MTL - My Beloved Concubine Only Wants to Eat Melons-Chapter 29

Yan Shu almost thought that something was wrong with her ears.

[? ? ? What did you say? Assassinate the emperor? ? ? 】

The system told her very calmly, 【Yes. 】

Yan Shu's eyes widened, her intuition was unbelievable, 【Is she stupid? Why the sudden assassination of the emperor? ? ? 】

System, [Because the King of Liaodong can't wait. Think about it, last night the queen mother said she wanted to adopt Ah Jing, and this matter will definitely affect Xu Jieyu, a mother. The two of them will see each other every day in front of their eyes, so it is difficult to guarantee that Xu Jieyu will return. Listen to him! 】

Tsk, it's also the same reason. If she is Xu Jieyu, the baby will be in front of her eyes from now on. As long as his safety can be guaranteed, why should she listen to that man?

However, in this case, the King of Liaodong had to force her to take action while this "fake Ajing" was still in his hands.

But with so many people present today, no matter whether she can succeed or not, she will definitely have no way out if she does so! !

The system reminded her very calmly again, [Isn't the fate of the spy just like this, if someone finds out at any time, he won't be able to live? Besides, Yu Wenhao paid her a big cake. 】

Yan Shu hurriedly asked, 【What big cake? 】

System, [Yu Wenhao promises to give Ajing the crown prince after he says it is done. 】

Yanshu. 【…】

How is this possible?

That child is not Yu Wenhao's.

Besides, even if it was really her child, even if she really got it done, can Princess Liaodong agree to make her child the crown prince?

Tsk, why is it that even a spy is in love and can't figure it out! !

System, [It can be seen that love makes people mentally retarded. 】

Yan Shu felt exactly the same way, but before she nodded, she suddenly realized a very important question—

【Why didn't you say she was going to assassinate the emperor earlier! ! 】

system,【? ? ? It's not to assassinate you, and the emperor is not the host of this system, why did this system say it earlier? 】

Yan Shu was in a hurry, 【But what if she really kills the emperor? ! 】

System, [wait and see, the emperor is not stupid. 】

The emperor is indeed not stupid most of the time, but Yan Shu has no way to calm down at this time!

[What is stupid? This is a matter of life and death! ! 】

[What if something really happens? Xu Jieyu must be a master to be able to hide in the palace for so long, not to mention Yu Wenhao is here today! ! 】

She can already imagine that once the emperor is assassinated, Yu Wenhao will usurp the throne as the blood of the great ancestor. After all, the emperor has no heirs, and this great grandfather has no fat grandson anymore! !

Even if the ministers want to object, they can't object! !

Look around, those people still don't know anything, Zhou Concubine An Concubine and the others only focus on throwing knives at Xu Jieyu who is dancing, and the eldest princess who looks like a feather duster only knows to throw eyes at others.

And her honest son-in-law occasionally glanced at the dancing Xu Jieyu, and was cowed by her stare, so he could only keep his head down and eat honestly...

Everyone else is toasting the emperor, and the emperor is also looking like he doesn't know anything.

Did he know that someone was going to kill him and he was still drinking? !

If she had known earlier, she would have found a way to remind him, but what should she do at this time?

Stand up now and tell him that Xu Jieyu is an assassin?

Then Xu Jieyu will definitely not do anything again, and she will be thrown out as crazy...

She was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, but the system remained calm.

【So nervous? 】

Yan Shu almost vomited blood, 【The Emperor is my thigh! Once something happens to him, let's not talk about anything else, the Empress Dowager Zhou will have to kill me first! 】

Therefore, the emperor must not have any accidents! !

However, at this moment, Xu Jieyu, who was dancing in the palace, suddenly pulled out the golden hairpin and rushed towards the emperor.

Yan Shu was so excited that she didn't care about thinking too much, she subconsciously rushed out and shouted, "Your Majesty, be careful!"

Damn, let's take a gamble today, the emperor is so good at martial arts, he can easily avoid others peeping at her from the roof, if she reminds her, he should be able to avoid disaster.

But it's a pity that she was a little slow, and couldn't even catch the corner of Xu Jieyu's skirt.

Fortunately, the emperor seems to have been prepared.

At the moment when Xu Jieyu's gold hairpin stabbed him, he withdrew from his seat, but at the same time, more than ten people jumped down from the top of the hall and stood in front of him, like a solid wall, immediately engulfing Xu Jieyu. Jieyu is isolated outside.

Yan Shu was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but Xu Jie turned around and stabbed at her.

At that moment, she saw a flash of golden light, and was so frightened that she quickly hugged her head.

