Chapter 148 Assassination
Then, he continued to bury himself in an endless stream of memorials to review.
……
At this moment, Yan Yunshu, who was still rushing to Liuli Villa, was carefully changing the towel on Wei Ruopu's forehead.
So much time has passed, but Wei Ruopu still has a high fever.
Now we can only rush to Liuli Villa as soon as possible, find good medicinal herbs, and get proper treatment.
Yan Yunshu frowned, while Wei Ruopu had a slight smile on his lips.
"Thank you girl."
Yan Yunshu didn't reply.
Wei Ruopu sighed again, "I wonder how Yun Yi is doing?"
The worry between Yan Yunshu's brows grew even heavier. She paused holding the wet towel and spoke.
"The carriage is heavy and hasn't left the capital very far. The guards are galloping, and they should have reached the imperial city and met the new emperor by now. It's time to take action now."
"Miss, the new emperor has ascended the throne and is very busy. Besides, the imperial palace is different from the prince's palace. You can't see the emperor whenever you want."
"So..." Yan Yunshu looked out the window, "That's why I told them that if this route doesn't work, they can seek help from Ningshi Clinic."
"Ningshi Clinic? Miss..."
"Ningshi Clinic is the only clinic in Maple Forest City. It would be much more convenient for them to go there. My brother is seriously injured. If Xu Jingye and the others want to take my brother as a hostage, they will definitely seek medical treatment for him. In this case, Ningshi Clinic is the only place that can contact my brother. But how to get him out of the city? We can only seek greater help, and that is the new emperor Xu Jinghuai."
"The girl is thoughtful."
"Just rest and recuperate. Liuli Villa has many hot springs and is a great place for recuperation. Once you recover, we'll go to the outskirts of Fenglin City to bring my brother back."
"it is good!"
A light finally burst out from Wei Ruopu's gray eyes. After a moment, he finally fell into a deep sleep peacefully without any nightmares.
After Yan Yunshu comforted Wei Ruopu, she opened the curtains and looked at the white world.
She wasn't sure if everything would go as she wished.
The more you care about something, the less likely you are to put all your trust in it.
The wind and snow were merciless and the cold penetrated into the bones. The trucks had already rushed to Liuli Villa, while the several carriages they were in were struggling to move forward.
There is no end to the road leading to Liuli Villa, nor can you see where you came from.
In the vast expanse of snow, a grayish-white figure flew along like an eagle, hardly letting anyone feel his presence.
Until he suddenly rushed into the side of Yan Yunshu's carriage.
said in a deep voice.
"Girl, there's an assassin."
Assassin! Yan Yunshu was shocked, holding tightly in her hand the hidden weapon that Xu Jinghuai had made for her that day at the training ground.
It is extremely small, but it hides a mystery.
Just a light press can trigger the poison-tipped needles that can penetrate flesh and blood. This small hidden weapon contains tens of thousands of needles.
She is not afraid.
But when they saw the dark crowd coming towards their carriage.
She still panicked.
Her secret guard Falcon and her cousins were fighting desperately for her.
The secret guards and assassins arranged by my grandmother also joined the fight.
For a moment, as she looked at the equally matched number of people, one black and one gray, she realized how deeply her grandmother had planned for her.
It turns out that there are so many people guarding her, all in the dark that she can't see!
Moved by this, she also joined the battle with hidden weapons.
The hidden weapon was almost invisible, but once it penetrated, the poison took effect immediately.
But in a moment, they gained the upper hand.
Gradually, the fight became decided.
Finally, Yan Yunshu jumped off the carriage and walked towards the last survivor.
Seeing that he was powerless to save the victim, the man opened his mouth slightly and was about to bite.
But Yan Yunshu kicked him in the jaw, and he spat out a pill in his mouth with a wow.
In a hurry, he tried to pick up the pill again, but was kicked away by Falcon again.
Now, he could only look at Yan Yunshu in despair.
Yan Yunshu asked him viciously.
"Who?"
Of course he didn't say it.
Yan Yunshu said slowly, "You are a dead warrior. This life is over, but there is still a next life."
What is this? Having never seen such an interrogation, the cousins looked at Yan Yunshu in surprise.
The assassin was also confused and didn't understand what Yan Yunshu was talking about.
Yan Yunshu did not let him ask, but put the dagger in her cousin's hand against the assassin's throat and continued to speak without stopping.
"If you want to be born into a good family in your next life, then be a good person before you die. I've already given you this opportunity to be a good person. It's up to you whether you want it or not."
"My patience is limited. I'll only shout three times."
"three two……"
"I said, I said!"
Yan Yunshu pushed harder with her dagger and said, "Speak."
Blood oozed from the dagger.
"Duke Qi, it was Duke Qi who arranged for us to come here!"
Duke of Qi?
Princess Fengling's father?
I'm afraid it must be Princess Fengling! Yan Shuyao hiding in Princess Fengling's skin!
Yan Yunshu sneered, she took the dagger from his neck and stood up. Just when everyone thought that a woman was a woman and softened their hearts in an instant.
She suddenly turned sideways and thrust the dagger into the assassin's heart without hesitation.
Everyone was shocked.
She said coldly, "I'll give you a chance this time. Be a good person in your next life!"
The assassin fell to the ground.
The cousins looked at Yan Yunshu in disbelief.
"Shu...Shu'er..."
Yan Yunshu looked up at her cousins and said, "Cousins, have you forgotten that your cousin is the most evil woman in the capital? I didn't promise not to kill her!"
After saying that, Yan Yunshu threw the dagger back to her cousin.
The cousins took the dagger and said almost in unison.
"Oh, no, we can just do this kind of thing later. Why would we dirty my sister's hands?"
Yan Yunshu sat in the carriage, the fierce look on her face still lingering.
She looked at the still falling snow and thought of Yan Shuyao, Princess Fengling.
That so-called otherworldly world they call high and mighty has even more props.
Gritting teeth.
Yan Shuyao, if you treat me like this, I will make you suffer a thousand times more and die in agony!
The assassination failed and the news quickly spread back to Qilan Pavilion.
Princess Fengling held a black jade pendant engraved with the word "槐".
Listening to the reports from his subordinates, his face became distorted and ferocious.
"It's okay. This time we were just spying. Next time, we won't let them win so easily."
After her subordinates left, she hurriedly left the palace, holding the jade pendant.
She came to Tianyi Pavilion alone, wearing a veil.
After careful selection, she chose a piece of jade of similar quality to the black jade pendant in her hand and paid a heavy deposit.
"Use it to make a jade pendant and engrave the words 'Wooden Ghost' on it."
"Any other requests?"
"none."
She is not stupid.
As the saying goes, if you want to make a show real, even though Xu Jinghuai has been kept in the dark for a while, the palace guards have seen the jade pendant and will naturally remember its quality and the words engraved on it. They may be discovered at any time that she has used the token as a fake to stop the guards from seeking to see the emperor.
But if she prepared one that was very similar, the guards would think it was the one they had seen before, even if it came to a confrontation.
She could get away with it, too.
The most important thing now is how to delay time and how to get close to Xu Jinghuai.
He entered the Queen's Weiyang Palace in great splendor.
