After resigning, I switched to fortune-telling

Chapter 69

The arrow was too fast, too sharp, and too fast to guard against, Xie Tangru couldn't react for a while, but his body had already reacted one step faster - he subconsciously stretched out his hand to push Shang Qingyao.

At the same time, a loud shout came from among the flowers: "Be careful, Your Majesty!"

A shadow rolled out and flew towards Shang Qingyao, and then Xie Tangru heard the sound of arrows sinking into flesh and blood, and the person who ran out from the flowers—Chen Huizhou rolled his eyes and passed out.

An arrow with a red tassel tied to its tail feathers was stuck on his shoulder, and bright red blood spilled from the blue robe, dyeing it in a dark red hue.

Xie Tang seemed to be in a trance, only feeling dizzy and dizzy.Then he heard the orderly steps of the imperial guards guarding the palace, the sound of swords colliding, and Song Xuan's cold shout, all intertwined under the pale moonlight.

…………

"Mr. Chen's life is safe, and his injuries are not too serious. Fortunately, he didn't hurt his vitals." The imperial doctor Ling, who was over half a century old, said tremblingly while holding a medicine box.

Song Xuan raised his eyebrows: "Then why hasn't he woke up yet?"

"This..." The Imperial Physician Ling stroked his beard and pondered for a while, "Young Master Chen was probably shocked, and he hasn't come back for a while."

Song Xuan: "..." The co-author was so frightened that he passed out.

He looked back and saw that Xie Tangru had already sat on the side of the bed at some point, looking down at Chen Huizhou. The wide sleeves of the prince's purple robes were hanging down, and the silver thread embroidery reflected strands of luster. Let people know that their status is precious.

He looked at Chen Huizhou, wondering what he was thinking.

Song Xuan quickly withdrew his gaze, and raised his voice: "Mr. Chen's injury needs to be recuperated. It's better for the son not to have him."

Xie Tangru raised his eyes slowly, he found that Song Xuan was particularly hostile towards him today, and he didn't know where this hostility came from.

However, there was nothing on Chen Huizhou that required his special attention, so Xie Tangru didn't stay long, and took advantage of the opportunity to enter the inner room.

The servant is administering medicine to Shang Qingyao.Although the arrow didn't hit directly, it still brushed past his arm, leaving a bloodstain.

——If Chen Huizhou didn't block that blow, there probably wouldn't be such a bloodstain.

After the good medicine was given, the servants were dismissed, Xie Tangru said: "I'm afraid today's assassins are a little weird."

That arrow was not aimed at Shang Qingyao's face, even if the arrow really hit Shang Qingyao, there would be no danger of his life - but this is definitely not the case for a well-planned assassination A fatal error should occur.

Unless the opponent's purpose is not to assassinate Shang Qingyao at all.

"I've sent someone to investigate." Shang Qingyao also thought of this, his face was solemn, "Have you ever been surprised today?"

"No." Xie Tangru said with a relaxed tone, "It didn't hurt me."

"That's good." Shang Qingyao smiled.

The two talked for a while, and the servant came in and reported that Wei Guogong was outside the palace, waiting to take the eldest son home.Xie Tang subconsciously glanced at Shang Qingyao, Shang Qingyao bent his lips, "Go."

Xie Tang didn't want to leave the palace at all tonight. He had an intuition that something important might happen today, but his father suddenly wanted to call him back, and it wouldn't be out of nowhere. He thought about it and said to Shang Qingyao: "Then I'll go back tonight first." gone."

Sure enough, his father was waiting outside, reeking of alcohol, at least three jars of wine at the banquet, the father and son tacitly walked out of the palace side by side, Wei Guogong said: "Is something wrong in the palace?"

Xie Tangru nodded: "I can't hide it from you, someone assassinated in the Imperial Garden tonight."

"Is it about you?"

"No." Xie Tangru said, "You know that since I've decided to stop, I won't do any more useless work. And the assassination tonight... I don't think it's aimed at His Majesty."

"If it's not targeting His Majesty, then it's targeting you." Wei Guogong squinted his eyes. Seeing from this angle, he and Xie Tangru had a strange resemblance.

Xie Tangru was playing with half of the jade pendant in his palm, "I'm just a little prince, what use is it for me?"

Although his tone was still casual, he already had some confidence in Wei Guogong's judgment.The purpose of the assassin was not to assassinate Shang Qingyao, then there could only be a deeper conspiracy... At this time, there are actually not many people who can insert their hands into the palace, and Xie Tangru already has a candidate in mind.

"It may have something to do with your mother, or it may be your bad luck."

"You know about my mother?" Xie Tangru ignored the second half of the sentence.

"I don't know. I guessed it." Wei Guogong said confidently, "I never lied to you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even know that your mother is from the Guifang clan."

"Then how do you know what happened tonight?"

"When I was leading the army, I had no intention of dealing with the Guifang clan twice. The people in this clan...except for your mother, are not very smart, and they like to stir things up when they have nothing to do." The Baiyue in the south teamed up to trick me... Huh, anyway, if you have any bad things, you can just think about them."

…………

After Xie Tangru left, Song Xuan walked into the inner room.This is not the palace where the emperor used to live, but it was the closest palace when the assassination took place.

"Is everything handled properly?"

"Yes." Song Xuan bowed his head, "I didn't alarm the courtiers, Chen Shangshu's ministers have already notified the scope of this matter - except for Wei Guogong's son, it will never go beyond the palace."

Shang Qingyao: "Recently, you seem to have a lot of prejudice against Duke Wei's son."

"It's not that I have a prejudice against him." Song Xuan arched his hands in salute, "It's that I have recently secretly investigated something related to Duke Wei's son, and I haven't found a chance to report it to His Majesty." He took it from his sleeve pocket Take out a secret booklet and hand it over with both hands.

The author has something to say: [Because there is a very important plot coming up, it is better to finish it in one breath, so I will stop here today.Chirp.After writing this part of the plot as planned, it is almost the end, but I feel that I can write for a long time. 】
