Li Jian was shocked and suddenly stood up.

"suicide?"

Miao Xian smiled bitterly.

"The king said he wanted to take a nap, so the guards left the palace gate to guard."

"I didn't expect that the king would actually hang himself with his own nightgown."

"I have asked someone to go to the palace doctor, and I will ask the king to come up with an idea."

Li Jian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"Hurry, take me to see!"

"Mao Sui, let me inform the left prime minister again!"

Li Jian hurriedly followed Miao Xian and headed towards Congtai not far away.

As he stepped forward, Li Jian's mind was also moving rapidly.

Li Jian hopes that King Zhao will not die.

If King Zhao died, the Zhao State, which had just stabilized, would probably have another wave.

Even the unified dynasties of later generations are likely to cause chaos and even civil wars when the kings alternate.

What's more, there are many neighboring countries around Zhao State who are eyeing each other, and there are also enemies like Qin State who wish they could attack the city of Handan tomorrow!

The queen of King Zhao gave birth to a son, who should be the King Zhao Daoxiang and Zhao Yan in history.

The problem is, Zhao Yan is less than one year old now.

The country is suspicious, which is certainly beneficial to powerful officials like Li Jian.

But other countries can also take the opportunity to launch other princes of Zhao and openly intervene in this battle for the throne.

Forty years ago, after the then Qin king, King Wu of Qin, died suddenly, Zhao Wuling, joined forces with Chu and Yan to send troops to escort Yingji, who was the host of Yan at the time, back to his country, defeated Ying Zhuang, who was supported by the Empress Dowager Wei of Qin, and became the new King of Qin.

Because of the slogan of fighting for the throne for Yingji, many local officials and people of Qin along the way did not resist at all, and let Zhao army surround Yingji and fight directly to the city of Xianyang.

If King Zhao dies, the same situation is likely to happen again.

Qin State just needs to find a concubine of King Huiwen of Zhao or even King Wuling of Zhao to reach the outside of Handan City without any obstacles.

Thinking of this, Li Jian couldn't help but clench his fists.

There is a big trouble.

Zhao Dan, don’t die!

A few minutes later, Li Jian came to Congtai Palace.

Entering the hall, several palace doctors gathered next to the bed.

Needless to think about it, King Zhao was lying on the bed.

Li Jian came to the couch and asked:

“How is the situation?”

Several palace doctors looked up at Li Jian at the same time.

When he spoke, Li Jian's eyes fell on King Zhao.

The young King Zhao was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, motionless.

Li Jian's eyes moved downward and looked at King Zhao's neck.

It was very smooth and could clearly see the raised Adam's apple, but there were no wounds or redness.

Li Jian's eyes suddenly froze.

The next moment, a dagger stabbed Li Jian fiercely.

This dagger is very short and concise, and it is obvious that it is the kind of equipment that doctors often use to cut off wounds and rotten flesh.

But no matter how small a dagger is, it is still a dagger. As long as it can penetrate into a person's body, it can kill people.

Li Jian retreated with all his might and used the fastest speed in his life.

The dagger rubbed against Li Jian's chest, and a stinging sound of the cloth being cut.

At some point, these palace doctors had surrounded Li Jian.

More daggers stabbed from all directions.

"Don't hurt my lord!"

A roar that seemed to be about to shake everyone's eardrums suddenly rang out, and Mao's figure fell from the sky and threw Li Jian to the ground.

Li Jian, who was on the ground behind his back, only felt an extremely intimate contact with the ground. With a buzzing sound, all his consciousness suddenly became blurred.

The sound, the picture, the whole world seems to be rapidly moving away.

Then return quickly.

Li Jian clearly saw that the daggers with cold light were falling down.

Blood splattered everywhere.

Li Jian clenched his fists tightly, and blood suddenly spread throughout his eyes.

At the end of his sight, an old figure stood there quietly, as if he was looking at everything that was completely unrelated.

Another stream of blood splattered out, but this time there was another head flying.

"There are assassins!"

"Protect the Lord!"

The guards finally arrived and ended the short and fierce assassination.

The bodies of several doctors were lying on the ground, and daggers in their hands were scattered everywhere.

Li Jian's hair was removed and stood up with the help of the guards.

Mao Sui's back was already covered in blood.

"Hurry, send him for treatment!"

Li Jian was almost roaring.

Mao Sui was carried away.

"What happened?"

Lin Xiangru's surprised voice came.

Yu Xin and Li Mu stood beside Lin Xiangru, looking at the scene in front of him, and were also shocked.

"vomit!"

A sound of vomiting came, attracting everyone's attention.

King Zhao, who was originally "unconscious" on the bed, looked pale and lay beside the bed and vomited heavily.

This scene of flesh and blood flying all over the ground was obviously too exciting for King Zhao.

Li Jian did not pay attention to King Zhao, but instead turned his eyes to King Xian.

"Eunuch's order, why do you want to kill me?"

Everyone's eyes instantly fell on Tangxian.

Among them, Lin Xiangru's expression was the most shocking and disbelief.

Zhuxian's white beard trembled slightly, and a pair of already turbid eyes blinked on his old face, and let out a long sigh.

"Mao Sui's loyalty and righteousness is really what I have seen in my life."

"If I have such a minister to protect me, I will have nothing to say if I lose to the definite king."

Lin Xiangru couldn't help but speak:

"Mr. Wang, why are you...so?"

Tangxian's eyes turned to Lin Xiangru and spoke lightly.

"Lin Xiangru, I recommended you to the previous kings in the hope that you can contribute to the Great Zhao with your talents and make the Great Zhao stronger."

"But you led the wolf into the room and colluded with Li Jian to steal the country!"

"I'm really blind!"

Lin Xiangru's face turned red and he couldn't speak.

Zhu Xian looked at Yu Xin again.

"And you, Yu Xin. The king treats you as a national scholar and confers you as a great Zhao Qingshi. Even the promotion speed of the close relatives of the Zhao royal family is far less than that of you."

"But you became a fence-bearer and surrendered to the traitors like Li Jian and Lin Xiangru. How can you be worthy of the trust and love that the king gave you!"

Yu Xin was ashamed and bowed his head and speechless.
