Want to tease the prince, the cat is soft and delicate

Chapter 260 Su Su is dead

The incident happened suddenly and no one expected that there would be an assassin hiding in the carriage.

Mei Susu only heard Xuanyuan Che's roar, and the long sword on his chest was pulled out. Xuanyuan Che pressed his big hand on her chest, and blood stained his hand red.

Mei Susu fell into Xuanyuan Che's arms. Before she fainted, she saw Xuanyuan Che's red eyes.

The assassin was captured and the carriage rushed back to the palace at full speed.

That night, imperial physicians and palace maids came and went in an endless stream, almost breaking down the threshold of Chaoyang Palace, bringing out basins of blood, and the stench of blood filled the entire Chaoyang Palace.

Until dawn, all the imperial doctors were driven out of Chaoyang Palace and forced to kneel in front of the palace.

Overnight, the news of Mesusu's assassination spread like wildfire throughout the palace.

Emperor Shunde came in a hurry and left with a gloomy face.

The Queen Mother also came with a look of worry in her eyes, and left with tears streaming down her face.

When Xuanyuan Che walked out of the hall, he was covered in blood and there was dried blood on his face.

He swept his sinister eyes over everyone present, as if there was a murderer inside, and his gaze was so sharp that it seemed to be poisoned.

But in the end, he still left, his steps unsteady and his body unsteady, a side of him that no one had ever seen.

Mei Susu died. Since she was just a servant of the prince during her lifetime, even though she was favored, she had no real status, so her funeral was simple and ordinary according to the custom of ordinary palace servants.

On the day of her funeral, the sky was covered with snow. Only the palace servants carried the rather exquisite coffin, and Xuanyuan Che took it to the mountain next to the imperial mausoleum for burial.

From beginning to end, only Yueya was crying sadly, kneeling in front of Mei Susu's grave with Xuanyuan Che until she was pulled away by Zhuiying.

Xuanyuan Che stood guard in front of Mei Susu's tomb for a day and a night, until his head was covered with snow, then he got up, mounted his horse and left.

That night, several dark shadows landed silently in front of Mei Susu's tombstone.

They looked at each other, then took out the shovels and rakes they had prepared and prepared to dig the grave.

It was a cold snowy night, but it wasn’t dark around at all. The crystal clear snow made the surroundings bright.

Since it was a new grave, the soil was relatively soft, so the men did not have to dig for too long before they found the coffin.

One person jumped into the deep pit first, pried open the nails sealing the coffin, and then opened the coffin lid in one go.

Before everyone could see clearly what was inside the coffin, a very small sound of a flute was heard, and a silver needle shot out from the coffin and pierced into the forehead of the person who opened the coffin.

The man's eyes widened, and without even making a sound, his body stiffened and fell into the coffin.

The person who was supposed to be lying in the coffin had now jumped up and landed on the ground.

Only then did everyone realize that there was no corpse in the coffin at all. It was a trap!

But by the time the gravediggers realized something was wrong and prepared to evacuate, it was too late.

On the flat snow ground, dozens of people suddenly jumped up from the snow and surrounded these people.

Zhuiying also walked out and ordered with a cold face: "Catch him alive!"

When those men saw they were about to be arrested, they didn't even resist, but their teeth trembled, and then they fell to the ground with foam at the mouth.

"Poison in the mouth!"

Zhuiying was also well prepared. He pinched one person's mouth and stuffed the detoxification pill made by Xuechen into that person's mouth. Then he carried the man up, told the rest of the people to deal with the scene, and then left in a cloud of dust.

When Mei Susu woke up from her couch, it was three days after the incident.

It happened to be the day of her funeral.

But she was not lying in the coffin for the funeral, but on the soft couch in her boudoir.

Seeing her wake up, Shan Yanjing, who had been guarding by her side for a long time, finally breathed a sigh of relief, poured a cup of warm water, went forward to help Mei Susu up, and fed her.

"If you don't wake up, my father will be worried sick. The whole family is waiting for you to wake up and set off."

Mei Susu was still in confusion at the moment. Her hand involuntarily touched her heart, but it was intact, without any sword wounds or pain.

But she clearly remembered the dull pain of the sword piercing her heart, and she also saw the bloodshot face of Xuanyuan Che covering her heart. How come there is nothing here?

What exactly is going on?

Mei Susu looked at Shan Yanjing: "Who are you?"

She was sure that she had never seen the person in front of her.

"I am the daughter of Master Wen, Shan Yanjing."

Perhaps because time was tight, or perhaps because he was afraid that Mei Susu would do something extreme after waking up in an unfamiliar environment, Shan Yanjing explained why Mei Susu appeared here.

It was nothing more than a trap set up by Xuanyuan Che to protect her, in order to make the bad guys think that Mei Susu was dead, and then give Mei Susu a new identity, an identity that would not arouse suspicion and was noble enough.

It was common knowledge that Master Wen had a youngest daughter in his early years, who was kept in a farm outside because of illness.

What others don’t know is that at the beginning of last year, his youngest daughter died of illness.

Because it was a family matter and not something glorious, Master Wen and his family members rushed to the farm to bury their youngest daughter.

Later, Shan Yanjing was chosen by Emperor Shunde to be the Crown Princess. The family hurried back to Kyoto to prepare for Shan Yanjing's selection of the Crown Princess.

But who knew that Shan Yanjing had no intention of entering the palace, and Xuanyuan Che had other intentions in helping the Shan family overcome the official salt crisis.

What she was after was the identity of Master Wen's youngest daughter.

He had known that Master Wen had a youngest daughter who was recuperating outside the manor, and he also knew that his youngest daughter had passed away.

But Xuanyuan Che did not use his power to bully others and asked Master Wen for help.

He first found Shan Yanjing, negotiated terms with her, cancelled the engagement, and gave out 12,000 taels of silver to help the Shan family tide over the difficulties.

When Master Wen couldn't figure out why he did this, he went to the palace to meet Xuanyuan Che, and then Xuanyuan Che made his attitude clear and stated his purpose.

The battle for the throne has always been bloody, and Master Wen did not want to get involved in it, because if he stood on the wrong side, he would be crushed to pieces and there would be no recovery.

But Xuanyuan Che is the crown prince, and if he wants a status, he can achieve it through coercion and inducement.

But he did not do so. Instead, he showed his sincerity. After Master Wen had a long talk with Xuanyuan Che, he came out of the palace and had changed his mind.

He was sure that the winner of this battle for the throne would be Xuanyuan Che.

The result was as expected by Master Wen. After that, Xuanyuan Feng got into trouble, Xuanyuan Yue married Huang Yan, Empress Cao was banished to the cold palace, Cao He was deposed, and the Cao family fell...

Now the throne can only be in Xuanyuan Che's pocket.

"But the crisis has not yet been resolved. This skinny camel is bigger than a horse."

As Shan Yanjing was speaking, Master Wen's voice came from the door, and then his figure appeared in the room.

Mei Susu had met Master Wen before, and when she saw him, she wanted to stand up and salute him.

But Master Wen stopped her.

"We are a family from now on, no need to be polite. You just happened to wake up today, I'll ask Jing'er to pack for you, and after lunch, we'll set off."

Mei Susu didn't know what to do, so she asked, "Where are we going?"

Master Wen frowned and said, "The situation in the capital is about to change. We need to leave the capital."
