"Your Highness... The incident happened suddenly, and the slave was also flustered. For a moment, he didn't expect that the Empress Dowager and others were still in the Zhai Hall..." Li Ji said in a guilty tone.
If I didn't expect it at all, it's impossible.
But in that case just now, did he want to open his mouth and transfer the bodyguards around the emperor to the Zhai hall—— The emperor will promise out of face, but he is afraid that he will die if he turns back!
Oh, not necessarily
If you really divide people in the past, whether the emperor can protect his own life or not
"Confused!" emperor Qingming was furious when he heard the speech: "... If the empress mother and the queen still have something wrong, how can I explain to my conscience!"
"Yes, I blame the slave for his negligence..."
Li Ji quickly knelt down to apologize, but sighed wearily at the bottom of his heart.
The emperor is really persistent. Now he still doesn't forget to pursue the name of benevolence and filial piety.
Conscience is not conscience. Whether the emperor has this thing or not. Nowadays, anyone who is not blind can't see it.
Look, you can see from the lukewarm response of your adults at this time——
He doesn't know whether the emperor is tired or not, but he is really tired of playing such plays.
"Han Yan!" emperor Qingming looked anxious and said, "take people to the Zhai hall quickly! Be sure to bring people here safely!"
Safe
Han Yan weighed the weight of these four words.
I always feel that it doesn't depend on him, but on God's will.
"Yes." Han Yan should step down and go out.
However, as soon as he left the hall door and turned around, he saw a group of people coming in a hurry.
The first girl was dressed in fancy clothes, holding a bloody dress in her hand, her hair bun was slightly scattered, embarrassed without damaging her dignity, and her cold face was full of anxiety at this time.
On the side of her body were two Gong E and an inner prison, followed by Princess respectfully. The royal highness of the princess, followed by the help of the Gong Er, followed with tears.
"Princess Royal, princess."
Han Yan leaned aside to salute.
"Your majesty! Your majesty can be inside!" Princess Yufeng asked anxiously as she stepped on the stone steps.
"Your Majesty is in the hall -" when Han Yan was about to ask the Empress Dowager and the queen, he saw that the mother and daughter had rushed into the hall without stopping for a moment.
"Your majesty!"
Princess Yufeng entered the inner hall without any communication, and no one dared to stop her.
"Yufeng, Jing Rong -" seeing the mother and daughter, Emperor Qingming's face was slightly slow: "you're all right. These assassins are fierce. Fortunately, you avoided a dangerous scene when you went to the Zhai hall."
"...?" Princess Yufeng was confused.
Where on earth did she and Xie dingning look like they had avoided the danger?
In order to cover up their own disaster, they only care about their own selfish nature, open their eyes and lie and open their mouth?
"By the way, are the empress mother and queen frightened? Where are they at this time?"
"Yufeng came here to tell his majesty that the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager were captured by those assassins!"
Emperor Qingming's face changed greatly.
The ministers were even more shocked.
This
How could such a thing happen!
"Is this true?!" emperor Qingming's brain buzzed and stared at Princess Yufeng.
How could the Empress Dowager and the queen be abducted!
"How dare Yufeng make up such nonsense!" Princess Yufeng's eyes turned red and tears came down: "those people broke into the Zhai hall with knives. When they got into the hall, they hacked and killed the people in the palace. In panic, I separated with my mother and the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager... I just heard those people say that they want to exchange US for Xia Tingzhen's life and grab one more and more chips!"
what?!
Xia Tingzhen?!
"Xia Tingzhen..." the ministers were surprised: "today these assassins... Were his arrangements?!"
"This is to see that the crime has been condemned to death... We will try to kill the king and rebel!"
"You said... They mentioned Xia Tingzhen?" emperor Qingming's face was suddenly cold to the extreme. His eyes were still fixed on Princess Yufeng's face, as if he were still weighing the truth of this statement.
Under the gaze of this vision, Princess Yufeng had a cold sweat in her palm, but she still nodded without hesitation: "Yufeng can never hear wrong!"
"That's what Xie Jiaojiao said! I heard it too!" Princess Jing Rongchang's face was dirty because she wiped her tears. She ran forward a few steps, rushed to the emperor, grabbed his robe and said, "brother, please call someone to save the wife!"
Then his mouth shriveled again, tears fell in clusters, and he cried, "I don't want anything to happen to my wife! I want my wife back!"
This appearance made it clear that it was a child's style, but Princess Yufeng was slightly stunned.
