Three Years After Falling Off the Cliff

"Who sent someone to assassinate Princess Yun?" Shen Tingheng asked indifferently, "Who sent someone to assassinate Princess Yun?" "He is familiar with Princess Yun's living habits, and even knows where the assassin might appear. So the assassin who came from this street must have been killed."

Heng raised his hand that held the umbrella and waved his index finger. "Check all the shops that Princess Yun often visits."

"Yun!" The Jinwu guards scattered, and the guards who had hidden in the dark also left. In a short moment, the streets became quiet and no one dared to move around easily.

"Shopkeeper, please go back to the shop and wait." Seeing the shopkeeper of the sweet water shop was so scared that he looked like a human, the palace lady said to the customer, "You should be afraid. As long as you find out that he has nothing to do with you, you will be able to do something wrong."

"Thank you, Miss Yun." The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly. Heng was so scared that he stood up and crawled back to the shop.

"Palace Court." The shadow of the palace was opened in the courtyard, and the man could not help but ask the guest, "Palace Court?"

Holding the umbrella tightly, they turned around and asked calmly, "What's wrong?"

The Queen Mother took the umbrella from Heng and held it high up. "The sun is so bright that it can't cover me."

Shen Tingheng avoided the guest's sight and said, "It's okay, my hands are hot."

The palace lady looked at them, but she didn't say anything, nor did she move the umbrella away.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Lin Xiaowu's heart-wrenching screams were heard on the quiet street, and she ran out of the family shop with her skirt lifted up, followed by two Jinwu guards. The Lin family's maid followed far behind, running with her teeth bared.

"What's up, are you guys okay with the assassination?!" He grabbed the palace lady's hand, his forehead sweating. "I heard the assassin is going to kill us?!"

"My hand is fine." Seeing Lin Xiaowu's face full of fear, the Queen Mother glanced at the guests beside her and said, "My Queen Mother, have you opened the palace? Someone will stab me."

The Queen Mother signaled to the Queen Mother with her eyes, and Lin Xiaowu noticed that the Queen Mother was standing next to the Queen Mother, and he knelt down to greet the Queen Mother, "Greetings, Queen Mother."

"Cousin, you must be polite." Tai Kai nodded slightly.

Lin Xiaowu was stunned. His grandmother said she was the late emperor's half-sister, so his mother said she was the current emperor's cousin. Logically, she could be considered a distant cousin, but it felt strange for her to be called a cousin for the first time.

After being surprised by the sudden address of "cousin", Lin Xiaowu discovered that a few steps away, the Jinwu Guards had a man with an arrow stuck in the chest and blood dripping from his feet. He was so scared that his scalp went numb.

"Don't be afraid, Yun is alive." The palace lady covered her eyes and said to the guest Shen Tingheng, "Princess, please send someone to escort Princess Lin back to the mansion."

"People walk, hands must accompany the way..."

"Don't make trouble, we'll see you when we get to Chuangta." The palace lady didn't loosen her eyes, "Let's go to the palace and have fun for a few days, stay in the mansion for a couple of days, and then we'll go out."

“Keyun…”

"Don't worry, the palace hasn't been opened yet, so don't worry." The palace lady looked up and saw Xia Yu and Qiu Shuang coming. She called Qiu Shuang and asked her to go with the Jinwu Guards to accompany Lin Xiaowu and the other maids back to the mansion.

"Don't worry, cousin. I will definitely send Princess Yun home safely." Shen Tingheng said, "Let's go back early so that Princess Yun won't worry."

Seeing that Taikai had also spoken, Lin Xiao and the other five insisted and obediently left under the escort of the Jinwu Guards.

"Xia Yu, it's too late to run back home. Dad and mom won't worry about you." The palace lady smiled and said, "The palace lady has opened the door. Please be careful when you come."

"Cloud." Xia Yu bowed to Taikaifu, then bowed and left the courtyard.

Perhaps it was too hot, and the ears of the man in the hall had turned red without anyone noticing. He saw the palace lady holding up her Taoist umbrella and said to the guest, "Let me do it."

Heng was originally half a head taller than Dian Tai. In order to take care of Heng's height, Dian Tai had to raise her arms high, which was very tiring for them.

Just as he was about to step forward to hold an umbrella for Princess Yun, Mo Wen heard Taikai's words. He tiptoed back three steps away and lowered his head toward the courtyard.
Rong Heng lowered his head and looked at himself on the ground. He suspected that his head was stinging from the sun and he felt dizzy. How could anyone think that the Queen Mother was in love with Princess Yun?

Taikai often gave gifts to the Yun family. He invited Princess Yun to visit the Chenxi Palace. He gave all the boxes of storybooks he had brought back to Princess Yun. He...

Mo Wen's body was shaking. The weather was too hot, the cicadas were too noisy, and his mind was too confused.
But how could this be possible? It was clear that the palace and the princess had never had any contact with each other before.
Heng Shi really didn't want anyone to understand, when did Dian Ting Yun start to have these thoughts about Princess Yun?
When the imperial doctors were brought to the palace by the Jinwu Guards on horseback, their arms and legs were not shaking at all. They were standing well in the palace courtyard and nothing happened. They all breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your humble servant has seen the palace. Does anyone know which of you is ailing?"

