Chu Yi's eyes fell on Yun Chu's face.
The night was dark, and her face seemed to glow in the dark, and her eyes were like black gems, making people unable to take their eyes away.
In fact, you can give this weapon as a gift at any time. If you really can't spare the time, you can also ask your entourage to send it to Xie's Mansion.
But he chose such a time and place to ask her to come late at night.
His thoughts could no longer be hidden.
But he must hide it well.
"Look, there is a raised dot on the right side of the dagger."
Through the moonlight, Yunchu did see the small dot, which was made of a red jade stone. She touched it and it seemed that she could press it.
She raised her head: "Your Majesty, what will happen if you press it?"
Chu Yi clearly saw his presence in her eyes.
This feeling made him happy.
His lips couldn't help but curve.
He took two steps toward Yunchu, and then faced the lake in the same direction as Yunchu.
He stretched out his hand and placed it on the hilt of the sword.
When the man's hot palm reached out, Yun Chu couldn't help but be startled.
She suddenly realized that the two of them were too close.
This is not in line with etiquette.
Before she could make a move, a man's low voice sounded in her ears: "In this direction, press."
When he spoke, his hot breath fell on the side of Yunchu's face. She choked, and pressed down with her thumb. With a whoosh, a silver hidden arrow about the length of her little finger suddenly shot out from the top of the dagger.
The dagger was instantly inserted into the water, and after a while, a dead fish floated on the surface of the lake.
Yun Chu was extremely shocked: "How many times can I press it?"
Chu Yi said: "Three times."
As soon as he spoke, his breath blew in his ears, making Yun Chu feel uncomfortable all over.
She quickly took a few steps to the side and tried it at an angle. A second hidden arrow flew out from the top of the dagger and inserted into a tree trunk not far away.
Yun Chu walked over and tried to pull out the hidden arrow, but it was inserted two-thirds of the way in. It was too deep and he couldn't pull it out at all.
"I asked someone to make a box of hidden arrows, and they will be delivered to Yun Mansion in a few days." Chu Yi walked over, pulled out the hidden arrows from the tree trunk, then installed them in slow motion, and then handed them to her hand, "I hope you It will never be used.”
Yun Chu took it and couldn't help but thank him again: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
She comes from a family of military commanders and has been exposed to countless weapons since she was a child. This is the first time she has seen such an exquisite dagger.
Generally speaking, daggers are used for self-defense, mainly in close combat, but King Pingxi hides secrets in it. In addition to close combat, he can fight at a distance. The main attack is to catch an unprepared person, and he can easily gain the upper hand in the confrontation.
"I wonder what your lord is missing?"
She regretted a little. It would have been nice to have kept some of the jade from last time. Maybe she could do something to give to him.
Chu Yi coughed and said, "Miss Ruoyun really wants to thank you, so please take care of the two children these days. If I guess correctly, Brother Yu and Chang Sheng will go to your camp tonight."
Yun Chu was not surprised at all by this.
Brother Yu asked the queen to invite her to Yanshan. He must have wanted to rely on her every day.
There are only a few days left, and something bad will happen, so if you follow her, you can be more protective.
She was about to nod in agreement.
Suddenly, the program in the distance rushed over together with Qiutong.
"My lord, there is an assassin!"
"Madam, I will escort you back to the camp first!"
Yun Chu's heart sank.
Unexpectedly, this incident in the previous life happened on the first night of hunting.
"Procedure, you escort Mrs. Xie."
Chu Yi left his most capable guard behind, and then quickly headed in the direction of the assassin.
Program and Qiu Tong protected Yun Chu and quickly returned to the camp.
The camp was already in chaos. Many noble ladies turned pale with fright. The important officials of the court were surrounding the royal family members, surrounded by a circle of imperial guards.
Yunchu felt relieved when he saw the two children huddled next to Yin Bin, with their grandma watching over them.
"Chu'er, what did you do just now?" Lin grabbed Yun Chu's hand, "I was scared to death. I thought you were captured by an assassin."
"It's so stuffy in the tent, I'm going out to relax." Yun Chu replied, "I'm sorry for making my mother worry."
Everyone waited in fear for about half an hour in the night before the guards who went to chase the assassin finally came back one after another.
The leader is King Pingxi, Chu Yi.
His horse stopped in front of the crowd, turned over, and walked to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I have captured three assassins alive, bring them up!"
The guards at the back brought up three tightly bundled black-clothed assassins and threw them on the ground.
"The bold assassin dares to assassinate the current emperor!" The queen, who had always been virtuous and dignified, was furious. She picked up a tea cup and hit the assassin on the head. "Tell me, who instigated you!"
If it hadn't been for a young eunuch who was clever and heard the noise in time, the emperor would have almost died in Yanshan.
Although his life was saved, his arm was scratched by the assassin. The emperor saw blood and suffered a loss to the country. That's why the queen was so angry.
Several assassins bit him to death without saying a word.
King Gongxi stepped forward, touched the assassin's body, took out a token, and presented it with both hands: "Father, please take a look."
As soon as he saw the token, the emperor's expression suddenly changed: "Isn't this the token of the fourth child? Where are the others? Where are they now?"
"Your Majesty, the fourth son just followed King Pingxi to chase the assassin." Concubine De said in disbelief, "How could the fourth son's token fall into the hands of the assassin? Something must have happened to the fourth son! Your Majesty, send someone quickly. Find the fourth child!"
"Really?" King Gongxi said, "I haven't seen the fourth child since nightfall. Fourth brother and sister, do you know where the fourth child has gone?"
Xie Ping reacted for a while before she realized that the fourth younger brother and sister mentioned by King Gongxi were herself.
She quickly walked out of the crowd and said without thinking: "The prince left the camp after he finished hunting."
She only found out after asking the maid that the prince left in a hurry, not knowing where he went or what he was doing. She had failed as a princess.
She raised her head slightly and met Concubine De's angry eyes.
She realized belatedly that she seemed to have said the wrong thing.
Concubine De said that the prince was chasing the assassin, but she said that the prince had left long ago...
King Gongxi raised his hands and said to the person at the top: "Father, the top priority is to find the fourth brother immediately."
The prince said solemnly: "Father, please allow me to interrogate these assassins in person."
The emperor's face showed no unnecessary expression.
Only the queen knew that the emperor was extremely angry.
In the decades since the emperor took this position, he has never encountered an assassination. It would be fine if there were no injuries, but when there is blood, it is impossible to let this matter pass easily.
Chu Yi led people all over the mountain to search for the whereabouts of King Anjing.
The Crown Prince and King Gongxi interrogated the three assassins who were captured alive in full view of the public.
One of the assassins bit off his own tongue. If King Gongxi hadn't reacted in time, the other two would have almost committed suicide.
"If you commit a capital crime, of course you will die, but you will not die so easily."
The prince clapped his hands, and the eunuchs from the East Palace stepped forward, waiting for instructions.
