Legend of a Drop-dead Gorgeous Princess

Chapter 240: His hole cards

Neither Bai Shaoting nor Huo Jingyun spoke.

Ling Chen looked at Huo Jingyun and asked, "What do you think, Jingyun?"

Huo Jingyun said: "The minister feels that the behavior this time is not like King Ning. Did he change his method? The minister is wondering if there will be other forces, such as the Beiyi Remnant Party, or other remnant parties?"

Bai Shaoting said: "But one thing is for sure. These people are indeed very familiar with the imperial palace. King Ning has indeed changed a lot now. With his slaughter of the city, he should be the cruel method of those people that night."

Ling Chen nodded.

"As for releasing the princess again, only King Ning can do such a thing. King Ning does not know that Qingyun is the former queen. After all, he has a good relationship with Beiyi, and it makes sense to release the Princess Beiyi." Bai Shaoting said.

Han Zhitao asked: "But why did he kidnap the princess? He didn't see her after he kidnapped the princess, so he let it go again."

Huo Jingyun said: "Perhaps King Ning hijacked Qingyun because he was afraid that his people would accidentally kill the princess when he assassinated the emperor? The assassination of the emperor failed, and the princess was getting in the way when he tried to escape?"

King Rui nodded: "Maybe so. The kidnapping of Qingyun doesn't seem to want to hurt Qingyun..."

Ling Chen said immediately: "Why don't you want to hurt! I was hurt when I was kidnapped!"

Rui Wang shut up immediately.

Ling Chen said: "Jingyun, you send someone to explore the whereabouts of King Ning. Next, we will concentrate on taking down Shang Danguo!"

Ling Chen's face was solemn, and the base camp was almost blown up. Isn't this a blatant provocation!

Seeing Qingyun frowning, he asked, "Do you have anything to say?"

Qing Yun said: "Who have sent to assassinate the emperor, and the Blue Dragon guards are dispatched?"

Gu Fan lowered his head again.

Han Zhitao said: "These people have vicious and weird moves. They are fast-acting killers who have been strictly trained. They come and go without a trace. Those injured who can't escape immediately take poison and commit suicide without leaving any clues."

Qingyun asked Huo Jingyun and Bai Shaoting: "Don't you see the clues for Brother Bai and Brother Bai?"

Huo Jingyun said: "Yes, these people have received strict training and are not ordinary sneak attackers."

Qingyun was very worried, and the way that Senior Brother and Big Brother Bai couldn't help, who would these people be?

Xiao Guizi had already taken someone to prepare lunch, and Ling Chen's injuries were mainly to his right arm and right leg. He is struggling to eat.

Qing Yun personally fed the emperor. She was not as respectful as others did to the emperor, but like feeding a child. Ling Chen drank soup and stuck to her mouth. The tasseled veil was just handed over, and Qing Yun had wiped the emperor with her sleeve. .

Like an old husband and wife who have been together for many years.

Tassel looked at her heart and sighed, thinking of the emperor's affection for the queen. Now the queen's bones are not cold. After less than a month, the emperor and the Qingyun princess are so affectionate. The love of men is really unreliable.

She remembered that the empress was always nice to them. Pearl married King Rui with her help. The queen didn't have any pretensions to them. Although the Qingyun princess was also good, she couldn't compare with the queen. And he was so diligent before she married the emperor, and felt very uncomfortable.

Everyone also discussed the government of the court today, discussed the methods of education and recruiting talents in various countries, and proposed that regardless of national boundaries, regardless of background and employment, they also discussed the issue of taxation.

Qingyun and Liusu helped the imperial doctor change the emperor's dressing together. Qingyun looked at the emperor's wound, it was already healed, but it was not a major problem.

Everyone stayed in Linhua Hall for more than an hour, and saw that the emperor should also rest, and was about to leave.

When sending them out, Qingyun deliberately sent Huo Jingyun: "Brother, I went to the Fumantang restaurant where you used to take me to dinner a few days ago, and saw a person who looked like you, but unfortunately I went too fast. , Didn't see clearly."

Huo Jingyun said: "Oh, it is possible, I did go there for dinner, and a few former friends, why don't you call me?"

Qingyun said: "You were walking outside when I saw you, I called you, but you didn't hear it."

Huo Jingyun said: "In those few days, there were too many things, my father's affairs, the marriage urged by the family, I was a little irritable, I probably didn't hear it.

Qingyun nodded: "I just said how brother would ignore me. Brother, do you know Liu Chong? He is dead. He came to the palace and walked into the palace from the west wall of Changxin Palace. He was seriously injured and died. The injury is strange, as if the bones and skin have been separated."

Huo Jingyun pondered for a moment: "This kind of injury is indeed rare, much like the bone-scraping claw of the bone-scraping magic. But the bone-scraping magic has long been lost."

"I'm very strange now, why does Liu Chong go to the palace to find me desperately?"

Huo Jingyun pondered for a moment: "It's a bit suspicious. Maybe he really wants to see you. He has been very good to Lan Ling. Maybe he heard the news that you are Lan Ling? But it should be impossible. I know."

Qingyun said: "I always feel that things will not be so simple."

Huo Jingyun said: "Well, I understand what you mean. I will find someone to check what Liu Chong is doing recently and who he has contacted."

After sending them away, Qingyun returned to Linhua Hall.

Ling Chen looked at Qingyun with a black face: "Why are you talking about for so long?"

Qingyun smiled and said, "Speaking a few words with brother, I want to ask him about Liu Chong."

"Have you not let go of that matter?" Ling Chen asked.

Qingyun thought: "No, when I was at Lan's house, Liu Chong treated me very well. So this incident has never gone through in my heart. First, he died unclearly. Second, I always felt like he was desperately dead. You must talk to me when you come to the palace."

"Well, I will order someone to check it." Ling Chen said, after finishing speaking, he glanced at Qingyun: "Have you asked Huo Jingyun to check it?"

Qingyun quickly said: "No, no, wouldn't it be faster for the emperor to send someone to investigate?"

Ling Chen's face finally wasn't so dark anymore.

Qing Yun couldn't laugh or cry when he saw him, and stared at him: "My brother is about to get married, what are you thinking about all day?"

Ling Chen stretched out his hand and hugged Qing Yun, "Come up, come to my side, I haven't rested in peace for a long time, and I want to get some sleep today."

What he said is true. The black shadow under his eyes could tell that he was resting too badly.

Qing Yun went to bed obediently, Ling Chen hugged her, pressed her to his chest, and closed his eyes contentedly.

She stretched out her hands to hold Ling Chen's arms, put his hand on her lips, and asked Ling Chen in a low voice: "Is the Canglong Guardian your last defense?"

Ling Chen shook her hand: "Don't worry, I can protect myself. I am afraid that something will happen to you."

Ling Chen did not tell her his final hole card. Qingyun never asked again.

She had a very strange idea, the group of people who came to assassinate Ling Chen with great fanfare might have come to spy on Ling Chen's power, or wanted to take a look at Ling Chen's hole cards.

She couldn't help shivering with these thoughts.
