Chapter 338: Smile faintly

"Last night, Lu Chen was assassinated in his bedroom..." Hemo said this lightly, lying in her ear as if telling a story.
Leng Yiyao raised her eyes, froze for a moment, then raised her head and saw that the other party had a seemingly nonchalant smile, and finally understood the phrase he said when he picked her up before, "Look, I guess, that is Tonight, something will happen to the royal family."
For two days in a row, two people had died in the palace. This time it was Lu Chen, the first heir to the throne!
She only feels that people in this country have extraordinary mobility. Even if it is seeking to usurp the throne, at this speed, it is extraordinary.
Glancing at the dining table, there are various breakfasts, which are as rich as a five-star hotel. She randomly picked some milk and toast, and ate some fruit.
A whole dinner plate, it looks like a lot of things, but she moves slowly. When I was eating, there was already a big circle in my mind—Hemo didn't want to see Lu Chen in all kinds of things, she could understand it completely, but, anyway, when others met yesterday, they all had their tails and turned around, but Was it because she ate lobsters, soaked in a hot spring, and slept comfortably until dawn, so Lu Chen was stabbed?
"Is the news only you know, or is it already spread to everyone?" Leng Yiyao pondered for a moment, then raised her head to ask him.
Hemo gently licked his lips, and did not answer directly, but reached for the remote control, and the TV embedded on the wall of the dining room popped on.
On the Empire News Channel, the female anchor eagerly occupied the entire screen.
"According to the latest news, there was a shooting in the palace at about three o'clock in the morning. The spokesperson of the royal family announced this morning that the shooting was in the dormitory of Prince Lu Chen. At present, the eldest prince’s injuries are unknown and the royal family has closed all the surroundings of the palace... …" Behind the camera is the entrance to the palace, with a new image of royal guards guarding them coming and going. Ling Yu's east wind blew the branches finely, and there was silence inside and outside the palace, and the female anchor's expression was trembling and nervous. All this is like a silent black-and-white drama, rendering the whole bright morning to death.
Although the royal family is not as powerful as the military, since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, it has always been respected by the people. Today, the emperor is in poor health and the first heir to the throne has been assassinated. This situation vaguely reveals the imperial turmoil. To the people, it is almost like heaven. It's all collapsed in half.
Leng Yiyao glanced at the other figures that flashed behind the female anchor. In addition to the Empire News Channel, I am afraid that the media from all over the world have already heard the news and reported the matter one after another.
However, after sleeping and waking up, the wind direction in the imperial capital changed.
She stood up slowly, put away the carelessness on her face, and lightly tapped the table top with her fingertips. This was a subconscious action when she thought.
"Are you going to see him?" Hemo lowered his eyes, glanced and stood up, but Leng Yiyao, who had just reached her chin, revealed a touch of elegance.
Leng Yiyao heard his voice and took time to pause for two seconds from her thoughts. Then she took the time to raise her head, raised her eyebrows and smiled concisely: "Are you jealous?"
Visiting the wounded is not a monthly private meeting. There is something wrong with his tone.
"..."
Hemo found that for the first time, he was speechless.
Admit that you are jealous of a boy who has been in the arms of his father for so many years?
Sorry, his self-esteem does not allow himself to take this step.
"I will send you." Although he does not admit jealousy, he will never allow two people to be alone. Especially when someone is injured, vulnerable, and helpless. I heard that this can easily arouse women's desire for protection, who makes them the easiest to feel soft...
Well, although, the woman in front of him, he doubts whether the other party has compassion, protective desire or other complex...
Leng Yiyao sighed and looked at the other party's black robe and pajamas, "Are you going to give it to me like this?"
Not to mention, it was just the small clavicle exposed from his messy collar. She dared to pack the ticket. As long as he appeared near the palace like this, the young lady who had just reported the royal assassination with an anxious and sad expression on her face, can Immediately, nosebleeds sprayed wildly, heartbeat exploded!
Hemo followed her gaze and looked down at herself.
In fact, it was okay, but when I was getting dressed in the morning, I pulled the neckline casually. However, what she meant just now was to let him send her to the palace by default?
"Frey." He called out, and Frey, who was guarding the door, straightened up immediately: "Here!"
"Go get the car." He turned around and smiled at her slightly: "Isn't my feet cold with so little wear?"
Cold feet?
