The servant was grabbed, and immediately swung his knife angrily to stab him.Wei Changning was bare-handed, and the servant was a warrior. The two were incomparable. The sharp blade slid across his forearm and cut through the official robe.

"Wei Changgeng..." Rong Zhan shouted in shock.

But what happened in an instant, the servant was blocked by someone, and she almost succeeded, Duan Ren simply slashed at the person who blocked her.Wei Changning's forearm was cut and he couldn't stand in pain. Seeing the silver light of the blade above his head, he turned over and rolled to the side.

She moved fiercely, and the servant once again lost his chance. When he tried to chase after her again, the Jinwu Guard from outside the palace arrived. Seeing no success, he simply raised his knife and killed himself.

The knife slid across the neck, and blood spurted out, making the palace people in the courtyard scream, never had they seen such a brutal scene.The queen fell down on the side of the couch and realized that she was not too angry when she saw the assassin committing suicide. If the assassination failed, she would have to suffer a lot. It would be better to commit suicide.

She coughed a few times, and the palace people gathered around, terrified.

Rong Zhan didn't get close, but ran towards Wei Changning, and saw that she was covering her right arm, and blood flowed from the gap between her five fingers, staining her left hand red.The ground under his right hand was stained red with blood. Wei Changning didn't cry out, but looked at the fallen servant coldly, thinking who sent this person here. Whose way?

Bi Lan responded, and when she saw the guard with pale lips, she hurriedly said, "Hurry up and invite the imperial physician."

When the imperial physician comes, he must diagnose the pulse.Wei Changning refused, avoiding Rong Zhan's support, wobbled a few steps before standing firmly, shaking his head: "It's just a minor injury, don't alarm the imperial physician."

She was weak all over, and she still remembered that she couldn't give the imperial physician a pulse. Only Shen Cong'an could reassure her.

Rong Zhan was the closest to her. Seeing the blood continuously slid down the back of his right hand, and the blood flow continued, he said worriedly: "Stop the bleeding first, why should the guard be so brave." He stretched out his hand to support her shaking body. She ducks.

Wei Changning didn't want to stay for long, so he made a vain salute to the queen, "I will leave the palace first."

Under the sun, her figure was thin and stubborn, and the queen was still in shock. After hearing Wei Changning's voice, she saw her blood-stained arm through the palace guards, and remembered that someone had stopped the assassin just in time.

The ground under her feet was originally a piece of green grass, but it was stained red with blood. The queen said in shock: "The guard first stops the bleeding, I will order someone to bring the imperial doctor over."

Wei Changning's eyes were slack, but he shook his head at the queen: "Small injuries don't need to alarm the imperial physician. There is also an imperial physician in the minister's residence, and His Highness was also shocked. It's better to ask the imperial physician to show you."

The queen has experienced too much wind and rain in these years, and she was only afraid for a while, so she ordered the palace servants to help the servant into the palace.The palace servants walked over, but before touching Wei Changning, she avoided her.

She was in a daze from the pain, with only a few sane left, her intact left hand began to go numb and stiff, she didn't know how to deal with the current situation, she just hoped that Jun Qin would come over soon and bring her back to the house.

Rong Zhan's eyes were strange, Wei Changning's hands were soaked in blood in just a moment, he tried to persuade him: "If Minister Wei delays any longer, his arm will be useless."

It is better to be abolished than to be found out. Wei Changning still insisted on going back. The queen was already exhausted after all these twists and turns. deal with.

I believe that the servant of the guard was injured here, without her investigation, the Taifu will also investigate the matter clearly.

Wei Changning breathed a sigh of relief, and walked out of the palace by himself without help.Her arm hurt so badly that she lost half of her strength, her eyes were dazed, and she was always paying attention to whether Rong Zhan was close.

Bilan has never seen such a stubborn young man. She is a woman, but she will not attract others to talk too much even if she helps the courtiers out of the palace.

Rong Zhan walked over and reached out to help her. Wei Changning leaned against the palace wall and couldn't walk anymore. He seemed to see the Jinwu Guard approaching from a distance. The person in front of him looked very familiar. After thinking about it, it was Han Yuan. .

Along the way, the floor tiles of the palace road were covered with Wei Changning's blood. Han Yuan was a soldier and was extremely sensitive to blood, so he almost ran over.Seeing Rong Zhan's gloomy expression, he somewhat understood Taifu's concerns.

