"Something big happened?"

Emperor Liang became even more confused, then waved his hand: "I understand, let Meng Qing come in."

After Meng Zhi came in, he immediately saluted and then, under Emperor Liang's questioning, told what happened in the capital last night.

When Emperor Liang heard this, he became furious: "What did you say? Gong Ziyu was assassinated and seriously injured. He can't come to the palace today?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, because at that time it was not just Gong Ziyu, but also Prince Mu and the young masters of the Yanhou family. Yesterday, the patrol camp and the Sansi Yamen went to the scene. The place where the incident occurred is still under lockdown, and it is only for one night.

In the past, no trace of the assassin was found."

"Early this morning, I also went to Prince Mu's Mansion. I met Gong Ziyu and checked his injuries. It is true that his injuries are serious. It will be difficult to recover within a month or two."

Emperor Liang was furious: "In the capital city, the assassin is so arrogant and dares to ruin my important affairs. He deserves death."

Long Yan was furious, and Meng Zhi immediately nodded without daring to say a word.

After being furious, Emperor Liang began to think about it. Mu Qing and Yan Yujin were not seriously injured, but Gong Ziyu was seriously injured. This made him think that the assassin was targeting Gong Ziyu.

"It seems that the assassin assassinated Gong Ziyu most likely for today's incident."

Meng Zhi also agreed: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen thinks so too, but Wei Chen feels that the assassin can seriously injure Gong Ziyu and injure Mr. Yan and Mr. Mu. His strength is extraordinary. There are people with such force in the capital.

Very few."

Emperor Liang looked gloomy and snorted coldly: "It seems that some people have become more and more bold recently. They dare to be so wanton in my capital. I will not forgive you. I decree that the Sansi Yamen will do their best to investigate, and the people behind the scenes must be revealed."

Someone caught him out."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Eunuch Gao responded, and then ordered people to convey the will.

Meng Zhi asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, without Gong Ziyu, how will today's palace banquet be conducted?"

Emperor Liang's head hurt again, and he cursed: "This Young Master Yu, I have high hopes for him and let him enter the palace today. He dared to go to that place last night. Sure enough, he couldn't get there."

You are a young person on the stage."

He didn't care at all whether Gong Ziyu was seriously injured or dead. What he cared about was that Zhou Chen's injury ruined his big event. This was the reason for his anger.

It's just that the decree has been issued a long time ago, and he can't refuse the palace banquet just for Zhou Chen, so he can only bite the bullet and continue.

Zhou Chen rinsed his mouth and washed his face under the service of the maid. Before he could eat, he saw Mu Qing wandering over.

"You didn't go to the palace for the banquet?"

Seeing Mu Qing, Zhou Chen asked in surprise, because Mu Nihuang had already left at this time, but Mu Qing was still at home.

Mu Qing looked depressed: "Where are we going? I was ready, but my sister insisted on letting me take care of you at home and refused to let me go to the palace. Alas."

"What do you mean by this expression? You don't want to take care of me, and I don't want you to take care of me yet. Get out of here. The palace banquet hasn't started yet, and you still have time to go there. Aren't you worried about your sister's life-long affairs?"

"Then it's okay for you to be alone?"

Of course Mu Qing wanted to go, but she was worried that Zhou Chen would be here alone.

Zhou Chen waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, can the assassin still come to your Prince Mu's Mansion to assassinate you?"

"Does he dare? If he dares to come, I will let him know how powerful I am."

"Okay, you go as soon as possible. If you wait any longer, it will be too late."

In the end, Mu Qing was still concerned about his sister's marriage and hurried to the palace by car.

Zhou Chen originally thought about taking the opportunity to leave Prince Mu's Mansion, but he thought that Xiao Jingrui and Mei Changsu must have gone to the palace at this time. It would not be good for him to go to Xie's Mansion with his injured body.

As for Miaoyinfang, he wanted to go, but he was afraid that Gong Yu would be very sad when he saw that he was injured. Women's tears were more powerful to him than swords.

After thinking about it carefully, he realized that Mu Nihuang hadn't been found much from last night to today, so he decided to wait a few days for his injury to get better before looking for Gong Yu. By then, Gong Yu would definitely have bought it.

house.

In the evening, Mu Qing and Mu Nihuang returned to the palace. As soon as Mu Qing came back, he ran to Zhou Chen, along with Xiao Jingrui, Yan Yujin and Mei Changsu.

Yan Yujin and Mu Qing were the most lively. You told them what happened in the palace today.

Because Zhou Chen was injured in advance and did not go, so without his involvement, what happened in the palace today was similar to the TV series.

First, Xiao Jingrui challenged Baili Qi, and then with Mu Nihuang's deliberate cooperation, Mei Changsu successfully fished Xiao Tingsheng out of Yeyouting.

Zhou Chen felt relieved when he learned that everything went smoothly.

If it weren't for the fact that the system's main mission was exactly the same as Mei Changsu's plan, which was to overturn the case during Emperor Liang's reign, to be honest, he really wanted to assassinate Emperor Liang directly with his sword, thinking of the time he had just traveled through time and the subsequent pain he suffered.

