Bai Fu rode his horse into the palace, crying and crying.
Prince Zhou, Li Yuanfang, was assassinated!
This news could no longer be concealed. It was like a hurricane that quickly swept in all directions.
As a prince who had just made a contribution to the court, Li Yuanfang was in the limelight.
To actually be killed by a group of people at this critical juncture was truly too shocking.
For a moment, the entire palace was shaken.
The news of Li Shi Min's rage was quickly spread to the concubines, servants, and palace maids.
After hearing about the cause and effect, everyone unanimously decided to behave themselves for a while to avoid being angered by the Emperor.
In the royal study.
Bai Fu kneeled on the ground and cried loudly.
"Your Majesty, you must help us.”
"His Highness is a good person, but tonight, a thief threatened to exterminate the entire Zhou Prince's residence. I beg Your Majesty to investigate this matter thoroughly. I beg Your Majesty to send a doctor to the residence.”
As he cried, he kowtowed to the ground until his forehead was swollen. His attitude was extremely humble.
His mission was to create a ruckus so that Li Shiming had no choice but to step forward.
"Stop kneeling. You want to call the imperial physician, but is Yuan Fang frightened?”
Li Shi Min's deep voice came from above.
Bai Fu nodded.
"Yes."
"Zhen will send the imperial physician back with you. Zhen will investigate this matter to the end.”
"Thank Your Majesty on behalf of His Highness."
"Yes, you may leave."
After Li Shi Min waved his hand, Bai Fu tactfully left the royal study.
After a while…
Suddenly, Li Shiming asked a question.
"Zhen knows that Hou Junji is petty and holds grudges. A few days ago, he had a quarrel with Ninth Brother…"
Feng Le was speechless. Hou Junji wasn't stupid enough to kill someone over a few words.
Li Shi Min's face twitched as he glared at Feng Le.
"Hou Junji turned around and killed my younger brother for a few words. Only you can come up with such a ridiculous idea.”
"Uh…"
Feng Le covered her mouth.
Oh no, he was talking to himself again.
When Feng Le found out that her old habit was acting up, she immediately smiled ingratiatingly.
"Your Majesty, I will definitely watch my mouth next time and not speak nonsense.”
Li Shi Min laughed. He didn't believe this at all.
However, other than this small problem, Feng Le was still quite efficient in doing things. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to get into the position of Special Shun Middle Temple.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk about you. The assassin definitely wasn't Hou Junji.”
"The Martial Lord in charge of Longevity Extension Lane just so happens to be Hou Junji. We suspect that Hou Junji has neglected his defenses.”
"Thus, before the morning court session tomorrow, you must remind Us that Hou Junji's jurisdiction will be swapped with the other Martial Marquises.”
Feng Le responded obediently, gloating in her heart.
The unlucky Lord Hou was shot even while lying down!
……
It was a long night. Bai Fu brought the imperial physician and rode back to the Prince Zhou's residence.
Cough cough, the imperial doctor had come to visit, and the news of Zhou Wang's serious injury spread like the wind to all the high officials and nobles. Of course, the mastermind of this matter was also involved-the five surnames and seven sects.
At this moment, in the Wang family, the organizer of the gathering, Wang Teng had taken the painkiller soup prescribed by the government doctor and was leaning against a Silla maid.
The Silla maidservant did not understand Chinese, so Wang Teng kept her by his side.
In front of the bed, a burly man in night clothes was kneeling. His forehead was covered in bean-sized sweat.
Wang Teng narrowed his eyes and looked at the man with an ugly expression.
"That kid didn't die?"
The black-robed man trembled and reported in a stuttering manner.
"The information was wrong. There are two experts in the Zhou King's Mansion, but the seven men of sacrifice have not come out.”
"This subordinate couldn't receive anyone, so I specially came to ask for forgiveness from Master!”
Wang Teng's eyes widened in shock.
"None of the seven men of sacrifice succeeded. They couldn't kill a brat?”
After saying that, Wang Teng was not surprised to be angry!
The men of sacrifice that had been painstakingly nurtured for more than ten years had actually died in the Zhou Prince's residence. Every man of sacrifice had been nurtured with a lot of money, so how could they not feel heartache when they lost them?
"Tell me, what exactly happened? How did you keep watch?”
Wang Teng angrily shouted at the burly man kneeling on the ground.
The burly man shrunk his neck and swallowed his saliva as he replied.
"Tonight, we sneaked into King Zhou's residence. At first, everything went according to plan. The guards of King Zhou's residence were lured away. Of the seven men of sacrifice, three of them stood guard under the wall while the other four charged into the residence.”
"No one would have thought that Zhou Wang had two masters with him. One of the four men of sacrifice died and the other three quickly climbed over the wall.”
"This subordinate judged that the matter was going to blow up, so I could only take advantage of the loophole in the Longevity Extension Square's defense and rush back to report.”
Hearing this, Wang Teng's face was covered in frost. He stared at the black-robed man gloomily, his eyes flickering and not making a sound.
The more silent it was, the more uneasy the black-robed man kneeling on the ground became. A huge pressure swept through his entire body, and cold sweat covered his entire body, soaking his clothes.
The burly man knew that the failure of the mission was not only due to the wrong information, but also due to the death warrior's blind arrogance and underestimation of the enemy.
At this moment, a person pushed open the door and broke the rigid situation.
"Father, late at night, the Zhou Prince's mansion has invited the imperial physician. The assassination has already reached the heavens.”
Teng Wang snorted and said casually.
"This time, the attack was launched outside this area. After this incident, the Zhou Estate will definitely increase their defenses.”
"Inform all the families to stop and cut off the tail in time. Li Shimin won't be able to find out about us.”
Wang Teng's son frowned worriedly and could not help but ask.
"I heard from the Lord Wu that the Zhou Prince's mansion has captured a living person. Will those people give us up?”
"You answer him."
Wang Teng glared at the man in black and leaned against his concubine to rest.
The black-clothed man thought that he had finally escaped a calamity and replied respectfully.
"No, no matter who is caught, we will decisively kill ourselves.”
"Then I can rest assured." Wang Teng's son nodded in realization.
Wang Teng snorted and spoke slowly as he chased them away.
"Continue to keep an eye on this matter. If there's any follow-up, report to me in a timely manner.”
"This subordinate understands."
"Son, you should go and rest too. For you, this matter will end here.”
"Oh."
"Alright, alright, you can all leave. I want to rest.”
Seeing Wang Teng waving his hand to chase them away, the two of them quietly left the room.
Unexpectedly, after Wang Teng chased them away, he opened his eyes and muttered to himself.
"Today's ambush failed. In the future, it will be even more difficult to kill the surrounding people.”
……
Two flowers bloomed, each showing a branch.
On the King Zhou Residence, the old imperial physician was checking Li Yuanfang's pulse with a dark expression. Bai Fu and the others did not dare to breathe too loudly.
Ten minutes later…
"Your Highness has been frightened, and I'm afraid that you'll have a fever tonight. This old man left behind two sets of medicine, one to calm the nerves and the other to reduce the fever.”
"Thank you Imperial Physician. Please tell Imperial Brother when you return to the palace that this Prince will definitely enter the palace to thank him after he recovers.”
Li Yuanfang smiled faintly.
The old imperial physician stroked his beard and nodded happily.
"Sure, sure."