Seeing the Great General of Jinwuwei, Bilan said first, "Assassins appeared in the Changqiu Palace, and the servant of the guard was involved. The general will go to the palace to have a look first."

"Okay, I'll order someone to take a look. Wei Shilang's injury is not clear, I'll take you to stop the bleeding." Han Yuan said a few words to Bilan, picked up Wei Changning and strode out of the palace.

Wei Changning didn't refuse, and let Han Yuan take her away. Thinking about the affairs in Changqiu Palace, Bi Lan ordered the little palace servants to follow General Han, saluted Rong Zhan and left in a hurry.

Rong Zhan did not leave, but followed Han Yuan all the way.

Han Yuan did not send him out of the palace, but took him to the resting place of the Jinwu Guards, and ordered people to go outside the gate of the palace to invite the grand master to come in.He knew that Rong Zhan was following, so he kept them out.Rong Zhan didn't want to, so he yelled twice outside, this is the place of the Jinwu Guard, the general asked to stop, who would dare not obey.

Wei Changning was in a semi-comatose state, and it was hard for Han Yuan to entrust others to stop the bleeding, so he had to self-injure himself.The injury was on his arm, not a secret place, he apologized, and then pushed back the wide sleeves on his arm, half of his arm was blood red.

Han Yuan looked at the wound and found that the bleeding was dark red. He was startled and only stopped the bleeding. When the Tai Tuo came, he first said: "I dare not ask the Tai Physician, the wound is poisonous."

Jun Qin trembled and said, "Go back to the Wei Mansion first."

*****

After such a big change in the central palace, the guards became more stringent, and the empress became more and more ill. She went to the imperial doctor several times, but nothing worked. Some people guessed that it would be only a few days.

Rong Zhan ran into a wall in the Wei Mansion, saw no one, and left angrily.

The assassin committed suicide, and Han Yuan couldn't find any specific clues. The emperor was furious and ordered him to investigate thoroughly. The servant entered Changqiu Palace as a reward in the name of the emperor. A murderous intention arose.

When the emperor was furious, he did not forget to send someone to visit the sick, and it was Lin Xitang who was sent.

Han Yuan didn't know what the emperor meant. He knew that Lin Xiang and the Taifu were at odds with each other in politics, and it was not good to send someone to visit the sick, so he was only ordered to go to the Weifu.

The atmosphere in the main courtyard of the Wei Mansion was gloomy, Shen Cong'an changed his usual lazy temperament, although the doctor's attitude fluctuated, he prescribed medicine and boiled it himself.

When Lin Xiang came, Wei Changning didn't wake up, and Jun Qin didn't have time to entertain him, so he sent Yuan An to the outer courtyard.

You must meet people when you visit a sick person. Wei Changning is a woman, how could Jun Qin let him see it? The old fox must come here to find out the truth, but Jun Qin refused to let him wish, and ordered Yuan An to spread the word that the knife was poisonous and poisonous. Ferocious, Wei Shilang was seriously injured and was still awake, so he had no time to see him.

The words were too direct, showing a bit of urgency. Lin Xitang was speculating on the truth of this matter. The assassin committed suicide without leaving any clues, but he just assassinated the foreign minister when he entered the palace. What's the meaning?

After being shut down, Lin Xitang returned to the palace depressed, and reported the words to the emperor.The emperor was worried about the queen's illness, and when he heard that the knife was poisoned, he was not very optimistic. He settled down, and after a moment of silence, he said: "When the king died, he was a few years younger than her, so it is likely that he grew up similarly, and his fate is also the same. ?”

Lin Xitang didn't know why His Majesty mentioned Dai Wang, he couldn't figure out the sacred meaning, so he didn't dare to answer casually, and said in a regular manner: "Wei Shilang is a lucky man, he will definitely survive."

"Blessed?" The emperor didn't understand his words.

Lin Xitang replied: "It is not a blessing to marry a woman like Taifu."

"Really?" The emperor groaned softly, after a while he remembered something and asked, "What kind of poison is in Wei Changgeng's body?"

The emperor remembered that the capital poison of the Dai Wang was still playing tricks, but he didn't know if Wei Changgeng was playing tricks this time.

"I don't know, I didn't see the guard when I entered the mansion, and the Taifu didn't come out." Lin Xitang showed bitterness. To put it bluntly, he just ran for nothing, and nothing was done. The owner was invited out of the mansion without even seeing him.

