"Last night, Lu Chen was assassinated in his bedroom..." As if telling a story, Homer whispered in her ear.

Leng Yiyao raised her eyes, was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw the other party's faint smile, and finally understood that when he picked her up before, he said "Look at it, it is estimated that it is Tonight, there's something going on over there with the royal family." What does that mean.

For two days in a row, two people have died in the palace, and this time it was Lu Chen, the first in line to the throne!

She only felt that the people in this country were not ordinary in their ability to act. Even if it is to usurp the throne, at this speed, it is extraordinary.

Glancing at the dining table, there are various types of breakfast, which are as rich as a five-star hotel. She picked some milk and toast at random, and ate some fruit.

A whole dinner plate looks like a lot of things, but she moves slowly. During the meal, there was a big circle in her mind - Homer didn't like to see Lu Chen in all kinds of ways, she could understand it completely, but, anyway, when others met yesterday, they had to turn around and turned around. Is it because she ate a lobster, soaked in a hot spring, and woke up comfortably until dawn, that Lu Chen was stabbed?

"Is the news only known to you, or has it spread to everyone?" Leng Yiyao pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked him.

Homer hooked his lips lightly, and did not answer directly, but reached for the remote control, and the TV embedded in the wall of the restaurant turned on with a snap.

On the Empire News Channel, the anxious look of the female anchor took over the entire screen.

"According to the latest news, there was a shooting in the palace at around 3 am this morning. The royal family spokesman announced this morning that the shooting scene was in the bedroom of the first prince Lu Chen. At present, the first prince's injuries are unknown, and the royal family has sealed the entire surrounding of the palace... "..." Behind the camera is the entrance to the palace, with a new scene of royal guards guarding the hurry. The lingering east wind blew the branches softly, and there was silence inside and outside the palace. All this is like a silent black and white drama, rendering the whole bright morning a chill.

Although the real power of the royal family is not comparable to that of the military, it has always been respected by the people since the founding of the country. Now, the emperor is in poor health, and the first heir to the throne has been assassinated. This situation vaguely reveals the turmoil of the royal family. For the people, it is like heaven. 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 country have heard the news and reported this matter one after another.

It was just a sleep, and when woke up, the wind direction of the imperial capital had changed.

She stood up slowly, put away the indifference on her face, and tapped the table with her fingertips. This was her subconscious action when she was thinking.

"You want to see him?" Hemo lowered his eyes and glanced at Leng Yiyao, who stood up, but only just reached his chin, and there was a touch of elegance in his eyes.

When Leng Yiyao heard his voice, she took time out of her thoughts to pause for two seconds, then she took time to look up, raised her eyebrows and smiled, and said concisely: "Are you jealous?"

Visiting the wounded is not a private meeting under the moon. There was something wrong with his tone.

"..."

Homer found that, for the first time, he was speechless.

Admit that he is jealous of a boy who has been pampered in his father's arms for so many years?

I'm sorry, his pride doesn't allow him to take this step.

"I'll send you." Although he didn't admit jealousy, he would never allow two people to get along alone. Especially when someone is hurt, vulnerable and isolated. I heard that this can easily stimulate women's desire for protection, who makes them the easiest to soften...

Well, although, with the woman in front of him, he doubted at all whether she had any complexes such as sympathy and desire for protection...

Leng Yiyao clicked and looked at the other party's black robe pajamas, "Are you going to send me like this?"

Not to mention the rest, it was just his messy collar and a small piece of collarbone exposed. She dared to guarantee that as long as he appeared near the palace like this, the young lady who just reported the assassination case of the royal family with an anxious and sad face, could Immediately, the nosebleed and the heartbeat exploded!

Homer followed her gaze and glanced down at himself.

In fact, it's okay, but when put on clothes in the morning, randomly pulled the neckline. However, what she meant in what she just said was that he had tacitly asked him to send her to the palace?

"Frey." He called out, and Frey, who was standing outside the door, straightened his back immediately: "Here!"

"Go prepare the car." He turned around and smiled at her: "Aren't your feet cold when you wear so little?"

Cold feet?

She lowered her head and glanced at her fluffy slippers, her ankles were exposed for a while, white and tender, and they were indeed very dazzling.

