Chapter 260 Assassination
Outside the courtyard, Bi'er walked slowly with Yunluo. Looking at the lady's calm expression, Bi'er said, "I don't know whether what Miss Peach Blossom says is true or false. If it is true, then this Peach Blossom girl is open-minded and quite impressive."
Yunluo did not answer.
Su Jinchen took peach blossoms to visit all over the capital in the next few days. In fact, Su Jinchen might not have been back for many years. He lived in the capital for more than a year and then set off with the Prince of Bei to the border. He thought there was not much change, but he could not find the way back after turning two streets.
The two stood on the bustling streets and looked at each other.
Su Jinchen coughed lightly and said, "I remember that restaurant with good dishes is nearby. It should be this street."
"Oh, that might be because the boss suddenly felt that he had made enough money, so he closed the door and stopped doing it." Taohua nodded in cooperation.
After looking around again, Su Jinchen gave up, "Okay, I should be lost."
Su Jinchen looked shy and annoyed when he said this. His fair skin was thin red, and the corners of his mouth were slightly turned down. He was quite childish. He was obviously a young man but he looked like a young boy of thirteen or fourteen years old. He really couldn't tell that he was a gentleman who was afraid of the enemy.
Taohua burst out laughing, and she almost never tired of watching Su Jinchen like this.
"Anyway, I have to go to that house. Let's take a walk and take a look. It's better to see which house to go to when I'm hungry." Taohua said.
The two of them were just wandering around the streets casually. Peach blossoms saw everything novel. There were indeed many gadgets here than Xicheng, and there were many kinds of street sales. After one day, both of them couldn't take the things that Peach blossoms bought, but Su Jinchen asked someone to send them back. When the vendor heard that they were sent to the Su Mansion, they were even more happy. In normal times, they had no chance to get close to such a wealthy mansion.
In the next few days, Su Jinchen accompanied Taohua to wander around the capital or nearby suburbs. Rumors gradually spread in the city, such as the clever gentleman abandoning thousands of charming love for the fields, and saying that Taohua thoughts were treacherous and confusing the princes of the aristocratic families. There were even many scripts circulating in the market, but soon these messages suddenly disappeared as if they suddenly appeared. I thought they were suppressed by someone.
Taohua had no idea about this, and just waited for the celebration banquet to end on this day, and Su Jinchen followed him back to the four trees.
As the sky gradually became late, Taohua stood on the terrace and looked in the direction of the imperial city. Mr. Su, Yun Luo and others went to the palace. Taohua smiled slightly, thinking about the glorious atmosphere in the towering palace walls, but she didn't have much envy. However, since Prince Bei returned to the capital, she has never seen Taohua again, and Zhang Meng has only seen it a few times. Her friends when she was young have gradually grown up and each has their own lives. They are happy and melancholy, but they have never thought of it when they were young.
I don’t know when the celebration banquet ended, but I thought I wouldn’t see Su Jinchen today. Taohua thought about it and followed the two little girls downstairs and walked towards the hospital. However, most of the servants I met along the way were hurried and nervous. This is rare. Most of the servants in the mansion usually have slow steps, neither fast nor slow, and their expressions must be calm and gentle. They have never been so hurried and nervous.
Taohua was suspicious, and immediately pulled a servant who was passing by and asked what had happened.
When the servant saw that it was a peach blossom, he opened his mouth but didn't know whether he should say it. He just lowered his head and whispered: "The villain doesn't know."
Seeing this, Taohua knew that she couldn't ask anything, so she immediately stopped to go to the front yard. She thought in her mind that at this time, she defeated the barbarians and the neighboring countries took the initiative to show their kindness, but she really couldn't think of what else would happen.
Just after taking two steps, I happened to see Su Jinchen and his family coming back from outside in a neat manner. This is surprising. They should be all in the palace at this time. Could it be that something happened at the celebration banquet?
Yunluo was supported by Bier, with a pale face and a sloppy step, and almost unsteady standing. Su Yunju and Su Jinchen also had solemn faces and frowned, but they did not see Mr. Su.
Su Jinchen saw Taohua at this time and forced a smile. Taohua stopped immediately and walked back.
Sitting in the yard, Peach Blossoms quietly listened to the movements next door. It was not until late that there was a sound next to him. Peach Blossoms seemed to wake up and rushed out quickly. Su Jinchen was indeed back from the front yard.
"What happened." Taohua walked over.
"You guys retreat first." Su Jinchen said to the two little girls behind Taohua, then took the lantern from Tong Ming's hand and walked towards the pond in front with Taohua.
The moonlight is silvery, the lotus pond is quiet, the evening breeze is swaying, a lantern is lit, and the man beside him is getting clearer under the moonlight. The moonlight falls on his body and makes him look a little colder. His starry eyes are becoming brighter under the faint moonlight. It is a very elegant moonlight, and the clear scenery of a young man, but the words that Su Jinchen said suddenly cut through this beautiful mood, as if the thunder thunder arose in the dark night, instantly pushing people from the clouds to the endless abyss.
"The emperor was assassinated!"
“What’s the result?”
The heart of the peach blossoms sinks. What impact will the assassination happen at this critical moment? The north has just won a great victory, and the title of Prince of the Northern County has not been granted yet. How many opportunities will this bring to those who have ulterior motives? What turmoil will the court cause? If the emperor dies, then...
Peach blossoms were simply unimaginable and couldn't help but shivered.
"Luckily, Mr. Zhao appeared in time and the emperor was not seriously injured." Su Jinchen said, "But grandpa stayed in the palace and negotiated with the ministers."
That's good. Peach Blossom's heart relaxed a little, and before she could speak, Su Jinchen said apologetically: "Peach Blossom, I'm afraid I can't go back with you recently. If you miss home, I'll send someone to escort you first..."
"No need." Taohua held Su Jinchen's hand, feeling the other party's palms cold, and couldn't help feeling distressed, "I'm here to accompany you."
"Peach Blossom." Su Jinchen sighed lightly, strange, and his mood, which was a little confused just now, was a little calmer. But before Su Jinchen could say anything, suddenly a scream sounded, and both of them were shocked and rushed to the sound.
The voice came from the courtyard where Yunluo lived, and guards kept running along the way. Tong Ming also ran over at this time, panicking in his face, "Madam, the master, was assassinated."
Su Jinchen shook his figure and said to the peach blossoms that followed him: "You go back to the yard first and don't come out."
Taohua ran and said, "Don't worry, I will protect myself."
Su Jinchen was panicked at this time and could not say anything more. He just ran away quickly, and the shouts of killing became more and more intense. The sleeping people woke up one after another and ran around the mansion.
There are many guards in the Su Mansion, and they are guarded by the princess. In addition, the Emperor's assassination was tonight, the Yungu has already been dispatched, and the capital is filled with streets and alleys, strengthening patrol and guarding. Unexpectedly, someone dared to do the assassination with great courage.
