Chapter 58 Assassin

Jun Qingli was determined to try him, and then smiled and said, "Mr. Mu guessed it well. He had arrested a palace maid to assassinate the dragon descendants. His father ordered her to parade in public and then behead her in public. He also posted the crimes of this woman everywhere so that everyone in the world would know the consequences of offending my royal majesty."

Parade in the streets and beheaded in public.

Mu Yun's heart sank, but his face was still as light as the wind and clouds were clear, as if what Jun Qingli said had nothing to do with him.

He flattered for a few words indifferently, and then said: "I still have a case to be dealt with. I will forgive you. I will lose my companion first."

Jun Qingli's eyes did not move away from him, and took a step to the side, giving him a little bit of position.

"It's easy for Lord Mu to leave."

Mu Yun nodded and didn't care about his gaze, and gently passed Jun Qingli.

The sound of the two men's clothes rubbing was subtle, and Jun Qingli raised his eyebrows in a slight way.

After walking a few steps, Jun Qingli's voice rang behind him again: "This woman's crime is bad and inhumane. I don't know if she has parents and brothers. If she does, I don't know what it feels like if she happens to meet her parade and behead her."

Mu Yun paused slightly, his eyes darkened at a stone blocking the way in front of him.

Jun Qingli is like this stone now. If he accidentally stepped on it, it is very likely that he would fall.

Mu Yun stepped over with expressionless face and entered Dali Temple.

Jun Qingli turned around and looked at his tall back, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

That night, the cell in Dali Temple was destined to not be calm.

A prisoner next to Shen Jialan suddenly had bleeding from his seven orifices after dinner. After seeing him, the doctor said he died of poisoning.

Now, the entire Dali Temple was in a bad mood.

There was a case of food and poisoning, and all the officials who went down from the yamen were called back to investigate the reasons.

But after checking for the middle of the night, they couldn't find out when the poison was dropped. They all sat in the hall and frowned and thought hard.

In the hall, there were a group of servants who had contacted the food that the prisoners had eaten. They all cried and said with a bitter face that they were wronged.

After a chaotic quarrel for the middle of the night, Xu Chengzhi, the young minister of Dali Temple, did not convict anyone, so he could only detain everyone first and then let the prison guards in Dali Temple be more careful.

Finally, Jun Qingli heard about this and sent someone to say: Since that's the case, the food will be delivered to the palace for a while.

So when it was still dawn the next day, someone came to the palace to deliver food to Shen Jialan.

A timid little palace maid was standing outside Shen Jialan's prison door with a food box, asking the guards inside to open the door for her.

Yunhe was staying for a night and was a little sleepy. He screamed in fear of being like her cat, and was immediately scared and half awake.

"Brother Guard, I am here to deliver food to the prisoner. My father-in-law who asked me to deliver food said that the prisoner would parade and behead him today and asked me to send it to her earlier."

Someone opened the door and took the food box: "Okay, you go."

The palace maid sneaked into the cell with her eyes, and met Yunhe's exploring gaze, and then lowered her head in fear.

"Is there a guard named Yunhe here? His Royal Highness gave me a token and asked me to pass on a message to Yunhe's guard."

Her voice was low, and only the guard who had taken the meal heard it. The guard said, "Where is that token? Take it out and take a look."

This time Yunhe heard it and walked over in confusion: "What token?"

The palace maid lowered her head and searched through her sleeves: "It's the token given to me by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

Yunhe looked at the curve of her face and suddenly felt that the palace maid looked familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere, but she didn't have a deep impression.

The palace maid took her pocket for a while, and suddenly she said with a thrill of voice: "Finished!" She pulled her hand out of her sleeve and reached in front of the guard.

Yunhe and the guards at the door looked at the palms she held.

The palace maid suddenly raised a strange smile on the corner of her mouth, raised her arm, and a gray dust immediately enveloped Yunhe and the guards.

"There is an assassin!" Yunhe immediately closed his eyes, but it was too late. Some powder was sprinkled in his eyes, and a terrifying pain immediately swallowed his eyes.

At this moment, he finally remembered that he had indeed seen this palace maid in the palace.

She came prepared!

The palace maid took advantage of the two men's conspiracy and sneaked into the cell like a loach and slipped into the cell through the gap under the armpits. In the blink of an eye, a sharp dagger appeared in her hand, and the tip of the knife was still shining with a faint blue-green green.

The dagger is poisoned!

She rushed straight towards Shen Jialan, with a vicious guilt flashing in her eyes: Sorry, in order for the adults to not destroy your plan, I can only settle you personally!

The rest of the guards in the room rushed towards her, but they were all too far away from her and could not even touch the corner of her clothes for a moment.

In Shen Jialan's horrified gaze, the palace maid's ferocious face was getting closer and closer to her!

But her dagger did not pierce Shen Jialan's chest in the end.

A thin silver thread appeared under the palace maid's feet without realizing it. She tripped without any warning, and then was pressed to the ground by the guard who had stepped forward.

A carefully arranged assassination was declared a failure. The palace maid roared in anger and disappointment, then moved her jaw and swallowed the poison hidden between her lower teeth.

She looked up at Shen Jialan's dull expression, smiled, and then tilted her head to the side, breaking her breath.

Yunhe heard what happened in the prison cell and guessed that the palace maid had been killed. He endured the severe pain in his eyes and asked someone to go to the prince quickly: "Go and notify His Highness the Prince, and call all the brothers outside to strengthen the defense. From now on, except for His Highness the Prince, who personally came to see the prisoners, no one else was allowed to come!"

The people from Dali Temple sent the injured Yunhe and the guards to the Imperial Hospital, while the body was left in the cell, waiting for Jun Qingli to come and inspect it in person.

"What did you say?! Shen Jialan was assassinated? Then was she dead?"

In Qingyun Hall, Jun Qingli slapped the table and stood up with a solemn expression on his face.

The guard who came to report the news said, "Crown Prince calmed down, Shen Jialan was not dead. Fortunately, the prince's magic tricks were made and arranged a trap in advance, which made the assassin fail to succeed. However, the assassin had hidden poison in the mouth, and his subordinates did not have time to discover that she had already committed suicide by taking poison."

Jun Qingli frowned, took a deep breath, and vomited it hard, barely suppressing the anger in her heart.

Unexpectedly, the person behind this scene was so cruel and decisive, and he was ruthless in his ruthlessness.

This person is much harder to deal with than he thinks.

Jun Qingli said: "Where is the assassin's body now?"

"When you go back to your highness, you are still in the cell where Shen Jialan is detained."

Jun Qingli waved her sleeve hard and kicked away the chair next to her: "Go!"

He wanted to see who was able to bury so many nails in the palace!
