Chapter 489: Something's Wrong

Zian waved his hand, "No, don't get me wrong, what kind of relationship do I want? Although he and Lao Qi are brothers, they never regard Lao Qi as an older brother. He wants to kill Lao Qi all the time. How could I treat him like this? show mercy?"

"Then what's the matter with you?" Zhuang Zhuang asked.

Zi'an couldn't tell, after all, there was no evidence, everything was just her guess.

She thought for a while, "Forget it, follow the Night King's plan, kill as soon as you kill, so that Lao Qi will have no worries."

He is on the front line, if he is still thinking about the affairs of the court, he will inevitably be distracted. The two armies are facing each other, and the game of life and death is the last thing to be distracted.

Zhuang Zhuang nodded, "It's good if you know how to think this way. In fact, Lao Ba is my nephew, who is connected by flesh and blood. I can't bear it, but he has to get rid of his wolf ambition. If he stirs up civil strife again, what will happen to the capital? What will this country look like? I remember that the ancestors taught the emperor before that the people of the Li people, the country and the country, the country can only be consolidated by the people. In the midst of the war, the people are born in sorrow and die without bones. It is a chaotic world and a purgatory. , outsiders rebelled, there is nothing we can do about it, but the old man is from our Murong family, and the Murong family is in chaos first, so we must be severely punished."

Zi'an said: "Since we have made a decision, let's proceed according to the original plan. I will go to see the old lady first." Zi'an said.

"I'll accompany you there." Zhuang Zhuang stood up, "Is she seriously injured? Did you bandage her?"

"I hurt my arm, it's okay, just rest for a few days, the old lady is always strong." Zi'an really admired him. Although there were guards present at the time, the old lady was in charge of martial arts, fighting to the death Sergeant, only slightly injured.

The old lady was resting in the wing room of Huiqing Palace. When Zian came in, she just wanted to go out, but Liu Liu held her down and refused to let her go out.

"Zian, you came just in time, she is always clamoring to see you." Seeing Zian's arrival, Liu Liu felt like a savior.

Zi'an turned his eyes straight, and looked at Chen Taijun, "Is it better?"

"Just now, the old man wanted to talk to you, but there were outsiders present, and you sat down, and the old man felt that something was wrong." The old lady said seriously.

Zi'an thumped in his heart, "You also found something wrong?"

"Yes, Sun Fang'er and I had dinner at Ci'an Palace tonight. The noble concubine was very polite. At that time, the old man thought she had poisoned her, but after testing the food, it was not poisonous. After eating, she sent the old man out herself. And at the door, he spoke loudly to the old man."

"Say it loudly? What did you say?" Zian asked quickly.

"She said that after listening to the old man's words today, she suddenly realized what she said about everyone's life. The mother-child relationship of the Prince Regent."

Zi'an and Zhuang Zhuang looked at each other, both a little strange, it doesn't look like what the Concubine Gui said.

"Could it be that she has really changed her sex? That's why the old eight killed him?" Zhuang Zhuang asked doubtfully.

"Who did you say this on purpose? How did she know someone was there? Could it be that she knew in advance that someone was going to assassinate?" Liu Liu was also deeply puzzled.

Zian asked: "Old Madam, are those assassins recruiting ruthless hands?"

"Yeah, if it wasn't like this, how could the old man be injured? If there are only a few little thieves, if they didn't fight desperately, would the old man be killed?"

It seems that it is a 100% killing move, but if the Concubine Gui knew that King Nanhuai would kill her, why was she not prepared? It doesn't make sense that she didn't even deploy human guards.

It can be said that she didn't know that King Nanhuai would attack, so who was she speaking to the old matriarch? It was definitely not for the old lady to hear, if I had to say it, I would have said it earlier, I would not say it for such a long time after a meal, but only said it aloud when the prime minister was delivered to the door, lest others would not hear.

"Old Madam, how many assassins are there? Did you see clearly?" Zian asked.

"Seven, I can see it clearly, all seven of them have fought against the old man, their lightness kung fu is really amazing."

"The seven are not masked, are they?"

"No."

"Then do you remember what those people looked like?"

The old lady laughed, "How could I remember? When we fought, I only focused on seeing the opponent's moves. How could I know what he looked like? Besides, there are so many seven people, so I can remember one or two. impossible."

Zhuang Zhuang asked: "What do you suspect?"

Zian didn't answer, and continued to ask the old lady, "How long have you been confronting the assassin? After you were injured, those people didn't continue to pester you, but broke into the palace instead?"

"The confrontation lasted for a stick of incense, and after the old man was injured, they all went in."

"Then you didn't follow up?"

"No, because there was the sound of arrows raining at that time, the old man thought that there were still people lurking on the other side, so he stayed at the palace gate and waited for the second batch of assassins."

"But, there is no second batch of assassins, is there? You said that you heard the sound of arrows raining, and finally, did arrows shoot over?"

"Yes!" the old matriarch said, "Aren't there arrows at the scene? They were shot by the enemy after the assassin entered."

Zi'an said, "There are no arrows at the scene."

The old matriarch was stunned, "Why not? When the old man turned around and entered the hall, there were arrows on the ground that the old man knocked down."

"No, when the imperial guards inspected the scene, they found no arrows," Zi'an said.

The old matriarch asked suspiciously: "Did it not be discovered or was it picked up?"

"Let's not mention this. I am more confused. Why didn't the two living assassins bite the poison and kill themselves? If they were restrained, but according to the palace guard's narration, after they entered the palace, the imperial army had not yet arrived. .”

"The forbidden army didn't come, but Ah Fu came with the hidden guards." The old lady said lordly.

"How long did it take you to enter the palace after the assassin entered?" Zi'an asked.

"It didn't take long, just a short time, and it's less than half the time to inject incense."

Zi'an said in a deep voice: "This is the problem. It took you and the guards to defend against seven assassins. It took a stick of incense, but in the end they failed to hurt the assassins. You were even injured by the assassins, but the assassins entered the palace for a while. , they were all injured and finally committed suicide by biting poison. Ah Fu and the hidden guards beside the Concubine Gui are so strong in martial arts? Also, how did Sun Fanger get injured? She was injured by a dagger, not a sword."

The old matriarch said: "Yes, this is the crux of the problem. The old man just found out that something was wrong, so he said he wanted to discuss it with you. Sun Fang'er could not have been killed by an assassin. Although assassins sometimes carry two weapons, the murderer When you use one, you can use one, especially when dealing with an unarmed woman, and there is no need to change weapons."

"You think so too? Sun Fang'er's injury is the key. Since she was not killed by an assassin, there is only one person who can kill her. She was the one who protected the noble concubine in. There are only her and the noble concubine in the palace. I guessed like this before, but there is only one point." I can't figure it out, since she is a mother Gu, her poison cannot be cured until the child Gu is dead, and the same fate Gu has not been cured, why did she kill Sun Fang'er?"
