The candlelight came on, making the room much brighter. After the dark figure lit the candle, he did not make any threatening movements. Instead, he placed the candlestick on the table, turned around and sat down.
The candlelight was dim, but you could still see the man's robe, blue robe, and tooth-colored belt. He was dressed like a low-level eunuch, but this man didn't behave like a low-level eunuch. He ran into Liu Jin's bedroom in the middle of the night.
, it’s very wrong to make a fuss without saying anything.
Liu Jin's mind was spinning rapidly, judging the person behind the black shadow. He didn't speak, and the other person didn't speak either. After all, Liu Jin couldn't help it anymore and asked in a trembling voice: "Who are you?"
"What do you think?" the man asked, his tone relaxed and nonchalant.
"Who sent you?"
"What do you think?" Still the same answer.
The man sat on the chair with a golden sword, calm and calm. You must know that this is the Prince's East Palace. As long as there is any disturbance, a large number of guards will swarm over. This man is not afraid at all. There is only one possibility. He
Be confident and fearless.
"what are you up to?"
"What do you think?"
Liu Jin was about to go crazy. On such a cold rainy winter night, he should have curled up in the warm bed and listened to the sound of rain outside and slept peacefully. Who would have thought that there was such an unknown guy sitting in front of the bed?
Sen is cold and has no good intentions.
The palace is the safest place, but also the most dangerous place. It is deep inside, and the palaces are lined up one after another. Outsiders can't even figure out the door, let alone sneak in for assassination. Outsiders cannot enter, and the dangers all come from within. Since ancient times, the palace has
It is a bloody place, forced to invade, mutiny, murder, assassination, all dynasties are indispensable.
The person in front of him definitely did not come from outside the palace. Liu Jin had already confirmed this. So, the only possibility is...
"Are you from the west?" Liu Jin asked cautiously.
The visitor stopped talking. Liu Jin felt confident and said with a grimace: "Our family has already taken a big risk in what happened last time. Didn't we agree that if we only do it once, all the money our family owes will be written off?"
, His Highness the Third Highness cannot go back on his word."
It turns out that the Third Highness was also involved in this matter. Liu Jin, as the eunuch of the East Palace, was able to be blackmailed by the Third Highness. It seems that the third prince is not a good person. Yuan Feng does not want to know about the grudges between their brothers. The key is
Liu Jin is responsible for the seven lives of the Military Commander.
With a swipe sound, the person pulled out a steel wire from his sleeve, stood up and walked towards Liu Jin. The flickering candlelight illuminated the ferocious smile on the person's face. Liu Jin panicked, thinking that the other person was trying to kill someone and silence him.
I felt regretful and afraid.
After Liu Jin entered the palace, he was still a bad gambler. He didn't want to fall into a trap and owed a huge debt of millions of taels. Although he was the leading eunuch of the East Palace, the prince was only the prince after all, and his power was limited. He was tricked by someone in the West Palace.
I could only knock out my teeth and swallow it. I didn’t expect that after I had done everything I needed to do, the other party actually wanted to silence me.
Faced with the threat of death, Liu Jin's bloated body burst out with unexpected strength. He jumped out of the bed while still wearing a thin white coat, and rushed out the door barefoot. The killer sent by the "West" seemed to have no idea at all.
Don't be impatient and follow Liu Jin leisurely.
Liu Jinxun rushed to the door and hurriedly pulled the latch. He wanted to shout, but no sound came out. Xiaoliuzi and the others were so sleepy that they usually woke up if they coughed twice, but today there was no movement at all.
, could he have been killed? The more he panicked, the more his hands shook. The door latch could not be moved. Hearing the footsteps behind him getting closer and closer, Liu Jin suddenly exerted force, and the door latch was pulled out. The door was open, and it was pouring rain outside.
It was pitch dark all around, except for the palace lantern in the prince's bedroom that was on.
Seeing the bright light, he seemed to see the hope of life. Liu Jin rushed towards the prince's bedroom desperately, stumbling and running in the rain. He accidentally fell and was covered in mud and water. He got up and kept running. Looking back, The killer still followed leisurely.
Your Highness the Third Highness is really ruthless. He hides the birds and hides them. He kills the rabbits and the dogs cook them. He thinks that I, Liu Jin, have no use value anymore, so he kills them all. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world? Even if I die, I can't die in your hands, Liu Jin. As he gritted his teeth, his sharp voice was like a comet dragging a broom tail across the night sky: "Help, there is an assassin!"
In fact, the palace is not as people imagine. There are martial arts masters and palace guards lurking everywhere. In the halcyon years, when the world is at peace, anyone who is full and has nothing to do can enter the palace to assassinate. The walls of the palace are larger than those in ordinary provincial cities. The city walls must be tall, and every gate has a guard on duty. The palace is huge and the palaces are vast. Except for the emperor's palace, which is guarded by some so-called masters, the rest of the palaces have no guards at all.

The prince has not been able to sleep well these past few days. Whenever he closes his eyes, he is reminded of those annoying things. The second and fourth boys are really worried. After all, they were raised by the same mother. They hold back their energy and fight against themselves. Although they are The eldest son is also the crown prince, but no one can figure out his father's moody temper, and there is no telling whether he will be deposed as the crown prince one day.
He was a light sleeper and could wake up at the slightest movement. Liu Jin's sharp cry for help came into the bedroom, and Prince Zhang Chengqian woke up with a start.
"Come here! Who is shouting!" the prince roared.
When the prince went to bed, as usual, there were three eunuchs and maids waiting outside, dressed and ready to be called. When the master called, a young eunuch rushed in: "Your Highness, it is Eunuch Liu who is calling outside."