So, half a catty to eight taels? She disliked his inappropriate clothes, and he reminded her that slippers are not suitable?

Leng Yiyao snorted, no nonsense, and turned back to the room to change her shoes.

At 9:50, Frey had already parked his car at the gate of the palace. At this time, all the guards of the royal family were already on guard, let alone people coming and going, not even a fly could fly in.

All the media reporters have been cleared, and the main entrance is quiet, except for the guards, there is no one else.

Frey thought for a while, and then directly dialed the palace security office.

The last time he visited His Majesty the Emperor, the other party had already registered and entered his identity and contact information, so it was quickly verified.

Frey briefly introduced the purpose of his visit, and specifically pointed out that the marshal was there in person. If it is convenient, please "must" keep a low profile.

In the palace, although the first chief of the bodyguard died, the only people who were able to work in the security department were human beings. The marshal was usually very estranged from the royal family, but suddenly came here today. It can be seen that there is a reason for the incident, and naturally he did not dare to wait.

He ran directly to the door of His Royal Highness Lu Chen's palace and reported to Lu Chen's head guard in person.

A strange color flashed across the other party's eyes, but it was quickly suppressed, and he turned his head and ran into the bedroom to ask for instructions.

At this moment, Lu Chen was surrounded by four or five imperial physicians in the center, the bandages on his body had been dyed red, the blood on his face was obviously insufficient, his eyes were slightly sunken, and his expression was calm. Hearing the report from the head of the bodyguard, he paused slightly, then nodded for a long time. "You go meet me for me."

With his current injury, let alone getting out of bed, it is very difficult to even speak.

The imperial doctor surrounding him, with sweat on his forehead, only felt that it was disadvantageous for fleeting years.

Yesterday, was still surrounded by the emperor, but now it's okay, His Majesty the emperor's fever is not going away, his condition is not getting better, the eldest prince was assassinated again, and his life was almost at risk.

The guard was so ordered that he did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately ran towards the entrance of the palace.

The second princess just came in through the door with the soup medicine, and the two almost bumped into each other. Although the head guard avoided at the last moment, he still spilled a lot of the soup medicine in the bowl.

The red eyes of the second princess were full of bloodshots. 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. After finally exerting all his strength and pretending to be strong, he saw that the people under his son were so careless and reckless.

"What are you running! Where are the eyes!" If it wasn't for the soup for her son, she would have slapped her directly. The son was injured so badly because these dogs were not well protected!

The captain of the guard was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously settled on the spot and lowered his eyes. As the chief guard of the eldest prince, running wildly in the palace is indeed unsightly. Besides, the First Prince was injured, and he was indeed to blame.

"Cough-cough-cough" In the bedroom, there was a sudden coughing sound.

Listening to the sound, it was as if the throat was blocked with blood.

The second princess was so frightened that she had no time to teach the servants a lesson, so she hurried into the bedroom with the soup in hand.

The head guard was stunned for a moment, and he didn't dare to wait any longer, and went out to greet Marshal and Leng Yiyao.

Now that the emperor's first bodyguard is dead, although Lu Chen has not yet succeeded to the throne, in terms of his position, if Lu Chen ascends the throne, he will of course be the head of the palace guards. Therefore, he greeted him all the way, and everyone naturally did not dare to slack off. When he saw Hemo's appearance, he suddenly became silent! The palace gates opened layer by layer, the guards stepped back, and Hemo and Leng Yiyao walked almost unimpeded to Lu Chen's bedroom.

saw that the second princess was sitting on the soft seat beside Lu Chen's window with a blank face, watching the imperial doctor help him change the bandage.

The bloody bandages had been replaced, and they were thrown on the ground. In the room, there was a strong smell of blood.

Leng Yiyao glanced sideways, the gunshot wound was more serious than he imagined.

The bullet pierced through his left arm, and he didn't know if it had injured a blood vessel.

Because it was an injury to his arm, it was not easy to bandage it with clothes on, so the imperial doctors simply let Lu Chen bare his upper body so that he could change the dressing at any time.

Leng Yiyao only had time to take a look, but he was directly blocked by Hemo.

