Chapter 339 Assassin

A figure dressed in black suddenly appeared from nowhere. The man was wearing a mask and holding a sharp weapon in his hand. He stabbed straight at the emperor's heart. No

one expected that an assassin would appear in the palace with such strict guards, and he appeared so blatantly in the emperor's bedroom.

Normally, everyone who entered the palace and approached the emperor would be searched very carefully. No one should be able to bring anything slightly sharp to the emperor. But the assassin in front of him actually used a sharp knife!

No one reacted. Everyone stared at the assassin rushing towards the emperor like an arrow from a bow. At this time, Anyueya, who had been squeezing beside the emperor, moved.

She ran towards the emperor without hesitation, and threw herself in front of the emperor.

I don't know if it was because of Anyueya's sudden action, the assassin seemed to be stunned for a moment, and the knife did not stab directly into the heart, but stabbed Anyueya's arm. It was not

until this time that the people around reacted, and all this happened in a flash.

"Come and catch the assassin!"

The eldest princess gave an order, and the guards hurriedly rolled and crawled on the ground and captured the assassin on the spot. The emperor's face was pale, and his lips trembled as he pointed at the assassin.

He didn't understand why his luck had been so bad recently. First, he was poisoned by a snake and was on the verge of death. After the poison was finally cured, an assassin came again. If Anyueya hadn't blocked the knife for him, he might not have been the king of a country.

Anyueya's eyes were red, but she didn't cry at the first time, but ran to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, are you okay? Yueya is really worried about you. I always feel that you are like my father. I saw you in danger and I rushed to you unconsciously."

The emperor's eyes revealed a moving look. He really didn't expect Anyueya to sacrifice herself to save him.

Qin Xixi, who reacted at this time, felt speechless for a while.

[I really don't understand, is this the only trick their family can do? Concubine An also proved herself by sacrificing herself to save the emperor. Now Anyueya also wants to use this trick to get the emperor's favor. ]

Qin Xixi is not the only one who thinks so in her heart, but there is no way. Now the emperor is indeed partial to the An family. And there is no direct evidence that Anyueya planned all this.

They could only watch as the guards took down the assassin and brought him before the emperor. The emperor was very angry and interrogated the assassin, but he didn't say a word, even under torture.

However, someone noticed a very strange mark on the assassin's body.

At this time, Xiao Wu looked at the mark and said strangely: "It's the mark of the Miao people. Why does the assassin have a Miao mark?"

Everyone looked at the place he pointed, and sure enough, the assassin had a strange mark on his body.

However, if it was really a Miao assassin, then everything could be explained, because the cricket was originally a poison passed down among the Miao people. And the cricket caused the disease of everyone in the palace.

"So it was the assassin who secretly set up this situation."

The emperor said doubtfully. The eldest princess and Pei Xuanyi said nothing. They couldn't make a decision so easily. However, according to the current situation, if there is no more direct evidence, they may have to treat the assassin as the mastermind.

The emperor had already had some clues at this time, so he handed the assassin to the eldest princess and Pei Xuanyi for interrogation.

"You two come to interrogate him, and you must know what they are going to do!"

From what the emperor meant, he already regarded the assassin and the people behind him as the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Summon the imperial physician to treat Anyueya."

While interrogating this person, the emperor did not forget to find the imperial physician to give Anyueya a thorough diagnosis and treatment, and to use the best medicine in the palace to avoid leaving scars. It was not

until the assassin was taken away that the area around the emperor's bedroom became peaceful. At this time, the palace was filled with a joyful atmosphere. It seemed that everyone felt that this disaster brought by the insects would eventually be quelled.

But some people didn't think so. At least Qin Xixi was bored and had a frown on her face, but she could do nothing about it.

But Xixi couldn't think of where the evidence was, so she could only sit on the palace wall in a daze.

If Qin Shu saw Qin Xixi like this, she would naturally go forward and carry Qin Xixi down, but now all of them were packing up and preparing to leave the palace, so Qin Shu naturally had no time to look after little Xixi.

Now, there was only Pei Xuanyi beside little Xixi.

Pei Xuanyi saw that Xiao Xixi was in a very bad mood, so he simply sat with her on the palace wall.

"Xixi, do you have any unsolved doubts in your heart?"

Xiao Xixi had a lot of doubts in her heart. She saw that Pei Xuanyi did not completely believe that the assassin was the mastermind, so she excitedly babbled to Pei Xuanyi.

[Hey, the assassin should not be the mastermind, but now the words of the imperial physician and the mark on the assassin, and the fifth brother said that it was the mark of the Miao people, all of this proves that the assassin is the mastermind. Well, even Xixi couldn't think of how to refute this fallacy. ]

In fact, if Xiao Xixi hadn't known in advance that An Yueya was infected with a mother worm, she might have been confused by them.

Now, everyone in the palace thinks that this disease is caused by the Miao people, and the emperor is ready to deal with some Miao leaders.

[Do the Miao people really have such great ambitions? They are now in the border area and do not interfere with each other. Moreover, Daliang provides a lot of subsidies and resources to the Miao people every year. Why are they so desperate to come and destroy the peace of Daliang? ]

[However, this snake poison is indeed a technology that only the Miao people can master. Hmm... Could it be that Anyueya has coerced the Miao people, or controlled them through some means, so that the Miao people are willing to work for Anyueya! ]

Both of them knew that Anyueya was definitely responsible for this incident. Thinking about it this way, Xixi's guess might not be unreasonable.

Pei Xuanyi also fell into deep thought

. "Xixi, don't worry. Even if I can't see anything for a while, I will definitely find out the truth of this matter and won't let Anyueya escape so easily."

Pei Xuanyi wanted to find out the truth of this matter not for the stability of the palace, but because Xixi would feel uncomfortable if Anyueya was not caught.

Only by successfully telling the truth of this matter can Xixi be happy.
