Chapter 109 The Second Prince was assassinated again

As they were talking, Lan Ying came in from outside.

"Miss," Lan Ying bowed and looked at Qiong Hua, "I have something to report."

Qionghua naturally understood what Lanying meant, so she took the initiative to say goodbye and leave, while Jinxin and Jinyu also hurriedly followed her out of the inner room. In the past, the two of them also listened together, but now they couldn't let Miss Qionghua feel isolated, so they followed her out together.

Lan Ying has been investigating the assassination of the crown prince in Mingjing Temple these days. As soon as Lan Ying arrived, Concubine Chen guessed that it was related to this matter.

"Miss, I have been tracking Eunuch Lin these days. Although I haven't found him, I have confirmed one thing. Eunuch Lin must still be in the palace and has not left." Lan Ying raised her head and glanced at Concubine Chen Gui. "In the case of the assassination of the prince in Mingjing Temple, I also found out that the person behind the little monk was Eunuch Lin."

Concubine Chen Gui was also shocked when she heard this: "I didn't expect there was such a person in the palace. You should continue to keep an eye on him and inform the Crown Prince. Now that there is such a person hiding by your side, you must be careful everywhere."

"Forget it." At this point, Concubine Chen Gui suddenly stood up and said, "I'll go to Xingyang Palace. You just go and check the identity of Eunuch Lin."

When Concubine Chen brought her beautiful gifts to Xingyang Palace, she happened to pass by Prime Minister Lin.

Jin Xin asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, what is Prime Minister Lin doing in Xingyang Palace?"

Concubine Chen Guifei just shook her head, confused.

Seeing Consort Chen Gui coming, the prince quickly put down what he was doing and went to greet her: "Aunt has just recovered, why are you here?"

He looked at Concubine Chen Guifei with a guilty look on his face and said, "I have been busy today and have not had time to visit my aunt! I am the unfilial son."

Concubine Chen Guifei pulled up his arm and shook her head gently: "Your first priority now is to help His Majesty handle government affairs. I have always been in good health, so you can rest assured."

After saying this, she turned around and showed the prince: "Look, your aunt is fine now."

The prince just smiled.

"Why did Prime Minister Lin come to your place today?"

The Crown Prince chuckled as he heard this and looked at Concubine Chen Guifei: "During the morning court today, Father looked very uncomfortable. He just said he had a headache. After the morning court, he went straight back to Longsheng Palace to rest."

"It was already healed a few days ago," Concubine Chen frowned upon hearing this, "Why did it suddenly get worse again?"

The prince took a deep breath and said, "I don't know. I think it's because there are too many affairs in the court recently and I am too tired."

Lu Xingwan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

[I think he has too much work to do in the harem and is too tired. Who asked him to take in so many concubines? He deserves it.]

[Oh, forget it. He is my father after all. He was a man who loved me in the past. I will just pray for him reluctantly! ]

【I hope my father can recover soon. 】

Concubine Chen Guifei was also helpless when she heard this, Wanwan has always been such a naughty child.

The prince continued, "So if today's affairs are not urgent, just postpone them. Prime Minister Lin came to me because of something urgent."

Concubine Chen Guifei just nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

The prince wanted to say more: "Jin Yu and Chu Yan are coming back."

"So fast?" Concubine Chen Guifei couldn't help but be surprised, "Are they both okay? Have they dealt with everything?"

The prince nodded and said, "It's all taken care of. Jin Yu wrote to me saying that Chu Yan is very capable. Although he is only less than ten years old, he is very strategic in doing things. He will definitely be a talented person in the future."

"But..." The prince hesitated after saying this.

Concubine Chen Gui only then noticed his abnormality and asked hurriedly, "Jin Yao, what's the matter?"

"Jin Yu said in the letter that they encountered the assassin again when they were less than halfway back from Jianzhou."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Chen stood up suddenly. Another assassin?

"But are you injured?"

"Don't panic, aunt." The prince knew that Concubine Chen had experienced several assassination attempts, so he was extremely worried now.

Just as he was about to say something, he saw Concubine Lan stumbling all the way to Xingyang Palace.

He grabbed Concubine Chen Gui's hand and said, "I heard that Jin Yu encountered an assassin?"

Concubine Chen Gui looked back at Concubine Lan in confusion, and Concubine Lan calmed down: "I just heard the news and went to Yu's study. I heard that His Majesty was not feeling well today. I went to Qingyun Palace and heard that you came to Xingyang Palace..."

The prince hurried forward to comfort her: "Don't worry, Madam Lan, Jinyu is fine."

Only then did Concubine Lan calm down.

Concubine Chen Guifei asked, "How did Sister Lan know this news? Even I only heard about it after I came to the Crown Prince's place."

"I went to the study to see His Majesty, but I didn't see His Majesty. Instead, I saw Concubine Ning walking from Longsheng Palace to Ninghe Palace. She told me about it." Concubine Lan had no doubts about Concubine Ning. "I think His Majesty told her."

Concubine Chen Guifei was very uneasy.

[It's Concubine Ning again? Why are all the things that happened these days somehow related to her? ]

[The Great Chu Emperor in the storybook has always been the one who can distinguish the former dynasty from the harem. How could he easily reveal such a thing to Concubine Ning? ]

[If this matter is not related to Concubine Ning? Concubine Lan would not go to the Emperor of Great Chu to verify this matter anyway, so she revealed this matter to Concubine Lan without any scruples! ]

Concubine Chen Gui, however, caught onto something else and turned to look at Jin Yu: "Is Concubine Ning feeling better?"

Jinyu just shook her head: "I haven't heard of it, but I went to Ninghe Palace to visit her yesterday, and Concubine Ning was still lying on the couch."

Concubine Lan explained the doubts to the others: "I asked Concubine Ning when I met her just now. She just said that she was almost well. Now that His Majesty has a headache and needs her care, the servants carried the sedan chair to Longsheng Palace."

These things suddenly exploded in Concubine Chen Guifei's mind at the same time. It seemed that something linked these things together, but she couldn't grasp it.

At that moment, he had a bold idea: "Jin Yao, send someone you trust to visit His Majesty at Longsheng Palace. If His Majesty is awake, tell him about Jin Yu's assassination and see how he reacts."

"Empress Chen is suspicious..." The prince immediately understood what Concubine Chen meant, and immediately sent Zhongping to Longsheng Palace.

The rest of the people were just waiting in Xingyang Palace, not caring about anything else for the moment and just waiting for news from Zhongping.

Not long after, Zhongping came back jogging.

He did not even bother to rest, and panted and said: "When I went to Longsheng Palace, Concubine Ning was serving Your Majesty. But when I reported the assassination of the Second Prince, Your Majesty did not seem shocked. I think he really knew about it."

Concubine Chen Gui nodded and said, "It seems that I was worrying too much."

But what I was thinking about was, didn't Concubine Ning go to Ninghe Palace just now? Why did she go back again?
