Chapter 47: Assassinated
The emperor was actually assassinated on the edge of the capital!
The news spread like wildfire, quickly spreading throughout the streets and alleys of the capital, and spreading to the suburbs of the capital. Soon, it even reached remote places like Dingxiang.
Ruiniang and the others immediately turned pale. For them, the assassination of the emperor was as terrifying as the sky falling and the earth falling.
Juaner took a breath of cold air and hurriedly asked Yu Gangze, who brought the news: "Steward Yu, what is the situation with the emperor now? Is the capital already in chaos?"
Yu Gang looked at her in surprise, wondering why she asked about the emperor and the capital, but missed the owner of this family? So he glanced at Pei Xiner, who was silent, and said: "Your Majesty
It’s okay, the Imperial Guards are not vegetarians, so we can’t let thieves hurt the emperor. It’s just our general... I heard that the general was stabbed in the chest in order to save the emperor!"
"Ah?!" Juan'er exclaimed and covered her mouth with her hands. Ruiniang and Ying'er also looked panicked and turned their attention to Pei Xin'er in unison.
Pei Xin'er's face was a little pale, and she was even more shocked when she heard this. Her heartbeat accelerated a few beats. After calming down, she asked again: "How is the general's situation now?"
If anything happens to Zhao Yutang, the lineage of General Yongwei will be over! Even though he still has some uncles and brothers, they are all people who cannot be supported by mud. Even if there are one or two smart ones among them, they will not be able to survive.
Without enough mind and courage, it is difficult to take on the important task. And when General Yongwei's mansion falls, what will happen to the seemingly illustrious old lady and the others?
Fortunately, she jumped out earlier! Otherwise, she would be as desperate as Feng and the others right now? The general's mansion must be in chaos now, right?
Yu Gangze didn't see what she was thinking. He thought she really cared about Zhao Yutai and hurriedly comforted him: "Auntie, don't worry. Although the general was injured, his life does not seem to be in danger. Follow the emperor."
The imperial doctors around me all have extraordinary medical skills, and they will surely be able to save the general from danger."
Pei Xin'er's shock was over, and she smiled slightly, her expression much calmer.
It's okay that Zhao Yutang is fine. After all, it's easy to enjoy the shade under the big tree. If he doesn't fall, she can still use it to bluff people as a concubine of the General's Mansion, right?
Ruiniang and the others naturally didn't understand her feelings. They just thought it was best if Zhao Yutang was fine, so they surrounded Yu Gangze and asked many questions about the outside world. Unfortunately, Yu Gangze also sent people to inquire about the news.
Like everyone else, I didn't get any special information, so naturally I couldn't tell you anything more detailed.
Sister Ling snuggled up to her mother obediently, raised her head and asked, "Mom, is daddy injured?"
Pei Xin'er smiled, looked at her and said, "Yes, dad is injured, but it doesn't matter. Your dad is a lucky man and will be fine."
After hearing this, Sister Ling laughed happily. Although she was a little afraid of her father, she was definitely not a rebellious and unfilial person. When she heard that her father was injured, she was naturally worried. Now that she has been comforted by her mother, with her little
The mind naturally believed that what the mother said must be true, and became happy.
Pei Xiner looked at her daughter's smiling face and smiled herself, and thought of another benefit of Zhao Yutsang's life - as long as he is alive, Sister Ling has a father. For her future and prospects, this is
is very important.
So... it's better for Zhao Yutsao to be alive.
Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly saw a servant rushing in in a panic. Regardless of the rule that servants were not allowed to enter the inner courtyard, he rushed directly in front of Pei Xiner, knelt down with a "pop" and said: "Aunt... aunt, no.
Okay! Suddenly a lot of sergeants came outside and surrounded our yard!"
"What?!" Pei Xiner stood up suddenly, her face turned pale in an instant, and then a wave of dizziness hit her, and she almost fell to the ground.
Yu Gangze and others were even more astonished. Ying'er and Juan'er's feet were so weak that they almost sat down on the ground.
Yu Gang looked at Pei Xiner and called out with a trembling voice: "Aunt... aunt..."
Pei Xiner managed to calm down, looked at him and said calmly: "Don't... don't panic, go out first and see what the situation is... and then make plans."
Yu Gang's scalp was numb, but he could only do this kind of thing. Is it possible for the hostess Pei Xiner to show up in person? So he could only bite the bullet, support his weak legs, and walk out quickly.
, went to inquire about the truth of the matter.
Pei Xiner took a deep breath and held her daughter, who was confused, tightly in her arms.
Is it a sergeant? She is not afraid of anything else but that that person will finally find an opportunity to attack them! If that is the case, none of them will be able to escape, and they will all have to die here today!
what to do?!
Even though she had already died once, when she faced death again, she still could not remain calm. Boundless fear spread in her heart, not from fear of her own death, but from fear of not being able to save her young daughter.
Unlike her previous life, where she died in the General's Mansion, Sister Ling did not leave the scope of the General's Mansion. Under Zhao Yuchang's nose, no one dared to blatantly implicate her affairs to Sister Ling.
As a result, Sister Ling was able to be saved. But this time they had left the general's mansion, so what if they all died here? Not to mention that Zhao Yuchang's life and death were not known now, even if he was still alive, without any evidence of death, she and
If my daughter dies, won’t her death be in vain?!
For a moment, she had doubts about her original decision for the first time - was she right to go to all the trouble to leave the general's mansion?!
Nowadays, the people here are all old and weak women and children. In addition to worrying about her own safety, Ruiniang is also very worried about her husband and son. However, they all live outside the mansion. If something unexpected happens, there is a high chance that they can
Thinking of escaping alone, she felt more at ease.
She herself had already made up her mind to advance and retreat with her master, but she was innocent. She never wanted her child to be implicated and die here.
Just as people were panicking, there was suddenly another burst of footsteps, running towards the hall very quickly. It could be heard that the footsteps were very brisk, as if it could show the relaxed and happy mood of the owner of the footsteps.
Everyone hurriedly looked up and saw Yu Gangze rushing back excitedly. His expression was in sharp contrast to when he just went out. He said happily: "Auntie, it's the general. The general is here! Those are the general's personal soldiers.
They said that the general was injured and will stay with us for a while!"
