Chapter 494 Seventh Prince

Zian couldn't risk Lao Qi's life. Even though he was misled this time, there were still many opportunities to kill King Nanhuai.

"Night King, can you recall the hidden guards now?" Zi'an asked.

Ye Wang counted the distance and shook his head gently, "I'm afraid it's too late, the old man is in Qiao Town tonight, and he will leave for Sujiang Town tomorrow morning, and he will do it tomorrow night, even if this king sends people out now, he can hurry It takes a day and a half to reach Bridge Town, and we can barely catch up, but we can't guarantee it, because it's not sure whether the hidden guards will attack at night or during the day."

Zian did the calculations himself. King Nanhuai only left Beijing for three days to reach Qiao Town. His footsteps were relatively slow, so it took three days. Even if the dark guard did it tomorrow night, it would be too late.

She thought wildly, always feeling that something was going to happen.

"Are you worrying too much?" The Night King saw that her expression was constantly changing, and he thought he had something on his mind.

Zian expressed his doubts and analyzed it with King Ye and King Liang. After hearing this, both of them looked serious.

According to Zi'an, things are really weird.

Moreover, if King Nanhuai really wanted to kill Concubine Gui, and Concubine Gui would fight back, who would be the most likely to sacrifice?

It must belong to Murong Jie and his wife.

Now the assassin insists that the instigator behind it is Zi'an, which explains the problem.

"I'd rather let him go than let Seventh Brother take risks!" Ye Wang made a decision and walked out immediately.

As soon as the Night King left, Eunuch Sun came, "Princess, Eunuch Bao came to Huiqing Palace to look for you, and said that the emperor wants to pass you over."

Zi'an said: "I know."

Liang Wang looked at her and said, "I will accompany you there."

Zian shook his head, "No, I will go by myself, don't get involved, the emperor is very suspicious, if you speak for me, it will be bad."

Now, at the moment of seizing the heir, although the King of Liang has no intentions, but the hearts of the people are far away. The emperor is not sure whether he really has no intention of fighting for the heir. Pot of.

On the way to Xiwei Palace, Sun Gong announced to Zi'an, "Princess, when the emperor asks you, don't rush to refute, don't rush to defend, don't say too much, just say that you haven't done it, the emperor is very suspicious, you say There are so many mistakes, at most, you can talk about your grievances when you catch a loophole, but you can’t say much about the other things. If you want to say it, you must say it sharply when the emperor mentions it. Be refined."

Zian knew that Eunuch Sun had served his ancestors in the past, he was an old man in the palace, he watched the emperor grow up, and he was the person who knew the emperor's temperament best.

Therefore, Zian kept it in mind, "Thank you, Eunuch Sun, for telling me."

Eunuch Sun sighed softly, "It's easy to hide from an open gun, but hard to defend from a hidden arrow. Sometimes, the person we think is the easiest to deal with is actually the most difficult to deal with."

Zian felt that Eunuch Sun's words were full of deep meaning, "Eunuch, if you have something to say, you might as well speak it out."

Eunuch Sun said softly: "The emperor seems to have deep trust in the prince and the concubine, and he even gave all the power to the prince. This trust is actually a weapon that constrains the prince. A decision made by the emperor will make it difficult for the prince to move forward. Concubine, how are you doing?" Think about what the old slave said. This time, you must not let the emperor become suspicious of you. Once you become suspicious, it will cause a crisis of trust in the prince. The prince will be away now, and the court and the emperor will not allow the slightest suspicion of him Ah, that is the time of life and death."

Zi'an knew it very well, "I know."

Came to Xiwei Palace, looked at the closed vermilion palace door, the two lock rings on the palace door gave off a cold light under the moon, Zi'an entered and exited Xiwei Palace many times, never once, as heavy as now.

The discovery of an assassin in the Ci'an Palace is destined to make many people sleepless this night.

Entering the palace, Lu Gonggong led the way, and came to the door of the sleeping hall, Lu Gonggong said: "Wangfei wait here, Concubine Yigui and the Seventh Prince are inside."

Zian lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows. The emperor had never seen Concubine Yi, but this time he summoned her at this juncture. Was it a fake face?

Moreover, isn't the Seventh Prince in the school grounds? Why are you back? When did you come back?

Zi'an became more and more uneasy. She didn't even know that the Seventh Prince was returning to the palace. It seemed that she was really messed up.

Zian waited for a stick of incense, only to feel his face numb from the cold wind, and then saw Concubine Yigui leading the Seventh Prince out. Indescribably charming.

As soon as the Seventh Prince saw Zi'an, he ran into the palace, yelling in horror as he ran, "Bad guy, you are a bad guy."

Zian was shocked when he saw the vicious smile in Concubine Yigui's eyes.

The emperor coughed from the palace, "What's wrong?"

"Father, that bad woman is here, she is the one who took my minister away." The Seventh Prince cried, his voice was very pitiful.

There was a moment of silence in the hall, Concubine Yi Gui sneered, turned around and entered, and coaxed: "Qi'er, you are mistaken, she is not some bad woman, she is your auntie emperor."

Zian followed him in, and saw the seventh prince hiding beside the bed, holding the emperor's wrist with both hands, trying to hide from the emperor's side, his eyes terrified, "No, it's her, she said that she would peel off the skin of the minister and dig out the eyeballs." , it's her, my son recognizes it."

The emperor raised his head and looked at Zi'an, his eyes were extremely cold. Even though Zi'an had been through the storm all the way, he still felt a trace of fear in his heart.

However, she tried to stabilize herself, her face calm.

The emperor said indifferently: "Concubine, take the emperor down."

Concubine Yi Gui responded and called the Seventh Prince to come over. The Seventh Prince held onto the Emperor's wrist tightly and would not let go. Concubine Yi walked over and dragged him away forcibly.

Concubine Yi Gui passed by Zi'an, raised her eyes, sneered, and dragged the Seventh Prince away.

Zi An stepped forward, "See Your Majesty, how is your Majesty feeling today?"

She greeted her as always, as if nothing had happened.

The emperor stared at her, his voice was hoarse and thin, as if a voice was squeezed out of his throat, "It's not very good."

"I'll ask for the emperor's pulse first." Zi'an stepped forward, but the emperor blocked him with his hand.

"Wait," the emperor continued to stare at her, "Just now, Eunuch Bao came back to report to me that the assassin has confessed and identified you as the mastermind behind the scenes. I would like to hear what you have to say."

Zian calmly said: "Your Majesty, I have never done it, and there is no need to do it."

"You and the imperial concubine have always had disputes. I heard that since you married into the palace, you have never gone to ask for peace."

Zi'an said: "Yes, this is the truth. There is some unhappiness between me and the Concubine Gui. She doesn't want to see me, and I don't want to see her either."

The emperor smiled, "You are very straightforward, and you don't know how to hide it? She is your mother-in-law after all."

Zi'an said: "I don't get along with her. This is a well-known thing. It's useless for me to cover it up. The emperor must know it too."

The emperor nodded and leaned back, "How many times have you met the emperor before?"

This question was asked casually, but Zian knew that this was definitely not a casual question.