At the same time, Yu Wenlan's voice sounded in his ear, "Be careful!"

But it was too late, Xu Jieyu's golden hairpin had already fallen.

At the same time, the hall was already in chaos.

Concubine Zhou, Concubine An, Wang Zhaoyi and others screamed in fright;

The eldest princess who was disliked by everyone just now also turned pale.

However, her son-in-law hid farther than her.

The bloated-looking eldest princess and her husband have already hid under the seats...

But Yan Shu didn't see any of these, she just felt that she was about to finish the game.

Xu Jieyu's golden hairpin will definitely be pierced into her heart, neck or head, and her second life will probably end here.

Tsk, she wouldn't have jumped out if she knew the emperor was prepared, what the **** is going on?

Sure enough, if you don't listen to the system's words, you will suffer in front of your eyes, woo woo woo...

Yan Shu thought a lot, but the imagined pain never came.

She looked up hesitantly, only to realize that Yu Wenlan had jumped to the front at some point, and grabbed Xu Jieyu's arm before Xu Jieyu stabbed her.

Yan Shu's eyes lit up, she was saved!

However, in the next moment, there was a sudden pain in his arm.

It turned out that Xu Jieyu's arm broke instantly after Yu Wenlan's pinch, but the golden hairpin in her hand also fell down, just barely brushing her right forearm.

Tsk, where is the gold hairpin? It is a knife, and it is very sharp!

Just like that, it actually directly cut through several layers of clothes and her skin.

Yan Shu watched helplessly as her sleeves slowly turned red.

Blood?

She suddenly went limp and lay on the ground.

Damn, she's dizzy.

~~

The moment she fell to the ground, Yan Shu could still hear screams from the hall.

The closest to her ear was the emperor's voice.

"Yanshu..."

Huh? He actually called her that?

Yan Shu thought to herself, apart from being a little anxious, it still sounds nice.

However, before she was allowed to think any more, she lost consciousness.

When she woke up again, she was already lying on the bed in Ganlu Hall.

The imperial doctor was checking her pulse, Liandong called her eagerly, the emperor frowned, Lianxin was already in tears.

Seeing her open her eyes, everyone's eyes lit up, but no one could move faster than the emperor. He approached her immediately and asked eagerly, "How are you?"

Yan Shu called out to His Majesty, "The concubine is fine..."

Yu Wenlan still frowned, "How could it be okay? I was dizzy just now."

Then he asked the imperial doctor, "Is there poison on the murder weapon? Gui Yi was poisoned?"

The imperial doctor hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. The ministers have checked repeatedly, and the murder weapon should be non-toxic."

Yu Wenlan was still worried, and said again, "Then let Guiyi find out."

The imperial doctor could only respond, and gave Yanshu's pulse again. After a while, he dared to report to the king, "Your Majesty, Guiyi's pulse has returned to normal."

Yan Shu finally interrupted, saying, "Your Majesty, I'm fine, I'm just a little dizzy, I just got dizzy when I saw the blood."

Tsk, this is also her childhood problem.

—When I was young, I once watched a servant kill a chicken at home. The chicken struggled desperately. It happened that the servant didn’t catch it well, so the chicken jumped up to her, and the chicken blood splashed her all over. She fainted on the spot. Since then It also fell into this problem.

Seeing that Yu Wenlan was still frowning, she planned to get out of bed to prove it to him.

It was only the arm that had to exert force, but there was a sudden pain, like a needle prick, and she couldn't help but hissed.

Yu Wenlan hurriedly asked again, "What's wrong?"

Yan Shu, "...my arm hurts a bit."

The imperial doctor hurriedly said, "Guiyi's right arm was injured by the weapon, it's better not to move too much, rest and recuperate for a few more days, and the wound will heal."

Yu Wenlan hurriedly said to her, "Don't move, just rest on the bed."

Liandong also nodded quickly, "Whatever the master wants, tell the slaves to do it."

Yanshu, "..."

Tsk, saying so, she was also afraid that the wound would bleed again, so she had no choice but to say hello and lean on the bed for the time being.

Immediately afterwards, the emperor said to her with a complicated expression, "I didn't expect you to come out, aren't you afraid of danger?"

Yan Shu, "...the concubine was in a hurry and didn't think about it that much."

[Damn, I was also worried that Xu Jieyu would hurt you, okay, who knew you were already prepared! 】

Yu Wenlan listened silently.

Although these words were still slandering him, he was not angry at all.

Even full of emotion—

In fact, he had expected the scene just now, so he arranged the manpower in advance.

The other party is coming for him, and nothing will happen to others.

