System: Rescue the Blackened Prince

Chapter 69

Imperial Physician Wen came very quickly, Wen Li looked at Imperial Physician Wen rushing over, and said strangely: "Emperor Wen, why did you come here so early today?" She just woke up and didn't even have breakfast. So dedicated.

When Wen Li heard Wen Li's question, Imperial Physician Wen had an even weirder expression than her, "Isn't the Empress Empress feeling unwell?"

Wen Li blinked and asked, "I haven't had time to feel unwell today."

Doctor Wen: "..."

He stroked his goatee beard with his right hand, he couldn't figure it out, if it wasn't for something happened to the empress, why did the emperor call him to Changle Palace in such a hurry?
The two sat and stared at each other like this, Fang Ling walked in from the outside, bowed to Wen Li and said: "Niang Niang, breakfast is ready."

"Oh." Wen Li glanced at Imperial Physician Wen who was sitting opposite, and asked in the spirit of respecting the elderly and loving the young, "Emperor Wen, do you want to eat together?"

Doctor Wen's mustache trembled, and he smiled at the queen and said, "No need, the old minister has already used it." The honor of eating at the same table with the queen is only available to the emperor, and he does not want to challenge the authority of the emperor.

Wen Li didn't try to persuade her anymore, so she ordered Fang Xiao to arrange the breakfast, and ate it directly in the palace. Wen Li, the imperial physician, watched the whole process, and observed the quality of the empress's breakfast.

After Wen Li had had her breakfast, the imperial doctor Wen checked her pulse again, and Wei Ying just went to court.Seeing the emperor walking towards him, imperial doctor Wen quickly knelt down and saluted.Weiying excused him, glanced at Wen Li who was opposite, and said to the imperial physician Wen: "You go to the study and wait for me first."

Wen Li went to the study honestly, Wen Li looked up at Wei Ying, and asked puzzledly, "Wei Ying, are you sick?"

Weiying walked to her side, raised his hand and rubbed the top of her head, "No, I just have some things to discuss with Doctor Wen."

Wen Li snorted, and looked up at Wei Ying's hand on her head. Fortunately, today Fang Xiao was only given a simple bun, otherwise the emperor wouldn't even have a place to start.

"You rest here first, I'll go to the study and have a look before I come back." After Weiying finished speaking, she walked out with the little tail of Eunuch Li.

Wen Li looked at his back, her eyes darkened.Most of the discussions between Weiying and Imperial Physician Wen were related to her, but recently her health has been fine. Why did Weiying pass on the information of Imperial Physician Wen so early in the morning?

Thinking that Weiying seemed a little abnormal last night, Wen Li's eyes moved again.

In the study, Imperial Physician Wen was studying some incense ash over and over again.He put the incense ash stuck on his index finger under the tip of his nose and smelled it several times, and then said to Weiying: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with these incenses, they are indeed the mind-scenting incenses that the old minister prepared for the empress."

Wei Ying frowned when she heard this, but said to the doctor Wen: "In this case, you should go down first."

The doctor heard that the eyes of the imperial doctor rolled, and he only said the old minister's resignation, and then left the Changle Palace.

Wei Ying didn't find any clues, and Wen Li didn't ask, so the matter was left alone.But after that time, when Weiying was dealing with court affairs in the study, Luluo and Fangling Fangxiao had both been there to wait on them, and they also burned the incense, but Weiying didn't have any undue impulse.

Although the problem has not been solved positively, Weiying naturally has some concerns in her heart.Weiying's attitude towards Hongrui is much colder than that of others, and she never asks Hongrui to do anything, but orders Luluo and the others.

Naturally, this small gesture could not escape the eyes of the people in the palace. Everyone thought that Hongrui must have offended the emperor in some way, and her attitude towards Hongrui changed from trying to flatter her to just keeping her distance.

Hongrui herself also noticed it, she once asked Wen Li insinuatingly, whether Wen Li pretended not to understand or really didn't understand, she never gave Hongrui a clear answer.Over time, Hongrui never raised this question again.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the new year, and the palace held a year-end celebration at the end of each year, and this year was no exception.

Wen Li had never participated in a large-scale celebration in the palace before, and finally caught an opportunity, but because she was approaching her delivery date, Weiying put her under house arrest in Changle Palace.

On the day of New Year's Eve, the palace was very lively. Civil servants, military generals, wives and ministers, as well as the few beauties of the emperor's harem all attended the celebration.

Of course the Queen Mother was there too.

With so many noble figures gathered all at once, the guards in the palace were naturally many times stricter than usual. All the palaces had dispatched manpower to strengthen their guard, but none of the guards from Changle Palace were dispatched.

Everyone is no stranger to the special treatment that Changle Palace has always given.

Wen Li stayed alone in Changle Palace, feeling so sad in her heart.Thinking that everyone was eating, drinking and watching the performance, but she could only stay alone in the Changle Palace, alone, fraternal and inseparable.

If I say too much, I will cry.

After hearing her complaint, Fang Xiao chuckled, and said to Wen Li: "Your Majesty is not alone, doesn't she still have the little prince in her belly to accompany you?"

