I am Feng Jun

Chapter 513. Chapter 513.
Shen Ci was assassinated at dusk, and now it is night.

Everyone in Yaochi Hall returned to their original seats, and the atmosphere in the hall was quiet and eerie.

No one dared to leave without the queen speaking.

Everyone is waiting for the result.

At the exact time of Xu Shi, Song Chang escorted several people back to Yaochi Hall.

"came back?"

Mu Lianya's voice was deep and cold, covering Song Chang's body.

"The assassin's surname is very good. I can tell you where he is and when he entered the palace!"

"Yes, back to Your Majesty, his name is Li You, he is the Secretary of Shangshi Bureau, he entered the palace five years ago, he has no relatives at home, and no friends in the palace."

"Is this what you found out?"

Mu Lianya's anger floating on the surface made her gasp for breath.

Song Chang swallowed, and a drop of cold sweat fell from his temples.

"Returning to Your Majesty, that's not the case. I searched the entire palace, but unexpectedly found Li You's body in Longting Lake."

"what?"

"The assassin must have assumed the identity of Li You, sneaked into the palace, and carried out the assassination!"

Song Chang replied loudly.

"The minister checked Li You's body and found that he was murdered this morning, and the time when the assassin sneaked in was just before that.

The minister checked the guards of the imperial city during that time, and there was no abnormality in other directions.

Only the guards at the small palace gate on the northwest side had a gap for a period of time due to dereliction of duty.

The assassin took advantage of this spare time to sneak into the palace, assassinate him in Longting Lake, and throw his body at the bottom of the lake.

Then he changed his appearance into Li You's appearance, mixed into the team of palace servants who were delivering wine from Si Yunsi, entered the Yaochi Palace, and assassinated the Second Young Master Shen! "

The guards at the small gate escorted by Song Chang knelt on the ground and shivered.

How could they have imagined that there would be an assassin mixed in just by being lazy for a while!
"Okay, okay! This is how you guard my palace!"

Mu Lianya threw a silver cup over the forehead of the guard who was kneeling in front.

"Your Majesty spare your life, Your Majesty spare your life!"

"Forgive me, Shen Ci hasn't woken up yet, you dare to ask me to spare my life? Drag it out and kill it immediately!"

"His Majesty!"

Even Lu Fengyuan couldn't help frowning and tried to dissuade him.

"Today is your birthday, so it's not appropriate to go to war."

Mu Lianya's anger still persisted.

"Birthday? They gave me such a big gift? It's really good!"

"His Majesty."

"Then let's drag it on and kill it later! Song Chang, continue to investigate! Who is the assassin, what are his intentions, and why did he slander Jiang Ni! Let me investigate clearly!"

"Yes, I obey the order."

Song Chang's men dragged down the guards who neglected their duties, and the howling sound spread all the way from the front of the hall to the gate of the hall.

It doesn't disappear completely until very far away.

The atmosphere in the hall was more dignified than before.

"Your Majesty, please appease your anger, it hurts you too much."

Lu Fengyuan offered a cup of tea.

Mu Lianya took the teacup, but didn't drink it, but placed it on the table in front of her suddenly.

I can't get over my anger.

"You dare to assassinate me at my birthday banquet, how can you let me appease my anger!"

Lu Fengyuan sighed.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night, do you think you should let the ministers go home?"

"How about we go to Xi'er to see Shen Ci too?"

Mu Lianya sat on the dragon chair with some gloom, looked at A Liang at her feet, and glanced at everyone in the hall.

At present, the clues are all pointing to the people in Jiang Hu, and it is of no use to keep these courtiers and officials.

Seeing that they all looked terrified and tired, Mu Lianya waved her hand impatiently.

"It's all gone!"

Then he looked at Lu Fengyuan again.

"You take Ah Liang back to Fengwu Palace first, and Xiangchen and Shen will go to the East Palace!"

"Yes, my servant obeys the order."

As soon as the words fell, Mu Lianya walked out of the hall first, followed by Shen Yinchu, aiming directly at the East Palace.

Qing Le was worried, and sent many people to guard behind the two, for fear that anything would happen again.

In Yaochi Palace, after Mu Lianya and Shen Yinchu left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

A good birthday party turned out like this, many people shook their heads and sighed.

All the ministers left with their own family members, and they all looked cautious.

The Yaochi Hall was soon empty, and all the bright candles in the hall were extinguished.

In the dim hall, a red shadow turned back again, stepped into the hall, and went straight to the position where the assassin bit his tongue and killed himself.

From under the curtain next to the Panlong Column, he took out the dagger hidden by the assassin, and a piece of scabbard fell from the sleeve.

The tip of the knife is put into the sheath, and the stitches are seamless.

"Little Nine?"

Following Bi Yongqing's bewildered call, Bi Jiuhong's half-straightened body froze suddenly.

Then he stood up slowly, his complexion returned to normal, put the dagger into the scabbard, and tucked it in his sleeve.

"Mother."

"what are you doing?"

Bi Yongqing asked with a frown.

She saw it!

That's an assassin's knife!

How could Xiao Jiu have a scabbard!
Is this
Bi Jiuhong chuckled suddenly, and seeing his mother's eyes fell on the sleeve where he was hiding the dagger, he no longer concealed it, and took it out.

In the dark hall, Bi Jiuhong's pale complexion was a bit gloomy.

But what scares Bi Yongqing even more is the pattern and blood on the handle of the knife.

Really are!
She was still looking forward to it because the light was too dark, and she saw it wrong.

Unexpectedly, it is true!
Bi Yongqing was a little anxious.

"you are"

Even if she was dissatisfied with Shen Ci, she never thought of killing him!
It was still at the emperor's birthday banquet!
Bi Jiuhong didn't argue, but fiddled with the handle a few times.

With a click, the shell at the handle of the knife popped out, revealing the blood sac with the blade inside.

Bi Jiuhong took it off the dagger, and put the handle shell back on.

What he held in his right hand was a cylindrical container less than three inches in diameter and about one centimeter in diameter.

Two-thirds of the blood-colored liquid was filled in the translucent container.

All displayed in front of Bi Yongqing.

"Mother, this is just a task given to the child by the national teacher, so you don't need to panic too much."

Bi Yongqing's pupils shrank sharply, all the drunkenness faded away, and suddenly he felt a burst of cold sweat seeping out.

When did her Xiaojiu become someone who holds other people's blood in his hands and still has a smile on his lips!
"Do you know what you are doing!"

Bi Yongqing was afraid of attracting others, so he didn't dare to raise his voice, so he asked in a low voice.

Bi Jiuhong lowered his eyes slowly.

"My boy knows, but if you can't complete the task of the national teacher, you may never see him again."

Bi Yongqing held Bi Jiuhong's slender wrist, the red color in the blood bag in his hand was particularly glaring.

"What did you say?"

"Mother, if I don't do it, I will die."

Bi Jiuhong lowered his eyes, his eyelashes blocked the emotions in his eyes, and said in a low voice.

"But you. This is the palace, you are doing this in the palace, you"

"It won't be found out. The assassin is a member of the world and has nothing to do with the general's mansion. No one will find out. Don't worry, mother, as long as you don't tell me, no one will know about it!"

Bi Yongqing used some force subconsciously, and Bi Jiuhong couldn't help breathing out in pain.

At the same time keep talking.

"Mother, the child has no choice."