Seeing that he didn't know, the emperor sent him back, but what was on his mind was Li Qi, the acting king.On behalf of Wang Yan, famous doctors were invited, but they failed to detoxify.Before he left, he had also been to Dai Wang's Mansion, Li Qi didn't want to see him, so he just said a few words through the screen, he didn't suspect it at that time, now that he thinks about it, could it be that he knows what happened?

After doing something bad, the emperor also felt flustered. It is true that he killed countless people, but that man was his brother's only heir, so he couldn't bear it.

Somehow, the emperor drew up an imperial decree and handed it over to the Ministry of Rites to pass it on.

Gao Yi was startled when he saw the imperial decree, and sent someone to pass the message quietly to the emperor's mansion.

Wei Mansion was brightly lit, Wei Changning didn't wake up, Shen Cong'an asked someone to pour some decoction, but there was no response, Yuan An anxiously circled around him, making him dizzy, said angrily: "Hurry up, it's best to guard the gate of Wei Mansion." appropriate."

Yuan An was frustrated and didn't dare to talk back, so he had to walk out of the main courtyard in three steps.

Mu Guogong came at night, and when he came back from visiting the camp, Mu Ji kept the news from his mother and only dared to tell his father.The two of them came together, Mu Guogong spent half his life on the battlefield, but in the end there was only such a granddaughter, so he was naturally very nervous.

In her opinion, Wei Changning lost his mother when he was young, and he disguised himself as a man for several years. It was rare to meet such a good woman as the Taifu, and he didn't want to encounter such a thing properly.It was not easy for the father and son to go into the inner room, so Jun Jin went to tell them about his condition.

How to detoxify, Shen Cong'an is [-]% sure, it's just a matter of time.What Jun Qin told them was something else, about being an assassin.

Mu Ji was also thinking about this question, "The empress has lived in peace for many years, and her illness has recurred. She doesn't need to be assassinated and she doesn't know how long she will last. Why bother to take risks?"

The problem he couldn't figure out, Jun Qin understood that most of the things about the queen's search for the son were leaked, which aroused the fear of others, so he thought of assassinating.

After several generations of changes, Mu Guogong naturally thought more deeply than Mu Ji, and said: "The empress has been suffering from heart problems for many years, and the medicine has been ineffective. The only person blocking the way is her descendant. Could it be..."

He paused and looked at Jun Jin with deep eyes.Jun Qin understood what he meant, "Most likely, the assassin committed suicide is true, but the badge on his body comes from the Tai Chi Hall. As long as we check it again and again, there must be clues, and Jiang Jijiu will definitely mention it in the hall tomorrow, please." The two of you will help him."

In Jun Qin's mind, this matter cannot be simply passed on as it is, it will inevitably set off a storm in the court.

Mu Guogong and his son couldn't see Wei Changning, so they went back to the mansion first, and came back tomorrow after they woke up.When I go back to the mansion, I have to think about how to talk to Mrs. Guo, and choose my words, so as not to scare her.

Jun Qi ordered Yuan An to leave the mansion from the two, and returned to the couch to guard Wei Changning.

Wei Changning didn't wake up until dawn.She drifted between half-awake and half-asleep, she could hear everything around her ears clearly, but she couldn't open her mouth to speak, she faintly heard the words "poisoned", she couldn't tell whether the scene in front of her was illusion or reality, if it was reality, but It is back to the past.

Confused, she couldn't figure out her thoughts, her heart hurt more than the wound, like being pricked by a needle unexpectedly, causing her whole body to convulse in pain.She struggled a few times in her sleep, the burning sensation hit her, her mouth was dry, someone gave her water to drink, and the warm water slid down her throat into her abdomen, dispelling the heat.

She didn't know where the strength came from, and tried to open her eyes, staring blankly at the illusory Junqin in front of her, but the tip of her nose was lingering with a cold fragrance, real and blurred.

People are awake, about to be a little silly.Jun Jin touched her burning forehead and said in a low voice, "Speak when you wake up, don't scare people for no reason."

Wei Changning's eyes were clouded, he tilted his head to look at the screen, and his voice was hoarse: "Where is Gu Sheng?"

Suddenly mentioning an irrelevant person, Jun Jin's face was gloomy, and he looked at Wei Changning intently, as if he was spying on her thoughts.

Wei Changning's eyes were astringent from the burn, and after opening his eyes, he was too tired to close them for a while. Her arm hurt so badly that she moved her brows tightly in pain.In a daze, a warm hand caressed her cheek with light force, like a feather brushing by.

