Chapter 190 Long Blessed Lord (20)
Yan Gui's cute face showed a bit of panic, and he explained in a low voice: "I...I didn't mean it."
Lush branches and leaves surrounded him. The young man raised his eyes slightly, and his graceful neck and collarbone were clearly visible.
The light and shadow falling from the tree crowns were intertwined in his pupils, adding a different kind of dream to the dead silence.
He met Chu Zheng's cold and indifferent eyes and was slightly stunned.
The next second, the young man suddenly came forward and pressed his lips against Chu Zheng's.
The breeze blew, the tree crown rustled softly, and the light and shadow moved between the two people.
The boy only pressed against her for a few seconds and soon let go.
He leaned back, and the leaves made a slight sound.
Fortunately, there was wind at this time and no one noticed the noise upstairs.
"I..." There were wisps of blush on Yan Gui's pale face, and the tips of her ears were red.
Before he finished speaking, Chuzheng pulled him back, put his arms around his waist, and kissed him back.
Yan Gui's eyes widened slightly.
When Yan Gui came to his senses, he was already standing on the ground, and Chu Zheng was holding his hand and walking towards his palace.
The girl looked calm, as if her kissing her just now was an illusion.
But Yan Gui knew that it was not an illusion.
"go in."
Without saying a word, Yan Gui pulled his hand back and quickly entered the bedroom.
Until he was sure that Chu Zheng couldn't see him, the young man's cautious and obedient expression softened slightly, revealing a faint smile, and lightly rubbed his lips with his fingertips.
"Your Highness, where have you been?"
Xiao Guizi appeared out of nowhere.
The corners of Yan Gui's mouth flattened back to the usual curve, and he said slowly: "Go out and get some fresh air. What's wrong?"
"There is an assassin in the palace." Xiao Guizi looked at Yan Gui very nervously, fearing that his prince would bump into him somewhere: "You haven't met him, have you?"
Yan Gui shook his head.
"That's good. Please don't go out again. The palace is under martial law now."
"Um."
-
There was an assassin in the palace who stabbed the emperor's new favorite concubine. The entire palace was under martial law and every palace was subject to inspection.
When Chuzheng returned to the palace, the imperial guards happened to check here.
Of course nothing was found in the end, but people in the palace were panicked.
Cheng Xiao was unconscious. Although the injury was not serious, it was related to the emperor's face.
The emperor was furious and ordered the assassin to be caught.
Cheng Xiao woke up in the evening.
The identification was done by Chu Zheng.
Chuzheng was called for questioning.
Cheng Xiao was lying on the bed with a pale face, his forehead and arms were wrapped with gauze, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, he was pitiful and pitiful.
"Cheng Chuzheng, my beloved concubine said you stabbed her, is that true?" The emperor sat majestically next to Cheng Xiao, his face dark and sullen.
Chuzheng was very calm: "No."
"Sister, you said you had something to tell me, and I agreed to see you. I didn't expect you to treat me like this..."
Cheng Xiao complained with a cry.
That's a pitiful thing.
"I haven't seen you today."
What Chu Zheng said was so frank. If Cheng Xiao was not the person involved, she might have believed it.
The emperor looked at Chu Zheng with half-squinted eyes.
He had never taken a closer look at this rich lady from Prince Cheng's Mansion before.
At a glance now, he seems to be more magnanimous than Cheng Xiao.
This reminded the emperor of Cheng Wang, the man who was always against him.
"Your Majesty, the person who stabbed me used scissors. If it was an assassin, why did he use scissors? Your Majesty, please look carefully!"
Cheng Xiao struggled and knelt on the bed, asking the emperor for justice.
The emperor quickly asked her to lie back and whispered a few words of comfort to her.
"Cheng Chuzheng, what do you have to explain?"
"You have to ask the assassin what weapons the assassin uses. I'm not the assassin. I don't know."
Cheng Xiao's eyes turned red: "Your Majesty, I still have witnesses. The eunuchs in my palace can testify."
The emperor said solemnly: "Pass it!"
The eunuch came with his head lowered all the way, and was so frightened that he knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty."
Emperor: "Is Cheng Chuzheng that assassin?"
The eunuch replied tremblingly: "No... no, the assassin is masked and is a man..."
"You're talking nonsense!" Cheng Xiao interrupted the eunuch excitedly: "It's obviously her, why are you talking nonsense? Your Majesty, he is lying!!"
This is her person.
How could you say such a thing! ?
"Your Majesty, I don't dare. What I said is true..."
The eunuch was lying on the ground, kowtowing.
Cheng Xiao was so angry that he smashed the pillow off the bed.
"Why are you lying? Have you been bribed by her?"
"I don't have it, I don't dare to..."
Chuzheng insisted that she had not seen Cheng Xiao.
Anyway, since Cheng Xiao couldn't produce any evidence, she was just slandering herself and she wouldn't admit it.
The emperor frowned, wondering what he was thinking about.
"Assassin! There is an assassin!!!"
Suddenly there was a shout outside.
Then there was a burst of chaos, and the sound of fighting came from far away. The emperor stood up and walked to the palace gate, guarded by the imperial guards, to watch the battle outside.
The assassin's martial arts skills were excellent, and he was not at a disadvantage even under the siege of the imperial guards. In the end, he even ran away.
"Chase!" the emperor ordered with a gloomy face: "You want to see the person alive, you want to see the corpse if you die."
"Send Miss Cheng back." The emperor turned around and said again.
Cheng Xiao was completely stunned.
"His Majesty!"
"My beloved, take good care of your injuries."
The emperor followed the imperial guards and left without looking back.
Cheng Xiao's chest rose and fell greatly, and he called to your majesty unwillingly.
Chuzheng flicked her sleeves and followed the eunuch away calmly and calmly.
"Cheng Chuzheng!"
Cheng Xiao threw everything he could, his pretty face full of twisted hatred.
how come……
That eunuch!
When Cheng Xiao remembered the eunuch, he had disappeared.
She was the only one left in the entire palace.
-
At night.
The entire palace is still under martial law.
The thin young man sat by the window, leaning his chin and looking at the darkness outside the palace.
There was a slight crackling sound behind him.
"master."
The masked man in black knelt on the ground, bowing his head and obeying the order.
The young man put down the hand holding his chin, turned his light brown eyes, reflected in the candlelight in the hall, and his light brown pupils were tinged with a faint warm light.
Her black hair was untied and spread behind her, blowing slightly in the wind.
The skirt of the clothes is slightly open, and the beautiful collarbone can be vaguely glimpsed, and the arc extending to the bottom of the skirt is arousing people's imagination.
"No one discovered it?"
The young man's gentle voice circulated in the hall.
The night wind blew in outside the window, the candlelight swayed slightly, and the boy's shadow also swayed, swaying like a rootless duckweed in the wind and rain.
The atmosphere in the hall was inexplicably depressing and heavy.
"Master, don't worry, I didn't fight them." The man in black replied respectfully.
After a pause, the man in black said again: "This subordinate doesn't understand."
The young man seemed to know what he was going to ask. The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and the arc was so slight that no one could see it. He raised his index finger and placed it on his bright red lips.
The man in black knew that he was overstepping his bounds and this was not the question he should ask.
All he has to do is carry out his master's orders.
"Go down."
"yes."
The man in black retreated respectfully.
The young man's white fingertips passed across his lips, looking at the flickering candlelight.
The night wind suddenly picked up, the candlelight suddenly went out, and the room fell into darkness.
