Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 124 Assassination
While the three of them were talking, a man walked out from the West Third Office. Seeing the three people at the door, he frowned and asked, "What happened?"

This voice is peaceful, but it also implies majesty. When you hear this voice, you are used to being a superior person, but the voice is a little immature, and the person who wants to speak is not very old.

Lin Zisu looked at the man, and saw that the man was about the same age as himself, dressed in a white scholar's shirt, with a face like a crown jade, holding a folding fan in his hand and gently shaking his steps, his clothes fluttered gracefully, showing a Merry.

This young man's clothes are beautiful, but because of his age, even though the clothes are tailored to fit him, it still doesn't look commensurate with his age, just like a child secretly wearing an adult's clothes.

The man recognized Lin Zisu, and asked in surprise, "Isn't this Miss Lin? Why are you in the palace?"

Lin Zisu didn't expect the person who came to recognize her, and after taking a closer look, she still didn't realize who the boy was.But looking at his attire and age, several candidates flashed in Lin Zisu's mind, and he immediately guessed the boy's identity.

When the young man approached, Commander Xiong and Commander Jiang bowed and saluted as expected: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince."

This young man is none other than the sixth prince Xie Yun, who is 14 years old this year, and had met Lin Zisu once at the Hundred Flowers Banquet.

In the previous life, after Xie Yao succeeded to the throne, several princes in the capital successively took over the feudal domain. Lin Zisu didn't have much impression of Xie Yao's brothers.

She only knew that Xie Yun had a soft personality, just the opposite of Xie Xi, who was very low-key on weekdays, and just stayed in the palace.

Seeing Xie Yun suddenly, she couldn't figure out Xie Yun's temperament, after seeing the ceremony, she told Xie Yun in detail what she knew just now.

Hearing Lin Zisu's explanation of her intentions, Xie Yun was greatly shocked.

In his cognition, the palace has always been a safe place, but he didn't expect that there would be an assassin, so he immediately ordered Deputy Commander Jiang to order two teams of guards to escort the palace.

The Deputy Commander Jiang had a look of embarrassment on his face, and said: "Your Highness Sixth Prince, my subordinates are ordered to protect the safety of your Highnesses. If everyone is taken away, the assassin will come here instead, and your Highnesses will be shocked. A lowly position is a death sentence." Don't redeem it."

"Why, usually when my second and third elder brothers give orders, don't you obediently obey them? Could it be that they are princes, and I, the sixth prince, am not a prince?"

Xie Yun's face suddenly turned cold, and he continued: "The second brother and the third brother are not here tonight, and the eighth brother is in the palace of the queen mother, what are you guarding? Since you said so, it is just right, I am going to Qianqing Palace to visit Father, you should lead the way ahead."

Deputy Commander Jiang was speechless for a moment, ordered two teams of guards, and personally led the team to protect Xie Yun and Lin Zisu towards Qianqing Palace.

At Lin Zisu's request, the group even went to Changning Palace.

Sure enough, as Lin Zisu expected, there was no one in the newly renovated Changning Palace. When asked about the patrolling guards, they all said that there was no movement in Changning Palace tonight.

This statement seems to further confirm Lin Zisu's guess that the so-called assassination of Sun Duzhong just now was just a trap to attract him.

Lin Zisu's heart was even heavier. If the trap had been set in advance, then Master would be in danger.

The Qianqing Palace was brightly lit, and Xie Yun and Lin Zisu waited at the door for less than half a cup of tea when an eunuch sent them in.

The emperor was pacing back and forth in the main hall, and when he saw the two people coming in, he didn't care to wait for them to salute, so he said to Lin Zisu, "Madam Su, I heard that your master was assassinated?"

Lin Zisu looked around first, besides the emperor's personal eunuch Zhang Gu, there were also the third prince Xie Hui and the eunuch Cao Shouli, who was in charge of the official seal, in the Qianqing Palace.

Shouldn't it be Xie Xi's turn to serve the sick tonight?How could Xie Hui be here?
Lin Zisu had doubts in his mind.

Seeing the people in the palace clearly, Lin Zisu didn't answer the emperor's words, but instead asked, "Your Majesty, how did Your Majesty know about the assassination of the minister's daughter and master?"

The emperor didn't expect Lin Zisu to ask this question, he was stunned for a moment, then sat down to sit in front of the imperial case, and said, "Shouli got a report from Dongchang, saying that Sun Duzhong was assassinated in the palace, Shouli, you and Lin Tell me, girl, what's going on?"

Cao Shouli just asked a few guards below, and he didn't know too much about tonight's situation, but the emperor had orders, so he could only bow down and say: "Your servant obeys." Then he talked to Lin Zisu Understand the situation on the Qianqing Palace.

In fact, the emperor's situation here is similar to what Lin Zisu encountered. A small leader of the forbidden army below reported that Sun Duzhong was assassinated outside the Palace of Compassion.

Xie Xi was the first one to get the letter. After he heard about it, he immediately ordered Zhang Gu to pass Cao Shouli on to strengthen the guards of Qianqing Palace.On the other hand, he ordered more than a dozen guards, and rushed towards the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

Lin Zisu heard that Xie Xi had personally brought someone to the Palace of Compassion, and she couldn't help feeling tense. She didn't bother to ask Sun Duzhong any more, and hurriedly said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, His Highness Dun Wang may have fallen into the trap of an assassin. Your Majesty, please send someone to respond!"

Hearing what Lin Zisu said, the emperor hurriedly asked what happened.Lin Zisu talked about what happened to her tonight, and finally added: "Your Majesty, it is very dangerous for His Royal Highness King Dun to go here, and if you go late, you may encounter accidents!"

The emperor immediately stood up, put both hands on the imperial case, and said loudly: "Shouli, quickly send someone to meet King Dun!"

Cao Shouli had only been in Qianqing Palace for a quarter of an hour, so he was in a hurry to send out orders and sent out many people.Some came back to report, while others have not heard from them for a while.

At this time, apart from the forbidden army brought by Xie Yun and Lin Zisu, there are only a few teams of guards who can be used at this time. Cao Shouli made a calculation in his heart, and immediately called the Deputy Commander Jiang in, and said, "You bring a Guards, hurry to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to meet His Highness King Dun, if something happens to His Highness, I will ask you for everything!"

The Deputy Commander Jiang was originally guarding the West Third Office, but Xie Yun forcibly forced him to the Qianqing Palace. He thought he was going to guard in another place, but he was sent by Cao Shouli to take charge of the errand, and he secretly called it unlucky. Unhappy, he took the order and left.

Cao Shouli obviously underestimated how much the emperor attached to Xie Xi. The emperor heard the footsteps outside the palace, and there were only a dozen people who went to meet Xie Xi. Anyone who acts arbitrarily will be punished as an assassin!"

Cao Shouli's heart trembled, and he tentatively persuaded, "Your Majesty, the words of martial law in the palace are too shocking. If it is spread out, I'm afraid it will panic people and disturb the government. Look..."

The emperor snorted coldly, then raised his voice suddenly, only two words came out of his mouth, and said coldly: "Designation!"
