King Zhou was assassinated, and the whole palace was shocked for a while.

Jiang Wenyu sat calmly in King Zhou's bedroom, while arranging witch doctors to treat King Zhou, while turning away the concubines who came to visit.King Zhou had already lost a lot of blood after being carried back to the palace, and he was still lying on the couch.Beside him, Su Daji and a group of witch doctors were serving him.

The concubines outside the palace are still noisy.Impatiently waving his sleeves, Jiang Wenyu secretly thought that the second concubine Huang Yang couldn't hold back the scene.She led several palace people to the outside of the palace indifferently, and the concubines bowed down according to the ritual and did not mention it.

"Let me tell you my sisters, His Majesty was assassinated today and needs to rest." She unceremoniously issued the eviction order, and said with a blank expression: "Everyone, please go back. After a few days, His Majesty is in better health, and he will naturally invite all your sisters to attend to you."

"Why can concubine Su serve the king inside?" Immediately, some concubines were annoyed, and there was a lot of contempt in their words: "After all, she is a favorite concubine, and the treatment is different... But I didn't see her fighting to save the king today."

Glancing at her coldly, the harem is really a mess now.The concubine fell silent when she saw Jiang Wenyu's gaze, but her face was still unconvinced, she just muttered in a low voice.Even Ji Meiren came to the side to help, and said in a fuss: "Yes, speaking of it, who has the guts to murder the king?"

"Your Majesty will find out about this matter when he wakes up." Jiang Wenyu glanced at Ji Meiren, and said with a half-smile, "Could it be that my sister wants to do it for you? I heard that Xibohou is willing to help others, and he is really a good tutor." Said When she arrived at Xibohou, her heart skipped a beat, and she almost forgot an important thing.

Ji Meiren wanted to say something more, but she endured it.

"Okay." Jiang Wenyu expected that they would complain at most and would not cause any trouble, so he waved his hands and said, "The two noble concubines Huang and Yang are here with me. In addition, Ji Meiren is well-known, and she is also here today." Get up and serve the king." Ji Meiren and Xiqi had been communicating secretly for so long, how could she not know anything about it?Now that King Zhou is assassinated, we must guard against it.

She turned around and went back to the palace, and assigned Huang Yang, the second concubine, and Ji Meiren to serve King Zhou. After all, there was only Su Daji there, and she was not at ease.After thinking about it, he summoned Ya Bigan and Wucheng Wang Huang Feihu, and ordered them to strengthen the defense inside and outside the palace, and took the opportunity to firmly grasp the military power in their own hands.

Just wait for King Zhou to wake up.

"Crackling!"

After a long distance, I heard the sound of utensils being thrown to the ground and shattered, followed by King Zhou's slightly weak cursing: "Get out of here alone, you can't even do this well!"

She listened quietly for a while, thinking that King Zhou had calmed down, and then she pretended to be surprised, walked quickly to King Zhou and comforted him softly: "I heard that the king is awake, so I hurried over—it's just that the king Just better, what happened?"

Ji Meiren and all the court ladies knelt on the ground, and what made her even more surprised was that Su Daji also knelt down with a low eyebrow, holding a bowl of medicine in his hand.

"It's okay." King Zhou said unhappily, subconsciously covering his chest.Jiang Wenyu secretly guessed, maybe King Zhou made some request that they couldn't fulfill?After comforting King Zhou again, she ordered everyone to retreat, leaving only Ji Meiren and Su Daji behind.

"Where's the assassin?" Before Jiang Wenyu could report, King Zhou asked first.He'd just woken up, furious at what had happened yesterday.Embarrassing things happened one after another, and even when I wanted to get out of bed, I was told that I was unwell!

He became more and more displeased with the 'virtuous and docile' Ji Meiren, and at the same time thought of the 'virtuous and respectable' Xibohou father and son.

"I have already been arrested and brought to justice, waiting for the king's release." Jiang Wenyu said calmly: "Is the king interrogating now?"

"It doesn't matter if you shoot or kill!" King Zhou said violently, and then changed his words: "No—I just want to see who has the guts to assassinate! Immediately issue an order, and order Yabigan to interrogate him."

This time King Zhou was laying in his bedroom to make an order, and the person he could think of was Ya Bigan, the most powerful minister around him, so Fei Zhong had no chance to recommend himself to investigate the case.

"Your Majesty..." Su Daji said weakly from the side, looking at him with affection in her eyes: "This assassin is so vicious and cunning, and Lord Yaxiang has always been upright and selfless, I'm afraid I won't be able to interrogate anything from the assassin... why don't you send someone to assist you?" , what does Your Majesty think?"

