Legend of a Drop-dead Gorgeous Princess

Chapter 238: The emperor assassinated

On the second day, Qing Yun took Xiaojing and Xiaoshuan to go to Ziyi Pavilion, Ling Chen sent Gu Fan over again, and Gu Fan brought more than 20 tall and valiant guards.

"Gu Fan, I'm going to see my friends, not to fight a war. You brought so many people with such serious expressions, so you won't scare others?" Qing Yun was startled.

"Princess, this is ordered by the emperor."

Qingyun had no choice but to arrive at Ziyi Pavilion.

The guard of Ziyi Pavilion didn't know Qingyun, Qingyun said to look for Chen Chao or Lixia, and the guard told her that Chen Chao had taken Lixia back to Moshan. Qingyun asked if Liu Chong was there again. The guard said that Liu Chong had transferred away half a month ago and he didn't know where he went.

In short, the door guard would not let her in. Qingyun regretted not bringing Mo Ling. She used to go to Ziyi Pavilion. If the guard did not know her, she would immediately let her go after she reported Lan Ling's name. Now she is Qingyun, so the guard wouldn't let in.

"Then Hall Master Chen is not here, who is in charge of Ziyitang?" Gu Fan asked the guard.

The guard said: "It's Zhang Ruozhu, Zhang Shan."

"Oh, great, then I'll find Zhang Shan. Just say, and say that someone named Qingyun is looking for him." Qingyun thought, someone finally knew him.

The guard looked at Qingyun. Qingyun was already good-looking and smiled brilliantly. The guard scratched his head and ran away.

Zhang Shan greeted him quickly, and saw Qingyun quickly salute.

"Princess, it really is you."

Zhang Shan welcomed everyone in.

"Aren't you usually in the Marshal's Mansion? Why are you in Ziyi Hall again?" Qing Yun asked him.

"I usually take care of each other. Now that Hall Master Chen has returned to Moshan, I am back." Zhang Shan said.

"When will cousin come back?" Qingyun asked.

"I don't know, I didn't say." Zhang Shan said.

"Then when will my brother come back?" Qing Yun asked.

Zhang Shan shook his head: "The marshal never said, nor did I ask."

Qingyun told Zhang Shan to retire his maid.

"What is the princess?" Zhang Shan's expression instantly became serious.

Qingyun asked in a low voice: "Has anything happened to Ziyi Hall recently? Or is there something happening in my senior brother's house?"

Zhang Shan said: "I haven't heard that there is nothing wrong with Ziyitang. Brother Huo just went home to visit relatives and didn't say anything. What's wrong?"

"Do you know Liu Chong?" Qing Yun asked.

"Liu Chong? I heard that it was the one who used to be the guard leader of the Lan family?"

"Yes, it's him."

Zhang Shan said, "Some time ago, he said that he had a personal matter to deal with and he had left Ziyitang."

"He is dead." Qing Yun said.

"Huh?" Zhang Shan was taken aback for a moment.

"The death was miserable, like being seriously injured to death. I thought something had happened to Ziyitang, so I came over and have a look."

"No. We are fine." Zhang Shan is very grateful that Qingyun can miss them.

He didn't know that Qingyun was Lan Ling, he just thought she was Huo Jingyun's junior sister, and the woman Huo Jingyun cared about.

"Princess Qingyun, although Hall Master Chen is not there, you can stay in Ziyi Hall for a few days."

"No, you're fine, I just come over and take a look." Qing Yun replied.

Qingyun turned around, and currently none of the people in the Ziyi Hall was known to her.

Qingyun took Xiaojing and left Ziyitang.

So Liu Chong died because of his personal grievances? But why did he desperately die in the palace? Liu Chong is a very calm person, and will not fight her life to confirm if she is Lan Ling.

Qingyun was a little depressed.

She looked back at Gu Fan: "It was hard to come out. We had lunch outside before going back. I will invite you to dinner."

Gu Fan snorted for a long time, as if to refuse. Gu Fan has been following Qing Yun silently, his face is rare and solemn: "Princess, there are not many people with him today, so let's go back to the palace soon."

