Chapter 450: Comfort

When Yun Fenghuang heard the news for the first time, he couldn't believe his ears: "What did you say? Who was assassinated? What was the result?!"

Chen Jing cautiously said: "Returning to your mother, Uncle Zhaowu was assassinated while he was patrolling the army. The assassin was skilled in martial arts and ruthless. Fortunately, the accompanying guards tried their best to stop him. Among them, the deputy general Qi...Qi Jiulu finally protected Uncle Zhaowu from being killed. The assassins continue to hunt and kill, and now both of them are unconscious!"

To be honest, when he heard the news, he took it as good news.

After all, everyone knows that the Queen's greatest support is Uncle Zhaowu Gu Fangshu.

As a result, Gu Fangshu doesn't even know if he can save his life. Isn't it good news for Xuanqing Palace?

But as an old man in front of the imperial concubine, who doesn't know the entanglement between the imperial concubine and Qi Jiulu?

Even if the imperial concubine keeps saying that she is just her ex-fiancé, it doesn't matter if she has been married for a long time...

If the noble concubine dares to say this, who would dare to believe it as a servant?

In particular, when the Xie family was destroyed last year, someone once asked to see the noble concubine in the name of the Xie family. As a confidant who helped arrange the arrangement at that time, Chen Jing knew in her heart that that person...was sent by Qi Jiulu.

The ex-fiancé who had already married a wife and had a daughter secretly sent someone to the imperial capital under such circumstances, and the noble concubine actually met her. What does this mean?

Chen Jing didn't dare to guess, didn't dare to think.

At this moment, he was silently imagining that he was just a stone without any emotions, without any sorrow or joy, and he just reported in a straight line: "The assassin has been dismembered on the spot. According to the investigation of the Imperial City Commissioner, he is suspected to be the remnant of the regent."

"The remnants of the regent..." Yun Fenghuang's face was gloomy, and after a moment, he sneered, "No, it's impossible. If the regent has such talents under his command, why did he do it now? Wouldn't it be more effective to assassinate Uncle Zhaowu before He was destroyed?"

Chen Jing said in a low voice: "Madam, it is said that the assassin had been dormant in the army before, and even got the position of captain, otherwise he would not be qualified to approach Uncle Zhao Wu. He has his own camp. Later, when the camp was searched, his suicide note was found. ..."

According to the description in the suicide note, the assassin had been subdued by the regent for some time, and it was not used to deal with Uncle Zhao Wu.

On the contrary, with his skill, hiding in the army, it was the regent who fought to the death with the Ji family, relying solely on the deterrence of the North Army, or Gu Fangshu.

Therefore, this person was specially arranged to protect Uncle Zhao Wu's safety.

However, good luck tricked people, and after more than ten years of effort, the regent failed to ascend the throne as he wished, and was instead abandoned by the Gu family.

After that, the regent had no time to spare because of the temple affairs, and never gave any orders to the assassins.

On the contrary, the assassin deeply hated him, especially after the death of the regent and his wife, the assassin did not believe the conclusion of the court at all, and believed that the regent and his wife were murdered and framed.

And the culprit...

It was impossible for him to touch the person who really made him suspicious, let alone avenge his benefactor with his own hands.

So he thought about it and thought that in the final analysis, the Gu family could not escape the guilt.

If they hadn't fallen to Chunjia at the critical moment, the regent would not have been defeated so badly that he died in a daze, unable to fight back.

It was of course Mrs. Gu who made the decision to take refuge in Chunjia.

But the assassin is in the army, one is that it is inconvenient to go to the imperial capital to seek the old man Gu's life; the second is that the old man Gu is very old, and it is not worthwhile to kill him.

What's more, as we all know, the current core of the Gu family is Gu Fangshu.

Therefore, the assassin decided to assassinate Zhaowu Bo to repay the regent for his kindness.

The reason why he didn't choose the time Yun Fenghuang said was not because he didn't have a chance, but because the assassin himself was also a member of the Han family. He avenged the regent, he was loyal, but he couldn't bear to cause the front line to be defeated and endanger the soldiers. common people.

No, he didn't act until Wei He was pacified, seeing that Uncle Zhao Wu would not be needed in the frontier for a short time.

"..." Yun Fenghuang was speechless for a long time after hearing this, before asking for a moment, "How is Uncle Zhaowu doing now? Although the assassin's attack was sudden, he is still a family general, so why would he need others to use his body as a shield to protect him?" ?”

Thinking of the fish and meat town that the Ke family had set up a few days ago, he frowned slightly, "Could it be self-directed and acted?"

"Your Majesty, it shouldn't be." Chen Jing whispered, "Because I heard that one of the assassins attacked suddenly, and the second one is that the blade in the assassin's hand is very poisonous. Actually...Uncle Zhaowu..."

He thought about it, and boldly added, "...and Lieutenant General Qi are not seriously injured, and their lives are dying now, mainly because of the serious poisoning."

So is Qi Jiulu stupid?

Yun Fenghuang was upset, and thought: "Gu Fangshu's identity, it's not that he doesn't have personal guards by his side! Even the personal guards didn't help to block the knife, what are you going up for?!"

If this person survives, the return will definitely be not small.

But if you don't survive, then...

She collected herself, tried her best not to think wildly, and said in a deep voice: "I understand, I really didn't expect that such a thing would happen under such circumstances."

So he ordered the left and right to dress up for himself, and went to the queen's side to condolences.

At this moment, both the master and the servant thought of the scene when the news of the Xie Clan's demise came, and the Zhonggong quickly rushed to the Huanhua Hall to comfort Yun Fenghuang hypocritically.

