Chapter 43 The Assassin in the Palace

She did not leave the palace today, but Princess Anfeng came into the palace to find her.

Yuan Qingling thought of the shadow she saw in the fourth master's mansion last night. She knew that she was either a dazzler or that Princess Anfeng came back many years later to see the person she cared about.

After inviting the princess to take a seat in the main hall and serving tea, the princess directly stated the purpose of her visit, "We are going back tomorrow. Is there anything you need me to pass on, or anything you want me to take back?"

"You want to go back?"

Yuan Qingling was startled for a moment. Didn't he say that she wanted to stay here?

"I have something to do. I have to go back. I'll be back."

The princess said.

"oh!"

Yuan Qing, Ling Shaoan, if you really go back and never come back, won’t the old man be so angry?

"You might as well ask Lao Wu if he wants to bring a message to the children. I heard your great-uncle say that when they were talking last night, Lao Wu always talked about the children. He probably misses them too much."

"Okay, I'll go back and ask him, when will you go back?

What are you going to do?”

"Take Chu Xiaowu back for a checkup. After he went back last night, he complained of a headache. After careful questioning, I found out that he has been having headaches recently. In fact, he should have gone back for a checkup long ago. I discussed it with your grandmother, and she also suggested

He said it would be better to go back and check it out, so don’t delay and go right away.”

The princess said.

"Have a headache?

Does it matter?"

Yuan Qingling became nervous.

The princess said: "Just in case something bad happens, I go get a checkup as soon as possible. If I know the problem, I can treat it immediately."

Yuan Qingling nodded quickly, "Yes, that's right, that's all right, I'll leave it to you as the first assistant, thank you."

The princess glanced at her and said, "I'm really not used to you saying these words to me. I've been responsible for the children I've raised since childhood... That's not it. After all, I've been absent."

Yuan Qingling could see that the princess had some regrets. This regret was that she was not always by their side.

But no matter what, they are now spending their remaining years together.

Yuan Qingling asked: "Are the Supreme Emperor and Duke Xiaoyao going?"

The princess said: "As soon as they heard that they were taking Chu Xiaowu for inspection, they packed their things immediately."

Yuan Qing Ling laughed, yes, we agreed that the old man would advance and retreat together, so naturally he would accompany him.

When Lao Wu came back for lunch, Yuan Qingling mentioned to him that the princess was going back and asked him if he had anything to say to the children.

Yu Wenhao naturally has a thousand words to say, but when he wrote it down, he just told him to study hard, not to cause trouble, and not to think too much about his family and his father. Then, he filled in the rest with things about his younger sister, so as not to look like this.

The letter has too few words.

After writing the letter, he asked Gu Si to take it out to the princess in person.

The next day, the princess and the others set off for Jinghu Lake.

Three days later, the letter was delivered to the children. They rushed to read it, especially the paragraph about my sister. After reading it several times, I missed my sister.

However, Baozi finally let out a sigh, "Daddy told us not to miss him too much, but we don't think about him too much. Daddy is used to being sentimental."

Tang Yuan held her chin, "I miss my sister so much."

When Tangyuan said this, the brothers all held their chins, yes, I miss my sister so much. It would be great if my sister were here.

The princess took her chief assistant to check, and found that the Supreme Emperor and Duke Xiaoyao were still living in the original building, helping to take care of the children, or occasionally going to pay filial piety to Master Hui Zong.

Over in the Northern Tang Dynasty, Lu Yuan and Xiao Hongchen had already gone to Fengdu City. When they arrived, they launched a vigorous crackdown. The crackdown was indeed very effective, but it caused some remnants to escape and go straight to the capital.

After all, Lu Yuan was a new official, and he was not as familiar with the terrain as Yan Zhiyu's diehard loyalists. They also had certain connections in Fengdu City. After escaping, Lu Yuan received the news. He was worried that they would go to Beijing to assassinate the emperor, so he immediately spread the news.

The book has arrived in Beijing.

