Chapter 268: Assassinated

The day after returning from Lingyin Temple and the day after the ceremony of worshiping the sky ended, a group of people led by Empress Dowager and Nangong Yan came to the Royal Ancestral Hall again, and Huangfu Yuqing, who was the daughter-in-law, was naturally included.

The tributes on the altar are really not burnt. In addition to fruit and pastry, there is also a golden roasted pig. When worshiping the ancestors, the Empress Dowager never forgot to say something in her mouth: "The ancestors are here, please protect Lingyue, the country and the country for generations. The emperor has always been diligent in his work and love the people. Please show off your ancestors and keep disasters away from Lingyue."

After saluting one by one, the busy morning was soon spent. Just after everyone followed the emperor and the empress dowager out of the ancestral hall, a slender figure with a beautiful tree suddenly appeared in front of five feet away from Nangong Yan. The guards in front of the imperial guards stepped forward and pulled out the sword with a warning.

"Who is so bold? He actually stopped the Holy Vehicle!" The guard shouted sternly.

When Nangong Yan saw the person clearly, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes. He slowly waved his hand and signaled the guard to let him to the side. At this moment, the man standing not far away trembled slightly: "Caomin begs Lingyue Emperor to release Caomin out of the palace--"

"Mr. Ming? I appreciate and use you so that I will keep you in the palace to build a seismometer. Now, you are in a hurry to leave the palace before the seismometer is repaired. This tone sounds like I have treated you badly!" Nangong Yan frowned, and his tone was obviously unhappy. As soon as he worshiped his ancestors and left the ancestral hall, he was intercepted by Ming Zhaozhi on the road. It was really unhappy.

A complex and strange color was clearly seen in the eyes of Nangong Longjing, who was standing beside Nangong Yan. Before Ming Zhaozhi answered the emperor's words, he spoke first: "Father, Mr. Ming was introduced to the palace by Erchen. Now he has made his father unhappy, Erchen is deeply sorry. Erchen begs to ask his father to deal with this matter!"

When Nangong Yan heard this, his deep eyes became deeper and darker, and he nodded slowly. At the same time, Ming Zhaozhi, who was standing opposite, suddenly changed his expression. The engraved handsome man became green and green, and blurted out: "Please let Cao Min go out of the palace. Cao Min really doesn't want to... he doesn't want to stay here any longer."

Nangong Yan's frowning frowned even more, and Nangong Longjing's face was also not far away. Huangfu Yuqing's clear water eyes flashed through the crowd behind him, and she was secretly wondering what was going on?

"Father, my son thinks... Since Mr. Ming insists on leaving, there must be a last resort. Perhaps the father should ask clearly." Nangong Longkui's mellow and low voice ejaculated. His tone seemed calm, but it seemed to contain a profound and unfathomable meaning, which made people unable to understand his intention to speak.

Nangong Longze stood among the few people, and said quietly without hesitation: "Father, my son also agree with the second brother. Since Mr. Ming insisted on leaving the palace, he was afraid that there was indeed some troubles that he was not left."

Nangong Yan frowned, his sharp and vigorous eagle eyes stared at Ming Zhaozhi again, and looked him up and down carefully as if he was thinking. The eldest prince Nangong Longjing, who was standing next to the man, showed a hint of tension in his eyes, and Xinchang's body became stiff.

"Father, this matter will not be a problem for you. It has been hard enough to sacrifice to heaven and ancestors in these two days. Let's leave Mr. Ming's affairs to his sons." Nangong Longjing's gentle and considerate voice came again.

"No! Please don't... don't hand over the grass people to the crown prince!" Ming Zhaozhi's surprised expression attracted Nangong Yan's attention. He just now felt something was wrong, and now he seemed to notice something strange.

"Take him to the imperial study room to see me." Nangong Yan said this lightly and left without looking back.

Nangong Longjing stood still with a tall and long body. Looking at the vigorous back of his father's departure, a strange look flashed in his eyes. His father wanted to summon Ming Zhaozhi alone, which was indeed not good news for him.

"The emperor seems not good? If you are not feeling well, it's better to go back and rest." Nangong Longkui curled a shallow smile on the corner of his lips. He threw down this sentence in a lukewarm tone, and left without looking back.

Nangong Longkui's words immediately made Nangong Longjing come to his senses. A strange color flashed across his eagle's eyes, and his mind was running quickly. He suddenly realized a very serious problem. Ming Zhaozhi dared to stop Nangong Yan outside the ancestral hall today. Obviously, his courage suddenly grew. If someone had not supported him behind his back, he would have dared not. Nangong Longkui's performance just now was even more provocative, making Nangong Longjing more certain. This incident today was by no means accidental!