"What Concubine Ai said is true." King Zhou nodded, frowned and thought for a moment, then glanced at her again: "Then in your opinion, who should you choose?"

"My concubine heard that Fei Zhong is a virtuous minister, so why not send him there. Su Da was overjoyed when she saw that King Zhou had fallen into a trap. Although yesterday's assassination did not go according to plan, she didn't suspect it, thinking it was just to let Zhou go. Wang hated the assassin even more.

"Then add one more, let Fei Zhong follow." King Zhou ordered the herald to lie down on the collapsed bed again, while Su Daji hurriedly stepped forward to serve the medicine.It might as well be that Jiang Wenyu casually added: "I didn't expect Sister Su to be so familiar with the courtiers of the great dynasty, even this palace is ashamed."

Su Daji's hands trembled, she calmed down, and then smiled and said: "The queen is joking, the concubines just happened to listen to my father talking about it when they were at home, and most of the great dynasties are talented people... To be honest, concubines But I don't know any of them."

"So that's how it is." Jiang Wenyu praised with a smile, "The Marquis of Jizhou has a heart."

King Zhou's eyes flashed, and then returned to normal.

***

There were very few taboos in the harem of the Shang Dynasty, so when Bigan and Fei Zhong came to report the results of the interrogation, Jiang Wenyu and the other concubines did not retreat, but stood calmly on one side, while King Zhou sat on the couch wearing his clothes.

"Did the two love ministers find anything out of the interrogation?" King Zhou said sternly with a grim expression.

"I am ashamed of the king's entrustment..." But Bigan bowed deeply and said in shame, "No matter how the minister and Lord Fei interrogate, the assassin is unwilling to confess, claiming that he must see the king..."

King Zhou looked at Fei Zhong suspiciously.

Fei Zhong thought that the assassin wanted to question Jiang Wenyu face to face, so he agreed with Bigan's statement.So King Zhou ordered someone to bring the assassin, only to see that the man had already been tortured so badly that his body was stained with blood.

"Who sent you to assassinate Gu?" King Zhou said coldly, wishing he could kill him with a sword.

The assassin raised his head, as if he was Jiang Huan, whom Jiang Wenyu hated so much.I saw him timidly looking up at King Zhou, and suddenly shouted sharply: "My lord, help me! I was ordered by Concubine Su to do this, and everything has nothing to do with me!"

"Your Majesty, he is talking nonsense!" King Zhou opened his eyes wide, but before he could react, Su Daji had already knelt down with a bang, and cried, "My Majesty, someone must have bribed this assassin and just wanted to put the blame on my concubine! "She reacted surprisingly quickly, unexpectedly, Jiang Huan pointed at her with red eyes and said: "Your Majesty is so ruthless! Have you forgotten that..."

He didn't forget to pull Fei Zhong: "I beg the king to spare my life, this matter is really the idea of ​​the concubine Su, and Master Fei Zhong..."

"Bold maniac, do you have any witnesses!" Jiang Wenyu asked aloud, King Zhou was too angry to speak after experiencing this change.

"How could there be a witness..." Jiang Huan said timidly, "Fei Zhong told me about this in private..."

Fei Zhong had already knelt down and sneered upon hearing this: "Your Majesty, this man is absolutely making up something. He poured dirty water on me and your empress without evidence. It can be seen that he has ulterior motives..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Huan shouted: "But I have evidence!" He hastily flicked on his body until he took out a red silk handkerchief: "The little one was afraid that Mr. Fei Zhong would silence him afterwards, so I quietly stole a token from him, I don't know which woman it belongs to..."

"Ah, isn't this the concubine Su's handkerchief?" Ji Meiren covered her mouth in surprise and recognized the Fang silk handkerchief.

King Zhou looked ferociously at the crowd kneeling on the ground, he opened his mouth, but said nothing.Suddenly he drew out the sword hanging on one side, and stabbed at Fei Zhong with his teeth and claws... His eyes went dark, and King Zhou's chest was red with blood, and he passed out on the ground.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

When everyone was in a hurry, Jiang Wenyu didn't forget the three people who were to be punished, and turned around with a sneer: "Come here, execute Fei Zhong immediately—Concubine Su and Jiang Huan will be put in death row temporarily, and wait for the king to wake up and deal with it."

A guard had already stepped forward to pull away Fei Zhong and Jiang Huan who were constantly struggling, and Su Fei Lihua lay down on the ground with rain, her eyes flickering.The palace servants behind her glanced at Jiang Wenyu indifferently, then nodded lightly—then stuck a spell on Concubine Su's back, making her unable to change.
