Empress Han

Just when the ruler wanted to pull the prince away, he found that the assassin's sword was not aimed at the prince, because when the assassin's sword tip moved, it was actually himself.

Originally, the prince jumped at the prince to avoid the sword. As long as the prince is not stupid, even if he pulls the prince and runs, he can at least gain some distance. But the prince has never encountered such a dangerous situation, and he is a little scared. Silly, I just subconsciously pulled Zhengjun to hide for a while, but the assassin's sword still stabbed Zhengjun's arm, and when he tried to strike at the heart again, how could the guards give him a chance? Subdued.

With no assassins to threaten, the prince's reaction came back, "Zhengjun, Zhengjun, are you okay?"

Zhengjun clutched his arm, the sword pierced quite deeply, and the blood was soaking this piece of sleeve.

Zhengjun shook his head, "The concubine is fine, she just stabbed her arm, but His Highness, are you fine?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm okay, this assassin is so bold, I will definitely kill you to vent my anger." The prince half-supported the prince, for fear of touching the prince's wound, although he knew that the assassin's target was not him the moment he struck. , but the prince's anger has not dissipated at all, and the glaring sword tip is in front of his eyes. It is hard to say that this politician has no intention of killing him. What's more, the political monarch is his wife, and targeting the political monarch is not targeting him.If he couldn't even protect his own wife, his position as the crown prince might not be secure.What a calculation.

Zheng Jun hurriedly stopped him, "Your Highness, don't rush to kill him, this assassin is just a murderer, there must be a mastermind behind him, killing him is a cover for the mastermind, why don't you interrogate him, so as to find out the real culprit. "

The prince thought for a while, "Okay, then press it down, take it back to the prison, and we must find out the result."

The prince went back to the palace with the ruler, while strengthening his guard, while he was preparing to write a letter in the study. He is the prince of a country, and there is no way to hide the assassination of the princess in Shanglin Garden, although he thought it was an assassination at first He, but then that sword completely exposed the assassin's purpose.But Zheng Jun has only been married to him for a long time, and he is not a wealthy family with enemies, so why did he target her? Is it really only targeting her?

The pair of questions made the prince not know where to start to investigate, and he could only hope to get some news from the assassin.

I was thinking how to check here, but two hours later, a guest came to Chen Meiren's place in the capital, and it was in the middle of the night, but Chen Meiren's here was burning candles in the bedroom, and she didn't seem to have fallen asleep at all.

A court lady walked in, "Your Majesty, Feng Shunchang is here."

After a while, a person dressed as a court lady who intentionally made himself unremarkable came in and raised his cloak. It was indeed Feng Shunchang.

"How is it? Any news?" Feng Shunchang asked before sitting down.

"The news from Shanglinyuan just arrived. I missed it. The Crown Princess suffered a slight injury to her arm. I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it again after this time." Chen Meiren also frowned tightly, her pretty face stiff. Life is covered by melancholy.

Feng Shunchang smiled wryly, "What should I do? My lord's goal will not be achieved by this mistake, and the two of us will suffer again. What did the person in charge do? It was agreed that he was seriously injured, but the result was only an arm injury. How can we explain it? .”

"How to explain? I also want to know how to explain. Although we have entered the harem, we are just pawns of that person. Now the matter is entrusted to us, but we can't get it done. We can only tell that lord first." Chen The beauty picked up the tea and drank it. She didn't even feel that the tea was cold.

After a while, a little eunuch came in.

Chen Meiren immediately stood up, "How about it, what do you say, my lord?"

The father-in-law frowned and said, "Your Excellency is very dissatisfied. It has been a few days since the plan to assassinate the Crown Princess was made to cover up the assassination of the Crown Prince. In order to occupy a place for the young lady, the Crown Princess can only be injured but not killed. Are you I don't know what your lord wants. My lord let your people do it because I was afraid of being traced. But not only did this person miss, but he was also arrested. If he goes to the sky prison, there's nothing he can do about it. My lord said, this time he made a move. I help you once, and it will be the same next time. You don’t have to live a rich life in this palace. Beauty Chen, don’t forget, if your lord doesn’t help you, in the future when the emperor is gone, you may only be able to live a life of comparison. Life is not as good as a court lady. Feng Shunchang, your father and brother in your family are still counting on you to be promoted and make a fortune. If the young lady succeeds in becoming a crown princess, a lady in the harem will not treat you badly in the future, so you can do it yourself."

They were obviously just palace people, and they spoke so impolitely, but the two of them didn't feel the slightest bit, they just looked preoccupied. "It seems that we can only wait for the Crown Princess to return to the palace, and start attacking in this palace."

Feng Shunchang smiled wryly, "It's not that simple. Although the Crown Princess was just a member of the family and was not from a family background, her style of behavior may not even be able to reach the level of a young lady. It's only been a few days since they got married. To the outside world, Chenghuiyuan is almost Even the East Palace, which was like a sieve, was surrounded by a layer of iron sheets, and the nails in various places were almost clear, except for a few very secret ones, almost all of them were loyal to the prince and princess. We princes and concubines can only take charge of one-third of an acre of land. I can still come out at such a late hour, all because the people at the corner door are adults. When the princess returns to the palace, it will be even more difficult to start. Disaster."

