Chapter 431

These people have no extra operation, a fatal strike, after reaching the goal without hesitation to withdraw, this level of assassins are rare.

But why do they look for the prince?

Now the grown-up prince or nearly grown-up Prince has been caught. Who is the beneficiary of this? It seems that all the concubines with children in the harem are suspected.

Liu Yongzhong was thinking quickly in his mind, and at the same time he took this group of crude eunuchs to Jinsheng palace.

Although the Emperor just asked him to check the situation of other palaces, if he really gave such an order and made such an action, he would not be able to get into the position of a confidant eunuch. Obviously, even if he heard that the princes were dead, the emperor would not want to be ignored.

Liu Yongzhong arrived at Jinsheng palace. In the past, although the palace was resplendent, it was also a solemn and rich scene. At this time, it was quiet, and several guards were standing at the gate of the palace, waiting for the above orders.

Liu Yongzhong glanced at their clothes and found that they were all the lowest level guards. No wonder when something happened, they were like a chicken in a panic.

Liu Yongzhong put on the posture of a eunuch beside the emperor. Although these flustered bodyguards didn't recognize Liu Yongzhong, they recognized the clothes he was wearing. Their grade was much higher than theirs. Now they don't care what they look down on the eunuch's money. Although the armor is not convenient, they all salute him and look at him with expectant eyes.

Liu Yongzhong didn't care to talk to them. He pushed aside the others in front of him and began to look at them one by one from the first room of Jinsheng palace. As the bodyguard said before, people from inside and outside, from the prince to the little eunuch, basically cut their throats.

Liu Yongzhong climbed up step by step from the bottom of the eunuchs in the palace. He had seen a lot of dirty things in the palace, but he had never seen such an efficient way to kill people. Although he was not afraid of the dead and the blood, he still could not help shaking all over.

However, the prince was probably cut his throat in his sleep. Even if he woke up later, because his blood vessels and throat were cut off, he could not make a sound and even struggled little. His facial expression was not very ferocious.

Liu Yongzhong went to the rest of the palaces. Except for the sixth prince, he covered his throat for a while because the guards tried to give first aid at that time. The scene looked more messy. The other palaces were almost the same except for the location of the dead.

Liu Yongzhong checked it and was a little worried. On the one hand, he felt that the princes could not be allowed to lie on the bed like this. On the other hand, he was worried that if he asked someone to restrain his body rashly, it would affect the search for clues to the assassin. After a moment's hesitation, he simply didn't care. He came out to ask the guards what they knew.

Most of the bodyguards who survived by chance just had a rest with their colleagues. They were not alerted until the assassin was about to withdraw. When they came in a hurry, they didn't even see the Assassins' back. That's how they could escape.

That is to say, among the remaining people, only the bodyguard who was in front of the Royal Prelude took photos with the assassins.

But looking at the way he was bleeding before, I don't know if the emperor could remember to let him go to treat the wound in his anger. Otherwise, the only witness might not be able to live.

Liu Yongzhong saw that he couldn't find anything in these people's mouths, so he told them to guard the gate of Jinsheng palace. No one was allowed to put it in, and then he rushed to other places to check.

He was followed by a group of coarse eunuchs. Although they didn't follow into the palace of Jinsheng palace before, they were shocked to see the appearance of the guards outside the palace and hear Liu Yongzhong's questions. They thought that even the prince had been killed in the most noble place in the world. They followed Liu Yongzhong and became more cautious.

The six Eastern and Western palaces are so big that Liu Yongzhong can't run through every palace. So he arranged for the coarse eunuchs to pretend to work and go to check the other palaces of the six palaces. Liu Yongzhong took the remaining four with him to check around the emperor's bedroom and several imperial concubines that the Emperor often visited recently.

This investigation is extraordinary. Not only a few maids and eunuchs were killed outside the emperor's palace, but also several more bodies were found outside the palace of Princess Qian!

Liu Yongzhong was so scared that he was in a cold sweat. It seemed that the assassins were coming for the emperor, but the palace was too large and the emperor loved many concubines. After two successive dives, the assassins were afraid to attract attention and didn't dare stay in the palace for a long time, so they had to withdraw. However, they went to Jinsheng palace to kill the princes.

Liu Yongzhong thought clearly, and did not wait for the eunuchs who went to the six palaces of the East and the west to come back, so he hurriedly went to the emperor to reply.

The emperor is still in Yang Meiren's palace. Yang Meiren dares not pretend to sleep at this time. She gets up and puts on her clothes for the emperor. The emperor sits still and follows her movements with her eyes closed.

Yang Meiren dressed the emperor, and she put on a piece of clothes at random. She stole a glance at the emperor's face. She got down from the bed quietly and avoided to the side hall. She almost didn't cry with her mouth covered. What's the matter? She finally seduced the emperor into her palace, but such a tragedy happened!

Yang Meiren has no friendship with the princes and their wives. When she heard the news of their death, she was shocked and afraid, but regretted that she had chosen the wrong time to invite her beloved.

Not to mention Yang Meiren's regret at this time, Liu Yongzhong ran out of sweat on his head in the cold night. Before entering the hall, he eased his breath twice before entering the hall to face the saint.

The emperor was in the same position as before, that is, he was covered with one more dress, and there was a pool of blood on the ground in front of him, but the bodyguard disappeared.

Liu Yongzhong breathed softly, knowing that it was the emperor who sent people down to treat the injury.

The emperor remained calm, which made Liu Yongzhong feel a little more at ease. After he reported his situation to the emperor, he knelt down quietly and waited for the emperor's instructions.

The emperor was silent for a long time and asked, "has my palace been assassinated?"

Liu Yongzhong put his head on the ground and said, "when the slave entered the palace, all the people he could see were gone, and his body was cold. It seemed that he had been dead for a long time."

Liu Yongzhong didn't dare to say that the assassin was coming for the emperor. He just described what he saw one by one.

The emperor then asked, "no one else is aware of that, is that right?"

Liu Yongzhong said, "everything is as usual in the palaces where I passed. As for the six palaces in the East and the west, I've sent someone to check them, but the area is too wide. I'm afraid I can't finish it at the moment."
