Chapter 488 Nostalgia

Seven men in black fell to the ground one after another. Ah Fu came in with her hidden guards. The imperial concubine quickly opened the door of the inner hall, and two men in black came out, and took the two dead men in black to the ground. Drag it in, and then repair the sword on the chest of each man in black. After that, the two stabbed each other again, and fell to the ground with a grain of poison in their mouths.

When the old matriarch and others rushed in, the noble concubine held her arm, and the guards led by Ah Fu withdrew their swords and pointed at the assassin on the ground.

At the same time, a large number of forbidden troops also arrived, the two injured men in black were taken down, and the unconscious Sun Fang'er was also carried out.

Seeing that Sun Fanger could still move, Ah Fu wanted to chase her out, but was stopped by the imperial concubine, Sun Fanger could not survive. Although she was seriously injured and fell to the ground just now, she also inhaled the poisonous powder. Although the weight is not much, it should not last long.

The assassination in the palace, and the incident happened in the palace of the empress dowager, naturally attracted attention.

The matter reached the emperor's ears, and the emperor asked Liang Wang and Ye Wang to rush over to deal with it, and must find out the identity of the assassin.

The two men in black who were captured were taken down for interrogation.

The rest of the men in black were discarded in the mass grave after examining the corpses.

The interrogation was conducted by the Night King in person, and interrogated with the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

The old matriarch was slightly injured, but it didn't bother her. Zian bandaged her, and she was basically fine.

Sun Fang'er, on the other hand, is in a more serious condition and has not woken up yet.

The imperial concubine said to the court with red eyes: "You must save her at all costs, she is the future Nanhuai princess."

Hearing this, Zian thought that the Concubine Gui valued Sun Fang'er very much, after all, Sun Fang'er was a great helper.

"Let me go and have a look!" Sun Fang'er is the key to unlocking the Gu, and she really can't die.

The noble concubine said with a cold face: "You? Are you responsible for her death? Get lost and don't get close to her."

Zian privately said to the court: "If the situation is not good, you can tell me right away."

"Yes, princess!" the judge said.

In fact, there is no need for an interrogation. Zian thinks that these assassins were sent by King Nanhuai. Just as Hu Huanxi told Sun Fanger, King Nanhuai wanted to assassinate Concubine Gui so that he could stay in Beijing.

Now that his biological mother died, he would have to keep his filial piety for a year, and this year was enough for him to toss around in Beijing.

Zian felt that the two living assassins would not be able to find out anything. She had seen the dead men of King Nanhuai before, so she would rather die than speak.

Moreover, five of them have already died of poisoning, and they should have killed themselves by biting the poison just like last time.

Poison was also found in the mouths of the other two living assassins, but they were held and could not be crushed, probably due to injuries.

"This time is really dangerous. Didn't you already order someone to protect the Concubine Gui? Why are there assassins around?" Zhuang Zhuang asked Zian, if King Nanhuai succeeded this time and Concubine Gui died, Old Qi is really dangerous.

"Not yet, I sent out the manpower, thinking to restrain the King of Nanhuai first to avoid future troubles." Zi'an was secretly startled, if the old matriarch was not present this time, the noble concubine would have really been murdered.

Zhuang Zhuang scolded: "This old man is outrageous, my own mother will do it as soon as she says it will."

"Their mother and son are the same kind of people. Didn't the imperial concubine also attack Lao Qi?" Zi'an sat down and thought about the whole thing. He always felt that something was wrong, but after repeated thinking, there was nothing wrong with it. .

"What's wrong? Are you still afraid?" Seeing her pale face, Zhuang Zhuang asked.

"No," Zian looked at Zhuang Zhuang, "Do you think things are weird?"

Zhuang Zhuang was stunned, "What's so weird? Is it an assassin lurking in the Ci'an Palace? The old eight people are all martial arts masters, and their lightness skills are so good. It's not surprising that they can lurk in the Ci'an Palace, but the old eight is bad at chess One trick, it doesn't count that the old matriarch is in Ci'an Palace, otherwise, it will be successful this time."