She lowered her head and glanced at her furry slippers, an ankle was exposed, white and tender, indeed very bright.
So, half a catty is right? She disliked him for improperly dressed, he reminded her that slippers are inappropriate?
Leng Yiyao snorted, not talking nonsense, and turned her head back to the room to change her shoes.
At nine fifty, Frey had parked his car at the gate of the palace. At this time, all the guards of the imperial family were ready, let alone people coming and going, not even a fly could get in.
All media reporters have been cleared, and the main entrance is quiet. There is no one but the guards.
Frey thought for a while, and directly dialed the palace security office first.
When he visited His Majesty the Emperor last time, the other party had already registered and entered his identity and contact information, so it was quickly verified.
Frey briefly introduced his intentions, and specifically pointed out that it was the Marshal who came in person. If it is convenient, please "must" keep a low profile.
In the palace, although the first chief guard is dead, all people who can get off the guard are human spirits. The Marshal was usually very alienated from the royal family, but he suddenly came here today. It can be seen that there is a reason for the matter, so naturally he dare not wait.
He ran directly to the door of Lu Chen's palace and personally reported to Lu Chen's head guard.
A strange color flashed across the other's eyes, but it was quickly pressed down, turned around and ran into the bedroom to ask for instructions.
At this moment, Lu Chen, who was surrounded by four or five imperial doctors in the center, had a reddish bandage on his body, the blood on his face was obviously insufficient, his eyes were slightly sunken, and his expression was calm. Hearing his head guard report this matter, he paused slightly, and nodded for a long time. "You meet me for me."
His current injury, let alone getting out of bed, even speaking is very difficult.
The imperial doctors around, sweating on their foreheads, just felt it was a fleeting disadvantage.
Yesterday, I was tightly surrounded by the emperor. It’s fine now. His Majesty’s fever is not going away and his condition is not getting better. The eldest prince is assassinated again, almost losing his life.
The guard was so commanding that he dared not delay for a moment, and immediately rushed to the entrance of the palace.
Concubine Er Wang just came in from the door with the soup medicine, and the two almost touched each other. Although the head guard avoided at the last juncture, he still spilled a lot of soup in the bowl.
The second princess's red eyes were full of bloodshot eyes. On the one hand, her husband fell out of bed, and on the other hand, her own son was shot. He was hit by a double blow and almost couldn't hold it. It was hard to beat up the whole body's strength and pretend to be strong, but saw that the people under his son were so careless and reckless.
"What run? Where are the eyes!" If it weren't for the soup medicine for her son in her hand, she almost slapped it directly. My son was so badly injured that this group of dogs was not protected!
The head guard was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously stayed in place, lowering his eyes. As the head of the guard, as the prince, running wildly in the palace is indeed unsightly. Moreover, the eldest prince was injured, he is indeed to blame.
"Cough-cough-cough-" In the palace, there was a sudden intensive coughing sound.
Hearing the sound, it was as if the throat was blocked by blood.
The second princess was so frightened that she had no time to teach her servants, and rushed into the bedroom with the soup medicine.
The head guard was stunned for a moment, did not dare to wait any longer, and went straight to welcome the Marshal and Leng Yiyao.
Now that the emperor's first chief guard is dead, although Lu Chen has not succeeded to the throne, in terms of position, if Lu Chen ascends to the throne, he will of course be the chief guard of the palace. Therefore, he greeted him all the way, and everyone naturally did not dare to slacken their efforts. After seeing Hemo's face, he was immediately calm! The gates of the palace opened, and the guards retreated. Hemo and Leng Yiyao walked almost unimpeded to Lu Chen's palace.
I saw that the second princess was sitting on the soft seat by Lu Chen's window with no expression, watching the imperial doctor help him change the bandage.
The bandage had been replaced and dropped on the ground. There was a strong smell of blood in the room.
Leng Yiyao glanced sideways, and the gunshot wound was more serious than imagined.
The bullet pierced his left arm, and I don't know if it hurt a blood vessel. The amount of bleeding is really impressive.
Because it hurt his arm and the clothes were not easy to bandage, the doctors simply made Lu Chen naked to change the dressing at any time.
Leng Yiyao didn't have time to take a look, and he was directly blocked by Hemo.
...
She was suddenly a little helpless and funny.