"You gentlemen have arrived at the right time. Please help me pass it. What kind of poison is this?" The palace lady took the initiative to speak, pointing to the ground at her feet. It was almost dry and there was only a layer of sticky icing sugar mixed with mud. It was very disgusting to pass through.

Several imperial doctors saw the assassin who was bleeding all over, but they were smart enough not to ask any more questions and all gathered around the pool of dry ice water.
To be a royal doctor, it is enough to have good medical skills, no one can talk too much.

"Your Highness, the weather is so hot, let's go to the teahouse and wait." The palace lady's eyes and ears were red. "Your servant is a little hot."

"Okay." Shen Tingheng turned around and put away his umbrella. When he stepped over the steps of the teahouse, he put his hand next to Dian Tai's wrist, and then quickly put it back.

The Empress Dowager was short of capable people around her. Not long after she sat in the court, someone brought them a basin of ice and tea. The assassin who was shot by an arrow was taken to the outer room by the Jinwu Guards. Heng raised his head with great effort and stared at the Empress Dowager with hatred in his eyes.

If the palace was stabbed, why did Heng hate Tai Kai so much that he shot him with an arrow, but instead hated him even more?

From time to time, people outside could hear the sound of dripping water, and the sound of blood falling into the courtyard.

Shen Tingheng did not order the assassins to stop bleeding, and Dian Tai did not make any move, and even picked up the teacup to drink from them.

Half an hour later, the Jinwu Guards brought in three men and women dressed as ordinary people. The people had not shouted for justice at first, but when they saw the assassin covered in blood, they all quieted down.

"It's no problem to come here and confess that there is no assassination. Heng Ting is indeed an assassin." The palace lady put down the tea cup and praised the guest with a satisfied expression, "Dian Ting, since Heng has not reported the assassination, take Heng Ting to stop the bleeding first."

The assassin was already dying, and after hearing what the Queen Mother said, he opened his eyes wide in disbelief. Heng clearly didn't say anything, so why did these women slander Heng? !
Heng wanted to explain to his companions, but Yun Jinwuwei hit him with an arrow that pierced Heng's body, and Heng fainted from the pain.

Rong "Although Heng has saved your lives temporarily, we haven't stabbed you yet." The palace lady stroked the pattern on the teacup, looked at the back of the assassin who was dragged out, and said to the other two male and female guests, "As long as you can tell me something about the assassin, I can plead for you and save your lives."

"Stop pretending, if you want to kill, just kill, we're going to get a trap." The leading assassin said expressionlessly, "Sooner or later, we'll stab someone and take their head..."

Bang!
A teacup hit Heng on the head, breaking his head and causing blood to flow. "You are lying to the princess," Shen Tingheng wiped his fingertips with a handkerchief and slowly said, "Drag Ting to be executed by slow slicing."

The pupils of the two assassins left in the court trembled greatly. They didn't expect that Wen Helai would use the rumored death penalty by slicing as soon as he opened his mouth.
What a benevolent and virtuous king, it's all lies.

"I know that you are the death squad. Even if you are sentenced to death, no one will reveal the mastermind behind the scenes." Shen Tingheng walked towards the guests expressionlessly, "I will give you an hour. If you are still willing to speak after this hour, I will sentence you to death by slicing."

"We have to wait for an hour." The female assassin said palely, "We can execute the assassins now."
After saying this, he also laughed out loud, "If only people knew that they would torture us today, who would dare to stab us tomorrow and boast that we are a benevolent ruler?"

"I am only kind to the common people of Dalong. As for passers-by like you, you are not worthy of my pity." The palace lady who had never been around said with a cold expression, "I don't care how others treat me."

"You are the kind of people who are good at dealing with people. What qualifications do you have to ask the emperor to open his mouth?" The emperor stood up and walked in front of the two assassins. "As the saying goes, villains fear power and people fear virtue. You are the kind of villains who only know how to plot and scheme. Are you worthy of the emperor's kindness?"

He also lowered his head and whispered in the female assassin's ear, "Besides, who would know that the Yun Palace had issued an order for Ling Chi to come to you? In the entire capital, who knows that the Yun Palace's Queen Mother is a vindictive playboy. Just because you want to throw dirty water on the Queen Mother, it's really a big joke."

"Here..." The female assassin glared at Dian Tai angrily and opened her mouth to bite her, but Dian Tai grabbed her butt.

"We hate this guy so much that he has to take care of everything so that the killer can remind us of our old friend."

The assassin's eyelids trembled.

The palace lady laughed at the guests, "In the past, Concubine Zeng had sent people to hunt down assassins several times, but unfortunately, she killed people even though she didn't have the power at that time. Now she can rely on you useless people and want to kill them?!"

He also pushed the assassin aside and wiped his hands with a handkerchief. "Your Majesty, I beg you to execute them immediately."

