Jingwan tilted her head and whispered something in Li Hongyuan's ear.
Li Hongyuan put down his wine glass, "I think I'll go with you."
Jingwan "carefully" glanced at Le Chengdi. On the surface, she seemed to be asking for Le Chengdi's consent, but in fact, she was a little bit mischievous. She wanted to see Le Chengdi "change his face".
Le Chengdi decided to ignore it to the end. Jingwan felt a little regretful.
When a subject met the Emperor, to prevent himself from being disrespectful, he even drank less water. It was really sad.
Jingwan changed her clothes and came out. Her hands were still a little damp after being stained with water.
Li Hongyuan stood in the corridor with his hands behind his back. He looked up at the bright moon in the night sky. It was quiet. The flowers and trees outside the corridor formed a beautiful picture. It was beautiful, but it also had a feeling that it could be seen from afar.
But when he turned back, he naturally showed a faint smile. The sense of distance suddenly disappeared.
Li Hongyuan stretched out his hand to Jingwan. Jingwan put her hand in his palm. Under the moonlight, their foreheads touched, and the tips of their noses touched. It felt so good. "Ah Yuan, I don't want to go back."
"Then I won't go back. Otherwise, I'll go directly out of the palace to the Prince's Mansion, or go to the lantern market to enjoy the lanterns. If I'm lucky, I might meet the Luo family. " Anyway, Li Hongyuan was very clear that as long as he didn't touch the throne, his good father's tolerance for him was so high that it was strange. If he didn't make good use of it, he would feel sorry for himself.
"I don't think so. Although you have already swept his face clean, you should take it easy."
How to put it, someone was so high-profile and showed his presence everywhere, but in fact, "trying to cover up makes it more conspicuous". It was just that not many people knew. How many people were so good at secretly usurping the throne since ancient times? However, how many people had the luck to start over? Thinking about it this way, the acceptance seemed to be higher.
"What does it matter? Nothing …" Li Hongyuan's voice stopped abruptly. He looked at the place where the banquet was set up in the Imperial Garden and narrowed his eyes slightly. His intuition was right. However, they actually played this trick.
Li Hongyuan sneered.
"What's wrong?" Jingwan was puzzled and looked in the same direction.
"Something's wrong. Judging from the commotion, there should be an assassin at the banquet," Li Hongyuan said calmly.
Jingwan's eyes widened slightly. Suddenly, she grasped Li Hongyuan's hand tightly. "Something happened when we were leaving the banquet. Will they frame us for this?" Things that had been planned out could not be called a coincidence.
"I'm fine." Li Hongyuan wasn't sure how many assassins there were and he only brought two guards with him. Jingwan's current situation was special. If anything were to happen to her, she would be in trouble. Therefore, Li Hongyuan didn't plan to go over.
Jingwan obviously saw through his thoughts. "Ah Yuan, being late and not being there are two different things."
"I know, but all those people added together can't compare to one of your fingers."
"I'm very happy to be so loved by you, but if that's the case, I'm afraid we'll be in trouble later. Assassins are not guards. No matter how many there are, they can't be much. "At the critical moment, Jingwan's IQ was absolutely online.
Li Hongyuan frowned. "Then you must follow me closely."
"Don't worry."
Li Hongyuan pulled Jingwan, followed by Gong Mama, Hei Mei, and two guards.
As they got closer, Jingwan also heard the noise. The noise was getting more and more obvious.
Two people suddenly rushed out from the side and happened to bump into Jingwan and the others. The two people were stunned at first, probably because they didn't expect to encounter such a situation. Then, with a fierce look, they put their hands in front of their chests. The daggers, which were blue under the light, were obviously smeared with poison and were stained with blood. They rushed quickly toward Jingwan and the others.
It was not the first time Jingwan had encountered such a situation. She didn't panic, but the hand holding Li Hongyuan slightly tightened. Li Hongyuan's thumb gently rubbed the back of her hand to comfort her.
Gong Mama and Hei Mei didn't move, but the two guards went up to them without fear.
As a prince, although he could bring two guards into the palace, he was still not allowed to bring weapons.
Barehanded against two assassins with poisoned daggers, he didn't know how poisonous the daggers were. If it was a slow poison, then it was okay. But if it was the kind of poison that killed at the sight of blood, a small wound could cause him to lose his life.
Li Hongyuan's two guards were shadow guards. They were better at dealing with this kind of crafty assassination method than traditional martial arts. Although Jingwan didn't understand much, she also found that the two people from the prince's fu had the upper hand. But because of the other party's poisoned daggers, they couldn't let go. Otherwise, they might have already taken them down.
