Chapter 306

Chapter 306 The Emperor was assassinated

After that meal, Emperor Liang De ordered the Ninth Princess to accompany Xue Qingyin every day to relieve her boredom, and the Seventh Prince to pick up his sister after school every day.

In this way, Xue Qingyin and his brother and sister met every day.

She saw them more often than her biological mother, Concubine Dong Xian.

The Ninth Princess was simple-minded. When she was raised in the West Palace, she suffered a lot because her biological mother was not favored and they were far away from the main palace.

Now that she is with Xue Qingyin every day, she feels like the emperor's daughter.

She eats well, wears well, and the palace people treat her with coaxing and flattery...

The Ninth Princess naturally likes it very much. Every time she waits until the sun sets, she is reluctant to leave.

Gradually, even the Seventh Prince's homework is brought to Penglai Palace to do.

"Don't say it, the sound of the Seventh Prince reading is quite hypnotic." Xue Qingyin and the palace people who serve her muttered.

The palace maids didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

As they were talking, someone came over here, shouting the name of the seventh prince: "Cheng Rui, Cheng Rui... hurry..."

The voice was trembling.

There were palace maids chasing after them, shouting: "Empress Xianfei, Empress, wait... what happened? Empress, you can't trespass into Penglai Palace..."

Xue Qingyin asked the palace maids to help her sit up, but she didn't get off the ground to greet him.

She said, "Let them in."

Emperor Liang De put her here, which was also considered house arrest. Of course, not everyone can enter the palace.

With Xue Qingyin's consent, Concubine Dong was finally led in by the palace maids.

But she fell before she got to Xue Qingyin.

She was helped up, her hair was disheveled, her face was pale and terrified.

"Cheng Rui, follow me to the Hall of Supreme Harmony." Concubine Dong didn't bother to greet Xue Qingyin, and grabbed the seventh prince, "Your father, he, he was assassinated..."

Xue Qingyin was stunned.

What... is going on?

"I'll go too." Xue Qingyin blurted out.

But the palace servant behind her immediately pulled her sleeve and said cautiously: "The princess is in a heavy condition, so don't go. If she gets scared, we can't bear it..."

Xue Qingyin pursed her lips and didn't insist on asking anymore.

Concubine Dong nodded apologetically to Xue Qingyin, and hurriedly took the seventh prince and the ninth princess away.

Xue Qingyin looked at their backs as they left and raised her eyebrows slightly.

It seems that even Concubine Dong noticed the emperor's preference... She guessed the emperor's thoughts, and now that something happened, she couldn't wait to take the seventh prince and the two to the emperor.

After all, if she ran slower now, how could she show her filial piety?

Xue Qingyin sat back firmly, thinking about the assassination of Emperor Liang De, she couldn't be too happy...

"Let's serve two fewer dishes today." Xue Qingyin said.

"Yes."

It was night in a blink of an eye.

When Xue Qingyin was about to pick up the eight-treasure duck, Emperor Liang De came.

"What are you eating?" Emperor Liang De asked.

Xue Qingyin looked at him in surprise.

Emperor Liang De said concisely: "Not dead, not injured."

He also looked at her expression.

Xue Qingyin said: "The virtuous concubine called away the seventh prince and the ninth princess. I wanted to go with them, but the people in this palace would not let me go."

Emperor Liang De smiled: "Well. You shouldn't have gone. At that time, the assassin was being interrogated, and it was a bit bloody."

"Who is the assassin? How did he sneak into the palace?" Xue Qingyin asked curiously.

"She is an old lady in the palace, and has been here for more than 20 years. In the winter, the clothing supervisor made new clothes and sent them to the palace. She suddenly pulled out the hairpin on her head and rushed towards me..."

Xue Qingyin: "..." "What a crude assassination."

Emperor Liang De laughed: "Yes. She was pinned to the ground before she even got close to me."

His tone was slightly cold: "But she is still not afraid, and she keeps shouting... to avenge Prince Zhang."

Xue Qingyin paused and asked: "Prince Zhang?"

"My brother from the same mother." Emperor Liang De said indifferently.

Xue Qingyin: "Oh, what kind of revenge is she taking?"

