Empress Jiang was attacked and was in critical condition, her life hanging by a thread.
The news quickly spread throughout Chaoge like a strong wind, causing consternation and confusion among countless people.
Others were either worried, watching the show, or feeling pity. Only Di Xin and the two princes were grieving.
"Trash, you look so incompetent and you still want to inherit the throne of me?"
Di Xin kicked Yin Jiao angrily and kicked Yin Jiao several meters away. Although he was merciful, it was not something a twelve-year-old child could bear. When Yin Jiao got up, a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Your Majesty!! What are you doing? What does Empress Jiang's assassination have to do with Yin Jiao?"
Bigan hurriedly helped Prince Yin Jiao, looking up and down at the bruise on the child's chest distressedly, and angrily scolded Di Xin for being unreasonable.
"Get out, I don't want to argue with you today, so get out!!"
Bigan had no intention of stepping forward to irritate Di Xin. He just glanced at the queen on the couch worriedly, then pulled Yin Jiao and Yin Hong out of the central court and went to the medical office, constantly comforting the two. Don't be afraid, child.
Bigan came out of the palace, and all the ministers were already standing under the steps. Everyone looked at Wang Zijiao with blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and their hearts sank. The king was afraid that he was really angry, and he was so cruel when he angered Wang Zijiao. He was so cruel to others. How can you be more gentle? Everyone could only hope for the stars and the moon and look forward to Master Wen's arrival soon.
The queen was seriously injured in a secret attack in her own palace. As the chief official of the civil service, Fei Lian could not escape the blame. Facing Bigan's worried gaze, Fei Lian could only step forward, forcefully hold Prince Yin Jiao and ask in a low voice what happened and why.
"Your Majesty, Feilian Duo, is guilty. Prince, are you saying that the queen suddenly fell down at the sound of the voice? No external injuries, no hidden arrows, blood flowing from her abdomen?"
Yin Jiao nodded, Fei Lian frowned, and had a bad feeling in his heart. He was a well-traveled person, and this scene seemed familiar to him.
"Your Majesty, I would like to see Feilian!"
Emperor Xin and Empress Jiang had always been in love with each other. They had known each other since the first expedition to Dongyi, and they had been together for twenty years. Except for the support of Dong Bohou behind him to inherit the throne, Empress Jiang was asked to assist in many internal affairs. Later, they both became mothers and ministers to the world, and they were able to support their husbands and raise their children. After his expedition, they were responsible for supervising and governing the country in the suburbs of Yin. They were both husband and wife, and they were also the best helpers in Emperor Xin's heart.
"Stay back. I don't want to see anyone. Within three days, we will find out the real culprit behind the scenes. Otherwise, when something happens to Zitong, everyone in the Central Court will die."
Fei Lian's heart sank, and while he was meditating outside the door, Grand Master Wen finally arrived belatedly. He pushed away the four or five soldiers who came to stop him, opened the door and motioned for Fei Lian to follow him in.
Fei Lian, as the chief official of the imperial court, was not comparable to those sloppy ministers at the foot of the stairs. He and Erai were the most loyal ministers of Emperor Xin. The father and son of them were Emperor Xin's wise eyes among the people, and they fought against all opinions. A promoted minister, a person with no foundation, has no other choice but to be loyal to the king.
When he heard that Grand Master broke in, Di Xin's eyes darkened and he felt quite irritable.
"I am not lecturing the king, but the king has always been wise and powerful, why has his mind been messed up?"
"Let Fei Lian step forward and take a look. There may be something fishy about this matter."
Di Xin suppressed the anger in his heart, stepped aside, and stood aside with his hands behind his back, suppressing the anger in his chest with all his heart. Many times, it was not that he did not understand the truth, but that he could not suppress his emotions, and would often act out of anger. Despite his temper, the king is still a very easy to talk to.
Fei Lian stepped forward to carefully examine Queen Jiang's injuries. Without caring about the queen's identity, he directly opened his robe and put the black light in his hand against the wound on Queen Jiang's lower abdomen.
There is nothing complicated inside. With just a few touches, Fei Lian felt a curse aura unique to the witchcraft. However, he didn't understand that those who could cast nail-head spells behind their backs were all extremely powerful in witchcraft. The noble existence can be confirmed by the fact that the nails on Queen Jiang's body are extremely clumsy, as if someone is deliberately provoking, for fear that outsiders will not be able to see the traces of the nails.
