Qian Gege was driven out by the guards of Prince Lian's palace. She struggled for a long time and couldn't help but get bruises all over her body.
When her maid was cleaning her at night, she frowned and asked: "Gege, where did you get these injuries? I remember that when I cleaned you the day before yesterday, there were no such injuries?"
Hearing this, Qian Gege couldn't help but feel guilty. He lowered his head and looked at the bruises on his body, and said coldly: "Today I saw a circus troupe that was very fun. I saw someone going up to try it out, so I followed suit, and the result was...
This whole body is bruised."
The maid believed it to be true, and then comforted her in a low voice: "Then Gege should be more careful in the future, those circus troupes are all very strong."
Zhang Jiazhuyue heard the conversation between the two outside the house. What Qian Gege said about the vaudeville troupe made her a little suspicious. She had never heard of a vaudeville troupe inviting spectators to try it out when she was at home, nor had she seen it.
After Qian Gege finished washing, the maid personally handed her a white embroidered scarf to put on her body, and then personally put down her bun. Only then did Qian Gege go to her bed with satisfaction.
At this time, two masked men in black crossed over from the east wall of Prince Heng's Mansion. They looked around for a while and saw no one around.
One of the men in black said to the other: "The house that man lives in should be this way, right?"
"No, it should be this way. I saw with my own eyes that woman entered from the east today." Another person quickly retorted, then raised his hand and pointed in a low voice in the opposite direction to what the person just said.
The other man in black had no choice but to agree: "Okay, then go as you say. Let's finish our errands and leave here as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be bad to be discovered by the guards of the palace."
The two of them walked in the dark to the east of Prince Heng's Mansion, only to find that not a single light was on in the huge courtyard. They both murmured in their hearts: "You're not going the wrong way, are you?"
As soon as they finished wondering, they heard some noise coming from the yard, which seemed to be a woman's voice.
The man in black walking in front quickly said seriously: "Look, I'm right, that person must live in this courtyard."
The man in black at the back carefully looked around, and after making sure there was nothing unusual, he frowned and said, "Okay, let's do it quickly!"
The man in black in front turned to look at him and said, "Why are you so anxious? We have to see if there are other people in the yard, so as not to hurt innocent people."
"That's what eldest brother said."
After the two of them finished speaking, they continued to walk quietly into the courtyard.
One of the men in black just raised his knife and was about to pry open the door bolt, but the door bolt was not inserted, and the two men pushed the door open.
The two looked at each other in shock for a while in the dark night, but when they entered the room, there was no one there.
After searching for three rooms in a row, both of them were empty. The two of them were completely confused.
After pushing open the fourth room, the two of them were so frightened by the scene in front of them that they almost screamed. They saw a disheveled woman sitting on the ground with her back to the two of them. After they regained their composure, they quickly raised their knives.
, walked softly towards the woman.
When the two of them were about to get close to the woman, the woman made a "hehehehe" sound. The two men in black felt nervous. One of them said "Ah" in fright. The other saw that the situation was not good and immediately raised his knife and pointed at her.
The woman sitting on the ground was stabbed in the back.
The maid who heard the exclamation in the next room yawned, got up and put on a coat to go out to take a look. As soon as she opened the door, she saw two men in black walking out of the next room, both of them still holding hands.
Hold the knife.
She was so shocked that she immediately shouted, "Come quickly! There is an assassin! Come quickly! There is an assassin!"
When the two men in black were discovered, they immediately fled the yard. The frightened maid rushed into the house. The house was dark. She lit the candle with trembling hands, but found that the person in the house had fallen.
There was a pool of blood on the ground next to it.
She screamed in fright, and the guards patrolling nearby heard the sound and ran to the yard where the accident occurred.
As a result, they had just taken a few steps when they saw two sneaky men in black passing in front of them.
Several guards shouted: "Stop!"
When the two men in black saw the guards chasing after them, they screamed inwardly and sped up their escape. The guards were well trained and they soon caught up with them.
After a struggle between several people, one of them, the man in black, took advantage of the chaos and escaped, while the other one was captured by the guards.
There was quite a commotion about the appearance of assassins in Prince Heng's Mansion late at night. When Yinqi and Wanyue, who were far away in Xinan Pavilion, heard the guards standing at the door reporting the incident, they were a little unbelievable. After all, this was the first time they had established the mansion for so long.
I met someone who came to the house to assassinate me.
Yinqi and Wanyue put on their coats one after another, and when they arrived at the main hall of Xinuan Pavilion, they called for the head guard to come in.
Yinqi looked at him with a puzzled look on his face, "Tell me, what's going on?"
Wanyue was also very curious, so she came with Yinqi to listen.
"When the slaves were patrolling the east courtyard, they heard someone yelling about assassins in the direction of Dongnuang Pavilion. We went over to check and met the two assassins who were escaping. We had a fierce battle with them.
It's a pity that only one of them was caught and has been taken care of, and the other one escaped." The guard leader replied carefully.
"There are so many of you arresting two assassins, but you actually let one of them escape?" Yinqi originally sat and listened to the report from the leader of the guards, but after listening to it, he couldn't sit still, and he didn't know if he could learn from this.
Useful information was found on the captured assassin.
Wanyue felt that Yinqi seemed to have missed the point, and hurriedly raised her hand and asked the guard: "You mean you heard someone calling for assassins in Dongnuan Pavilion? Did the two assassins come out of Dongnuan Pavilion? Dongnuan Pavilion
Where are the people in Nuan Pavilion?"
The leader of the guards lowered his head, thinking of what he had seen after catching the man in black and taking people to Dongnuan Pavilion, he couldn't help but tremble all over, hesitating whether he should tell the matter.
Seeing his hesitation, Yinqi couldn't help but frowned, "What? What happened to Dongnuan Pavilion?"
The leader of the guards frowned tightly. Sooner or later, the prince and Fujin would know about the matter, so he simply took the risk.
"The master of Dongnuan Pavilion was stabbed to death from the back by two men in black! The maid who took care of her has fainted."
This news shocked both Wanyue and Yinqi. They really couldn't imagine that someone would take the life of a madman.
After a while, Yinqi regained his composure, raised his hand to the leader of the guards and ordered: "Go down! You will interrogate the man in black tomorrow, and you must ask who sent him.
What is the purpose of the assassination at the Prince's Mansion?"
After saying that, the leader of the guards retreated.
Wanyue turned to look at Yinqi and saw that his expression was very ugly. Wanyue also sighed and said uneasily: "Why are there so many things going on in the house recently? Aunt Wang accidentally fell to her death before. Now,
Something like this happened again in Dongnuan Pavilion, and an assassin actually entered the palace. This matter must be investigated clearly, otherwise everyone in the palace will have trouble sleeping and eating."
Yinqi nodded towards her, looked at the sky outside, and then responded: "It's still early now, so go back and sleep for a while. The two assassins at night have made the house uneasy."
, I will personally look at the captured assassin and ask questions tomorrow."
Wanyue also knew very well that this matter must be investigated. In fact, she was more worried that the two assassins were sent by the prince to murder Yinqi.