Wen Li glanced at her stomach dejectedly, what's the use of this meatball, and she can't talk to her and play with her, it's not as useful as Sanhuang.Speaking of which, it has been a long time since I saw Sanhuang, and I heard from Weiying that it was temporarily fostered by Imperial Physician Wen. I wonder if Imperial Physician Wen will use it for strange experiments.

Thinking about it, I'm really worried.Oh, I really want to eat and watch a show.

The performances at the celebration were wonderful, many famous juggling troupes were invited in the palace, and the performances at the dinner party were remarkable and attracted people's attention.

But what everyone is looking forward to the most is the fireworks display at the end of the dinner.

Weiying was also absent-minded all the time, even though the beauties in the harem who finally saw him once tried their best to dress up, he didn't pay attention to it.Wei Ying also knew that Wen Li must be bored staying alone in Changle Palace, but today's celebration was no better than the reception banquet held for Seya and the others that day, and he would have to say some blessings afterwards, so it was impossible to slip away early.

Thinking of this, I feel that I have no intention of watching the show.

The theater troupe in front of him was still performing hard, and Wei Ying didn't notice all of them, so when someone shouted "Guard", he still hadn't recovered.

The assassin's movements were swift and violent, and he was already in front of Weiying in a blink of an eye.Weiying's body instinctively dodged a few hidden weapons flying towards him, and finally came back to his senses, staring coldly at the person in front of him.

That person was still wearing a mask used by the theater troupe, and he rushed over from the stage just now.

Seeing that the blow failed, the assassin pulled out the dagger from his cuff, aimed at Weiying's heart and stabbed it.

With a sound of "铛", a long silver sword stood in front of Weiying, touching the dagger in the assassin's hand. The assassin frowned, stepped back a few steps quickly, and flew away.

With a wave of the sword in Pei Heng's hand, he ordered to Qian Lingwei, "Chase!"

As soon as his words fell, several people flew out, and Pei Heng told Sima Yan who stayed behind: "Let everyone be more vigilant, the assassin may have accomplices."

This time Pei Heng hadn't finished speaking when he found the emperor "Huo" stood up from the dragon chair behind him, and chased after the place where the assassin left in a flash.

Pei Heng was taken aback for a moment, and immediately someone shouted to protect the emperor, and they all chased in that direction.Pei Heng frowned, and followed suit.

The direction the assassin fled was Changle Palace.

Wen Li was still sitting in the courtyard of Changle Palace at this time, looking for a place with a good view, waiting to watch the fireworks show.

It was cold in winter, and the empress was particularly afraid of the cold. Fang Ling and Fang Xiao had set up stoves around her and wrapped her tightly in a big cloak, but they were still worried about letting her stay in the yard.

If the emperor knew about this, he would definitely punish them again.

After coming to Changle Palace for so long, although she received more rewards than any other maids in the palace, the punishment she received... was incomparable to that of any other palace maids.

Putting some snacks in front of Wen Li, Fang Ling and Fang Xiao waited on them carefully.The queen is about to give birth, if something goes wrong at this time, it will be a waste of all previous efforts.

But as the saying goes, good things don’t work and bad things don’t work, things in the world really come out of whatever you are afraid of.

Wen Li was looking up at the dark sky intently, when suddenly a figure flew across the sky, and landed in the yard lightly like a ghost.

The pale moonlight hit the visitor's body, unexpectedly outlining a chill that permeated people.Wen Li frowned and looked at the person who came, this person should be dressed as a performer in the troupe, why did he appear here suddenly?
A suspicious person suddenly broke into the Changle Palace, which was enough to scare Fang Ling and Fang Xiao, but this person was wearing a scary mask on his face, Fang Ling was so frightened that she screamed on the spot.

Although Fangling's voice was not as loud and penetrating as Hongrui's, it was extraordinarily piercing in this silent night.

The guards at the door were quickly alarmed, the assassin heard the commotion outside, and flew towards Wen Li on tiptoe.

Fang Xiao subconsciously picked up a stove at her feet, and threw it at the assassin.Although the assassin deftly dodged the stove, quite a few of the charcoal fire splashed out of the stove hit him.

After Fangling screamed, she also seemed to recover from her fear, and similarly picked up the stove at her feet and threw it at the assassin.

After such a delay, all the guards outside the door rushed in. The assassin looked back at the dark crowd, his eyes flickered, and he wanted to fly away again.

It's a pity that this time, before he had time to fly, he felt a fierce murderous aura rushing from behind him. That cold voice was like a Shura demanding his life in the Palace of the King of Hades, which made people subconsciously terrified.

"Do you still want to run?"

Just three simple words made the assassin's heart skip a beat.There was only a slight pause in the movement of his feet, and a figure had already stood in front of him. Who else was it if it wasn't the emperor he assassinated just now?

It's just that the emperor at this time has long since lost the absent-mindedness he had when he made the sneak attack just now, and his bottomless eyes were filled with monstrous anger and cold killing intent.
