There was a loud shout of 'there is an assassin', and there were mostly women in the palace. Everyone panicked when they heard it. Inevitably, the wine glasses were overturned, the bowls were knocked over, and there was a sudden uproar and chaos.
The prince hurriedly asked people to go out to check. Si Haochen came to Mingruo immediately and pulled her to sit beside him, which aroused the envy of all the noble ladies.
Everyone in the palace was panic-stricken, but fortunately, the imperial guards reported back soon, and no assassins were found outside the palace.
Afterwards, Chunxiang and the maids serving in the back hall helped the staggering eighth princess into the hall and found a seat to sit down.
Chunxiang knelt down and reported the situation - she was watching the princess rest in the palace, when four men in black broke in. They took the princess and hurried to the front palace.
The queen didn't even bother to hide the displeasure on her face. There should be a limit to Princess Mingyu's fuss. She has been keeping quiet today. The banquet is about to start, and an assassin has appeared again, insisting on disturbing the peach blossom banquet.
Not possible?
The queen said coldly: "Search for me, I want to see who is so bold that he dares to enter the palace to assassinate!"
The imperial guards quickly found the four secret guards in the apse, brought them in and threw them into the palace.
"Ah...ah..." These four secret guards caused a burst of screams from the female family members, and even the queen shrank down. This death was so miserable——
All four of them were blue-faced, with purple lips, and blood coming from their nostrils and eyes. It looked like they had been poisoned!
Ming Ruo frowned slightly, the eighth princess was quite vicious, even her own people were so ruthless. When they left the back hall just now, these people were not like this.
The eighth princess didn't think of this strategy, but these people were unconscious and couldn't leave on their own. And the place where she rested was not safe. If she didn't kill these secret guards, she would just throw them in the palace. If someone discovered them, it would be unclear.
Only by describing them as assassins without any evidence can we clear the relationship.
The eighth princess also weighed for a long time before she cut off her wrist and kept herself innocent first.
"It's really unlucky." Si Haochen led Mingruo to the queen, "The princess doesn't want to see this, I'll take the princess to leave first."
"..." Everyone was stunned for a while, watching helplessly as Prince Yun led Princess Yun away gracefully.
Princess Yunqin couldn't bear to see this. They were also very scared of this shocking tragic situation! They also wanted to leave, but the peach blossom banquet was hosted by the queen, and no one dared to leave at will.
The Queen rubbed her forehead, glared at Princess Mingyu, and said in a deep voice: "The Peach Blossom Banquet is here today, ladies and gentlemen, please go back to your homes first..."
Although no one wanted to stay with these four corpses, they didn't dare to go back home yet. The death of these four assassins was so horrifying that it was obvious that they were not killed by the Royal Forest Army. Who knew what was going on outside the palace?
Is there a more powerful assassin hidden?
The queen also noticed everyone's worries and looked at the prince.
The prince stood up and said, "I will lead the Royal Forest Army to search the inside and outside of Zhuohua Palace and its surroundings first. Make sure there is no danger before you ladies and gentlemen leave."
"My brother, I will go with His Highness the Crown Prince." The fourth prince stood up quickly.
"Okay." The prince nodded in agreement.
The queen ordered people to carry the body down, and called the palace maids and eunuchs to clean the floor. After cleaning it up, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The queen glanced at Princess Mingyu, who was sitting there crumbling. She looked too sick to pretend to be sick: "Princess Mingyu, can you see who poisoned these assassins?"
After all this torment, the eighth princess felt feverish again, and she felt drowsy. When she heard the queen's question, she suddenly shivered - she was indeed burned and she shouldn't have used that strong poison.
If it was known that he was carrying such a powerful poison with him and he poisoned four people in a row, he would definitely get a bad reputation as a vicious person. Now there is no other way but to deny it.
"Mingyu... I don't know..." The eighth princess raised her head, and the weakness on her face was not fake, "I was so dizzy that I couldn't see clearly. When the maid helped me out, it didn't seem like this..."
The queen couldn't find anything to ask, and Princess Mingyu looked like she was dying. It seemed very unkind to press the question herself, so she had to say: "Someone, please send Princess Mingyu back to the post house to rest."
"Yes." The eunuch in charge took the order and prepared a soft sedan to take Princess Mingyu out of the palace.
Mingruo and Si Haochen rode on shoulder carriages and walked along the wide palace road.
Si Haochen played with Mingruo's slender fingers: "Why did you spend so long with her in the back hall? She just knocked her unconscious after she pestered you."
"I am a gentle and kind little fairy, how could I do such bloody and violent things." Ming Ruo made a face at Si Haochen.
"Okay, I'll take care of the bloody and violent matters." Si Haochen took Mingruo into his arms, "My little fairy is only responsible for being gentle and kind."
"Hehe." Mingruo felt a little guilty after hearing Si Haochen say that he was 'gentle and kind'.
After all, she had done some dirty tricks to the Eighth Princess just now, and finally used the improved version of 'One Dream for Years' on the Eighth Princess. After the improvement, 'One Dream for Years' will cause people to age much slower, but
It also added a side effect, that is, nightmares after falling asleep.
The Eighth Princess poisoned herself and avoided it. If she could solve this improved version of Yi Meng Jing Nian, it would be considered the Eighth Princess's ability. Everyone can survive according to their own abilities, there is nothing wrong with it!
That night, a big event happened in Donghuan. The ten strongholds of the Evil Ghost Alliance in various parts of Donghuan were destroyed at the same time by the soldiers and horses of the five cities and the local government offices. Many killers were arrested and some people involved in the case were found.
'Dirty silver', and account books recording various illegal transactions.
In the morning of the next day, Emperor Danxu saw all kinds of evidence presented by the military commanders of the five cities, and his eyes felt dark.
Si Haochen went out to report: "After many investigations, it was found that the prince, the fourth prince and the third prince were assassinated, all related to the Evil Ghost Alliance. My brother ordered people to destroy their dens, search and exterminate the criminals, dirty money, and several account books.
After an all-night investigation and interrogation, it has been confirmed that the banknote paid by the person behind the scenes came from the Beichi boundary. This matter is of great importance. Please make your decision, Your Majesty."
Emperor Danxu never expected that Si Haochen would be so bold as to directly destroy all the forces of the Evil Ghost Alliance in Donghuan. If the Evil Ghost Alliance was an ordinary Jianghu force, how could it be spread across the four countries? It was backed by the Zhongzhou family.
, is the tacit secret of the royal families of various countries. Therefore, the Evil Ghost Alliance is entrenched in the four countries, and all countries can only turn a blind eye and dare not confront it head-on.
When Si Haochen revealed such a big mistake, Emperor Danxu was furious, but he could not blame him and reward him. After all, he handed over the assassination case of several princes to Si Haochen to investigate and ordered him to investigate and deal with it.
The murderer was brought to justice. Now Si Haochen not only caught the murderer, but also destroyed his lair, and the case was handled cleanly.
