Luo Qingyan's face was as black as ink: "Send someone out to ask, see if anyone has seen it, where did the signal come from, check!"
"yes."
Yun Shang turned her head and looked at Luo Qingyan: "Anyone with a little brain knows that the chance of a successful assassination in the palace is very slim, but they still want to take risks, I'm afraid they don't really want to kill you I was just probing."
Luo nodded softly: "If you really want our lives and bribed such a few palace people, the chances of successfully poisoning the water we bathe in may be much higher. I just want to know how many people have been left in our palace. Just guards..."
Luo Qingyan turned around and glanced at Yunshang, whose clothes were already soaked, and took the cloak handed over by the palace man and put it on Yunshang: "Put it on first, don't catch a cold, and ask someone to bring water to take a bath again."
Qianzhu hurriedly asked people to bring in hot water, and then the voice of the commander of the imperial guards came from outside: "Your Majesty, I heard that another assassin has been assassinated. How are your majesty and the empress safe?"
Luo Qingyan sneered: "If I wait for you to come to rescue me, I'm afraid the body will be completely cold."
There was a sound of iron armor outside, as if they were kneeling together: "The last general is late to save you, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Yun Chang reached out and took Luo Qingyan's hand: "It's you who didn't let the imperial guards be on duty in the inner hall, and just now we were further inside the sleeping hall, so it's not unusual for the imperial guards to not hear anything. "
The reason is this, and Luo Qingyan naturally knows it, but he also squinted his eyes: "The imperial guards are no different from ordinary guards. Although we were at Tangchi just now, the commotion was not small, and if we have an accident, we will definitely Some palace people shouted, but the imperial guards still didn't come until now, this matter is not normal."
The palace servants had already brought in the water again, Qianzhuo watched the person pour the water in person, left the clean room, and then invited Yunshang in.
Yun Chang washed it casually, changed her clothes and came out, when she heard voices coming from the outer hall.
Yun Chang walked to the gate of the hall, took a few steps outside, and listened carefully.
"The palace man said that he saw a lot of dark shadows, and they were going to the Supreme Palace. The last general hurriedly led a small group of people to check, and just halfway there, he saw the bodies of two palace people lying on the ground. The last general Seeing that the two palace servants were a little red between their brows and faintly dripping blood, they must have been done by masters, so they felt that the matter was serious, so they hurriedly led them over."
"The last general came back and found out about His Majesty's assassination. He asked the guards patrolling near the Tai Chi Hall, and found out that they had also been tricked into diverting the tiger away from the mountain. When he saw a figure flashing by, he hurriedly chased after him."
"It's the last general who has neglected his duty. Please forgive him."
Luo Qingyan's voice was icy cold: "You heard that many black shadows went to the Taishang Palace, the first reaction was not to report to me, but to take people there directly? Heh... leaving without authorization, even such a clumsy transfer of the tiger away from the mountain... It is indeed an unforgivable crime to fall into the trap."
"Thirty army sticks, go and receive them yourself."
"yes."
Luo Qingyan pursed his lips: "Can you hear the sound of someone playing a signal?"
"I heard it. It should be from the southwest of the palace. The exact location needs to be investigated."
Luo Qingyan casually tapped his finger on the table: "Zhen will send someone to investigate carefully, you go down to collect the punishment first."
southwest
Yun Shang secretly went through all the palaces in the southwest of the palace, but she didn't have any clues.
Yun Chang retreated to the inner hall and lay down on the bed with her clothes on.
He fell into a drowsy sleep, only to feel someone lying down next to him.
Yun Chang opened her eyes dimly and took a look: "What time is it?"
"It's almost Yin time."
Yun Chang froze for a moment, feeling that she was a little more awake: "Why is it so late? There is less than an hour, and His Majesty has to get up and go to court?"
"Well, I just finished dealing with the matter." Luo Qingyan raised his hand and patted Yun Shang's back lightly: "It's okay, go to sleep."
Yun Chang closed her eyes obediently, but her mind seemed to become more and more awake, and then she couldn't fall asleep at all.
Yun Shang thought that Luo Qingyan had just rested, and wanted to let him sleep for a while, so she lay down with her eyes closed and did not move, but after a while, she heard Luo Qingyan's voice: "Can't sleep?"
"Yeah." Luo Qingyan had already noticed it, and Yun Shang didn't hide it: "It's okay, I'll lie down for a while, Your Majesty can sleep."
Luo Yan smiled softly: "There has been news from the city."
Yun Chang's body moved slightly: "Since the matter has already happened, there will be no change. It's just a piece of news. It doesn't matter if you know it sooner or later. Your Majesty, let's rest earlier."
Luo Qingyan didn't seem to hear Yun Shang's words at all, and said directly: "The empress is so predictable, Xia Houjing really went to a brothel in the city, and, in the brothel, she ushered in her first poisonous hair."
Yunshang raised his eyes to look at Luo Qingyan, and heard Luo Qingyan continue: "At that time, Xia Houjing should have had a dispute with his party members. Xia Houjing's mood changed, and he suddenly became angry and killed him directly. That person also lifted the table in the house."
"There was a lot of commotion at the time, and the people who were with him probably didn't expect Xia Houjing to make a sudden attack. They were unprepared for a while, and the people in the brothel opened the door and entered. As soon as they saw someone dead in the house , suddenly became noisy."
"There was a lot of screams and noises in the brothel, which made Xia Houjing feel more and more irritable. According to people who witnessed what happened in the brothel but escaped, their eyes changed color when they saw Xia Houjing , red all over, looks very scary. He held a sword in his hand, as if he was mad, he would cut anyone he saw."
"The people in the brothel fled in all directions, and the commotion was not small, and even the city guards patrolling the street were alarmed. Seeing that things were getting out of hand, the people Xia Houjing brought wanted to persuade him to leave, but almost It was only after they died that they realized something was wrong, and they joined forces to knock Xia Houjing unconscious and take him away."
The situation from Luo Qingyan's mouth is almost the same as what Yunshang had expected before.
Yun Chang nodded, and finally couldn't help asking: "How about the casualties in the brothel?"
"Three people died, two of them were Xia Houjing's own people, and the other was a thug in the brothel." Luo Qingyan paused, and then said again: "First offended Xia Houjing, and Xia Houjing was killed by Xia Houjing." The one who was killed was the fifth son of the Cao family, named Cao Jin."
Yun Chang's eyes suddenly lit up, which was something none of them expected, but it was a surprise.
Yun Shang raised the corners of her mouth and laughed: "People from the Cao Mansion? Xia Houjing killed the people from the Cao Mansion? Now, things have become more interesting."
