The Imperial Guard’s Revenge

After the emperor was assassinated, Jin Yiwei quickly took control of Yikun Palace, but the other party was the queen after all, and she was the first hero who came to rescue him. Queen Fang took Concubine Cao Duan away in the name of interrogation, but Jin Yiwei could not stop her.

Lu Heng frowned when he heard Guo Tao's words. When Empress Fang put Yang Jinying and others to death, Lu Heng felt that something was wrong. The sixteen maids involved, including Zhang Jinlian, who went to tip off the news, were all spared and were silenced before Jin Yiwei arrived. Now, Empress Fang has also taken Concubine Cao Duan away.

As a foreign minister, Lu Heng put all his energy on the emperor today, and didn't pay any attention to the real owner of Yikun Palace - Concubine Cao Duan. Lu Heng hadn't asked, but based on his experience in handling cases, the most unlikely person behind the palace change was Concubine Cao Duan.

Concubine Cao Duan was favored when she was young and had a daughter under her knees. Her father was a prefect in Fujian. What did she plan to murder the emperor? And still in her own palace, there is no such stupid way to be stupid.

What does Queen Fang want to do?

The emperor's heart ailment has not been resolved, and there is trouble in the harem. Lu Heng hadn't slept all day and night, and at this moment, the sun stabbed painfully. Guo Tao also felt that the matter was extremely difficult, and asked in a low voice, "Sir, when Long Live wakes up, I will definitely ask the whole story of this palace change. The court lady who committed the crime has been killed, how do we investigate it?"

Lu Heng also wanted to know how he was going to investigate. Others could be tortured and coerced, but the other party was the queen, what could Lu Heng do?

Everyone was eagerly waiting for Lu Heng to make up his mind. Although this matter has fallen into a dead end, they must have a way. Lu Heng's head hurt even more. He was about to use the strategy of slowing down his troops when suddenly his eyes lit up and he thought of someone.

He seems to have a solution.

Chapter 106 Cooperation

On the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month, the aftermath of the Dongying Assassin had not completely faded away, and there was an inexplicable chill in the wind. Wang Yanqing had already settled the old accounts, and planned to leave the capital after the city gate was completely lifted. In the last few days, she didn't want to make a difference, and as soon as it got dark, she closed the door and prepared to go to bed.

But today, not long after the mansion door was closed, someone suddenly knocked on the side door. Wang Yanqing was unraveling her hair when the maid hurried in and said eagerly, "Madam, Lord Lu is here."

Wang Yanqing took off the hand of the pearl hairpin and looked out the window: "This time?"

"Yes."

Wang Yanqing knew in his heart that Lu Heng was not a targetless person, and even if he wanted to play tricks, he would not raid late at night. Wang Yanqing felt that there might be something wrong, and immediately asked the maid to open the door, and at the same time changed her clothes by herself.

Wang Yanqing's hair was not yet ready when the door was knocked. Wang Yanqing put down the hairpin, a little annoyed: "Didn't you tell him to go to the main hall?"

"It's too late." Lu Heng had already pushed in the door, wearing a black cloak, he stopped at the door, looked directly at Wang Yanqing and said, "I have something to talk to you alone."

Wang Yanqing looked back at Lu Heng, then at the maid, and finally waved lightly: "You guys go down first."

The maids retreated one after another, and Jade was mixed in the crowd. She hesitated to leave Wang Yanqing and Lu Heng alone in the same room, but she looked at Wang Yanqing and finally closed the door as Wang Yanqing ordered. After everyone left, Wang Yanqing stood up from the dressing table and asked, "What do you want to say, Mr. Lu?"

Lu Heng sighed, passed through the floor covering, and stopped in front of Wang Yanqing: "I thought you didn't want to see me."

"If you talk about him again, I'll really drive you out."

Lu Heng walked to Wang Yanqing's side, took her by the shoulders, and asked her to sit down in front of the dressing table: "Continue to brush your hair and talk while you wait."

I haven't seen each other for a long time, and I started to move. Wang Yanqing wanted to push him away, but I don't know if it was because of the mirror image. He lost a lot of weight in the mirror. Wang Yanqing noticed that he was wearing a flying fish suit under his cloak, and that the charcoal fire in the room was so full that he had no intention of undoing the cloak and putting down the embroidered chūn knife. In the end, Wang Yanqing was too embarrassed to do it and asked, "You just came out of the palace?"

Lu Heng sighed lowly, showing a little tiredness: "Yes."

Wang Yanqing fixed her hair with a hairpin, and quietly glanced at him in the mirror: "What's wrong?"

"The emperor was assassinated, and he was just rescued."

Wang Yanqing's hand shook violently, almost dropping the hairpin to the ground. Lu Heng took the hairpin, held her hand and tied the hairpin, and said, "Don't worry, the emperor's body is fine."

But the psychological thing is serious.

Wang Yanqing was so shocked that her whole body became cold, and her hands became cold without knowing it. She said that it felt unusual on the street today. It turned out that such a big thing happened in the palace.

She was terrified and didn't pay attention to the way she and Lu Heng were too intimate at the moment. Wang Yanqing calmed down and asked, "Is the assassin a Japanese pirate?"

"No." Lu Heng couldn't express this outrageous thing for a while, "It's not even an assassin. It's a maid in Duanfei's palace."

These days, Lu Heng has been furiously retaliating against the Dongying people who destroyed his wedding. Although the Dongying people are helping him a lot, but Lu Heng doesn't care, he is angry, and someone will always be beaten. Most of the Japanese went to ambush at the wedding, and there were not many leftovers in the city. These days, under the containment of Jinyiwei, they have basically been eliminated.

Unexpectedly, however, the crisis did not come from the enemy country, but from within. What the dead Japanese pirates, who had been preparing for years and inhumane, could not accomplish, was almost done by a few palace maids.

Wang Yanqing's expression became more and more confused when she heard these words, she suspected that she didn't understand: "Palace maid?"
