pet queen [rebirth]

"The assassination of the northern barbarians was first discovered by King Ning, and the guards in the palace were also recommended by King Ning, so King Ning was allowed to stay. The emperor gave King Ning a chance to reward him for his merits."

"Reward on merit?" Emperor Xuancheng said slowly, "You are a prince, why should you reward on merit?"

Su Mingmo continued: "In the heart of the emperor, King Ning is far less popular than King Duan and the crown prince. If they gain power in the future, who can guarantee that they will not embarrass King Ning? Ming Mo is only standing on the side of King Ning. He considers that he will not be bullied if he has meritorious service and rewards."

"You want me to protect him more."

Su Mingmo was generous, but Emperor Xuancheng couldn't say anything more, and said: "Forget it, if you want to stay, you can keep it."

Li Youde gave Xiao Qian and Su Mingmo a place to rest in the warm pavilion of the side hall.

There was nothing in the warm pavilion. It was the place where Emperor Xuancheng occasionally discussed important matters with his ministers. There was no place to lie down, so he could only sit.

Xiao Qian and Su Mingmo served a cup of tea each.

Xiao Qian thought about it.

After making sure that no one outside could hear it, he said to Su Mingmo: "Actually, this king doesn't need these meritorious rewards, he has his own..."

"There are a lot of ways," Su Mingmo said with a smile, "My lord, I know you are powerful, but isn't it good to have multiple paths? My lord is planning for my elder brother, and I want my elder brother to take this opportunity to find an official position in Beijing. Yu also wants to plan for the prince, and hope that the road that the prince can walk in the future will become wider and smoother."

Xiao Qian's heart moved, he put down his teacup, and was about to say something when he suddenly heard a voice from outside: "Catch the assassin! Catch the assassin!"

Even though they had been prepared for a long time, Xiao Qian and Su Mingmo even had the mood of staying out of the way to deal with what was going to happen tonight, but when the assassin really came, Xiao Qian still felt nervous.

No, there seems to be something wrong.

With a sound of "dole", an arrow feather broke through the window and came straight towards Xiao Qian's face.

"My lord, be careful!" Su Mingmo's eyes were quick and his hands were quick. Thanks to his recent skills and kung fu, he reacted a lot faster. He put one hand on Xiao Qian's back and pressed down his upper body.

The arrow feather happened to be nailed to the wall behind Xiao Qian.

Xiao Qian had already reacted, and without Su Mingmo's reminder, he could have dodged the arrow, but because of the sudden incident, Xiao Qian had no time to pay attention to it. When he came back to his senses, another arrow feather shot out of the window. Come in, blown by the gust of wind, brushed against Su Mingmo's arm, and nailed it to the wall behind.

The arrow feathers shot in one after another, as if they knew that there was someone in Mingxin Hall, and they wanted to kill them precisely.

"The water is gone! The water is gone!"

The shouts of the eunuchs sounded outside.

Xiao Qian went to check on Su Mingmo first, he was injured, his robe was torn by arrow feathers, and the wound was bleeding continuously.

If they are like this, it goes without saying that Emperor Xuan Cheng is there.

Xiao Qian originally thought that the northern barbarians could not infiltrate the palace in large numbers, and the impact would be limited. Even if they recruited elite troops, all of them would be killers with high martial arts skills. There were imperial guards in the palace. Experience.

Not to mention Su Mingmo's elder brother, all of the Beijiang Zhenyuan Army are elite, and they can directly go into battle to command and kill the enemy. Isn't it a piece of cake to deal with a few northern barbarian assassins?

Unless there is an internal response in this palace.

Thinking of this, Xiao Qian's eyes darkened, and he tore off a hole in the hem of his clothes, helped Su Mingmo bandage up to stop the bleeding, and said, "Don't stay here, the fire feather arrow will burn this place, go out and find your elder brother!"

"My lord!" Su Mingmo said, "I'll follow you!"

Xiao Qian couldn't resist him, so he had no choice but to take him out.

The Fire Feather Arrow has set the entire Mingxin Hall on fire, and thick smoke is billowing everywhere. This is also beneficial. Under the protection of the thick smoke, the arrow feathers of hidden weapons cannot accurately injure people.

But Mingxin Palace can't stay for long, if you don't go out as soon as possible, you won't be burned to death, or you will be suffocated to death.

Xiao Qian taught Su Mingmo to cover his mouth and nose with the hem of his clothes, and when he walked to the outer hall, he saw Li Youde anxiously saying: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, wake up!"

Surrounded by thick smoke, Xiao Qian raised his voice: "What's wrong?"

"My lord!" Li Youde hurriedly said, "Come and help!"

Xiao Qian pushed through the thick smoke, and many guards around him fell to the ground after being shot by arrows, and Li Youde was also injured.

There are traces left by arrow feathers in Mingxin Hall.

In order to ensure that the assassins would not mix in with the guards, most of the guards stayed outside, which showed that the defense outside the Heart Hall was quite tight, but now there were sounds of swords and swords facing each other outside the hall, and the guards inside the hall were already breathless.

No, it's too wrong, as if someone had already anticipated the defense of the palace.

