Chapter 147 A night passed in a blink of an eye

The group had just reached the small bridge over Fengyi Lake.

The two maids behind Jiang Zhiyu looked at each other and came forward together.

One grabbed her shoulder and the other quickly pushed her to the side.

Fortunately, Jiang Zhiyu was prepared and grabbed Concubine Yu's sleeve.

Concubine Yu screamed and her sleeve was almost torn off.

Jiang Zhiyu saw that she was about to be pushed to the side of the bridge, but she couldn't do anything in the harem.

When she reached the guards at the door of Jiaoxiang Palace, she was quick-witted and shouted:

"Someone come! There's an assassin! There's an assassin - someone is trying to assassinate Concubine Yu! Come and catch the assassin!"

Catching an assassin is as deadly as "a fire"!

The emperor's personal guards, who had not paid attention to this place at first, rushed over quickly after hearing the noise.

Seeing that the guards were about to arrive, Concubine Yu was anxious and whispered:

"Two audacious fools! How dare you assassinate Secretary Jiang in broad daylight!"

She warned the two maids with her eyes and began to protect Jiang Zhiyu with her hands.

The two maids looked at each other, made up their minds, got up and ran.

It was also regarded as taking the blame for the assassination for Concubine Yu.

Concubine Yu was not very kind. The two maids just stood up.

She helped Jiang Zhiyu and shouted loudly:

"Here! The assassin is here!"

The guards with knives surrounded them, looked at Jiang Zhiyu and Concubine Yu who were still in shock, and split two of them to continue chasing.

Two were left to escort them back.

After this commotion, Jiang Zhiyu had no time to change clothes.

While the guards were seeing her off, she returned to the Jiaoxiang Palace as soon as possible.

She stayed away from Concubine Yu all the way.

She avoided her like a snake or a scorpion.

The same was true when she entered the Jiaoxiang Palace.

Upon hearing the news, the emperor and the sixth prince hurried over to express their condolences.

"Minister Jiang, are you not injured? Call a doctor quickly..."

Jiang Zhiyu said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I'm fine."

But she sighed in her heart.

[I was almost killed by your woman! You still have the nerve to ask if I'm okay! ]

The emperor was also surprised when he heard this.

He didn't expect that Concubine Yu would be so brave!

He looked over with a dark face.

Concubine Yu pretended to be frightened and shed tears.

The sixth prince was standing by to comfort her.

"Mother, how could there be an assassin when everything was fine? Did you see the assassin's face?"

Concubine Yu glared at the Sixth Prince in reproach.

This was a risky move, but there was no other way!

Who asked Jiang Zhiyu, who was famous for his medical skills, to treat her?

But now he could not kill her, and he almost got himself involved...

She sobbed.

"It was... it was two maids in the palace. If I remember correctly, they... should have been sent to my palace by Concubine De..."

She looked at the emperor crying, and even wanted to take the opportunity to divert the trouble.

"I think I have been plotting murder for a long time. If Jiang Shishu hadn't been here to help me today, I would have... I would have... Your Majesty! Concubine, I almost didn't see you... Your Majesty..."

Seeing that she was about to throw herself at the emperor's feet, he gave a low shout.

"Check! You dare to make small moves in my harem with the intention of assassinating her. I think she is really impatient! Check her carefully!"

Concubine Yu felt guilty for no reason when she saw this.

But he still kowtowed in thanks.

"Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty..."

The emperor snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and ordered the food to be removed from the table.

Several people just waited quietly, and the sound of a pindrop could be heard in the room.

Finally, after half a stick of incense had passed, the guard came back to resume his duties.

The two maids who escaped were escorted in.

"Reporting to the emperor, it was these two who attempted to assassinate on Fengyi Lake. After escaping, they were about to bite their tongues, but were stopped by our ministers."

"Trial!"

The emperor sat high on the throne.

This order made Concubine Yu tremble all over.

She covered herself with a handkerchief, but secretly glared at the two maids fiercely, with a threatening look on her face.

The two maids trembled like sieves, and glanced at Concubine Yu from time to time.

But after seeing Concubine Yu's eyes, they finally took all the responsibility alone.

They spoke tremblingly.

"Yes, it was

Concubine De who instructed us..." "It was Secretary Jiang who made trouble..."

The two maids tried to speak with one voice.

Jiang Zhiyu was quite disdainful.

[Why are you putting all the blame on Concubine De? Concubine De: Do you think I'm some kind of big victim? 】

【Besides, you assassinated Concubine Yu, why did you push me? I'm in the way... If I'm in the way, you push me into the lake? 】

【Why didn't you assassinate Concubine Yu in front of the dog emperor? Do you think he's in the way? 】

Emperor:...

That's right, there

's no need to do that. He looked sullen, obviously dissatisfied with this answer.

Fuping stood behind the emperor. He was used to observing the emperor's words and expressions, and he immediately realized what the emperor was thinking.

He shouted in a sharp voice:

"Take her away for strict interrogation. If necessary, use all 360 kinds of torture instruments!"

"Yes!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I know I was wrong, Your Majesty, please spare my life--"

"Your Majesty, please spare my life--"

The two maids were dragged away, and Jiang Zhiyu let out a tired breath.

He thought.

[If they refuse to speak, what can we do even if there are 360 ​​kinds of torture instruments, not to mention 360 kinds... They will die anyway, who doesn't want their family to live?]

The emperor heard it and nodded secretly.

If so, maybe we can do the opposite.

Then he pondered and spoke.

"Fuping, give orders to bring the relatives of these two maids to the capital and tell them that as long as they are willing to tell the truth, I can spare their lives!"

Fuping nodded.

Jiang Zhiyu couldn't help but sigh.

[Oh, the dog emperor is good, he knows how to use a soft policy!]

The emperor was speechless.

Concubine Yu felt guilty.

The Sixth Prince saw everything and stepped forward to ask for instructions.

"Father, now that it has been resolved, why don't we have dinner first... Today is mother's birthday, and mother has also been frightened..." Although he

was in no mood to eat after all the commotion, the emperor was moved by