But she didn't expect that she would jump out.

Just now everyone in the hall panicked, except for the guards, everyone else was fleeing on their own, only she still cared about his safety and came out to remind herself.

With her small and frail body, she actually planned to stop that assassin?

It turned out that she was able to give up her life for him.

It seems that he misunderstood in the past that she cared so much about him.

It was the first time in Yu Wenlan's life that she was so emotional, but she suddenly remembered something, and asked him again, "Your Majesty, how is Xu Jieyu?"

Yu Wenlan said, "It's under control, don't worry."

Yan Shu nodded, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

But just now he was in a hurry to bring her back, and Yu Wenlan hadn't had time to deal with this matter.

Then he turned around and told Fu Hai, "Decree to order the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment and the inner court supervisor in the palace to investigate this matter strictly. I want to know who ordered this woman and how she sneaked into the palace to assassinate."

Fu Hai must have gone out to proclaim the decree.

But Yan Shu said anxiously in her heart, 【That grandson of Yu Wenhao did it, don't tell this **** to run away! 】

Yu Wenlan, "..."

Tsk, this is a set of swear words.

But it doesn't matter, this kind of her is also irreplaceable, unique in the world.

Of course, Yu Wenlan is also very clear that the culprit is Yu Wenhao, but there must be evidence to convince others.

He comforted her slowly, "Don't worry, I won't let any villain go."

Yan Shu nodded, and quickly complimented, "Your Majesty is wise."

It was only after the words were finished that a maid came from the Ci'an Palace and said to Yu Wenlan, "The Queen Mother just learned about the assassin in Rouyi Palace, she was very worried, and sent her servants to ask if Your Majesty is well."

Yu Wenlan paused for a moment, then said to Yan Shu, "You have a good rest first, I'm going to visit the Queen Mother."

Yan Shu said yes, and watched him go out.

~~

All the way to Ci'an Palace, Yu Wenlan stepped into the palace, and saw the anxious look of the Queen Mother at a glance.

Seeing him coming, before he could speak, the Queen Mother asked, "How is Your Majesty? Did you get hurt?"

Yu Wenlan said, "I am not injured, please rest assured, mother."

The Empress Dowager looked him up and down, and seeing that he was indeed not injured, she nodded, put her palms together and said aloud to Amitabha, "My ancestors and gods bless you, Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings."

She really looks like a mother who cares about her son.

However, Yu Wenlan heard that the queen mother sighed in her heart, [Fortunately, there was no danger, the time has not come yet, how could something happen? 】

He frowned secretly.

What is timing?

But the queen mother asked him again, "I heard that Li Guiyi was injured?"

Yu Wenlan replied concentrating, "Yes, she was stabbed by Xu Jieyu's murder weapon in order to **** her."

The queen mother sighed, "Poor kid, I don't know how the injury is? Can I ask Zhang Yuan to take a look?"

【Last time, Zhang Shengkang was only 70% sure. Let's take a look again this time. Is it possible to be sure? 】

Yu Wenlan's heart sank, but there was no surprise on his face, "There is no need to work hard to judge the court, the imperial doctor has already gone, and said it was a trauma, and there is no serious problem."

The Queen Mother could only nod her head and said, "Alright, I never thought that Li Guiyi would be so courageous and loyal at such a young age. Your Majesty should praise her."

Yu Wenlan said, "I think so too, and I will reward her when she gets better."

The Empress Dowager hummed, and said, "Don't forget to strictly investigate the woman who assassinated. It's really scary that she has been lying in ambush in the palace for three years."

"I have already controlled it, and brought people from her mother's house to the capital, and I will definitely deal with it strictly."

Yu Wenlan looked at the queen mother and said, "It's because I have been negligent in preventing my mother from being frightened this time."

The queen mother sighed, "There is always one omission in a hundred secrets. Your Majesty is busy with family and country affairs all day long. How can you even notice this kind of thing? Don't blame yourself, but if someone is dereliction of duty in this matter, he must not let it go."

Yu Wenlan should say, "My mother will rest first, and I will take care of this matter."

The queen mother nodded, and Yu Wenlan left the palace gate.

Walking all the way to Qianming Palace, he thought in his heart, when the queen mother saw him just now, she thought that she was lucky to be fine.

It seems that he did not know about the assassination.

Then her plan to adopt Ah Jing has nothing to do with Yu Wenhao.

But just now she still wanted to ask Zhang Shengkang to test Yan Shu's body.

In this way, it is absolutely certain that the queen mother has really guessed his problem, so she plans to adopt Ah Jing, and she is choosing the next heir.

I figured it out, but my heart sank even more.