Would you like to tell him that when she was in the military school, she had seen a lot of such shirtless men. And it's the kind of guy who looks around, a playground is full of wheat skin!
"You are here." Perceiving the strangeness at the door, Lu Chen tilted his head and looked towards them. At first glance, he saw Hemo standing in front of her.
He lowered his head and glanced at his current dress, even though his head was sweaty with pain and the bed sheet was almost wet behind his back, he couldn't help but lift his lips slightly. At least, she still cared a little bit about herself when she rushed to the palace so soon, didn't she.
If Hemo really doesn't pay attention to him, why should he come with her?
So, I didn’t imagine it, so there is no chance of winning, right?
Seeing that his son was so hurt, he was even distracted to look at the door. The second princess turned her head and looked over. She first saw Hemo, her whole body was slightly shocked, and she subconsciously stood up on her seat, bent over and saluted. When she saw Leng Yiyao walk out from behind Hemo, her face froze.
This, such a woman, is simply unscrupulous!
Yunying's unmarried ladies, how dare to enter and leave a man's room like this? It was still when her son was naked!
The point is, the marshal is also dependent on her temperament?
As soon as the second princess wanted to open her mouth, Lu Chen gently pinched the palm of her hand.
When she met her son's gaze, she just felt that all the words had disappeared.
Why do you want to share such a woman, who is not good, Fei and Marshal like the same one!
A stomach of anger, but there is nowhere to break out. The second princess couldn't bear it, so she turned her head and didn't see anything!
"I'm sorry, there is no way to meet you personally." Lu Chen turned his face, resisting the pain in the wound, and pulled out a smile, first politely looked at Hemo, and then, his eyes fell deeply on Leng Yiyao's On his body, it seemed that he never wanted to move away.
"Don't talk if you have such a serious injury." Leng Yiyao glanced at the location of the wound, the upper left arm, twenty centimeters away from the shoulder, a little closer, and penetrated the shoulder joint. I'm afraid it will be the best doctor. Back to the sky is lacking. Even if it can save a life, one arm will be useless in time.
"Ahem-ahem-it doesn't matter." He pursed the corners of his lips, but his lips became paler.
The second princess looked uncomfortable, but Hemo stood aside and did not speak. She did not dare to speak without permission, but looked cramped.
Seeing the weird atmosphere, Yigan took a cautious look at Lu Chen. Seeing the other party beckoned them to retreat, he immediately lowered his head and turned around without hesitation, fearing that he might hear something that shouldn't be heard.
"I heard that the assassin came to your dormitory in the early morning, but can you see who the other party is?" Leng Yiyao stopped two meters away from his bed.
Lu Chen shook his head, his face was dark: "The light is too dim, and the opponent fired a shot and disappeared immediately, and he couldn't see his looks.
Go away after one shot?
A look of surprise flashed through Leng Yiyao's eyes, "You didn't even sleep at that time?"
If only one shot is fired, and the person is asleep and misses the shot, then the assassin is too amateur.
Lu Chen reluctantly twitched his mouth: "I just came back from my father's palace at that time, changed my pajamas and lay on the bed without sleep. Suddenly I heard the noise from the window sill and turned down the head of the bed. As a result, I was still a step slower. ."
After listening to Leng Yiyao, she took a deep look at him, and for a long time, she looked back at the window sill, and it turned out that it was directly facing him on the couch. It was too easy to hide a person.
"Is there anything special about that person? For example, being left-handed, or having a strange hair color?" She pondered for a while, then slowly spoke. The eyes were fixed on Lu Chen's face quietly, and all his reactions were carved into his eyes.
"The hair color is strange?" Lu Chen recalled in surprise for a while, and for a long time, shook his head: "At that time, it was too dark, and I turned off the lights again and didn't see the other person's front clearly. I only vaguely saw a figure following him. There was a flash on the window sill, it looked like he should be a man."
"After you were shot, the guards broke in?"
Just fire one shot, it's just too late. She frowned and glanced at the entrance of the bedroom. It is exactly at a 90-degree angle to the window sill. Even if he rushed in, it was impossible to immediately block the shooting angle on the window sill.
"Yes. The guard rushed in when he heard the gunshot." Lu Chen lowered his head, his voice became hoarse, and the assassin did not use random ordinary bullets, but armor-piercing bullets.