"Your Majesty, this is the art of nailing the head of the witchcraft in southern Xinjiang. I sincerely ask your Majesty to give me the convenience to search all the palaces and palaces of the royal court to find the person who performed the art and the medium and props used to kill Zhou."
"What is the Nail Head Technique? Why are you so sure that the person who performs this technique must be within the royal court?"
"Your Majesty, the Nail Head Technique originated from the Jiuli Clan, but not only the Jiuli Clan can perform it. Based on the curse on the queen, in my opinion, this person has low magic power, or may not have any magic power at all. He cannot do without the cursed person." As long as we can search the entire Wang Ting, we should be able to find the final culprit of the incident."
Di Xin's eyes were gloomy and unsteady, and the evil spirit appeared in his eyes. He could not understand the words of nail art or witchcraft. He only knew that Fei Lian was telling him that there must be a conspiracy behind Empress Jiang's injury, which was adding fuel to the flames.
Fei Lian conducted a thorough investigation for three days and searched the whole court three times. From the servants' hall to the offices of the principals, he stirred up chaos within a few kilometers of the entire court, and even the court officials , down to the servants, everyone complained.
As imperial ministers, Fei Zhong and You Hun also broke their legs. They were despised by doctors and generals over and over again, but they had to do everything possible to complete the orders issued by Fei Lian.
At this time, You Hun came to the West Palace. Looking at the cold courtyard, his heart was full of anxiety and discomfort. Of the twenty-three palaces to the west that he was responsible for, only the West Palace was left unsearched.
In fact, with his intelligence, he had already locked in three candidates in his mind, Concubine Huang, Concubine Yang and Fei Lian. Fei Lian was not something he dared to touch, and Concubine Yang's Nangong had been carefully searched by Fei Zhong, and there was nothing unusual.
Then the probability of the remaining Nishinomiya is too high,
No matter how much he tried to escape, he had to go to Nishinomiya in front of him, but just going there made him feel like his temples were protruding and his head was swelling and painful.
'This is a clumsy plan, Concubine Huang. Even if you are unwilling to compete and want to compete, why can't you be smarter? This makes it easier for me to have business with you, right? '
Taking a deep breath, Fei Zhong led the imperial guards to knock on the door in person and called out: "You Hun, the minister of the inner court, wants to see Concubine Huang!"
After three or four soft calls, there was no movement inside the door. Just when You Hun was about to push the door open, he saw the door opening from the inside. A gray-haired veteran wearing golden armor looked at him coldly.
"Ministers of the inner court? What? You want to force your way through the door? Your Excellency is so majestic. The king's concubine did not respond. Are you going to commit the crime?"
You Hun immediately bowed deeply and replied humbly and flatteringly: "Old General Huang Gun, are you back? Oops, you misunderstood me. This is the order of the king. Search all the palaces. Since you opened the door, please. Let me inform you that You Hun has completed his mission and can report to Dr. Feilian after returning to the inner court."
"Oh, are you trying to suppress me with Feilian? You Qingshi, do you know who I am?"
"Oh, how dare you Hun, this...this is the prince..."
With a crisp sound, You Hun was directly slapped to the ground by Huang Gun. The left side of his rich face was visibly red and swollen. He spit out a mouthful of blood, mixed with half of his back molar, and the pain was so heartbreaking that You Hun lung.
But a smiling face immediately appeared again. You Hun covered his left cheek and got up and continued to smile in front of Huang Gun and said: "Who is Mr. Huang? You are the elder of the three dynasties, the guard of Jiepai Pass, and the general of Dashang Zhenguo Huang Feihu , the father of Concubine Huang, the lord of the West Palace, once made great military exploits for our Great Shang, and was hailed as the pillar of the country by the late King Wen Ding. Do you think there is anything missing?"
Looking at the smiling face, Huang Gun felt a chill in his heart. When the villain smiles, life or death is unpredictable, but even so, Huang Gun still holds on to the door and refuses to let go.
"Since you know me, why don't you retreat?"
"Old General Huang, if you have any grievances in your heart, You Hun still has a right cheek. Even if you take action, Hun will not dodge and will not blame you. But today the king is angry and asks Hun to search and clear up the misunderstanding. If Letting Hun leave has delayed time, and you and Concubine Huang can't explain it clearly!"
Huang Gun gently opened the left side of You Hun's covered face with his big hands, slapped the swollen cheek, and said sarcastically: "You Qingshi is indeed a well-known sophistry talent. I admire you, a villain like you." It's really strange that we can gain power today. Let's search! If you can't find anything today, especially sir, the road ahead will be long, so you should be careful."
