One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]
Baili Qingfeng stood up abruptly. He frowned deeply and asked, "What's going on?"
"Reporting to the Emperor, the guards guarding the entrance to the tent heard the sound of movement in the room, so they went to take a look. They saw the Fifth Prince lying motionlessly on the bed with medicinal bottles scattered around him."
"Let's go take a look!"
Shen Ninghua followed behind Baili Qingfeng, secretly calculating in her heart. Baili Jinze was extremely protective of her life, yet she could actually commit suicide. It seemed like her plan was not small.
Baili Qingfeng strode into the tent. The Chen Courtyard was already inside treating the Fifth Prince.
"Reporting to your majesty, the Fifth Prince isn't too injured. Take care of your dragon body, don't worry too much."
Baili Qingfeng's expression loosened for a moment. Then, he asked, "Chen Chuan, what's going on?"
He paused for a moment before speaking, "Reporting to your majesty, the medicine the Fifth Prince consumed was to calm his mind and calm his mind, so there shouldn't be any major problems with it. The reason why he slept so heavily this time was because he had taken too many of them at once.
"A drug to calm one's mind?" Baili Qingfeng clenched his teeth and sucked in a deep breath to suppress the anger in his chest.
"Yes."
Baili Qing Cang turned his head to look at the guard kneeling on the ground, "Suicide? Heh, my guards can't even tell the difference between dead and asleep? "
He was actually making such a big fuss just because of the drug that could calm him down. He was so unlucky!
"Your Majesty, please forgive us!"
"Men, take away all the guards that were on guard duty and place all twenty of your staff on guard. The imperial guards will be in charge of the fifth prince and take away all the things in the tent. Let us see if we can continue torturing like this!"
He took away everything in the tent, not only eliminating the source of the Fifth Prince's suicide, but also preventing people from conspiring to kill him. Furthermore, he also wanted the guards of the imperial guards to watch over him, making it even more impossible for something to happen. It seemed that the Emperor's suspicions that Baili Jinze was the Lord Villa Master of the Coiling Dragon Villa were only about fifty percent, which was slightly lower than he had expected.
"Ah, what is that? Help! Quick, someone save us! "
Baili Qingfeng walked out of the tent and saw that there were people running back towards the south side of the camp, his face full of panic.
When they saw Baili Qingfeng, everyone hurriedly kneeled down, "Your Majesty, wolves are coming from the north. There's a large group of them, around a few hundred!"
Baili Qingfeng's expression became serious, "Everything's fine, why would there be a pack of wolves?"
"This servant doesn't know."
Chu Junyi stepped forward. "Your Majesty, the reason for the pack of wolves can be verified later. The main purpose now is to protect you. Please move!"
Just as he finished speaking, an official behind him cried out in panic, "The wolves are here!"
Chu Junyi didn't bother with formalities at all. She turned around and leapt to the front of the pack, slashing down the charging wolves with her sword!
"Protect the emperor!"
Shen Ninghua stood in front of Baili Qing Cang and said, "Father, be careful."
"Little girl, even though royal father is old, he doesn't need you to protect him."
Shen Ninghua gave a faint smile but did not move away from him. He took a dagger from the Cyan Sparrow and stared at Chu Junyi, who was standing at the very front of the pack. Was this really his plan? No, that wasn't possible. He had always done things with a sense of propriety, so he definitely wouldn't let the emperor and more than half of the imperial court's officials fall into danger. Then, just who was the culprit behind this pack of wolves?
At the beginning, the wolves attacked ferociously, and the soldiers and guards didn't react in time, causing a certain amount of panic. After the initial panic, the situation was immediately controlled.
Although there were many wolves, they were still tours by the emperor. The guards had brought more than 800 people with them. The wolves quickly realized that the humans in front of them were not people they could deal with. They slowly retreated.
At this moment, a man wearing a black cloak quietly stood out. He held a small green bamboo flute in his hand, and a sharp sound suddenly rang out.
The pack of wolves that was about to leave suddenly charged towards the crowd as if they had been fed manic drugs. Their vicious gazes were filled with a raging ruthlessness.
The man in black turned to run, but Chu Junyi caught up with him and cut him in the back with her sword. The man in black threw himself onto the ground.
Baili Qingqing, who had been keeping an eye on Chu Junyi, immediately shouted, "Good!" "Chu Junyi, you've got a good eye. Chu Junyi is a good man, she's worthy of you."
Shen Ninghua's heart relaxed. She turned around and walked to Baili Qingfeng's side and said, "Imperial Father is too kind."
Just as Baili Qingfeng was about to speak, Shen Ninghua's gaze swept behind him. His eyes suddenly widened as he shoved Baili Qingfeng backwards. A guard wielded a cold dagger in his hand as he attacked towards her chest.
In a split-second, the cyan sparrow fiercely swung its sword and struck the incoming dagger. Although the dagger did not fall off, it moved the dagger away from its target and fiercely stabbed Shen Ninghua's shoulder!
"Condensing Flowers!"
The cyan sparrow leaped forward and kicked over the dagger-wielding guard, supporting Shen Ninghua, "Miss, are you alright?"
"No problem, it didn't hurt my vitals." Shen Ninghua's face was pale. The intense pain caused her forehead to be covered in a layer of cold sweat.
Chu Junyi, who had managed to subdue the man in black, turned around and saw Shen Ninghua injured. Killing intent gushed out of her eyes, and the pack of wolves seemed to sense her presence and retreated two steps in unison.