...

She was suddenly a little helpless and funny.

Do you want to tell him that when she was in the military academy, she had seen a lot of shirtless men like this. And he is the kind of guy who looks around, the playground is full of wheat-colored skin!

"You guys are here." Noticing the strangeness at the door, Lu Chen turned his head sideways and looked towards them. At first glance, she saw Homer standing in front of her.

He looked down at his current outfit, even though his head was sweating from the pain, and the sheets were almost wet behind his back, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly. At least, she came to the palace so soon, she still cared about herself a little, didn't she?

If Hemer really didn't take him seriously, why did he come with her?

So, if you don't have what you imagined, then you have no chance of winning, right?

Seeing that his son was already injured like this, he was distracted to look at the door. The second princess turned her head to look over, first saw Hemo, the whole person was slightly shocked, and subconsciously stood up on the soft seat, bent down, and saluted. When she saw Leng Yiyao walking out from behind Hemo, her face froze.

This, such a woman, is simply unscrupulous!

Yun Ying's unmarried lady, how dare she enter and leave a man's room like this? Or when her son was naked!

The key is that the marshal is also due to her temperament?

The second princess was about to open her mouth when Lu Chen gently squeezed her palm.

When she met her son's gaze, she only felt that all the words had vanished.

Why is there such a woman on the table? It's not good to like whoever, Fei and Marshal like the same one!

A stomach full of gas, but there is no place to attack. The second princess couldn't bear it anymore, so she turned her head away, pretending she didn't see anything!

"I'm sorry, I can't meet you in person." Lu Chen turned his face sideways, endured the pain at the wound, smiled, and first looked at Hemo politely, and then his eyes fell deeply on Leng Yiyao's. body, as if he never wanted to move away.

"Don't talk if you're so injured." Leng Yiyao glanced at the location of the wound, above the left arm, about 20 cm from the shoulder. If it was closer, it would penetrate the shoulder joint. Tired of returning to the sky. Even if it can save the next life, an arm will be useless by then.

"Cough cough - cough cough - it's okay." He pursed the corners of his lips, but his lips became even paler.

The second princess looked uncomfortable, but Hemo stood on the side and didn't speak. She didn't dare to speak without permission, but she seemed cramped.

Seeing the strange atmosphere, the imperial doctor carefully glanced at Lu Chen, and when he saw the other party motioning for them to step back, he immediately lowered his head and turned around without hesitation, fearing to hear something that should not be heard.

"I heard that the assassin came to your bedroom in the early morning, but can you see who he is?" Leng Yiyao stood two meters away from his bed and stopped.

Lu Chen shook his head, his face darkened: "The light is too dark, the other party fired a shot and disappeared immediately, and he couldn't see his face at all."

One shot and go?

A flash of surprise flashed in Leng Yiyao's eyes, "You didn't sleep at that time?"

If only one shot is fired and the person is asleep and can't hit, then the assassin is too unprofessional.

Lu Chen helplessly twitched the corners of his mouth: "I just came back from my father's palace at that time, I changed my pajamas and lay on the bed, without any sleepiness. Suddenly I heard the sound from the windowsill, I turned over to the head of the bed, and in the end, I was still a step slower. ."

After listening to Leng Yiyao, she gave him a deep look. After a long time, she looked back at the window sill, and it turned out to be directly facing his couch. It was too easy to hide someone.

"Is there anything special about that person? For example, left-handed, or strange hair color?" She pondered for a while, and then spoke slowly. His eyes were fixed on Lu Chen's face quietly, and all his reactions were engraved in his eyes.

"Wonderful hair color?" Lu Chen recalled in surprise for a while, then shook his head: "At that time, it was too dark, and I turned off the light again, so I couldn't see the person's front clearly. I only saw a vague figure from It flashed past the window sill, and it looked like it should be a man."

"After you were shot, the guards broke into the door?"

Only one shot, it may only be too late. She frowned and glanced at the entrance of the bedroom. Just at a ninety-degree angle to the window sill. Even if they rushed in, it was impossible to immediately block the shooting angle on the window sill.

