Chapter 247 Counterattack
"Please stay."

Su Ming suddenly stepped forward to stop them, and said to Yemuqi: "His Royal Highness, the assassin who just dived into the water and escaped has been caught, do you want to hand him over to the Ministry of Punishment?"

Hearing this, Yemuqi's eyes changed slightly, and then he exchanged a glance with Jun Tingsheng, "No, I want to interrogate myself."

"Young Master Jun, you can go with me too, after all, you were there just now."

So several people came to the backyard together, and more than one assassin was caught. After asking Su Ming, he learned that when he was catching the assassin in the water, he was meeting with his companions.

Yemuqi looked at the people in front of him, and asked coldly, "Who asked you to assassinate me?"

"The grass people don't know what the young master means by this? After the grass people fell into the water, they were rescued by the three young masters, but they were washed away by the current."

"Yes, yes, we are all honest and responsible people, I don't know why the young masters want to arrest us."

A few people chattered and explained, they looked like ordinary people, Song Baoling waited and watched without making a conclusion easily, she slowly leaned over and looked at them carefully.

At this time, she suddenly discovered that they had one thing in common, that is, everyone had the same strange mark behind their ears, as if they belonged to the same organization.

Song Baoling did not expose them in public, but walked back to Jun Tingsheng silently. In fact, it is still unclear who the target of these people is.

Is the person they want to assassinate Yemuqi or Jun Tingsheng?

"Brother Huang, I don't think I can ask anything. Why don't you hand them over to the Ministry of Punishment."

Yemuqi agreed to Linglong's proposal and asked Su Ming to send someone to send them to the Ministry of Punishment. Unexpectedly, before they could walk out of the house, the guards screamed from behind.

"Your Highness, they committed suicide!"

Hearing this, Song Baoling and others hurried back, only to see that several assassins had been poisoned and fell to the ground dead.

Jun Tingsheng's expression sank when he saw this, and he looked up at Su Ming: "Didn't you check after you caught him?"

Su Ming didn't expect this kind of thing to happen. Seeing that not only Jun Tingsheng, but also Yemuqi was looking at him, he felt depressed and regretted.

"I'm really sorry, I... forgot for a while."

Looking at Su Ming with a silly look, they were powerless to complain anymore, now that the clues were broken, it was useless to say anything.

After the group returned to the front hall, Su Ming was suddenly called away by his subordinates, and Linglong didn't know where to go.

"Those people are not ordinary people."

Jun Tingsheng and Yemuqi turned their heads and looked over at the same time, only to see Song Baoling explaining to them: "Those people have a strange mark behind their ears, plus the fact that they committed suicide by taking poison, I guess they should belong to the world. some force."

Hearing Song Baoling's words, Yemuqi couldn't help but look a little ugly, and immediately asked his confidant to investigate the matter.

At this time, Su Ming suddenly ran in in a hurry, holding a carrier pigeon in his hand.

"His Royal Highness, this is the carrier pigeon that was just intercepted by your subordinates. Do you know that Princess Linglong has been sending messages to the outside world?"

Hearing this, Song Baoling and the three looked at each other in shock. Yemuqi took the note on the carrier pigeon, and his face sank instantly after seeing the content on it.

"Are you all right? Can you go?"

Linglong ran into the room with a happy face, only to see that everyone in the room looked at her with strange eyes, "What's the matter? Why are you looking at me like this?"

Yemuqi raised his hand holding the letter and asked her, "Who are you sending the letter to?"

The moment she saw the letter paper, Linglong froze in place, and she guiltyly denied, "What letter? I don't know what Brother Huang is talking about."

Song Baoling saw that she didn't admit it, so he simply pretended to be very sad, "Sister Linglong, I sincerely regard you as my sister, why do you want to harm us?"

"If Young Master Su hadn't happened to be present just now, then His Royal Highness and my little uncle might have... Who are you tipping off to?"

Linglong wanted to quibble at first, but after hearing Song Baoling's words, she also regretted the beginning, and quickly explained: "No, I didn't intend to harm you."

"Er Niang said that as long as I tell the truth about my whereabouts, she will consider suspending my marriage, but I really don't know there will be assassins."

While speaking, Linglong ran over and grabbed Song Baoling's hand, "Linger, you must trust me, I really won't hurt you."

"Actually, I also regret it now. If I hadn't claimed to reveal my whereabouts, you would not have been in danger."

Song Baoling saw that she was blaming herself, so she didn't pursue further, "Since you said you didn't know, then I believe you, but now you have to send another letter."

Linglong also wanted to make up for her mistakes, so she wrote a new letter and sent it out according to what Song Baoling said. After a while, another group of assassins sneaked in.

Fortunately, Song Baoling and the others were ready. The assassins were all captured instantly after sneaking in. In order to prevent them from committing suicide again, Song Baoling stunned them with medicine.

"I don't think it's necessary to guess. These people are most likely sent by the queen."

Song Baoling turned around and looked at Yemuqi who was sitting opposite, "His Royal Highness, now that someone has been caught, it's up to you as to what to do."

With so many things going on, the few people didn't have the mood to go shopping anymore, and they dispersed after returning to the palace.

Back at the hotel, Jun Tingsheng stopped Song Baoling, "You are close to Linglong, in your opinion, will she stand by Yemuqi's side tomorrow?"

"Will do."

Song Baoling nodded without thinking, and said: "The queen is not her biological mother, and the queen has always wanted to get her married. If something happens to the queen, she doesn't have to worry about it anymore."

When she parted with Linglong just now, she had already separated the interests of these two matters for her. She must have made the right choice.

Morning the next day—

Yemuqi mentioned that he was assassinated, and brought the assassin captured last night to the emperor, and Linglong was also summoned to the hall for this matter.

"Royal father, I have told my ministers the truth about what happened. Today, I will accuse the current empress of secretly sending someone to assassinate my ministers. I hope that my father will be the master for my ministers."

As soon as these words came out, all civil and military officials were in an uproar, the emperor was already full of anger, he looked at Linglong and asked in a low voice: "Linglong, is what your brother said true?"

"Return to the emperor, what the emperor said is true."

Linglong bowed and kowtowed to salute, and continued to explain: "Yesterday, before leaving the palace, my son was deceived by his mother's words, and secretly sent a message to inform him of his whereabouts, but my son really didn't know there would be an assassin."

"It's my son who is too dull, which caused my brother to be in danger several times, and my son is willing to be punished for this."

The emperor was furious when he heard the words, and immediately summoned the queen to the hall for questioning. All the ministers were so frightened that they knelt down in silence.

I thought that there were all witnesses and material evidence, and the queen had nothing to argue with, but unexpectedly she denied it when she arrived in the hall, claiming that someone had slandered her.
