Chapter 417 The Assassin
Zhang Jiaojiao just pretended not to see this heart-stopping scene.

"Miss Shunyuan, I also know a little about autopsy, why don't I let you help Mistress Shunyuan." Li Mo walked a few steps forward and said in a gentle voice.

"No, I can do it myself."

Without raising her head, Zhang Jiaojiao pointed at Shuiyun's fatal wound neatly with her hands holding the scalpel and tweezers, and took out the sharp needle.

"This……"

Zhang Jiaojiao's eyes narrowed slowly.

With the help of bright candlelight, Zhang Jiaojiao could clearly see the long needle, which was about an inch long and reflected silver light all over.

Where the tweezers are clamping, there are very light lines, faintly resembling the word "white".

"White jade silver needle."

The system in Zhang Jiaojiao's mind, which had been quiet for a long time, said these four words in a mechanical voice.

Very familiar name.

Zhang Jiaojiao murmured softly, and the people present were all people with extraordinary hearing ability, and they basically heard it.

Song Sheng looked at Li Mo, it was the first time he heard it.

Li Yu'er leaned behind Yan Xiu, lowering her head slightly.

The white jade silver needle is Sang Bai's hidden weapon.

Could it be that the man in black that the eldest brother was chasing just now was Sang Bai?

Then, who is the person who shoots cold arrows on the palace road?
Just as he was thinking, Shenquan came in from the outside: "Your Majesty, the body of the eunuch who carried the dragon chariot was also brought here, and we need to examine it together."

Yan Xiu looked at Zhang Jiaojiao: "Please Zhang Shunyuan."

Zhang Jiaojiao: ...

You are welcome.

The corpse was brought in and lay side by side with Shuiyun.

The eunuch had no wounds other than the arrow, but unlike the white jade silver needle, this arrow was soaked in poison, even if it couldn't kill with one arrow, the poison could kill someone instantly.

After Zhang Jiaojiao checked, she threw the blood-stained gloves aside, and took out a bottle of liquid from the box to clean her hands.

The familiar smell of disinfectant brought Li Yu'er back to her senses.

"The concubine's task is completed, and it's getting late, please allow the concubine to return to the palace first."

Zhang Jiaojiao did not look up at Yan Xiu, but lowered her head slightly, saluting with a standard posture.

"Zhang Shunyuan has worked hard, so you should go back first."

Yan Xiu wished Zhang Jiaojiao would leave quickly, and replied indifferently with one hand behind his back.

Li Yu'er opened her mouth, wanting to follow up and talk to Zhang Jiaojiao, but Yan Xiu grabbed her shoulders and pulled her back to her side.

Zhang Jiaojiao walked out slowly.

Li Mo and Song Sheng bowed to salute.

"Your Majesty, it's my minister's dereliction of duty." Li Mo knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.

Song Sheng also knelt down.

"You are indeed dereliction of duty." Yan Xiu's tone was light: "With you in the palace, you can still allow assassins to come and go freely. General Li, I am very disappointed in you."

On the palace road, the assassin Guangming seriously injured the person who carried the dragon chariot. The dragon chariot lost its balance. He was fine, but Li Yuer, who was pregnant, was likely to be injured.

It is true that Yan Xiu would protect Li Yu'er, but there must be an explanation for the assassination.

Li Mo felt ashamed: "It's because I neglected to take precautions."

He has been chasing after the assassin since he noticed it, and it was at Shuiyun that he lost the trace of the assassin. He should continue to search instead of stopping to deal with Shuiyun.

"Your Majesty, wait for Jianyi and Ziye to come back to see whether the eldest brother has neglected his duties. It is more important to solve this matter right now."

Li Yu'er pointed to the corpses lying on two iron beds side by side.

"Send it to the Punishment Department."

Yan Xiu's tone was light.

"Yes." Song Sheng glanced at Li Mo and started to make arrangements.

At this hour in the palace, many people were awakened, even the queen mother put on a coat and got up.

"Yu'er will go back to the palace to rest first, and I will go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to see the Queen Mother."

Coming out of Li Mo's place, Yan Xiu helped Li Yu'er close up the cloak she was wearing, and said in a warm voice.

At this time, he didn't have much time to sleep. He went to the Empress Dowager's Palace and was about to go to court.

Li Mo cupped his hands: "I will personally escort the concubine Jin back home."

"Go." Yan Xiu waved his hand.

Li Yu'er and Li Mo walked towards Yaohua Palace.

This time, she did not sit on the dragon chariot.

"Brother, what's going on?" Li Yu'er approached Li Mo and asked in a low voice.

Fengyin and the others deliberately distanced themselves a little, leaving room for the two to talk.

Li Mo sighed: "It's my brother's mistake."

"However, that man's martial arts are very powerful. I'm afraid Jianyi is not his opponent."

Li Mo straightened his expression.

His martial arts methods are different from those of Jianghu. He has gained experience from fighting on the battlefield and countless assassinations. He also sparred with Mu Yi a few years ago. The two seem to be on par, but he has a heart He knew very well that Mu Yi's martial arts were superior to his.

In the past few years, his martial arts has naturally improved a lot, Jianyi is not his opponent.

Those who escaped under his hands, feared that Jianyi would not be able to catch up.Even if he catches up, can Jianyi really bring him back?

Li Mo's eyes showed worry.

"Brother, don't worry, Ziye has also followed. My sister sent a message to Yueyin during the day. If Yueyin noticed the changes in the palace, he would not just sit idly by."

Li Mo looked at Li Yu'er: "Yueyin?"

"Yueyin Qinggong is the best in the world, there are only people he doesn't chase, and there is no one he can't catch."

Li Yu'er raised her chin slightly, the word "proud" was written all over her quiet and obedient face.

Li Mo felt very uncomfortable.

"Brother, don't be discouraged."

"The ones who appeared in the palace today are likely to be Sangbang and Sangbai. Sangbai's lightness kungfu is amazing, and he has no trace of treading water. He has a strange body technique and is good at concealed weapons. The elder brother is too upright. It is not surprising that he can escape."

Li Yu'er comforted her.

Li Mo: ...

It would be better not to comfort him, he just felt more and more aggrieved.

"This person is Yueyin," Li Mo thought of the person Li Yu'er mentioned just now: "Credible?"

"Naturally believable."

Li Yu'er smiled and said: "Brother, don't worry, Yueyin will never let Sangbang escape if he takes action."

"Sang Bang?" Li Yu'er raised her eyebrows: "Isn't it Sang Bai?"

"Oh, the person who killed Shuiyun, who escaped under your hand, was Sang Bai, and the white jade silver needle was his hidden weapon. As for the one who shot and killed the little eunuch carrying the chariot on the palace road, if my sister didn't guess Wrong, it should be Sambong without a doubt."

These two brothers were really capable, and they went directly to the palace to assassinate.

What Li Yu'er couldn't figure out was why they wanted to kill Shuiyun. Could it be that there was really some secret in Shuiyun?
When she was thinking about something, she slowed down her pace, and she didn't notice that Li Mo beside her was staring at her without blinking those dark eyes.

"What's wrong?" Li Yu'er was very puzzled.

"Yu'er, how come you know Sang Bang and Sang Bai so well?" Li Mo asked softly.

Li Yuer:  …

"Mu Yi just checked on Sang Bang, and even he didn't find any trace of Sang Bai, how did you know about Sang Bai?" Li Mo looked into Li Yu'er's eyes: "You still know so clearly... ..."

 I forgot to ask for a ticket today, thank you for the cute little ones who took the initiative to vote for the monthly ticket, what a chirp!