She couldn't help but know the origin of these assassins and the reason why they "abducted" the Empress Dowager and the queen.
In order to avoid hurting her by mistake during the Taimiao operation today, Zhaozhao told her the plan a few days ago in order to better cooperate——
But she was the only one who knew the plan. She never told anyone, including Xie dingning.
Just now, the assassins did say that they wanted to exchange US for Xia Tingzhen's life. They deliberately said it to those palace people——
Because she was worried that Xie dingning, a skin monkey, would jump out at the critical moment and affect Zhaozhao's plan, she took people to the inner room to rest on the grounds of sleepiness as soon as she entered the Zhai hall. When the assassins killed the Zhai hall, she asked Shi Shi to watch Xie dingning closely in the inner room. Xie dingning never came out from the beginning to the end. How can she say "I heard it"?
Did you agree with her?
Or... Aware of her intention, aware of the emperor's hesitation, and want to help her?
But how can a little fool have such a mind?
This strange strange feeling flashed in her heart, and Princess Yufeng's attention soon returned to the emperor.
Facing the long princess's cry, Emperor Qingming ignored it for a moment because of his anger.
Xia Tingzhen
He thought there was something strange about the assassination. If these assassins had no insiders, how could they break into the temple so easily!
And Rong's bitch dared to poison him... Was Xia Tingzhen behind his back?!
If so, his teacher... Is really a man of all means!
First it was Qiao Biying, and today he took away the two most important chess pieces, the Empress Dowager and the queen... His moves were accurate and made trouble under his eyes. All he chose were his key points!
"Your Majesty."
At this time, Ji Xiu came in from outside the hall.
Give you a cash red envelope!
"How! I can find Zhang Er!" emperor Qingming asked immediately.
"Back to your majesty, the minister and his people searched everywhere carefully and couldn't find the little prince." at this point, Ji Xiu said slightly: "but... A frightened Gong e said that she saw a black assassin take the little prince."
"What are you talking about!"
Emperor Qingming suddenly got up from his chair.
Those assassins... Even took his zhang'er!
"If Xia Tingzhen did it... He obviously wanted to use the Empress Dowager and the little prince as chips to threaten his majesty and the court!" an old minister was indignant and excited: "I told your majesty long ago that he has great ambition and can't stay at all!"
This is almost pointing to the emperor's nose and scolding the tiger.
Ji Xiu heard that this matter had something to do with Xia Tingzhen and immediately said, "emperor, it's urgent to make people go to Dali temple in addition to finding the Empress Dowager and the little prince!"
Xia Tingzhen is now imprisoned in Dali temple. He must not give the other party a chance to revive!
Qingming emperor's lips were blue, and he said in a fixed voice: "Ji Qing, I order you to go quickly to hunt down the assassin and order all parts of the city to rescue the little prince and Empress Dowager safely! People around Dali temple were ordered to investigate and guard strictly, and Xia Tingzhen was transferred to the Fu division in Beizhen. If anyone suspicious appeared during this period, he would be killed!"
"Yes, I do!"
Ji Xiu took the order without a moment's delay.
Ministers, I discussed and speculated every word you said, and everyone was anxious.
It's not important to sacrifice Meng Qiu. The emperor almost lost his life. In the end, he sacrificed the Empress Dowager and the little prince. Who can stand it?
After today, if it is spread, the face of the Daqing court will be completely lost!
Personal face is not important. How important is the face of the imperial court? Now the situation has become a pot of porridge. Once such news is spread, the imperial court will have no prestige, and it will be more difficult to suppress the chaos!
Then there are the Yan king and the Wu family
If they take advantage of the abduction of the Empress Dowager and the queen, it will be a real big trouble!
Listening to the voices in his ears, Emperor Qingming had a severe colic in his heart. No matter how hard it was to support, he fell back into his chair and suddenly spit out a big mouthful of scarlet blood.
"Your majesty!"
"Big brother! Big brother!"
"This... Emperor, what's the matter?"
"Where's the doctor! Hurry up!"
The ministers were flustered and helpless - let's say it was useless. The more this time, the more chaos! As an emperor, he has to stand up and take charge of the overall situation at this time!
As the emperor vomited blood, the situation became more and more chaotic.
Soon, a bodyguard led doctor Zheng, who was found from nowhere, to come in to see the emperor.
Doctor Zheng's hands were shaking at this time.
Don't ask him to give the emperor a diagnosis. Why doesn't he need someone to help him and prescribe two tranquilizing drugs?
But the emperor's pulse
Doctor Zheng broke out in a cold sweat.
