The female supporting role turns over: the prince regent's favorite

Chapter 60 Knowing that Gu Changgeng was assassinated, the emperor was furious

in the palace.

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Pingyang is asking to see you."

The emperor put down the paperwork for review, and said puzzledly: "Why is Marquis Pingyang asking for an audience at this time?" After thinking for a while, he said: "Let him in."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The eunuch who notified him slowly exited the imperial study, and said to Pingyang Hou outside the door: "Master Hou, the emperor let you in."

Marquis Pingyang nodded slightly, stepped into the imperial study room, and knelt down to salute the emperor.

"See Your Majesty."

"Pingyang Marquis, please rise up, what is the reason for entering the palace today?"

Marquis Pingyang stood up, with a solemn expression, and said: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report. Just now, Gu Changgeng, the orphan of General Gu Yun, was chased and killed by two thieves on the street, and happened to be rescued by a dog who was out. The minister's mansion gave him medical treatment, but the injury is serious, and his life may be in danger!"

As soon as the words fell, the emperor's face was gloomy, and he asked sharply, "What about the thief? Have you caught him?"

"The servants in the house went after him, but they didn't catch up."

The emperor was furious, and with a "bang", he slapped the case again, and said: "Bold thief! How dare you be so rampant in broad daylight, in the imperial city!"

Marquis Pingyang panicked and said: "Your Majesty calm down, don't spoil the dragon's body because of these thieves' anger."

The emperor narrowed his sharp eyes slightly, and shouted in a deep voice, "Li Quan, come in!"

Li Quan, the chief eunuch, came in immediately, "Your Majesty."

The emperor ordered angrily: "Immediately go to the imperial medical office to order the imperial doctor to go to the Marquis of Pingyang to treat Gu Changgeng. If Gu Changgeng cannot be kept safe, I will chop off the heads of these quack doctors!"

"It's Your Majesty, the servant will do it now."

"Wait, give the Habayashi Army an order to close the city gates and thoroughly investigate the imperial city. Even if I search every household, I must find these two rampant thieves!"

"Yes, the slave obeys."

Li Quan led the decree, and Pingyanghou stood in the imperial study, trembling in his heart, the emperor was so furious, fortunately he went to the palace to report the matter, if Gu Changgeng's life was lost and he came back to report, his entire Pingyanghou's mansion might be destroyed blame.

……

Pingyang Hou Mansion.

The Marquis of Pingyang returned to the mansion, brought a group of imperial doctors, and rushed into the East Wing. A group of people surrounded Gu Changgeng, who was seriously injured and unconscious on the bed, to check the pulse, check the injury, and prescribe prescriptions. Someone fetched thousand-year-old ginseng and asked Gu Changgeng to keep it in his mouth to save his life.

A group of imperial doctors anxiously guarded the front of the collapse, fearing that Gu Changgeng, who was breathing weakly, would lose his breath in the next moment.

Lin Qingqian's face turned pale, she stayed in the wing room and refused to leave, and Chun Xiahou followed her side in fear.

Shen Fei thought for a while, and persuaded: "Miss San, I will arrange another room for you to rest for a while, there are imperial doctors guarding here, Young Master Gu will definitely be fine."

Lin Qingqian shook her head, "No need, I'll watch here."

Shen Fei had no choice but to let her go, thinking to himself: It seems that what was said in the palace that day that Prime Minister Lin's family treated Gu Changgeng very well is not a lie.

Even so, Shen Fei still sent someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion to inform them that the two were hunted down by thieves and are now in Pingyang Hou's Mansion.

……

The Prime Minister's Mansion, Lin Langtian's wing.

A man dressed in black came in silently, knelt down in front of Lin Langtian, and said, "Master, Zhang San and Li Si failed in their mission to assassinate Gu Changgeng, and they are now in the basement."

Lin Langtian's elegant face was instantly torn apart, his eyes were as cold as frost, and the writing brush in his hand was broken by his fingers.

"Walk."

Lin Langtian twisted a mechanism on the bookshelf, and the bookshelf moved away, revealing a secret door. He stepped into the secret door, followed by a man in black clothes. After the two entered the secret door, the bookshelf moved again. Back to the original position.

In a dark basement.

As soon as Lin Langtian came, Zhang San and Li Si immediately knelt down regardless of their injuries, and said with a pale face, "This subordinate failed to complete the task, please punish me, master!"

Lin Langtian asked coldly, "Why did you miss?"

The two looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and Zhang San said: "Back to the master, the subordinates could have easily eliminated Gu Changgeng, but the third lady obstructed it many times, and then met Pingyang Hou Shizi who came with his attendants. We had to retreat immediately."

As soon as the words fell, Lin Langtian kicked Zhang San's chest fiercely, and said with a sneer: "Trash, does anyone believe this? A little girl with no strength to restrain a chicken can actually stop you many times?! "

Zhang San was kicked to the ground and vomited a mouthful of blood, but immediately knelt down again, and said in fear: "Master, what I said is true, the third lady stopped us repeatedly, it was very difficult, after we stabbed Gu Changgeng, the third lady Take him away, we were about to catch up, the third lady scattered the money on the road, causing the people to swarm up to pick up the money, blocking our way."

Zhang San paused, the pain in his chest was terribly painful, he gritted his teeth and continued, "We caught up with Gu Changgeng again, and he was injured by one person. We wanted to take his life, but the third lady came back again and fooled the subordinates with her words. The subordinate was blinded by the quicklime powder used by Miss San for a while, Li Si was also stabbed in the chest by Gu Changgeng's dagger, and after that, Prince Pingyang Hou Shizi rushed over."

Lin Langtian thought for a moment, "Miss San and Gu Changgeng left the house together?"

"No, Gu Changgeng left the mansion first, and ran into Miss San on the street, and the two played together."

Lin Langtian remained silent, stood tall and tall, and asked again after a while: "How is Gu Changgeng injured?"

"Gu Changgeng was stabbed in the shoulder and back, which should be seriously injured."

Lin Langtian frowned slightly, and the man in black clothes who followed him in said in a low voice: "Master, do you want Han Ye to go there in person and take Gu Changgeng's life?"

"No, now that the Marquis of Pingyang has learned about this, maybe the emperor already knew about Gu Changgeng's assassination, so let's wait and see what happens."

Han Ye said: "Yes, what about Zhang San and Li Si?"

"Receive fifty lashes each, and be locked up in a prison."

Zhang San and Li Si, who were kneeling on the ground, trembled and their faces were ashen. There were only a handful of people who could come out of the dungeon alive, but the two of them did not dare to ask for mercy.

Lin Langtian saw that he hadn't glanced at the two of them, turned around and left the basement.

After returning to the study, Steward Fu's voice sounded outside.

"Master Xiang."

"Well, what's the matter?"

"The servants of the Marquis of Pingyang just said that Miss San and Gu Changgeng were hunted down by thieves on the street, and Gu Changgeng was seriously injured. Both of them are now in Marquis of Pingyang's mansion, and..."

"What else?"

"The emperor was furious when he heard about this, and ordered the Habayashi Army to close the city gates and conduct a thorough investigation. It is bound to find out those two culprits."

Lin Langtian frowned, he could somewhat guess what the emperor was thinking.

In the imperial city, at the foot of the sky, someone can be assassinated and then disappear without a trace. The emperor must feel that he is threatened, so he must investigate thoroughly.

After a while, Lin Langtian said: "Understood, prepare the carriage, and I will go to the Pingyang Hou's Mansion."

"Yes, my servant will order someone to prepare a carriage."