"Where is the bullet that I took out? Show me." Leng Yiyao frowned more and more severely, raised her head and glanced at Lu Chen.
The doctors all withdrew, and he couldn't get out of the bed. The second princess endured, and stood there when the marshal saw the marshal. Leng Yiyao said that everything was what he meant. In the end, he clenched his teeth and took it from the head of the bed. The bullet that was taken out was handed to Leng Yiyao.
In the plate, the swaying bullets are three to four centimeters larger than those in ordinary pistols. The lethality and power are obvious.
"Are you wearing a bulletproof vest?" Leng Yiyao glanced at the bullet with blood still sticking to it. In terms of the power of this bullet, Lu Chen did not die, it was a big luck.
"I've been wearing a bulletproof vest next to my body since I was a child, and even when I changed into pajamas, I would wear it in it." Lu Chen endured the pain and pointed to the closet not far away. Sure enough, there was a hanging on it. A body armor with a hole in it. Look at the size, it coincides with the bullet in front of you.
Leng Yiyao squinted, looking at the 7.7 mm bullet in front of her, and pointed at it: "What material is this bullet used for?" The color is much different from ordinary bullets.
Lu Chen seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then, a cough in his throat came quickly, and he coughed more and left.
The tears of the second princess were forced to fall, she wanted to call people to throw Leng Yiyao directly in front of her, but the marshal standing behind the other party looked at everything so motionless as the wind. The shock of life made her stiff, let alone rushing to pull Leng Yiyao away, she didn't even dare to say a word casually.
The head guard at the door heard Lu Chen's coughing too often, so he leaned in cautiously.
Leng Yiyao turned her head and beckoned to him, "Your master is not feeling well. Come and see, what is the material of the bullet's tip?"
The head of the guard was still confused, and when he saw the shape of the bullet and the tiny pointed tip, his expression was solemn, and his face was full of stormy anger.
"This type of armor-piercing projectile is extremely rare. The metal shell does not completely cover the front end of the warhead because the core is made of lead. The exposed lead core can increase the speed and efficiency of the warhead."
lead?
Leng Yiyao glanced at the expressions of Lu Chen and his head guard, with a deep thought on his face. "Lead is a rare metal in the empire?" Otherwise, why did the two look so strange when they saw this tiny warhead?
"Lead mines are very rare in China. So far, there are only two in the empire." The chief guard's expression became more ugly, and when he looked up at Leng Yiyao, the black under his eyes was impervious to the wind.
Leng Yiyao raised her eyebrows and slowly lowered her eyes: "Those two?"
"One is a lead mine located in the northwestern suburbs of the imperial capital. It has always been exclusive to the royal family. It needs to be reviewed and approved before it can be mined. The quantity is restricted every year." Because lead is the largest non-radioactive element with the largest atomic weight, it is also a carcinogen. Mining restrictions are extremely stringent.
"Where is the other place?" Leng Yiyao's eyes flashed a little, her voice stretched thin and long.
"The other place is located in the southern province of the empire, and that happens to be the territory of Grand Duke Lu Yun!" The guard's face was condensed, and almost all the patience was exhausted with every word!
Grand Duke Lu Yun, the emperor's eldest brother, that hot-tempered beard uncle?
Leng Yiyao quickly lowered her eyes, and a sarcasm smile crossed her lips.
"The things are sealed, and you will personally send it to the police station later." She handed the plate to the chief guard, and saw the frightened and angry face of the second princess, she couldn't help sighing.
Lu Chen's right hand gripped the bed sheet tightly, seeming to be struggling to suppress something. For a long time, only the sound of his heavy breathing was heard throughout the room.
Leng Yiyao glanced back at Hemo, the two eyes met, almost instantly guessing the other's thoughts.
"Lu Chen, take care of your injuries first, hand the bullets to the police, and the rest will be long in the future." After she finished speaking, she gave him a deep look. Lu Chen opened his mouth, what he wanted to say, and finally lowered his eyes.
"The police should send someone to investigate soon. Hemo and I will leave first and call me if something happens." She confessed softly. To the wounded, she was too troubled to speak. Seeing that Lu Chen's back was soaked, she didn't Stopped again, turned and walked towards the gate.
He Mo quietly looked at the pale and lonely figure lying on the bed, for a long time, smiled faintly.
