The First Tyrant of Daxia

Chapter 48 1 A plan of self-torture

He tried hard to think, but couldn't remember.

At this time, Shadow Guard Ah Niu whispered in Qin Yun's ear: "Your Majesty, Elder Feng is back!"

Qin Yun's eyes lit up. He had been so busy dealing with the matters of the Heavenly Prison that he had forgotten about the Zongzheng Temple.

"Someone, take Xiao Dezi away and hide him well."

"Also, let us announce to the public that all twelve assassins who were assassinated in the prison tonight have been killed, and not a single one survived!"

Qin Yun said with a serious expression, because this is of great importance.

If the news that the killer left a survivor leaks out, it will definitely alert the enemy.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Hundreds of people roared here, their eyes filled with awe for Qin Yun!

Is this still the same timid and hesitant Majesty?

Chang Hong, Tao Yang and others were all shocked by the bloody scene just now!

Qin Yun said again: "Go, tell Elder Feng and Xiao Jian to go to the Imperial Study and wait for me!"

"I need to take a bath first to wash off the blood, and then I'll be there."

……

When the fires in Zongzheng Temple and Tianlao were extinguished, some people had already received the news.

Especially in Linglong Palace, the news that His Majesty picked up a knife and personally killed twelve people reached Wang Min's ears vividly.

"Snapped!"

The teacup in Wang Min's hand shattered to the ground. She couldn't sleep at night and felt that something was going to happen tonight. She didn't expect that someone would go to the Sky Prison to assassinate her!

Is it the Ninth Prince?

There was a hint of worry in her eyes. The operation must have failed.

"What should I do? Lanhua should have been in trouble too. How can I distance myself from her?" Her enchanting eyes revealed a hint of anxiety, and she was actually vaguely afraid of Qin Yun.

In the past, she never looked down on Qin Yun!

In the imperial capital, in a majestic mansion somewhere.

There was a man wearing a dragon robe, climbing up to a high place and looking at the palace.

The night wind blew gently, making his hair flutter, revealing his indescribably handsome face.

"Brother, you are growing up so fast."

"Is this the reason why Father chose you back then?"

……

Royal study room.

Old Feng was still as calm as ever, with his back hunched, like an old man who had just returned from a walk.

He brought back a woman in black, who was tall, plain-looking, and tied up.

This woman was the thief who broke into the Zongzheng Temple at night and wanted to steal evidence.

Xiao Jian was not injured tonight, he just had some blisters from the fire. As soon as he arrived here, he glanced at the woman in black.

Tiger's eyes were shocked, and he immediately said: "Your Majesty, it was she who lured me to the Lotus Garden that night!"

Qin Yun narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman.

The words were cold: "Lift your head."

The woman's hands were tied, and she looked extremely nervous and uneasy, without raising her head.

Tao Yang stepped forward and twisted her head up with his hands.

When Qin Yun saw the woman's face, he was stunned for a moment, then looked at her for a long time, and stood up suddenly: "It's you!"

He had seen this woman before, when he was in Linglong Palace. She was Wang Min's woman!

In an instant, Qin Yun's guess was confirmed!

The person who caused chaos in the harem was Wang Min. She sent people to frame Xiao Jian. Maybe the mysterious master was Wang Wei, and the person who gave the order to Xiao Dezi was Wang Min!

In an instant, Qin Yun was filled with anger.

"Tell me, did Wang Min send you to steal the evidence?!" he roared.

The woman's name was Lanhua, and she was a palace maid in Linglong Palace.

She knew her identity would be exposed, so she immediately denied it: "No."

"You still dare to say no?" Qin Yun was murderous: "The evidence is irrefutable, and you still dare to deny it!"

"Go, bring Wang Min to me. I want to see how she explains herself!"

The voice just fell.

Outside the imperial study, a guard stumbled in.

"Your Majesty, this is bad. Concubine Wang was assassinated and was found lying in a pool of blood. She is now dying!"

These words instantly made the imperial study quiet.

What happened? Why was Wang Min assassinated again?

Mr. Feng, Chang Hong and others all showed suspicious expressions at the same time.

……

dawn.

Linglong Hall.

Qin Yun came here.

The assassins have been caught. They are Wang Min's own palace maids. They and Lanhua were taken to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation.

The imperial physician slowly withdrew and said to Qin Yun respectfully, "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is no longer in danger of death, but she has lost too much blood. I'm afraid it will take a long time for her to recover."

