The black-bellied highness, the evil concubine

Chapter 2 Assassin (1)
Dayang Kingdom, Jingcheng 23 years, the imperial capital Xianling.

Xianling City, the most prosperous and bustling city, has been somewhat deserted recently. The city is no longer busy during the day, but after dusk, the whole city becomes more and more quiet. During the night of curfew, the doors of every house are closed. There were no other figures in sight.

The reason why the imperial capital was so oppressive was because of what happened a month ago.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was most respected by the Emperor Zhuge Yuan and loved by his subjects was assassinated in his own Prince's Mansion, and it was rumored that he was seriously injured. They have to be replaced too.

An accident happened to the crown prince, instead of being captured, the assassin escaped without a trace. His Majesty was furious, and immediately withdrew the positions of the commander of the imperial guards and the minister of Dali Temple, and then ordered King Yi and General Beitang Strictly investigate this matter, and the assassin must be captured.

In the past month, the guards at the gates of each city in Xianling have been extremely strict. Every citizen who enters and leaves the city will be strictly searched. They complained, but they were willing. After all, it was their most diligent and caring prince, His Royal Highness, who was injured. They also hoped that King Yi and General Beitang could quickly arrest the culprit.

Fortunately, a few days ago, General Beitang finally captured the 'Assassin', and everyone in the capital couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, but no one knew who the 'Assassin' was.

On the third day of July, at dusk, the sky gradually darkened.

Outside the gate of the east city, there was an endless stream of people who wanted to enter the city, most of them were ordinary people who went to the imperial capital to do business. After finally waiting for the "results" of the matter, the "curfew" was finally lifted in the city, and this business was no longer possible. If there is a delay, they all want to rush into the city before the city gate is closed.

There are too many people entering the city, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city must not relax at all. If there is any trouble in Xianling City, they will not be able to bear it all.

"I have seen the officer!" It was the turn of a carriage to enter the city, and the groom who drove the carriage had already got off the carriage, and said respectfully to the officers and soldiers who came to check.

The official pointed at the carriage cautiously and asked, "Who is in the carriage?"

The groom bowed slightly and replied: "If you go back to the official, there are only two ladies here!"

The implication is that it is inconvenient to view.

"Girls, please get out of the carriage!" Although the official said it was rigid, his words were quite respectful.

A pair of jade hands slowly stretched out from the side of the car curtain, but it seemed that there was no intention to lift the curtain, but gently shook the jade plaque in his hand towards the official.

"Do you still want to let Miss Ben get off the carriage?" A woman's voice that was quite proud but not harsh came from inside the carriage.

Seeing the appearance of the jade plaque clearly, the official's expression changed, and he was afraid for a while. If the lady really got out of the carriage and made her lose face in front of the city gate, even if she didn't care, there must be someone looking for it. He settled accounts after autumn, thinking of this, he immediately lowered his head and held his hands, saying: "I'm rude in a humble position, I hope the county..."

Before he finished speaking, the girl in the carriage said simply: "As the saying goes, those who don't know are not guilty. Today is your responsibility. Naturally, my lady will not blame you. Okay, that kid Wei Qing is still waiting for you." I'm going back, make way!"

"Yes!" Hearing Wei Qing's words, the surrounding officers and soldiers immediately gave way to a wide road, subconsciously lowered their heads, and respectfully sent the man in the carriage into the city.
