(Flowers has exceeded 1,000. You meet the requirements to add more chapters. I won't say much. Three words, add one chapter.)）
As soon as Di Renjie said that, Prime Minister Zhang Jianzhi kept winking at him. Emperor Wu Zetian's face became more and more gloomy. Di Renjie was a smart person. He knew that there must be something hidden. If he continued to ask, the Emperor would probably fly into a rage.
Therefore, Di Renjie decisively changed the topic. Seeing Di Renjie being so quick-witted, Zhang Jianzhi heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Everyone knew that the Emperor doted on King Xiang. Moreover, this matter was originally the Emperor's fault.
If Di Renjie got to the bottom of it, then Di Renjie himself might be exiled to the border or executed by the emperor, who would fly into a rage out of humiliation, let alone solve the case of the diplomatic mission being killed.
In the imperial prison, King Xiang Wu Zaisi walked out step by step. Other than his face being a little pale, there was nothing wrong with him.
He hadn't seen the sun for a long time, and when he suddenly saw the blinding sunlight outside, he subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands. It was also at this moment that a man dressed like a commoner suddenly charged at Prince Xiang Wu Zaisi.
The weapon in the man's hand shone brightly under the sunlight.
No one had expected that someone would be so bold as to commit murder at the entrance of the Heaven Prison in broad daylight. Moreover, the target of the assassination was the Emperor's favorite Prince Xiang, Wu Zaisi.
The ordinary jailers around Wu Zaisi were shocked. Before they could react, the killer had already appeared beside Wu Zaisi and stabbed the dagger at his throat.
Just when everyone thought that King Xiang Wu Zaisi was dead for sure, he fell heavily onto the gate of the Heaven Prison with a bang. He spat out a mouthful of blood and struggled to get up, but he couldn't.
On the man's chest, a shoe print was clearly visible.
A man dressed like a eunuch appeared beside Wu Zaisi. It was none other than Ancestor Sunflower. He said in a sharp voice," You're just a second-rate martial artist, yet you dare to assassinate King Xiang? I wonder who gave you the courage."”
"Someone will avenge me." After saying that, the man was about to bite the poison in his mouth, but he didn't expect that Patriarch Sunflower's Embroidery Needle would directly pierce his acupuncture point, rendering him immobile.
"Do you want to die now? Too late, you dare to assassinate His Highness King Xiang, I will make you wish you were dead. Pull out all his teeth and strip off all his clothes to prevent him from leaving any backup plans.”Ancestor Sunflower said with experience.
Only now did everyone react. When they thought of the Emperor's most beloved Prince Xiang almost dying at the entrance of the imperial prison because of their negligence, everyone present felt a lingering fear.
With the Emperor's love for King Xiang, they had no doubt that if King Xiang died, they would all be buried with him. Not only that, even their families would probably not be spared.
At this thought, the crowd was filled with gratitude toward Forefather Sunflower and hatred toward the man. In their hearts, they couldn't let the culprit die so easily.
After returning to King Xiang's Mansion, Wu Zaisi chuckled." I didn't expect that someone would dare to attack me now. I didn't expect that. I really didn't expect that!" Investigate, investigate for me. I want to see who has the guts to attack me.”
"Yes, Master."
Because there were many people present at the time, it did not take long for the news of King Xiang Wu Zaisi being assassinated at the entrance of the Heaven Prison to be known by all the major factions.
In the palace, Emperor Wu Zetian was furious. She didn't expect that someone would be so bold as to kill her beloved nephew. Moreover, it was at the entrance of the imperial prison, in front of everyone.
What was the meaning of this? This was provocation, a slap to her face.
"Pass down the decree, order the internal guards to investigate this matter thoroughly. Whoever is found, arrest them. If they resist, they will be punished for treason. In addition, he sent someone to the Xiang King's residence to sympathize with the Xiang King.”
As Wu Zetian spoke, she paused before continuing," In order to ensure King Xiang's safety, pass down the order. From today onwards, King Xiang's travels will be escorted by the Thousand Bull Guards to ensure his safety.”
When these words were said, even Shangguan Wan 'er was somewhat shocked and incredulous. After hesitating for a moment, Shangguan Wan' er said softly," Your Majesty, the Thousand Bull Guards are the Emperor's personal guards. Isn't Prince Xiang's behavior too..."
Wu Zetian knew what this meant. Normally, she wouldn't have done this in consideration of the impact. However, at this moment, Wu Zetian was feeling guilty towards Prince Xiang Wu Zaisi.
In Wu Zetian's heart, if he had not thrown Wu Zaisi into the imperial prison, Wu Zaisi would not have been assassinated by the thief. At this moment, Wu Zetian felt very guilty towards Wu Zaisi and wanted to compensate him.
Shangguan Wan 'er's words did not dispel Wu Zetian's thoughts. Instead, it made her even more determined." I've made up my mind. There's no need to say anything more. Just do as I say."”
In the Crown Prince's Palace, after learning that Prince Xiang Wu Zaisi had been assassinated at the entrance of the Heaven Prison, but was unharmed, Crown Prince Li Xian was extremely depressed! He didn't expect that the black-clothed man was actually such a good-for-nothing, so useless.
After casually sending the servants away, Crown Prince Li Xian came to the study alone. Just as he sat down, the voice of the man in black sounded in his ears again.
