Yan Li: "One of the culprits was murdered at Nanxun Gate. Let's go and see together. Maybe the imperial concubine recognizes it, but I don't know."
Rong Changan also wanted to see who killed Zhang Jiuge. If she knew, she would avenge Zhang Jiuge.
Yan Li stood up, turned his back, but observed Rong Changan from the corner of his eye: "I have some information about that murderer..."
Rong Changan hurriedly asked, "What information?"
Yan Li: "For example, the murderer is a castrated eunuch..."
what!
Rong Changan jumped up: Could it be that Eunuch Fan killed Brother Zhang Jiu and Aunt Wang? But she immediately regretted that she was too excited, and would be suspected by Yan Li!
However, it seemed like a god-given opportunity for her to find an excuse for her impulsiveness just now.
Just when she stood up, she suddenly saw a light in the teacup, it was neither the moon nor a lantern, what was it
Rong Changan suddenly reached out to pick up the teacup, and threw it vigorously at the algae roof of the pavilion; at the same time, she shouted: "Be careful, Your Majesty!" She flew over and threw herself on Yan Li.
With a bang, the teacup was smashed to the ground by a big knife, and the pieces fell to the ground. At this time, a black bird-like figure flew to the ground, covering his face, only revealing a pair of radiant and fierce eyes, and the big knife in his hand was shining brightly. If Rong Changan hadn't jumped up excitedly just now, the assassin would not have revealed his blade for Rong Changan to notice.
At the same time as he fell, the big knife was swung out, piercing Rong Chang'an's heart.
One of the swords was too fast, and Rong Changan was trying to protect Yan Li, so he didn't dodge it, and the knife tip pierced Rong Changan's heart in a flash.
However, Rong Changan clasped his hands together and clamped the knife. Fortunately, the tip of the knife did not penetrate very deep, but Rong Changan had already shed blood, which stained the white clothes outside.
"Concubine Snow!"
Seeing that she had been stabbed, Yan Li swung his palm and hit the opponent's shoulder with a bang. The assassin staggered back and hit the pillar of the pavilion. With a bang, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Yan Li was eager to protect Rong Chang'an, so he struck out with great force. If it wasn't for the assassin's strong inner strength, Yan Li would have shattered his collarbone long ago.
The assassin was extremely ferocious, he drew a lotus flower with his right hand, and stabbed him again with the big knife.
"Go to hell, bitch!"
The tip of the knife pierced the air, making a whining sound.
Eunuch Lu was so frightened that he couldn't move his legs. He could only shout, "Someone is here! Someone is here! There is an assassin!"
The internal guards are far away, so it is difficult to protect Yan Li and Rong Chang'an in an instant.
After slapping his palm, Yan Li hugged Rong Changan: "Xue'er, you..."
A cold light passed over Rong Changan's delicate face.
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
Rong Changan wanted to draw out his soft sword, but he was afraid of being discovered by Yan Li, so he had no choice but to go forward with his bare hands and fight the assassin with a big knife.
As soon as she swung her left palm, she felt unbearable pain. The palm strength reached halfway, not only the speed, but also the strength.
The assassin didn't stab Rong Changan to death just now, and he was very annoyed in his heart. Seeing that Rong Changan's hand was weakening, he became happy again, and his eyes revealed a gloomy look: "I think it's your palm that is stronger, or my steel knife!"
With a few whirring sounds, the assassin slashed Rong Chang'an several times. Fortunately, Rong Chang'an dodged in time, and just dodged the opponent's extremely fierce knife force.
How could Yan Li see that Rong Changan was injured for himself!
He picked up the teapot on the table and hit the assassin. The assassin chopped the teapot with a knife, and with a bang, the hot tea splashed on the opponent's face, and the assassin screamed.
"It's hot! My face!"
At this time, the inner guard outside the pavilion had already entered, holding a shining sword in his hand. Even though the assassin hated Changan and Yan Li very much, he didn't dare to make further assassinations in front of so many inner guards. Gritting his teeth, he said with hatred:
"You wait, I will come to you again!"
With a flash, he flew out of the pavilion. From the high platform, there is only one ladder to walk on. The assassin insisted on cutting a bloody path with the big knife in his hand, ran down the high platform, and disappeared in the night.
