Those Years In Quest Of Honor Mine

Before the words fell, Xuan Qiong's face turned pale, his knees softened, and he knelt down with a plop.

Zhong Wan is helpless, this trash.

Xuan Jing was always half a beat slower than others, and he was stunned for a while before he realized it. His eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but gleefully said, "Fifth brother, now I only say that the palace was built by King Yu, and I didn't say that the assassin was sent by King Yu." Yes, what are you anxious about? Could it be that you know something?"

Xuan Qiong didn't know why he was so guilty at the moment. He had been under house arrest by Emperor Chong'an for many days, and he had already become a frightened bird. He was terrified at the slightest sign of trouble. He managed to calm himself down and said in a low voice, "Father, uncle definitely, definitely doesn't know Affection……"

Emperor Chong'an looked at Xuan Qiong without a word, his eyes were full of exhaustion.

Emperor Chong'an lowered his eyelids, "I don't believe it...get up."

Xuan Qiong hurriedly got up, and stood aside tremblingly.

No one spoke in the hall for a while, and after a while, the chief guard of the palace entered the hall and replied, "Go back to the emperor, all the palaces and gardens have been checked and cleaned up, and the ministers and other escorts are not good. Please forgive me."

"Surely I can't spare you!" Xuan Jing fell asleep soundly, but was suddenly woken up and became very angry. It was the first time he encountered an assassination, and it was simply inexplicable, "Half of the guards here came a few days ago. The palace is on guard, why do you work as errands?!"

"Now is not the time to pursue this." Emperor Chong'an frowned, "Let's talk about the assassins first, have they all been captured?"

The head guard nodded, "Yes, all palaces, gardens, and hidden places have been searched, and skilled people have inspected the rooms, fearing that there may be water ghosts, nets have been pulled in the pool, and they have been checked and cleaned."

Emperor Chong'an breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, it's late at night, I'm going to see the eldest princess, you go back to your courtyard first, by the way..."

Emperor Chong'an frowned and said, "Has the imperial physician come? The eldest princess has been in the side hall for half a day, why didn't the imperial physician come back to me?"

An old eunuch hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, the emperor, the imperial doctor is bandaging the eldest princess. I haven't had time to come back to reply. The old slave just went to see it. The imperial doctor said that there is no vital injury, and it is not bad."

Emperor Chong'an's complexion became even worse, "Trash! There are so many people, I can't protect a princess!"

The chief guard who just got up heard the words and knelt down again, bowed his head and said, "Your servant is incompetent, the princess's palace is the closest to the bamboo forest, and the assassin went first to the princess's place. Fortunately, the guard on duty at night was patrolling the palace at the time Outside the princess's palace, otherwise...the minister will not be able to apologize for his sins if he dies."

Emperor Chong'an pondered for a moment, and said to himself, "Fortunately, fortunately..."

The chief guard said that he would die, but he still wanted to excuse the guards, "There are so many assassins, and they suddenly exploded. I really didn't expect it. More than half of the guards who were watching the night were killed or injured, and they have tried their best."

Emperor Chong'an had already gotten up to go to the side hall, but he paused for a moment, then slowly turned his head, frowning a little bit, "Not all the assassins went to the Princess Chang's palace, more than half of the guards on duty at night were killed or injured... this assassin is how many people?"

The guard said, "A total of 37 assassins, 30 were killed, two were seriously injured, and five were slightly injured."

Emperor Chong'an's expression changed.

Xuan Jing was dumbfounded, "Is there still alive? Then the trial!"

The chief guard wanted to make up for his mistakes, so he hurriedly said, "Yes! Don't worry, your majesty! We have already taken care of the five people who were slightly injured, and their mouths are also blocked. There is no possibility of thinking about it! Now we only have to wait for the gang of thieves to be tried! "

The blood on Emperor Chong'an's face faded away, his body swayed slightly, and after barely steadying himself, he sat down again while leaning on the low table.

Emperor Chong'an coughed suddenly, and the old eunuchs stepped forward to relieve him.

Standing aside, Zhong Wan frowned, turned her head and looked at Yu She, the two eyes met, Zhong Wan thought of something, took a deep breath, and a terrible thought suddenly popped up in her heart.

Emperor Chong'an coughed as if he was about to vomit his lungs out, and said in a hoarse voice for a while, "You don't have to... go back to your respective palaces..."

"Princesses are all going to be resettled in the Queen's Palace, princes, princes..."

Emperor Chong'an raised his head, glanced at his three sons, and after a while he ordered, "Xuan Qiong, Xuan Jing, stay in the West Hall, and Ziyou... stay in the East Hall. Without my clear instructions, you are not allowed to intrude, and you are not allowed to go out."

Xuan Jing was going to get violent again when he heard the words, he didn't want to be with Xuan Qiong, but seeing Emperor Chong'an's face was terrible, he bowed his head aggrievedly.

Emperor Chong'an looked at the head of the guard again, "Everyone is gathered in these two palaces, if you go on a business trip, don't blame me for not being kind enough."

It was much easier to take precautions now, and the chief guard hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.

Emperor Chong'an's face turned ashen, and he said again, "I'm really not in good spirits, so I won't go to see the princess. Someone... go to see the eldest princess for me, and comfort me. After she can walk, I will also send the princess to you." In the Queen's Palace, order the imperial physician to take care of her and not to go on business again."

The palace people responded and left.

"You guys go your separate ways too..." Emperor Chong'an was a little out of his wits, "Go, all of you."

Everyone's things were dispatched by the palace people, and the princes and princesses went separately according to Emperor Chong'an's instructions.

Naturally, Zhong Wan followed Yu She to the Dongpian Hall, and there were people from Emperor Chong'an inside and out, so it was not convenient to say a word, so Yu She ordered people to send his people over, and went to the bedroom with Zhong Wan.

