Chapter 1,091: Self-Destruction, Looking for a Chance of Survival!

The person behind this incident has not yet surfaced.

The palace guessed that it was the empress and concubine De, but maybe they were neither. Someone was deliberately stirring up trouble, making things worse, causing chaos in the court and palace, and even forcing the emperor to take action against his own son.

The previous plan was based on maple leaf paintings, but now Shao Wanru is the key.

Shao Wanru knew that if nothing happened to him, the matter would be investigated slowly and secretly. Even if others were suspicious, they would not know the truth of the matter. The Chengen Marquis Mansion would not tell, the Queen Mother and the Emperor would not tell, and he Of course I won't say it.

But if something happens to him and he cannot suppress it even if he wants to, it will inevitably cause the entire court and even the entire situation to undergo earth-shaking changes. It may even cause chaos in the government and the public, and another force will emerge.

In the previous life, the incident happened on the birthday of the Queen Mother, and then ended with King Zhou usurping the throne and King Zhou's death. On the surface, this incident was resolved.

Shao Wanru didn't know what other things happened during this period. Now it seemed that it was more than just that, and she accidentally fell into the center of the storm.

"Butler, the matter has come to an end. I have a solution here. What do you think?"...

Pedestrians on horseback were in a hurry, and a group of people were galloping away on the official road. They were all dressed in black and elegant, and it was obvious at a glance that they were not ordinary people. Pedestrians on both sides stepped to the side of the road one after another.

Suddenly, the person in front reined in the galloping horse and stopped. All the galloping horses following him also reined in the horse in one instant.

The group of people temporarily rested at a pavilion on the roadside. The people accompanying them surrounded the pavilion and no other people were allowed to come near.

Chu Liuchen was wearing a large black cloak and a dust-blocking gauze on his face, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes. They lacked the gentleness and handsomeness of the past, and had more of a fierce evil aura.

Sitting down on the stone bench in the pavilion, a carrier pigeon fell from the sky and landed in the hands of a guard beside him. The guard skillfully took out a rolled letter from under the feathers of the carrier pigeon and presented it to Chu Liuchen respectfully.

After Chu Liuchen took it and read it once, his eyes were cold, his eyes closed slightly, and he ordered to prepare the pen and ink.

"Yes." The guard hurriedly prepared the pen and ink. Chu Liuchen stood up, held the pen and thought for a moment, then immediately started writing with one swipe.

After I finished writing, I picked up the paper, looked at it, and nodded.

As soon as the ink was dry, the guard came over, folded the paper, stuffed it under the pigeon's wings again, and threw the pigeon into the air. The pigeon spread its wings and disappeared into the horizon.

"How long until we get to Beijing?" Chu Liuchen sat down again and asked.

"You can arrive before the Queen Mother's birthday." The leader of the guards said respectfully. They left the car behind and marched to Beijing in a hurry, just to catch up with the Queen Mother's birthday.

The carriage is still behind, accompanying the two princesses from the country, heading all the way to the capital. The carriage at the front belongs to Chu Liuchen, but it is empty at the moment. Only Xiao Xuanzi is supporting him to prevent others from seeing the flaw. Come.

Of course, if the two princesses of Ao Kingdom, or Qin Huaiyong and Chu Qing, really saw the flaw, he wouldn't care. What he was guarding against was someone secretly preventing him from returning to Beijing quickly.

Along the way to Beijing, some accidents always happened. It was obvious that someone deliberately blocked him. In this case, he abandoned the carriage and flew towards the capital.

"Master, but there was an accident in the capital?" asked An Cheng, the leader of the guards. He was an orphan. When Chu Liuchen went out as a child, he picked him up from the pile of dead people, and then followed Chu Liuchen. , loyal to Chu Liuchen.

There was indeed an accident in Beijing. This was a homing pigeon sent by the chief steward. Only the chief steward knew the news of his coming to Beijing. Even Shao Wanru didn't say it clearly, for fear that someone would put the idea on her head. She didn't know. the best.

Unexpectedly, even so, someone would have an idea on her head.

She was actually in danger. Chu Liuchen's eyes were filled with coldness. Since he had her idea, don't blame him for making the water in Beijing muddy. Didn't you want him to enter Beijing quickly? He mixed things up first before talking.

"It's no big accident. Continue to march quickly and return to Beijing as soon as possible." Chu Liuchen narrowed his eyes slightly, his smile showing an evil chill.

"Master, are you in good health?" An Cheng asked in a low voice, worried about his health. Even though His Highness is in good health now, those who have been following him for a long time will still be worried.

Is the prince, who has been holding the medicine jar for so many years, really healed?

"My king's health is very good now!" Chu Liuchen said calmly, stood up gracefully, strode to the horse outside the pavilion, took the reins from a guard, and flew onto the horse with a pull, slipping behind him The guard also got on the horse, flicked his whip, and the horse galloped forward.

An Cheng followed the first horse next to Chu Liuchen. He looked at King Chen on the horse in front of him uneasily, and sighed secretly in his heart. Xiao Xuanzi was indeed right. The master did not care about his own body, and he also sighed inwardly. I want to protect the princess!

In my heart, I looked at the princess even more highly.

