Chapter 651: The Turn of Times

Kong Chan reacted extremely quickly.

He quickly tilted his head to avoid it.

The fingertips brushed across his eyelids, leaving two bloody marks on them.

Kong Chan was furious: "You actually tricked me?!"

He waved his whisk and wrapped it around Xiao Xixi's neck.

Xiao Xixi tried to struggle, but was thrown away by him.

The whole person was thrown out and fell to the ground in a mess.

Kong Chan touched the wound on his face and looked at Xiao Xixi with red eyes.

"You really don't want to accept my offer. Since you want to die, I will grant your wish!"

He swung the whisk in his hand into the air and attacked Xiao Xixi again.

Xiao Xixi rolled on the ground to avoid his attack.

She didn't fight back. After getting up, she started running around the room in circles, shouting as she ran.

"Help! Taoist Master Kongchan has killed someone!"

She used her inner strength to shout, and directly woke up the palace maids and eunuchs who had fallen asleep in the outer room.

Not only that, even the guards patrolling nearby heard the shouting.

When the palace maids and eunuchs hurriedly ran in around the screen, they happened to see the whisk in Kong Chan's hand wrapped around Concubine Xiao's neck again!

The maid screamed in horror: "Kill, kill!"

After a burst of hurried footsteps, the guards rushed in.

When they saw that Kong Chan had actually committed a murder on Concubine Xiao, they immediately drew their swords and pounced on Kong Chan!

Kong Chan had to let Xiao Xixi go.

Xiao Xixi fell softly to the ground like a weak and helpless little Baihua.

Two palace maids ran over quickly, helped her up and hid aside.

Kong Chan’s martial arts skills are very high, but he cannot withstand the large number of guards. He can’t defeat them, but he can’t escape either.

Later, more and more guards came after hearing the news.

Kong Chan was finally defeated, his weapon taken away, and he was roughly pinned to the ground.

He glared at Xiao Xixi who was not far away and said with gritted teeth.

"You did it on purpose!"

The woman deliberately lured him over, deliberately lowered his guard, and deliberately let him catch her when someone else broke in.

What a sinister intention!

Xiao Xixi covered her neck and looked at Kong Chan with tears in her eyes.

"Wuwuwu, I'm just a concubine of the prince. Even if you kill me, the prince will not let King You go."

Everyone suddenly realized.

It turns out that Kong Chan was really the man planted in the palace by King You.

No wonder Kong Chan came in the middle of the night to assassinate Concubine Xiao.

Kong Chan was so angry that his face turned blue: "You are talking nonsense, I don't even know King You!"

However, no matter how he explained, the guards would not listen.

He ordered the imperial guards to rush to the bedroom and report the matter to Eunuch Ganfu.

The emperor was sleeping at the moment and was suddenly woken up. He was very unhappy.

He sat on the bed with a gloomy face and listened to Gan Fu's story.

Emperor: "Kong Chan really wants to kill Concubine Xiao?"

Gan Fu answered truthfully: "Many people have seen it with their own eyes. It is absolutely true that Concubine Xiao is indeed injured. We have already asked the imperial physician to treat her."

He carefully observed the changes in the emperor's expression and asked tentatively.

"Could it be that Taoist Master Kong Chan is really King You's man?"

The emperor had already begun to suspect Kong Chan because of the frame-up of the King of England. And after what happened tonight, his suspicion index towards Kong Chan skyrocketed.

The emperor said in a deep voice:

“No matter who he belongs to, the fact that he dared to kill someone in the palace is enough to show that he is extremely dangerous.

First, put him in the Dali Temple and interrogate him strictly.

Whether it is the master behind him or the location of the Xuanmen, I want to know it clearly. "

Gan Fu nodded and quietly withdrew.

Originally, the emperor wanted to use his friendly approach to get clues about Xuanmen from Kong Chan.

But now Kong Chan actually dared to kill people in the palace, so he can’t be kept.

Today he dared to sneak into the house at night and assassinate Concubine Xiao. Who can guarantee that he will not sneak into the bedroom and assassinate the emperor tomorrow?

The emperor is now very weak. If he is really assassinated, he will definitely not be able to escape.

He must not leave such a huge hidden danger for himself.

Hand Kong Chan over to the Dali Temple. With their means, they will surely be able to pry open his mouth and dig out everything he knows.

Kong Chan never dreamed that he had just framed the King of England and put him in jail, and then he would be imprisoned as well.

This is probably what the legendary fortune changes.

Although both were imprisoned and tried, Kong Chan was treated far worse than the British king and queen.

The British king and queen are royal relatives after all. Even if they committed a crime, no one would dare to do anything to them as long as the emperor did not speak.

But Kong Chan is different.

He was just a Taoist priest. Without the emperor's favor, he was nothing.

In order to complete the task assigned by the emperor, the Dali Temple planned to use all possible punishments on Kong Chan.

Kong Chan deeply understood what it meant to live a life worse than death.

…

Inside the Weiyang Palace.

Xiao Xixi sat on the bed.

She tilted her head back, revealing the large bruises on her neck.

The imperial physician applied medicine to her carefully.

Gan Fu just stood by and watched.

After the medicine was applied, the imperial physician and Gan Fu walked over and talked in a low voice.

Imperial Physician: "Concubine Xiao's injury is not serious. As long as you apply medicine on time and pay attention to your diet, you will slowly recover after a while."

Gan Fu nodded to indicate that he understood.

After sending the imperial physician away, Gan Fu went back to report.

He relayed the imperial physician's words to the emperor.

After listening to her, the emperor said calmly, "Since she is injured, let her rest well, prepare more supplements for her, and add more people to take care of her."

"Yes."

The emperor thought for a moment and asked again, "How is her copying of the Buddhist scriptures going?"

Gan Fu's expression became indescribable.

“She hasn’t written a single word yet.”

The emperor sneered.

Gan Fu hurriedly said, "I will definitely have someone urge her more!"

Xiao Xixi soon discovered that the number of palace maids and eunuchs following her had increased.

These people were nominally here to take care of her daily life, but in fact they were here to monitor her.

It seems that the emperor is suspicious of her.

These palace maids and eunuchs not only kept an eye on her all the time, but also kept urging her to copy the scriptures quickly.

Xiao Xixi originally wanted to pretend that she didn't hear it, but later she was so annoyed by the noise that she had to compromise.

The palace maids placed the "Earth Store Sutra" and writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone one by one.

Xiao Xixi sat behind the desk, supporting her head with one hand and writing with a brush in the other.

The palace maids looked up and were immediately shocked by her ugly handwriting that looked like ghostly scribbles.

One of the palace maids hurriedly reminded.

"Your Majesty, after you finish copying these Buddhist scriptures, the emperor will conduct a random inspection. If the emperor finds out that you are doing a perfunctory job like this, you will definitely be punished."

Xiao Xixi sighed, tore off the piece of paper covered with scribbles and threw it aside.

She sat up straight, picked up the brush again, and was about to write when she noticed that the palace maids were all looking over here.

Xiao Xixi frowned and said unhappily, "What are you looking at? Go away and don't disturb me while I'm copying books."

The palace maids had no choice but to move to the door.

They watched Concubine Xiao from afar and saw her sitting upright behind the desk, writing with her eyes lowered. Although they couldn't see what she wrote, from her serious and upright look, it seemed that she was not doing things perfunctorily this time.

As long as Concubine Xiao doesn't act perfunctorily, the palace maids will feel at ease.