Youhun smiled slightly, spat out another mouthful of blood, and saluted respectfully: "Youhun is taught!"
"Come here, search for me, inside and out, carefully. If anyone dares to be missed, Nai Weng will skin him!"
You Hun and his men forcibly searched the entire courtyard, even under the couch and on the roof, but found nothing.
Normally, You Hun would just turn a blind eye to avoid getting angry and making mistakes.
But Huang Gun is really too unusual. This old general has lived in Jiepaiguan on the side of Chaoge all year round. It is intriguing to suddenly return to Chaoge. He also deliberately humiliated and intimidated him at the gate.
Although no witchcraft items were found, You Hun was certain that there must be something fishy about Concubine Huang.
"What? After searching the house, You Qingshi still wants to search my daughter?" Huang Gun's eyes were cold, but You Hun was confident at this time.
"I don't dare, but today I'm asking Old General Huang to stay in the inner court guest house temporarily. After tomorrow, You Hun will naturally apologize to you in person?"
"Shuzi, do you want to imprison me?"
Looking at the furious Huang Gun, You Hun sneered to himself. These vulgar people had poor acting skills and were not even half as good as his good brother Fei Zhong.
"Since you said yes, then yes, You Hun is willing to respectfully invite the general to stay as a guest on behalf of the king. He has no intention of being a prisoner."
"What qualifications do you have to give orders on behalf of the king?"
"Just because You Hun is a member of the inner court, and because You Hun has a good head, if the old general refuses to accept it, he can force his way in. You Hun will die here today. Let's see if your Huang family is arrogant and domineering enough, or if You Hun is Hun's life is tough, but his life is cheap. If I can drag the old general and Huang Fei along with me on the journey with Hun! Why would Hun hesitate?"
"Vulgar warriors, extremely clumsy. Come here, please ask the nearest garrison brothers to come over and help me, and surround the West Palace. Without the order of the king or Dr. Feilian, if anyone dares to step out of the West Palace today, you will all be killed." .”
After that, You Hun stopped talking to the frustrated Huang Gun and immediately ran towards the court gate. After getting out of the palace, he mounted his horse again, but instead of going to the court to report his work, he ran all the way to You Mansion and entered the mansion. Finally, he covered the left side of his face and shouted loudly: "Grandpa, Grandpa, something is wrong. Something big has really happened this time!"
Suddenly, a strong force came from the side. A tall and powerful fat woman tightly grabbed You Hun's arm and cursed her head and face. She also kept slapping You Hun's bun.
"Oh, madam, please let me go. My husband has something important to discuss with my father."
"You have something important? What important thing can you have, you weak-footed shrimp? You haven't come home for three days and three nights. Are you raising a woman outside?"
You Hun was furious, but his wife used her strength to hold him tightly, keeping his feet dangling in the air and unable to move.
"Good madam, this is really a disaster. If you don't let me go, my father will be so angry that he will not only beat me, but you will also be beaten with canes. Come down quickly!"
After pleading hard, the daughter of the You family put him down doubtfully. Looking at her husband's embarrassed back and swollen left face, she spat on the ground and cursed: "Trash!!"
A moment later, You Cang, who was cultivating himself at home, heard another angry roar this time, but it was much faster than before. A figure galloped back towards the royal court, and a figure headed west towards Mei Mansion. .
In the royal court, You Hun saw Fei Lian and immediately pulled out all the suspicions in his mind. Fei Lian made a decisive decision and directly led the evil forces to the west palace with the royal guards and began to confront Huang Gun.
He understood Huang Fei's personality better than You Hun, and Huang Fei's temperament would never allow her to do such a thing.
At the same time, he also believed in You Hun. Everyone said that he was a traitor, but in his eyes, You Hun was far stronger than Fei Zhong. He was cautious and cautious, never wasting an opportunity when he should speak, and always looking at the situation coldly when he expressed his stance. .
Let alone a slap, if he is not sure, even if others push him into the pit, he will not take action rashly, and will praise the other party's skill with a smile.
A biting dog never barks, and You Hun is obviously someone who knows this well.
During the confrontation in the West Palace, as night fell in Chaoge City, several figures emerged from their homes to gather at the royal court.
Uncle Mei, the imperial minister, rushed straight to the middle gate of the royal court and led a group of ministers to admonish the king overnight.