"Yes. The guards rushed in when they heard the gunshot." Lu Chen lowered his head, his voice became hoarse, the assassin was not using random ordinary bullets, but armor-piercing bullets.

"Where are the bullets you took out? Show me." Leng Yiyao's brow furrowed more and more, she raised her head and glanced at Lu Chen.

The imperial physicians all left, and he couldn't get out of bed again. The second princess endured it, and saw the marshal standing there, with an expression that Leng Yiyao said was what he meant. The bullet he took out was handed to Leng Yiyao.

In the plate, the swaying bullets are three to four centimeters larger than the bullets in ordinary pistols, and the lethality and power are obvious.

"You're 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 didn't die, it was a stroke of luck.

"I have been wearing body armor since I was a child. Even when I changed into pajamas, I would wear it inside." Lu Chen endured the pain and pointed to the closet not far away. Sure enough, there was still a hanging on it. A body armor with a hole in it. Looking at the size, it coincides with the bullet in front of him.

Leng Yiyao narrowed his eyes, looked at the 7.7mm bullet in front of him, and pointed at it: "What material is this bullet made of?" The color is much different from that of an ordinary bullet.

Lu Chen seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then the coughing in his throat came in a hurry, and he coughed more and more and left.

The tears of the second princess were almost forced to fall. She really wanted to call someone to throw Leng Yiyao directly in front of her, but the marshal standing behind the other party just watched everything like the wind, that kind of spontaneous The shock of life made her whole body stiff, let alone rushing up to pull Leng Yiyao away, she didn't dare to say a word casually.

The head guard at the door probably heard Lu Chen's coughing too frequently, and leaned in cautiously.

Leng Yiyao turned back and beckoned to him, "Your master is not feeling well, come and see, what material is the tip of this bullet?"

The head guard was still confused at first, but when he could see the shape of the bullet and the tiny pointed tip, his expression suddenly became solemn, and his face was clearly full of rage.

"This kind of armor-piercing projectile is extremely rare. The metal shell does not completely cover the front end of the warhead because the core is lead. The lead core is exposed, which can increase the speed and efficiency of the warhead."

lead?

Leng Yiyao glanced at the expressions of Lu Chen and his chief guard, with a thoughtful expression on his face. "Lead is a rare metal in the Empire?" Otherwise, why did the two of them have such strange expressions when they saw this tiny warhead?

"Lead mines are very rare in China. So far, there are only two in the empire." The head of the guard's expression became more and more ugly. When he looked up and looked at Leng Yiyao, the black eyes were tight.

Leng Yiyao raised her eyebrows and slowly lowered her eyes: "The two places?"

"One is a lead mine located in the northwest outskirts 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, and the quantity is limited every year." Because lead is the non-radioactive element with the largest atomic weight and a carcinogen, so Mining restrictions are extremely strict.

"Where's the other place?" Leng Yiyao's eyes flashed with clarity, and his voice was thin and long.

"The other place is in a province in the southern part of the empire, and that happens to be the territory of the Grand Duke Lu Yun!" The guard's long face was condensed, and the words almost took all the patience!

Grand Duke Lu Yun, the emperor's eldest brother, that hot-tempered bearded uncle?

Leng Yiyao quickly lowered her eyes, and a sarcastic smile crossed the corner of her lips.

"The things are sealed, and you will send them to the police station in person later." She handed the plate to the head of the guard, and she couldn't help sighing when she saw the terrified and angry face of the second princess.

Lu Chen's right hand clenched the sheet tightly, as if he was struggling to suppress something. For a long time, in the whole room, only his heavy breathing could be heard.

Leng Yiyao glanced back at Hemo, the eyes of the two met, and they guessed each other's mind almost instantly.

"Lu Chen, take good care of your wounds first, hand over the bullets to the police, and the rest will take a long time to come." After she finished speaking, she gave him a meaningful look. Lu Chen opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, he lowered his eyes.

"The police should send someone to investigate soon. Homer and I will go first and call me if there is anything." She explained softly, talking to the wounded was too troublesome. Seeing that Lu Chen's back was soaked, she did not Stopped, turned around and walked towards the door.

Homer quietly looked at the pale and lonely figure lying on the bed, and smiled lightly for a long time.

