When Yun Fenghuang first heard the news, he couldn't believe his ears: "What did you say? Who was assassinated? What was the result?!"
Chen Jing said cautiously: "Returning to your Majesty, Uncle Zhaowu was assassinated when he was patrolling the army. The assassin was very skilled in martial arts and ruthless. Fortunately, the guards accompanying him tried their best to stop him. Among them, the deputy general Qi... Qi Jiulu used his body as a shield and finally protected Uncle Zhaowu from being assassinated. The pursuit continued, and now both of them are unconscious!"
To be honest, when he heard the news, he thought it was good news.
After all, everyone knows that the Queen's greatest support is Zhaowu Uncle Gu Fangshu.
As a result, Gu Fangshu doesn't even know if he can earn another life. Is this not good news for Xuanqing Palace
But as an old man in front of the imperial concubine, who doesn't know about the entanglement between the imperial concubine and Qi Jiulu
Even if the imperial concubine kept saying that she was just her ex-fiancé, they had already broken up and had nothing to do with each other anymore...
The noble concubine dares to say this, but as a servant, who dares to believe it
In particular, when the Xie family was destroyed last year, someone pretended to be the Xie family and asked to see the imperial concubine. As a confidant who helped arrange the meeting at that time, Chen Jing knew that that person... was sent by Qi Jiulu.
The ex-fiancé, who was already married and had a daughter, secretly sent someone to the imperial capital under those circumstances, and the concubine actually saw her. What does this mean
Chen Jing didn't dare to guess or think.
At this moment, he silently imagined that he was just a stone without any emotion, without sorrow or joy, and he only reported in a straight tone: "The assassin has been quartered on the spot. According to the investigation of the Imperial City Division, he is suspected to be the remnant of the regent."
"The remnants of the Regent..." Yun Fenghuang looked gloomy, and after a moment, he sneered, "No, this is impossible. If the Regent has such talents, why do we take action now? When Jingninghou's army is out, Wei He Wouldn't it be more effective to assassinate Uncle Zhaowu before it is destroyed?"
Chen Jing whispered: "Madam, it is said that the assassin has been dormant in the army before, and even got the position of captain. Otherwise, he would not be qualified to get close to Uncle Zhaowu. He has his own camp. Later, the camp was searched and his suicide note was found. …”
According to the description in the suicide note, the assassin had been subdued by the regent for some time, and he was not used to deal with Uncle Zhaowu.
On the contrary, the fact that he was so skilled and hidden in the army was because the regent had fought to the death with the Ji family purely because of the intimidation of the Dingbei Army, or Gu Fangshu.
Therefore, this person was specially arranged to protect Uncle Zhaowu's safety.
However, fate played a trick on people. After more than ten years, the regent failed to ascend the throne as he wished, and was abandoned by the Gu family.
After that, the regent had no time to attend to matters in the temple and never gave any instructions to the assassin.
The assassin, on the other hand, felt deep hatred, especially after the death of the regent and his wife. The assassin did not believe the court's conclusion at all, and concluded that the regent and his wife were framed.
And the culprit…
He couldn't even get in touch with the person who really made him suspicious, let alone avenge his benefactor with his own hands.
So he thought about it and thought that in the final analysis, Gu could not escape the blame.
If they had not fallen to Chunjia at the critical moment, the regent would not have been so defeated that he died in a daze and had no ability to fight back.
The person who made the decision to join Chunjia in the first place was of course Mr. Gu.
However, since the assassin was in the army, it was inconvenient for him to go to the Imperial Capital to ask for Mr. Gu's life. The second reason was that Mr. Gu was old and it would not be worthwhile to kill him.
What's more, as we all know, the core of the Gu family is Gu Fangshu.
Therefore, the assassin decided to assassinate Zhaowu Bo to repay the regent for his kindness.
The reason why he did not choose to attack at the time mentioned by Yun Fenghuang was not because he had no chance, but because the assassin said that he was also a son of the Han family. He was loyal to avenge the regent, but he could not bear to cause the front line to be defeated and endanger the soldiers. common people.
No, he waited until Wei He was pacified and saw that Uncle Zhaowu was no longer needed on the border for a short time before he made his move.
"..." Yun Fenghuang was speechless for a long time, and then asked for a moment, "How is Uncle Zhaowu doing now? Although the assassin attacked suddenly, he is still a military commander in his family. Why does he need others to protect him with his body? "
Thinking of the fish-and-meat village that the Ke family had staged a few days ago, I frowned slightly, "Could it be that it was directed and acted by oneself?"
"Mother, it shouldn't be." Chen Jing whispered, "Because I heard that one of the assassins attacked suddenly, and the second one was that the blade in the assassin's hand was highly poisonous. In fact... Uncle Zhaowu..."
He thought about it, and then boldly added, "...and Vice General Qi, their injuries are not serious. Now they are dying, mainly because of the serious poisoning."
So is Qi Jiulu stupid
Yun Fenghuang was upset and thought to himself: "Gu Fangshu's identity means that he doesn't have personal guards by his side! His personal guards didn't help block the knife, what are you doing up there?!"
If this person survives, the reward will certainly be considerable.
But if you don't survive, then...
She composed herself, tried hard not to think too much, and said in a deep voice: "I understand, I really didn't expect that something like this would happen under such circumstances."
He ordered his left and right people to dress him up and go to the Queen to express his condolences.
At this moment, both the master and the servant thought about the scene when the news of the Xie family's demise came and the middle palace quickly rushed to the Huanhua Palace and pretended to comfort Yun Fenghuang.
Gu Zhen's comfort that time made Yun Fenghuang lie down for several days before he recovered.
