In the middle of the dim street, a carriage was moving forward steadily.
The sound of horse hooves trampling and wheels rolling seemed very abrupt in the silent night.
On both sides of the street, on the eaves.
Several black and vigorous figures are hidden behind the obstacles, ready to go.
Li Zhilin lay drunk in the carriage.
The leader of the secret guard made a gesture.
All the secret guards jumped out of the darkness at the same time.
The guard driving the car was startled and quickly tightened the reins.
The huge inertia caused Li Zhilin to roll off the couch one after another.
"What's going on?" He was awakened and quickly opened the car curtain.
A flash of white light appeared in front of Li Zhilin, only a finger away from his eyes.
Li Zhilin reacted very quickly and moved to the right to avoid the sword edge that was about to pierce his eyes.
The sharp sword tip pierced Li Zhilin's left shoulder, and blood flowed out from the wound.
A whistle sounded, and the secret guard drew his sword and decisively turned around and left.
Li Zhilin looked at the killer who disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. If it weren't for the injury on his chest and the body of the dead guard on the ground, he would have felt like he was hallucinating.
When the guards from Prince Lin's Mansion arrived, the secret guards had just left and did not catch up.
"Your Majesty." The guard looked at Li Zhilin's wounds worriedly.
Li Zhilin squinted his eyes, with a smile on his face, "Go back home, clean up the scene, and take the body back."
"Your Majesty, is this someone sent by the eldest prince or the second prince?"
The guard picked up the reins that had fallen on the carriage.
The guards of Prince Lin's Mansion stood around the carriage, watching Western Zhou Dynasty vigilantly.
Li Zhilin: "This is a warning, a warning given by Li Junche to this king. It seems that he already knows about the affairs of Zhongshu Lingfu. Send the news to Yecheng and let Qin Weihu take action. Li Junche must be killed."
What Li Zhilin didn't know was that the spy he had buried in the army had been dug out by Li Junche and replaced with a perfect replacement.
The letter he sent to Qin Weihu became an excellent opportunity for Li Junche to regain Yecheng.

On the day when she entered the palace to pay her respects to the queen, Wen Jinhe took a look at Princess Heng's ugly face.
It has only been a few months, and I have taken concubines and concubines again.
No wonder she, the princess, looked pale and had no energy to talk to Wen Jinhe.
The queen sitting on the phoenix throne was very satisfied with her daughter-in-law's performance during this period. "For the royal family, heirs are the most important. Princess Heng has done a very good job, but she still needs to spread her wings more."
Princess Heng's perfunctory smile made Wen Jinhe feel a little sympathetic.
"Princess Che, it's been a while since you and the second prince got married. Why is there still no movement in your stomach?" The empress turned to face Wen Jinhe with a serious voice.
Wen Jinhe put down the hand that was about to take the plum blossom cake and looked up at the queen, "The prince is away on an expedition, and his daughter-in-law cannot give birth to a single child."
The queen choked, she had never seen such a shameless person.
"If the person I asked you to take back last time could stay, the second prince might already have blood."
Wen Jinhe raised his eyebrows with a smile and said, "No one the Queen Mother could choose would be liked by the Prince. She only took one look at him that night and sent him away overnight in disgust. My daughter-in-law was helpless."
When Princess Heng heard this, she looked at Wen Jinhe with envy in her eyes.
"Queen, Queen." Princess Qinbao ran in wearing a pink satin floral flying saucer skirt. The exquisite emerald gold steps in her bun were swaying from side to side. She was not as dignified as the queen, but she was very lively.
This was the first time Wen Jinhe met the only princess of Beidi Kingdom.
I have never encountered him in the palace before.
"Bao'er, women should be more demure and dignified, don't run around all day long." The queen complained softly and took out her handkerchief to wipe the sweat on Princess Qinbao's cheeks.
Wen Jinhe rolled his eyes, quiet and dignified?
It’s not like you’re seventy or eighty, so you can use it.
Princess Qinbao sat next to the queen, turning her head to look at Princess Heng and Wen Jinhe sitting below, "Hello, sisters-in-law." Her voice was very soft and soft, like pink marshmallows.
Just listening to it gives me the feeling of a little girl's pampering.
Princess Qinbao is sixteen years old this year, but she is very different from Wen Jinhe's imagination.
At first glance, it looks like he grew up in a honeypot.
It's not surprising that the queen could give birth to a daughter, but it surprised Wen Jinhe that she could develop such a daughter.
When leaving the palace, Princess Qinbao, riding a short bay-red horse, caught up with her.
Seeing this, Man Qiu reminded in a low voice, "Princess, Princess Qinbao seems to have something to ask you."
Wen Jinhe was puzzled. They had just met him and barely exchanged a few words. How could something happen to him?
She opened the curtain.