"Help, there is an assassin." Liu Jin's shrill voice reached his ears again. This time the prince heard it clearly, and his face turned pale on the spot. He was lucky enough to escape last time, otherwise he would have died in the carriage. He was frightened. De Lian said: "Where are the guards? Where are the guards?"
The door of Fengxian Hall was knocked by Liu Jin, and a crying voice came in: "Your Highness, help me, this old slave is loyal and serves His Highness wholeheartedly. He never dares to slack off. He assassinated His Highness and framed the Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu. It was planned by the west side, and now they are here to kill the old slave again. Your Highness, out of consideration for the old slave’s many years of service, please save the old slave.”
The voice was like crying, and the sound of wind and rain made people even more frightened. Zhang Chengqian looked out through the glass lattice of the window and saw a tall man standing in the rain. Under the swaying palace lantern, the blue low-level figure The eunuch's robe flickered, standing there so abruptly. Of course, this person was not a eunuch, but an assassin!
Zhang Chengqian is not very courageous, but after all, he is his father's biological son, so he still has some ability to adapt to changes. "Block the door, call the guards!" He said hastily, and pressed the mechanism beside the bed, and a secret door appeared in front of him. In front of him, the prince dodged and hid in. Even Liu Jin didn't know about this secret hiding place. It was arranged by his mother, but he didn't expect it to come in handy today.
The reaction of the Ouchi guards was quite fast. After hearing the warning gong from the East Palace, a group of guards rushed over. The torches formed a long tongue of flame in the rain. The entire palace was also alarmed. Palace lanterns were lit everywhere, and the eunuchs and maids They got up from their beds and were busy putting on their clothes and shoes. Twenty years after the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, this was the first time an assassin had come to the palace.
The emperor had already fallen asleep when he suddenly heard the sound of a gong, and then the sound of rapid footsteps outside. The emperor quickly stood up, grabbed the sword on the bedside, and asked in a cold voice: "What happened?"
Yu Hu, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, walked in with his armor on and his expression was as usual: "Your Majesty, the East Palace has issued a warning. It seems that an assassin has entered the palace."
The emperor's brows furrowed into a frown, "If you don't hurry up and catch him, what's the point of guarding him here?"
"The general will be afraid..."
"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that assassins will come to kill me? Just go if you are told." The emperor was furious. Yu Hu did not dare to disobey and led the people away, but still left a large number of guards and imperial guards to guard the place where the emperor was staying. Qing Palace.
The rain was still falling, so the emperor put his sword on the table, put on his clothes and walked around in front of the window. Several eunuchs were waiting outside the bead curtain in fear, for fear of His Majesty's anger. After all, entering the palace to assassinate was a violation of the royal dignity. -Naked provocation.
The assassination attempt on the crown prince failed last time and was not investigated clearly. This time the assassin actually went directly to the East Palace. Does anyone really want to kill the crown prince? Such a trick is too idiotic. A fool can guess that it was the other three princes. , with the intelligence of those three sons, they would not be able to do such a stupid thing.
Another possibility is that his eldest son staged a farce on his own and deliberately framed his three younger brothers. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, it can at least weaken the impression of the three of them in the heart of his father.
Huh, this kid still has such a scheme. The emperor curled his lips in disdain and went to bed to continue sleeping. After a while, the eunuch quietly came in and put out the candle with a lampshade.
This was the first time in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty that an assassin entered the palace. The guards and officers below Yu Hu did not dare to neglect. They lit lanterns and torches and guarded all exits. Important palaces were guarded by additional guards. The off-duty imperial guards in the barracks were also called. Get up, put on your helmet, and go up to the city wall to stand guard. A large group of guards holding torches and wearing raincoats set up posts everywhere in the palace to search for you.
When Yu Hu rushed to Fengxian Hall, the assassin had already left. He only saw the soaked East Palace eunuch Liu Jin kneeling in front of the prince with a gray complexion. The prince's face was not good-looking either, turning red and white. However, when he saw the chief general of the Royal Forest Army coming, he still managed to smile.
"Thanks to the timely arrival of the guards, the assassin failed to succeed and has already absconded. Many thanks to the general."
"Your Majesty, please don't be polite about matters within the general's scope. I wonder if any of my father-in-laws have ever seen the assassin's appearance." Yu Hu asked.
"He is a very tall young man. He is wearing the blue robe of a third-class eunuch. It is too dark outside and his appearance cannot be seen clearly." The young eunuch of the East Palace answered Yu Hu's question.
Yu Hu nodded. At this time, the guards came to report that there were no suspicious signs around Fengxian Hall, so he said: "In that case, I will retire."
"General Yu, please excuse me." The prince bowed slightly and said.
Yu Hu exited Fengxian Hall, but frowned. For some reason, he felt that the atmosphere in Fengxian Hall was strange.
After the imperial guards left, the prince sneered: "Liu Jin, please explain to me the meaning of what you just said."
…
The palace was already boiling late at night. People in all the palaces were woken up. There were rushing footsteps, bright torches, pale swords and guns everywhere. The little maids of Chuxiu Palace also got up, lying inside the palace gate and looking out. Look, they were chattering from time to time and running around with paper umbrellas. There was an assassin coming to the palace, and they were very excited.
Princess Anle also woke up. In fact, she didn't fall asleep at all. Winter nights with cold rain are considered by most people to be a good time to indulge in dreams, but this damn weather has touched the princess's vulnerability.
She fell asleep due to her heartstrings.
On such a rainy night, someone could not sleep like me and ran into the palace to kill people. This assassin is really a wonderful person, Princess Anle thought so.
