Chapter 207: Seventh and Ninth Masters Assassinated
Su Qingyi raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at him happily, "What do you mean..."
Yingjie nodded, "Water can carry a boat and capsize it. His advantages will also become his disadvantages. As long as we use retreat to advance and let him show his sharpness, the emperor will naturally be wary of him."
Su Qingyi gradually smiled, "If the Third Prince is strong, and the Seventh Master and the Ninth Master are assassinated one after another and cannot be used, then there will be an undercurrent in the capital."
Yingjie smiled and nodded, "I'll leave this matter to my subordinates."
The sky is getting dark, the cold wind blows in the winter night, and the cold plum trees stand proudly in the snow, flying in the wind
The candlelight swayed, stretching Dugu Chen's tall figure longer and longer. He stood in the window wearing a black robe, quietly looking at the deathly silence outside the window.
Suddenly, there was a coat on his shoulders. When he looked back, Su Qingyi had already walked around in front of him. She closed the collar of the coat with her beautiful hands and wrapped him tightly. She held his cold hands with some annoyance, "It's so cold, so I'm not afraid."
"Wind and cold"
Dugu Chen reached out and hugged her into his coat and wrapped her tightly, lowered his head and kissed her hairline gently, "It's too hot in the room, I'm groggy, and I'm not awake enough, so I wanted to blow in the cold air."
My eyes followed his line of sight and stopped on a winter plum in the courtyard.
There was silence all around, feeling each other's warmth, feeling the peace and tranquility of this moment, and remembering it deeply
Suddenly, the person behind him groaned, and the smell of blood lingered in the air. Dugu Chen held Su Qingyi's hand tightly, frowning coldly, and blood gurgled from the shoulder blade penetrated by the long arrow.
Su Qingyi's eyes trembled slightly, and she nodded slightly to the black shadow on the roof opposite. The black shadow disappeared in an instant.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty... Your Majesty is not well!" A young eunuch hurriedly ran through the corridor, shouting all the way to the door of Yangxin Hall, but was stopped by the eunuch in charge.
The eunuch in charge slapped his face hard and said angrily: "You dog slave! How many heads do you dare to come here to act wild at this time? The emperor is not feeling well and he finally fell asleep. If you scare the emperor out, there will be some trouble.
Will you pay for it with your life?!"
The little eunuch couldn't care less about the pain on his face and cried: "Eunuch, go and tell the emperor quickly that Master Seven and Master Nine have been assassinated! Now the whole capital is in turmoil!!"
"What? You said that the seventh master and the ninth master were assassinated together?!" The eunuch in charge was startled, knowing that something was not going well. He turned around and pushed the door open and walked towards the emperor's bed.
"Your Majesty..." the eunuch in charge called softly.
Dugu Cheng was weak and had insomnia, and he was not sleeping well. When he heard the eunuch calling him, he slowly opened his eyes and asked weakly: "Why are you calling me so late? Cough cough cough cough cough..."
The eunuch in charge supported him and patted his back gently, "Your Majesty, the seventh and ninth masters were assassinated..."
"What..." Dugu Cheng said, then coughed violently, and finally calmed down. Dugu Cheng gasped and raised his head with difficulty and asked: "Do you know who did it?"
"I don't know yet, but for some reason the people in the capital know about it. Now there has been a turmoil and people are in panic..."
"Quick, summon Su Hu," Dugu Cheng stood up and ordered.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a scream from the servants outside, and then a very disheveled woman stumbled in. When she saw Dugu City, Concubine Yin ran over crying.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty makes the decision for your concubines, Your Majesty!"
"My beloved concubine, this is...cough cough cough..." Dugu Cheng saw Concubine Yin's embarrassed look and started coughing violently.
