Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 124 Assassination

While the three of them were talking, a man walked out of Xisansou. When he saw the three people at the door, he frowned and asked, "What happened?"

This sound is straight and peaceful, but it also contains majesty. When you hear this sound, you are used to being a superior, but the voice is a little immature and the person who wants to speak is not very old.

Lin Zisu looked at the man and saw that the person was about the same age as him. He was wearing a white scholar's shirt, his face was as beautiful as a jade, and he was holding a folding fan in his hand and swayed gently. His steps were elegant and his clothes were moving gracefully, showing his fullness.

Romantic.

This young man's clothes are beautiful, but due to his age, although the clothes are tailored, they still seem inconsistent with his age, just like a child secretly wearing adult clothes.

The man recognized Lin Zisu and asked in surprise: "Isn't this Miss Lin? Why did you get to the palace?"

Lin Zisu didn't expect that the person who came recognized him, and looked at him carefully for a few more times, but still didn't expect who this young man was. However, looking at his outfit and age, several candidates flashed through Lin Zisu's mind and guessed immediately.

The identity of this young man.

When the young man approached, he listened to Commander Xiong and Commander Chiang bowed and said, "I have seen His Highness the Sixth Prince."

This young man is the sixth prince Xie Yun, who is 14 years old this year. He met Lin Zisu at the Hundred Flowers Banquet.

In his previous life, after Xie Yao succeeded to the throne, several princes in the capital successively entered the vassal stage, and Lin Zisu did not have much impression of Xie Yao's brothers.

She only knew that Xie Yun had a soft personality, which was exactly the opposite of Xie Xi. He was very low-key in daily life, but he was just stuck in the palace and couldn't come out.

Lin Zisu heard that Xie Xi had brought someone to Cining Palace in person, and she couldn't help but feel nervous. She didn't bother to ask Sun Duzhong anymore and hurriedly said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Your Highness Dun is probably trapped by the assassin.

Please send someone to help me!"

This statement seems to further confirm Lin Zisu's speculation. The so-called assassination of Sun Duzhong just now was just a trap that attracted him to the trap.

Lin Zisu first looked around. In addition to the emperor's personal eunuch Zhang Gu, in the Qianqing Palace, there were also the third prince Xie Hui and the eunuch Cao Shouli, the chief eunuch in charge of the seal.

Lin Zisu was in a heavier mood. If the trap was set up in advance, then the master would be in danger.

Deputy Commander Jiang was speechless, and called out two teams of guards, led the team himself, protecting Xie Yun and Lin Zisu towards the Qianqing Palace.

As Lin Zisu expected, there was no one in the Changning Palace, which had just been repaired. When asked about several patrol guards, they all said that there was no movement in the Changning Palace tonight.

Cao Shouli had just asked a few guards below and didn't know much about the situation tonight. However, the emperor had his life, so he could only bow and respond, "So I obey the order." Then he talked to Lin Zisu.

The situation in the Qianqing Palace.

When she suddenly saw Xie Yun, she couldn't figure out Xie Yun's temperament. After seeing the courtesy, she explained in detail to Xie Yun what she had just learned.

The emperor was paced back and forth in the hall. When he saw the two of them coming in, he didn't bother waiting for them to salute and said directly to Lin Zisu: "Su Yatou, I heard that your master was assassinated?"

The first person who received the letter was Xie Xi. After hearing this, he immediately ordered Zhang Gu to spread the word about Cao Shouli and strengthen the guards of Qianqing Palace. He ordered more than a dozen guards and hurried to Cining Palace.

Xie Yun's face suddenly became cold, and he continued, "The second brother and the third brother are not here tonight. The eighth brother is in his mother's palace. What are you guarding? Since you said that, it's just right, I'm going to visit the Qianqing Palace.

Father, you are leading the way.”

After seeing the people in the hall clearly, Lin Zisu did not answer the emperor's words, but asked: "Your Majesty, I wonder how Your Majesty learned about the assassination of my female master?"

At Lin Zisu's request, the group also went to Changning Palace specifically.

In fact, the situation here of the emperor was similar to what Lin Zisu encountered. A small leader of the imperial guards below reported that Sun Duzhong was assassinated outside the Cining Palace.

When the emperor heard Lin Zisu say this, he hurriedly asked what happened. Lin Zisu talked about his experience tonight, and finally added another sentence: "Your Majesty, Your Highness Dun is a dangerous trip here. If you go too late, you will probably have to. An unexpected encounter!”

In his perception, the palace has always been a safe place. Unexpectedly, an assassin came out and immediately ordered Deputy Commander Jiang to order two teams of guards to accompany the Ganqing Palace to protect the palace.

Shouldn’t it be Xie Xi’s turn tonight? How could it be Xie Hui here?

Questions flashed through Lin Zisu's heart.

The lights were brightly lit in the Ganqing Palace. Xie Yun and Lin Zisu waited at the door for less than half a cup of tea, and a eunuch told them to go in.

Xie Yun was shocked when he heard Lin Zisu explain his purpose.

The emperor didn't expect Lin Zisu to ask this question. He was stunned for a moment, then sat in front of the imperial case and said, "Shouli got the report from Dongchang, saying that Sun Duzhong was assassinated in the palace. Shuli, you and Lin Girl, tell me, what's going on?"

The emperor immediately stood up, pressed his hands on the imperial desk, and shouted: "Keep the courtesy and send someone to pick up King Ying Dun!"

"Why? My second and third brothers usually give orders, but aren't you obedient? Are they the princes? I, the sixth prince, aren't I, the prince?"

After only a quarter of an hour, Cao Shouli arrived at the Ganqing Palace, he rushed to send orders and sent out many people. Some came back to report, while others had no news yet.

Deputy Commander Jiang looked embarrassed and said, "Your Highness the Sixth Prince, my subordinates are ordered to protect your safety. If everyone is taken away, the assassin will turn here and shock you. Your highness, you will die of humility. Don't redeem it."

At this time, the people who could use it were, besides the imperial guards brought by Xie Yun and Lin Zisu, there were only a few teams of guards. Cao Shouli thought about it in his heart, and immediately called Deputy Commander Jiang in and said, "Take a lead." Team guards, go to Cining Palace to pick up His Highness Dun. If your Highness fails, ask you everything!”

Deputy Commander Jiang was originally guarding the West Third Institute, but was forcibly forced to go to the Ganqing Palace by Xie Yun. He thought he was just a different place to guard, but unexpectedly, Cao Shouli sent a job to take on the responsibility, and he secretly said in his heart that he was unlucky. He took the order unhappily and left.

Cao Shouli obviously underestimated the emperor's importance to Xie Xi. He listened to the footsteps outside the palace and only a dozen people went to pick up Xie Xi. He said in a deep voice: "Abide by the rituals, pass on my will, and the palace will be martial law immediately. Anyone who is unmoved will be treated as an assassin!”

Cao Shouli felt a stern heart and tentatively advised: "Your Majesty, the words of martial law in the palace are too alarming. If you spread it, you may be panic and disturbing the government. Look..."

The emperor hummed coldly, suddenly raised his voice, only two words popped out of his mouth, and said coldly: "Issue the Issue!"