Yu Wenhao received a letter from Fei Ge, which stated that people coming to Beijing would be strictly investigated and checkpoints were set up at the city gates. Anyone who came to Beijing from other places or came from Fengdu City and used force would be strictly investigated.

Yu Wenhao was still a little worried. According to Fourth Master, many of the people who came to attend Yan Zhiyu’s birthday banquet that day were people from the martial arts world. These people did not protect Yan Zhiyu that day, probably because they did not expect the matter to be so serious. Later, something happened to Yan Zhiyu, and Fengdu City

They were immediately controlled by Prince Anfeng, and they had no choice but to do anything for a while.

But after all, he has been favored by Yan Zhiyu for a long time. People in Jianghu are very loyal, so they may not avenge Yan Zhiyu. Especially, not all of Yan Zhiyu's die-hard subordinates have been brought to justice. This is a hidden danger after all.

The biggest reason why Yu Wenhao is so worried is that Lao Yuan always has to go out of the palace to go to the hospital, and he never likes to have people around him. If he encounters an assassination, Lao Yuan's martial arts is so unsatisfactory, something may happen.

Therefore, after ordering a strict investigation, Xu Yi and Gu Si were asked to accompany Yuan Qingling in and out of the palace to prevent being attacked by the enemy.

In fact, he vaguely knew that his wife was not what she used to be, but he was used to her past tricks and tricks, so he couldn't feel at ease unless he sent a few more people to protect her.

Yuan Qingling naturally had no objection, he just wanted peace of mind.

There are always loopholes in Chengmen's screening. After all, who the other party will pretend to be and what kind of evidence they have obtained, Chengmen and Jingzhao Mansion know nothing about it. It is always good to be careful, so,

She also asked Leng Zhai to strengthen their defense, fearing that someone would do harm to Aunt Leng.

After going in and out for a few days, everything was calm. Yu Wenhao did not take it lightly and let people continue to follow Yuan Qingling.

He actually wanted Lao Yuan not to go out, but the medical department was refining medicine at a critical moment, and Lao Yuan would definitely not agree not to go out for the time being, so he just strengthened his defense secretly.

However, the enemy's target is not Queen Yuan Qingling, but Emperor Yu Wenhao.

That night, several assassins sneaked into the palace and entered Xiaoyue Palace. The Imperial Guards and the assassins fought. Yu Wenhao and Yuan Qingling were also awakened. Yu Wenhao stood up with his clothes on, and Eunuch Mu Ru quickly walked in.

, "Your Majesty, there are assassins who have sneaked in, but there are not many of them. The Imperial Army will take down the assassins. Your Majesty, please rest assured."

Yu Wenhao frowned, "How come you didn't know it even after entering Xiaoyue Palace?"

"The enemy's Qinggong was too good, and it was late at night, so the imperial army didn't notice it for a while. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Eunuch Mu Ru knelt down on one knee and said.

"Is there anyone guarding the princess?"

Mu Rugong said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that the assassin has not gone there. After Gu Si discovered the assassin, he immediately sent someone to guard her. The princess will be fine. Moreover, these assassins are only light-gong and strong. The old slave saw Master Gu

It’s almost under control.”

Yu Wenhao's eyes darkened, "Send the order and keep him alive. I want to personally interrogate you!"

The palace was heavily guarded and patrolled in all directions. It would not be easy for an assassin to break in, unless someone deliberately made a loophole and let the assassin in.

Yuan Qingling also came over wearing clothes and said: "I'm going to Guagua's place to have a look."

"Okay, I'll go with you!"

Yu Wenhao said.

The couple quickly walked along the corridor to Guagua's room. They saw more than ten forbidden soldiers guarding the door, including Snow Wolf and Tiger. When the forbidden soldiers saw them coming, they hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

"Is there any movement inside?

Did you wake up the princess?"

Yu Wenhao asked anxiously.

The Imperial Guard replied, "If I return to the Emperor, the assassin has never come here. When I came over, I moved very gently so as not to wake the princess as much as possible, and the wet nurse did not get up. The princess should still be sleeping soundly at this moment."
