"I did receive some bad news."
Xiao Ling pondered for a moment, then vaguely told someone about the assassination.
"After you go down, quickly dispatch a group of top experts from the Heavenly Guards to lurk outside the Imperial City. Remember, do not act rashly at any time. If you spot anyone suspicious, do your best to find out where they've gone!"
At first, Emperor Xian's words only made Mu Ci feel something was wrong, but after hearing the series of instructions that followed, she just didn't understand.
It is indeed unreasonable to let the Tianwei masters ambush outside the imperial city and not capture the suspicious people.
Could it be that someone is trying to harm Your Majesty today?
Mu Ci didn't know where His Majesty got the information, but she still wrote down all the requests.
"Your Majesty, I understand."
"Well, go down and make the arrangements. As for the Yan army, if I don't have any special instructions later, you will set off tomorrow."
"I'll take my leave!" Mu Ci echoed and turned to leave the Zichen Hall.
…
At this time, Chu Mansion.
Chu Yi was in his study, but he didn't feel particularly excited.
“Big Brother!”
A familiar voice sounded from outside the door, followed by Chu Yan's figure appearing at the door.
Chu Yan first glanced around the room for a long time, and seemed not to see anyone else, then he smiled happily.
He also walked up to his eldest brother and whispered, "Brother, I came here to see my sister-in-law who returned to the capital with you yesterday."
Speaking of Chen Tang, he had actually met him once when he was in the palace.
Although he could clearly see the relationship between his elder brother and Chen Tang along the way, when he really asked about it, his elder brother didn't tell him the situation.
As soon as Chu Yi saw him coming up and asking about this matter, his face suddenly turned a little ugly.
"What sister-in-law? You haven't even started dating yet, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Hey, big brother, we are brothers after all. I know everything. Why do you have to hide such a small thing?"
Chu Yan felt that his elder brother was still too distant and couldn't help but express his dissatisfaction in his heart.
After saying that, he put on a smile again and couldn't help but admire.
"Brother, putting everything else aside, my sister-in-law is indeed very beautiful. You have such good taste, brother!"
Chu Yan couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
Chu Yi was speechless, but at this moment he was too lazy to talk to his younger brother about Chen Tang.
"Okay, okay, I don't have the heart to talk to you about these things."
Chu Yi frowned and scolded him, then asked, "Have you arranged everything I told you to do?"
"Uh... Don't worry, big brother, everyone has been arranged!"
Hearing this, Chu Yan also hurriedly assured, and took Chu Yi's hand to confirm again and again, "This matter will definitely depend on the Ministry of Justice to make a final decision, so it still depends on you, big brother."
"Well, just make the arrangements and wait for the show to start this afternoon."
…
Just after noon, there was movement at the Ning'an Gate of the Imperial Palace.
Outside Ning'an Gate, there was a group of eunuchs who were carrying some cloth, vegetables and other goods into the palace.
There were more than ten people in the group, and it seemed that they had just returned from the palace to collect essences.
The palace guards at the gate carefully checked the identities of the eunuchs, and seeing that there was no problem, they let them into the palace.
However, just as this group of eunuchs entered the palace not far away, they secretly went around to the front hall of the palace, deviating from the imperial kitchen where they were supposed to go.
Soon, several people walked a few steps briskly, and took off their outer eunuch clothes, revealing the dark black restraints they were wearing inside.
“Brothers!”
"Target: The Imperial Study in the Purple Palace—Emperor Chengping!"
"Opponent: Unknown for now!"
"Difficulty: A little difficult! But it won't be difficult for us!"
"Dry!"
After saying that, he took a light step and flew to the top of the palace wall.
The people behind also followed closely and caught up with the commander.
After a while, they arrived outside the Zichen Palace as if they were familiar with the place.
But at this time, the eunuchs in the palace were not just sitting there doing nothing, and they soon noticed something was wrong.
Then, someone noticed a group of black-clad assassins approaching the imperial study.
"Quick! There's an assassin, protect His Majesty!"
When the captain of the guards saw the person, he shouted loudly, making the surrounding guards alert at the same time.
When the leader of the black-clad assassins saw this scene, he frowned slightly, but still rushed towards the imperial study regardless of his own safety.
While climbing the palace walls, he quickly threw a lot of strange black and brown objects towards the window outside the imperial study.
When the thing landed on the window, there was a loud bang and a cloud of white smoke rose in an instant.
Looking at the window outside the imperial study, it had already been blown open.
Seeing this, the captain of the guards was startled and quickly changed his strategy.
"You take your men to protect His Majesty, and the rest of you, follow me to kill these assassins!"
As soon as the words fell, the guards quickly split into two teams.
The black-clad assassin was very skilled and had many long-range hidden weapons. He should have been crushing the enemy, but he could not withstand the larger and more numerous guards.
After a while, although many guards were injured and fell to the ground, the assassins could not get close to the imperial study.
In the imperial study, Xiao Ling was still handling government affairs. Since Mu Ci left, she thought it was inconvenient for her to take risks in person, but in the end she did not return to the Chu family.