Screening the palace people, the two went to bed, Yu She put his arms around Zhong Wan, and whispered in his ear, "You also feel that something is wrong, don't you?"

Zhong Wan didn't speak.

Yu She said softly, "Fortunately, you reminded me in time. When my people went to deliver snacks to the princess, I deliberately told the eldest princess's people that the palace has been idle for many years, and I am afraid that they will be neglected. The bamboo forest in the princess palace is connected to the outside of the palace. Lin Hai, I'm afraid there will be rats and snakes..."

Yu She kissed Zhong Wan sideways on the cheek, and murmured, "Princess may not have thought much of it when she heard it at first, but now...she must have understood that someone wants her life."

Zhong Wan rubbed against Yu She's arms, found a comfortable position for herself, and said in a low voice, "I feel something is wrong."

Partition walls have ears, no matter how soft the voice is, there is danger, Zhong Wan stopped talking, and instead wrote in Yu She's palm:

"The emperor and King Yu have been in harmony with each other for many years. At least on the surface, King Yu has been loyal to the emperor. King Yu has contributed to supporting the emperor before, and later has the task of raising the prince. He is also the son-in-law of the eldest princess and Xuan Qiong's relative. Uncle is the emperor's close relative, Prince Yu's mansion is related to many dignitaries in Beijing, such a person... the emperor can't touch him at all."

"No matter how many evil deeds King Yu has done, to the emperor, he is a great hero. Since ancient times, there must be an unforgivable reason for killing heroes, such as... killing the king."

Yu She was tickled by Zhong Wan's scratch, and held his hand.

Zhong Wan broke away lightly, and continued to write: "Although the emperor's move is a bit simple, it is the most effective. If it hadn't been for this accident, he could have easily killed Princess An."

"He is worried that Princess Anguo will become the empress dowager to manipulate you in the future, and he is also worried that after the incident of King Yu's regicide, King Yu will have nowhere to turn up Concubine Zhong's past, and he will kill the princess as a witness who is erratic. It's not hard to guess."

"All the previous circumstances are reasonable. The blame is that those who come to do these things must be dead soldiers. Why are there still people alive?"

Yu She's voice was inaudible, "The guard said that there were 37 assassins in total, 30 were killed, two were seriously injured, and five were slightly injured. After saying this, the emperor's expression changed."

Zhong Wan was silent for a moment, and wrote: "Which sentence do you think his face changed drastically?"

Yu She narrowed his eyes.

Zhong Wan continued to write: "Even if there are some dead men who regret it and don't want to die, but now they are all in the hands of the emperor. It won't be difficult to poison them secretly, right? It's not about fearing this sentence, then that is……"

Yu She said in a low voice, "There are 37 assassins in total."

Zhong Wan wrote one stroke at a time: "Is it possible...the emperor arranges assassins, not so many."

Yu She had this idea faintly in his mind just now, but after being told by Zhong Wan, he still couldn't help feeling chills down his back.

Even now, there may still be assassins hiding in this palace.

Or an assassin of unknown origin.

Zhong Wan wrote: "So he immediately changed his mind and detained the prince and princess together, because the palace is no longer under his control as he expected."

Yu She subconsciously hugged Zhong Wan even tighter.

Zhong Wan wrote: "Will he be suspicious of you?"

Yu She shook his head, "I don't know, it's possible."

Zhong Wan thought for a while, and then wrote: "However, he should also know that King Yu is more likely to attack. His layout is not too clever. It is possible for King Yu to predict in advance, but those few survivors are too terrible. Now, I can't guess who they will bite."

Yu She also wrote on Zhong Wan's palm: "Are you afraid they will bite me?"

Zhong Wan was not at ease.

Yu She shook his head, "Don't worry, it won't."

Zhong Wan blinked and whispered, "How do you know?"

Yu She wrote: "Based on what I know about the emperor, he will not let those few people live until tomorrow."

Yu She wrote again, "He can't be sure if there are any of his dead soldiers among those living. You also said that there may be some people who don't want to die temporarily? The most important thing in his life is reputation, and now he must only want to die. Shut up, otherwise this kind of thing will be yelled at, how big is the assassination? The emperor himself bought the murder and hurt the eldest princess... This is too big a joke."

Zhong Wan worried, "Really?"

Yu She nodded, "Trust me."

Zhong Wan looked at Yu She, and after the two of them looked at each other for a while, Zhong Wan sighed and said lightly, "Ziyou, do you know when was the last time you said 'trust me' to me?"

Yu She was stunned for a moment, unable to remember.

"Seven days ago, in the study in the other courtyard of Prince Yu's Mansion."

Zhong Wan had no expression on his face, and stopped writing, and said directly, "It was probably because there were few things in the cabinet that day and you were bored after a day of idleness, or maybe you were stimulated by some scripts you read outside, and you have nothing to do after returning home. The wind is three feet and the waves are flat, and the ground is full of waves! Suddenly tell me that you feel that you are not well, you have a headache, and you seem to be going to be sick."

Yu She put his arms around Zhong Wan, and said vaguely, "No, don't talk about this."

"What are you guilty of?!"

Zhong Wan's teeth were still itchy when he thought about it, "You pretended to be pretty, with a miserable look on your face! You even deliberately pretended to be a lover and asked me, if I'm sick and crazy, do you want to avoid me!"

"I was too worried about your illness, so I didn't think much about it. After being tossed on the bookshelf by you for half an hour, I didn't feel that something was right. Finally, I dragged my body and asked you if you were pretending or if you were bullying me with an excuse, Yu Little prince! Do you remember what you said at the time?" Zhong Wan bit Yu She's shoulder angrily, "You took my hand and said these two words to me affectionately! Believe me !"