Gu Zhen's consolation that time made Yun Fenghuang lie down for several days before recovering.

How could such an opportunity be missed?

Yun Fenghuang rushed to the empress' carriage, but was stopped by the palace servants, saying that the empress was worried about Uncle Zhao Wu, and she was in a mess and didn't want to see her concubine.

She looked around and saw that Concubine Shu and Concubine De and other concubines who arrived earlier were also there. They all received news and wanted to visit the Queen, but were blocked.

Originally these people were about to disperse, seeing the imperial concubine, they naturally wanted to come over to pay their respects.

Yun Fenghuang said no, Concubine De came over and said, "Is my sister also here to see the Empress? Sigh, I really didn't expect this to happen...The Empress must hold on."

Having said that, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but bend, obviously she couldn't help gloating.

That's right, two days ago, she was depressed that Gu Fangshu was about to receive the emperor's reward, but now whether Gu Fangshu can survive is a question!

As long as Gu Fangshu gets cold, the Gu family will be ruined!

So what if there is grief and honor?

When the time comes, the two direct princes in front of Gu Zhen, even if they are appointed heirs by Chunjia, it is hard to say whether they will be able to secure their positions!

Yun Fenghuang glanced at her, his expression remained unchanged, and he only said slowly: "Of course I came to see the empress, did the empress not see you? Who came first? Can you see the empress?"

Concubine Shu whispered beside her: "The concubine is close, so the concubine came first."

In fact, on the way back to Miyagi, the frames of concubines are arranged according to their status.

The noble concubine was even closer than her, but Yun Fenghuang wasn't really worried about the queen, and even took care of her appearance before coming out, but she fell behind her.

At this moment, Concubine Shu said: "When the concubine came, I heard the empress crying inside, so I didn't dare to disturb her. After a while, some palace people came out, saying that it was my concubine's wish, and the empress was sympathetic. I'm so overwhelmed, I don't want to see guests. Let my concubine go back first."

Concubine De interjected: "When my younger sister came, I heard the maid talking to Concubine Shu."

"I understand." Yun Fenghuang nodded, stepped forward, and asked the maid waiting outside the phoenix chariot, "How is the empress doing now?"

The palace maid tried to persuade many concubines to leave, she was a little annoyed to be honest, but it was the imperial concubine who asked the question, she didn't dare to make a mistake, she hurriedly said cautiously: "Return to the imperial concubine, my empress just now..."

"Don't say anything just now." The noble concubine interrupted her displeasedly, "It's been so long, how do you know what the empress is doing now? Just go in and have a look, you don't have to worry many people like this palace!"

The maid accompanied her with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is very disturbed now, and she doesn't want to be disturbed."

"Why do I want to disturb the empress?" Yun Fenghuang sneered in his heart, wanting to be alone?

Think beautifully!

Back then, the huge family of the palace was wiped out, how many young blood relatives were still ignorant, and died at the hands of the clan like this... Zhonggong didn't give her a quiet time!

Now Gu's family is safe and sound, but Uncle Zhaowu is not well alone, maybe even if he dies, can he still survive?

The queen wants to be alone?

Why? !

The noble concubine said calmly, "But the empress had been ill for several times because of Uncle Zhao Wu, and she didn't even have time to worry about palace affairs at that time. Now that I hear such bad news again... I am worried that the empress will not be able to bear it. So You'd better go in and have a look first, if there is something wrong, you'd better pass it on to the imperial physician as soon as possible."

The court lady also felt that it made sense when she said this, but she hesitated when she thought that the queen had just ordered no one to go in and disturb her: "Return to the words of the imperial concubine, the empress said..."

"Bastard!" Who knows, the noble concubine who was still talking kindly about the queen just now, turned her face like a book, and suddenly shouted, "I broke up with you and smashed it to pieces to make sense, but you are still hesitating on purpose!? I see, you have ulterior motives at all, and you want to see the queen empress well! That’s right, since the regent remnant can hide in front of Uncle Zhaowu and seek an opportunity to assassinate Zhaowu, how can you let the empress go?! Aren’t you also the regent remnant, deliberately Murder the Empress Empress here!?"

The court lady couldn't help being shocked when she heard this accusation, and wanted to argue: "The imperial concubine is careful, maidservant..."

But the imperial concubine didn't give her a chance to explain at all, she let Chen Jing take him down with a flick of her sleeve, covered her mouth on the spot, and then ordered someone to forcibly open the door of the phoenix chariot!

Royal trips are naturally extraordinary.

Chunjia's imperial chariot occupies an area like a rather spacious house, with several rooms inside, and it can even hold small court meetings temporarily.

As for the Empress's one, although it is much smaller than the emperor's chariot, it is also meticulously crafted. When the doors and windows are closed, there is no sound from inside or outside.

The queen, who wanted to be alone and quiet, naturally ordered the windows and doors to be closed tightly. At this moment, when she heard the door being slammed open, she was startled. She half stood up from the couch, and saw Chen Jing, who was holding a sledgehammer, stepped aside, revealing the figure of the noble concubine. Then his expression changed: "Concubine Min, what do you mean?!"

"Empress!" Gu Zhen was startled and angry at this moment, thinking that her father's life and death were uncertain, and the emperor was about to turn his face and deny him. Who knew that the imperial concubine looked at her with cold eyes at first.

But in an instant, he turned into a look of great concern, heaved a long sigh of relief, and even reached out and patted his chest, "The empress is fine, we can finally rest assured!"

As she spoke, she said something behind her, and then she heard a lot of people echoing, saying things like "It's fine", "It's really great", "I'm so worried". Class words.

The queen was suspicious, turned over and sat up subconsciously, and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter with you?!"
