Chapter 898 Keeping Secrets

Seeing so many officials echoing Chen Shuda's proposal, Pei Ji was anxious and hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty must not agree.

"If a big investigation is conducted, the news will definitely reach the ears of those with ulterior motives, and then the rebellion will be caused and the consequences will be unimaginable.

"There are also the Turks and the barbarians of Tuyuhun. If they knew that the King of Qin was seriously injured, they would definitely take the opportunity to send troops to invade the Central Plains."

A sneer flashed across Xiao Yu's lips and asked without hesitation: "Pei Pushe blocked His Majesty from thoroughly investigating this case, is it because you sent the assassin?"

Li Yuan's eyes looked at Pei Ji with a "swish".

"..." Pei Ji was scared and sweated in a cold sweat and immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty, I have never sent anyone to assassinate the King of Qin, and I have never had this idea. Please ask Your Majesty to observe clearly."

Seeing this, the officials who wanted to stop him immediately closed their mouths for fear of arousing the emperor's suspicion.

Li Yuan looked at the minister below and suddenly had a headache. He raised his hand and pressed his temples, forcing himself to calm down.

The emperor had not spoken for a long time, and Chen Shuda and others kept kneeling and did not urge him.

Pei Ji didn't dare to speak, and didn't know what to say to stop this thorough investigation.

Others were even more arrogant and dared not show off, and they lowered their heads and tried to reduce their presence.

After a long time, Li Yuan, who had thought deeply, finally spoke: "I took the Dali Temple Minister, the Minister of Justice, and the Censor-in-Chief to jointly investigate the assassination of the King of Qin."

"I will receive the order."

"Retreat the court."

"Give me a greeting to Your Majesty."

Li Yuan left with a calm face, and Qian Jiulong and Li Zihe hurriedly followed.

"Who leaked the news?"

When he arrived at the corridor outside, Li Yuan's inward anger burst out.

Qian Jiulong and Li Zihe showed shame on their faces: "I don't know."

"Then go check it out." Li Yuan roared angrily.

"yes."

The two of them went to do it immediately.

"Wait." Li Yuan called them again and said, "Li Zihe, go and check this matter.

"Qian Jiulong, stay and assist the three departments in the investigation."

The two of them said yes, and they took their own actions.

Li Yuan rushed forward and asked, "Have the King of Qin and Jinyang woke up?"

Yue Yu replied: "Doctor Zhen sent someone to send news just now that Princess Jinyang had just woken up, but the King of Qin had not yet awakened."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan was both happy and disappointed.

He hurried to the West Partition Hall, and as soon as he walked into the hall, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

I saw Wang Yu sitting on a chair? He kept directing Chunhua and Qiuyue to hold things and feed them to her with his eyes, and his mouth was stuffed with a lot of stuff? But she swallowed it in just a few breaths? Then he continued to stuff food.

"You...she..." The palace servants in the hall saw Li Yuan and hurriedly saluted.

Wang Yu heard the movement? He looked over and saw that it was Li Yuan? She pulled her mouth open? She screamed vaguely: "Aye."

"Your Majesty." Chunhua and Qiuyue stopped feeding and retreated aside.

Li Yuan frowned and walked to Wang Yu. Seeing her reaching out to get the chopsticks, he snatched away the chopsticks? He said with a calm face: "Are you poisoned? You have been unconscious again for so long, and you can't eat so much."

"But..." Wang Yu was already clear at this moment: "I had breakfast yesterday, and I never ate anything again.

"Aye, I'm so hungry, I'm still very hungry..."

Looking at Wang Yu's longing and begging gaze? Li Yuan felt sad. He looked away. He blinked his eyes and forced the enthusiasm in his eyes.

Then?       He picked the lightest bowl of white porridge from the table and handed it to Chunhua: "Feed this to Jinyang?                                         

"Aye~" Wang Yu shouted dissatisfiedly.

Li Yuan comforted her softly: "You just woke up? You can't eat too much? I'll forget what I ate just now. After eating this bowl of porridge, I'll eat something else in two hours.

"good!"

As he said that, Li Yuan gently touched her head, just like she coaxed her to take medicine when she was a child.

A warm current surged in Wang Yu's heart. She lowered her eyes and said "um" obediently.