Zi'an said: "Yes, but why didn't he count that Chen Taijun is here? Chen Taijun has been stuck in Ci'an Palace these days, and at that time, Chen Taijun was leaving, and no one found the existence of the assassin. The assassin can leave after Chen Taijun After that, do you start? But this also makes sense, the old eight wanted to kill the old matriarch together, so he started before the old matriarch left."

"Yes, once Chen Taijun died, he lost one obstacle."

"But why did King Nanhuai kill Sun Fang'er?" Zian didn't understand this point. King Nanhuai and Concubine Gui would probably not kill Sun Fang'er. Could it be that they knew about Sun Fang'er and Hu Huanxi's relationship?

But after King Nanhuai left Beijing, Sun Fang'er went to find Hu Huanxi. How did he know that Sun Fang'er had told Hu Huanxi everything?

Even though King Nanhuai has been ordering people to monitor Sun Fanger, her people have been monitoring King Nanhuai all the time, and no one reported to King Nanhuai during this period.

Zian couldn't figure this out.

"I heard that Sun Fang'er was injured by a dagger, didn't the assassin use a sword?" Zhuang Zhuang asked suddenly.

Zi'an said: "Yes, I also don't understand this point, but there are only Concubine Gui and Ah Fu in the palace. It is impossible for Concubine Gui to kill Sun Fang'er, unless the same life Gu is dispelled."

"This is impossible. The mother Gu can only be untied if the child Gu is dead. If the child Gu is not dead, the mother Gu cannot be undone."

"How do you know?" Zian asked in surprise, even she didn't know this.

"When Aunt Snake came, I asked her."

"Aunt Snake knows how to detoxify Gu?"

"She didn't understand, but she knew what was going on."

Zian remembered what Aunt A Snake said about being jealous, and saw vinegar in the concubine's room, "Could it be possible to cure Gu by drinking vinegar? But if it's like you said, the same fate Gu needs to die after Zi Gu dies." To detoxify the mother Gu, now that the child Gu is not dead, what is the noble concubine doing with Sun Fang'er's blood and vinegar?"

"She probably thinks that the seventh child is gone?" Zhuang Zhuang thought for a while and said, "If the seventh child is gone, she will naturally have to do something about it."

It seemed to make sense, Zian couldn't pick anything for a while, but he just felt strange in his heart.

"How many people did you send to ambush King Nanhuai?" Zhuang Zhuang asked.

"All the dark guards are dispatched, along with the Night King's men."

"Are you going to be cruel?" Zhuang Zhuang asked.

Zi'an nodded, "Ye Wang informed the emperor, and the emperor said that when we leave the bridge town, we will do it and cut the weeds and roots. But this matter cannot be done by the emperor. It can only be done by me and Ye Wang."

Zhuang Zhuang did some calculations, "He's in Qiao Town now, right? He will leave early tomorrow morning, and he probably won't do anything during the day. After all, officials and Taoists come and go. After passing Qiao Town, he should stay in Sujiang Mansion at night. Sujiang Mansion has The bandits make trouble, kill Lao Ba, and then push it to the bandits, this is a good plan."

"I actually wanted to restrain him, but I didn't mean to take his life now." Zi'an said.

Zhuang Zhuang frowned, "However, if we cut the weeds and don't get rid of the roots, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles."

"Yes, we are fighting a war now, and we really can't afford civil strife." Zian said, but he was still a little uneasy in his heart, always feeling that there was something inside to this matter.

King Nanhuai was so insane that he could even kill his own mother. He became vicious, it was really scary, this person should be eliminated early.

"What are you worried about?" Seeing her still hesitating, Zhuang Zhuang thought she was soft-hearted, so he couldn't help getting angry, "Could it be that you still think that he is Lao Qi's younger brother and want to spare him? You But think about it, you treat him like a brother-in-law, but he doesn't think that way, if you say kill him, you will kill him."
