After a storm, the danger was finally averted.
Since that day, the gate of Prince Zhenning's Mansion has been tightly closed, and the guards at the gate have been replaced by palace guards. All the officials in the court were talking about it. They don't know what happened to the popular Prince Zhenning. The emperor became angry and banned him for a month. This incident caused quite a stir in the court.
As the new year approaches, the queen feels deeply that things have not been going well for her recently. Taking this as an excuse, she specially requested an order from the emperor, chose an auspicious day, and went to Foguang Temple to ask Master Huiguang to pray for good luck and ensure peace.
Early morning on the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month.
In the large and luxurious carriage, the Queen was sitting in the middle. Also traveling with her were Princess Zhaohua Yang Xuan, Princess Mingxi Su Li, and Princess Regent Li Yao. Hundreds of imperial guards cheered in front of and behind, and the mighty guard of honor for blessings slowly started in front of the palace gate and drove all the way towards Fushan Foguang Temple.
"Shengguo is indeed a land of outstanding people, and even the scenery in winter is unique and moving." Along the way, Yang Xuan looked at the scenery of distant mountains through the car window from time to time, her eyes filled with envy, thinking of Bianguo when the vegetation withers and turns yellow in winter. Everything you see is desolate, and you can’t help but sigh.
.
The queen smiled and said: "The territory of Sheng Kingdom is full of famous mountains and rivers, all with their own characteristics. The four seasons change, and the scenery is naturally different. If the princess wants to see it, she can't finish it in a year and a half. It's better... just stay and don't leave. It’s a good idea to be my companion.”
Yang Xuan naturally understood the meaning of her words. She rolled her eyes and smiled, "I think so, but... I still have to let nature take its course. By the way, I heard that King Jing'an is coming with us. Why don't you see him?"
Hearing Dongfang Zhuo's name, Li Yao's eyes flashed slightly, but she said nothing. She became very silent, as quiet as if she didn't exist, and the slight sadness between her eyebrows seemed to never go away.
The Queen smiled and said: "He does have such a filial piety. Now His Majesty is busy with political affairs and needs help around him. I didn't ask him to come." As she said that, she glanced at Su Li seemingly unintentionally.
Su Li looked calm, as if unaware, but her heart felt cold. Given the current situation, Dongfangze had angered the emperor and was banned for a month. Naturally, the queen would not miss the opportunity to show Dongfang Zhuo in front of the emperor. Recalling that day, the Queen's eyes were clearly filled with unwillingness, like a lingering shadow in her heart, which made her feel a little heavier inexplicably.
After walking for more than half a day, they had entered the boundary of Fushan. The advancing team slowly stopped for unknown reasons.
The curtains of the carriage were raised, and not far ahead, a huge boulder about half a man's height blocked the road, making it impossible for the carriage to pass. All the guards stepped forward and pushed hard.
But at this moment, a whooshing sound suddenly came from the quiet air, with a fierce and evil aura. Su Li's heart trembled, and he quickly lifted the car curtain, only to see arrows densely packed like rain in the mid-air. , like a black cloud, shooting toward the group of guards like an overwhelming force!
Everyone exclaimed and retreated in all directions, drawing their swords to block it. However, the arrow rain came so fast and fierce that they were hit before they had time to dodge. For a moment, blood splattered like rain outside the carriage, a fishy smell filled the nose, and screams were heard, which was frightening.
On the cliff, a dozen masked men in black suddenly jumped down, carrying a fierce aura that reached the sky, and quickly joined the remaining guards in a massacre. Everything happened so suddenly that it was impossible to react.
The queen seemed stunned, her mouth open and speechless. Li Yao's little face turned pale, and her body was stiff and motionless.
Su Li's expression changed several times, and she shouted decisively in a deep voice: "Quick! Turn around and leave!"
The driver quickly obeyed the order and immediately turned the car around and sped away in the direction from which he came.
.
Not far away, several masked men in black ran out of the dense forest beside the official road and blocked the road. Apparently, they had set up an ambush here. The last dozen guards accompanying the carriage rushed forward without saying a word, brandishing their swords.
At this time, a sharp arrow shot through the air, carrying the breath of death, and instantly penetrated the driver's throat! His body immediately leaned back and fell into the carriage. Li Yao and the Queen screamed in surprise, and the strong smell of blood quickly filled the carriage.
Su Li and Yang Xuan frowned at the same time, but their faces were still calm.
These masked men are obviously life-killing killers who are skilled in this art. Every move has no fancy. Even with a small number and a large number of battles, they are still not weak. In a short time, they have killed several guards, and the remaining few are step by step. He retreated, obviously at a disadvantage.
Su Li frowned, and the hidden weapon in her sleeve slipped silently into her palm, just waiting for the opportunity to wave it out.
Such a fierce offensive and excellent cooperation seem to have never been seen in the world except Shen Men!
Su Li stared at the killer's movements intently, and the more she watched, the more her heart sank. As the leader of the Shen Clan, she could definitely be sure that these people were not from the Shen Clan!
The queen squeezed Li Yao's hands tightly, unaware of the strength in her hands, which was so strong that her delicate jade-white skin turned blue. She saw a killer split open the guard in front of her, flew up, and let out a clear whistle. , rushing straight towards the carriage! She couldn't help shouting in a trembling voice: "He, he's coming to kill me!"
There is no way to escape from both front and rear, and the situation is extremely critical!
A sharp light flashed in Su Li's eyes, and she was about to take action, but Yang Xuan was one step ahead of her, kicked the body away, and rushed out. She stood in front of the car without fear, wearing a fiery red dress and her black hair tied high. Flying gently in the air, eyes as bright as stars were dancing with high-spirited fighting spirit. The soft whip wrapped around his waist was already in his hand, and he waved his arm vigorously without hesitation, sweeping across the air with thunderous momentum!
