A long black arrow suddenly shot out from nowhere and hit the emperor's chest.
"Hmm~"
The emperor groaned, and the pain from the arrow piercing his flesh made him wake up instantly.
But before he could say anything, several black figures appeared in front of him, each holding a sword in his hand and trying to kill him.
"Come here, there is an assassin!!!"
The sense of danger of death was so frightening that cold sweat broke out on the emperor's back and the hair on his hair stood up. Fortunately, the shadow guards hidden in the palace appeared one after another in the next second. The two sides fought, and the shadows of swords and swords floated on the wall in a thrilling way.
The emperor was dragged by the shadow to a safe corner to stay.
After a hard fight, the guards outside were also alerted and rushed here. Seeing that the situation was not good, the assassins ran away and climbed up from the wall to the roof. They walked on it as if they were walking smoothly, and left the palace after a short time.
Upon seeing this, the Shadow Guards gave chase, and Shadow followed suit.
About half an hour later, the shadow guards all returned to the emperor.
At this time, he was receiving treatment from the imperial doctor. The wound on his chest was not too deep. He could pull it out and apply some medicine, and it would heal after a while.
But it hurts!
The emperor gritted his teeth in pain, and when he saw the shadow guards, he asked, "Has the assassin been caught?"
"The subordinates are incompetent. The opponent's Qinggong is so good that he got rid of all his subordinates. Only the shadow master is still following." A shadow guard said in a low voice.
"If you don't protect the master well, you will go down to receive the punishment yourself." The emperor said angrily.
After waiting for another two-quarters of an hour, the shadow came back. The emperor immediately asked, "Is he an assassin sent by Prince Zhen'an?"
"no."
"Prince's Mansion?"
"No."
Shadow shook his head and explained: "My subordinates tracked them all the way out. These assassins did indeed enter the Prince's Mansion, but after staying for a while, they all returned to Prince Yun's Mansion."
"What?"
The emperor shouted in shock and anger: "Have you seen it with your own eyes?"
"My subordinates saw it with their own eyes. The assassins disappeared as soon as they entered Prince Yun's Mansion. I couldn't find them, so I had no choice but to turn back."
Cloud King?
How could it be him?
The emperor frowned, no, it was not impossible.
King Yun, the second oldest, has always had a lot of fun fighting for the throne, and he is bold and wild-minded.
Now that the prince is dead and a new prince has not yet been established, he pretends to be a dead soldier left behind by the prince to assassinate him. If it succeeds, the second son can directly ascend the throne; if it fails, he can also blame the prince.
As soon as you grow up, you want to kick the nest?
Go live his thousand-year dream!
The emperor sneered gloomily, "Very good, what a good King Yun. Shadow, you and your people will do it tonight..."
"Your Majesty, Yue You wishes to see you."
Eunuch Zhao suddenly came in and whispered.
Moonlight?
The emperor frowned and said, "Tell her to come in."
Qiao Jinhuan lowered his head and walked in. After looking at the shadow, he half-knelt to plead guilty, "Your Majesty, this subordinate is guilty. I just saw the news about the hidden secrets of Prince Yun's Mansion. Prince Yun spent one million taels half a month ago.
Gold, and recruited a group of Jianghu killers to assassinate the prince."
Charlatan killer?
No wonder he left when he saw the situation was not right tonight. He was not as fearless of death as a dead soldier.
The second brother saw that the prince was dead and didn't want to waste the one million gold, so he used the killer on him?
"Bang!"
The wrench in the emperor's hand hit Qiao Jinhuan's head, "What did you do? Such big news was announced just now!"
If he had known it earlier, how could he not be prepared at all?
"My subordinate was still in Xingcheng with the prince at that time." Qiao Jinhuan smiled helplessly, "This subordinate neglected his duty, please punish me."
Too.
Xingcheng is far away, so it's normal that we can't take care of it.
But the emperor couldn't swallow this breath, so he asked Qiao Jinhuan and Ying Ying to go down with all the shadow guards to receive the punishment.
Not long after, the group of people returned to the underground palace. After going to Xing's territory and receiving dozens of whips, they dispersed.
"What a big loss."
Shadow sighed softly and turned his eyes to Qiao Jinhuan.
Qiao Jinhuan used her skill to throw a wooden box into his arms, "Antidote. Give me another group of people to go to the imperial mausoleum in three days to get the prince out."
Shadow hurriedly put away the wooden box like jewels, and nodded excitedly, "I will listen to you, I will listen to you."
What are dozens of whips?
These people have been accustomed to it since they were young.
Saying that, Shadow looked at Qiao Jinhuan again, "Is it really the antidote?"
"Why don't you go out and see a doctor tomorrow and you'll know?"
Makes sense.
Shadow said softly, "Hmm," and then asked, "What happens after the person is rescued? Where to put him?"
"Bring him back to Beijing overnight," Qiao Jinhuan took out a land deed from his sleeve and handed it to him, "Just bring him here."
The rest has nothing to do with them.
After this assassination, the emperor almost hated King Yun to death. As soon as he caught the happy King Yun, he gave him a blow and said, "Your eldest brother just left, and you still dare to laugh in the court? That's what you expected."
Do you want your elder brother to die? Do you think his death is good?"
King Yun:???
"Father, I have absolutely no intention of doing this!"
King Yun hurriedly apologized, but in his heart he asked what happened to the old man today? Did he have a convulsion? The prince suppressed the other party when he was alive, but once he died, the old man took him as his beloved?
The emperor didn't give him any chance at all, told the news of his assassination with a straight face, and then put King Yun into solitary confinement.
At this level, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
When did Prince Zhenan get involved with his sixth son, Prince Xuan?
OK!
No wonder the Queen had a quarrel with Crown Prince Zhenan yesterday, and the Queen even scolded him for being restless. The Crown Prince had just died, and Prince Zhenan’s Palace had already found a new home?
Lao Liu has a cowardly and dull character. When the time comes, it’s not just what Prince Zhen’an says. His family wants to blackmail the emperor and order the princes!
Rebellious traitor, traitorous traitor!!!
The emperor's eyes almost sparkled when he looked at Prince Zhen'an.
What made him even more angry was that, in addition to the second and sixth princes, the other princes also began to win over the courtiers. The prince did not suppress him, and their actions were even more blatant.
This really made the emperor so angry that he spent several days in a row focusing on balancing the power in the court and had no intention of paying attention to the queen at all.
The queen took the opportunity to cut through the mess quickly and quickly sent Gu Changsheng to the imperial mausoleum.
That night, the secret door of the imperial mausoleum that had not been touched for years was suddenly opened. The guards guarding the mausoleum did not notice any problem and were still patrolling around lifelessly.
The long light in the mausoleum was on, and the shadow guards looked at the coffin made of golden nanmu in the center, and they all looked at each other.
You go up.
You go up!
It's better you go.
A group of people stood at the edge and hesitated.
After a long while, a man stretched out his hand and tremblingly pushed the unnailed coffin lid, muttering silently, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has offended us. We didn't mean to do it. It was the leader who asked us to come. You have to blame us."
Just blame the leader. Our leader's name is Shadow, and his birth date is..."