Huang Feihu, the general of Zhenguo, took advantage of the chaos and headed to the West Palace with a group of Huangfu's ministers and generals.
Tonight's Chaoge was a mess, with an invisible big hand seeming to stir ripples.
"Prime Minister, something bad has happened." Jun Bi, the general of the palace, stumbled into Bigan's official room, shouting anxiously.
"Why are you so alarmed?"
"Prime Minister, Doctor Meibo has gathered a group of ministers. They have broken into the middle court and are about to go to Queen Jiang's middle palace to confront the king."
"?" Bigan was a little confused and didn't understand what it meant: "What did you say? Why did Meb confront the king?"
"This... Doctor Mei said... said that His Majesty has been neglecting his duties for three days because of a woman. This is a sign of neglect of government. Doctor Mei is ready to remonstrate to the King to let him abandon his children's personal relationship, for the sake of the great business community, and work hard as soon as possible. On political matters.”
"Bastard, when is this? When is that? Is Mabel looking for death?"
When did this happen? Are these people blind? Or do they think the king is a good-tempered person?
Others may not be able to see it, but Bigan, Wen Zhong, and Shang Rong know better than anyone what kind of existence Queen Jiang is to the king. However, there are some ministers who cannot see the situation and just step forward to tease the tiger. Bigan was afraid that he would arouse the king's ferocity and kill everyone in one fell swoop.
Bigan, who was always kind to others, couldn't help but curse at this moment. He threw the bamboo slips in his hands to the ground, pulled out the dagger from the rack and rushed out.
"Prime Minister, please calm down. I'm asking you to persuade them to stop. I'm not asking you to kill people."
"Persuasion? I want to kill this reckless man with one sword. If anyone dares to step into the middle court today, I will see who dares to hit my sword. Such a doctor who regards death as Gui Mei. If I don't kill this beast today, it will not be enough to calm my heart. Angry."
Speaking of Uncle Mei, Bigan was also furious. He clearly knew that the king had a bad temper and could not be provoked, but Doctor Mei was very magical. He would always use the most violent means to solve a problem that could have been easily solved. To add a bunch of difficulty.
Shang Rong followed Mao's instructions, so many benevolent policies could be implemented smoothly. He was more comfortable doing it than Gan, but Meibo was not. He started with a big curse, scolding Di Xin, and then blamed him. If there is a problem, sum up how stupid the king is, and then: "I will die to remonstrate with you!"
Not only was Di Xin troubled, but so was everyone else.
People can not escape from doing wrong? The King is also a human being, with his own flaws and temper, and he is not a target that Mabel can use endlessly to gain fame. The Great Shang Dynasty was not the Western Zhou Dynasty. Except for Taijia, who was imprisoned by Yi Yin for three years, none of the previous kings were easy to get along with and easy to compromise.
It would be insignificant for Mebo to kill him, but this time he actually led a group of young ministers to die. I have never seen such a ignorant doctor.
Bigan walked faster and faster, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He kept thinking in his heart that after handling this matter, he must investigate carefully how Mabel was promoted to the position of doctor.
But speaking of outside the Central Court, the nearest military camp in the city was the camp where the Mengdi Army was stationed.
In the midst of the dust, a royal guard wearing armor was pulled down and captured by Meng Di's armor at the gate of the camp.
"Who dares to break into the camp?"
"I am a military lord under the command of the general who held the palace before the king, and under the orders of Feng Lian, the high official in the royal court, I quickly ordered Meng Bo to go to the West Palace to relieve the inner court minister You Hun from danger!"
Mengchang had just taken off his farm clothes and was counting the new areas for farming in his underwear. After hearing this, there was a trace of confusion in his eyes.
where to? Nishinomiya? Rushing to help You Hun?
By the way, weren't there still rumors about Empress Jiang's assassination at noon today? Why do we suddenly want to break the siege of the West Palace? Want to help You Hun? He didn't understand the logic.
But his intuition told him that something big would happen if he entered the palace tonight.
So the question arises, to go or not to go?
This is a 5,000-word chapter, which can be regarded as two in one. Because the relationship between the two is too great, so that everyone will not say that I am breaking the chapter, I will post it together. Preview: The best-seller promotion will be released tomorrow, and the plot will be explosive. Please be prepared to reduce your pressure. Medicine and a new keyboard.
Then, in the new month, I will continue to ask for votes. It is the third month since the release of the new book. In November, I have output of 280,000 words. I ask you to send me a step forward and let more people see this book. Thank you! Thank you!