, even giving Emperor Liang a Lingchi execution would not be an exaggeration.

Mei Changsu and the others did not stay in Prince Mu's Mansion for long. Knowing that Zhou Chen was still safe, they left with peace of mind.

But after dinner, Mu Nihuang came to Zhou Chen's training room.

"Princess Princess."

Princess Nihuang stood not far from Zhou Chen's bed, looked directly at Zhou Chen, and suddenly asked: "What is your relationship with Mr. Su?"

Zhou Chen asked in surprise: "Why do you ask that?"

Mu Nihuang snorted coldly: "Do you really think I am a fool? In the past two years, I have been investigating you a lot in order to find you. If I am not wrong, even if you are not from the Jiangzuo Alliance, you must be related to Su

I have a very good relationship with you sir.”

"Why do you guess so?" Zhou Chen was not that surprised.

"Before you came to the southern border, you were in Jiangzuo. Later, I investigated your information and found that although you traveled to various countries, the place where you appeared most often was still Jiangzuo. When you first came to the capital, you also behaved like Mr. Su.

It looks very familiar.”

"That's all?"

"Of course not. I couldn't understand it at first, but what happened at the palace banquet today suddenly made me understand a lot of things. Your injury this time is too strange. His Majesty just planned to let you replace the top ten in the son-in-law selection meeting.

On the eve of killing someone, you were assassinated. This is somewhat too coincidental;"

"Together with what happened in the palace today, Mr. Su's behavior is also very strange. Although I don't know what you are planning, I can be sure that your relationship with him is definitely unusual. When you come to the capital, there must be something else.

the goal of."

Mu Nihuang slowly expressed her suspicions. In fact, when she saw Zhou Chen's wounds yesterday, something was definitely wrong.

Two years ago, Zhou Chen's martial arts was a step higher than his, and it will only get stronger two years later. Zhou Chen has traveled around the world for many years and has extremely rich experience. Who in the capital can assassinate him at such a close range?

After all, she is also on the Langya master list, and her knowledge of martial arts is much better than others.

Zhou Chen remained silent. Mu Nihuang's reaction was really beyond his expectation. She was worthy of being a peerless female commander who could command a hundred thousand cavalry and guard the southern border for ten years.

"What, you still don't want to admit it? Or do you think I will betray you?"

Zhou Chen thought for a moment and realized that even if he denied it, he might not be able to dispel Mu Nihuang's doubts.

"Of course I know you won't betray me. You are right. Brother Su and I are indeed good friends. Strictly speaking, I am also a member of the Jiangzuo Alliance. We did have other purposes in going to Beijing.

But I am just an assistant, Brother Su is the planner, I will not betray him, if you want to know more, go find him."

Mu Nihuang stared at Zhou Chen for a long time, and finally said: "You didn't lie to me, which makes me very satisfied. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about your affairs, but I want to tell you, no matter what you want

What to do, the water in the capital is very deep, saving your life is more important than anything else."

"I cherish my life even more than you said, but..."

Zhou Chen shook his head and did not say any more. Some things had to be done. If he didn't plan it, Mei Changsu would have to do it.

After this conversation, Mu Nihuang did not come to see Zhou Chen again in the next few days.

The Red Sleeves assassination incident is still under investigation, but King Yu took action behind the scenes, making the investigation much quieter.

It was not until five days later that Mei Changsu used three young men to defeat Beiyan's Bai Qi and became famous.

When Mu Nihuang returned to the palace, she learned from her younger brother Mu Qing that Zhou Chen left a letter and disappeared.

Thinking that two years ago, Zhou Chen also left without saying goodbye, Mu Nihuang was so angry that she tore up Zhou Chen's letter.

After Zhou Chen left Mu Mansion, he came to Miaoyinfang.

"Sir, are your injuries healed?"

As soon as Gong Yu saw Zhou Chen, her eyes turned red. She wanted to hug Zhou Chen excitedly, but she was afraid of touching Zhou Chen's wounds.

As early as a few days ago, she had already learned from Mr. Thirteen that it was Zhou Chen who was assassinated in Hongxiu Zhao a few days ago, and he was also injured.

Although Mr. Thirteen said that Zhou Chen was fine, she was still nervous for several days. She had been in low spirits these days. She wanted to sneak into Prince Mu's Mansion to find Zhou Chen several times, but she was afraid of ruining Zhou Chen's plan.

, in the end I could only endure my worries and longings, and wait silently.

Zhou Chen reached out and took Gong Yu into his arms. He didn't come here in the first place because he was afraid that Gong Yu would be worried. He also felt heartbroken when he thought that Gong Yu had been worried about him these days.

"Don't be sad. Didn't I come back well? I have been unable to escape these days, so I didn't come to tell you that I was safe. Don't blame me."

Gong Yu shook his head: "As long as you are fine, Master, it's fine with me."

"Silly girl."