Yan Li originally wanted the inner guards to follow him, but when he looked at the stairs, there were bloodstains everywhere, and there were mourning inner guards everywhere, Yan Li only realized at this time, how powerful the opponent's martial arts are, the ordinary inner guards are not his at all The opponent, asking the inner guard to chase him, is nothing more than a wolf entering the tiger's mouth.
So he said to Eunuch Lu: "Order the inner guards not to pursue!"
Eunuch Lu was full of confusion: "If you don't chase him, let him run away?"
Yan Li didn't respond to Eunuch Lu any more, and hurried over to see Rong Chang'an. At this time, Rong Chang'an's blood was still flowing out, staining the outer cloak red.
"Xueer, how are you doing?"
Rong Chang'an smiled disapprovingly: "It's just a little flesh injury, it's nothing serious. The emperor was not injured, right?"
I was hurt, but I still cared about whether others were hurt or not, Yan Li's throat was a little choked. Such a good imperial concubine, why do you have to search and verify her identity? As long as she is good to him and the country, it doesn't matter who she is.
Rong Changan noticed Yan Li's ecstasy.
"Your Majesty, what do you think?"
Yan Li said unhappily: "You are obviously injured, and you still say it's okay, I don't like you like this!" Then he said to Eunuch Lu, "Help Concubine Xue down quickly, and go to the Imperial Hospital!"
Eunuch Lu hurriedly called a few young eunuchs: "Are you all deaf, didn't you hear what the emperor said? Come quickly, come quickly, help the noble concubine down!"
After a busy meal, Rong Changan was helped off the high platform and onto the sedan chair.
"Your Majesty, remember to call me when you go to Nanxun Gate tomorrow. I'm going to see who the person who killed my uncle is."
Yan Li could not bear it, if she got hurt, how would she go to Nanxun Gate tomorrow? But he also knew that Xue'er was stubborn and couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to agree. Thinking of his stubborn temper, Yan Li was in a daze again. Wasn't Rong Chang'an also very stubborn in the past
"Don't worry, I will definitely call you tomorrow."
Rong Chang'an got down the curtain of the sedan chair with satisfaction, and a sedan chair with mane clipping babbled away from the back mountain, and entered the palace through Jingyang Gate.
On the second day, it was cloudy again, with a strong wind blowing, Yan Li sent someone to pick up Rong Chang'an early in the morning. Rong Changan came to Yong'an Palace in a sedan chair, and Yan Li came out to see her. Seeing her looking good, he was also happy.
"Concubine, it seems that the knife wound last night didn't hurt you at all."
Seeing that Rong Changan was fine, Yan Li finally relaxed after worrying all night.
Rong Changan saw deep bags under the eyes on Yan Li's face, and there were a lot of bloodshot eyes, and knew that he didn't sleep well last night, it must be because of her injury.
"The emperor didn't sleep last night?"
There is incomparable tenderness in the eyes, and only a lifelong lover can reveal this kind of light.
Yan Xin felt warm, and it was worth the sleepless night.
"I miss you in my heart, how can I fall asleep? If I still snore like thunder, then I have no conscience."
But Rong Changan was very unhappy: "Didn't my concubine tell you last night that I have nothing to do, I just suffered some flesh and blood wounds, like a finger being cut off while cooking, why does the emperor have to spend the whole night for me?" Sleepless? A concubine is really a sin."
Yan Li: "What did you do wrong? Saving Zhengong should be a great achievement."
Rong Changan: "When encountering such a thing, everyone is willing to block a knife for the emperor."
Yan Li: "Not necessarily!"
Rong Chang'an raised his head sharply, seeing Yan Li looking at him with a piercing expression, his heart skipped a beat.
"Your Majesty, I am very flustered when you look at me like that."
Yan Li realized that he had lost his composure, coughed twice and said, "Now we are going to Nanxunmen, is Xue'er ready?"
Rong Chang'an said with a smile: "If the emperor asks me to plow and harrow the fields at this time, I can do it."
Yan Li nodded, and the two got into the car, the car rattled out of the palace, and arrived at Nanxun Gate early.
Many people gathered at the gate, watching the two corpses, one was Li Ming, and the other was Eunuch Fan. Fortunately, in the middle of winter, the corpse did not decompose; if it was left for half a day in midsummer, it would stink to the heavens.