It turned out that after so many years of upbringing, there was still no real affection at all.

~~

It was late at night, and because Yan Shu was injured, Yu Wenlan didn't want to disturb her rest, so she went back to Qianming Palace.

After washing and changing clothes, I heard that the Minister of Dali Temple, the minister of rites, Huitong, the chief inspector of the inner court, etc. were already waiting outside the hall.

He called people to him and asked, "How is the investigation?"

The Minister of Dali Temple bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, the Xu family has been identified in the prison just now, and it is said that the current Xu Jieyu is not the daughter of the Xu family back then."

This result has been expected.

Originally, Xu Jieyu's natal family was the prefect of Suizhou, but Suizhou was close to Gyeonggi and had nothing to do with Yu Wenhao. If Yu Wenhao wanted to use their identities to recruit people, he must have already dumped the original Xu Jieyu.

Fortunately, he noticed in advance and asked Jin Yiwei to go to Suizhou to verify, otherwise the Xu family could not have rushed to the capital so quickly.

At this moment, he sneered, "Very well, the harem concubine was replaced by an assassin, and no one noticed."

Drafting is the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites. Hearing this, the minister of the Ministry of Rites broke out in a cold sweat, plopped down on his knees and kowtowed, "Your servant is guilty."

Yu Wenlan said coldly, "Check again, I want to know who this woman is."

Everyone should be.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments also reported, "The minister and others have just checked the Lingbo Hall, and have not found any secret letters with the outside world for the time being."

Yu Wenlan said, "If there is a secret letter, she will stay by her side for you to find it?"

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment was ashamed, and hurriedly bowed his head in response, "It's the minister who is incompetent."

Yu Wenlan said, "Check the scarf that the King of Liaodong gave her that day."

scarf?

Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice was stunned, that's right, the only thing that has been imported recently is the scarf.

So he hurriedly responded, and withdrew to investigate again.

Yao Shun, the chief inspector of the inner court, stepped forward again and said, "Your Majesty, the punishment has been used just now, but the assassin's mouth is so tight that he still refuses to confess."

Refuse to confess?

But the king sneered and said, "Just tell her a word, that her child has already died, and now she has this man's substitute."

The chief inspector of the inner court paused, although he was a little puzzled, he responded quickly, and immediately returned to the prison.

About an hour later, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and Yao Shun, the chief inspector of the inner court, came back to answer his orders.

Yao Shun said first, "Your Majesty, she recruited, saying that it was ordered by the King of Liaodong!"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment also hurriedly said, "I was taking apart the velvet scarf, and after baking it with water and fire, I found a line of secret words inside. It was indeed the King of Liaodong who ordered him to do it when he came to Beijing this time."

Yu Wenlan said, "Catch the King of Liaodong immediately."

~~

Just as Yan Shu expected, when the fake Xu Jieyu's assassination failed, the Liaodong Wang and his wife had already run away.

However, the king had been prepared for a long time, so he told Qicai to go to Gyeonggi, but he was arrested again.

In the Qinzheng Hall that night, the important officials of the court gathered together.

On the throne, Yu Wenlan looked coldly at the Liaodong Wang couple who were kneeling down.

"I think I treat you well, why did you send someone to assassinate me?"

Yu Wenhao said, "I was wronged, the assassin was not ordered by me."

Yu Wenlan snorted, "Since you didn't instigate, why did the two of you flee back to Liaodong in such a hurry?"

Yu Wenhao said, "Because I heard rumors that the assassin was identified as sent by me, I was also afraid of misunderstanding."

Hearing this, all civil and military officials in the court laughed. What kind of nonsense logic is this?

At this time, the officials of Dali Temple presented the velvet scarf found in Lingbo Hall again. After some washing and roasting, a line of words appeared in the velvet scarf, "This time is the best time."

But Yu Wenhao continued to quibble, "I don't know why this happened, I'm afraid it's a crime of intentional crime."

"yes?"

Yu Wenlan said again, "Personal evidence and material evidence are intended crimes. The two of you left Beijing without the permission of the court. You were afraid of misunderstanding. Then why did you leave your parents and children in Liaodong and bring other people's children to the capital, falsely claiming that it was you?" Son? This alone is already a death penalty for deceiving the emperor!"

After the words fell, the two of them were really taken aback.

But Yu Wenhao still said, "Your Majesty, I really don't understand what you said. The ones I brought to Beijing this time are indeed my flesh and blood."

Yu Wenlan sneered, "You will understand, they are already on their way to Beijing."

As soon as these words came out, Princess Liaodong visibly panicked, and hurriedly looked at Yu Wenhao, "My lord..."

