Looking at Yuan Che's cleverness, I'm afraid there will be a drama in this palace soon, "Yesterday you were indifferent to me, today I will make it impossible for you to climb up"?
Sheng Shaoqing didn't expose his little one, only told him not to go too far, and asked He Yuning to keep an eye on Yuan Che, and then let the two children go out to play.
Looking at Yuan Che's back as he ran out, Sheng Shaoqing sighed at how powerful his nature was, how he got used to being a mother so quickly.
Yuan Che gradually ran away, and Cui Yun's figure coming from outside the hospital gradually grew larger. It wasn't until she walked in front of Sheng Shaoqing that Sheng Shaoqing withdrew his eyes and focused on Cui Yun's face.
Well, after a few days of rest, the dark circles under my eyes have indeed improved a lot. Now Forsythia has nothing to say and she can't exploit Cui Yun anymore.
"Didn't I give you five days' leave? Why are you back today?"
Cui Yun smiled shyly, "Wei Chen, I really can't stay idle."
She felt comfortable as soon as she had some free time, but within half a day, seeing Forsythia and Aning busy coming in and out, she could only drink tea and sleep in the house. She felt as if she was being scratched by a cat and felt uncomfortable.
Gotta be tight.
She wanted to help them, but Aning and Forsythia persuaded her to come back every time. They carried her back to the house and refused to let her work. After three days of hard work, she finally found an opportunity to sneak back.
Sheng Shaoqing wanted to hold a commendation meeting for Cui Yun's model worker spirit. It turns out that there are people in this world who really like to go to work.
Before he and Cui Yun could say a few words, a burst of hurried footsteps gradually approached. They both turned around to look, and saw Aning walking in with a pale complexion. Aning saw that there were only the Queen Mother and Cui Yun in the palace, hiding behind them.
He came to the door panting and said directly, "The Queen Mother, Princess Linyang reported secretly that Shen Gui, the Northern Privy Envoy, was assassinated and is now in critical condition. She asked the Queen Mother to send a few trustworthy doctors to the Princess Mansion to help with treatment."
"I guess Princess Linyang's chariot is coming soon."
Cui Yun didn't expect that he would encounter such a big event just after returning to work in the New Year. He was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time. Sheng Shaoqing was also stunned on the spot.
No, she remembers the script, shouldn't the plot be like this?
How did this turn into Shen Gui’s assassination?
However, if you think about it from another perspective, it is quite relieved that the heartless man was stabbed a few times.
"Did Princess Linyang say anything else?"
Aning shook his head, "The matter is urgent, and the princess only sent a verbal message. The other matters should be reported to you personally by the princess."
"Is the messenger reliable?"
Aning nodded, "It was the people from the princess's residence who brought the pass card directly into the inner palace, and the maid went to pick it up in person. The princess would not use this pass card unless it was an emergency."
Sheng Shaoqing felt a little relieved. Shen Gui's status was special. If the news were leaked, it would probably cause an uproar. Publicly and privately, the news of his assassination should not be leaked too early.
Cui Yun came to his senses and said quickly, "Weichen will arrange for some tight-lipped imperial doctors to go to the princess's mansion."
Sheng Shaoqing nodded and said to Aning, "Change my clothes. The Ai family wants to meet the princess in the side hall."
An Ning took the order and went to get some clothes from the shelf to put on for Sheng Shaoqing. Sheng Shaoqing closed her eyes and relaxed, thinking about who could assassinate Shen Gui under the nose of Princess Linyang?
Ji Baochuan?
Or Ji Wenxuan?
Or is he Shen Gui's own enemy?
Ji Baochuan was the first to be eliminated by Sheng Shaoqing. She was a weak woman with no power to restrain a chicken. She had already failed in an assassination attempt last time. Shen Gui should have been wary of her. It couldn't be her.
What's more, I heard from Princess Lin Yang that for fear that something would happen to them again, the courtyards arranged for the two couples were thousands of miles apart. Even if Sun Wukong was reincarnated, he would have to do seven or eight somersaults before they could see each other, so Ji Baochuan's The suspicion is not high.
What about Ji Wenxuan?
Could it be that after hearing about the grievances his daughter had suffered over the years and seeing Shen Gui in Princess Linyang's mansion, he became so angry that he chopped up Shen Gui and planned to feed it to the fish?
Soon, Sheng Shaoqing ruled out this option.
If Ji Wenxuan, that little old man, could explode and kill Shen Gui, a man who was in his prime and had experienced many battles, then Sheng Shaoqing would really have learned a lot.
However, Sheng Shaoqing never thought that Ji Wenxuan sent people to assassinate Shen Gui. If his IQ only supported him to solve the problem by paying for murder, he would have died hundreds of times.
Then the only option left is Shen Gui's own enemies, but no wonder they are in Beiliang.