Qin Yun looked at an imperial physician calmly and asked meaningfully, "Is the imperial concubine's wound serious?"

"Deep!" The old doctor frowned and said firmly: "The imperial concubine's abdomen was almost pierced by the dagger. If it is discovered later, it will be too late to save her!"

Qin Yun rubbed his eyebrows and felt a headache.

This matter became more and more confusing.

He waved his hand casually, asking the imperial doctors to leave, and then walked into the bedroom alone.

Wang Min, lying on the bed, was as pale as paper and was barely breathing. She looked like a leaf blown by the wind and could disappear at any time.

If it is self-mutilation, it is a self-torture tactic.

Is that a bit too harsh?

And how do you explain the matter of the maid Lanhua?

Standing in front of the bed, Qin Yun was speechless for a long time.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Wang Min suddenly opened her eyes and her dry red lips slightly opened.

Qin Yun said calmly, "You are injured, you should take a good rest. When you recover, I have something very important to ask you!"

Wang Min raised one hand with great effort, trying to grab Qin Yun, her beautiful eyes full of hope and tenderness.

"Your Majesty, I know you have misunderstood."

"Today, I accidentally discovered the conversation of the maids in the palace. They were plotting to kill General Xiao and they also said they wanted to put the blame on me on behalf of their master."

"I wanted to report this to His Majesty, but I accidentally stepped on a branch and startled them."

"Then, I was murdered, and when I woke up I was lying here."

Hearing this, Qin Yun sneered and said, "How could such a coincidence exist in the world?"

"Your own maidservant is actually someone else's hidden killer. What a coincidence that you heard their conversation today?"

"Humph!"

He snorted again, feeling extremely disgusted with the two faces of Wang Min.

Seeing this, tears flowed from the corners of Wang Min's eyes, and her appearance made people feel so pity for her.

"Your Majesty, is this really the case? Would I joke about my own life?"

"Although the Wang family and the Xiao family have always been at odds, and the Wang family is happy about the downfall of the Xiao family, your majesty should not forget that the Wang family also has many sworn enemies with different opinions!"

Qin Yun's expression remained cold.

From the first assassination to the fire last night, so many things have happened. It is impossible to say that it has nothing to do with the Wang family. And as a woman of the Wang family, how could Wang Min stand idly by?

These reasons are just excuses Wang Min came up with to shirk responsibility.

At this time, Wang Min struggled to get up.

Her pretty face looked a little sickly, an unhealthy white.

She stepped on the ground with her bare feet, covered the wound on her abdomen with her left hand, held the edge of the bed with her right hand, frowned, and tried to kneel down with great difficulty.

"Your Majesty, if you do not believe me and think that the assassination of General Xiao by the maid of Linglong Palace has something to do with me, then imprison me in the Heavenly Prison."

"After you have investigated thoroughly, it won't be too much to let me out."

"I am willing to do this."

She said weakly, with a hint of understanding smile on her lips, she was so sensible that it made people feel distressed.

If the original owner of the body was here, he would probably be heartbroken.

But now Qin Yun felt no ripples in his heart. Instead, he felt that this woman was very scary. She had a plan for her actions and was extremely cunning!

"Whether it is or not, I know it in my heart. I will naturally investigate it and then draw a conclusion!"

"During this period of time, you should stay in Linglong Palace and recuperate. You are not allowed to go anywhere without my order!" Qin Yun was indifferent, and his voice was a bit scolding.

Hearing this, Wang Min's body trembled, and there was an unpleasant look in her eyes. Is this a disguised form of house arrest?

"Your Majesty, will you come to see me?"

She took a few steps forward on her knees, fell to the ground, and hugged Qin Yun's feet.

Qin Yun waved his sleeves and looked down at Wang Min coldly.

"I have advised you to take care of yourself. Since you want to play, I will play with you to the end!"

After saying that, he broke free from Wang Min's hand and left Linglong Palace, not wanting to stay even for a moment longer.

Wang Min fell to the ground, his eyes kept changing, and he was speechless for a long time.

Qin Yun's attitude towards her was worse than she had imagined. Although Lanhua had barely survived the arrest, it was no different for her to be sent to the cold palace.

She stood up slowly, obviously not as immobile as before.

Suddenly, a cold light flashed from her charming eyes, and she gritted her teeth and said, "What on earth has happened? How could a fool emperor become so shrewd now?"

"No, if this continues, the Wang family will be abolished by the Xiao family sooner or later. I want to take back the initiative. I don't believe that you are so hard-hearted, Qin Yun!"
