Chapter 146 Inference
Seeing that the cold sword had pierced my throat, my skin could already feel the coldness of the sword tip.I looked at the sword stupidly, and was so shocked that I forgot to react. I only heard a "dang", and a stone flew from nowhere, shaking the sword away abruptly.The man in sackcloth was startled, turned his head suddenly, a silver light flashed, a bloody mouth opened on his neck, blood splashed out, the man in sackcloth went limp and fell to the ground.

I raised my head in shock, and a tall figure wearing a black hood had flashed into the battle circle besieging Yun Xun. Squeezing in, with his joining, the situation where Yun Xun was at a disadvantage immediately reversed.That bright silver light was like lightning, intertwined in the shadows of swords, lights and swords, blocking the light and shadow fragments falling on Yun Xun's body one by one, like a wind and snow blowing violently, with the momentum of thunder and lightning, flashing in between, Only a few screams were heard, and three gray shadows bounced away from the light and shadow circle for several meters, dozens of sword cuts were split all over the body, and the sackcloth on the body was immediately stained red, turning into three blood men.The three of them lay on the ground, twitching a few times, and suddenly fell silent.

There was a strong smell of blood floating in the air. I covered my mouth and nose, felt nauseated, and almost vomited acid water.Looking up, he saw that Yun Xun was also covered in blood, covered with sword wounds, and his eyes were red. After seeing those people fell to the ground, he swayed and fell straight on the ground.

"Yun Xun!" I screamed, climbed out of the car, and ran to him. The blood on his body had already soaked the ground red, as if it was flowing endlessly.With trembling hands, I turned over his body, put it under his nose, felt a faint breath, breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at the man in black with his back to me, and said in a trembling voice: "I thank the hero for saving my life." !"

His body shook slightly, and he turned his head to look at me. I saw that hideous silver mask on his face, and I was startled: "It's you?"

He walked up to Yun Xun, knelt down and picked him up, and walked towards the carriage.I followed behind him and asked, "Who are you? Why do you keep saving me?"

As if he hadn't heard of it, he put Yun Xun into the carriage, turned his head, his eyes were hidden behind the mask, I couldn't see his eyes, but I knew he was looking at me. "Get in the car!" said the ghost-faced man.His voice was hoarse like a rag, low and deep: "I'll take you back!"

"Do you know me?" I searched my mind for a long time, but I couldn't think of when I knew such a person.He turned around and sat in the driving seat, hissed, "Get in the car!"

I stopped asking who he was and climbed into the carriage.The ghost-faced man was driving fast, and I looked at his back, and felt inexplicably relieved in my heart. Although I didn't know who he was, I never suspected that he would be harmful to me.Maybe it's because he saved me in Iron Mountain County, and just saved me again, I trust my instinct, he won't harm me.

Turning my head to look at Yun Xun who was lying in the carriage, his blood stained the carriage red, I was startled and frightened, I put my hand under Yun Xun's nose from time to time, for fear that he would not be able to hold on and lose his breath.The carriage rushed back to the Hou's mansion, and the guard at the gate was shocked when he saw that the carriage was driven back by a ghost-faced man, and ran over immediately.The ghost-faced man stopped the carriage, turned his head to look at me, jumped up without saying a word.

"Hero!" I hurriedly climbed out of the car, and saw his figure moving quickly like a ghost, and disappeared outside the long street in an instant.The servant ran to the car and said in surprise, "Young Madam, what happened?"

I turned my head and hurriedly said: "Pick Yun Xun down quickly and tell Mr. Fu to treat his wounds!"

Jia Ding carried Yun Xun into the mansion, and Mr. Fu saw that he was covered in blood, so he put his finger on his wrist without changing his face, and after taking the pulse, he ordered the servant girl to prepare hot water.Yun Zheng who rushed over after hearing the sound asked, "How is it?"

"I lost a lot of blood and suffered serious internal injuries." Mr. Fu turned his head and glanced at me, "Young Madam's complexion is not very good, please stretch out your hand."

I stretched out my hand, and Mr. Fu felt my pulse and nodded: "No problem." After finishing speaking, he left me alone, picked up the scissors, and while cutting off Yun Xun's blood-soaked clothes, he said in a deep voice: " Master Zheng, take your young lady out, I will take care of it."

Yun Zheng helped me out, and I felt my body go weak: "Yun Zheng, is Yun Xun okay?"

"Mr. Fu said that he can handle it, so there shouldn't be any serious problems." Yun Zheng's face was a little ugly, "You have a bad face, are you scared?"

I thought of the scene of being assassinated just now, and then I felt a burst of fear.Back in the room, Yun Zheng asked about the situation of the assassination, his face became more and more cold, he stood up, and said softly: "You have a good rest, I will go out for a while!"

"Yunzheng!" I grabbed him and trembled, "Where are you going?"

He saw my panic and patted my hand lightly: "I'm just going to arrange things, I'll be back soon!"

"Yun Zheng!" I squeezed his hand tightly.He sighed, sat next to me, hugged me lightly, and asked Ning'er to call Tiewei in: "Yunkan, you go to the assassination site to check, and let Manager Yi go to Zhou's house and ask him to take care of Zhou's house." Auntie's funeral."

The iron guard left the room.Yun Zheng hugged me tightly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Who is going to kill me?" I leaned into his arms with lingering fear, "Is it Concubine De Gui? Or Xiang Wei?"

"It will be clear when Yun Kan comes back." Yun Zheng patted my back soothingly, "I'm sorry, I'm always not by your side when you are in danger!"