I vaguely remember that he saw the emperor ten days ago. Why did he go down so much in just ten days?
And he always tells the emperor to be calm, calm
If you continue to toss like this... The rivers and mountains of Daqing are not over, the emperor is afraid to finish it first!
……
In Changqing street, at the end of the street, a line of police guards and two carriages passed by very quickly.
After seeing the mark on the carriage, the little five guarding in the dark left here quietly.
It seems that the childe has joined up with Miss Xu and is going to pick up general Xu and them——
The time is just right. You can start according to the original plan.
After Jixiu explained the pursuit of the assassin, he personally took people to Dali temple.
What assassin, what little prince, he doesn't care at all. Now he only values one thing, that is, Xia Tingzhen must die. He can't turn over again!
However, we can't get close to Dali temple. From a distance, we can hear the noise in front. Many people go to the south, which is the direction of Dali temple.
Ji Xiu had a bad feeling in his heart and immediately clapped his horse and took people to hurry.
"My Lord, the Dali temple is flooded!"
Seeing the thick smoke, Ji Xiu's face tightened.
After an assassination in the Tai Temple, the fire burned to Dali temple again. If you think about it with your feet, you can see that it must not be a coincidence!
"Ji Shangshu..."
The Secretary of Dali temple came out protected. He coughed in front of him with his sleeve. Seeing that Ji Xiu turned over and dismounted, he hurried forward to salute.
"Is Xia Tingzhen still in prison?" Ji Xiuli asked.
"Xia Tingzhen..." the Dali Temple Secretary subconsciously said, "I'm here."
But why is the minister so hurried and anxious? And as soon as he left here, the other party happened to arrive——
Isn't it
Dali Temple Qing's face suddenly changed.
Is it because someone wants to rob the prison!
The idea just took shape in his mind, as if to help him prove it. A servant quickly ran out of the yard behind him: "no, sir! A group of people in black with knives suddenly broke into the backyard. I don't know what the specific plot is!"
It's broken!
Ji Xiu suddenly pulled out the long knife around his waist: "half of the people come with me, and the other half encloses here. Never let anyone escape!"
He will die today and leave Xia Tingzhen's life!
As for the transaction with the Xu family girl, he has drafted the truth of that year into a letter and handed it to a trusted confidant. Even if he had an accident today, the letter will be handed over to Wan'er later. Wan'er is always smart and knows what to do!
……
The changes in Dali Temple soon spread to Emperor Qingming.
Just vomited blood and slowed down a little. The emperor closed his eyes and trembled all over.
Poison——
Assassination
Take away the empress dowager, Queen, zhang'er!
Now it's prison robbery again!
What a series of tricks!
He can't even believe that these can be done by his good teacher alone!
People in prison can still control the overall situation. Let alone, he has not been completely unprepared for Xia Tingzhen in recent years. When did the other party's minions breed so uncontrollable?
No
incorrect!
These are all on the surface, but the truth may not be so simple!
I don't know what he thought. Emperor Qingming seemed to make a loud noise in his chaotic brain. He suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "where is the Duke of town!"
The ministers subconsciously looked around at the speech.
I didn't see the Duke of town.
But at this time, the officials who were not here were not just the Duke of the town. Many officials were scattered on the way to the front hall.
"The Duke of the kingdom was injured while defending the enemy in the middle hall, or he hasn't been found for a while." some ministers speculated.
"At that time, it seemed that the Duke was badly hurt..."
When the people began to talk, someone proposed that the inner prison should be called to find someone.
Not long ago, an internal prison was brought back by Han Yan. He was too frightened and crawled on the ground. His body trembled and said: "... Nu saw the Duke chasing those assassins at that time!"
Chasing the assassin?
Officials were surprised.
Good guy, hurt like that, but you still have to chase the assassin?
This momentum can only make people say that the Duke of Zhenguo is worthy of being the Duke of Zhenguo.
The Minister of rites guessed, "the public is hurt. It's agreed that he won't follow up for no reason. Maybe he caught up with the assassins after they kidnapped the Empress Dowager or the little prince."
Several ministers nodded in agreement.
Leaving aside the disputes between monarchs and ministers, it is obvious to all that the great situation of the principality's personality is heavy. This explanation really fits the other party's style of behavior.
Emperor Qingming's eyes sank a little.
Is that true
His eyes swept through the people in the temple inch by inch.
If he is right, his son Xu Jin will not be found except the Duke of Zhenguo!
No, it's more than