This kind of touching seemed to give her strength, and when she opened her eyes again, she looked at Jun Jin's clean face, her eyes were very gentle, but there was an indescribable silence.She pursed her lips, lowered her eyelashes, and said, "I'm sorry."

She seems to have caused her a lot of trouble. Without her, the husband should live a full life without worrying about it.

His voice was deep and weak.Jun Qin was silent, brushing her fingertips over her tightly furrowed eyebrows, sliding down inch by inch, and landing on the corner of her lips, inexplicably moved her heart, she leaned over and kissed the corner of her lips proactively.

Her kiss was different from Wei Changning's, it was cold and intoxicating.Wei Changning was stunned by the sudden kiss, and catered to her helplessly. She felt weak all over, her mouth was bitter, and when she encountered the sweet taste, she was both happy and nervous.

Jun Qin was out of breath, and just let go, staring at Wei Changning's misty eyes, and said seriously: "You don't have to feel sorry for me. After you recover from your injury, you will move to the study room, and you will not come back after staying for half a year."

Wei Changning was immersed in the joy that his husband kissed her actively, when he heard this sentence when he was at a loss, his whole body fell from the cloud into dust, and he couldn't say a word.After reacting, she shook her head suddenly: "Too, too long."

"That's one year." Jun Qin tucked in the quilt, stroked her reddish lips, and felt a little at ease in his heart, ignoring her aggrieved expression, and called the maidservant to bring the detoxification soup.

Wei Changning was bitter in his heart. He saw that the medicine was bitter everywhere. He didn't want to drink it but was afraid of offending Junqin, so he drank it obediently. It was so bitter that the wound didn't even know it hurt. , specially added Huang Lian?"

Jun Chen didn't answer, but helped her to lie down.Wei Changning grabbed her sleeve with his left hand and asked about what happened to her after she passed out yesterday.

"The assassin committed suicide, and the instigator behind it has never been found out. Han Yuan and Dali Temple are continuing to investigate." Jun Qin pulled her hand off, put it in the quilt, poked her on the forehead, and blamed her: "Is anyone in danger? You go to block? Don't worry."

She was not angry when she said 'not worrying', but Wei Changning could hear a bit of pampering, she felt very comfortable in her heart, and said: "It's only natural for my subordinates to protect the emperor. servant."

"It's just and right." Jun Qin chewed these four words repeatedly, staring at Wei Changning's pale face. After the fever subsided, the person looked weaker. She suppressed her distress, pinched her face, and imitated her tone: "You made a mistake. Sleeping in the study is justified."

No, this is unreasonable.Wei Changning immediately wanted to protest, but before he could say anything, the husband turned and left, leaving her stunned.

People wake up, and there is no serious problem.Jun Qin was also a little tired, thinking of going to the study to rest for a while, maybe he had to deal with other things later.

After Jun Jin fell asleep for a while, Lin Xuan came from Jun's mansion. She also heard the news of what happened yesterday, and she should have come to have a look at it at night.

After the Taifu fell asleep, she didn't want to disturb her, so she stopped by to see Wei Changning.At that time, Wei Changning was trapped in the perplexity of "sleeping in the study room as a matter of course", and his arms were also hurting badly, and he couldn't sleep, so he was thinking wildly on the bed.

After Lin Xuan entered, seeing Wei Changning's expression clearly, she couldn't help but think of the bond between her and the empress, and said first: "The empress was frightened, and she was also ill."

"Isn't the queen always sick?" Wei Changning was puzzled. Lin Xuan came here just to tell her that the queen was seriously ill?

She was in so much pain that she was unable to talk to others, and her energy was exhausted. Seeing that Lin Xuan was still silent, she asked, "Where did the Grand Tutor go?"

"Fall asleep." Lin Xuan said, she carefully observed Wei Changning's expression, calm but puzzled.Lin Xuan thought for a while, the light in her eyes dimmed a little, and said again: "You have a good rest."

She stayed in the room for less than a moment, when Wei Changning saw her disappear behind the screen, his mind was dizzy, Lin Xuan spoke strangely, but couldn't explain why.

In the study, Jun Qin woke up after sleeping for half an hour, thinking about Wei Changning in his heart, and asked someone to call Shen Cong'an, and wanted to ask if there would be any sequelae after detoxification.She opened the official documents in the study, and it wasn't Shen Cong'an who came, but Lin Xuan.

Last night Gao Yi ordered someone to go to the Jun's mansion to spread the word secretly, and that's why Lin Xuan came here today.After she entered the room, she closed the door and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty wants to make His Highness the Fifth Prince a crown prince, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to secretly designate a posthumous title."

