Nine dragons fight for the throne, I don't want to sit on this throne

"Your Majesty, do you not believe that His Royal Highness Prince Chu can find the murderer?"

Inside the Yangxin Hall.

Zhao Ming looked at the emperor with confusion.

We have already found a painter, so why not just draw the portrait and arrest the person based on the portrait?

But the emperor sneered: "Chu Ning made such a big fuss, how could it be so simple? You should immediately ask the shadow guards to keep a close eye on the Chu Palace."

"Yes!" Zhao Ming responded and immediately went down to make arrangements.

Although he didn't understand what the emperor meant, Zhao Ming knew that there were some things he shouldn't ask.

Now that he is in charge of the Shadow Guard, he only needs to follow the emperor's orders.

Soon, the sky darkened.

Prince Chu's Palace, at the gate of the backyard.

An imperial physician in official uniform saluted Chu Ning and said, "Your Highness, Miss Mo's injuries have been treated. You must not stimulate her again, otherwise the wound will burst again."

Chu Ning raised his eyebrows: "So, the painter can't ask any more questions?"

The doctor smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that's the case. What Miss Mo needs most right now is rest."

"I understand. Come, take the doctor down to claim the reward."

"Thank you, Your Highness, King Chu."

After sending the imperial physician away, Chu Ning turned around and glanced at the house in the courtyard, raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that we can't let Mo Yingying come out today."

"Ran Ming, go tell those painters to go back today and come back tomorrow morning."

"If there are people who are far away from here, you can let them stay in the palace to rest."

"Yes!" Ran Ming responded and turned to go to the front yard to make arrangements.

Soon, Ran Ming came to the front yard.

The painters, who were already impatient with waiting, immediately came forward to ask.

"General Ran Ming, what's the situation?"

"Yeah, we've been waiting here for a whole day, and it's already dark. You should at least give us an explanation, right?"

"Yes, we have been here for a day, we can't wait in vain, right?"

"How is Mo Yingying doing?"

Everyone was noisy, but Ran Ming didn't tolerate them.

"That's enough, stop arguing!"

Ran Ming roared angrily, and a powerful aura gushed out, and everyone retreated in fear.

"Humph, I'm here to pass on a message for His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu!"

Ran Ming glared at everyone and said, "Mo Yingying's wound has burst, and she cannot be stimulated now. She will not be able to show up today.

The King of Chu told you to go back first and come back tomorrow morning. If you are far away from here, you can stay in the palace and rest tonight.

Now, those who wish to go back can go directly, and those who wish to stay can stay where they are, and someone will come over to give you mats later."

Everyone looked at each other in surprise when they heard this. No one expected that after waiting for a whole day, this would be the result.

However, they all saw Mo Yingying's situation today, so it was difficult for them to say much about it.

At one time, many people in the city left.

Of course, there are also people who live far away and may not have enough time to go back and forth in one night, so they simply choose to stay.

In a short while, most of the people at the scene left, leaving only about twenty people.

Afterwards, maids brought mats and distributed them to everyone, asking them to rest on the ground in the yard.

Fortunately, it is summer now and the weather is hot, so it is still quite cool to rest in the yard.

In order to earn money, a group of painters can overcome this difficulty.

Maybe living in the palace would be a great thing if it got out.

Among them, there are many people who have such thoughts.

As night fell, the painters who were originally talking to each other gradually became quiet.

Under the night sky, the starlight shines down, illuminating the shadows of people on the ground.

Soon, time passed and it was midnight.

It was late at night, everything was silent, and the entire Chu Palace was quiet.

At this moment, five painters who were lying quietly on the ground suddenly stood up.

The man glanced at the guard at the door and found that he was resting against the pillar, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

The five people looked at each other, then stood up, and under the cover of night, quietly walked from the front yard through the courtyard to the backyard.

They had a clear division of labor: one person was exploring the way ahead, one was observing on the roof, two were moving forward quickly in the middle, and one was on guard at the back.

They maintained their formation and soon found a house in the backyard guarded by a maid.

However, it was already midnight and the maid was already sitting in front of the door, leaning against the porch pillar and fell asleep.

One of them had a cold look in his eyes, and he stepped forward and knocked the maid unconscious with a knife.

They came to the palace disguised as painters, and naturally did not dare to carry any weapons. At the moment, they had no weapons in their hands, so they could only knock out the maid first.

After dealing with the maid at the door, the man waved his right hand and two of them rushed into the house, while the other three remained guarding outside.

They knew very well that the Chu Palace was heavily guarded. If everyone rushed into the room and something unexpected happened outside, they would not have time to escape.

Therefore, they only sent two people into the house to kill Mo Yingying, and the other three stood guard outside the house.

inside the house.

Mo Yingying was lying on the bed resting, and a pale face appeared in front of the two men.

"Humph!"

The leading man snorted coldly, raised his right hand, and slapped Mo Yingying's neck hard!

With such force, if it hits a seriously injured little girl, Mo Yingying will definitely die.

Just as the man's face was grim and he was excited thinking that he was about to succeed, a sneer sounded in the house.

Immediately afterwards, two palace guards suddenly rushed out from under the bed in the room and forced the two men back with a knife.

"No, I was fooled!"

Realizing that something was wrong, the two turned around and left without saying a word.

But at this moment, there was a roar from outside: "Go, we are surrounded!"

As soon as the words fell, the two people in the house rushed out, only to see a large group of palace guards surrounding them outside the house.

"Why did you come out?"

"There are people inside too!"

As they were talking, several palace guards rushed out of the house and blocked their retreat.

This scene made the five people's faces change drastically, and they realized that they were being plotted against.

At this moment, the palace guards who surrounded them suddenly made way for them, and Chu Ning walked along the road like a dragon and a tiger and came in front of everyone.

Glancing at the five people, Chu Ning said calmly, "Are you here to kill Mo Yingying?"

"Hmph, do you think we will tell you?" The leading man stared at Chu Ning, his eyes full of unwillingness.

This attitude made Ran Ming behind Chu Ning glare: "Do you want to die?"

As he spoke, Ran Ming had already rushed out.

Chu Ning raised his eyebrows: "Don't kill them, I still have some use for them."

Ran Ming, who wanted to kill, immediately retracted 70% of his strength and punched the leader hard.

"Ah~" the man screamed, and before he could react he was knocked flying.

The palace guards immediately rushed forward and captured the man.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the other four turned around and used their lightness skills to jump onto the roof.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, several large nets suddenly fell from the eaves and covered them!

"Tie them up, I will interrogate them personally!"