Before Sheng Shaoqing could think deeply, Princess Lin Yang's chariot had already rushed to the door.
"Sister-in-law! Something happened!"
Seeing that Princess Linyang was sweating profusely and the gold hairpins on her head were scattered, Sheng Shaoqing guessed that the incident had happened suddenly and she must have panicked, so she immediately entered the palace.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, take your breath first and then talk."
Princess Lin Yang grabbed the tea cup on the plate of Aning who came in to serve tea and poured it down. However, she was born in the royal family after all. With such a rude action, she did not spill a drop of water and placed the tea cup firmly on Ah Ning. On Ning's tray.
An Ning was stunned by Princess Linyang's smooth movements. How could the teacup in her hand be empty with just a gust of wind?
"It's Lin Yang who's rude."
Princess Linyang didn't remember to apologize until she finished drinking. She calmed down and sat down.
Sheng Shaoqing thought to herself that Princess Lin Yang really didn't regard herself as an outsider now, but this was good.
"Now tell Aijia what happened?"
Princess Lin Yang calmed her tone and said, "Lin Yang has always thought that the guards in her palace were barely among the top three among the princes and princesses in Beijing. After all, the eldest princess of Hengyang was assassinated because of neglect of precautions. Later, the late emperor removed all the guards from the sisters' mansion. The guards were replaced by palace guards, but Lin Yang didn't expect that even so, an assassination could happen in my mansion."
"Shen Gui didn't bring many followers with him when he entered the capital that day. One was because he was afraid of arousing the suspicion of the leader of the Helian Kingdom, and the other was because he was afraid of making too much noise and attracting attention. He took every precaution, but he didn't take any precautions at all. Tonight, As soon as night fell, I heard a strange noise coming from his yard, which sounded like the sound of swords."
"I was a little scared, so I asked someone to go investigate with me. Unexpectedly, Shen Gui fell in the yard covered in blood, and his followers were also seriously injured, and they were all unconscious. .And the people who assassinated them were probably dead soldiers. After the assassination, they all committed suicide by taking poison. Those who were still breathing at the end were already cold by the time I left."
"What about the people in your house being injured?"
Princess Lin Yang frowned and shook her head, "No one was hurt."
If there is one, there really is one. When she called for guards, a servant accidentally bumped into them because of panic and was slashed by the guards who rushed over. After questioning, it was just a misunderstanding, so he was Put it back.
Sheng Shaoqing asked doubtfully, "Logically, the guards in your house are directly under the imperial guards with outstanding skills. You will also send people to protect Shen Gui. Why is it that only his people are dead and injured?"
Princess Lin Yang explained, "After the incident, I also went to interrogate the leaders of the guards who were on duty tonight. They only said that they were handing over their shifts at that time. When they rushed over, they were not far away from when I rushed over. .So, they don’t know what happened.”
"So, the only people who know what happened are those brought by Shen Gui himself????"
Now that Shen Gui is unconscious, no one knows what happened tonight? And who assassinated him?
Princess Lin Yang nodded with difficulty, "The rest of the Zhan affairs in the Princess Mansion are also being investigated. It is impossible for those assassins to appear out of thin air, but it will take time... Lin Yang entered the palace just to ask what the Queen Mother meant. Yesterday, the same How did Prime Minister Ji discuss it? Did he accept the favor?"
"Yesterday he suddenly came to my house. I didn't talk much with him. He was just anxious to see Baochai, so..."
After hearing what Princess Lin Yang said, Sheng Shaoqing was convinced that Ji Wenxuan definitely did not want to give up on Ji Baochuan, but wanted to save her from the sea of suffering.
"Originally..." Sheng Shaoqing sighed, "Prime Minister Ji wanted to sever the relationship with Baochuan. If Shen Gui failed to use Baochuan, and he disappeared for such a long time, the leader of the Helian Kingdom would also be suspicious, and he would be able to He forced back..."
"I didn't expect..."
Suddenly, Shen Gui's life and death are unknown. If Helian takes this opportunity to cause trouble, Sheng Shaoqing will be the one to blame.
Princess Lin Yang also understood, "Does Prime Minister Ji want to pretend to sever ties with Baochuan?"
Sheng Shaoqing nodded, and Princess Lin Yang said with a look of sudden realization, "No wonder father and daughter had a long argument yesterday, and then Baochuan ran out crying."
"To be able to send someone to assassinate Shen Gui in your house, this person must have great hands and eyes. With such a group of desperadoes under his command, his identity must not be simple. Does this Shen Gui have any enemies in Beiliang?"
Princess Lin Yang shook her head decisively and said, "He lived in Beiliang not long ago. Later, after marrying Ji Baochuan, he went to Helian within a few years. Even if he had an enemy at that time, a beggar's enemy, how could he have such great ability? Have you remembered for so many years that Shen Gui came to assassinate him as soon as he entered Beiliang?"
