Chapter 128 Chapter 128
"There are assassins! Come and escort them!"

The scene became chaotic for a while, the queen mother was guarded by the maids, and fled in a panic with a high-pitched voice.

Those assassins who sneaked into the dancer girl were like cunning beasts, biting the queen mother's figure and relentlessly chasing after them. They were about to catch up with the little girl, but suddenly they heard the immature but heroic voice of the sixth prince.

"Don't be afraid, Grandmother, I'll save you!"

Perhaps the Sixth Prince had just arrived in Wei today, and the assassin didn't know his background. The assassin responsible for strangling him wasn't too skilled in martial arts.

The sixth prince directly kicked the entire table, trying to separate the other party, but it was too late, the nearest assassin had already raised his dagger at the Queen Mother!

It was too late to say, at that time, the sixth prince flew forward without even thinking about it.

He just used his body to protect the queen mother behind him.

The queen mother, who had already been frightened by the assassin and flustered, was immediately moved when she saw her grandson, whom she had never met, wanting to protect her regardless of safety.

She had even made a decision at that time, if the sixth prince survived the assassination this time, she would be willing to abandon the previous suspicions for him this time.

The dagger that was about to be touched was close in front of her eyes, and the Queen Mother could even imagine the scene of the dagger piercing into the sixth prince's body, and the scene of blood flying everywhere.

But at this critical moment, the queen mother who was being protected saw the assassin who was about to go down with hesitation in her eyes.

The dagger that was supposed to be pierced directly at the back of the heart paused almost undetectably, and then stabbed towards the arm that was close to the heart.

After one blow, the assassin took advantage of the moment when the sixth prince was in pain, and kicked him away. This time, it was obvious that no one would come to rescue her.

"Dang--"

The sound of the dagger falling to the ground was clear and loud. The queen mother saw the assassin who had missed the murder just now, but now she stared at her chest in disbelief.

A long knife passed behind her.

The assassin looked back with difficulty, and saw that it was indeed Liu Yuan with cold eyes.

Seeing the assassination fail.

The remaining assassins whistled, only to hear a few loud explosions of "bang".

A burst of glaring white smoke lit up with the sky-high flames, and the pungent smell filled the whole senses. When everyone reacted by covering their mouths and noses and rubbing their teary eyes, the assassins disappeared completely.

The sixth prince clasped his arms and stared blankly at the smoke that had not completely dissipated, his eyes were filled with astonishment.

"Sixth brother looks so surprised."

Hearing the third prince's malicious voice, the sixth prince hastily lowered his eyes to hide his astonishment.

His mood was so weird that Liu Yuan couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

"How did you get hurt like this?"

Ji Xuewei, who was a step behind, saw the injured sixth prince as soon as she ran over. She covered the sixth prince's wound with a handkerchief distressedly, "You bleed a lot, does it hurt?"

The sixth prince only looked in the direction of the Queen Mother worriedly, "I'm fine, is the Queen Mother okay?"

Just now he stepped forward to save the Empress Dowager. Although he couldn't say how true or false this kindness was, it was a fact that he saved the Empress Dowager.

Not to mention that the Queen Mother may regard him as a relative in the future, as long as she doesn't reject him like she did at the beginning, the injury this time will be worth it.

But the Sixth Prince never expected that the Empress Dowager who was rescued by her would have cold eyes and piercing eyes, "Ji Xiuyu, you are really good at acting!"

The sixth prince was slightly taken aback, "Queen...what do you mean by that?"

He looked around suspiciously, "You mean, the mastermind of this assassination is... me?"

This is really the biggest joke in the world.

Not to mention that this assassination had nothing to do with him, even if it did, he couldn't let others see the slightest flaw.

Facing the queen mother's framing, the sixth prince explained innocently and pitifully, "Is there some misunderstanding? Today is my first time in Beijing, so how could I plan such a big assassination in advance?"

"and……"

The sixth prince explained, "It was me just now..."

"Why don't you say that you are really good at planning!"

The empress dowager's hair was in a messy bun, her face was pale, and the finely decorated makeup was all in a ball, "Isn't this the effect you want? You led such an assassination, isn't it just to get rid of me! Get rid of me, the only one in the imperial city!" A stumbling block that prevents you from stepping into the city gate!"

"You are really vicious. Seeing that there is someone protecting Ai's family, you just pounce on him and play tricks, but you haven't figured it out. Which assassin hesitated when facing the familiar you!"

The queen mother was unwilling to give the sixth prince a chance, "Come here! Detain me with this ulterior motive!"

The sixth prince really panicked this time, he looked at Liu Yuan as if asking for help, "Teacher believes me, this disciple is innocent."

"I'm afraid Young Master Liu won't be able to help you this time."

Prince Xiaozhong, who was at the side, said slowly, without him needing to make a sound, the imperial doctor had spontaneously cleaned up his wounds.

He sat on the ground, and what fell in front of him was the dead body of the assassin, with blood stains all over his body, most of which were not his, but even so, the Queen Mother was terrified.

Because of this, he became even more resentful towards the sixth prince, "You bastard with evil intentions should have drowned you with your own hands when you were taken to Zhao Kingdom!"

The sixth prince really wanted to cry, but he explained everything, but no one was willing to believe him, "Master, don't even you believe me?"

In the end, he could only look at Liu Yuan, wanting him to save himself.

However, Liu Yuan didn't make a sound.

That moment was not long, the sixth prince quickly went through it in his mind, from the beginning to the end of the whole process, there must be something that he ignored, otherwise, Liu Yuan would not have allowed him to be framed.

what exactly is it.

"Let you be a fool."

Prince Xiaozhong snorted coldly at the side, he pulled out the long knife from the corpse and picked it vigorously, and saw something wrapped in red thread being picked and dropped in front of the sixth prince.

It was a copper coin worn by a red thread and tied around the ankle.

The moment he saw the copper coin, the expression of the sixth prince changed suddenly.

"This..." No wonder, no wonder!
Ji Xuewei was puzzled, "What's the point? It's just a copper coin. Didn't Da Wei also have the custom of parents taking copper coins and tying red strings around their ankles for fear of their children's lives?"

She really couldn't understand how this mere copper coin became the evidence to convict the sixth prince.

"Look again, there must be something to prove my brother's innocence."

But the dancing girl in the dance clothes couldn't hold more useful things on her body.

Ji Xuewei became more and more anxious, "If you investigate carefully, how could my brother..."

The sixth prince on the side smiled wryly and pressed Ji Xuewei who was begging for him.

"It's useless."

For a moment, the sixth prince couldn't tell what he was feeling in his heart.

He was actually defeated by a copper coin from Zhao Kingdom.

This mere copper coin turned out to be the key evidence for his conviction.

When he was escorted down, he looked back at the faces with different expressions behind him.Who is it?
Who is setting up the situation for him!
One by one, one by one, since he entered the imperial city, no, maybe earlier, he had already stepped into the poisonous net viciously and meticulously.

Design him, design Liu Yuan, even design everyone.

This person... is really a very subtle method.

The corner of the sixth prince's mouth secretly pulled out a smile.

"Don't let me find you, or...heh..."
