Chapter 652 Assassinated
Rong Fei was very drunk.
Rong Leng hesitated between abandoning him or knocking him unconscious before abandoning him.
Logically speaking, knocking someone unconscious is the best way. When he woke up, he was still drunk. Even if he remembered that he had seen Rong Leng, it was too late to do anything.
The thought in his mind was complete, and Rong Leng had already regenerated the inner strength in his palm. He stared at the back of Rong Fei's neck and felt that the confused young man was tugging at the corner of his clothes like a child, mumbling in annoyance, Rong Leng Raising his arm, he looked at the palm and was about to fall.
At the critical moment, Rong Fei was unaware, but suddenly his body moved, his hand let go of the corner of Rong Ling's clothes, and his whole body fell crookedly along Rong Ling's clothes.
After a while, the person was lying on the ground, eyes closed, sleeping in a haze.
Rong Leng's hand paused in mid-air for a moment.
Speculating whether Rong Fei was really drunk or pretending to be drunk.
He stretched out his hand to push the lifeless man away, making sure that he was truly unconscious. Rong Leng stopped staying, turned around, and disappeared without a trace.
the other side.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that Lin Qilian was kicked out of the banquet.
Looking at the still gentle and kind face of the Queen, Lin Qilian felt a chill in her heart for the first time.
Back at the seat, Lin Qilian's mother asked her: "What's the matter? Are you willing to make the decision for you?"
Lin Qilian thought of the Queen's tone and face just now, and trembled. She held the back of her mother's hand and shook her head: "Mother, please don't talk about this matter again."
Lin Qilian's mother was stunned for a moment and was suspicious for a moment. Just when she was about to ask more questions, she heard Mrs. Lin next to her, now Mrs. Yipinming. .”
Lin Qilian's mother was a foreigner's daughter-in-law. When she heard this, she seemed to suddenly realize it. She immediately stopped saying anything, lowered her head and remained silent.
Lin Qilian listened to her grandmother's words and wanted to remind her to stop talking, but her grandmother held her hand and said assuringly: "Don't worry, they will make up for the face you have lost in the future. The empress will not do it for you." Make the decision, grandma makes the decision for you. Even if the fifth prince is inferior to one person or superior to ten thousand people, he will never treat your cousin so badly. The last time a letter of divorce was nailed to the door, you became everyone in the capital. What a joke, this time the three books and six etiquettes are standing in front of the hall, but it is his mother who hired him on his behalf. How can there be such rules and such upbringing? Only those who really want to bully you will lose face. give up?"
Lin Qilian's mother also felt sorry for her daughter, but she didn't dare to say anything more and could only nod quietly in agreement.
When Lin Qilian heard what her grandmother said, she felt aggrieved, but she thought of the Queen's delicate expression just now. She licked her lips, glanced up cautiously, and finally said to her grandmother: "Don't say anything about grandma, I ……I do not mind……"
She said she didn't mind, but as a girl, no one would really mind if something like this happened.
But at the same time, I heard someone shouting outside: "There is... there is an assassin - there is an assassin -"
Zhaoning Hall, which was originally noisy, came to a standstill because of these words.
The lingering and melancholy music of silk and bamboo suddenly stopped.
The eldest palace maid Shu Zhen ran out of the hall in a hurry and scolded the screaming person, but when Shu Zhen came in again, her face became extremely ugly.
In Zhaoning Hall, everyone looked at Shu Zhen in confusion, and Shu Zhen quickly walked to the Queen's side and whispered something in her ear.
The Queen frowned. After listening to Shu Zhen's words, she stood up suddenly, her face ashen.
The queen got off the phoenix seat and walked straight out. The maids and eunuchs around her followed her hurriedly.
Others in the palace were curious and scared, but when they saw the Queen going out in person, they all followed her out. After all, if there was an assassin, it would be safest to stay with the Queen.
And when they all went out, they heard a shocking news: "The fifth prince has been assassinated."
Lin Qilian stood behind the crowd, listening to the discussions in front of them, with a very bad look on her face. When a large group of people arrived at the small wing behind Zhaoning Palace, before she entered, she heard the voice of the Fifth Prince, coming from inside It was said: "Get out of here, everyone!"
Everyone outside the door stopped walking.
The Queen, who was walking at the front, paused for a moment, her graceful and elegant face showed some displeasure, and glanced at Shu Zhen. Shu Zhen had already obediently ignored the roar of the Fifth Prince, and reached out to push open the door of the small wing.
As soon as he opened the door, the pungent smell of blood filled his nose.
The Queen Mother, who was still calm at first, completely changed her expression. She quickly walked in, and the first thing she saw was blood all over the floor, and her son was lying on the soft couch with a pale face, covering his face with his hands. In his abdomen, his body shrank into a ball, and blood continuously overflowed from between his fingers.
The queen looked panicked and hurried over: "Fei'er?"
Rong Fei gritted his teeth and closed his eyes hard. When he saw so many people coming in at once, he once again burst into a stubborn roar: "Get out! Get out of here!"
The female family members who were stagnant outside the door had no choice but to stop their steps.
After shouting this sentence, Rong Fei seemed to have reached the end. There were more and more beads of sweat on his face, and the blood in his abdomen became more and more surging.
The queen ordered the imperial physician to be called, but Rong Fei fainted before the imperial physician arrived.
A quarter of an hour later, a strange rumor spread from Zhaoning Palace.
There was an assassin in the palace. The fifth prince fought against the assassin with his own strength. Unfortunately, he was assassinated and his body was fine. However, the imperial doctor diagnosed that the fifth prince had been deprived of any descendants and had become a useless person.
In short, the fifth prince was injured and became a eunuch.
Rong Leng, who had just left the palace, also heard this rumor, but unlike others who were worried or gloating about his misfortune, Rong Leng only said a calm "Huh", and then he was very sure that Rong Fei was pretending to sleep just now.
It seems that in order to escape from the promised marriage, this fifth brother really risked his life.
Because the fifth prince was killed in the palace, the good cleansing banquet had to be interrupted. The Ouchi guards began to closely investigate everyone who entered the palace today, and they must bring the assassin to justice.
As a gangster, the young girl and the young girl who were sneaked into the palace by Yu Wenyao were in trouble.
Rong Su's entourage had been dealing with the guards at the city gate for a long time, but the other party refused to let go and was very insistent. When the Seventh Prince entered the palace, he did not bring these two maids with him, and these two maids were indeed not present at the entrance. On the palace's allowable list.
Entry into the Imperial City requires a voucher, and even if it is a maid from a certain family, a list of names must be submitted first.
On the day of entering the palace, it is okay if the maid does not come, but if she does come, she must be in person and must be verified before she can enter the palace.
The person was brought in by Yu Wenyao, and the Yu Wen family originally thought that Yu Wen Minxin would also come to the palace, so they reserved two additional places for maids.
These two places were taken up by the older girl and the younger girl. But now, two maids followed Rong Su, who had no place, so it was unclear.
