Chapter 104: He Is an Assassin From the Previous Dynasty

In the imperial study.

Xiao Yunzhou stared at the thin eunuch who was frightened and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy and kowtowed to admit his mistakes.

"I deserve to die, I deserve to die!"

"I didn't mean it!"

The eunuch kept kowtowing, and his forehead was red and swollen after a few times, and his face turned pale with fear.

Is this a man with a force of 99?

Xiao Yunzhou suspected that he had heard it wrong.

The girl couldn't be wrong, the only one who could be wrong was him.

"Idiot! You can't even walk!" Wei Zheng was about to kick the eunuch, "If you hurt the little princess, I'll beat you to death, and you can't afford to pay!"

Xiao Yunzhou saw that Wei Zheng was about to kick the eunuch to the ground, and his eyebrows jumped fiercely.

"Stop!" He put down the teacup and stood up.

Wei Zheng was stunned.

The eunuch on the ground had snot and tears on his face.

Xiao Yunzhou stood up nervously.

He quickly walked out from behind the desk, walked to Wei Zheng, and took the pink-faced, blinking grape-like eyes of little Chuchu into his arms.

Only when he hugged his daughter and smelled the milky fragrance on her body did Xiao Yunzhou breathe a sigh of relief. He took two steps back and looked at the frail little eunuch who was still kneeling on the ground in fear.

"Your Majesty, have someone drag him out?" Wei Zheng asked.

"Shut up." Yunzhou took a deep breath.

His military strength was 99, and the peak period when Duke Dingguo led troops to fight in his early years was only 93.

Drag this little eunuch out?

Who will drag him?

I'm afraid none of the imperial guards standing outside the palace can drag him!

Xiao Chuchu was also fully awake at this moment. In Xiao Yunzhou's arms, she suddenly remembered the plot of the novel.

[Hey, I remember that there was an assassin from the previous dynasty lurking in the Jingguo Palace, who wanted to assassinate the emperor to avenge the previous dynasty. Could it be him? 】

Xiao Yunzhou stared, and even the brazier in the imperial study could not dispel the chill on his body.

Assassins from the previous dynasty?

The founding emperor of Jing State, his ancestor, was once a farmer who served crops in the fields.

But the previous dynasty suffered from many disasters and heavy taxes, and more and more people starved to death, so gradually refugees rose up in rebellion.

The founding emperor of Jing State was one of them. In the end, he led tens of thousands of followers around him to overthrow the previous dynasty, pardoned the world, and changed the country's name to Jing.

Most of the descendants of the imperial family of the previous dynasty burned themselves to death in the palace of the previous dynasty. According to records, there was no one left.

The more Xiao Yunzhou recalled, the more frightened he became.

In recent years, Jing State has faced crises from neighboring countries and river epidemics, but has not encountered assassins from the previous dynasty!

How many years has the previous dynasty been destroyed?

Xiao Yunzhou looked at the eunuch serving tea on the ground, who was only about seventeen or eighteen years old and had a delicate face. Instantly, he held his daughter in his arms, not even letting her little hands show.

"Your Majesty, I deserve to die. I didn't protect the little princess just now." Wei Zheng also knelt down and admitted his mistake immediately.

Xiao Yunzhou shifted his fearful eyes to Wei Zheng, trying to calm his voice, "You... do deserve to die."

Wei Zheng was stunned, huh?

No, wait.

Wei Zheng was terrified, he was just talking casually, what does it have to do with him!

"Please punish me, Your Majesty."

Xiao Yunzhou took a deep breath, looking at Wei Zheng who personally selected the eunuchs who served tea and poured water for him in front of each imperial eunuch, he felt that Wei Zheng's vision was shit.

So many little eunuchs for Wei Zheng, the big eunuch, to choose, but he picked a former assassin after thousands of choices?

Awesome, Wei Zheng...

Xiao Yunzhou wished he could let the imperial physician check his eye disease on the spot!

"Your Majesty." Wei Zheng wanted to speak, but was stopped by Xiao Yunzhou.

"No need to say more, you will be punished after the shift." Xiao Yunzhou gritted his teeth.

He looked at the eunuch serving tea on the ground with a 'panicked' face.

"He doesn't have eyes behind him, and he doesn't know you are standing behind him holding the little princess."

The panicked look on the eunuch's face was startled, and he looked up in surprise.

Wei Zheng was also shocked and shocked.

The emperor spoke for the newcomer serving tea, but didn't speak for himself, the eunuch in front of the emperor?

Punishing himself, not the eunuch?

"I'll deal with the matter at hand. Okay, everyone retreat outside the palace, I still have something to discuss with the Imperial Hospital."