On the way back, Frey clearly felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange, but glanced at the back seat, the two of them didn't seem to be looking calm, and for a while, it was a bit cloudy.

After returning to the Marshal's Mansion, Leng Yiyao sat in the living room, holding a cup of green tea at will, for a long time, she lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, suddenly met Hemo's eyes, and smiled quietly: "What do you think happened last night? ?"

"The specific situation, I guess only Lu Chen knows." Homer turned up the temperature of the air conditioner in the room and glanced at her fingertips. It looked so small and delicate that people couldn't help but want to play with it.

Only he himself knows....

Leng Yiyao chewed on these words, and a deep meaning flashed across his brows.

Judging from the current situation of the royal family, the eldest princess is excluded from the center of power. Because the eldest princess is a princess from a neighboring country, she has limited leverage in her own country. As a marriage with a pro-princess, her status is indeed precious, but if she wants to gain power in the empire, she must Kind of whimsical. After all, the two countries were belligerents. Not to mention the little princess, a doll was raised so well that even the two grand dukes shivered with fright when they said a heavy word. Excluding these people, there are some side branches left, and it is obviously impossible to compete for the throne.

With such a division, the situation is very obvious. The royal family is fighting, and now it is plain that it is the struggle between Lu Chen and his two uncles.

The emperor is lying on the bed right now, and even if there are no omissions, it is impossible to arrange for someone to make such a good "assassination" show.

She lazily went to the chair and looked at Homer with deep eyes: "How did you guess in advance that something would happen to the royal family last night?"

For others, this question may be incomprehensible, but for Homer, 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, and instantly, from top to bottom, locked her whole body in front of his arms. .

"The emperor's imperial physician disappeared and died. There was only Lu Chen at the scene. No matter how stupid the two grand dudes were, they were still a little far away from the pig teammates. At this juncture, they would never add to the story. If the situation continues like this, Lu Chen can only helplessly wait. He was robbed of the throne. But, you see, now he was assassinated in his own bedroom, and he also left a lead bullet, which is another scene." Especially armor-piercing bullets, in the current situation of unsolved cases one by one Next, he was shot by someone with a heart. Who has the guts, who has the motive?

Leng Yiyao raised her head, in front of him was his chest, and a little further up, it was his Adam's apple. When speaking, she slid up and down slightly, as if she was playing a guessing game with her. very obvious. "You mean... the bitter meat scheme?"

"Let's die and then live, this trick is just right, isn't it?" There is no empty head of the beauty in the vase. On the contrary, as long as she randomly points out a sentence, she can immediately push the boat and fully speculate the cause and effect. This character and ability alone made him sure that her vision and means were absolutely incomparable. Thinking of what he said just now that he almost praised Lu Chen, he turned his head and smiled lightly. He couldn't help but chuckle in a low voice: "Lu Chen, it's not as stupid as he looks."

At least, more than a month ago, in the face of his own ignorance, Lu Chen obviously didn't have this skill other than waiting dryly in the corridor outside the presidential suite in City D, ordering people to knock on the door and bluffing.

In such a short period of time, he has grown to the point where he can play such a bitter game with the two grand dukes. think there is a lot of motivation behind it.

"It's just a guess right now, isn't it?" Leng Yiyao supported her chin and looked at each other with a smile. Man, no matter who the rival in love is, he always shows a hormonal side. Although Homer didn't directly say anything wrong with Lu Chen, the vision and depth he showed completely crushed someone.

He didn't even need to send someone to check, but after hearing the mysterious death of the imperial doctor, he guessed that Lu Chen would make a move, so he specially picked her up in front of people and pulled her out of the quagmire.

"How do you want to verify it?" He lowered his head with a smile in his eyes. What she could figure out, she could understand in the blink of an eye. To be honest, he had never tried this kind of heart-to-heart feeling before. Even if Frey, who had been behind him for many years, had made several calls himself on many issues, the other party might not be able to keep up with his ideas, but the people in front of him were different. She seemed to move at will, as long as he said a few words, she could even think of things faster and more than him.

What should I do, I really want to lock her in my arms so that no one can see it!