The killer didn't seem to expect that there was such a master in the carriage, and was shocked. Su Li stood still at this time, quietly observing Yang Xuan's every move. It was extremely rare for people to use long whips as weapons. Unless they had deep internal strength, it would be difficult to control them. Unexpectedly, Yang Xuan, at such a young age, could have such a fierce offensive, which shows that his martial arts skills are quite good!
The killer was in the air, so he had to twist and dodge, barely avoiding the blow, but his clothes were torn by the strong wind brought by the tip of the whip.
! A trace of blood was immediately swept out of the skin!
Yang Xuan's eyes flashed and she looked at him with a smile, "How about it, does it taste good?"
Su Li was slightly startled by the familiar words.
The killer landed on the ground and suddenly felt the unbearable burning pain in his skin. He felt frightened and angry. When he lowered his head, he saw that the edges of the damaged skin were swollen and black! That whip actually tempered the poison! He couldn't help but stare into the carriage. His eyes under the black cloth mask suddenly became ferocious. He said sternly: "Look for the old man in the carriage!" He was obviously the leader. Several guards who were besieged at this moment were already there. They all fell into a pool of blood. After hearing the order, this group of killers immediately pounced on them.
Su Li frowned. After hearing these words, these killers are actually coming for the queen? Who was so bold as to ambush and assassinate the current queen? !
The queen trembled when she heard this, her face turned pale, and she was obviously frightened. She hugged Li Yao tightly and tried to maintain her composure.
Yang Xuan sneered and replied proudly: "Then you have to ask the whip in my princess's hand. Do you agree?" The smile on her lips faded, her pretty face was frosty, and the shadow of the whip danced rapidly, crackling in the air. She blocked it all by herself and danced the whip until it was airtight. The killers were always kept at a fixed distance and could not get close.
The leader of the men in black looked up and saw that the guards on the other side of the boulder had broken through the siege and surrounded the place. He suddenly felt anxious and immediately waved his hand to retreat, but it was already too late.
"You want to leave, how can it be so cheap? I haven't had enough fun yet!" Seeing the other party's intention, Yang Xuan sneered, swept the shadow of the whip, and went straight to the head of the leader of the man in black, flicking the end of his braid, His hair was caught in the bun, and his body was lifted up in the air, and then he was dragged to the ground by a strong force!
Several sharp sword blades were pressed against his throat, and he could no longer move.
"Tell me! Who gave you the order to assassinate the Queen?" Yang Xuan shouted sternly. The majesty he exuded at that moment was not inferior to that of the man.
The leader of the man in black closed his eyes and didn't answer. He moved his lips slightly, and the Yangxuan leather whip came up again and fell hard on his cheek. His teeth and poison pills rolled out together with blood.
The black cloth covering his face was swept away, revealing an angry and resentful face. Yang Xuan was slightly startled. This person seemed to have been seen somewhere before.
Su Li in the carriage was stunned when she saw this person. Although she didn't know his name, she was 100% sure that he was one of Dongfangze's armored black riders.
! A gust of cold wind suddenly blew by, and Su Li felt cold all over her body, and a little bit of coldness came on her face. She looked up, and she didn't know when snowflakes were floating in the sky.
On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the queen was traveling and was ambushed and assassinated. One of the assassins was captured. It was confirmed that this person belonged to the armored black cavalry of King Zhenning Dongfangze. He confessed in court that the assassination was ordered by King Zhenning.
The emperor was so furious when he heard this that he even ordered his former most proud son to be thrown into a secret prison that most people would rather die than enter! This incident shocked both the government and the public and caused a lot of discussion.
From having unlimited glory to being confined in the royal palace, and now becoming a prisoner, in just a few days, the world of Dongfangze, the sixth prince who was once favored by the emperor and was only one step away from becoming the crown prince, has changed and the world has been turned upside down.
On the day he was imprisoned, a strong wind blew through the streets and alleys of Kyoto. People realized that the storm was coming, so they all tightened their clothes and stayed at home, afraid to go out.
The streets were deserted. Only Su Li's thin body stood far away at the corner of the street, silently watching the man's desolate and lonely figure being ruthlessly taken away by the imperial guards.
She leaned against the cold wall, the cold wind whistling in her ears pouring straight into her heart. She remained motionless and pursed her lips tightly. Maybe everyone in the world believed that the killer was sent by him, but she would never believe it. Dongfang Ze is not such a stupid person!
However, now that I have no evidence, it is useless to say anything. In this country, the fate of everyone depends only on the emperor's words. Her father was like this, and so was Dongfangze.
In the afternoon of that day, Su Xiangru, Liang Shichu and others wrote desperately, stating the pros and cons and doubts, and demanding a thorough investigation. The emperor thought about it again and again, and finally ordered the Regent Li Fengxian, Prime Minister Su Xiangru and General Zhan Wuji to conduct an interrogation to find out the truth as soon as possible!
The next day, news suddenly came from the palace that Yun Shi, the deposed concubine of the harem, died suddenly. It was rumored that she was poisoned after eating a cake sent by Princess Mingxi. Various signs indicate that it is most likely Su Li, the princess of Mingxi County, who was so angry and resentful because the Yun family harmed Prince Zhenning Dongfang Ze that she killed the Yun family by any means possible. Since there was no conclusive evidence, the queen ordered Su Li to be placed under house arrest in the inner garden of the princess's mansion.
For a time, the government and the public were in an uproar, and everyone sighed and sighed. In everyone's eyes, Prince Zhenning and Princess Mingxi, who were once popular in Shengdu and envied by countless people, have fallen to the bottom of their lives.
Many people think that this is their ending...