After eating the porridge, Chunhua led the palace maids to clean up and then retreated.

Li Yuan began to ask: "What happened yesterday?"

Wang Yu had already prepared and replied respectfully: "Yesterday, my second brother and I wanted to go to the Via Chang Pavilion to play polo, but when we passed by Ningxiang Pavilion, we met an assassin.

"Those assassins have very high martial arts skills. Judging from their pace and movements, they should have been soldiers. There are too many people and I am exhausted, so I was knocked out by them.

"When I woke up, I saw Mr. Yin, his guards, and the palace maids around Concubine De. They said they wanted to take me to another place.

"They fed me a glass of water, and somehow my head hurts so much, and then my eyes start to turn black, and then... I don't know anything.

"Wake up again and I'm here."

Wang Yu raised his head and looked at Li Yuan with watery eyes: "I thought... I would never see Aye again, but fortunately..."

Her voice became even more swallowed and she could no longer speak.

Li Yuan's eyes were moved, he reached out and touched her head, and said softly: "Good boy, you have been wronged, don't worry, Aye will never let you suffer in vain."

......

"Bang!"

The medicine bag fell to the ground, making a dull sound.

Zhen Quan scolded the palace servants: "Be careful, don't disturb the King of Qin."

The palace servant said timidly and hurriedly went to pick up the medicinal materials on the ground.

In the inner room, Li Shimin opened his eyes.

"King..." Yuchi Jingde and Qin Shubao were very excited when they woke up.

But Li Shimin "booed" and signaled him not to speak out.

"Go and call the Imperial Doctor in, don't reveal what happened to me when I woke up." Li Shimin's voice was very weak, and he deliberately lowered it, only Yuchi Jingde and Qin Shubao, who were standing by the bed, heard it.

After the two called Zhen Quan into the inner room, Yuchi Jingde was guarding outside, while Qin Shubao was with Li Shimin.

"Master..." Zhen Quan was also excited to see Li Shimin wake up, but immediately lowered his voice after receiving Qin Shubao's warning: "Master, you are awake, how can you feel uncomfortable?"

Li Shimin did not answer this question, but said to Zhen Quan: "Please ask the imperial physician not to tell anyone about my waking up, including Your Majesty."

Zhen Quan was stunned: "...why?"

"Don't ask, just do as you please. After my injury heals, I can satisfy you any requests you have."

Zhen Quan was silent. This condition was indeed very attractive, but it meant that he had to lie to the emperor.

Seeing that he was hesitant, Li Shimin continued to lobby: "To be honest, the assassin who almost killed me this time was from the East Palace. If they knew that I was safe and sound, they would continue to send people to assassinate me. At that time, those around me will be in danger, including you.

"It is true that this is the Tai Chi Palace that is strictly guarded, but the other party has a noble status and many ears in the palace. His Majesty has not imprisoned him. It is easy for him to kill you and me, especially since I am seriously injured now and have no power to resist."

Zhen Quan's face turned pale. Although he knew that the King of Qin was stabbed by the assassin, he didn't know who the person behind the assassin was. Now that the King of Qin told him such a secret matter, he had to make a choice.

Either follow the words of the King of Qin or report to the emperor truthfully, or he can report to the prince...

"But if you can help me keep a secret and help me catch the real murderer, as I said just now, I can satisfy you if you have any requests.

"I can do it no matter whether you want to be an imperial physician or a title."

Hearing Li Shimin's promise, a light flashed in Zhen Quan's eyes.

He is now just a ninth-rank imperial physician, but the Imperial Physician Order is the highest official of the Imperial Physician Department. Although he is only a seventh-rank official, this is the highest official position among doctors in the country, and his glory is incomparable to other official positions.

Moreover, the prince sent someone to assassinate the King of Qin in the palace. Judging from the current formation of Tai Chi Palace, His Majesty should soon find out the prince.

If you harm your brothers and commit crimes in the Forbidden Palace, Your Majesty will depose the prince. At that time, the only one who can sit on the throne of the prince will be the King of Qin...

Li Shimin did not urge him to think quietly.

Zhen Quan did not think for long, and he quickly made a decision: "I am willing to go through fire and water for the king, and my heart will be lost."

very good.

Li Shimin showed a satisfied look: "If your Majesty asks later, you will say that..."