The clothes of these two people were too obvious. With just a glance, it could be distinguished. One was a dancer, the other was a palace eunuch from the imperial kitchen. They clearly belonged to the kind of people who looked weak, but at this moment, their moves were unusually fierce. Although the two guards of Jin Qinwang fu didn't see blood, but the places where their clothes were cut were not few.
In the blink of an eye, they had already fought more than ten rounds.
Soon, Yu Zhongqing chased after them with several Imperial Guards. When he saw the current situation, he joined in without hesitation. They had swords with them, and they had an absolute advantage in numbers. It was only a matter of time before they could take them down.
As Jingwan watched attentively, Li Hongyuan suddenly let go of her hand, grabbed her waist and retreated.
Seeing the shining swords chopping towards Jingwan and the others, it turned out that there were also assassins among the imperial guards. When both sides were like fire and water, one of them suddenly turned towards Jingwan and the others.
However, the assassin might have thought that they were distracted, but Li Hongyuan never relaxed his vigilance from beginning to end. At this time, he only believed in himself, and even divided his attention to his back.
In the process of Li Hongyuan bringing Jingwan and retreating, after all, there were two people and their movements were hindered. The other party's blade was getting closer and closer. Suddenly, he brought Jingwan to the side, causing the assassin's blade to cut empty air. Then Li Hongyuan kicked the other party's wrist. The blade clearly changed direction, but it didn't fall off. Looking closely, it turned out that the assassin had wrapped the hilt of the blade around his hand.
However, Li Hongyuan's kick was enough to break the other party's bones. With severe pain, how could he continue to use the blade?
So much so that Li Hongyuan didn't make another move.
The assassin only thought that he was being looked down upon. Seizing the opportunity, his other hand reached into his bosom. However, before he could take out the dagger, his eyes suddenly widened in disbelief. Then he met with a pair of cold and emotionless eyes, and the owner of those eyes was actually a middle-aged woman. With unwillingness, the assassin's body softened and fell to the ground.
Although it happened quickly, Jingwan also saw clearly that the assassin only paid attention to them, and her husband didn't make another move. Unexpectedly, Nanny Gong suddenly rushed out from behind. It was the first time that Jingwan saw Nanny Gong move so fast. Nanny Gong held the hairpin in her left hand, and her right hand went straight into the assassin's bosom. When the hairpin pierced into the assassin's neck, Nanny Gong changed the direction of the dagger and directly pierced into his body.
Nanny Gong stepped back, but didn't pull out the hairpin.
It wasn't the first time that she had seen such a scene. For Jingwan, it was still a little exciting. However, Jingwan's eyes didn't move away. Looking at the man who was gradually dying on the ground, a pool of blood quickly appeared under him, and the blood from his neck kept flowing out through the hairpin. Obviously, it was caused by the two main arteries being injured in both places.
However, wasn't the hairpin's lethality a little too strong? Jingwan suddenly thought of a possibility. What if the hairpin was shaped like a triangular thorn? Jingwan moved her eyes to the place where the hairpin was connected to the assassin's neck. Because of her good eyesight, she could see clearly in the dim light. Sure enough!
"Commander …"
A cry of surprise attracted Jing Wan's attention. Yu Zhongqing's body fell forward, and his back took a solid hit. However, his reaction was fast enough. He quickly turned around and blocked the second hit.
Yu Zhongqing's eyes were cold. Even if the opponent was his "brother", he showed no mercy at this moment.
Jingwan clenched her fists tightly. It was obvious that there was more than one person in the Imperial Army who was problematic. However, under the circumstances just now, everyone thought that there was only one. The second person suddenly made a move and even attacked them from behind. It was impossible to guard against. Perhaps he knew that it was impossible to succeed in attacking Li Hongyuan and Jingwan, so he chose Yu Zhongqing.
The "dancer" and "little eunuch" from before were like arrows at the end of their flight. They were quickly taken down. Several imperial guards turned around to help Yu Zhongqing. Perhaps it was because of anger, the eunuch was directly killed.
When everything was over, they all stood there in a daze. However, the good brothers who used to hang around each other's shoulders when they had nothing to do were now unconsciously on guard against each other. They were even at a loss of what to do. Obviously, because of what happened just now, they had become a little paranoid.
"You are the imperial guards carefully selected by the Emperor. You are responsible for the safety of the palace. Look at you now, what are you doing? You were in a hurry before, so you were taken advantage of. Now, can't you tell that the people around you are not your own brothers? " Yu Zhongqing did not speak harshly. His voice was still calm. It was also because of this calmness that the imperial guards regained their senses and quickly recovered.
