ancient criminal minds

The time of Emperor Yongning's death was beyond Rong Zhen's expectation. In his opinion, this emperor's brother has always made plans before acting. Since he issued an imperial decree to call himself back, he will never die before his return. , Something must have happened in Yanjing!

Originally, they had been on their way overnight, but Rong Zhen and Lu Zheng simply abandoned the carriage, and the group of people rushed towards Yanjing.

Immediately behind them was Jian Yu and his party. He also knew the news that Emperor Yongning had passed away. He had known that King Wei would definitely move, but he never thought that King Wei would move so fast, but the messenger What does it mean that there is only a funeral, and there is no mention of the new king in half a sentence?

Chen Jiang frowned and said, "Master, do we still have to go to Beijing as planned?"

Jian Yu pondered for a moment before saying: "No, we will divide into two groups. You will lead people into the capital to investigate the situation, while I will work in secret alone."

"Is this... too dangerous? You should bring two guards!"

Jian Yu shook her head: "No, it's more convenient for me to do things alone."

Chen Jiang knew his kung fu, so he didn't say any more, and bowed to him: "Then I will take a step ahead."

Jian Yu left the team alone and went to the other side, while Chen Jiang led his people towards Yanjing.

But Yanjing at this moment is indeed turbulent, and the situation is difficult to understand.

Three days ago, Emperor Yongning died suddenly in the Palace of Qinzheng. Immediately afterwards, Liang Kai, the commander of the Golden Armored Guards, was killed. Liang Jue, the deputy commander of the Golden Armored Guards, quickly took control of the Golden Armored Guards and surrounded the entire Yanjing.At the same time, the second prince was killed in the mansion, and although the fourth prince escaped, he also fell from the carriage, and his life and death are unknown at this moment.Before Xunchengying and Gyeonggi guards could react, the camp had already been thrown by a group of men in black, causing heavy losses.Under such circumstances, the attitude of Luo Xian, the leader of the Chijiawei, was ambiguous, which caused the entire Yanjing to panic.

As the instigator behind all this, Wei Wang Rongyou should have felt happy, but his attitude was completely opposite. He had a mask on his face, and only a cold voice came out: "Have you found anyone yet?"

Of the two kneeling under his head, one of them is Liang Jue, the current commander of the Golden Armor Guard, and the other is Han Zhu who disappeared with King Wei back then.Both of them looked stern at the moment, and Liang Jue even had a look of shame on his face.

At that time, after the sudden death of Emperor Yongning, Liang Jue quickly led his troops to surround the palace, but even under such circumstances, he still let Xuan Yi escape. If only Xuan Yi escaped, he would not be of much use as a warrior , but the problem is that he still carries the Chuanwei Zhaoshu and Chuanguo Yuxi on his body, which is why the officials are still vacillating.

"Forget it, Xuan Yi can't do anything alone, so he must find a helper. The most likely person is Rong Zhen. If you keep an eye on the officials, as long as you see Xuan Yi, you will be killed!"

"Yes! This subordinate obeys the order!" Liang Jue followed the order and left.

When he left, Rong You let out a sigh of relief.

Han Zhu also had a serious expression on his face. They all knew that according to the dosage of their medication, Emperor Yongning should never have died so early. What happened to this? Although everything seems to be beneficial to them at the moment, there are still many things that cannot be solved. Controlling factors, at least Xuanyi caught them by surprise when he escaped with Chuanwei Zhaoshu and Chuanguo Yuxi.

"Is the kid back?"

Rong You didn't mention his name, but Han Zhu also knew that he was referring to Jian Yu, so he restrained his expression and said, "Your Majesty should have passed through Zhaoxian County in a while, I think it's coming soon."

Rong You snorted coldly: "He is so self-assertive, it can be seen that he doesn't regard me as his father."

"The prince has always been cautious, and he didn't get along with His Highness, so he was on guard." Han Zhu has followed Rong You for many years, and he knows that he is not dissatisfied with Jian Yu in his heart. He is saying that Rong You has nothing but Jian Yu. For the other children, if he wins the world, won't he be handed over to Jian Yu in the future?

Rong Yoo didn't say any more, why didn't he understand what Han Zhu said, if possible, how would he be willing to separate from his wife and children, and let his own son grow up with the reputation of "illegitimate child".It's just that if he did it again, he would make the same choice. He knew that Gao Jinwen blamed him, so he refused to tell Jian Yu his true identity until his death.

"Forget it, let's not talk about him." Rong You put aside the affection of these children and asked Han Zhu, "Have the people sent to encircle and suppress Rong Zhen been arranged?"

Han Zhu nodded: "It has already been arranged, and the subordinates will personally lead the team, so we must kill Rong Zhen."

"I heard that he's been investigating about Concubine Jin all these years?" Rong You sneered, "Stupid."

Han Zhu lowered his head and did not speak.

