Chapter 562

"Little brother, something happened to your mother!"

Xiaojingkong looks at huangfuxian anxiously, "don't be sad."

"I'm not sad." Huang Fuxian said calmly.

Small clear space does not understand ground grasps small head, how can not be sad? If something happened to Jiao Jiao, he would be very sad.

Huang Fuxian slowly pulled back the hand that was grasped by the little guy: "maybe they heard wrong, my mother did not have an accident, you go back first."

However, this time Princess Ning'an did have an accident. The place of the accident was in the imperial study. As soon as the news spread, the whole harem was shocked.

Empress Xiao, Zhuang Guifei, Shufei and others went to the imperial study one after another. However, they found that the imperial study was full of guards and no one could enter.

"Can't I enter this palace?" Queen Xiao asked coldly.

The commander of the Imperial Guard, surnamed Fu, gave a salute and said, "we are searching for assassins. For the safety of the queen and your wives, please wait here for a moment."

"How is your majesty?" Asked the lady anxiously.

Commander Fu said, "Your Majesty has evacuated from the back door and returned to Huaqing Palace."

Concubine Zhuang rolled her eyes: "you didn't say that earlier!"

Are they here to catch assassins!

Empress Xiao and her party rushed to Huaqing Palace. Huaqing Palace was surrounded by the guards. Fortunately, there were no assassins and no one stopped empress Xiao.

Zhuang Guifei and Shufei saw that she had gone, and they also ran with her.

Empress Xiao's position is stable. Needless to say, her son is the crown prince, and her elder brother Xuanping is fighting in the South Island.

Concubine Zhuang lost her favor for some time because of King Ning, but she always had a place in the harem as long as the Empress Dowager didn't let her down and the banker didn't dislike her.

Shufei is the same. Her two nephews have just made great achievements in the frontier fortress. She also rises with the water. Who dares to block her way?

The fourth concubine to enter Huaqing Palace is Yu Fei, the birth mother of Rui Wang.

Princess Rui gave birth to a little princess in October last year, which is also a credit to the royal family.

The rest of the concubines were not so lucky.

All the people in Huaqing Palace are kneeling on the ground, and the whole palace is filled with a cold and heavy atmosphere.

I don't know why, a layer of ominous premonition welled up in empress Xiao's heart. When she passed through the vertical flower gate, she suddenly stopped, looked at a little maid kneeling on the ground and said, "did your majesty come back alone?"

The little maid said nervously, "if you go back to the queen, it's Princess Ning'an who comes back together."

Empress Xiao frowned.

Since Qin Chuyu was bullied by huangfuxian again and cried, empress Xiao had little affection for Princess Ning'an.

But the emperor came to comfort her from time to time, and she didn't go to find Ning'an's fault.

But I don't like it in my heart.

The emperor and Princess Ning'an took Luan to drive all the way to the outside of the bedroom. These little maids and eunuchs didn't know how the emperor was. They only heard that Princess Ning'an was injured and covered with blood.

Empress Xiao didn't ask any more questions. She walked quickly to the bedroom hall.

At the door of the bedroom, the maids and eunuchs are kneeling on the ground to wipe the mottled blood. Empress Xiao's heart is tight.

As she stepped into the room, a strong smell of blood came to her nose with the smell of wound healing medicine, which made her scalp numb.

"Your majesty

But concubine Zhuang passed her and ran straight to the Dragon bed!

Shufei and Yufei take a look at empress Xiao, but they can't help it. No matter how worried they are about your Majesty's dragon body, they don't have the confidence to run to empress Xiao.

Princess Ning'an is sitting on the chair beside the bed. Her forehead is injured, her face is covered with blood, and her right arm is also injured. A royal doctor is treating her injury.

The other two imperial doctors gathered in front of the Dragon bed to examine the emperor's injuries. Duke Wei was nervously wiping his tears beside the Dragon bed.

"Your Majesty, I have come to see you!" Concubine Zhuang couldn't wait to get to the bed, only to find that the emperor's forehead was covered with thick gauze. She was pale and seemed to be in a coma.

