Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 425 Assassination
With the few people left behind, Su Qinghan returned to the courtyard, and they split up to gather the assassin's body in one place and examine it carefully.

"General, these people's bodies are very clean, and there are no clues." After looking at them, a guard got up and reported back to Su Qinghan.

"Check their weapons." After a moment of silence, Su Qinghan said. He had noticed before that the people who came to assassinate were using big knives. In his impression, only people from Chu State liked to use knives.

"General, the craftsmanship of this knife is good, but it's a pity that it's not our Xing'an craftsmanship." The person who said this was Lu Xing, the person next to Su Qinghan who knew the most about weapons. He came to Su Qinghan with a knife in his hand. In front of him, I told him about the knife in detail.

"Which country?" After listening to Lu Xing talking a lot, Su Qinghan interrupted him and asked him.

"Chu State, the craftsmanship of this knife is definitely Chu State!" Hearing the impatience in Su Qinghan's words, Lu Xing hurriedly opened his mouth to answer Su Qinghan's question.

"Well, put it away, and deal with the rest." Nodding his head, Su Qinghan turned and walked towards the main hall.

When he returned to the main hall, the guards who had left before had already returned. Looking at their appearance, Su Qinghan understood that the deputy general should have been killed.

"No one survived, these assassins are really ruthless." Looking at Su Qinghan, the guard Xue Gang said, his eyes were a little red, because there was a young child in the mansion of the deputy general.

"It's from the state of Chu. Send out good scouts. After dawn, carefully investigate all the places near the Southwest Border Pass. I suspect that the soldiers and horses of Chu State have already arrived outside the Southwest Border Pass."

After listening to Xue Gang's words, Su Qinghan's expression was not good. He gave Xue Gang some instructions, and then walked towards the outside of the general's mansion.

"General, what are you doing?" At this time, Su Qinghan was leaving the mansion, and everyone naturally wanted to ask a few questions.

"Go and collect the corpse for the deputy general's family." After replying, Su Qinghan walked towards the outside of the mansion without stopping, and the guards hurriedly followed to help Su Qinghan.

"General, it seems that the Qing Kingdom has no intention of retreating?" Early in the morning, as soon as Shen Hao got up, Yan Xu came to the General's Mansion. He went to the city wall in the morning and listened to the scouts' reports. He always felt that the Qing Kingdom's army did not want to Retire at this point.

"Where's the food and grass?" After hearing Yan Xu's reply, Shen Hao asked. He didn't want to retreat, but it could only mean that they still had a plan.

"The grain and grass were indeed burned. The general suspects that they still have a plan. Could it be that the Qing Kingdom sent someone here?" With doubts on his face, Yan Xu looked at Shen Hao, "What does the general think?"

"Keep watching, maybe there is no further move. If the food and grass are indeed burned, then they should retreat." Without food, let alone fighting, even going back is a problem.

"Yes." In response, Yan Xu backed out, and Shen Hao sat on the chair, thinking about what Yan Xu said, frowning tightly.

"Zixuan, after dinner, go to Shanglefang and ask the palace servants from Shanglefang to come over at noon." After waking up early, Su Qingyan looked at Zixuan and gave instructions.

"Yes." In response, Zixuan continued to make Su Qingyan's bed, her face was filled with anticipation. She had heard before that Shanglefang had released some new gadgets, which were very beautiful.

After everything was tidied up, Su Qingyan came out from the inner room, and after breakfast, she leaned on the soft bed to read a book.

Zixuan went to Shanglefang and conveyed Su Qingyan's order. At noon, the palace servants from Shanglefang would come to Guanju Palace.

Not only Zixuan was looking forward to Shanglefang's new gadgets, but the other palace officials of Guanju Palace couldn't help looking forward to it after they knew about it. They also wanted to see Shanglefang's new gadgets.

Before lunch, the palace servants from Shanglefang came to Guanju Palace. Su Qingyan sat on the rug and watched them perform juggling.

Knowing that everyone was looking forward to it, Su Qingyan specially let Zisu, Ziyan, Xiao Fuzi and others enter the palace to watch the palace people from Shanglefang perform juggling.

Seeing the palace servants of Shanglefang playing tricks one by one, everyone couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

Eating the fruit and watching the juggling, Su Qingyan had a smile on her face and was in a very happy mood.

"I would like to report to the imperial concubine, the servants have rehearsed a new play recently, would you like to take a look?" After a performance, a voice from the palace came, hearing that there was a new play, Su Qingyan naturally would not miss it , she nodded and responded with a smile.

Seeing Su Qingyan responding, a light flashed in the eyes of the little eunuch who had reported earlier, but he lowered his head, so no one noticed.

The jugglers continued to perform, and everyone's attention was focused on the jugglers in the hall.

Su Qingyan was sitting not too far away from the palace people of Shanglefang. After all, if it was too far away, it would be inconvenient to watch.

"Attention, everyone!" Suddenly, the little eunuch who had reported earlier spoke up, and focused everyone's attention on them.

Just as everyone was concentrating on waiting to watch the performance, a figure jumped out from among the palace people and rushed towards Su Qingyan.

Everyone's attention was on the performer, and when something like this happened suddenly, they couldn't react and could only watch helplessly as someone rushed towards Su Qingyan.

Staring blankly at the person rushing towards her, Su Qingyan subconsciously protected her stomach, trying to avoid it, but her body refused to obey.

"Ah Qing, be careful!" A familiar voice came, and something slammed towards the person who attacked Su Qingyan. When he was hit, the assailant couldn't help but pause. Taking this opportunity, Su Qingyan hurriedly stood up. He got up, and walked towards Nanny Jin and the others with weak hands and feet.

At this moment, Nanny Jin and the others finally came to their senses, they quickly protected Su Qingyan in the middle, and Xiao Fuzi quickly ran to the outside of the hall, calling for the guards of Guanju Palace to come in and arrest the assassin.

The person who appeared was none other than Emperor Jing. Speaking of which, he also wanted to visit Guanju Palace on a whim. Unexpectedly, he caught up with such a thrilling scene.

Seeing the assailant rush towards Su Qingyan again, Emperor Jing took a few steps forward and kicked the little eunuch. Unexpectedly, the little eunuch was very skilled and avoided it.

Su Qingyan stood behind Nanny Jin and the others, watching Emperor Jing fight with the young eunuch, feeling very worried. After all, Emperor Jing didn't have a weapon in his hand.

"Come on! Catch the assassin!" Panting, Kang Ninghai came in from outside the hall, and when he saw the scene in the hall, he was almost frightened out of his wits. He shouted and ran towards Emperor Jing without stopping.

The guards rushed in from outside the hall, and the little eunuch was finally captured by the guards. Emperor Jing turned his head to look at Su Qingyan, and seeing her pale face, he quickly walked towards her...
