Chapter 265: As an assassin, Feiyunwei is a professional

"No!" Xie Zhuoning and Song Yuqiu immediately denied it in unison.

It’s better not to tell Yun Heng, that big mouth, about the imprisonment of the crown prince.

Otherwise, I don't know when she will say it and make it public.

Princess Yunheng put her hands on her hips and squinted her eyes, looking back and forth between the two people's faces, and was very sure that they were hiding something from her.

The good sisters they said they were actually having a secret behind her back?

How could she bear it?

He immediately started to tickle their itchy flesh, "Say it or not, say it or not..."

Xie Zhuoning and Song Yuqiu dodged in a hurry, but if they weren't careful they would still be successfully ambushed by her. They laughed so hard that tears came out.

"Alright, alright, stop making a fuss and get down to business." Xie Zhuoning grabbed Yun Heng's hand, his expression becoming more solemn. "We came to the palace this time to ask for your help."

When Princess Yunheng heard this, she pouted and muttered to herself.

I knew they came to the palace on purpose, not just to play with me.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Sister Ning helped her disrupt the civil and military conference so that the Queen could not find a reason to give her a marriage. Of course, she also knew how to repay the favor.

As long as she is not asked to kill the king, she can help with anything.

Song Yuqiu lowered his voice and said, "I want you to take me to Wanshou Palace."

Wanshou Palace was where Emperor Zhaowen recuperated.

Princess Yunheng's eyes widened. "Are you really planning to kill the king?!"

What you fear will come true!

“Puff——”

Xie Zhuoning and Song Yuqiu were both amused by her outrageous guess.

"You misunderstood. We just want to see if His Majesty's illness can be cured. As you know, A-Yu is a great doctor. Maybe he can help His Majesty live a little longer."

"I was scared to death." Princess Yunheng touched her chest and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she didn't understand why Sister Ning and the others did that, she was of course happy to do so if it could allow her father to live a little longer.

She was the only little princess in the palace, and was raised with love and care by Emperor Zhaowen since she was a child.

"But Wanshou Palace is heavily guarded. Even I cannot get in without the Queen's order."

It's not like she hasn't been there before, but she was stopped by the guards every time she went there.

Xie Zhuoning had already considered these issues before coming. "Ayu and I will dress up as your maids. You can just go there in the name of attending to your sickness. Don't worry about anything else."

Princess Yunheng nodded, "Okay, I'll try."

After the three of them made some preparations, they went to Wanshou Palace.

Not only were there soldiers from the Yulin Army patrolling back and forth at the gate of Wanshou Palace, but there were also people from the secret chambers secretly watching in various secret places.

On the surface, everything seems calm, but in reality, there are so many eyes.

Xie Zhuoning whistled, and several dark shadows instantly passed over the roof of the palace.

"There's an assassin!"

The patrolling Yu Lin troops immediately drew their weapons and went after the assassin.

Of course, there were still a few people guarding the gate to prevent the tiger from leaving the mountain.

Princess Yunheng immediately led her people and walked to the door in a swaggering manner.

As expected, she was stopped by someone. "Princess, please stop. No one is allowed to enter without the Queen's order!"

Princess Yunheng showed an expression of "as expected" and glanced at Xie Zhuoning and Song Yuqiu who were dressed as palace maids beside her.

The two men quickly raised a handful of powder and sprinkled it at a few people, whose eyes suddenly became confused.

Song Yuqiu lowered his voice and said anxiously, "Go in quickly, the amnesia powder I just researched is not very stable yet!"

This amnesia powder can make people confused for a moment, and when they wake up, they will completely forget what happened.

But the side effect is that the duration of recovery is uncertain, and you might wake up in the next moment.

The three of them rushed into Wanshou Palace at lightning speed and closed the palace gate.

The guards at the door looked at each other in confusion, "Did anyone come here just now?"

"Looks like an assassin?"

Inside the house, Princess Yunheng covered her mouth, not daring to breathe.

What a risk!

Song Yuqiu raised her head and looked around. "Sister Zhuo Ning, don't you think there is a secret guard hiding somewhere in this hall?"

Xie Zhuoning chuckled, "No, Feiyun Guards are professional assassins."

She sent people to the East Palace to check things out in advance. The Queen was afraid that they were people sent by Prince Yong to conduct a secret investigation, so she immediately transferred most of the people in the Secret Pavilion to the East Palace to protect the Prince.

There were not many people left here, as the four smart and capable brothers had been led away long before they arrived.

Song Yuqiu couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Sure enough, working with Sister Zhuo Ning, I feel so safe!"

Really every aspect has been taken into consideration.

Xie Zhuoning patted her head and said, "Okay, stop trying to coax me with nice words and get down to business first."

The three of them came to the dragon bed. Princess Yunheng saw Emperor Zhaowen lying on the bed and rushed over immediately.

"Father!"

She didn't dare shout loudly and could only call softly, but the person on the bed could no longer respond to her.

Song Yuqiu didn't even feel his pulse, he just looked at his complexion and shook his head, "He's already dying."

The current Emperor Zhaowen is like a completely withered tree trunk, dry and lifeless.

Even breathing is just inhalation, not exhalation. This way of living can only last for a few days at most.

Princess Yunheng's eyes were already filled with tears, and she looked up at her pleadingly, "Is father really beyond saving?"

The two of them started bickering as soon as they met, and it was rare to see Princess Yunheng showing such a weak expression.

Song Yuqiu sighed, "My master did teach me a life-extending method that can prolong the life of a dying person for a period of time."

Whether you can live for one month, two months, three months or five months depends entirely on your luck.

But at most half a year, people will still die.

This is because this method does not cure people, but stimulates and expands the remaining essence and energy in the body through golden needles, which is equivalent to an extended version of the last moments of life.

Princess Yunheng said quickly: "It doesn't matter how long it takes, I just want my father to look at me again and touch my head again, and I will be satisfied."

Song Yuqiu turned around and glanced at Xie Zhuoning, who nodded.

Taking a deep breath, Song Yuqiu took out the golden needles, lined them up in a row, and began to pierce the flesh one by one.

Princess Yunheng was watching from the side, feeling distressed, "Father, you must wake up. You said you would find me the most heroic man in the world to be my consort. You didn't even keep your word and you collapsed."

"Now your precious daughter's marriage is being used as a bargaining chip. Father, you must make the decision for me."

“Father…”

Soon, the captain of the guards and the Yulin army who went to chase the assassin returned empty-handed.

Ask the gate guard if there is anything unusual here.

The gatekeeper shook his head, "No...but..."

"But what?" The captain of the guards became alert instantly.

The gatekeeper thought for a long time and said, "...I forgot."

Chief of the Guards: “…”

Just teasing him!

But soon, he keenly noticed that something was wrong.

There seemed to be some inconspicuous white powder on the ground.

Very little, colorless and odorless.

It was like lime spilling from the cracks.

But why is there lime at the gate of Wanshou Palace?

He walked to the palace gate with doubt in his heart and stretched out his hand to push the palace gate...
