The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Chapter 212 Assassin

Who knew that when he looked up, he saw Concubine Liang on the side also scratching her hand secretly.

Xie Run was about to give a reminder, but he had already reached the palace gate.

Only after hearing a loud jeer did Xie Run see that a trainer was leading four monkeys to perform in the hall.

There were people all around her, so she had to go back to her seat and sit down.

As soon as she sat down, Concubine Liang realized something was wrong and turned to look at Xie Run, "Sister Xie, you are..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a scream.

"There are assassins!"

"There are assassins!"

A large group of people immediately surrounded the emperor and Concubine Chen.

Xie Run subconsciously grabbed King Jing's arm and said, "Your Highness, let's hide behind the pillars!"

As early as when he entered the palace, Xie Run had already prepared in his mind where to hide if he encountered danger.

King Jing was also stunned, still in shock at hearing about the assassin.

When he suddenly heard Xie Run's words, he reacted and stood up to pull out the sword from the guard behind him.

A cold sword flashed before Xie Run's eyes.

King Jing instructed: "Take the girl and hide, don't wander around if there's nothing to do!"

After saying that, the man went out.

Xie Run saw that King Jing was skilled in martial arts, so he ignored him and without saying a word, he grabbed the hem of his skirt and hid behind him.

I vaguely saw a man rushing towards the emperor with a knife.

It was blocked by a long sword that came out from the side...

The crowd was so chaotic that Xie Run hid in a corner and scratched his hands secretly.

It's so itchy!

After a while, the emperor shouted with sadness and anger: "Call the doctor, call the doctor quickly!"

"Sangsang, please don't get into any trouble. If anything happens to you, how can I live?"

……

Xie Run, who was standing by, thought that the emperor's voice sounded strong and powerful, and he estimated that he could live another ten or twenty years.

After hearing this, Dan Tao asked nervously, "Master, could it be that this assassination is aimed at Concubine Chen?"

The Imperial Concubine Chen's name was Lu Caisang, and her nickname was Sangsang.

Xie Run shook his head quietly and waited quietly for this farce to end.

Zi Hu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Master, Concubine Wu smells like Qian Xuexiang."

Xie Run was startled and looked at her, "Are you sure?"

"This servant is sure!"

"Actually, I smelled it the first time, but it was faint, so I wasn't sure. Just now, during the chaos, I deliberately bumped into Concubine Wu and confirmed that she smelled like Qianxuexiang."

Xie Run: "So it's Prince An..."

A little surprising, but also expected.

Princess Su's move on Prince Jing's offspring was actually a reminder to other princes.

As long as we can make some changes to King Jing's offspring, we can cut off King Jing's path to becoming the crown prince.

It’s okay for Xie Run to worry about it.

Now it is the one in Concubine Lian’s belly, and then it will be her son.

Nothing happened to the emperor, the commotion in the palace was only temporary.

Something happened to Concubine Zhichen.

Poisoned!

When the imperial physician arrived, it was too late to save Concubine Chen. She finally collapsed miserably in the emperor's arms.

Before she died, she held the emperor's hand and said that she missed the eighth prince and her unborn son, full of resentment and regret.

In fact, she just wanted the emperor to avenge her.

The first person that came to Xie Run’s mind was the queen.

Only the Queen could easily reach out to Concubine Chen's food at the banquet, and only the Queen wanted to see Concubine Chen die so miserably.

The emperor was furious, and King Jing, King An and others knelt on the ground.

The emperor snatched the sword from King Jing's hand and shouted angrily, "I will kill that bitch with my own hands!"

Xie Run's heart was pounding.

King Jing and King An stood up together to persuade the emperor.

"Father, the unfortunate poisoning of Concubine Chen is one thing, and the assassins who are lying in wait to kill her are another!"

"The most urgent task is to apprehend the assassins, and then slowly investigate the poisoners!"

The emperor was angry for a while, then listened to the advice of his two sons.

After all, his life is more important than Concubine Chen's.

"Never mind, I'll just listen to you!"

"Old Five! I'll leave the poisoning to you! If you find out which bitch did it, I'll make sure she dies with me!"

The emperor shouted with gritted teeth, as if he had already determined that it was the queen, but unfortunately he couldn't say it directly.

"Sixth Brother! Take your men to investigate the assassin. I want to know who wants to kill me?!"

The two princes received the order at the same time.

The emperor retreated under the protection of everyone.

Before leaving, he glanced at the Third Prince who was kneeling beside him, and couldn't help but kick him on the shoulder: "Useless thing!"

Prince Wei fell to the ground, his head lowered and his expression unclear.

However, when Prince Wei fell, Concubine Rou was exposed kneeling behind him.

Xie Run just happened to see the uncontrollable smile on Concubine Rou's lips, and she was looking in the direction where Concubine Chen left.

She was wrong. In fact, there were many women in the harem who hoped for Concubine Chen's death.

This scene in the palace is really exciting.

In comparison, Prince Jing's Mansion is really much inferior.

It was not until the end of the hour of Hai that Xie Run finally met King Jing.

King Jing rushed over, expecting to see Xie Run pale with fear, but she turned out to be quite calm.

I still feel like warming myself by the fire.

Only when I got closer did I realize that Xie Run's hands were red and swollen, and there were even some marks on his face.

He frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Dan Tao was about to cry, "Your Highness, my master and Concubine Liang came back from changing clothes, and my hands suddenly started to itch. I can't stop it, and only warming myself by the fire can make it feel better."

"Now, in such a short time, the itching has spread to my face... If a scar is left by accident, my face will be ruined."

Xie Run said calmly, "Zihu said that maybe there was raw lacquer in the water used to wash hands, which caused the discomfort... Just take good care of yourself and you'll be fine."

King Jing wanted to shake Xie Run's hand, but Xie Run dodged him.

"Your Highness, this stuff is really powerful. It makes my whole body itch like crazy after getting a little bit of it on me." Xie Run said with a smile, "I even suspect someone is playing a prank on me, just to make me suffer."

After all, if you add more raw lacquer to the water, Xie Run might have allergic reactions all over his body, which would be uncomfortable.

The itching is just a little bit now, which shows that not much is added to the water.

Of course, this thing has a smell, and it will be easily discovered if you add too much.

This method, no matter how you look at it, seems to be just to make Xie Run suffer a little, a bit of a joke.

King Jing patted her shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I will not let you suffer in vain."

Xie Run asked again, "I heard there was an assassination attempt? Is Your Majesty in any serious trouble?"

"No problem."

Xie Run pretended to be relieved.

King Jing watched her acting with a smile.

After getting on the carriage, Xie Run leaned lightly on King Jing's shoulder.

There was silence in the carriage for a while, and then King Jing slowly spoke: "Sui Sui, don't you want to ask me anything?"

Xie Run: "I do, but I dare not ask. After all, today's matter involves royal secrets."

"If it is possible, the prince will tell me. I'd better not ask such stupid questions."