Yu Wenhao still said, "I have a clear conscience."

The princess of Liaodong is already like an ant on a hot pot. After thinking about it, she couldn't help but said to the king, "Your Majesty, the youngest son is not as bad as we are, not to mention we are innocent."

Yu Wenlan said coldly, "If you recruit them truthfully, I can save them from being implicated by their father."

Yu Wenhao sternly said, "Don't believe him, now that we are in his hands, it's not a word from him to kill or cut into pieces."

Yu Wenlan laughed, "I never lie, not to mention that today the court is full of civil and military officials to testify. If I break my promise in the future, I will be ridiculed by the world."

Seeing this scene, Princess Liaodong thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Please Your Majesty, this is all the idea of ​​the King of Liaodong alone. My wife tried to persuade me, but he couldn't listen..."

…

~~

Early the next morning, Yu Wenlan came to Ci'an Palace.

"The king of Liaodong assassinated and plotted rebellion, and deceived the king. I have cut off his throne and confined him in the suburbs of Beijing. His concubine pleaded guilty and sent him to Yuzhen Palace to practice."

After he finished speaking, the Empress Dowager nodded and said, "Your Majesty is merciful, and Gaozu's spirit in heaven can be comforted."

Yu Wenlan said again, "Although the queen mother likes those three children, they are not Yu Wenhao's flesh and blood, but substitutes he found. I have sent them back to their biological parents."

He paused, then deliberately said, "However, Yu Wenhao's own flesh and blood, if the queen mother likes, I can bring them into the palace to accompany you. They are still young, and if they are raised well, they should become talents."

The Empress Dowager said, "After all, you are the flesh and blood of the rebellious minister. I am afraid that I will be used by others to cause disasters. Let's forget it."

Yu Wenlan quickly said, "In this case, I will order people to send them to Yongfu Temple, thinking that they are the blood of the ancestors, I will order someone to educate them, so as to prevent them from following the path of their father in the future."

The Queen Mother nodded, "Your Majesty is merciful."

But he sneered in his heart, 【It's all right now, isn't the Yuwen family going to be the last one? 】

Yu Wenlan said, "I know that the empress mother is lonely in the palace, and I will work hard to extend the number of children in the future, so that you can enjoy the family relationship to the fullest."

The queen mother smiled, "This is what the Ai family wants to see the most."

But he said in his heart, [I hope you can. 】

Yu Wenlan didn't want to say anything more, so she left Ci'an Palace.

~~

Yan Shu has lived for nearly twenty years, and this is the first time she has suffered such a "serious" injury.

Cough, in fact, the hairpin didn't scratch deeply, she was fine except for a little skin pain.

But Liandong listened to the emperor's words and forbade her to get out of bed.

She endured it for three days, and on the fourth day, she finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Damn, she knew that getting hurt was so uncomfortable, she would definitely pounce on it that day.

It's like sitting in a prison. You can't get out of bed, you can't write in your notebook, and you have to eat sick food with little oil and salt.

Who can stand it? !

The system opened his mouth to comfort her, 【It's a blessing in disguise, but you know it's not a blessing. A small wound may bring good things. 】

Yan Shu didn't believe it, 【What good thing? Forced to lie in bed to fatten up? 】

At this moment, a communication sounded from outside the hall, "Your Majesty is here..."

The system beeped, [A good thing is coming. 】

Yan Shu, [? ? ? 】

However, before the system could answer her, Yu Wenlan had already stepped into the palace.

Yan Shu thought to herself that it was too late to get out of bed anyway, so she leaned on the bed and said, "My concubine welcomes Your Majesty."

Yu Wenlan came to the bed in a few steps, and looked at her with caring eyes, "How is it? Are you better these days?"

Yan Shu originally wanted to say it was okay, but when she remembered what the system said just now, she suddenly changed her mind, so she said with a bitter face, "It still hurts."

Hehe, maybe he will reward her with a sum of money if he feels guilty for a moment!

Yu Wenlan, "..."

Still like money so much?

But what is the use of money in the palace?

He then laughed and said, "You have done a great job in saving me this time, and I must reward you."

commendation?

Yan Shu thought to herself, could this be the good thing the system said?

OK, OK, come on, give her lots of money! !

But I heard him say, "I will order the Ministry of Rites to make a decree to promote you as a concubine later."

Yan Shu was taken aback, "Concubine?"

At the same time, the system spoke again, [The so-called wealth and wealth are found in insurance, congratulations, old man! 】

Yanshu, "..."

It's a good way to seek wealth and wealth.