Emperor Liang De smiled and said: "I don't know."

Xue Qingyin was not panicked at all.

Prince Xuan would never do such a thing...This assassination was clearly to kill him, and it seemed like a deliberate trick.

Either Emperor Liang De directed and acted it himself, or He Songning did it.

She didn't know how much power He Songning had built up now... Anyway, as the male protagonist, he must have the ability to do it.

Xue Qingyin didn't care who did it.

No matter who it was, it couldn't affect the overall situation...

Too lazy to think.

Xue Qingyin poked the meat in the bowl twice with chopsticks and whispered: "Your Majesty, have you eaten? If not, let's eat together."

Emperor Liang De nodded to the palace servant next to him, and the palace servant immediately went out and added two more dishes.

"Don't you have anything else to ask?" Emperor Liang De said.

"Such a clumsy trick... I'm not interested." Xue Qingyin yawned.

Emperor Liang De didn't ask again.

But within two days.

Emperor Liang De went out of the palace to observe the people's sentiments and understand the follow-up of bone steaming disease among the people...

There were also several ministers accompanying him.

Concubine Dong Xian came to Penglai Palace with a change of expression again.

She said: "Your Majesty was assassinated..."

Xue Qingyin was stunned.

What kind of trick is this?

This time, Concubine Dong brought the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Princess with her, but they were unable to see the Emperor.

Xue Qingyin sat in the palace for two hours, and a group of guards came to Penglai Palace. The one walking in front was... Shaojian Wu.

"Princess." Wu Shaojian bowed to Xue Qingyin excitedly, "I finally see you again."

Wu Shaojian's cheeks were thin, his eyes were bloodshot, and his clothes were not as bright as before.

He seemed to be in a hurry, and did not dare to say more nonsense, and squeezed out a voice: "Please follow me to see His Majesty."

Could the assassination be successful this time?

A sense of absurdity came to Xue Qingyin's mind...

She stepped out.

But at this moment, the guards lifted a sedan chair and asked her to sit in it.

Yes.

The assassination was still unsuccessful. Xue Qingyin thought.

Xue Qingyin took the sedan chair to the Purple Palace.

As soon as she entered the door, she smelled a smell of medicine and blood. It was not strong, but it lingered in her nose, making her want to vomit.

"Today's assassin mixed in with the people, and in front of everyone, he shouted to me "Revenge for Prince Zhang." "Emperor Liang De said coldly.

Oh, that's a slap in the face of the emperor...

It's okay to assassinate in the palace, after all, there are few people. But outside... how many eyes are watching?

Isn't this just to expose the scandal of the past to the sun?

No wonder the emperor was really angry this time.

"Is my father injured?" Xue Qingyin asked as she walked closer.

"Yes."

Xue Qingyin looked closely and saw that the sleeve on the right side of Emperor Liang De was soaked in blood and torn. The exposed arm was probably already treated with medicine and bandaged with cloth.

This is a real injury, it can't be faked at all.

This is definitely not something that Emperor Liang De directed and acted himself.

But it shouldn't be King Xuan...

Xue Qingyin couldn't figure it out.

Fang Chengzhong on the other side couldn't figure it out either: "Why did your highness send someone to assassinate? This is totally unfeasible in Beijing."

Beijing, to put it bluntly, is the emperor's base camp.

There are countless guards here, and there are also court officials around. Moreover, although the emperor is getting older, he has not completely abandoned his martial arts skills, and he is also a good swordsman.

King Xuan said coldly: "The last assassination in the palace was done by He Songning."

"This time... it's natural to fall on his head? But... but, the people sent by He Songning shouted that they were avenging Prince Zhang, which is obviously dragging you into the water! This will only make the emperor hate you more!"

"He is dragging me into the water, but isn't a bad thing a good thing?"

"You mean..."

"Someone has to bring up the matter of Prince Zhang again in front of everyone. Only in this way can the truth of the year be known to the world naturally."

"That's right." Fang Chengzhong sighed heavily, "I just don't know what kind of madness He Songning is going on. I thought he was going to deal with the seventh prince first."

"The seventh prince is not worth dealing with. He has to deal with his biological father... I will help him."
