Before he could bandage the wound, there was a sound of footsteps outside the palace door. Xing Fang led two guards into the palace. One of the guards was holding a person in his hand. The person kept twisting his body, trying to get away. The guards' attempts to restrain him were in vain.
These two guards are not ordinary guards in the palace, but masters transferred by Xing Fang from Prince Jing's Mansion. Their skills are among the best in the world.
She was a middle-aged woman with an unwilling and fierce look on her face. She was thrown hard in front of Xia Yuanqiu by the guard: "Be honest."
Before Xia Yuanqiu had time to ask, the woman smiled strangely, flicked her fingers, and a cluster of white powder flew out from her fingers. All the white powder fell into her mouth, but before she could count her breath, the woman The person bleeds from his seven orifices and dies.
Xia Yuanqiu threw away his hands and sighed: "Take her away. Such a person has made up her mind to die. Even if she survives, it is meaningless. She will not say anything. She wants to die, just to get less punishment."
The woman was dragged down, and the palace maid was also taken to the heavenly prison. After this incident, Xia Yuanqiu felt that there were still many hidden dangers in this palace. Some people were clever and sent by the enemy, and some were sent by the enemy. Poison confuses the mind, but no matter what kind, if the response is not timely, it will bring unpredictable consequences.
From now on, Xia Yuanqiu ordered people to surround the entire hall. Anyone who enters or approaches must be searched first. If anything suspicious is found on the body, the guards have the power to kill first and report later.
But she didn't expect that just as the matter of guarding against spies had been dealt with here, unexpected troubles had occurred on the other side.
The next morning, Xing Fang hurried in and woke up Xia Yuanqiu who was resting on the table.
"You are so panicked, but what happened?" Xia Yuanqiu asked hurriedly.
Xing Fang gritted her teeth and said: "These hateful dog officials actually surrounded the outside of the palace, demanding that the regent be appointed to keep a woman like you away from the palace." The young lady guarded the emperor day and night, fearing that something might happen to the emperor, and also distracted from external worries. What did these dog officials do? I know that shouting all day long is useless.
Xia Yuanqiu sighed: "I also said that these two days have been so calm. This should come, and it will come. Let them come in. I will meet them well today!" Old King Rong colluded with Beiming Kingdom Collusion doesn't happen in a day or two. They can't simply poison and get a killer in this capital. They can infiltrate spies in this palace, let alone the officialdom.
Under the eunuch's announcement, a group of officials filed in, led by Han Jiao's father, Mr. Han.
Master Han's eyes quickly moved around the hall. Seeing that the emperor was indeed lying in bed and unconscious as rumored, and there was no trace of Prince Jing in the hall, an imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth involuntarily.
Although it was not easy to detect, Xia Yuanqiu, who was very attentive, caught him.
His expression is not normal. If he is truly a patriotic minister, shouldn't he frown and sigh when he sees the situation in front of him? How could it be a snicker
The expressions of the ministers behind Mr. Han varied. Some looked grave, while others looked like they had nothing to do with themselves and were just here to make fun of themselves.
Master Han did not salute Xia Yuanqiu, but said bluntly: "Isn't it against the rules for Princess Jing to stay in the palace for a long time?"
