Chapter 423 The assassin is a prince?
"Ma'am! Something serious has happened!" It was Gao Ming who came.

"Gao Ming, what's wrong with the prince?!"

"Tonight, the prince played chess with His Majesty, and later arranged for a dancer to perform, but unexpectedly, the assassin hid in it. Your Majesty was hit by a dagger, and the prince was also injured by the escort!"

"How is the prince injured?!"

"The injury is not critical, but your Majesty's dagger is quite serious."

Nodding her head lightly, she felt that things were not as bad as she thought, "Where is the prince now? I'm going to see him!"

"My lord is in the palace right now. Now the gate of the palace has been closed, and my wife is not allowed to enter the palace tonight. Besides, there is a martial law inside and outside the palace gate. The Palace Guards and the Shence Battalion are dispatched to catch the assassins. The lord is worried that my wife will miss me, so he ordered me to go to the palace immediately." But if you leave the palace, if you are one step late, your subordinates will not be able to leave the palace."

At this time, it was past time, Gentle tried to lie down again, but couldn't fall asleep, and it was not until the fifth watch, so Gentle dressed neatly, then stewed soup and prepared to go to the palace to visit King Jin.

Before going out, he learned the secret news in the palace from the subordinates, the assassin had already caught Fufa.

Wei Wei is most concerned about Xiao Zijun's situation, how is he injured?In her memory, there were too many large and small scars on his body, and now I'm afraid there will be another one added.

Gao Ming came from outside, and he seemed to be in a dejected state who hadn't slept all night and went out to inquire, "Ma'am, don't go to the palace now, the prince is not in the palace."

"Then where is he?" Wei Wei felt a little strange, "Didn't it mean that the assassin has already been captured?"

Gao Ming's mood became chaotic, and his eyes seemed to be dodging. Wei Wei had never seen Gao Ming dodging so guiltyly, and grabbed his sleeve and said, "Quickly tell me, what's going on?"

Gao Ming finally said: "Madam, I told you, don't worry."

"My lord is in trouble."

As soon as the words fell, her nerves suddenly tensed up, and her breathing almost stopped, "Is he seriously injured?!"

"The assassins captured last night were two orchids. One orchid was killed on the spot, but the other orchid testified... that the prince ordered them to assassinate His Majesty..."

The meal box prepared by Gentle fell to the ground with a "clang", the jade cup inside was shattered, and the soup spilled out.

She shook her head in shock and kept shaking her head, "No, no, it's impossible!"

"My lord was indeed framed by someone. Before the assassin died, he sprayed people with blood, and there was another unconvincing death. The lord is now being held in Dali Temple, and the case will be investigated by the minister of Dali Temple. Now Lord An and Marquis Lu are trying to find a way for the lord. Clear the suspicion."

King Jin was identified as directing and performing a good show of saving his father and killing his father.

The most tormenting moment is now Ning Qingqing.

Gao Ming asked her to wait for news at the palace, it is best not to go out, the mansion needs a personal response, and make plans when Lord An has news.

However, for a whole day, she did not hear from King Jin, and several people in the palace were not in the palace and did not return for a day.Qingqing heard that the two-day palace ban, no one is allowed to enter the palace without a token.

It can be said that there is nowhere to ask.

She didn't eat all day, and fell asleep in a daze at night, seemingly dreaming of Xiao Zijun in a trance.

He held a sword in his hand and was covered in blood, "Gently, I finally killed him, killed him!" She took a closer look, and who was the emperor who was lying in a pool of blood in the Hall of Supreme Harmony?

At this moment, the gate of the palace opened, and tens of millions of soldiers poured in like a tide, "The king of Jin murdered the king and usurped the throne! Take it down!"

She saw that among the group of people there was a person in the jade crown and python robe, the jade tree facing the wind, it was actually Xiao Zihong, he said to himself: "Gentleman, thanks to you, otherwise how would I win the third child!" King Jin looked at herself and laughed angrily : "So even you betrayed me!"

Ning woke up in a flash of fright, only feeling the silence around her. Looking at the faint firelight in the hall, she realized that she was in her tent. It turned out that everything was just a nightmare.

Although it was a cold night, I was sweating profusely, thinking of my dream, my heart almost collapsed, and there were two lines of tears beside my cheeks.

After finally surviving until the second day, Qingqing couldn't bear it anymore, she couldn't wait for others to give news.

The gate of Beidinghou's mansion.

Someone came on horseback, and stopped before he came close, only then did he realize that the rider was very handsome.

The visitor came dressed in men's clothing and wanted to see Lu Hou.

The servant stopped him, and was slightly anxious, explaining his identity.

Lu Yuan, Marquis of Beiding heard the news and came out to welcome him, "Mrs. Ning?!"

In the courtyard, Ning Qingqing first saluted Lu Hou, "The king of Jin is in a dangerous situation at the moment. Ning Qingqing is a girl who has no way to go, so she has to come to see Lu Hou. Although I have never participated in the prince's political affairs, I can distinguish between close and distant. , Lu Hou has always been the prince's trusted minister, I implore Lu Hou to save the prince!"

Lu Yuan was only 30 years old, with a handsome appearance, he inherited his father's position as a marquis, and since he made friends with Xiao Zijun when he was young, although he has no general talent, he has always been a loyal minister by King Jin's side.

Therefore, Ning Qingqing came to look for Lu Yuan first.

Lu Yuan is very aware of the weight Ning Qingqing has in King Jin's heart. He was really surprised to see her here, and hurriedly returned the greeting, "Madam, there is no need to be polite. How to send a message to Madam."

While talking, he invited Ning Qingqing to the pavilion.

At this time, An Linzhou, the master of Zhongshu, came out of the room. Because they were talking about things quietly, they were all secretive, and Lu Yuan didn't reveal anything just now.

"Veteran An Linzhou has seen Mrs. Ning." Ordinarily, this gift should not have been done, because the King of Jin treats Mrs. Ning like a princess, and An Linzhou has always been discerning, thinking that if the King of Jin ascends to a high position in the future, this woman will be at least He is as high as the third concubine, so he behaved very solemnly.

Startled slightly, he hurriedly returned the salute, "Master Zhongshu is so lighthearted."

Then she came up and asked King Jin, "My lord, how is King Jin now? Can I visit?"

"Back to madam, the lord's arm was cut, and it has been bandaged and healed. There is no serious problem. Although he is in Dali Temple, after all, the lord has a noble status. Although he is imprisoned, he will not suffer. Don't worry about this, madam."

"As for the case—" Master An sighed.

Gentle's eyes turned red all of a sudden, "Could it be that the lord was framed by someone? How can he be convicted just by the assassin's confession, and the lord will never make such a retrograde move!"

"Of course we know that the prince did not do it, but now that the emperor is seriously injured, he has always been suspicious. Everything depends on the review of Dali Temple, and others can only assist in the investigation."

"Madam, I have a question to ask." An Linzhou paused, then looked at Ning Qingqing, "Before the winter hunting last year, the prince hosted a banquet for the kings in Nanyuan, including King Wuwei of Beimo, Su Wenying of Dongwu, and Xichu Xiang Chengyu, General Sun, etc., can this matter?"

After thinking about it lightly, he said with certainty: "This is indeed the case."

"That day there will be orchids singing and dancing to add to the fun."

"Yes, it's just related to this case?"

"Madam, do you know that the assassins of the emperor were precisely two excellent orchids. Some people used this to explain that the prince had known many orchids before, so he arranged for orchids to assassinate this time."

"It's a bunch of nonsense. That orchid was originally invited from the wine shop by a concubine, and even I am not familiar with it, and the prince has no way of knowing."