How could you miss such an opportunity now
Yun Fenghuang rushed to the queen's carriage, but was stopped by the palace servants, who said that the queen was worried about Uncle Zhaowu and was in a mess and did not want to see the concubines.
She looked around and saw that Concubine Shu, Concubine De, and other concubines who had arrived earlier were also there. They had received the news and wanted to visit the queen, but were blocked.
Originally, these people were about to disperse, and when they saw the imperial concubine, they naturally wanted to come over to say hello.
Yun Fenghuang excused herself, and Concubine De came over and said, "Sister, are you here to see the Empress too? Oh, I really didn't expect this... The Empress must hold on."
Having said that, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth, obviously unable to hold back her gloating.
Also, she was depressed two days ago because Gu Fangshu was about to receive a reward from the emperor. Now whether Gu Fangshu could survive was a question!
As long as Gu Fangshu is cold, the Gu family will be useless!
Even if sorrow and glory are added to the body, so what
When the time comes, it's hard to say whether the two direct princes in front of Gu Zhen, even if they are appointed crown princes by Chun Jia, can secure their positions!
Yun Fenghuang glanced at her, without moving his expression, and said slowly: "Of course I came to see the Queen. Didn't the Queen see you either? Who was the first to come? Did you see the Queen?"
Concubine Shu whispered from the side: "I am so close that I came first."
In fact, on the way back to Miyagi, the concubine's carriages were arranged according to status.
The imperial concubine was even closer than she was, but Yun Fenghuang was not really worried about the empress. He even took care of his appearance before coming out, but fell behind her.
At this moment, Concubine Shu said: "When I came, I heard the queen crying inside, so I didn't dare to disturb her. After waiting for a while, someone from the palace came out and said that it was my intention. The queen understood it, but now Qian Qian I am confused and have no intention of seeing guests. Let me go back first."
Concubine De said: "When my sister came, I heard the palace maid talking to Concubine Shu."
"I understand." Yun Fenghuang nodded, walked forward, and asked the maid waiting outside the carriage, "How is the Queen doing now?"
The palace maid persuaded many concubines to leave. To be honest, she was a little annoyed. However, it was the imperial concubine who asked the question, but she did not dare to make a mistake. She quickly and cautiously said: "Returning to the imperial concubine, my wife just..."
"Don't talk about what you just said." The imperial concubine interrupted her unhappily, "It's been like this for a while, how do you know how the Queen is doing right now? Just go in and take a look, you don't have to worry so many people in this palace!"
The palace maid smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen is very confused right now and doesn't want to be disturbed."
"Why do I want to disturb the Queen?" Yun Fenghuang sneered in his heart. Want to be alone
Beautiful thought!
Back then, my large family was wiped out in ashes, and many of my childish blood relatives were still ignorant and died at the hands of their clansmen... The middle palace did not leave her alone!
Now everyone in the Gu family is fine, but Uncle Zhaowu is in trouble alone. If he is even lucky, will he be able to survive
The queen wants to be alone
Why? !
The imperial concubine said calmly, "But the empress had been ill several times because of Uncle Zhaowu, and she didn't even have time to worry about palace affairs at that time. Now that I hear such bad news again... I am worried that the empress will not be able to bear it. So you It’s better to go in and take a look first, if there’s anything wrong, it’s better to call the imperial doctor as soon as possible.”
What she said made sense to the palace maid, but she hesitated a little when she thought that the queen had just told no one to go in and disturb her: "Replying to the imperial concubine, the queen said..."
"Bastard!" Who would have known that the concubine who had just been so kind and concerned about the queen suddenly shouted, "I broke up with you and tried to reason with you, but you still hesitate and deliberately shirk the blame!? I see, you have ulterior motives and are deliberately trying to harm the Empress! That’s right, since the remnants of the Regent can hide in front of Uncle Zhaowu and look for opportunities to assassinate him, how can you let the Empress go?! Are you also the remnant of the Regent, who deliberately Are you plotting to murder the Queen here!?"
The palace maid couldn't help but be horrified when she heard this accusation, and wanted to argue: "Your Majesty, please speak carefully, my maid..."
But the imperial concubine didn't give her a chance to explain. With a flick of her sleeves, she asked Chen Jing to take him down. She covered her mouth on the spot, and then ordered someone to forcefully open the door of the Feng Che!
Royal travel is naturally extraordinary.
Chunjia's imperial chariot occupies an area like a rather spacious house, with several rooms divided into it, where small court meetings can even be held temporarily.
As for the queen's palace, although it is a lot smaller than the imperial chariot, it is also made with exquisite workmanship. When the doors and windows are closed, no sound can be heard from inside or outside.
The queen, who wanted to be alone and quiet, naturally ordered the windows and doors to be closed tightly. At this moment, she heard the door being smashed open with force. She was startled and stood up from the couch. She saw Chen Jing holding a sledgehammer giving up his seat, revealing the figure of the imperial concubine. His expression changed: "Concubine Min, what do you mean?!"
"Empress!" Gu Zhen was shocked and angry at this moment. He thought that his father's life and death were uncertain, and the emperor was going to turn his back on him. Who knew that the imperial concubine's eyes were a little cold at first when she looked at her.
But in an instant, she turned into a very concerned look, breathed a sigh of relief, and even reached out to pat her chest, "The Queen is fine, we can finally rest assured!"
She said something behind her, and then she heard many people echoing in unison, all saying things like "It's okay, it's okay," "This is really great," and "I'm so worried about you." Class words.
The queen was filled with doubts and subconsciously turned over to sit up and said in a deep voice: "What's going on with you?!"
