Chapter 545 Heartbeat Acceleration
In the palace.
The Hall of Quiet Prayer.
This is the bedroom of Princess Fuyun.
Although Princess Fuyun seldom came back and had lived in Jingqi Palace for only a few days in the past ten years, the palace maids of Jingqi Palace stayed here day by day, year after year, to clean and tidy up the place and trim the flowers and plants.
Therefore, the Jingqi Hall has always been clean and tidy.
Originally, the emperor was going to host a banquet for the eldest princess tonight, but because of the assassination incident today, the palace banquet was cancelled. The emperor and empress only met with her once, comforted her with a few words, and then let her go back to the palace to rest.
Princess Fuyun was being helped to take a bath. As she soaked in the hot water and had her long hair gently combed by the palace maids, she didn't know why she thought of the people she had seen today.
The first person that came to her mind was Situ Bai.
The elegant young man who shone like the bright moon, in his moon-white brocade robe, looked like he was emitting a layer of moist white light among the crowd.
At that moment, she even felt that the man she had always fantasized about standing by her side during her lonely years was like this.
Princess Fuyun stretched out her hand and gently placed it on her heart.
She seemed to be able to feel her heart beating very fast, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.
Just when she was forgetting herself, he saluted towards the opposite side.
She couldn't help but follow his gaze and saw another man.
A completely opposite style.
Dressed in black, he seemed to be aloof from the world, as if the noise around him could not affect him.
"The Princess—"
A senior palace maid who was combing her hair called her softly.
"Um?"
Princess Fuyun opened her eyes.
"Are you going to do something tomorrow?"
"Let's send money and medicine to every household of the people who were injured today." Princess Fuyun sighed softly, looking a little sad. "Let's also ask people what the people say about me after today's assassination."
"Yes." The head maid whispered to comfort, "They will definitely not say a word against the princess. It is the assassins who caused the people's resentment. You are a blessed person in the hearts of the people. They actually dared to assassinate you. The people will not let them go."
"Don't talk nonsense. They love me, so even if there is something wrong, it can't be called public grievances."
"yes."
"Chenxiang," the princess sighed again, "In addition to comforting the people who were injured today, do you think I should also find those gentlemen and thank them? Fortunately, they protected me at that time."
Chenxiang's eyes lit up.
"Speaking of this, Princess, those gentlemen must have admired you for a long time, right? They all protect you like this."
It was a chaotic scene, but one could still clearly see who was the assassin and who was there to protect the princess.
"You're talking nonsense again. What do you mean by admiration? Those gentlemen must be kind-hearted. They would do justice when encountering such a thing."
Princess Fuyun blushed slightly as she said this.
Chenxiang had always been serving the eldest princess and knew her very well. When he saw her like this, he just smiled.
"Yes, yes, yes, whatever the princess says is right. However, the young man who has been protecting the princess is really handsome. With a face like that, we should be able to tell who he is just by asking him, right?"
"You don't recognize him?"
"I don't recognize them, but I have asked someone to inquire about them. His Majesty will definitely send people to look for those young masters today."
"There is another——"
Princess Fuyun was afraid that they had missed that one, so she bit her lower lip and reminded them a little embarrassedly.
"Yes, yes, yes. There is also a young man in a lake blue suit. He should be the son of one of our Da He generals, right? His kung fu is really good. I saw him catch two assassins with my own eyes!"
Yes there is such a one.
Princess Fuyun also saw it, but she was not talking about this person.
"besides--"
"Oh, Princess, are you talking about the one wearing black clothes and a strange mask?"
"Yes, that's him."
"That should be a weird person, right?" Chenxiang thought of that person and felt a little timid. He didn't know why there was anything scary about him, but it was a different feeling from seeing other people.
"Why is he a weirdo?"
"The mask he wore was very strange. You couldn't even see his face. The eldest princess is returning to the capital. It's such a grand event. Everyone is eager to dress up so that you can see them and remember them. What on earth is he trying to do by wearing such a mask?"
"Maybe he just doesn't want to be recognized."
"It could also be that he is extremely ugly." Chen Xiang said, "Anyway, there shouldn't be anyone who is more handsome than that Yue Bai Gongzi, right?"
That's true.
Princess Fuyun also felt that no one could be more handsome than him.
But she didn't know why, she was very curious about the masked man.
"Your Majesty has already sent people to interrogate the captured assassin. Princess, you should rest early."
Princess Fuyun nodded.
She was tired of thinking.
I want to go and ask tomorrow whether those gentlemen have been found.
The emperor received the news from the Tianlao late at night. The two assassins only said a name and then died of poison.
"That's ridiculous! Didn't you say you searched the person after you caught him? How could you give them the chance to die from the poison?"
The emperor was furious.
If the assassin is not caught this time, not only will it be difficult to explain to the princess and the people, but even he himself will be so angry that he will die!
The good fortune of Princess Fuyun is closely related to him!
Assassinating Princess Fuyun is almost equivalent to killing him!
Because tonight his head seemed to be aching again. Originally, after the eldest princess returned to the capital, he felt much more energetic and better, but now the dull pain started again.
This must be because Princess Fuyun was assassinated!
If he didn't catch the assassin, he was afraid that his body would be affected.
"Your Majesty, we have searched, and we never thought they would have such tiny poison clips in their tooth holes."
"That's because you didn't search carefully enough!"
"Your Majesty, calm down."
"Calm down? How can I calm down? Someone actually dared to be so bold as to assassinate the princess! Tell me, what name did they say?"
"They say that the Barbarian City—"
"What?"
The emperor stood up suddenly.
"Barbarian City? Are you sure you're talking about Barbarian City?"
"That should be right, just these two words."
The emperor paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, looking very annoyed.
"Why is it called a barren city? What does it have to do with the princess?"
He couldn't figure it out.
"Your Majesty, do you remember? There was a man who was exiled to the Barbarian City."
"Who?" The emperor thought about it carefully, his face changed, "Shen Qiong?!"
"That's right. Shen Qiong was exiled to Barbarian City because he was suspected of being the leader of the Shenyi Sect."
The emperor's expression changed several times.
Shen Qiong?
What else can he be capable of?