Xiao Yunzhou pretended to be calm, but he held the little princess's hand tightly to protect her, not daring to relax a bit.

He kept watching the eunuch who seemed to have a force value of 99 retreat to the outside of the imperial study with his peripheral vision, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

[Aww, according to the plot, the assassin of the previous dynasty who sneaked into the palace was raised as a dead man, and learned the skills of killing since childhood. 】

Xiao Chuchu frowned, [But he sneaked into the palace, what kind of work he did, what was his name, it seems that it is not written, or I forgot it? 】

Xiao Yunzhou: "......!"

The fairy world's reminder to the little princess was not written?

How could such an important thing not be written, just forgotten?

But my daughter is the reincarnation of a fairy, it is normal for nobles to forget things.

Alas.

Xiao Yunzhou sighed secretly.

My daughter's warning has been of great use.

He can't ask for more.

Xiao Yunzhou was just thinking about who to find to save the emperor, when he heard his darling Chuchu's analysis.

[I remember that this former assassin had three sesame-sized red moles on his right arm. ]

[Whether this eunuch serving tea is an assassin or not, just lift up his sleeves and you'll know. ]

Xiao Yunzhou: "..."

He lowered his head and looked at the innocent little Chuchu in his arms, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry on the spot.

My daughter is so innocent.

With a force of 99, who should I send to lift someone's sleeves?

If I lift them up, what if there are three red moles? This person will definitely know that his identity as an assassin has been exposed, and then he will be done with it. What should I do if he breaks into the imperial study?

[I remember that the assassination happened on the Lantern Festival, a day for family reunion. ]

The closer Xiao Chuchu got to the time of the incident, the clearer the plot of the novel became in her mind.

[Ah, on the day of the Lantern Festival, the assassin stabbed the emperor's father in the right chest with his first sword, injuring his lung. ]

Xiao Yunzhou's arms stiffened, and sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead.

Is he so miserable?

[After the assassin's sword, there was no guard in the hall who was stronger than the assassin, and he was unable to stop the assassin, causing the assassin to stab the emperor with a second sword. ]

"!!"

Xiao Yunzhou's face turned pale.

He knew that there might not be another capable person with a strength of 99 in the entire palace!

What's more, this assassin was a master of killing skills as described by the fairy.

[The second sword went towards the emperor's heart, and at the critical moment of life and death, the queen mother stood up and blocked it for the emperor. ]

What?

Xiao Yunzhou's face changed drastically.

[The queen mother hugged the assassin's body directly, and then let the guards surround him and hacked the assassin to death. ]

[But the queen mother was seriously injured and died, and seven guards died tragically. ]

Xiao Yunzhou's body was cold and his eyes were painful.

Mother...

There are seven more people who are also gone because of the assassin...

Xiao Chuchu frowned in Xiao Yunzhou's arms.

She liked her grandmother, the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother gave her share of the money from the last auction of jewelry and calligraphy to her mother.

Although they had not met a few times, the Queen Mother was really good to their Liu family.

The Queen Mother was on Xiao Chuchu's list of concubines who had no ill feelings.

And the emperor's guards, because of Pang Rushong, often teased her when Wei Zheng held her around.

Xiao Chuchu didn't want these guards to get into trouble, nor did she want the Queen Mother to get into trouble.

Oh.

She frowned in worry, [We can't alert the enemy now, we have to find a way to deal with the assassin. ]

[But this assassin has been trained by the death squad since he was a child, he is very smart, and the knockout drug has no effect on him. ]

Xiao Chuchu felt nervous thinking about the description of the assassin in the novel.

【He not only knows how to identify poison, but also has received special training in observing people's words and expressions. 】

Xiao Yunzhou frowned more and more as he listened.

Training in observing people's words and expressions?

Then he might notice any suspicious behavior towards the assassin.

If he fails to capture him, he might be killed by him instead.

If he is not well prepared, a large number of guards will be killed or injured in the palace.

But Xiao Yunzhou was just thinking about it when he heard his daughter's surprise.

【Huh? The system issued a task for me as the emperor's father? 】

What!

Xiao Yunzhou stared.

The fairy world issued a trial task for the fairy to him, the emperor?

Xiao Chuchu's surprised voice was soon heard clearly by Xiao Yunzhou.

【Limited-time task: Influence the assassins of the previous dynasty and use them for Jingguo! 】

【Deadline: Before the assassination on the Lantern Festival. 】

【If the task fails, the emperor will be seriously injured and the queen mother will die tragically! 】

Xiao Yunzhou sat on the throne in a daze.
