Chapter 4 How could the assassination attempt fail?
The man was wearing a black nightgown and had his face covered with a black cloth, and it was obvious that he had come with bad intentions!
This man was quite powerful, and he easily climbed over the wall of the Palace of Repentance, and he didn't make any noise when he fell into the courtyard.
When this man pushed open the door of the living room of the Palace of Repentance, he was shocked to find Liu Ling'er standing in front of him.
He was startled and subconsciously took two steps back.
"Who sent you?"
Liu Ling'er had a stern face, staring at the man with burning eyes.
With her current soul realm, she would be able to sense any movement in the entire Palace of Repentance.
"The Queen sent me!"
The man quickly calmed down.
He knew that Liu Ling'er was only at the second or third level of the Spirit Induction Realm, but he was at the eighth level of the Body Tempering Realm!
Coming to kill Liu Ling'er by yourself is like using a butcher knife to kill a chicken!
"Is it Concubine Su?"
Liu Ling'er sneered. The words that the other party said so easily must not be true.
"It doesn't matter who sent me. The important thing is that you must die tonight!"
After saying that, the man rushed towards Liu Ling'er with a gust of wind.
Whoosh!
When the man rushed to the front, Liu Ling'er just turned her body to the side and easily dodged the man's fist.
The next moment, her right hand tightly grasped the other's neck!
"It seems that the person who is going to die tonight is not me, but you."
Liu Ling'er did not hesitate at all, and broke the man's throat with one hand, and then let go.
The man knelt on the ground immediately, covering his neck with both hands, staring at Liu Ling'er with his eyes.
His eyes were full of doubt and shock, as well as a trace of regret.
After waiting for a while, Liu Ling'er threw the body of the visitor directly out of the Palace of Repentance.
She knew very well that the palace would definitely not be able to find out the identity of the killer.
Just like the palace maid who poisoned her, she committed suicide after completing the poisoning.
And the killer who came tonight is obviously a dead man. If he is captured alive, he must find a way to commit suicide!
...
The Fragrance Palace not far from the Palace of Repentance is Su Ying's bedroom.
At this time, Su Ying was watching her father Su Song and the old lady supervisor Hong San playing chess.
This afternoon, Su Song came to meet the king to discuss military and national affairs, and was then kept by the king for dinner and a few glasses of wine.
After dinner, Su Song asked to see his daughter, and the king agreed.
Because Su Song held a high position in the kingdom, the king ordered the palace's housekeeper, the old eunuch Hong San, to accompany Su Song to the Fragrance Palace.
"I heard that the demons in the west have made a big move again. The Lingxi Kingdom is alone and in danger. Why didn't I hear the commander-in-chief and His Majesty discuss this matter this afternoon?"
Hong San asked curiously after dropping a child.
"General Manager Hong also knows that the Lingxi Kingdom borders the demons' territory. They are often harassed by the demons, and they often see snakes in the shadows and scare themselves!"
Su Song, who was broad-skinned and bearded, picked up the teacup and took a big sip.
Putting down the teacup, Su Song casually said, "If the demons really invade, the Great Xia Empire will not sit idly by. It is not our turn for the Chishui Kingdom to worry about it!"
"That's true."
Hong San nodded and picked up the teacup beside him.
"Hong, it's not good, it's not good!"
At this time, a young eunuch rushed in, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and shouted.
"What are you yelling about! What's wrong?"
Hong San frowned and snorted coldly.
"There is... there is an assassin!"
The young eunuch replied in a trembling voice.
"Assassin?"
Hong San stood up suddenly, "Where is the assassin?"
"Outside the wall of the Palace of Repentance, but he is dead!"
The young eunuch replied.
"Dead?"
Hong San was very confused.
It is rare for an assassin to appear in the palace. After all, there are many powerful people in the palace. It is difficult for ordinary masters to break in, let alone assassinate.
And a very powerful assassin with sufficient strength will not lose his life without making a big noise.