Without the bamboo flute from the man in black, the wolves no longer had any scruples. They all turned around and ran towards the woods.
"Ning Hua, do you need to be serious?"
Baili Qing Cang's expression was so dark that water could be seen from his face. There was actually an assassin hidden amongst his guards. If not for the fact that Xiao Ning Hua had discovered him in time, he would have been in danger.
"Chen Jun, hurry and help Ning Hua treat her. The governor of the capital city has to clean up the scene. As for the other officials, see them at the main account."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Chu Junyi didn't give a damn about the rest of the group as she picked Shen Ninghua up by the waist and carried him back to the tent with quick steps. The sweat on her forehead was even more pronounced than Shen Ninghua's.
"I'm fine, don't worry. The cyan sparrow made its move in time. The dagger only hit its shoulder. The wound isn't deep, so it shouldn't be a problem."
"Shen Ninghua!"
Hearing the annoyance in his voice, Shen Ninghua curled her lips in compromise and said, "Alright, I won't say anymore."
Entering the tent, Chen Jun instructed the cyan sparrow to help Shen Ninghua clean up her wounds and wrap them in layers of gauze.
"Princess, your body is not that good, although you have carefully nurtured it before, but in the end, your innate constitution brought along some weakness." Princess, your body is not that good, although you have carefully nurtured it before, but in the end, your innate body brought along some weakness.
"Yes, thank you, Principal Chen."
After sending off Chen Jun, Chu Junyi's last bit of smile disappeared. She stared at Shen Ninghua, unable to suppress the rage in her eyes.
Shen Ninghua didn't know why, but seeing his expression, he felt a little guilty. "You …" What's the matter with you? "
"Xiao Hua, why did you go forward?" He repeatedly told Shen Ninghua to take care and protect himself, but the moment he made a mistake, she injured him again! Shen Ninghua paused, and without a doubt, his fingers rubbed the quilt. "That assassin was obviously trying to assassinate our Emperor. I called him Imperial Father, and he doted on me greatly. It is only right for me to stand out."
"That assassin was in a state of panic. With Baili Qingfeng's decision, as long as you gave him a warning, it would have been completely possible for him to escape. Why did he insist on injuring himself?"
Shen Ninghua bit her lips and grabbed Baili Qing's trembling hand, saying, "Jun Yi, my hand hurts."
Chu Junyi's watery eyes met his own, and the words she spoke were stuck in his chest. He felt a stifling sensation in his chest. If it weren't for the fact that he was injured, he would definitely have held her in his arms and spanked her, "From now on, don't be like this."
"Yes."
After this matter, Baili Qingfeng would definitely increase his guard. There was no need for her to continue to attack.
The cyan sparrow's voice was heard, "Princess, the Emperor has sent someone to announce that Lord Chu has arrived."
Chu Junyi's brows twitched. "I'm leaving."
"Mm, be careful."
"Alright."
"This humble subject is guilty."
"Minister of the Board of Justice, did the man in black confess?" "Who is it?"
"Reporting to your majesty, that black-clothed man was initially unwilling to confess and even attempted to commit suicide many times. This subject found ten hidden poisons on his body, and later, this humble subject used torture to find out that he came from the Coiling Dragon Villa."
Baili Qing Cang's gaze was as sharp as a sword: "Coiling Dragon Villa again … What a great 'Coiling Dragon Villa'! "
"Your majesty, Coiling Dragon Villa has the wolf's ambition. Not only did they once send someone to assassinate you, but they even planned to assassinate you in the surrounding grounds. This humble subject requests that you lead people to wipe out Coiling Dragon Villa!"
"Your majesty, this humble subject thinks that it is inappropriate. Since that black-clothed man is able to control the wolf pack through the bamboo flute, it's hard to avoid the fact that Coiling Dragon Villa doesn't have any other talented individuals. Rashly attacking is extremely inappropriate."
"Your majesty!"
As the group continued their discussion, Chu Junyi walked into the tent. His black robe accentuated his appearance, "This humble subject pays his respects to the king."
"You're here, just in time. Tell me, should we encircle and annihilate the Coiling Dragon Villa?"
Chu Junyi frowned slightly. "Your majesty, assassins have guts. They dared to disturb Your Majesty in the enclosure, and they even injured Princess Zhao Hua. I'm sure they'll accompany them to exterminate her. However, Coiling Dragon Manor has only heard of her name and haven't seen her exact address. How do we investigate this?"
The officials all lowered their heads. After a long debate, they had actually forgotten the most important question. They did not even know the exact location of the Coiling Dragon Villa!
"Then, what do you think we should do?"
Chu Junyi cupped her hands and a cold light flashed in her eyes, "Reporting to your majesty, didn't I catch a Death Soldier before? Didn't I say that the master of the Coiling Dragon Villa is from the royal family? If we capture the thief and the king, won't the remaining members of the gang scatter like birds and beasts? "
Baili Qingfeng frowned as the image of Baili Jinze flashed through his mind. He was struggling in his heart.
Chu Junyi watched his expression and thought to herself, All I can say is that Hundred Miles Jin Ze gave the emperor too deep of an impression. Even though he'd seen the evidence, he still didn't want to believe it. However, it didn't matter. What he needed to do was to make him believe that there was no room for negotiation.
"Your majesty, His Imperial Highness the Fifth Prince has awoken and is currently waiting outside the tent. He wishes to request an audience with your majesty."