Chen Meiren sighed, "After getting on this boat, how can I get off? It's difficult, but I have to do it. Who told me that this is Yongxiang? This is an invisible battlefield. You and I are just pawns. There are still loopholes in the East Palace." What's more, the Crown Princess can't come out in her Chenghui Courtyard? No matter how bad it is, use those Baolins to do some tricks as usual, even if it's not injured, hurt her reputation, or ruined the Crown Prince's love for her, There is always a way to abolish her. Only in this way can you and I have a good end, otherwise, the end we send to the assassin will be our end."

Feng Shunchang looked at the sky, "Okay, I have to go back, I don't want to stay too late, tomorrow the prince and princess will return to the palace, there may be another storm, I have to go back and get ready."

"Go."

Feng Shunchang wore a cloak and returned to the East Palace through the night.

Early the next morning, Zhengjun and the crown prince just got up, they couldn't hide their haggardness because of what happened last night.At this time, a servant brought by the crown prince hurried in, "Your Highness."

"What's the matter, tell me." The prince was a little displeased, he hadn't eaten the meal yet, why something happened.

"That assassin, that assassin, is dead." The crown prince and Zhengjun were startled, and immediately stood up.

The prince's eyes widened. "Dead? You said he was dead. How did he die?"

The servant lowered his head, "Your Highness, the assassin died of poisoning, and the death condition is quite miserable."

The ruler supported the prince, "Your Highness, in any case, we must not delay the court meeting. The matter of the assassin should be discussed with the emperor after the court, so that the emperor can see that His Highness values ​​people's livelihood more than himself. It is necessary to investigate secretly. If the whole court knows about it, the emperor will definitely give an explanation to his highness, but if assassins enter the royal palace, wouldn't it be embarrassing to the emperor. It's okay to simply serve concubines, and your highness doesn't have to worry. The top priority is to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes, but the assassin is dead, so we can only let the officials in the capital to investigate, as it concerns the safety of the royal family, the emperor will definitely investigate clearly."

When the prince thought about it, it was indeed the case. No matter how wise his father was, he still cared about face. How could such a matter be brought to light, unless it had been investigated clearly.What's more, it can still be said to assassinate the prince, but not to assassinate the prince, but only to assassinate the princess. This is very strange to say, let alone can not be explained.

Thinking about it again, the ruler has suffered such a serious injury. A daughter's family, whose arm was injured, did not forget to think about him. If he didn't, he would go back and report like this. The other brothers went into the water.

It's true that the emperor dotes on his son the most, but it doesn't mean that the other princes have no feelings at all. They keep their own blood anyway. The emperor absolutely can't see the situation of fratricide, so even if he has no feelings for these brothers, On the bright side, at least they are brothers and sisters.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that the princess chose him because he has a good vision, and the more satisfied and gentle the look in the eyes of the prince.

"Okay, let's do what the princess said, and don't make any more mistakes." The servant ordered to retreat, and when there was only Yun Shu in the room, he signaled Yun Shu to wait at the door.

The prince was a little surprised, "Why did you let Yunshu go out?"

Zheng Jun said, "Because it is inconvenient for outsiders to know what the concubine wants to say, no matter how Yun Shu is the concubine's personal maid, it is not easy for them to know some important matters."

"Oh? What's going on." The prince paid more attention.

Zhengjun frowned, looking worried, which made the prince feel that there must be something very important, otherwise the princess would never show such an expression, "Your Highness, assassins can enter Shanglin Garden, and the guards in Shanglin Garden are full of loopholes." , If someone is caught, he can be poisoned to death in a prison without anyone knowing it. Doesn’t His Highness think this is quite strange? There are many nails in His Highness’s East Palace, and some nails are located too critically, and the concubines can’t deal with them clearly, so they can only pull them out bit by bit. The defense, I'm afraid I have to sort it out again."

The prince was shocked, "Is it really this serious?"

Zhengjun nodded, and the prince's face suddenly became very ugly. He is conservative, but not stupid. It's not that he doesn't know that there are nails in the East Palace, but one is that he never thought about it being so serious, and the other is that he feels that there is no nail in his important position. Yes, but if the outside is full of nails, isn’t it true that your diet, daily life, and writing are no secrets?If he, the crown prince of a country, had no secrets in the eyes of outsiders, what would his father think of him?inability?

The prince closed his eyes and took a deep breath. It seems that he was too self-righteous in the past. No wonder he couldn't protect Sima Liangdi so that she would be plotted to be weak and die. Could it be that he finally met a wife he liked but couldn't protect her? Then he is not a prince in vain.

"Check it out. After you go back, do a thorough investigation secretly. If you find out, don't disturb them. Report the list to me, one by one, and arrange a place for them alone."

"Yes, my concubine understands." Zhengjun pursed his lips and smiled, but there was a bit of truth in this smile, maybe she didn't even know it.