Traveling in such a hurry was a bit overwhelming even for his always strong body, not to mention that the prince had always been in such a sickly body. Even if he was better now, his body would still be about the same as that of an average person.

He signaled to a guard next to him. The guard nodded and galloped out of the queue. He went to the front to look for a sharp spot. He found a suitable place and told the prince to have a good rest.

An Cheng took a few steps back and lowered his voice to Qi Jue, who was riding a horse next to him: "Doctor Qi, my body..."

Qi Jue was so tired from the rapid march that he didn't even want to say anything. He waved his hands impatiently and took a deep breath: "Don't ask me, I'm almost exhausted. My body is definitely better than mine, but if I keep marching like this, , no matter how good a person is, you can’t resist it, you’d better go and persuade me to take a rest early!”

Qi Jue felt that he was at a loss. He was following the carriage back and forth, which was very good. Why did he leave the carriage and march quickly, and took him with him. He was just a doctor, not a guard. Why did he ask him to follow him? , it actually doesn’t matter whether you have yourself as a doctor or not!

"That's good, Doctor Qi, go slow!" Hearing that Master Qi was in good health, An Cheng calmed down. Looking at Doctor Qi's helpless look, he made a special joke, "Doctor Qi, you should practice more, you If this body stays like this, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get a wife!"

"Hey, what are you talking about!" Qi Jue was unhappy and said with sweat stains on his face. He hated talking about marrying a wife.

"Doctor Qi, come on, I want to see you!" An Cheng left with a smile.

Chu Liuchen covered up Xingzang and came all the way to the capital. This was something no one could have imagined. At the moment, the focus of these people was on Prince Chen's Mansion.

The chief steward received the news of the carrier pigeon in the evening. After sitting in the house for a while, he went to look for Shao Wanru. After the two discussed it, the chief steward returned to the front yard and continued as before. Handling affairs in the front yard, the affairs of Prince Chen's Mansion are basically handled by this butler.

The great butler would deal with it very late every day, especially when Chu Liuchen was not in the house. Otherwise, there were some matters that could be handled by Xiao Xuanzi, who was the heir prepared for him by the great butler.

The night is gradually getting darker. It is almost late spring at this time. The weather is getting hotter and the sky is getting late. But even so, after the sun goes down, the sky immediately becomes darker, getting darker and darker.

The lights in Shao Wanru's inner courtyard were still on, and she didn't sleep either. There was not only one person under the shadow of the lamp, but also several maids. From time to time, voices could be heard, which was very eye-catching in the night.

A man in black appeared out of nowhere and suddenly broke into Prince Chen's mansion. Arrows and crossbows were fired at the figures in the half-open window. There were sounds of women screaming, and someone yelled: "Princess, princess!"

"Come quickly, come and save the princess!"

"Someone is coming, someone is coming!" A maid rushed out and shouted loudly.

In the dark night, a man in black looked around him blankly. The person he brought was still there, but he hadn't taken action yet. Why did he shoot an arrow directly into the house where Princess Chen lived?

Shouldn't assassination be done with a sword? Using an arrow with such a loud force is not a good sign. This place is connected to the palace, and there are guards sent by the emperor to guard the entrance. Originally, he wanted to do it without knowing it, but now it is being done by someone. Something went wrong?

"Let's go!" the black-clothed leader said decisively. Regardless of whether Princess Chen is okay or not, we can no longer stay in this place.

They were just jumping to leave when they suddenly saw a man in black appearing on the opposite side. He seemed to be leaving, but he actually bumped into him twice.

Both groups of people couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then started to attack directly. Since they were not their own, they must be from other people's families.

There are many people secretly plotting against Princess Chen. Now that you have met her, just take action.

In the darkness, blood splattered, swords flashed with cold light, and screams continued. Everyone was desperately trying to get rid of each other, and then quickly fled the scene. No one dared to stay here longer. Things would get serious soon. The entire city will be under martial law. The longer we stay, the greater the possibility of exposure. Who wouldn't risk their lives?

Arrows and crossbows came from no one knew where they came from, and they were shot at the crowd indiscriminately. Under the indiscriminate attack, some people were hit by arrows.

A lot of lights were faintly coming from the outer courtyard, and the people in the front yard were about to rush in. When several people in black saw this situation, they knew it was not good. They would take away those who could be taken away by their family members, and just use a sword to take away those who could not. Immediately, all the men in black dispersed and fled for their lives.

The butler finally rushed over with his guards.

Half of this group of guards are the guards of Prince Chen's Mansion, and the other half are the guards sent to Prince Chen's Mansion by the emperor.

Seeing the dead man in black inside and outside Princess Chen's courtyard, everyone's expressions changed drastically.

The butler hurried forward and knocked on the courtyard door, but no one inside opened the door. A guard jumped in from the wall and opened the door. He saw several maids and women in the courtyard, but they were soft-footed and moved. She couldn't move either. The woman in the inner courtyard had never experienced such a thing. She was so frightened that her face turned pale, her legs and feet were weak, and she couldn't even open the courtyard door.

The chief steward rushed into the main room and said to the guard with a stern face: "Quick, go and ask the doctor to come over."

One look at this and knew that Princess Chen's condition was not good.