"No, I'm glad you're not by my side." I looked up at him, looking into his deep eyes, "If something happens to you, I don't know what to do."

He stared at me fixedly, with a vague pain in his eyes, after a while, his lips touched my forehead lightly, and he sighed softly: "Ye'er, what should I do with you?"

Ning'er came in with the anti-fetal medicine, after taking the medicine, tiredness struck, Yun Zheng told me to lie on the bed, I held his hand tightly, he smiled and said, "I won't go."

My heart felt warm and I fell asleep peacefully.

It was dark when I woke up again.The red candle made a slight "beep" sound in the lampshade, and there was no one around me, so I sat up in shock: "Yunzheng!"

"I'm here!" Turning his head, he saw him come in from outside the screen, sat on the side of the bed, and smiled, "Are you awake?"

"What are you doing?" I put my arms around his waist.He smiled softly, took off his shoes and got under the covers, hugging me, "I'm reading the materials sent by Deacon Yin."

"Eh? The materials from the palace 18 years ago? Have they been delivered?" I looked up in surprise, Yun Zheng nodded, and I leaned into his arms, "What did the materials say?"

"What happened in Concubine Yao's palace is the same as what we found out." Yun Zheng said indifferently, "Concubine Yao Gui in Fuyang Palace gave birth to a double-headed deformity. Concubine Yao Gui is confined to Fuyang Hall and will die in three months."

"What about Concubine Murong?" I hurriedly said, "What's the matter with Concubine Murong?"

"Concubine Murong Xian of Pinxian Palace cursed Concubine Yao Gui with the technique of witchcraft. The birth-safety charm worn by the concubine next to her was painted with curses of witchcraft and Concubine Yao's birthday. The concubine refused to plead guilty, and the late emperor was furious. He was vicious and didn't know how to repent, so he gave three feet of white silk, and the palace servants were killed with sticks, and they were strictly ordered not to tell anything about the two halls." Yun Zheng frowned and said softly.

"Witchcraft?" I frowned.Throughout history as far as I know, witchcraft seems to be taboo for all emperors.If it was discovered that any concubine or palace person used witchcraft to harm people in the palace, she would definitely die a miserable death.But is witchcraft really useful?Based on the information we have found so far, it can at least prove that Yao Guibin's teratosis and death were caused by radioactive radiation, not witchcraft. She sleeps on a jade pillow every day, and she suffers the most. It has nothing to do with witchcraft. No.

"En." Yun Zheng nodded.I remembered the information I asked Aunt Fang Ting in the palace on the day I fell into the water, and my mind suddenly cleared up: "By the way, Aunt Fang Ting said that day that Concubine Xian is weak and difficult to conceive, so after pregnancy, too Mrs. Fu made a special trip to ask for an anti-birth talisman for her, could it be that this anti-natal talisman caused the disaster?"

"It should be right." Yun Zheng said softly, "This can also explain why Murong Taifu's family was convicted. If the birth-safety talisman was sent to the palace by Murong Concubine's family, in the eyes of the late emperor It was Concubine Murong who conspired with the Taifu to kill his favorite concubine and the emperor's heir, so the late Emperor took the entire Murong family into account."

"The Taoist talisman, is it true that Concubine Xian conspired with her family?" I shook my head, "If it was her, would she put such a time bomb on her body? It could be discovered at any time, she would be so stupid Is it?"

"The first emperor didn't think that way. He would have thought that the concubine Yao has been favored for many years, and Concubine Yao enjoys the glory alone after entering the palace. Other concubines are fine, but Concubine Yao is the most unbearable, so he wants to kill Concubine Yao." Yun Zheng smiled lightly.

"The emperor's arrogance!" I said disdainfully, "He thinks that everyone revolves around him and everyone lives for him!"

"The women in the harem revolve around the emperor and live for the emperor." Yun Zheng smiled, "There is nothing wrong with the emperor thinking so, as his deep-rooted education is like this."

That’s right, I looked at the problem from the perspective of modern people, but I ignored how special the emperor is and what a special environment the palace is.

"If there is a problem with this birth-safety talisman, there is only one reason. This talisman has been replaced." I analyzed, "Only in this way can Concubine Murong be confused. That talisman was sent by her family. Gong, how can she make it clear?"

"Well, we want it, and Concubine Murong definitely wants it, so she refuses to plead guilty, but she can't find any evidence of being replaced. The late emperor will only think that she is making excuses." Yun Zheng said slowly.

"Therefore, the late Emperor was furious and condemned Concubine Murong and Murong's family. Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country was only a superficial charge instigated by the late Emperor, because Concubine Murong used witchcraft to harm Concubine Yao to give birth to a deformed fetus, which is related to the face of the royal family. It will definitely not be put on the table." The more I thought about it, the clearer my thoughts became, "The three presiding judges offended the late emperor during the trial and were demoted and exiled. The criminal evidence is doubtful, and I wanted to uphold my duties and principles, but I didn't expect that there would be such a layer of insider information, which would be tolerated by the late emperor, and innocent people would be implicated."

"That's right." Yun Zheng nodded and said with a smile, "It's so smart, you can understand it with just one click."

I smiled and gave him a blank look, then frowned: "If the truth is so, what should we do?"

"What?" Yun Zheng gently stroked the messy hair on my forehead.I sat up straight and said seriously, "If the truth is so, what should we do? We inferred these things from the Yun family's information, where can we find evidence to prove these inferences?"

Everything we say is empty words without evidence.The information on the Yun family's intelligence must not let the emperor know that the Yun family has such a powerful intelligence network, any emperor would be afraid.So, where do we go for evidence?