"it is good."
Shen Tingheng asked someone to bring water and help the palace lady wash her hands.

Hearing the sound of rushing water, he moved his fingers in the water without looking at us, and then quickly looked away. "The assassins who hunted down the Yun family back then were sent by King Yun Ni to assassinate two groups of people."

The sound of water stopped immediately. The lady took the cloth handed to her by Mo Wen and wiped her hands. She turned around and sat down at the table. After a moment of silence, she said, "Thank you for telling me."
He also walked back to the table and sat down. "Back then, the Second Prince tried to win over my father. My father saw that the Second Prince was cruel and had no mercy on the people. People were willing to go along with the Second Prince. That's when Heng began to attack the Yun family."

"It's still Heng who's here to open it, and he's also sent someone here before."

"The second prince's family is lustful and lustful. He got drunk in the palace several times and tried to force the maid to come to the palace to rescue her." The palace lady remembered these grudges clearly. "Several times, Heng came to the palace to bully people, but was stopped by the hand. It's strange that Heng has no hatred for Wei Mao."
With such a person's character, how can he still have a broad mind?

"Although Heng is dead, at least the palace knows that Heng has taken action against the Yun family." The palace lady tapped the table lightly with her fingertips, and she will go to "visit the grave" for her father tomorrow.

"How did the palace know about this?" The palace was a little curious. He had been back in Beijing for half a year, and he only found out that among the seventeen waves of assassins, some of them were related to the Second Prince's Mansion, and no one knew how many people the Second Prince's Mansion had sent.

"Back then, the two princes rebelled and the case was opened. After my father ascended the throne, Yun You was the one who investigated it." Shen Tingheng lowered his head and walked over to the teacup. Huawenke said, "I found out about this matter by accident."

"I see." The palace lady smiled at the guests, "Thank you very much."

"If the princess still wants to investigate the assassination, I can help." Shen Tingheng said, "The Yun family has been loyal for generations, and I deserve this ordeal."
No one deserves to suffer such pain and torture.

The room became quiet again. After a long time, a sound of Dian Tai's chuckle could be heard from the room.

"Thank you so much for your kindness, Your Majesty." The Queen Mother stood up and felt deeply blessed for Shen Tingheng.

The setting sun climbed through the window lattice, dyeing our clothes with orange sunlight. We walked through the courtyard in the halo. I really wanted to know. At this moment, I lowered my head, hoping that everyone would really believe what we said.

"Hand me over and take me back." Heng didn't ask anything in the end. He stood up and helped the guest up. "The scenery of Changyang Palace is beautiful. It's a good place to study and paint. If your brother is disliked by others, let Heng stay in Changyang Palace for a while."

"Thank you, Dian Ting. My brother Ruoyun will definitely be very happy to know that he can go to the temporary palace to accompany the emperor." Dian Tai stood up and said, "I will tell Heng the good news when I go back."

There was a smile on her lips, and her figure and eyes were gentle.

The news of the assassination of the Queen Mother spread to all the palaces, and even the Ning Wang Mansion got the news.

　Prince Rongning walked through the corridor in a daze, put down his brush and walked out. Outsiders knew that he was not thinking anything. When Heng came to his senses, he could already see the gate of Yun Mansion from afar.

When the carriage with a golden dragon pattern stopped at the gate of the Yun family, and Mrs. Yun walked out of the house to the carriage in the sunset, Prince Ning finally came back to his senses from his trance.

Tingheng walked in with an expressionless face. Tingheng had a gentle smile on his face. He helped Mrs. Yun into the Yun family's gate, as if he had not experienced such a ridiculous farce.

"Your Highness." The Queen Mother stood behind the threshold of the Yun family's house. "Don't worry, I'm fine now. It was just a little frightening. I'm used to it."
Shen Tingheng smiled gently and said, "I am not used to scaring you. Don't worry and go back. I have asked Mo Wen to pass on the message. It is a mistake for you to come here today. Your father and mother will scold you."

The palace lady came to the palace and took out the jade pendant from the palace's waist and placed it in the palace's palm. "Everyone, please calm the palace down."

The icy jade pendant rolled in Tingheng's palm. Looking at the back of the palace lady walking away, he spread his five fingers and held the jade bead tightly in his palm.
The lady of the Yun Palace had to come and guard the door respectfully, and wait for Heng to leave before returning home.

Heng wrapped the jade pendant in a lotus leaf and placed it on his chest. He turned his head to look into the distance with a smile on his face.

"Uncle." Shen Tingheng walked up to Shen Ruijing and asked, "Why is there no place?"

Ruijing walked past Daoheng and sneered after a long while, "I heard that Princess Yun has not found the mastermind behind the assassination of the Yun family. It's great that Yun has found a good helper."

Shen Tingheng had no words.

"It's not too early to be promoted to the top, and Yun will be the future emperor of Dalong, so of course Yun has the most suitable and useful person in mind." Shen Ruijing mocked the Taoist, "My good nephew, but you want to be a woman to use as a tool."

"Uncle." After Heng finished speaking, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Prince Yun, why do you greet me?"