Qingyun said: "I usually come out alone, and nothing is wrong. Today you brought too many people, it's too ostentatious."

As he was talking, Gu Fan's face changed slightly, and he reached out and drew his sword.

Qingyun was about to turn around when he was grabbed by the neck and flew up.

She was picked up on a fast-running horse and rushed forward.

Qingyun struggled, Gu Fan and Xiaoshuanzi followed closely, and the guards behind also followed. Qingyun reached out and pulled out the small dagger from his leg. This small dagger was given to Lan Ling by Sima Hui at the time. When Lan Ling wanted to escape from the palace, he was knocked out on the ground and picked up by Gu Fan. The day before yesterday, he gave it back to her. .

The dagger was full of blue light and sharp.

"The princess had better not move. Our master just wants to see the princess. He hasn't wanted your life yet. If the princess moves, I can't guarantee that I will kill you by mistake!"

His voice was hoarse and dull, and he tapped Qingyun's acupuncture points while talking.

"Who is your master?" Qing Yun asked loudly.

"You'll know when you get there," he answered unhurriedly.

"Is your master King Ning?"

The man stopped talking.

Gu Fan became angry from embarrassment. He knew who Qingyun was. How could he be worthy of the emperor after losing Princess Qingyun!

But the man in front ran too fast and disappeared after turning two intersections.

Kuaima has been running wildly for a long time, the man put a black dress on Qingyun's head, maybe it was his clothes, Qingyun was almost suffocated by the smell of sweat on the clothes. With the bumps along the way, Qingyun almost vomited after being hugged from the horse.

The man took off the clothes covering Qingyun's head, and Qingyun saw them in a small courtyard.

He stopped at a narrow and somewhat old door, and entered a yard, but there was no heaven in it.

The yard inside was very large, and the man took her into the backyard and put her down in an elegantly furnished room.

The doors and windows of this house are double-layered and they are all locked.

The man put her down, ready to go out.

Qingyun looked at him pale and looked old, but he was very young when she heard the voice. She saw at a glance that this face was disguised.

"Go ahead, who wants to see me?"

The human said: "Trouble the princess is waiting here, the person who sees you has not come here yet, you have to wait for him."

Qingyun asked: "How long to wait? Who is he?"

"I don't know how long I will wait, he will see you anyway." The man said, locked the door and left.

Qingyun is under house arrest in this house. Every day someone delivers food and drinks, but the person who delivers the food never talks to her.

But no one has come to see Qingyun. Qingyun gradually turned from anger to panic.

After living in this house for more than ten days, Qingyun wondered, why did Ling Chen's people find himself? Calculating the distance, it was only half a day's journey from Yuncheng, not too far.

Qingyun got up that day. She stood in front of the window and looked outside. Today, the cold wind roared and the dripping water turned into ice. There was no one outside in this severe winter weather.

Qingyun finished freshening up and used the breakfast outside. I just took a sip of tea and I was unconscious.

When she woke up again, she was in a carriage, Qingyun probed out and saw the carriage parked in front of an inn.

Qing Yun got up and asked the inn Xiao Er, knowing that it was not far from Yuncheng.

The little second looked at Qingyun: "Girl, are you going to Cloud City? Now everyone is running out of Cloud City. Why are you going to Cloud City? Are you home in Cloud City or visit relatives?"

"Uh, my home is in Yuncheng, why do they all run out of Yuncheng?" Qingyun wondered.

"The girl went to another place. Yuncheng was bombed some time ago, the palace was blown up, and the emperor was seriously injured."

Qingyun almost fell: "What did you say? The emperor was seriously injured?"

"Yes, you don’t know about such a big thing? Ten days ago, someone assassinated the emperor in the middle of the night and killed a lot of people. I heard that the entire palace was almost captured. Fortunately, our emperor is the emperor of the horse, who can fight against the country. It's a matter, otherwise the world will be in chaos again!"

The emperor was assassinated? Did King Ning start again?
