The concubine is so charming

Chapter 862 Assassination
Time passed day by day, and it seemed that the Chinese New Year was about to come.

Su Yao and Chu Feiyan made good preparations and ordered people to clean up the mansion where Ning Ge lived before his death.

After Mu Qingchen finished her morning court, she came to Qifeng Palace. When she saw the side dishes prepared by Su Yao and the corresponding candles and paper money, a sigh flashed in her eyes: "At first, I thought about showing respect to the teacher. But I didn't expect..."

Su Yao lowered his head, also full of regrets in his heart: "As well as me and Feiyan, we should have come to the capital earlier. In that case, at least we can stay with the teacher and Daoist Wuchen for a longer period of time."

"elder sister……"

"It's also fortunate that the two old men are open-minded, and they didn't care about these things until they died."

Mu Qingchen helped put away the things: "Sister and brother-in-law asked people to send the coffins of the two old men to the capital. At that time, most of the people in the capital gathered in the street, and many scholars were crying bitterly, tears staining their fronts... "

Su Yao sighed silently, stepped forward and held Chu Feiyan's hand: "Master Xiang?"

Chu Feiyan raised the corners of his lips slightly, showing a faint smile: "I'm fine, the two old people hope that we will live a safe and happy life, when we go today, we should be more happy, don't cry, lest Make them worry."

"it is good."

A low-key and inconspicuous carriage left the palace and slowly headed towards Lao Ninge's mansion.

The Ning Mansion still maintains its original appearance, but the color of the plaque hanging on the door is slightly darker.

After entering the door and seeing the familiar scenery, everyone was filled with emotion.

Mu Qingchen caressed the stone table and bench in front of the study, and said with a smile: "When I first started following the teacher, I always couldn't understand my reading, and was beaten by the teacher. Daoist Wuchen came to protect me and pulled me around The stone table in front of me ran around several times."

Chu Feiyan put down his "prevention" against Mu Qingchen for the time being, and said with a chuckle, "That's not your fault for not being up to date. If you were like me, you would naturally not be punished by the teacher."

"Brother, you just stand and talk without pain in your back, you have a photographic memory, can I compare with you?"

"Although I have a photographic memory and read books very well, in the teacher's heart, I still love you the most as a junior."

Mu Qingchen was proud: "That's natural. They say that crying children have milk. This is what my sister taught me. I don't have to worry about it in front of the teacher. He will naturally take care of everything, for fear that I will intrude. It's a disaster, after a long time, you will naturally not be able to compete with me for favor."

"If the teacher hears this, he will definitely hit your palm again."

Mu Qingchen hurriedly clasped her hands together and bowed in the direction of the study: "Teacher, I was joking just now, so don't take it seriously."

Su Yao laughed from the side: "It's rare to see the two of you getting along so well."

"No!"

"no!"

Mu Qingchen and Chu Feiyan said in unison.

"This kind of tacit understanding is rarely seen." Su Yao said, while laying out delicious food and wine, suddenly, she felt a flash of light in front of her eyes, and she couldn't help but close her eyes.

"careful!"

A dark dart aimed directly at Su Yao's eyebrows.

The famous official threw his long sword from the side and sent the dark dart flying. Feng Qi had already jumped over the wall and chased after the assassin.

Chu Feiyan hurried forward to hold Su Yao in his arms: "Yaoer? How are you?"

Su Yao shook his head: "I'm fine."

Soon, Feng Qi rushed back, with a faint smell of blood on his body: "Report to the emperor, report to the prince, the person who assassinated was caught by me, and after several fights, he took poison and committed suicide."

Mu Qingchen's face was full of coldness: "Dare to do something here, you are quite courageous, let people check the surroundings to see if there are any suspicious people."

"Yes."

Chu Feiyan raised his hand to caress Su Yao's cheek: "Yao Er, why don't you go back to the palace first."

"No, the assassin can't succeed in one blow, so he must find a way to hide his whereabouts and won't make trouble again." Su Yao refused, "I agreed to pay homage to Teacher and Taoist Wuchen today, so naturally I can't break my promise."

The relaxed atmosphere was swept away, and the three of them put incense on the tablets of old Ning Ge and Taoist priest Wu Chen, saluted solemnly, and poured wine on the ground.

After the memorial ceremony, the guards who went to investigate the surroundings also rushed back: "Reporting to the emperor, there is no abnormality around."

"Sister, brother-in-law, what are your thoughts?"

Su Yao smiled lightly: "There is hatred in his heart, and the person who wants to put us to death, after all, the only one left is that Shen Jing."

"This southern Xinjiang remnant came to the capital?"

"The Huhe Tribe was wiped out wantonly, and the methods he arranged were basically useless. Moreover, Dad set up a net just to find his tracks. He can't stay any longer, and the possibility of running to Da'an Dynasty is very high. It's just that I didn't expect that he would have the guts to show up in the capital."

Chu Feiyan held Su Yao's hand. Thinking of the critical situation just now, he still felt lingering fears: "There is a huge flow of people in the capital, and he is not conspicuous as an outsider, so he can hide his identity very well. Moreover, he also controls the With the technique of controlling Gu, he can manipulate people to cover for him, making it hard for people to guard against."

"However, it seems that this person's patience is not very good, and he jumped out early today."

Mu Qingchen said coldly: "Sister, don't worry, as long as he is in the capital, I will definitely find a way to catch him."

"The New Year is coming, and the flow of people in the capital is even more chaotic. It's not easy to find someone. Could it be that you want to blockade the capital? If this happens, the people will be panicked. It's not worth it for a Shen Jing."

"My sister has a better way?"

"Shen Jing has done so much, just to kill us and disrupt the capital, so create an opportunity for him. During the Chinese New Year, there will be a banquet in the palace, and there will be a sacrifice to heaven after that. In addition, it will be held in two days Shen Jing will definitely not let go of these opportunities, let the people below keep their eyes open and stare carefully, and they will definitely be able to find clues."

"Okay, after returning to the palace, I will let someone arrange it immediately."

"Ah."

About today's assassination, Mu Qingchen ordered to keep her mouth shut, and did not let the officials in the court know.

Two days later, there was a small election in the palace, and Meng Rou was pushed out to be in charge of this matter.

"I have seen the eldest princess."

"Get up quickly." Seeing Meng Rou, Su Yao couldn't help but sigh slightly. In just a few days, Meng Rou's expression became much depressed, as if she had been hit by something, "Your complexion is not good, but you are not feeling well?"

"It's nothing, thank you, Eldest Princess, for your concern. I came here this time to ask if the Eldest Princess will send some maids to serve her here?"

"For the time being here..." Su Yao was about to refuse, but suddenly thought of something, and changed his words with a smile, "Send four people over here."

"Okay, there is another matter, I want to discuss with the eldest princess." Meng Rou said hesitantly.

"what's up?"

"I'm a bit too busy doing the small election by myself, so I want to ask Han to promise to help me. The emperor is busy with things. I went to ask for an audience twice but couldn't see anyone. I can only ask the eldest princess to make the decision."

"Han promised? Han Jin?" Su Yao frowned.

"Yes."

"I see, you can figure it out." Su Yao replied with a smile.
