Chapter 716 The Dust Falls(1/2)
Gao Ziyue couldn't help but be stunned. She had never seen Murong Hui so excited.
However, the situation is now chaotic, so naturally no one will worry about so much. Soon someone will pass the message to Zhao Yu and the others.
Xu Qing looked up at Murong Hui, her eyes flashed but she said nothing.
"Don't go back now, just take it with me. I will transfer the guards to come later."
Murong Hui stood up and walked around her, feeling extremely anxious.
"Your Highness, Lord Huang ordered people to say that the people outside have retreated."
At this time, Qingyue ran in and said with a look of surprise.
What they are most worried about is that they are afraid of attacking in. Now that those people have retreated, it means that the palace is safe.
"I have to go and see An'er and Ning'er."
Murong Hui always felt something was wrong. These people came and left casually.
If you want to attack the palace, it is impossible to attack from the main gate.
We must find the weakest place in the palace, and the palace gate has always been a key defense place in the palace.
Therefore, Murong Hui suspected that the people at the palace gate were just some covers, and in fact they had sent people in quietly.
Therefore, she ignored the opposition of others and walked quickly towards the door.
Seeing this, the guards outside had to follow. When Murong Hui came outside Murong An and Murong Ning's residences, they saw that the guards were all guarding outside, and there was nothing unusual.
When the guard saw Murong Hui coming, he hurriedly greeted him and saluted: "Your Highness, everything is normal."
"Has anyone ever been in?"
Murong Hui looked at the closed gate of the main hall and asked the guard.
"Just just now, General Manager Qi ordered people to deliver things to the two His Highnesses, saying that it was a tribute sent by the envoy. You asked him to deliver it to the two princes before, but he forgot about it for a moment."
The guard actually had some doubts in his heart. Knowing the current situation, he was still giving things at this critical moment. It was really confusing.
However, the guards checked the things he sent, but did not find anything wrong, so even though he was confused, he didn't think much about it.
"Your Highness, since there is nothing wrong, let's go back."
Qingyue, who was standing beside her, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw this and said to Murong Hui.
clang……
However, as soon as she finished speaking, a sound came from the main hall, as if someone had knocked over something.
"Who else is inside?"
Murong Hui suddenly became nervous and walked to the door as she spoke.
"There are only two princes and a few palace servants."
The guard's heart was also shocked, thinking that why this person was so uncautious.
After Murong Hui walked into the main hall, she saw four companions tied to the pillars of the main hall, with something stuffed in her mouth.
"Hurry up and untie them."
When Murong Hui saw that Zhao Yu had been hit on his face a few times, she looked very embarrassed and hurriedly asked someone to untie them, and walked towards the bedroom.
The guard was also startled and rushed in.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them walked to the door of the bedroom, they saw two people wearing night clothes in the bedroom.
When they saw Murong Hui walking in, they immediately waved their sword and stabbed Murong Hui.
Murong Hui's mind was blank, and she instinctively raised her arm. A poisonous needle immediately flew out of the bracelet when Zhao Yu was sent, and stabbed the guy opposite him.
The two were too close to each other, and the guy opposite didn't react at all, so he was stabbed by a poisonous needle and was instantly numb to the ground.
The guard rushed in at this time and subdued one of the two outside assassins.
"Go and invite the imperial physician!"
Murong Hui looked at the man in black lying on the ground, and her heart almost jumped out of her throat.
If it weren't for the bracelet given by Zhao Yu just now, she would have become a ghost under the knife.
At this time, several guards had already come in to check. The palace servants who fell all over the ground found that all the palace servants were knocked unconscious. These people must have resisted fiercely, so they delayed the time.
"Don't worry, your highness, the two princes are not injured, and they will wake up soon."
After waiting for a while, the imperial physician came over. After carefully examining Murong An and Murong Ning, he turned to Murong Hui and said.
It seems they haven't succeeded yet.
Murong Hui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart and asked the imperial physician to deal with the four unlucky companions outside to take a break.
I originally thought I was sending them here to protect them, but I almost lost their lives.
Murong Hui sighed, knowing that they would wake up soon, and then she lost her temper because of her drugged them.
But now she didn't dare to leave, for fear of coming to harm them again, so she had to wait by the side.
"Your Highness, those four companions were only slightly injured, and it was not serious."
At this time, Madam Huang came over and said with anger: "I have asked the four companions about their studies. It was General Manager Qi who brought the two people through the box that delivered tributes. Lord Huang has already arrested General Manager Qi!"
"It must be silenced. Regardless of whether these two people succeed or not, General Manager Qi will become abandoned."
Murong Hui put down the book in her hand and felt quite irritated.
"Is it because these two men did not kill anyone?"
Madam Huang looked at the large number of palace servants who fainted from the bedroom and said with a squinted eyes.
"It's not all, and it doesn't matter now. Let the deputy general manager temporarily take the position of general manager. As for the candidate for general manager, we will decide when the queen comes back."
Murong Hui didn't want to talk about this anymore, and she looked at Murong An and Murong Ning.
"You finally believe that many people want to catch you."
After hearing Murong Hui's words, Murong An snorted, got up and yelled, "Then we want to have a meal now, will we be poisoned to death?"
"Go and have a meal!"
Murong Hui ignored his attitude and turned to Madam Zhang and said.
"Sister Hui..."
Murong Ning approached Murong Hui, probably because he hadn't eaten for too long, and his face was a little pale.
"I don't know the situation outside. What we can do now is to ensure our own safety and stay calm?"
Murong Hui had not recovered from the thrill of being almost killed just now, and she said with a strong anger.
Murong Ning lowered his head and said nothing, but he looked obviously still wanted to find out the news.
"We might have been stunned for a long time, so eat something quickly, otherwise we will starve to death."
Seeing that he was still sitting there, Murong An hurriedly pulled him up and dragged him to the main hall for dinner.
After all, the two of them were children, so when faced with the table full of delicious food, they forgot about Lin Yingxue and Murong Jun and started eating.
Murong Hui sat aside and watched them quietly finish eating. She saw Lord Huang walking into the main hall with a gloomy face.
"Did General Qi commit suicide?"
Murong Hui said lightly without waiting for him to speak.
Lord Huang nodded and continued, "Not only General Manager Qi, but also the Office of Internal Affairs has lost 17 palace servants tonight. I have sent someone to investigate the matter."
Murong Hui nodded, gave a few instructions, and saw Murong Ning stand up and say, "They are afraid that they don't know that the plan has failed."
"Even so, you are still unsafe."
Murong Hui looked at Murong Ning calmly, knowing that he wanted to take the opportunity to leave the palace, so she hurriedly stopped him.
Murong Ning sighed, and was so angry that he didn't say anything for a long time.
The three of them sat for three hours. Seeing the sky outside, it turned from dark to bright, and there was still no news about Lin Yingxue and the others coming from outside, Murong Hui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
In her opinion, the best news is now without news.
"Your Highness, will you not open the palace gate today?"
Lord Huang walked in and saw that the three of them had not rested. He knew that they were still worried, so he hurriedly asked.
"Go and see what's going on outside and send someone to inquire about the situation. If it's inappropriate, you can't open the palace gate."
Murong Hui was very worried. She was really afraid that as soon as she opened the city gate, someone suddenly attacked in and captured them all in one place.
Lord Huang responded and hurried out.
"It's been so long, even Qilin has died, why do you still have to put us under house arrest?"
Murong An said as he got up and ran out. The guards on the side didn't stop him.
"Sister Hui, brother is just too anxious. Don't care, I know you are for our own good."
Murong Ning stood up, looked at his brother's back as he ran out, and said awkwardly.