Xiao Qian went to check on Emperor Xuan Cheng. Fortunately, he had no external injuries. Maybe those guards lost their lives to protect Emperor Xuan Cheng, and Emperor Xuan Cheng himself was so weak that he inhaled too much smoke and passed out.

Xiao Qian supported Emperor Xuan Cheng, and said to Li Youde: "Let's take Father Emperor out first."

"But now there are assassins outside!" Li Youde said anxiously.

"If we don't go out, we will all die!"

Xiao Qian carried Emperor Xuancheng to go out. He wanted to hand over Emperor Xuancheng to Su Mingmo and go out to open the way by himself, but he didn't expect that with a "bang", the door of Mingxin Palace was smashed open by a person's body.

Xiao Qian took a closer look and saw that it was the injured Imperial Guard. He fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood: "Take Your Majesty away!"

Xiao Qian looked up, and the assassin in black had already barged in.

So many people can't defend against the assassin.

Xiao Qian handed Emperor Xuancheng to Su Mingmo, and said to Li Youde: "Take Your Majesty away!"

He took the bloody long sword from the guard on the ground.

Xiao Qian perched on it.

The assassin's moves were not like those of the northern barbarians, but more like those of the people from the Central Plains.

Xiao Qian's thoughts turned, and he fought with the assassin.

The outside mask is the cry of walking water and the sound of help.

The assassin seemed to know that the longer the delay, the more unfavorable the situation would be for them, and the move was fatal, approaching Xiao Qian's vital point.

Fortunately, Xiao Qian has the experience of the previous life, and he fought endlessly.

The assassin also saw Xiao Qian's thoughts, he didn't intend to fight, and turned his head to force Emperor Xuan Cheng away.

Siqing suddenly came out from nowhere, and killed the assassin with a single blow.

"My lord!" Siqing said, "I have checked outside the palace, and those people have basically figured out the defense of the imperial guards. They targeted the target, and even the fire feather arrows were wrapped in kerosene. No, Commander Huang has already dispatched someone else, you guys go away!"

As soon as the words fell, Su Mingchen came in from the outside, looked around: "Zi Yu!"

"Brother?" Su Mingmo hurriedly said, "I'm here!"

Su Mingchen breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "The situation is basically under control, take your Majesty to other halls to rest, and I will let people deal with the aftermath here."

Su Mingchen really has this ability.

Xiao Qian and Li Youde took Emperor Xuancheng to the Queen's Palace.

Although the harem was affected by this assassination, the main forces were still concentrated in the Mingxin Palace, the queen's hair was messed up, and the Yong'an Palace also had traces of being burned, but it was much better than the Mingxin Palace.

The queen put Emperor Xuancheng down, turned her head, and said to Xiao Qian, "What's going on here?"

Xiao Qian's expression was solemn: "I'm afraid there is an inner ghost in this palace."

"This..." the queen panicked, "What should I do?"

"Queen, don't worry, my elder brother has his own solution." Su Mingmo said from the side.

All night until dawn.

Thanks to Su Mingchen's well-organized layout, most of the imperial guards were loyal to Emperor Xuancheng to the death. After an unexpected killing battle, Su Mingchen left some alive, and the rest were killed on the spot.

However, those survivors seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and they committed suicide by biting off the pill hidden in the bottom of their tongues.

Even so, Su Mingchen still found some clues from them.

Except for a few assassins who looked like northern barbarians when they took off their masks, the others were all faces of the Central Plains.

Su Mingchen even looked familiar to a few people.

He searched those people carefully, and found a badge of the Beijiang Zhenyuan Army.

This discovery is truly horrifying.

General Luo, the head coach of the Zhenyuan Army, will definitely not betray Emperor Xuancheng, otherwise the northern barbarians would have invaded, and neither would Su Mingchen. Then only the northern barbarians have infiltrated into the Zhenyuan army. Based on recent events, who did it? It goes without saying.

Su Mingchen had no choice but to wait for Emperor Xuancheng to wake up.

The imperial physician stayed by for a whole night, and Emperor Xuan Cheng finally woke up faintly.

The first thing he said when he woke up was: "Has the assassin been caught?"

Su Mingchen waited at the side, and knelt down when he heard the words: "The humble position is incompetent, and there is no survivor."

Commander Huang also said aside: "Your Majesty, those assassins are very familiar with the defenses in the palace, and they are even familiar with the tricks and routines of the imperial guards. The humble official and Mr. Su have been in the palace recently, especially outside the Mingxin Palace. Strict defense, even the previous guard shift has been disrupted and changed, so tight, it should not cause such serious consequences last night. Moreover, they are well aware of the habits of our imperial guards, and before the humble officers stop them, they have already He took poison and killed himself."

Emperor Xuancheng coughed: "It's useless!"

Su Mingchen hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, but I found a clue on the assassin."

After speaking, he presented the waist badge.

Li Youde took it and handed it to Emperor Xuan Cheng.

Su Mingchen said: "The humble official has sent pigeons to pass on the letter, and someone hastened to send a message to General Luo. Presumably General Luo will have a way to find out who did it."

Su Mingchen didn't say anything clearly, but Emperor Xuancheng already had a calculation in his mind.

He squeezed the waist card in his hand tightly, and said: "Call to the prince! Pass to Tang Anhe! Tell them to roll over and see me immediately!"
