Chapter 817 Accident
In the palace, Emperor Wen and Yun Li were checking the urgent military information sent from Fuzhou.
However, the two of them just glanced at each other and angrily threw the so-called urgent military information aside.
Not to mention Yun Li, even Emperor Wen kept scolding Yun Zheng secretly in his heart.
This traitor is getting more and more outrageous.
Dare to send any nonsense to the imperial city in the name of urgent military information.
This is already the second time!
Emergency military information was treated as child's play by him!
Next time I see this traitor, I must kick him hard!
"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, our troops were suddenly attacked by assassins on North Street..."
Just when Emperor Wen He and Yunli were scolding Yun Zheng in their hearts, Qiao Yan sent someone back to report the news.
Most of the dozens of assassins who participated in the assassination of Cui Wenjing and others were killed or captured.
Only a few people took advantage of the chaos and escaped.
This time, their arrangements were also extremely precise.
It would be almost impossible for any assassin to escape unless someone who conveyed urgent military information suddenly broke in.
In addition, they also found many standard crossbows at the assassination site.
After saying that, the person who came back to report respectfully presented the powerful crossbow found at the scene.
Yun Li took it over and took a look, and a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
It is indeed a standard crossbow!
This type of standard crossbow can only come from two places.
In the military or as a craftsman!
"This traitor's hand is stretched too far!"
Emperor Wen looked at the crossbow in Yun Li's hand and said with a frosty face: "It's time to see Cui Wenjing! We must dig out all the people of Lao Liu! Otherwise, you, the prince, will be killed by his people who knows what day." Assassinated!"
"Father is right!"
Yun Li nodded and stood up with Emperor Wen.
The father and son left the Imperial Garden and went to the inner prison of the Prince's Mansion.
However, as soon as their sedan arrived halfway, someone from the Prince's Mansion came to report that Cui Wenjing suddenly fell ill, had a high fever, and fell into a coma.
After receiving this news, the expressions of both father and son changed at the same time.
Cui Wenjing cannot die!
"Quickly, send the imperial doctor!"
Emperor Wen opened the curtain of the sedan and sternly ordered Mu Shun: "We must save Cui Wenjing!"
Cui Wenjing cannot die!
He also wanted to know who was behind Cui Wenjing.
Mu Shun did not dare to neglect, and quickly sent someone to ask for the imperial doctor.
When they arrived at the Prince's Mansion, Yun Li immediately ordered people to carry Cui Wenjing from the dark and damp inner prison to the room.
By the time the imperial doctor arrived, Cui Wenjing was already dying.
Emperor Wen directly gave the imperial physician a death order, and he must save Cui Wenjing.
However, Cui Wenjing's situation is too bad.
Even though several imperial doctors took turns to rescue him, they could not save Cui Wenjing.
When the imperial doctor announced the news of Cui Wenjing's death, Emperor Wen almost died in anger.
Everything is going according to his ideas.
Unexpectedly, in the end, Cui Wenjing had a problem.
"Trash! It's all trash!"
In anger, Emperor Wen cursed several imperial doctors.
Several princes were kneeling on the ground, too afraid to raise their heads.
"Father, calm down."
Yun Li quickly persuaded Emperor Wen, "Although Cui Wenjing is dead, we have also captured many assassins. Maybe we can get some useful things from them..."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Mu Shun also persuaded: "Cui Wenjing is dead. It's not worth it for Your Majesty to ruin your body because of such a person."
After Yun Li and Mu Shun took turns comforting him, Emperor Wen's expression improved slightly.
After driving away several imperial doctors, Emperor Wen sat there, breathing heavily.
Emperor Wen tried his best to suppress his anger, and ordered Yun Li: "Order people to interrogate those assassins carefully, and never let those assassins die again!"
"My son understands!"
Yun Li quickly agreed.
"Remember, Cui Wenjing was shot by those assassins! He didn't die of illness!"
Emperor Wen reminded Yun Li with a black face and left the Prince's Mansion full of anger.
After sitting on the sedan chair, Emperor Wen was still angry.
However, amidst the endless anger, Emperor Wen had a hint of complicated happiness in his heart.
Of course he knew that Cui Wenjing was not from Yunzheng.
If Cui Wenjing asked the person behind it, maybe he wouldn't know how to deal with it.
If it were one of his sons or concubines, would he kill them with his own hands?
If this incident can make those who were lucky enough to escape the disaster completely restrain themselves and never dare to think about making trouble again, this would be the best outcome.
Regarding the person behind Cui Wenjing, Emperor Wen also had some speculations in his mind.
However, he was only guessing and did not dare to make a conclusion.
Moreover, he had several suspects, and he was not sure who they were.
It seems that they need to be beaten!
He didn't want his sons to fight for the throne again.
They have no need to fight anymore!
To put it bluntly, even if they win the throne, they will not be able to sit firmly in that position, and they will cause disaster to all living beings and plunge Daqian into civil strife.
Daqian is already the third generation from the founding emperor to the present!
It took three generations of emperors fifty to sixty years to manage Daqian into what it is now.
He didn't want to see all their years of hard work go to waste, and he didn't want to see his sons lose their lives fighting for a position they couldn't secure.
If they live in peace from now on, this will be the best thing so far!
……
Late at night, deep in the palace.
After confirming that Cui Wenjing was dead, the woman behind the scenes let out a long breath and slumped down on the bed with her body limp.
Her body was soaked with nervous sweat.
When she learned that what happened on North Street was a trap, she fell into despair.
She was even prepared to commit suicide before the death decree arrived.
Unexpectedly, when she was at her most desperate, she would learn that Cui Wenjing had died of injuries.
When she first got the news, she still didn't believe it, and she didn't even dare to be happy, for fear that her happiness would be in vain.
It wasn't until she was sure that Cui Wenjing was really dead that she finally felt at ease.
As for the captured assassins, she wasn't worried at all.
Those people didn't know her identity at all, and even if they were all caught, they wouldn't be able to confess her.
After a long time, the woman stood up with the help of the old palace maid, walked slowly to the statue of the god enshrined in the room, knelt down in front of the statue devoutly, and thanked the god for his blessing.
After kowtowing and offering incense, the woman then told the old palace maid: "From today on, no one can act rashly without my order. Everyone please stay safe with me!"
Today, there are too many people staring at them.
Emperor Wen, Prince Yun Zheng.
Of these three people, even Yun Li, who is the easiest to deal with, is not a fuel-efficient lamp!
There is no doubt that this matter is not over yet, and her forces will definitely be attacked.
They must no longer act rashly and just develop their power quietly.
Hibernating!
What they need most now is to stay dormant so that no one can catch her!
If you are not more than 80% sure of winning, you must not take action again...