At this moment, Yu Zhongqing was not very good. He was a little dazed and his body seemed to be a little stiff. He did not feel pain from the wound on his back. Instead, he felt numbness. However, he felt a chill down below. It was also a little sticky. It was obvious that he was still bleeding.
"If you don't want to die, quickly go to the imperial doctor." Li Hongyuan said coldly.
The others only then realized that Yu Zhongqing was injured. They all became anxious, so they took care of Yu Zhongqing again. The assassins on the ground were thrown to the side. Obviously, they looked like they had recovered, but their hearts were still a little weak. That was why they appeared to be a little out of it.
Li Hongyuan looked on coldly from the sidelines. Therefore, from his point of view, although these imperial guards looked pretty good, they were still stable in the palace. These people were still lacking in many things. Their psychological quality was not up to standard.
Yu Zhongqing naturally understood this as well. However, he was a little powerless right now. "Don't worry about me, go take a look …"
"Okay, leave two people here. I will help you deal with it. You should take care of your own life."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Yu Zhongqing also knew that now was not the time to be brave. If he completely failed this time, he would probably die with grievances. He had not taken his revenge.
Li Hongyuan did not care about the two helpless imperial guards. He let the guard check the situation of the assassins.
Guard Qian squatted down and stretched out his hand to check one by one. "Master, they are all dead."
"These two committed suicide by taking poison?" Li Hongyuan's gaze fell on the "dancer" and the "little eunuch".
"Yes. However, they did not put the poison in their mouths. They took the poison in advance. "
Li Hongyuan pulled Jingwan away. "Clean it up."
When they arrived at the place where the banquet was held, the entire place was already in a mess. There were also cries that sounded as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing. This was because several young princes and imperial grandsons had died, and countless were injured. The number of people lying on the ground was far more than expected. Although it was impossible to tell who was the assassin and who was the victim based on their clothes, it was still possible to tell from their hands. Moreover, these people basically all had weapons in their hands.
Li Hongyuan roughly scanned the area. The number of assassins was more than expected. Adding all of them together, it was already in the double digits. According to the four assassins they encountered, there should not be any survivors.
However, even so, it was enough to show that there was a loophole in the palace's defense.
Regardless of whether the main responsibility this time was Zhong Qing's, if he did not die this time, he would lose a layer of skin after this.
However, at this time, he should be in charge of the overall situation. Where was the person who was fearless and showing the power of heaven?
The smell of blood was a little heavy. With the death of those children, Jingwan was clearly seriously affected. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and wanted to vomit. After all, pregnant people were especially sensitive to smell. Moreover, there was also a psychological stimulation.
There were already people at the scene who took the initiative to take care of the follow-up matters. Even if there was no one, Li Hongyuan would only care about his wife at this moment. He took Jingwan and left without a trace of politeness. However, he did not leave the palace. Instead, he took Jingwan to Qin Shu Fei's Sweet Dew Palace. This choice did not seem to be a problem.
Originally, he thought that after such a thing happened, everyone would be in a panic. Most people's first reaction would be to gather together and not be separated. Therefore, Qin Shufei should not be in Sweet Dew Palace. The reality was a little unexpected.
Qin Shufei looked to be in good spirits. She should not have been frightened. After learning of Jingwan's situation, she immediately asked someone to bring her some sour plums. Did Sweet Dew Palace just happen to have something like sour plums? Clearly, it was specially prepared for Jingwan. Although he did not know when Jingwan would enter the palace, she might not come to Sweet Dew Palace after entering the palace.
However, this was Qin Shufei and Huanggui Fei's kind intentions.
According to the special relationship between Qin Shufei and Huanggui Fei, it could be said that Qin Shufei treated Li Hongyuan as a son. If it was really like this, there was nothing wrong with it.
Under normal circumstances, Jin Qinwang was a man of few words. Therefore, he should not be expected to say anything at this time. He quietly embraced Jingwan and gently stroked her back.
Seeing that Qin Shufei did not have any change in expression, Jingwan did not push Li Hongyuan away. She suppressed the nausea and tried not to think about those stimulating scenes as much as possible. She began to ask about the assassins. Today's matter was really too serious. This assassination was obviously carefully arranged. There was a plan, a clear goal, and the method was also sinister. Taking poison in advance, regardless of whether the mission was completed or whether they could escape unscathed, they would undoubtedly die.
Without any survivors, there were many things that could not be investigated.
This also meant that anything could happen.
Realizing the seriousness of the matter, the scene that stimulated Jingwan was also thrown to the side.