"Then...is it possible that he is from Helian?"
As soon as Sheng Shaoqing said this, Princess Linyang was silent for a long time. After a long time, she finally said, "Sister-in-law means that someone in Helian already knew about Shen Gui's coming to Beiliang and sent someone to assassinate him? Borrowing Shen Gui's help If you don't take Helian's chance, get rid of Shen Gui."
Sheng Shaoqing sighed, "That's all I'm afraid of. It's more than that."
Princess Lin Yang recalled what the Queen Mother had said before that Helian might have turned against her, and gasped, "Could it be that they want to use Shen Gui to cause trouble?!"
Princess Lin Yang couldn't help but regretted, "I shouldn't have helped if I told you to do this. Helping has caused a lot of things. Who knew that Ji Baochuan's husband would be Shen Gui, and who knew that Helian was going to cause all this?!"
Sheng Shaoqing smiled bitterly and said, "I already knew it was hard to buy, so why not think about what to do now?"
"If it is said that Helian sent someone to assassinate him, this theory is not without problems. How did he know that Shen Gui was in your princess's mansion, how did he find out the handover time of your princess's mansion, and how did these dead soldiers enter you? Princess Mansion, these must be investigated as soon as possible."
Princess Lin Yang nodded solemnly, "Lin Yang has already ordered us to find out as soon as possible, but do we need to inform Dali Temple about this matter?"
"Lin Yang is worried that the people under Lin Yang are slow in their actions and cannot compare to Dali Temple."
Sheng Shaoqing shook his head, "This matter cannot be left to Dali Temple in the open. Shen Gui's identity and origin have come to light. I am in the open and the enemy is in the dark, so I am helpless. Today I just I have written my credentials and plan to submit them to Helian tomorrow, but it seems that I have to put them on hold."
Princess Lin Yang suddenly remembered something and said, "Those dead soldiers seem to be from Helian."
"Why is this?"
Princess Lin Yang hesitated and said, "Lin Yang can't be sure, but Lin Yang has seen real Helian people. Their body shapes and looks are different from ours, and those dead soldiers are all tall and tall, with thick eyebrows and The bridge of the nose is high and straight, so he must be from a good family background!"
"Queen Mother! They are indeed!"
Sheng Shaoqing was not sure, so he comforted Princess Linyang who suddenly became nervous and said, "It doesn't mean anything that they are Helian people. Whether it is Beiliang or Nanjing, it is not uncommon for many aristocratic families to hire Helian people as bodyguards. This group of It’s unknown which family he is a dead soldier from, but apart from Helian, the secret envoy of the Nanshu, the Ai family couldn’t think of anyone else who could kill Shen Gui.”
"Using Shen Gui to get rid of him in Beiliang not only threatens my own people, but also allows Helian to blackmail me in Beiliang. This strategy is really vicious!" Princess Linyang gritted her teeth. , "In this way, even if the leader of the Helian Kingdom knows that it was the Nanshu Secret Envoy who did it, I am afraid that he will not go into details. After all, Shen Gui died in our Beiliang. After all, Helian will benefit, so sacrificing a little Shen Gui is nothing. This is really a foolproof strategy.”
Sheng Shaoqing also thought of this just now. If the speculation just now is true, this secret envoy Nan is really a poisonous snake. If he bites him, he will lose his skin even if he is dead!
"If it is true, the letter of credence sent by King Helian to hold him accountable will not be far away."
Princess Lin Yang said angrily, "How dare they?!"
"Shen Gui came to Beiliang with a bad name. He didn't have a customs clearance warrant or submit credentials from both sides. Even if you didn't hold them accountable, they still dare to question you?!"
When she remembered that in order to let Shen Gui enter the customs as soon as possible, she had not followed the normal procedures in a hurry and used some special means to let him in, Princess Lin Yang's intestines almost turned green with regret.
This is not a reunion of husband and wife, a reunion after a broken relationship, this is simply inviting a wolf into the house and asking for trouble!
But Sheng Shaoqing figured out the key and said, "Why don't they dare? They only said that Shen Gui was returning to his hometown to visit relatives and had nothing to do with state affairs, but he was killed in Beiliang. Then they opened their mouths and asked us to pay them a privy envoy." .Also, add another story about returning to his hometown to find his wife. After Shen Gui became famous in Helian, he wanted to take his wife back to Helian to enjoy happiness, but was brutally murdered in the capital of Beiliang. Do you think this story is touching enough?"
Princess Lin Yang trembled all over at the possible shameless remarks, and kept saying, "They dare! They dare!"
"Don't you think about it, why did he come back now after so many years?"
Princess Linyang became anxious and used the same rhetoric Sheng Shaoqing used to criticize her.
Sheng Shaoqing shrugged, "Didn't you believe it back then?"
