Regarding the eldest princess, Jiang Qiulu felt deep sympathy.
In this feudal era, the royal family regarded bloodline as extremely important.
The eldest princess fell in love with an ordinary man, which made the late emperor furious. In everyone's eyes, this was a normal thing.
However, in Jiang Qiulu's view.
The late emperor's approach was indeed inappropriate.
The idea of looking only at bloodline is definitely backward.
At the very least, it must be a match, or the potential of the other party.
The eldest princess must have chosen this person because there is something extraordinary about him.
Otherwise, the eldest princess would not risk the late emperor's wrath and resolutely choose to be with the man.
"It's getting late, let's go back." Jiang Qiulu said to the people behind him.
After dinner, Jiang Qiulu returned to Tai Chi Hall.
If you want to deal with what comes next, you must sort out your emotions.
It's no use just being upset.
Lying on the dragon couch, Jiang Qiulu fell asleep without knowing it.
Jiang Donglin saw that Jiang Qiulu was asleep and blew out the lamp.
Then close the door gently.
The palace at night was silent.
But the palace was eerily quiet tonight.
Suddenly, a black figure landed outside Tai Chi Hall.
Seeing the Jin Yiwei patrolling outside the Tai Chi Hall, the black figure quickly hid in a dark corner.
After the patrol team passed by, the black figure quickly approached the entrance of Tai Chi Hall like a ghost.
At this time, there were also Jinyi guards on guard at the entrance of Tai Chi Hall.
The black figure stopped quickly and hid behind a big tree.
Needless to say, the target of this black figure is Jiang Qiulu.
Throughout the dynasties, assassins entered the palace to assassinate the emperor.
However, ordinary killers would not accept this kind of assassination mission.
Either he is a spy of the enemy country, or he is someone with treason.
Which killer would dare to go to the palace to assassinate the emperor if he was tired of his job?
I'm afraid if it's not the family tree, I'll have to have it dug out and torn up.
After a while, it was already midnight.
At this time, it was time for the Jin Yiwei to change shifts, and the Jin Yiwei at the door withdrew.
The assassin took advantage of this gap and quickly rushed into Tai Chi Hall.
Just as the assassin entered, the next group of Jin Yiwei arrived outside the door.
Following the high wall, the assassin quietly approached the palace where Jiang Qiulu lived.
The assassin turned around and looked around. After confirming that no one was there, he entered Jiang Qiulu's palace directly.
Seeing Jiang Qiulu sleeping soundly on the bed, a dagger suddenly appeared in the assassin's hand.
The sharp scimitar glowed with a faint cold light under the moonlight.
The next moment, the assassin raised his dagger and stabbed Jiang Qiulu.
Suddenly, the door of the room was kicked open, and Jiang Qiulu was suddenly awakened.
The assassin was taken aback and subconsciously turned his head to look over.
The dagger in his hand was originally intended to stab Jiang Qiulu's throat.
Frightened by this sudden situation, he strayed a little away and stabbed himself on the pillow.
Seeing a dagger less than three inches away from his eyes, Jiang Qiulu got out of bed.
"Chen Bu Mu Cao!"
Jiang Qiulu was so frightened that he subconsciously cursed.
"The bold thief dares to assassinate the emperor."
"Take your life!"
Jiang Qiulu heard the voice and it was Jiang Donglin.
Immediately afterwards, the two fought together.
The clash of weapons alerted the dragon group guards.
After that, more than 30 personal guards, as well as the Jin Yiwei on duty, rushed directly into Jiang Qiulu's palace.
The assassin saw someone rushing in and knew in his heart that the assassination failed.
So he was ready to escape.
"Want to run?"
Jiang Donglin saw that this person had the intention to escape, and the attack with the long knife in his hand became even faster.
Stab!
Jiang Qiulu slashed the assassin's chest with his knife.
At this moment, someone lit the lamp in the palace.
But the assassin reacted quickly and rushed out of the window to escape.
Then, taking three steps and two steps at a time, he climbed over the high wall of Tai Chi Hall.
"Chase!"
Jiang Donglin shouted, and everyone rushed out immediately.
The assassin climbed out of the high wall of Tai Chi Hall and happened to run into a group of patrolling Jinyi guards.
"Get it for me!"
When the leader of the team saw the assassin, he immediately pursued him.
But this assassin is very fast, relying on his speed and agility.
Leave everyone behind.
That night, the movements of the royal guards alarmed all the palace ministers.
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.
It was Di Yunhao who brought people here.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Before he even entered the door, Di Yunhao shouted loudly.
Di Yunhao quickly rushed into the house.
Seeing Jiang Qiulu, who looked a little pale, Di Yunhao and all the Jinyi guards immediately knelt down.
"Your Majesty, I deserve to be punished for not taking good care of Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, please punish me!" Di Yunhao shouted loudly.
"Get up, I'm fine."
Jiang Qiulu relaxed for a while and felt much better.
Then he said to everyone.
"Your Majesty, are you not injured?
Di Yunhao stood up and looked Jiang Qiulu up and down.
"Why, does the commander want me to get hurt?" Jiang Qiulu said with a smile.
"No, no, no, that's not what the guilty minister meant." Di Yunhao immediately defended.
Then he turned around and looked at the imperial guards behind him.
"Search for me!"
"Don't miss any corner!"
"You have to dig three feet into the ground to catch the assassin!" Di Yunhao shouted.
After that, all the Jin Yiwei immediately spread out to look for the assassin.
"Your Majesty, it's okay."
Di Yunhao supported the trembling Jiang Qiulu and sat down slowly.
At this moment, another shout came from outside the door.
Jiang Qiulu looked outside the door and saw Concubine De hurried over.
Next to him is Bingyue holding a lantern.
Seeing Jiang Qiulu waving to her, Concubine De could no longer control herself.
Tears flowed out like broken threads, and then they fell into Jiang Qiulu's arms.
"Okay, okay, I'm fine."
Jiang Qiulu gently comforted Concubine De.
At this time, Di Yunhao suddenly saw the dagger on the bedside and reached out to pull it out.
"Your Majesty, look."
Di Yunhao handed the dagger to Jiang Qiulu.
"What's different about this dagger?" Jiang Qiulu asked.
"This dagger is of the style of the Turkic Dynasty." Di Yunhao replied.
Jiang Qiulu took the dagger and examined it carefully in his hand.
The knife is about a foot long, extremely sharp, and has a slightly curved tip.
On the handle of the knife, there is a pattern like a wolf head carved on it.
And this pattern is the totem of the Turkic dynasty.
"It seems that the Turkic dynasty is a little impatient."
"A killer has been sent to assassinate me." Jiang Qiulu casually placed the dagger on the table nearby.
After a while, Jiang Donglin rushed back.
"His Majesty."
"We have searched the entire palace."
"No trace of the assassin was found."
"Judging from the blood stains on his injuries, he has escaped from the palace." Jiang Donglin said with some guilt.
Jiang Qiulu's eyes narrowed slightly.
"It seems that this assassin is not simple."
"Even Donglin didn't catch up." Jiang Qiulu frowned and began to think carefully.
