Chapter 171 Familiar People

After thinking about it again and again, he came out and said: "Father, my uncle often teaches his sons and ministers to be diligent and love the people. I think this case is full of doubts. He should not be such a person."

In an instant, you could hear a needle drop in the palace.

Li Jincheng lowered his head and kept the same posture. He couldn't see Emperor Tongxu, but felt a sharp gaze falling on his head.

He regretted it, he shouldn't have said this.

Everyone knew that Marquis Xuanping was his uncle, and if something happened to Marquis Xuanping, it would be equivalent to him losing power.

Cold sweat broke out and wet his back.

Emperor Tongxu suddenly spoke, "Above the main hall, there are only monarchs and ministers, not father and son, let alone uncles."

"Come here." Emperor Tongxu said unhurriedly: "Take Marquis Xuanping into custody for verification."

The chief officer in front of the palace came forward to arrest Marquis Xuanping.

"Your Majesty!" Marquis Xuanping fought hard, "Who supported you so much that you were able to sit in the position you are in today? You can't just kill the donkey!"

Emperor Tongxu grabbed the armrest and leaned forward. At that moment, he really had murderous intentions.

He reigned for nineteen years, during which the Marquis Xuanping's palace became more honorable and favored. It was because he had been helped to ascend the throne in the first place that Marquis Xuanping could now say such things as killing the donkey.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Marquis Xuanping roared and was dragged out of Fengtian Palace.

Li Jincheng couldn't help feeling like his lips were dying and his teeth were cold.

Marquis Xuanping was a big help in supporting him. Many ministers in the court who favored Li Zhaonian criticized him. In recent years, there have been many attempts to establish another prince. If Marquis Xuanping is gone, what should he do? How to suppress those old guys?

The biggest question now is, what should I do if I get involved?

The night was getting dark. Shen Yu had just taken over Yu Hou's errand. She was not familiar with many things and would have to stay in the palace for several days.

The imperial doctors entered the Xuanhui Palace and came out half an hour later. All of them were sweating profusely.

Shen Yu stood under the eaves, thinking about the reactions of everyone in the palace today.

The frightened prince, Li Yanchang who took pleasure in the misfortune, Li Zhaonian who took it indifferently, and Li Jifeng who watched the excitement.

As for Emperor Tongxu's attitude, she still couldn't see clearly whether he wanted to protect the prince.

She thought of Xie Tingzhou again. From the beginning to the end, he seemed to be out of touch, only passing his gentle eyes over her from time to time.

The night is already deep.

A eunuch came over and saluted Shen Yu, "Yuhou."

Shen Yu nodded lightly, "What's the matter?"

The eunuch said: "This slave is here to deliver a message. He asked you not to stay up late at night and go back to the duty room to rest."

"May I have your name?"

"Song of my life, my slave," the eunuch said.

There were too many demons and monsters in the forbidden palace, and Shen Yu couldn't believe anyone.

"Who is that?"

Shun Shou smiled and presented something, "That person said, you will know after you see it."

Shen Yu took it and saw that it was the jade pendant that Xie Tingzhou had tied around his waist.

Seeing that she believed her, Shun Shou said with a smile: "I said that you are too casual about food on weekdays, so I told the servant to prepare food. When you get off duty, you will go to the duty room to rest. If you need anything, call the eunuch outside the duty room."

Shen Yu nodded in agreement, and after a while she went back to check in to rest.

The dishes were prepared on the table and warmed in a charcoal pot under the drawer, but they were not cold at this time.

As soon as Shen Yu opened the lid, a note fell out.

"It's not poisonous, feel free to eat."

It's Xie Tingzhou's handwriting.

Shen Yu felt relieved, holding the bowl and eating a little full, then strolled outside the duty room for a while.

Just as he was about to go back and rest, he heard a cry of killing.

"There's an assassin!"

"Catch the assassin! Protect His Majesty!"

The sound came from Xuanhui Hall.

Shen Yu was startled, turned around, took the knife and rushed out.

The check-in room was not far from Xuanhui Hall, and the closer we got, the louder the sound of fighting became.

The torches were lit outside the Xuanhui Palace, and countless Imperial Guards rushed towards the Xuanhui Palace.

There were only three assassins, each with strong skills. They fought hard when the situation was not right, and opened a hole in the weak spot of the Forbidden Army.

All the personnel rushed to Xuanhui Hall, but the room where the imperial guard was on duty was extremely quiet.

"Walk!"

The leading assassin's face was covered with black cloth, leaving only a pair of narrow and sharp eyes.

He was so powerful that one of the Forbidden Soldier's arms was broken off at shoulder level with one strike.

He kicked one person away, turned around and rushed towards the palace wall, heading towards the direction where the imperial guards were on duty.

Three black-clothed assassins ran wildly on the roof, countless arrows raining down from the sky.

There was a clanking sound, and all the arrows that came close were shot down.

"Go northwest, there are fewer people there." The assassin led by him was obviously very familiar with the palace's defenses.

The target on the roof was too big, and it was easy for others to see the direction of escape and chase him, so he jumped off the eaves and walked quietly in the palace alley.

Just after turning the corner, a beam of cold light flashed under the moon.

The assassin walking in the front quickly blocked it with his knife.

clang--

The assassin took a step back, his hand was numb from the shock, and he almost lost the knife in his hand, looking at the person in shock.

The assassin glanced at the knife in his hand, and saw that a gap had been opened by the blow just now.

If he hadn't been in deep danger, he would have really wanted to praise the knife! Good work! As expected, there is no shortage of masters in Ouchi.

He clenched the knife in his hand and took a step back calmly. The footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer, and it was his companion who was catching up.

If he was alone, he might not be able to come back today, but fortunately he still had companions.

The other two assassins chased after him, "Why don't you leave?"

After saying that, I saw a person standing in the shadow,

The man held the tip of his knife against the ground, with his hands folded and supporting the handle.

She stood in the dark, the moonlight came out from the top of the wall, and a split light and shadow was cut between her figure and the knife.

Only the knife was cold and fierce under the moonlight.

"Since we are here, we have to leave something behind." Shen Yu said, slowly raising the knife.

"You go first, I'll cover you!"

The assassin leader waved away the two people in front of him with one hand, raised the knife and attacked.

Shen Yu took the knife hard, and found that the assassin's kung fu was really not weak, at least equal to her, or even better.

Shen Yu did not dare to be arrogant, and had no time to take care of the other two men in black, and concentrated on fighting with the man in front of her.

The sound of weapons clashing rang out, and the cold light on the palace road was like flying snow.

There were already many imperial guards chasing at the other end of the palace road.

When the weapons clashed, Shen Yu took a step back, and the assassin took this opportunity to jump onto the wall.

Shen Yu chased after the assassin, and they both jumped onto the roof.

The assassin turned around and made a flashing move, Shen Yu drew her sword to block, but stopped halfway through the move and withdrew her momentum.

That move, that familiar move!

Shen Yu stared at the assassin, her face full of disbelief, her heart almost jumped out of her chest.

When fighting, a moment of distraction is a matter of life and death, and the blade is already in front of her.

Shen Yu leaned back, bent her waist to an incredible degree, and stepped back diagonally.

This move was extremely exquisite. If it weren't for the palace eaves that had been in disrepair for a long time, she could have completely avoided it.

It was a pity that when she moved, she clearly heard the sound of glazed tiles breaking.

Her feet slipped immediately, she lost her balance, and fell heavily under the eaves.
