Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 123 Assassin

Seeing a team of imperial guards escorting Sun Duzhong and the little eunuch out of Changping Palace, Lin Zisu's heart was inexplicably tightened.

The scene from Kunning Palace in the previous life suddenly appeared in front of me. The bright blood color, although I have passed for a lifetime, is still vivid in my mind.

The night was covered with overwhelming stars, and the sky was shining in the sky, just like the vast world, some flashed by in the sky, while others were forever bright and immortal.

Changping Palace has been uninhabited for many years. After Lin Zisu moved in, she just cleaned up her clothes. Except for the main hall and the two side halls, the rest were still overgrown and deserted.

The summer night was bored, and there was no cool breeze. The sound of insects sounded everywhere, adding a bit of weirdness to the night.

Lin Zisu only left more than a dozen guards, and the remaining imperial guards were sent to Sun Duzhong.

Liu Huang was busy preparing bath water for Lin Zisu in the house. Only Xixiang was by his side in the huge yard. Lin Zisu couldn't help but feel a chill. Tong Xixiang said, "Let's go in the house."

Before Lin Zisu could turn around, she heard a heavy voice shouting outside the yard: "Miss Lin, something happened! Something happened to Dr. Sun!"

What should come or is it? Lin Zisu's heart was terrified, and she ran towards the door of the yard. She saw a man who looked like a guard and was stopped outside by four guards and shouting at him.

Lin Zisu caught up and stood there more than 10 meter away at the entrance of the courtyard. The guard looked familiar, and thought that he was one of the guards who accompanied him every day. Lin Zisu shouted softly: "What the hell is going on!"

"Let's go to the West Three First!"

The other four imperial guards were anxious when they heard that Sun Duzhong was assassinated. They were Cao Shouli's instructions and they must ensure the safety of Sun Duzhong's master and apprentice.

Lin Zisu's answer to this guard was very agreeing with that the princes were the residence of the princes in the palace. Now that there is no queen mother, in addition to the emperor and empress, the guards of the Western Three are naturally tightly guarded.

Although her voice was low, it was very majestic. The guard looked shy and said to Lin Zisu through the guard: "Miss Lin, Doctor Sun was assassinated on the way to Qianqing Palace. The assassin had a very strong kung fu,

A dozen brothers went to stop him together, but they still didn't stop him."

Deputy Commander Jiang thought that Deputy Commander Xiong was just taking advantage of the name of an assassin to come here to ask for people, so he did not take the assassin's affairs to heart. He was also shocked when Lin Zisu said this.

Deputy Commander Jiang still didn't know what happened. When he heard that there was an assassin, he frowned and said, "Since you have been an assassin, why don't you go to the Qianqing Palace to guard His Majesty? Why are you going to my place to do it?"

Lin Zisu pursed her lips and stood there for a moment, as if she was a little scared. The guard was a little anxious and said, "Miss Lin, Doctor Sun's life is here, so I will take you there."

Lin Zisu said lightly: "My master has the best medicine on his body. If he suffers an external injury, no matter how serious the injury is, it will be fine to save his life by using his medicine."

The four of them were waiting for Lin Zisu's statement. Lin Zisu was not in a hurry to make a decision, but asked: "Where is the most closely guarded near our Changping Palace?"

After hearing the guard's words, Lin Zisu saw that the guard's clothes were torn a few places, and under the light, there were a lot of blood stains.

The guards were puzzled on their faces, and the guard who reported the news was even more surprised and asked hesitantly: "Miss Lin, I'll be seriously injured. Let's go to Changning Palace as soon as possible."

A team of guards guarding Lin Zisu hurried westward, and soon arrived at the West Third Place. The deputy commander of the Imperial Army guarding the West Third Place recognized the group and shouted loudly: "Old Bear, so Why are you here if you are late?"

Deputy Commander Xiong heard that there was a traitor in his people, so he hurriedly asked about the truth.

Lin Zisu and Deputy Commander Xiong said, "My commander, the situation is very critical now. I suspect that you have an assassin's party among you. We must go to the Qing Palace to report the news as soon as possible."

The guard lowered his head and replied, "Doctor Sun was seriously injured, but he was still breathing. He was outside Changning Palace now, and several brothers were guarding there. He was going to hire an imperial physician, but Dr. Sun said , He trusted Miss Lin, so he asked the young man to come and invite you over."

Deputy Commander Xiong from Lin Zisu's side immediately said: "There is an assassin in the palace. Your Majesty invites Doctor Sun, who entered the palace, to be assassinated on the way to the Qing Palace. Huang Laoqi, come and Deputy Commander Jiang. Tell me, what's going on!"

Lin Zisu was a little nervous and asked in a trembling voice: "What's wrong with my master? Where is he now?"

Unexpectedly, Sun Duzhong was assassinated under the escort. Even if he was not at the scene at that time, he could not refuse to blame. Thinking of Cao Shouli's usual methods, the four of them were sweating in cold sweat and said in unison: "If you need it, please do whatever you want." Show it!"

Deputy Commander Xiong turned his head, but he didn't see the figure of the guard who had just reported the news. He thought the guard was afraid of punishment and escaped secretly. He couldn't help but curse: "This bastard! That's the courage!"

A guard thought about it and replied: "Our south is Cining Palace, now empty, there are few brothers there, and the north is Jingyang Palace. There have been cold palaces in all dynasties, and there will be no one. Yes, there are only a few brothers in the West Third Session.”

Lin Zisu looked calm on the outside, but was anxious inside. She stumbled all the way. Unexpectedly, Deputy Commander Jiang refused to let go and always argued on the grounds that he had not received the order from Shangfeng.

The guard's face was a little angry, but he didn't dare to argue with Lin Zisu anymore.

Lin Zisu said, and the same leader of the imperial guards said, "Deputy Commander Xiong, the situation is urgent, and there is no time to inform Eunuch Cao. Please follow me to the West Three Institutes."

Deputy Commander Xiong laughed and said, "Brother, this is not enough manpower. I want to borrow some people from you. We are always in love, so you can't refuse."

Lin Zisu pondered: "First, the person who reported the news just now was extremely suspicious. My master has always pityed me. If he was in danger, he would definitely not let me repeat the same mistakes. That person kept urging me, but at this time he was again I disappeared, I thought I wanted to tempt me to go in the name of my master."

Seeing the two commanders nodding repeatedly, Lin Zisu said again: "Secondly, if we meet an assassin in the palace, we will definitely not be so calm. When we came here just now, we did not hear any warning. I think it was the assassin still hiding in the dark. When we wait for the opportunity to take action, we have to hurry up and report to the Ganqing Palace.”

Deputy Commander Jiang was unhappy and said, "Old Xiong, this is your fault. Even though you know there is an assassin, why don't you send someone to the Qing Palace to report the news first?"

Lin Zisu shook her head and asked Deputy Commander Jiang: "Sir, how can you know the person who sent to report the news? Is the assassin's accomplice?"