On the way back, Frey clearly felt the atmosphere a bit strange, but glanced at the back seat, and the two of them didn't seem to be calm. For a while, it was a bit clouded.
When he returned to the Marshal’s Mansion, Leng Yiyao sat in the living room, casually holding a cup of green tea. For a long time, she lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, and suddenly met Hemo’s eyes and smiled quietly: "What do you think was the situation last night? ?"
"It is estimated that only Lu Chen himself knows what the situation is." Hemo raised the temperature of the indoor air conditioner and glanced at her fingertips. It looked so small and exquisite that people couldn't help but want to play with it.
Only he knows...
Leng Yiyao chewed on this sentence, a deep meaning flashed across her eyebrows.
Judging from the current situation of the royal family, the eldest princess is excluded from the center of power. Because the princess is a neighboring princess, she has limited bargaining chips in her own country. As a marriage with a pro-princess, she is indeed a valuable status, but if she wants to be in power in the empire, obviously It's a bit whimsical. After all, the two countries were belligerents. Not to mention the little princess, a doll, so pure and incomparable, even the two grand princes shivered with fright when they said something serious. Excluding these people, there are only a few side branches. Obviously, there is no possibility to compete for the throne.
With such a division, the situation is obvious. The imperial family is overwhelmed. Now, to put it plainly, it is the struggle between Lu Chen and his two uncles.
The emperor was lying on the bed right now, no matter what was missing, it was impossible to arrange for someone to do such a good "assassination".
She took a lazy trip to the chair and looked at Hemo with deep eyes: "How did you guess in advance that something happened to the royal family last night?"
For others, this question may be unclear, but for Hemo, it is simply a question.
A smile flashed in Hemo's eyes, and then he put one hand on the chair behind her, and moved her seat in front of him with the other, instantly, from top to bottom, locked her whole person in front of her arms. .
"The emperor's doctor disappeared and died strangely. Only Lu Chen was on the scene. No matter how stupid the two grand princes were, they were still a little bit away from the pig teammates. This knotty eye will definitely not be superfluous. As the situation continues to develop, Lu Chen can only wait. He was robbed of the throne. But, you see, now he was assassinated in his palace, and he was left with a lead warhead. This is another scene." Especially armor-piercing bullets, one case after another in the current situation Next, he was shot by someone with a heart. Who has the courage and who has the motive?
Leng Yiyao raised her head, his chest in front of him, and a little bit higher, was his Adam’s apple. When speaking, she slid up and down slightly, as if she was playing a guessing game with her. It didn’t break, but every word was said. very obvious. "You mean.... A bitter trick?"
"Put it to death and live afterwards. This bitter trick is just right, isn't it?" The beauty in front of him makes sense. There is no vase at all. The beauty's head is empty. On the contrary, as long as she points out a sentence at will, she can immediately push the boat along the water and fully speculate the cause and effect. Just because of this character and ability, he was sure that her vision and methods were absolutely comparable. Thinking of the words that he almost praised Lu Chen just now, he turned his head, smiled lightly, and couldn't help but laugh in a low voice: "Lu Chen, not as stupid as he looks."
At least, more than a month ago, in the face of turning a blind eye to himself, Lu Chen obviously didn't have this skill other than waiting dryly in the corridor outside the presidential suite in D City and ordering people to bluff at the door.
In such a short period of time, I have grown to the point where I can play this kind of bitter trick with the two grand princes. I want to have a lot of motivation behind it.
"It's just a guess now, isn't it?" Leng Yiyao supported her chin and looked at each other with a smile. Man, sure enough, no matter who the rival is, he will always show the hormonal side. Although Hemo didn't say bluntly that Lu Chen was not good at anything, the insight and depth he showed completely crushed someone.
He didn't even need to send someone to check it out. He just heard that the imperial doctor died strangely, and guessed that Lu Chen would do something, so he deliberately picked her up in front of others and picked her out of the quagmire.
"How do you want to verify?" He lowered his head, with a smile in his eyes. What she can figure out, she can know it almost in the blink of an eye. To be honest, he had never tried this kind of heart-warming feeling before. Even if it was Frey who had been behind him for many years, he had inquired a few times on many issues, and the other party might not be able to keep up with his thinking, but the person in front of him was different. She seemed to move at will, as long as he only said a few words, she could even think of things faster and more than him.
What to do, I really want to lock her in my arms so no one can see it!