"What's the matter with your majesty?" asked Princess Zhuang with a pale face

After examining the emperor's right arm, Dr. Liang began to examine his left arm. Hearing the words, he saluted the concubine: "Your Majesty's head has been injured. Whether there are injuries in other places is being carefully diagnosed."

Empress Xiao stopped walking in the middle of the bedroom and said, "come here, don't disturb the imperial doctor to treat your Majesty's injury."

"I don't want it! I will guard your majesty

"Somebody

At empress Xiao's command, father-in-law Su and two powerful eunuchs of Kong Wu came forward and put the shouting concubine Zhuang down.

Empress Xiao's eyes swept over concubine Zhuang, concubine Shu and concubine Yu: "you are all waiting outside."

Duke Su came to the three ladies and said, "three ladies, please."

Concubine Zhuang didn't want to go out, but she also knew that the situation was better than others. After King Ning's accident, her mother was not used to her. She had no capital to fight with empress Xiao.

Concubine Zhuang came out of the bedroom in a huff!

She all went out, Shu imperial concubine and Yu imperial concubine also not good in situ pestle, had to retreat out together.

Princess Ning'an came to greet empress Xiao.

Empress Xiao looked at her injury and asked, "what does the imperial doctor say?"

Ningan Princess look haggard: "skin trauma, not in the way."

Empress Xiao asked, "what happened to the imperial study? I heard there was an assassin

Princess Ning'an lowered her head and sobbed: "yes, the assassin... Assassinated my brother. I didn't stop him, but I let him get hurt."

Empress Xiao zhengse way: "you go back to the Bixia hall first good health, this palace will deal with the assassin's business."

Princess Ning'an reluctantly looked back at the unconscious emperor.

I also took a look at Duke Wei.

Duke Wei dropped his eyes quickly.

Princess Ning'an turned her face and saluted empress Xiao, saying, "yes."

After she left, empress Xiao called Duke Wei over again and asked with dignity, "what's the matter with the assassin? Why does the good imperial study mix with assassins? Isn't your majesty surrounded by a great master? "

Duke Wei said: "yes, yes, just..."

Empress Xiao frowned and said, "just what?"

Duke Wei said bitterly: "it just happened too fast. No one expected that this kind of thing would happen. If Princess Ning'an hadn't stepped forward to block your Majesty's sword, I'm afraid your Majesty would be more or less in danger. When the assassin saw that his move failed, he grabbed the inkstone on the table and smashed his head at his majesty.... "

Empress Xiao's eyes were cold: "who is the assassin?"

Wei Gonggong drooped his eyes and said, "a yamen servant of the Ministry of punishment."

After empress Xiao interrogates Duke Wei, she finally finds out the whole story of the emperor's assassination. It turns out that her majesty is investigating a case related to the royal family recently. Today, the prisoners in the prison of the Ministry of punishment have pleaded guilty.

The Yamen servant named Sun Ping came to send his majesty a confession.

Xing Shangshu was the emperor's confidant. Naturally, the emperor would not doubt the person he sent. While his Majesty was reading the confession, Sun Ping suddenly pulled out the soft knife hidden in his belt and stabbed his majesty.

Duke Wei was at the door, far away, and didn't see what Sun Ping was doing.

Princess Ning'an took the lead to react, rushed to block a knife, hurt her right arm seriously, and accidentally knocked her forehead on the stool when she fell.

When Duke Wei found that the situation was not right, it was too late to ask someone to escort him. Sun Ping was too close to his majesty, and His Majesty was hit by the inkstone Sun Ping grabbed.

He also wanted to hit the second, Princess Ning'an rushed over, pulled out the knife left in his right arm, stabbed into Sun Ping's heart.

At that time, there were only the emperor, Princess Ning'an and Duke Wei in the imperial study, and there was no fourth witness.

Empress Xiao asks the guard of the gate to make sure that Sun Ping did enter the palace in the name of sending a confession.

