Chapter 217 Assassination

"Big sister." At about the same time, King Jin also pulled Princess Zhaoqing and King Yan into a corner, and reminded in a low voice, "Today is a good day for Grandma Yuan. The Queen Mother always does things carefully, and it will be too late if the palace is too late." Don't let the water go, but something went wrong at this time, I'm afraid there is something wrong. Now that the father, the queen and the queen are not around, the fire will be difficult to put out in a short while, we have to be careful!"

Princess Zhaoqing frowned, shaking the round fan in her hand quickly, and said, "Why don't we ignore the prince and go find the queen?"

"This is inappropriate." Before King Jin could speak, King Yan shook his head, "Big sister, father, queen, and queen are leaving hand in hand. Even if there is any trouble, we will be able to deal with it. Let's go now, and if there is nothing wrong That's all. If there is any accident, it may be to delay. And the crown prince and us... the father and queen mother are not here at the moment, Grandmother Yuan is old, and she may not have much affection for us. If we rashly leave everyone's sight, who knows he will Won't do anything?"

King Jin nodded: "Eldest sister, Brother Nine is right! You think the crown prince is not stupid, how can he not know your nature? If he really wants to leave this place, what will he do to find his father and queen alone?" Say it for you to hear? Can't he just walk away quietly? There are so many people around at this moment, we didn't keep staring at him before, did we?"

Zhaoqing's expression was sour, he closed the fan, and snorted coldly, "I'll ask him..."

"Don't go to Big Sister." The two younger brothers persuaded together, and whispered, "The palace is in chaos at the moment, we are just speculating, and there is no evidence. It seems that we are deliberately finding fault. We just know what to do."

Let Princess Zhaoqing follow the two of them closely, don't wander around, and if there is chaos later, don't panic, and be careful not to be squeezed apart.

Although they were raised by the same mother, they are still close relatives after all. They persuaded Zhaoqing a lot together, and then asked someone to call Wei Wang to come with the two princesses Changqing and Yanqing, suggesting that everyone get together.

The two princesses, Changqing and Yanqing, are fine, one of them was not raised by Yunfenghuang, and she became Yunfenghuang's daughter only halfway through; the other, although Yunfenghuang's imperial daughter, was born too late and was not taken seriously , The relationship with the favored brothers and sisters like King Zhaoqing Jin is mediocre.

However, King Wei felt a little uncomfortable. He was the first child of Yunfenghuang to know that he was not the heir of his mother. Therefore, he was most eager to get the approval of Yunfenghuang and Yunfenghuang's other children.

In the past, everyone did approve of him, and Yun Fenghuang had a special preference for him.

But this time, he was forced to "repose on the couch" for a period of time. Maybe he missed the days after Yun Fenghuang was abolished. There seemed to be an invisible gap between his brothers and sisters and him.

Even now when King Jin Yanwang was discussing with Princess Zhaoqing, he didn't think of calling him.

It's just that King Wei has a gentle nature, although he was sad, he didn't say anything, he just responded in a low voice.

In fact, King Jin and King Yan also knew his mood, but they glanced at each other, but they didn't say anything to comfort him.

The two of them, as well as Princess Zhaoqing, and King Qin, who was already a vassal, actually had some resentment towards King Wei.

Although I also know that it was not Wei Wang himself who wanted to leave Yun Fenghuang alone some time ago, and refused to tide over the difficulties with his adoptive mother and brothers and sisters, but he still couldn't help but transfer some of his resentment towards Yin Qu and the Yin family to Wei. on the king.

"Ninth brother, the crown prince has always been calm." The brothers and sisters gathered together, but the king of Jin still refused to settle down, and whispered to the king of Yan alone, "In this situation today, he might take the opportunity to make a murderous move. It may also continue to hold back. Do you think we should give him something to do?"

King Yan raised his eyebrows, and said in a low voice, "Can you hide it from your father?"

King Jin said: "It depends on whether there will be chaos later. If there is chaos, who will make it clear at that time?"

The undercurrent is raging here, and the movement of the fire scene is getting louder and louder.

Even sitting in the flower hall, he could already clearly hear the movement of people rushing to put out the fire outside.

"It's been a while, why listen, this fire is getting bigger and bigger?" Yun Fenghuang glanced at the servant, "Go and ask what's going on."

Chen Jing hurriedly apologized and went out, and came back in a moment to report: "Madam, it is said that there are several places where fire oil has been poured. There is not much sand and gravel, and now they are sending people to dig at Changling."

Yun Fenghuang snorted and said with a smile: "It's really a big deal."

If it's just a little kerosene, even if the firefighters were unprepared at the beginning and allowed it to spread, it wouldn't be able to wreak havoc.

With such commotion, it is obvious that there is a lot of kerosene.

Chunjia said calmly: "That's fine, if you act like this, it's impossible to hide anything."

It's time to pull out the remnants of the ghosts that have been lingering for so many years!

The emperor and empress waited patiently, all ready to meet all kinds of shocking changes.

However……

After a while, the fire was gradually extinguished!

The residence of the Empress Dowager is safe and sound, without any changes.

