Stunning Phoenix Emperor

Chapter 236

At this moment, the mutation protruded.
"Hunjun, take your life!" A red shadow flashed, and rushed towards the empress above the jade steps like an arrow.
"There are assassins!"
"Protect the Emperor!"
In an instant, there was chaos in Feng He Xuan.
"Ruoshui, escort." Su Hanxiao froze for a moment, and hurriedly said.
"Wow!" The table in front of the queen was overturned, but finally the two guards behind her arrived in time.
Queen Feng stood in front calmly. Although she had no weapon, she secretly buckled a sharp golden hairpin in her sleeve. On the other side, Mr. Rong Gui, who was frightened, remained motionless.
After being blocked by two guards, Mei Ruoshui had already intercepted the assassin.
Ji Li's face below is ashen, and her body is cold. The dancer she sent unexpectedly hides the assassin who assassinated Empress Dayong. This... It's fine if she loses her own life. I'm afraid that even the prince and even Nanchu will be implicated. .
Su Hanxiao quickly saw the expressions of all the people in the palace, and the guards who were rushing down surrounded the empress with a livid face.
The banquet tonight is indeed quite lively!
"It's so unreasonable!" The empress looked angry, and with a wave of her sleeves, she swept all the tea sets on the table to the ground and smashed them to pieces.
In front of the desk, Su Hanxiao's three sisters stood with their heads lowered, all looking attentively at each other.
"Tell me, what's going on!" the queen said angrily.
"Emperor Mother..." It was Su Hanyou who stood up first, after all, she was the one who wanted to marry Nan Chu, "I thought to myself, Nan Chu should have no reason to assassinate Empress Mother at this time, and she is still so relentless." Cover up, unless they want to destroy the country."
"Of course I know!" The queen slapped the table heavily, and snorted, "I thought that Ji Li was smart, but I didn't expect to be able to do such a bastard thing as being sneaked into the mission by an assassin, really damn it!"
"Mother, calm down." Su Hanxiao coughed dryly twice, "After all, the assassin has already been caught, interrogation may have results."
"Fortunately, Ruoshui is here." The queen's furious face gradually eased after hearing this, and she added, "The two guards who blocked the assassin first will also be rewarded."
"Observe the order." Ling Xuan replied from the side.
"Your Majesty Qizuo, please see Mr. Mei of the East Palace." At this moment, the servant outside the door said softly.
"Xuan." The queen took a deep breath and sat down again.
Mei Ruoshui walked in, still wearing the purple palace attire she wore when she attended the banquet, but her face was a bit ugly.
"There is no need to be too polite." The queen waved her hand to stop him from bowing down, and said, "How is the assassin?"
"Dead." Mei Ruoshui said with a wry smile.
"Dead?" the queen asked in surprise.
"Ruoshui immediately removed the assassin's jaw and limb joints to prevent him from committing suicide, but he didn't expect that he would take the chronic poison beforehand. It seems that no matter whether the assassination was successful or not, he didn't intend to leave alive. "Mei Ruoshui said regretfully.
"It's not your fault." The queen couldn't help but sighed after hearing this, and said after thinking, "Where's the assassin's accomplice?"
"The other three Nanchu dancers all denied it even under heavy punishment. It seems that they really don't know." Mei Ruoshui shook her head and said, "Regarding the origins of these dancers, Mr. Zhao from the Ministry of Punishment is discussing with the envoys. If you communicate with Master Ji Li and send people to follow the clues to investigate, it may take a few days before there is a conclusion."
"That's all." The Queen frowned and said, "Since the poison was taken before the assassination, if you are so decisive, I'm afraid you won't find anything useful if you follow the line."
"Empress, I have to try." Su Han said with a smile, "Wise men may make mistakes, maybe...they may leave some clues inadvertently."
"Yes." The queen rubbed her forehead.
"Is the mother all right?" Su Hanxiang also asked worriedly.
"It's okay, I'm a little tired, let's all go down." The queen waved her hand wearily.
"My son, leave." The three sisters looked at each other and retreated gently, but Su Hanxiang's eyes were full of mockery and gloating.
Su Hanxiao knew what was on her mind. This time, she was the person responsible for welcoming the mission, and Su Hanyou was the target of the marriage. Only Su Hanxiang stayed out of the matter. She could stand aside and watch the scene of the assassination tonight. Add fuel to the flames at the right time, but drinking Su Hanyou by himself is destined to be unable to escape.
"Ruoshui stay for a while." The queen said suddenly.
Mei Ruoshui, who was walking at the end, froze for a moment, nodded slightly to Su Hanxiao who was beside her, and then stopped.
Su Hanxiao frowned calmly, although he exited the door, he did not leave, but waited in the courtyard.
"Sister Huang also rested earlier." Su Hanyou didn't stay long, and hurried away surrounded by guards.
Su Hanxiao understood that she had to go back to the house immediately to prepare for tomorrow's countermeasures, and looked at Su Hanxiang who couldn't hide her complacency, and shook her head secretly.
Even if she got a big deal, she would be too impatient. It is true that Jiangshan is easy to change and her nature is hard to change. I thought she would become smarter after going through the three southwestern provinces and Jiange's training.
Mei Ruoshui didn't stay in the imperial study for a long time, she came out accompanied by Ling Xuan after a while, and saw Su Hanxiao who was still standing in the courtyard, she couldn't help but hurried a few steps, and said in a low voice: "The wind is cold and the dew is heavy, why don't you?" Won't you go back first?"
"Emperor Mother is also tired today, and won't stay with you for long." Su Hanxiao took his hand naturally, nodded to Ling Xuan again, and then returned to the East Palace.
Because of the assassination at the banquet, the empress specially ordered a large number of guards to escort the three empresses.
Both Su Hanxiao and Mei Ruoshui knew that there were too many eyes and ears, and it was not the time to speak, so they walked back to the East Palace in silence.