Of course, empress Xiao also asked Duke Su to go to the Yamen of the Ministry of punishment, and the information she got was consistent with that of Duke Wei - Sun Ping came to plead guilty.

However, the Ministry of punishment did not expect Sun Ping to assassinate his majesty.

Sun Ping and Sun Jian are cousins, one in his early twenties and the other in his twenties. Both of them worked under Xing Shangshu. Although they were not in high official positions, they could always get in and out of Xing Shangshu's side, which was highly valued by Xing Shangshu.

On hearing Sun Ping's treacherous deeds, everyone's first reaction was unbelievable!

If it's Sun Jian who did it, they have to weigh it up. Sun Jian is more slippery than Sun Ping. Sometimes he is a bit of a bully, but Sun Ping is always honest.

"Where is sun pingren, Duke Su?" Xing Shangshu asked.

"He's dead." Su Gong said coldly.

Xing Shangshu took a breath.

"Who let Sun Ping into the palace?" he asked

Xiao Heng took a step forward.

Xing Shangshu held him and said to Su Gong, "it's me!"

The Duke of Su raised his chin and hummed coldly: "then please let Xing Shangshu go into the palace with the miscellaneous family! In addition, it's about your majesty. This case of assassination will be handed over to Dali temple and handled by Yushitai. "

Xing Shangshu said politely, "please wait for a moment, my father-in-law. Let me be in the right clothes, so as not to lose my appearance in front of the hall."

"Well." Su Gonggong responded with a sound, and took the palace people to turn out of Xing Shangshu's room.

Xing Shangshu lowered his voice and said to Xiao Heng, "I don't believe Sun Ping will assassinate your majesty, LIULANG. Find out the truth."

Xiao Heng nodded solemnly.

As soon as Xing Shangshu left, Xiao Heng wrote a letter to empress Xiao.

The letter shows that Sun Ping was sent by him, and the confession was also tried by him. It has nothing to do with Xing Shangshu. There is something else about Sun Ping.

But he hesitated and didn't send the letter.

Xing Shangshu was taken to the side hall of Huaqing Palace.

Empress Xiao sat on the throne, looked at Xing Shangshu kneeling on the ground with dignity and coldness, and said, "Xing Shangshu, now, what do you have to say? Is Sun Ping sent by you? "

Xing Shang wrote: "if you return to the queen, Sun Ping is indeed sent by Wei Chen, but Wei Chen does not believe that he will do something to assassinate your majesty."

Empress Xiao: "do you not believe it, or do you want to get rid of it?"

Xing Shangshu: "Sun Ping is a close yamen servant of Wei Chen. He died innocently. Wei Chen should try to find out the truth and get justice for him. How can he rush to get rid of the relationship?"

Empress Xiao squinted: "so you mean that our palace is wronging you?"

Xing Shangshu said: "I dare not."

Empress Xiao said, "I want to believe you, but the evidence is solid."

Xing Shangshu raised his eyes and looked at her: "dare to ask what evidence the queen said?"

Empress Xiao zhengse way: "human evidence, material evidence, all have!"

Su Gong came with a tray. On the tray was a piece of brocade cloth. On the brocade cloth was a bloody soft knife and an inkstone red with blood!

"These are Sun Ping's murder weapons." Su Gong told the story of the emperor's assassination.

Princess Ning'an and Duke Wei have the same caliber. The biggest backer of Princess Ning'an is the emperor. The whole court is arguing about whether to canonize her as the eldest princess. Your majesty means to canonize her.

Her Majesty's accident was a great loss to her.

Therefore, if analyzed from this level, she has no motive to commit the crime.

As for Duke Wei, this is the old man around his majesty. Who would doubt his loyalty?

Here, Xing Shangshu understood how pale his inference was in front of two powerful witnesses.

Queen Xiao asked, "what else can you say?"

Xing Shang wrote: "I have nothing to say."

Empress Xiao said coldly, "come on, escort Xing Shangshu to Dali temple!"

