Chapter 788 Another Assassination on a Rainy Night
When there was just a hint of white in the sky, a loud thunder suddenly sounded, and in an instant there was lightning and thunder. The thunder shattered the clouds, and there seemed to be a black gas rolling out from the clouds in the air, as if it was going to overturn the corner of the palace.
Jiang Fenghua had just fallen asleep when she was awakened by the thunder. She unconsciously wanted to get the sword hanging on the head of the bed.
Before she could turn over, several children in the bedroom were awakened by the thunder at the same time, and the crying sound of the little princess Xie Lingyue was heard from the room.
Soon the oil lamp in the room was lit. Hongxiu came out from the side hall and woke up the wet nurse, while Lianye went to light the lamp.
Jiang Fenghua slept with Xie Zixi, while Xie Hongyou and Xie Hongyuan slept in another bed. All the children climbed up from the bed and sat up, shouting "Mother, I'm scared."
Jiang Fenghua called Lian Ye and said, "Bring Yuan'er to me."
She waved to the eldest prince again, "You'er, come to mother too. It's just raining and thundering outside. We don't have to be afraid. mother is here."
Just as all the children squeezed into the bed, the little princess in the nanny's arms was still crying and making a fuss, and the thunder outside continued, one after another, as if it was going to break the sky.
The nurse was at a loss, "I don't know what's wrong, I just can't coax the little princess."
Lian Ye went to help coax him again, "Are you hungry or have you had a bowel movement? Let's take a look first."
Lian Ye is now quite good at taking care of children, and she can basically understand the children's situation.
The nurse said, "I just fed him, and his diaper is not wet."
Jiang Fenghua protected her three children and comforted them first, and asked Xie Hongyou to take his younger brother and sister first, "Bring Yue'er to me too! I will comfort her."
The wet nurse handed the child to Jiang Fenghua. As soon as Jiang Fenghua held the child in his arms, she suddenly stopped crying.
The nurse said, "Every time the queen holds the little princess, she doesn't cry. It's really strange. This child only recognizes the queen as her mother and no one else."
Jiang Fenghua looked at the four children squeezed on the bed and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips. Maybe Xie Lingyue was destined to be with her!
She said, "It's raining heavily outside, close the doors and windows tightly. It's still early, you should all get some more sleep!"
Hongxiu said, "The queen hasn't slept for long, let me sleep with the little princess! She won't cry even if I take care of her."
Jiang Fenghua looked at Xie Lingyue, whose face was rosy. Her little hand was still holding her fingers. "I'll hold her for a while longer. The thunder outside was too loud. She was scared. She felt safer in my arms."
Xie Zixuan also clung to her and said, "Xun'er also wants to be hugged by mother. Xun'er is also afraid of thunder."
Jiang Fenghua patted her on the back and said, "Mother, please protect me, I am not afraid!"
Xie Zixuan felt her mother's warm hand and smiled, "Xian'er is not afraid anymore."
Xie Hongyou obediently protected his brother, "Brother, protect Yuan'er."
Xie Hongyou is warm and sensible. Knowing that his mother cannot take care of his brother, he takes the initiative to accompany him: "Youyou is not afraid of thunder." In fact, he is also quite afraid of it.
Xie Hongyuan raised his eyelids and looked at his brother, then continued to sleep, as if the heavy rain and thunder outside could not affect his sleep.
Seeing this, Jiang Fenghua wondered if Yuan'er was too lazy to open his eyes, or was he too calm? She was afraid of such thunder.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door. "Your Majesty, there is trouble in the prison. Someone is robbing the prison."
Jiang Fenghua climbed up from the bed again: "Hongxiu, Lianye, take good care of the children."
Hongxiu and Lianye didn't sleep at all. The thunder outside was too loud and they couldn't sleep.
Jiang Fenghua started to put on her clothes and shoes and went out. Hongxiu quickly took her cloak and said, "Your Majesty, please don't go out. Commander Shang is here."
Xie Zixuan and Xie Hongyou also climbed up and ran to Jiang Fenghua, "Mother, it's raining outside, don't go."
Jiang Fenghua put down the sword in his hand, "Xian'er, You'er, don't be afraid, you have to take good care of your brothers and sisters for your mother. Your mother won't leave, she's just going out to take a look."
Jiang Fenghua was about to go out, but Xie Lingyue started crying again. She glanced at Xie Lingyue and said, "You stay with your sister."
The rain outside was pouring down like a bucket, and I couldn't even see the road clearly. Once the door was opened, the strong wind rushed into the house. Lian Ye also tried to stop him, "It's dangerous outside, don't go out, Madam."
At this time, Lin Yu also came. She said, "Didn't the queen say that the emperor would not let the palace cause chaos? It was raining so hard, but the prison was attacked by an assassin. Fortunately, we had taken precautions."
Jiang Fenghua said, "Let's all stay here and wait for news! I'm worried even if the children are here."
Lin Yu was also afraid. Even though they had people inside and outside Kunning Palace, she didn't want anything uncontrollable to happen under her nose. When Xie Shang asked her to enter the palace, he must have wanted her to protect Jiang Fenghua's safety.
Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice: "Come in too!"
Someone else said, "Miss Aoxue asked me to come and tell the queen and Miss Lin that she is going to help."
Lin Yu frowned, "She must have gone to find Ye Ying. I had people keep an eye on Aoxue, and she ran away in just a few moments."
The louder the thunder in the sky, the more panicked Jiang Fenghua became. She walked to the window and looked up at the sky.
Jiang Fenghua was thinking about the list of assassins she got from Cheng Feng. The list had already been handed over to Shang Hong. Xie Kang was such a cautious person, would he expose the assassins to the Cheng family so easily?
Could it be that Xiao Shunzi's death was intentional? Now the assassins on the list must have been dealt with secretly by Shang Hong, but what about the assassins who were not on the list?
"Lin Yu, there is danger, let everyone be on alert." Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice.
Lin Yu said: "Don't worry, everyone is on high alert. Haven't the assassins hiding in the palace been caught?"
"I also secretly went to the Cining Palace to check, and there were no assassins hiding there. I was too worried about Aunt Xi." She smiled and said, "Aunt Xi didn't sleep last night, and I found that she was hiding something. It was a money box, which was full of gold, silver and jewelry. I didn't expect Aunt Xi to be so rich."
Lin Yu also wanted to make Jiang Fenghua feel more relaxed.
Jiang Fenghua's mind was not on Lin Yu's words. She suddenly said to herself, "No, they are just in the open, but they are secretly doing it!"
The louder the thunder outside, the more nervous Lin Yu became: "What's going on in secret?"
"There is an assassin." Jiang Fenghua said again.
At this time, the sound of fighting was heard outside Kunning Palace. A large number of assassins rushed to the Kunning Palace one after another. The secret guards and Lin Yu's men who stayed in the palace joined the battle one after another.
Lin Yu drew the sword from his waist when he heard the voice and said, "You stay in the bedroom. I'll go out and take a look."
There were crossbows everywhere outside, arrows were flying through the rain, Jiang Fenghua quickly closed the window and walked inside: "Don't go, wait a minute."
"Each of you hold a child and hide." Jiang Fenghua commanded.
Lin Yu had no choice but to give up, hoping that Xie Shang would not let them down, as he really did have a plan.