The tip of the pen paused, and ink stains appeared on the white paper. Jun Jin said with deep brows, "Is he guilty, or is he trying to appease the queen?"

"It's mostly to appease the Jiang family. Jiang Huai tried his best to investigate the matter thoroughly in the court today. He will not give up until he finds out the mastermind behind it. Moreover, the badge on the servant's waist is the Tai Chi Palace. He suspects that His Majesty did it on purpose. After all, although the Queen's illness is repeated , but still alive." Lin Xuan said.

Jun Qin shook his head, his expression changed several times: "Not necessarily, it is probably another person in the palace. After she finds out about the search for a son, if His Highness the Fifth Prince returns, the Empress will take the title of heir by precedent, not to mention other things." , It depends on His Majesty's guilt, and the weight is not small. She is a concubine, and the queen is still a queen regardless of things. .”

Lin Xuan said: "Such a big investment can be made in the matter of chasing wind and shadow, if you really come back, wouldn't it be more dangerous."

The light in the study room was not good, and Jun Qin's expression was hidden in the dark, which made Lin Xuan unable to see clearly. He only heard the Taifu say: "Others should not know about this matter, so you should order someone to reveal it."

What the emperor wants to do is repeatedly blocked, which will definitely arouse his wrath. It is impossible for the baby in the swaddle to die. It is impossible for the fifth prince to not only get the jade certificate, but now he is chasing it with great fanfare. How can others Accept it calmly, and you won't be reconciled if you don't make a fuss.

Lin Xuan obeyed the order and went out. At the main entrance, she met Mrs. Mu Guogong who came in a hurry. She stopped and stepped aside.

Wei Changning didn't fall asleep. When he saw the old man, he felt ashamed. He first apologized and then admitted his mistake.She was so well-behaved and obedient, Mrs. Mu Guogong held back her curse words, and sighed as she looked at her.

Sensing the sly gleam in Wei Changning's eyes, Jun Qin glanced at her, and immediately left the two of them talking.There are a lot of people who come to visit the sick, and many colleagues will come over after the court, naturally including Rong Zhan.

Thinking about it carefully, Rong Zhan was in Beijing and was staring at him, why not take this opportunity to send him out of Beijing for a few years, and wait until the matter fades away.Thinking of this, she ordered someone to make arrangements.

Lin Xitang came over at dusk, and Jun Qin had time to see her. Today she asked for leave and did not go to the morning court.The matter in the palace was not missed. The attempted assassination of the queen gave the Jiang family a reminder that blindly retreating in a low voice may not make others relax their vigilance.

Jiang Huai's reaction made Lin Xitang think of the deceased Fifth Highness. Hearing that His Royal Highness the Queen is looking for it, the vast crowd may not be able to find it, and the chances are too small.He came here today to explain His Majesty's intentions, saying: "Your Majesty intends to restore the Wei family's title, it depends on what the Taifu does."

"It's the prime minister's intention that I order the Jiang family to put down all flags and drums?" Jun Chen laughed.

Lin Xitang felt very comfortable talking to smart people, but it was easy to dislike someone who was too smart. Although the two were evenly matched now, he felt that his position was in jeopardy. After all, if he was in the wrong position, everything would be empty.

He smiled, acquiescing to Jun Qin's words.Jun Qin said, "As far as Chang Geng is concerned, he doesn't have much fun, I'm afraid I will disappoint His Majesty."

Lin Xitang was disappointed, and said: "Teacher can ask Wei Shilang what he thinks when he goes back, and the position of Marquis can be left to future generations."

Jun Qin pursed the corners of his lips, because the Marquis didn't want it because it was convenient for future generations.She shook her head in disapproval.

The negotiations were at an impasse, and Lin Xitang didn't want to return without success. Jun Qin said: "The Jiang family only wants messengers. Once the truth is found out, they will definitely not continue to make trouble."

Lin Xitang felt that this woman was pretending again. The murderer must be among the emperor's heirs. The empress was just a little frightened, and it was nothing serious. If the murderer was found, the emperor's child would be the one who died and injured. , the emperor naturally wanted to choose a simple solution.

Jiang Huai had followed the emperor for many years, and understood the emperor's intention to protect his shortcomings, so he made a fuss in the palace.He has always been fearless, and the emperor can't touch him, so he thought of using his title to attract Jun Qin to deal with him, but Jun Qin didn't have these thoughts.