Empress: "..."

The corner of Yun Fenghuang's mouth twitched, and he suggested: "Before we leave, shall we also go to greet the emperor's grandmother?"

By the way, try one or two?

"The fire is extinguished?" In the room, the Empress Dowager was falling asleep. She was gently pushed for a while by the personal servants before waking up. The last one, Anhao, did not speak for a long while, before asking coldly, "Is there nothing serious in the palace?"

Chunjia said: "It's nothing serious to ask the emperor's grandmother Hongfu, but the destruction of some pavilions and rooms has nothing to do with the overall situation."

The Empress Dowager sneered when she heard this, and said, "What about outside the palace? Is there nothing wrong outside the palace?"

The emperor and empress were startled, and quickly glanced at each other, Yun Fenghuang hurriedly said: "Can I ask the emperor's grandmother for advice?"

"The Ai family has nothing to teach you now." The empress dowager said disapprovingly, "you have come here too, how did you come here back then, are you still living the same life now?"

She knew there was something in her words, but before the emperor asked again, she issued another order to expel the guests.

Yun Fenghuang still wanted to play tricks and continue pestering, but the Empress Dowager immediately went under the quilt, turned over and faced inside, assuming a posture of ignoring her.

With her status and seniority, she can't go up and forcefully pull people over?

So Yun Fenghuang hesitated for a while and followed the emperor to leave.

After going out, she didn't go back to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, and followed the emperor directly to Xingxintang.

While on the way, someone from the Imperial City Department hurried over and reported: "Your Majesty, just now all the important officials of the clan went out of the palace to avoid the fire, many of them were assassinated, and now they are fleeing scattered! Some clansmen were probably confused. The other courtyards have not returned, and they are going to the fief!"

Yun Fenghuang's complexion changed, Chunjia also frowned, and said, "I see, who were assassinated? Are there any casualties? Who are the people who went to the fief?"

Because there are many congratulatory guests, the Qishan Mountain is vast, the other courtyards are scattered, the vegetation in the mountains is luxuriant, and there are many hiding places. The Imperial City Secretary is not very clear at the moment. At this moment, he can only report in general, probably headed by King Zhou. Almost all of the time-honored clansmen were assassinated.

Due to the different ages, skills, and vigilance of the various clan nobles, the losses are also different.

Currently the most unlucky one is King Zhou. He has a relatively high status in the clan, but he is old and pampered and pampered for many years. Unsuspecting, he was shot in the chest by a poisonous arrow flying out of the forest, and now his life is in danger!

It's fine if it's just like this, after all, the king of Zhou is also at this age, and the son has already been established, even if he dies, at most the emperor will lose face, and the court will appease him and let the son take the throne.

However, after King Zhou was assassinated, the team was in an uproar, and everyone rushed to protect him. At this time, the second feather arrow shot through the head of King Zhou's son!

Poor King Zhou's heir is actually about to know his destiny considering his age. Because of his father's health and longevity, he has not sat on the throne so far. Instead, he taught the King of Zhou to send a white-haired man to a black-haired man first!

You must know that the previous few times when the king of Zhou came to the imperial capital, he did not bring his son with him, but left him in the fief to preside over the overall situation.

The reason why I brought this son with me this time is because I feel that I am getting old, I am afraid that time is running out, and Chunjia is still in her prime, and she is full of heroism, and the future will be long. It's hard. That's why he led his son all the way to get closer to the emperor.

Who would have thought that this move would cause the son of the world to break Qishan's soul?

Apart from the unlucky father and son, there were also some casualties among the other clan members, but basically the nobles themselves were injured, and those who died were only his confidantes.

As for the important ministers, it was similar, but they suffered injuries of varying degrees, but their lives were not in danger.

Chunjia's face was ashen, and he said in a cold voice: "What do the forbidden army eat?! Not to mention the water in the palace, the assassins are lurking outside the palace, and they are still ignorant?!"

Although it was the Imperial Army who scolded, the people in the Imperial City Division were even more frightened, and immediately knelt down to plead guilty: "I am guilty!"

After all, the Forbidden Army was responsible for the defense, and although the clan officials were assassinated near the palace, it was considered a dereliction of duty by the Forbidden Army.

However, the Department of the Imperial City, who was in charge of intelligence spying, hadn't noticed the infiltration of these assassins in advance, but how could he get away with it?

Yun Fenghuang was a little puzzled: "Why didn't the assassination happen in the palace, but the people who left the palace were attacked?"

Could it be that the purpose of the people behind the scenes is for Zhou Wang and his son...?

How can this be!

To target the father and son, in the fiefdom, on the way to the imperial capital, it is better than under the eyes of the emperor!

She vaguely felt that the situation was wrong, thinking about what the Empress Dowager said just now, her expression suddenly became solemn, and when she entered the Xinxin Hall, she saw Chunjia repeatedly ordering people to come over, and then stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, could it be someone Want to challenge the clan?"

Chunjia looked up at her, and said briefly: "In the past two years, I have been discussing with my left and right, how to cut down the feudal clan."

Yun Fenghuang suddenly realized.