"Is Concubine Liu okay?"
"No!"
The young eunuch replied: "We shouted outside the Palace of Repentance, and Concubine Liu replied."
"General, Concubine Su, Concubine Liu lives in the Palace of Repentance, and Concubine Liu is the blood of the king. This matter is serious, and I have to go and see it myself."
Hong San said hello and left Fenfang Palace with the young eunuch.
Su Ying waved to the two palace maids beside her, and the two palace maids bowed and retreated.
"Dad, how could the assassination fail?"
Su Ying asked anxiously.
"How should I know?"
Su Song scratched his beard, "The palace is full of experts. Since our people died outside the wall of the Palace of Repentance, it is estimated that they were killed by an expert in the palace. In other words, the king ordered people to secretly guard the Palace of Repentance."
The assassin was a death warrior privately trained by their Su family.
Before entering the palace in the afternoon, Su Song prepared a large box, which was not only filled with many seasonal fresh fruits, but also hid the death warrior.
Due to his special identity, the guards at the palace gate did not suspect him, nor did they dare to search for anything he wanted to bring into the palace.
The big box was sent to Fenfang Palace, and Su Ying opened it by herself when no one was around.
Fenfang Palace was close to Siguo Palace, so it was very convenient to assassinate her and it was not easy to be discovered in advance.
"This shouldn't be the case!"
Su Ying was very frustrated.
The king actually sent a master to secretly protect Liu Ling'er, which made Su Ying even more jealous.
"Although there is no evidence left this time, with the wisdom of the king, he will definitely think of me."
Su Song slowly stood up and continued, "We can't do it again in the future, at least not in the palace. If you really can't swallow this breath, try to let the queen do it. In fact, it's best for the queen to do it. If the queen fails and leaves a handle, she may be deposed by the king, and you will have the opportunity to replace her."
"Yes, the queen also hates that little bitch!"
Su Ying's eyes lit up.
"The reason why the queen can keep her temper is that she sees that you can't keep your temper."
After saying this, Su Song also left.
...
The next day.
Early in the morning.
Hong San led two eunuchs into the Palace of Repentance.
"The king has ordered that Concubine Liu is about to give birth and should not stay in the Palace of Repentance. She is allowed to move into the Warm Heart Pavilion to recuperate and wait for the birth!"
"Thank you, king!"
Liu Ling'er bowed slightly.
Hong San ordered two eunuchs to help move Liu Ling'er's belongings.
On the way to the Warm Heart Pavilion, Liu Ling'er took the initiative to ask: "Hong, Chief Steward, I heard last night that an assassin broke into the palace and died outside the wall of the Palace of Repentance. Have you found out the origin of the assassin?"
"Replying to Concubine Liu, it has not been found out yet."
Hong San shook his head and added, "Not only has the identity of the assassin not been found out, but even who killed the assassin has not been found out."
Liu Ling'er knew that Hong San and the king would never think that the assassin was killed by her.
Even she herself felt that the experience during this period was too incredible.
She didn't want to reveal anything for the time being, because she didn't want to be disturbed all the time. She just wanted to give birth to the child safely and then explain everything to the king.
Soon, Liu Ling'er moved into the Warm Heart Pavilion.
For the concubines in the palace, Nuanxin Pavilion is a good place. It was built by the previous monarch specifically for a favorite concubine, Lu Feiqing.
Although Lu Feiqing could not compare with Mu Wanqing's peerless beauty, he was a genius in alchemy. He had refined countless elixirs in his life and even refined a quasi-divine pill.
Unfortunately, Lu Feiqing was too obsessed with refining a real divine pill, and ended up dying in a furnace explosion.
As soon as Liu Ling'er arrived at Nuanxin Pavilion, Lin Heng couldn't wait to sign in.
"Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in at Nuanxin Pavilion in Chishui Palace. The system rewards you with a Nine-Pattern Sun Pill!"