Xing Shangshu knelt on the ground with his back straight. He slowly took off his official hat and carefully handed it to the palace man who had come to detain him.

Empress Xiao called the officials of Dali temple and took them to the crime scene to collect evidence. The palace people who had been interrogated before also interrogated them one by one.

Empress Xiao was so busy that she couldn't support herself at last. She leaned against the back of the chair in the side hall and went to sleep.

all is quiet at dead of night.

The candle light in the bedroom is flickering.

Duke Wei knelt on the foot of the Dragon bed, wiping his tears silently.

A ghost like shadow quietly entered, and the gorgeous train meandered past from the smooth floor.

Duke Wei was crying. Suddenly he saw a huge shadow cast on the Dragon bed. He was so scared that he was about to turn around. Unexpectedly, a plain hand was gently pressed on his shoulder.

Mr. Wei is very nervous.

"Is Duke Wei cold?"

The man behind asked gently and slowly.

Duke Wei swallowed his saliva and lowered his fear. He said in a small voice, "if you go back to the princess, I'm not cold."

"It's not cold. What are you shaking about?" She asked.

Duke Wei forced his body to stop shaking.

"Is brother Huang awake?" She opened the bright yellow curtain, hung it with a hook, and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Wei Gonggong looked at her anxiously and said, "not yet."

She raised her hand and gently stroked the emperor's cheek: "my brother is really suffering."

Duke Wei bowed his head and said nothing.

"Mr. Wei, who do you think did this to my brother?"

"Sun, Sun Ping."

"Sun Ping?" She was stunned, and then ha ha ha to laugh, laugh forward and backward, gloomy laughter reverberated in the whole bedroom.

Duke Wei shuddered. He quietly turned to look at the palace people kneeling in the bedroom, and found that they all fell asleep on the ground without exception.

Duke Wei shuddered even more.

She laughed enough and wiped her tears with her fingertips: "isn't it me, Duke Wei? It's not that I was killed to prove my innocence. As a result, my brother didn't believe me, so I hurt him by mistake? "

Duke Wei didn't know how to answer the question. If he was wrong, he was afraid that she would go mad. If he was right, he was afraid that she would go mad.

She said: "Duke Wei, you are really a second person. If I let you use it for me, you really betrayed your brother. Are you all so seedless

Finally, she said, as if gnashing her teeth and kicking Duke Wei to the ground.

Duke Wei is not as old as Duke Qin, but he is not so young. This fall almost broke all his bones.

Is this the princess he knows? It's a violent maniac!

Who's been with her for eight generations!

She sneered: "brother, you open your eyes and see, this is the eunuch you trust, their body is disabled, their heart is also disabled, they have no loyalty to speak of."

"Brother Huang, I didn't intend to attack you so soon, but why don't you believe me? Don't you always trust me the most? "

"Is it because I didn't give you the medicine that you didn't treat me as well as your mother's wife?"

"But now I give it to you." Princess Ning'an said and took out a small porcelain vase from her arms.

Duke Wei suddenly changed his color!

He wanted to stop her, but she could even fight the Dragon shadow guard. Didn't he rush to get rid of her?

Once upon a time, I really didn't find the princess hiding so deep!

"Oh." Princess Ning'an had a panoramic view of Wei Gonggong's entanglement. She didn't pay attention to the suspicion and disgust of a mole ant. She only thought it was funny. She laughed a few more times and then turned to look at the emperor on the Dragon bed. "Don't worry, it's not the medicine to control your mind. If you eat that kind of medicine too much, you will become a fool. How can I give up? I also hope that my brother can clearly witness what I have done. "

Princess Ning'an broke the emperor's mouth and poured the medicine into it.

Before long, the emperor's eyelids began to tremble slightly.

It's a sign of a revival of consciousness.

But although the consciousness revived, the body was even more unable to move.

He will know what Ning'an has done and bear all the betrayals that Ning'an brings to him in the state of extremely clear brain.

His heart is like a knife, his lung is like fire, but he is powerless to return to heaven!