"Jing'er, are you okay?" Queen Zhang's apricot eyes showed a hint of worry. Seeing that the second and fourth princes followed Nangong Yan to the study, only Nangong Longjing stopped. She didn't know what happened again?

"No... it's okay!" Nangong Longjing was slightly stunned when she heard the sound. When she touched the mother's concerning eyes, her eyes quickly avoided leaving. When she left, she raised her arms and picked up her sleeves and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

Back in the carriage on the road to Pingnan Prince's Mansion, Huangfu Yuqing held her son and leaned against the man's body, and a bad smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "Today's prince did it on purpose, right?"

Nangong Longzeyun glanced at the woman with a light look, and chuckled, "I don't understand the meaning of my beloved concubine's words. What did I do on purpose?"

Huangfu Yuqing pretended to be indifferent and looked at the cold white man: "Young prince pretended to be confused in front of me. When the second prince spoke today, I felt that it was a coincidence. I don't believe that the prince could not hear the clues. People like the second prince don't like to meddle in other people's business. It seems that he has made sufficient preparations this time."

Speaking of this, Huangfu Yuqing nodded seriously. Although she didn't want to care about the broken affairs in the palace, it was not difficult for the people to guess what the plan Nangong Longkui was currently in, and obviously he was going to attack the position of the prince.

"I said... I don't like you and always pay attention to other men..." Nangong Longze frowned in displeasure, but his tone was not at all unhappy. He walked around the woman's shoulders and brought her and the child into his arms.

"The prince is getting less and less serious..." Huangfu Yuqing pursed her lips and smiled slightly, and her beautiful almond eyes rolled her eyes. Xiao Buli's giggle came from her arms.

"Look, our son is getting more and more cute..." Nangong Longze also grinned and smiled. The beauty was in her arms, and she was filled with a rich happiness.

Just as the family of three was having fun, I suddenly heard a horse galloping outside, and dust rose in the dark night. A strange color flashed in the man's deep eyes, and suddenly said lowly: "Look at the child, I will go out and have a look..."

Huangfu Yuqing's water eyes also flashed with a strange color. In the blink of an eye, the man who was still in the carriage just now disappeared. The woman lifted up a corner of the curtain of the carriage, and immediately smelled a smell of dust under her nose. The water eyes were slightly stunned-

In the dark night, under the misty dust, she could still see a group of men in black riding on horseback surrounded them, each covering their faces, making it impossible to see their true faces. However, the momentum of the hips riding on the horseback was like the surging river water surging, with whirlpools surrounding them, like a river tide hitting the embankment, with amazing momentum.

Soon there was a fierce battle outside, and the swords and swords were clanging. It was probably the fight between the two sides. At this moment, Huangfu Yuqing remembered the girl Feng Ling and was worried about her safety. Although Feng Ling also had some martial arts foundation, her little skill could only be used for self-defense and could not be used in big situations. At the moment, these men in black are coming in full force, and they are obviously first-class masters.

"Feng Ling--" Huangfu Yuqing had just screamed when she felt a gust of wind roaring towards the carriage. A man in black waved his sword in the direction of her. It was not difficult to feel the murderous aura. If his sword cut through the sky, the carriage would probably be split in half from the top.

There was a loud "bang" sound, and the next second the man in black was shaken by a huge palm wind and fell to the ground ten feet away.

The bright red liquid soaked the black cloth covering his face. Then Nangong Longze jumped forward, pulled off the black cloth from the man's face, and shouted coldly: "Who sent you here?"

The man in black looked dark and had a square face. At this moment, the appearance of his accomplice was exposed. Another man in black quickly took action. An octagonal diamond-shaped poison dart flew towards Nangong Longze. The man frowned slightly. He originally wanted to take the dart, but when his eyes clearly noticed the venom on the dart, he changed his mind instantly. The universe under his feet moved and avoided the man in black's hidden weapon. The hidden weapon happened to shoot on the throat of the injured man in black. He only smelled a muffled groan, and the man had died.

"Get into the car, your task is to protect the princess." Ji Lu's mellow and low voice came from the carriage and horses. The next second, the girl Feng Ling was thrown into the car by a pair of powerful hands.

Huangfu Yuqing's water eyes flashed with a strange look. When he saw Feng Ling's girl, she frowned and curled her lips, with an unhappy expression on her face.

"Feng Ling, what's going on outside?" Huangfu Yuqing asked in a low voice.

"I don't know. Those men in black suddenly appeared. They were very skilled. I was defeated in a few moves. If it weren't Brother Ji just now, I would have died under their swords." Feng Ling still broke out in a cold sweat when he recalled the thrilling scene just now.

"These people are coming in a fierce manner and seem to be prepared. Who do they want to take their lives?" Huangfu Yuqing frowned and fell into deep thought. For a while, she really couldn't think of who was the most suspicious.
