An Eight-year-old Princess novel Chapter 1397

Luo Qingyan's face darkened, "Send someone out to check if anyone has seen anything and where the signal came from. Investigate it!"

"Yes, your majesty."

Yun Shang turned and exchanged a glance with Luo Qingyan, "Anyone with the wit may know that the chances of successful assassination in the palace are very slim, but they still had to take the risk. I'm afraid that they didn't really want to kill us. They were just testing us."

Luo Qingyan nodded, "Now that they have bribed these servants, they could actually poison the water we bathed in if they really wanted to kill us. In this way, they were more likely to succeed. They might just want to know how many secret guards we have kept in our palace... "

Luo Qingyan turned around and took a look at Yun Shang, whose clothes were completely wet. He took the cloak from a servant and put it on Yun Shang, "Put it on first. Don't catch a cold. Ask someone to bring some more water here for us to bathe again."

Qian Zhuo hurriedly asked someone to bring some hot water in, and then the voice of the commander of the imperial guards was heard from outside, "Your Majesty, I've heard about the assassination again. How are your majesties now?"

Luo Qingyan sneered, "If I waited for you to save me, I'm afraid my corpse was already cold now."

There were sounds of iron armors outside, as if they had all knelt down, "Your Majesty, please forgive us for being late."

Yun Shang held Luo Qingyan's hand and said, "It's you who don't allow the imperial guards to guard the inner palace. Just now, we were in the innermost part of the bedroom, so it's normal that the imperial guards couldn't hear anything."

Luo Qingyan also knew that, but he narrowed his eyes and insisted, "The imperial guards are not ordinary guards. Although we were in the pool just now, we made a big noise. Besides, when something happened to us, there must be servants shouting for help. However, the imperial guards still haven't come until now. It's not normal."

The servants had brought water in again. Qian Zhuo watched the servants pour the water and leave the bathroom before inviting Yun Shang in.

Yun Shang took a bath quickly and changed her clothes. When she came out, she heard someone talking in the outer hall.

Yun Shang walked out of the palace and listened carefully.

"The servant said that he had seen a lot of black shadows going to His Former Majesty's palace. I hurriedly led a small group of people there to have a check. On the halfway, we saw two dead bodies of the servants lying on the ground. There I saw a red spot on each of the two servants between their eyebrows where blood beads were faintly seen oozing out. I thought it must be done by some masters, so I felt it was a big deal. I quickly took people over there.

I didn't know that your majesty were attacked by some assassins until I came back. I asked the imperial guards who were patrolling around the Taiji Palace and knew that they were also trapped in the trick. They saw some figures flash by, and quickly chased after them.

Anyway, it's my fault. Your majesty, please punish me."

Luo Qingyan said in a cold voice, "You heard that some black shadows went to His Former Majesty's palace. Your first reaction was not to report to me, but to bring someone there directly? Huh... It's unforgivable for you to leave your post without permission. Worse still, you should fall into such a clumsy trick and was distracted by others.

Take the whipping penalty of thirty sticks yourself."

"Yes, your majesty."

Luo Qingyan pursed his lips and asked, "Did you hear who sent the signal?"

"Yes, I heard it. It should be from the southwest of the palace. But we still need to investigate the specific location. "

Luo Qingyan casually tapped on the table with his fingers while replying, "I'll send someone to investigate it carefully. You can go downstairs and get your punishment first."