Princess Qinbao has stopped beside the carriage, "Second sister-in-law, I heard that you opened a restaurant with a lot of delicious food. Please take me there."
Wen Jinhe did not want to be involved with Li Yuheng's lineage, so he refused Princess Qinbao's request without hesitation, "The palace is strictly guarded, and you cannot leave the palace at will."
Princess Qinbao was so happy that she took out a ruby token from her arms and said, "This is a gift from my father. With this token, I can enter and exit the palace at will. Second sister-in-law, just take me out. I'm full." I'll be back."
Wen Jinhe looked at the ruby token and could tell with the naked eye that it was of good texture and completely different from ordinary entry and exit tokens. She didn't expect Li Jingxing to be so doting on her.
In desperation, Wen Jinhe had no choice but to accompany Princess Qinbao to Yunxi Restaurant.
The sun has not yet reached the top of the head, and the restaurant is already overcrowded.
When the waiter saw Wen Jinhe coming over, he said in embarrassment: "Princess, two private rooms have been booked today."
Wen Jinhe looked at Princess Qinbao, "Is it okay to sit outside without a private room?"
Princess Qinbao looked inside Yunxi Restaurant curiously.
She could smell the aroma of various snacks just standing outside the door, and her saliva was about to drop. She quickly shook her head and waved her hands, "It doesn't matter. As long as you can eat it, it doesn't matter if you stand."
The waiter took the person up to the second floor, found a seat by the window, and handed him the menu.
Wen Jinhe watched as Princess Qinbao ordered the menu from beginning to end without missing a single item.
The snacks alone filled a whole table and a chopping board.
The food on the second floor hasn't been served yet.
I thought she would just taste a little of each to satisfy her tongue's desires.
As a result, Wen Jinhe watched helplessly as she destroyed pile after pile, and she was stunned to eat almost everything.
And the expression on his face was very enjoyable.
Wen Jinhe's eyes couldn't help but move to Princess Qinbao's belly. It looked quite small and not fat. Could it be that she was a big eater and had a natural appetite?
In the end, Princess Qinbao destroyed most of all the snacks, and Wen Jinhe ate the tail.
The waiter quickly cleared the table and placed the big dishes on the second floor.
There was another round of Tornado, and at the end of the meal Wen Jinhe could clearly see that the opponent's belly was bulging.
After eating, the two of them sat on the chairs to eat.
Hawthorn juice is boiled with rock sugar and is slightly acidic, suitable for digestion.
I thought I would leave after a good rest, but two-quarters of an hour later, Princess Qinbao said with a matter-of-fact expression: "Enjoy the scenery, finally get out, and go back after dinner."
Wen Jinhe looked at her in disbelief, wondering how the queen could raise such a daughter.
More Buddhist than her.
Eat and drink all day long, don't be too happy.
Finally got out?
With that token, wouldn't it be possible to go out if you want?
Of course Wen Jinhe would not sit in Yunxi Restaurant for two hours waiting for dinner to start.
After she was almost digested, she took Princess Qinbao shopping in the east streets of the city.
Jewelry stores, clothing stores, bookstores, food stalls...
Zhao Bi and He Shi went back and forth in the carriage several times just for the spoils of war.
Seeing that it was almost time, the two returned to Yunxi Restaurant for another meal.
Finally, before dark, Wen Jinhe sent Princess Qinbao back to the palace.
On the way back to Prince Che's Mansion, Wen Jinhe sat in the carriage and stroked her bulging belly, "This Princess Qinbao is Li Jingxing better than her. The Emperor and Queen are much easier to get along with."
The two of them are about the same age and speak the same language.
After walking all afternoon, even Man Qiu and Man Dong felt tired.
The smiles on the faces of Wen Jinhe and Princess Qinbao never stopped, and they were full of interest.
Man Qiu: "...Princess Qinbao is the emperor's only daughter and is very favored."
Wen Jinhe nodded and saw it.
If you weren't favored, you wouldn't develop such a carefree temperament.
The west courtyard of Prince Che's Mansion is where Dr. Zhou and his apprentices live.
After Hong An moved here, he lived alone in a room.
Before going to bed, Dr. Zhou stood outside Hong'an's door and watched. This child has a talent.
I just don’t know if this apprentice has been taken in correctly?
I had promised to study medicine, but I didn't expect that I would be more interested in poisons now.
Although he is proficient in medicine and poison, is it really good for such a young child to learn how to make poison?
There are specks of white frost hanging on the branches and leaves of the peach trees outside the window.
The south gate of the capital.
A soldier wrapped in leather clothing rode quickly toward the city gate.
The mud splashed by the horse's hooves flew two meters away.
The defenders quickly opened the city gate.
The horses galloped through the quiet streets towards the Ministry of War.