The eunuchs serving the dishes, dancers, musicians, and assassins seemed to have appeared from all directions. Their main target seemed to be the Emperor, but their targets were also the Princes. By the time the Imperial Guards arrived, the situation was already chaotic and the tragedy had already been caused … "Qin Shu Fei's face was a little pale and she still had lingering fears. Upon closer inspection, her clothes were still a little dirty. She didn't have the time to change, or perhaps she didn't have the strength to change. Thus, the impact on Qin Shu Fei was more serious than it looked.
Jingwan did not urge and waited for Qin Shufei to calm down.
"Su Guifei blocked a fatal blow for the Emperor. If it was not good, I'm afraid that her life would be in danger. The situation was not yet under control and the Emperor hurriedly carried Su shi to the Jade Essence Palace. "
The amount of information was huge. Jingwan and Li Hongyuan looked at each other, seeming to have smelled something.
"Later, it was the Gong Prince who stood up to stabilize the situation, then it was Kang Prince, and then the other princes also competed to show off." Qin Shufei had always been a calm and peaceful person, but at this time, she showed a slightly mocking expression.
She clearly saw that those princes, when the assassins rushed towards them, more than once they grabbed the people around them to block, rolling and crawling, where was the slightest bit of their usual manners. It should be known that all the princes had martial arts masters. When they fought on the martial arts field, they looked like they were skilled, but when it came to the end, none of them stood up to protect their wives and children.
Qin Shufei restrained the expression on her face, "The Imperial Concubines were all forced by them to return to their respective palaces. — — You need to pay attention, at that time, the Emperor's descendants and the Imperial Concubines should have been present, but you were the only ones absent. No matter what, those people will put this matter on you, so you must think of a way to deal with it. "
Whether it was anger or shifting the blame, what Qin Shufei said was inevitable.
"If it really was benwang's plan, how could they still be alive." Li Hongyuan said quite conceitedly.
Qin Shufei believed his words, but the problem was, he couldn't say that to outsiders. If he said it, it would be the same as exposing himself.
Jingwan patted him, "Be serious."
Li Hongyuan looked at Jingwan, then looked at Qin Shufei, "I know."
Hearing that, this pair of "mother-in-law and daughter-in-law" both breathed a sigh of relief, choosing to believe 100%.
Afterwards, after drinking a few mouthfuls of tea, Le Cheng Emperor's personal steward hurried over, "Nubi greets Shu fei niangniang, Wangye, Wangfei niangniang." In this kind of situation, coming to find Jin Qinwang was definitely a difficult task.
"Dispense with the formalities. Why are you coming to Sweet Dew Palace now? How is Gui fei niangniang? "Qin Shufei asked.
"Answering niangniang, Gui fei niangniang's life is in danger, the Emperor ordered nubi to come see Wangye … …" The head eunuch carefully looked at Li Hongyuan, "The Emperor asked Wangye to call Jin Qinwang fu's doctor to immediately enter the palace."
Looking at Li Hongyuan, he didn't have the slightest reaction, as if "Jin Qinwang" wasn't him.
Jingwan glanced at him, it was fine to just casually pretend, but if he was implicated, wouldn't he be tired?
"I know, Bodyguard Qian is outside, let him make a trip. Gonggong can return to Fuhuang's side to wait, in case there is a need, he can lend a hand. "Jingwan directly made the decision.
"Yes." The head eunuch's heart was practically filled with tears, Jin Qinwang fei was really a good person.
After they left, Qin Shufei jokingly said: "There are several high-ranking women in the Inner Palace, now only Wei Xian fei hasn't been treated by your fu's doctor. This person is also being raised in Jin Qinwang fu, if it was another place, she would definitely have been sent to the Imperial Hospital by the Emperor."
"Wei Xian fei may not have any serious problems, even if there is, she probably won't have that life." Jingwan had a slight smile, but her words were particularly cold and ruthless.
This caused Li Hongyuan to be somewhat surprised, Qin Shufei stared blankly, but then, no matter why she said this, they didn't feel that it was inappropriate.
"I'm guessing that it won't just be the doctors in your residence. Prince Rui's family will also be entering the palace soon. Who knows, Su Shi might even want to see you." Qin Shu Fei said faintly.
Obviously, if Gui Fei Su didn't grasp such a good opportunity, then she would have lived in vain. Grass would have long grown on her grave, and her bones would have turned to soil.
"So what if they turned over, if they can step on them once, twice, then they can step on them three or four times." Li Hongyuan really didn't care much about this matter. What he cared about was that relying on Prince Rui's people, they wouldn't be able to do what they did tonight.