Rong You didn't want to say more, and said to Han Zhu: "You go."

Han Zhu led the order to leave.

Yanjing has already entered summer at this time, and even the wind carries the heat that cannot be dissipated. Suddenly, the fresh green is replaced by green shade, and the annoying cicadas sounded at an unknown time.For the people of Yanjing, this is probably a summer they will remember deeply.

Emperor Yongning's coffin was parked above the main hall, surrounded by ice cubes, and all the officials and wives who came to cry were panic-stricken.Because of the deaths and injuries of the second prince and the fourth prince, the third prince who had never had a sense of existence turned out to be the third prince who had never had a sense of existence for Emperor Yongning. Cautious personality, appearing timid, made Yongning Emperor's funeral extraordinarily bleak.

Emperor Yongning died in the Hall of Qinzheng, and there were several elders present at the time, and it was because of them that he withstood the pressure and mourned, otherwise Emperor Yongning would have been even more desolate.

In addition to the former dynasty, the harem was also surrounded by golden armored guards, making the concubines who wanted to send news helpless.High-ranking concubines would come to the mourning hall to cry every day and then be sent back to the bedroom under strict guard. Everyone dared to be angry and dare not speak out about the matter of the prince and the fourth prince.

Among them, Concubine Zhuang, who lost her husband and son at the same time, seemed the most pitiful.Her eyes were already red and swollen from crying, and her whole body seemed to be stunned by the shock. Her originally well-maintained appearance instantly aged. She was brought here to cry every day, but she was like a wooden doll, dumbfounded. Stand still, neither speak nor eat.The two maids guarding her relaxed their vigilance a little.

After crying for the day, the two maids supported Zhuang Concubine and walked out of the mourning hall. Somehow, Zhuang Concubine's body suddenly weakened and she fell down.

There was an uproar at the scene, and the imperial physician who was guarding at the side hurried over, and Concubine Zhuang woke up after a lot of tossing. It'll be fine."

Concubine Zhuang said quietly: "What kind of medicine does this palace take now...it's better to go down earlier to accompany His Majesty."

Seeing that she woke up, the two maids were relieved, not daring to let her delay here, and said a little forcefully: "Your Majesty is not feeling well, let's go back to the bedroom first."

Concubine Zhuang laughed mockingly, she didn't know whether she was laughing at them or herself, she pushed away the support of these two people, and stumbled towards the door.

After returning to the bedroom, Concubine Zhuang showed fatigue on her face: "You all go down, this palace is going to rest."

The two maids looked at each other, but did not move.

Concubine Zhuang's deeply buried resentment seemed to be ignited all of a sudden, she stood up abruptly, brushed all the things off the table, and sneered, "Why? Now that I'm with the new master, I won't let you go. Are you in my eyes? Don’t forget, no matter what you do, you are nothing more than two slaves! Even if this palace is in trouble, you are still the master. There are many, and there is no shortage of you two!"

One court lady frowned, pulled the sleeve of another court lady, and shook her head at her.The two saluted, then retreated quietly.

After they left, Concubine Zhuang stopped for a while, and when she heard no movement, she quickly ran to the bed, lifted the things covered on it, and said in a low voice, "There's no one else, come out."

After a while, the bed board was moved away without a sound, and a man jumped out from inside. It was the Xuan Yi whom Liang Jue and the others had been looking for so hard.

Xuan Yi's face was pale and his lips were cracked. He pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Concubine Zhuang."

Concubine Zhuang smiled wryly: "I don't look like an empress now, every day is worse than a prisoner." She shook her head, "Don't talk about that, I'll get you some water to drink."

Liang Jue and the others surrounded the palace to death. Xuan Yi had no way to escape and could only temporarily hide in the secret passage, but this was still not an option, not to mention that the king of Chu didn't even know what happened in Yanjing at this moment. Whatever happened, if he came rashly, he might be ambushed by King Wei, so no matter what, he had to escape and hand over the letter of entitlement and jade seal to King Chu.

Under such circumstances, Xuan Yi went to find Concubine Zhuang, the reason why he didn't look for anyone else was because Concubine Zhuang not only had a high status in the harem, but also had the city and strategy.At that time, they didn't know that the second prince was killed by King Wei, so although Concubine Zhuang took Xuan Yi in, she didn't fully agree to him. It wasn't until she heard the news of her son's death that Concubine Zhuang was in great pain that she agreed to Xuan Yi. Cooperation.

Xuan Yi drank the water before asking: "Did your empress send the letter?"

Concubine Zhuang nodded, but her face was still solemn: "Although I handed it over to Mr. Tao, but now Yanjing is also besieged, how can he send the news?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as the news reaches Mr. Tao, he will naturally have a way to contact His Highness the King of Chu."

Concubine Zhuang's eyes filled with hatred: "I only hope that the king of Chu will wipe them out in one fell swoop, and divide the culprit into five horses, so that I can avenge my son!"
