Chapter 43 The Assassin in the Palace
She didn't leave the palace today, but Princess Anfeng came to find her.
Yuan Qingling remembered the shadow she saw in the Fourth Master’s mansion last night. She knew that she was not dazzled, perhaps, Princess Anfeng, who came back many years later, to see the people she cared about.
After asking the princess to sit in the main hall and serve the refreshments, the princess said her purpose, "We are going back tomorrow. Do you have anything to hand over to me, or do you have to take me back?"
"You want to go back?"
Yuan Qingling was stunned for a moment, didn’t she say she wanted to stay here?
"Something is wrong. I'll come back."
The princess said.
"oh!"
Yuan Qingling was a little relieved. If he really went back or didn’t come back, wouldn’t the old man be angry to death?
"You may ask Lao Wu if you want to bring a message to the children. I heard from your uncle that they talked and chatted last night. Lao Wu always talked about the children, and it was probably because he missed him."
"Okay, I'll turn around and ask him when will you go back?
What are you going to do?"
"Take Chu Xiaowu back for a checkup. After going back last night, I called for a headache. After asking carefully, I realized that he always felt headaches recently. In fact, he should have gone back for a checkup. I discussed it with your grandmother, and she also suggested that it would be better to go back for a checkup, so don't delay, go immediately."
The princess said.
"What a headache?
Is it important?”
Yuan Qingling became nervous.
The princess said: "Just be careful of something bad, so go for a checkup as soon as possible, and you can treat it immediately if you know the problem."
Yuan Qingling nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, that's OK, the prime minister will ask you, thank you."
The princess glanced at her, "I'm really not used to you saying these words to me. My child who was a child since I was a child... for nothing, it's not true, after all, I've been absent."
Yuan Qingling could see that the princess had some regrets, and this regret was that she had not been with them all the time.
But no matter what, I am spending my old age together now.
Yuan Qingling asked, "Will the Supreme Emperor and Xiaoyao Duke go?"
The princess said: "As soon as they heard that they were going to take Chu Xiaowu to check, they had packed up their things immediately."
Yuan Qingling laughed, yes, it was agreed that the old guy would advance and retreat together, so he naturally had to accompany him.
When Lao Wu came back for lunch, Yuan Qingling mentioned to him the princess was going back and asked him what he had to bring to the children.
Yu Wenhao naturally had thousands of words, but when he wrote it down, he just told him to study hard, not to cause trouble, and not to miss his family and father too much. Then, the things that followed were filled with the matters of his sister, so that the letter would not seem to be too small.
After writing the letter, he asked Gu Si to take it out to the princess himself.
The next day, the princess and the others set off for Jinghu.
Three days later, the letter was delivered to the children, and the children rushed to read it, especially the passage of my sister. I read it several times, but I missed my sister.
However, Baozi finally sniffed, "Dad said we don't have to miss him too much. We didn't think of him. Daddy was used to being self-indulgent."
Tangyuan held his chin, "I miss my sister."
When Tangyuan said this, my brothers and others held their chins. Yes, I miss my sister so much. It would be great if my sister was here.
The princess took the chief minister to conduct a review. The Supreme Emperor and Xiaoyao Duke still lived in the original building, helping to take some children, or occasionally going to Master Hui to fulfill his filial piety.
In the Northern Tang Dynasty, Lu Yuan and Xiao Hongchen had already gone to Fengdu City. When they took office, they had a series of resolute suppression. The suppression was indeed very effective, but it caused some remnants to escape and head straight to the capital.
After all, Lu Yuan was a new official, and he was not as familiar with the terrain as Yan Zhiyu's loyal master. They also had certain connections in Fengdu City. After escaping, Lu Yuan received the news that he was worried that they would go to Beijing to assassinate the emperor, so he immediately sent a letter to Beijing.
Yuwenhao received a letter from Fei Ge, and issued an order to strictly investigate those who came to Beijing and set up a checkpoint at the city gate. Anyone who came to Beijing from other places or who came from Fengdu City would be strictly investigated.
Yu Wenhao was still a little worried. According to the Fourth Master, many of the people who came to attend Yan Zhiyu's birthday party that day were from martial arts. These people did not protect Yan Zhiyu that day, probably because they did not expect the matter to be so serious. Later, something happened to Yan Zhiyu, and Fengdu City was immediately controlled by Prince Anfeng. They had no choice for a while.
But after all, he has received the favor of Yan Zhiyu for a long time. The so-called loyalty in the martial arts world may not avenge Yan Zhiyu. In particular, Yan Zhiyu's loyal subordinates have not been arrested, which is ultimately a hidden danger.
The biggest reason why Yu Wenhao was so worried was that Lao Yuan always had to leave the palace and went to the medical department, and he always didn't like to bring people around him. If he was assassinated, Lao Yuan's martial arts would be so unsatisfactory, and something might happen.
Therefore, after making a strict investigation, Xu Yi and Gu Si were asked to accompany Yuan Qingling into and out of the palace to prevent the enemy from attacking him.
In fact, he vaguely knew that his wife was different from the past, but he was used to seeing her past flirting skills and never sent a few people to protect her, so he could not feel at ease.
Yuan Qingling naturally did not object, he just wanted peace of mind.
There are always loopholes in the screening of the city gate. After all, the other party disguises himself as someone and what he has obtained. The city gate and Jingzhao Mansion know nothing, so she also asked Leng’s house to strengthen its defense, for fear that someone would be unfavorable to Leng.
After a few days of going in and out, it was calm. Yu Wenhao did not take it lightly, and he still asked someone to continue to follow Yuan Qingling.
He actually wanted Lao Yuan not to go out, but the refining of medicines in the Medical Department was also at a critical moment. Lao Yuan would definitely not agree not to go out for the time being, so just need to strengthen the defense secretly.
However, the enemy's purpose is not on Empress Yuan Qingling, but on Emperor Yuwen Hao.
That night, several assassins sneaked into the palace and entered the Xiaoyue Palace. The imperial guards and the assassins started fighting. Yuwenhao and Yuan Qingling were also awakened. Yuwenhao was dressed in and stood up. Madam Mu Ru quickly stepped in, "Emperor, there are assassins who have crept in, but there are not many people. The imperial guards will take the assassins down. Please rest assured, the emperor."
Yu Wenhao frowned, "I don't know why I entered Xiaoyue Palace?"
"The enemy's light skills are so good. It's late at night again. The imperial guards didn't notice it for a while. Please forgive me."
Madam Mu Ru knelt down on one knee and said.
"Is there anyone guarding the princess?"
Mr. Mu Ru said justice: "Prince, please rest assured. The assassin has never been there. After Gu Si found the assassin, he immediately sent someone to guard it. The princess will be fine. Moreover, these assassins are only very skilled in light skills. The old slave saw that Lord Gu had almost controlled it."
Yuwen Hao's eyes were darker, "Send the order to keep a living, I will personally examine it!"
The palace is strictly guarded and there are people patrolling from all directions. It is not easy for an assassin to come in unless someone deliberately makes a loophole and puts the assassin in.
Yuan Qingling also came over in her clothes and said, "I'll go to Guagua to have a look."
"Okay, I'll go there with you!"
Yuwen Hao said.
The couple quickly walked towards Guagua's room under the corridor, and saw more than ten imperial guards guarding the door, and the snow wolf and tigers were also there. When the imperial guards saw them coming, they hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
“Is there any movement inside?
Did you wake up the princess?”
Yu Wenhao asked anxiously.
