Chapter 667; Doubt

Author: Ran Xi Nian

After eating and drinking enough, Lu Yaoyao didn't feel too tired.

Moreover, she is not a greasy person, she agrees with it in her heart, but there is no need to show off.

"What do you think about this incident in Northland?"

Hearing this, King Jin's expression became serious. He did not remember to express his opinion. Instead, he asked her about the assassination first.

And there was a lot of blame in his words.

"No matter how big the matter is, you don't know how to tell me."

"I'm fine, too. Besides, you were in a confrontation with Southern Xinjiang at that time, and I didn't want you to be distracted."

Lu Yaoyao had a smile on his face, and his voice was soft with a hint of acknowledgment.

"You can't take it lightly. Remember to take more people with you when you go out in the future."

"I have asked Yan Yi to take over the investigation. We must find those bastards."

Lu Yaoyao nodded and said, "My people have also been tracing, but those guys did their job very cleanly and did not leave too many clues. So far, nothing has been found."

"No matter how clean you are, there will be times when you show your flaws."

"And when I came back this time, I seemed to have a feeling that something was wrong in the capital today."

Before he went to the Southland, the capital was very peaceful because Emperor Hongwen had purged the government and the opposition.

But when he came back this time, he found that he didn't seem to be very peaceful, especially at yesterday's banquet. Although everyone was celebrating happily, there were many arguments in their words.

It seems that the originally unified capital circle has begun to split into several groups of people.

Among them, the people of King Ning and King Zhao are the most eye-catching.

"You feel it too?"

"As King Zhao left the palace and opened his mansion, the originally peaceful capital began to become unstable. Besides, besides King Zhao and King Ning, there seemed to be a third party that was also ready to make a move."

"Ever since my assassination, I have been paying close attention to events in the capital."

"This third-party force seems to have shown some signs."

As soon as she finished speaking, Prince Jin next to him narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Prince Li?"

"Well, Prince Li has had some movements in recent months."

Then, she talked about the previous impeachment incident against her.

"There are two people here who are Prince Li, and I later investigated and found out that there seemed to be some senior officials in the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War who had some connections with Prince Li's palace."

"Yan Zuo?"

Yesterday, the old housekeeper also reported to him in detail what happened in the capital during this period, not only the Jin Palace, but also many things about Lu Yaoyao.

Among them was Yan Zuo. At that time, King Jin was still very angry and thought that he would deal with Yan Zuo someday.

However, the old housekeeper told him that Yan Zuo was dead.

"He's not. At most, it's just a knife in someone's hand, and it doesn't have much effect. Otherwise, he wouldn't have died so simply."

"I don't know much about Prince Li. He is your uncle Wang. Do you know him well?"

After hearing this, King Jin pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "To be honest, I don't have a deep impression of this uncle Wang. After all, he has always lived in seclusion, and he only appears in certain important events related to the royal family."

"I haven't had much contact with him, so I don't really know him well, but he gives me the impression that he has a lot of depth."

"That's true, otherwise it would be impossible to live stably from the time of the late emperor to the present."

She very much agreed with Prince Li's evaluation of the deepness of his city. There were very few people in the royal family who were fuel-efficient.

Especially someone like Prince Li who has survived two dynasties.

That is definitely not a simple character.

"There's just one thing I haven't been able to figure out. Logically speaking, a shrewd person like him would never make a move rashly."

"But during this period, Prince Li's Mansion was very different from before, and this time it was also involved in matters of military power."

"What does he want to do?"

King Jin couldn't understand what she said. To be honest, he didn't sleep very well last night.

After hearing what happened during this period from the old housekeeper, he immediately thought of third-party forces and also targeted Prince Li's Mansion.

I also have the same doubts as Lu Yaoyao.

How can such a shrewd person still stand out in his old age?

"I don't understand this matter, but since he has come to the fore now, there will always be a chance to investigate, so I'm not too anxious."

"And the current situation in Dongzhou is very stable. Even if Prince Li has any bad thoughts, he will not be able to make big waves."

Some things cannot be figured out by just thinking hard. Most of them have to wait and wait for certain things to happen before they can infer something from these things.

"What if. I mean what if, the person who assassinated me was Prince Li?"

"Oh? Did you investigate anything?"

Upon hearing this, King Jin immediately became energetic, and at the same time golden light burst out from his eyes.

If it was really Prince Li, he couldn't swallow this tone, so he had to deal with it, deal with it severely.

"I just said if, I didn't say it must be him."

"Oh, then why do you have such thoughts?"

Lu Yaoyao pondered for a moment, then continued: "That's right, before I was attacked, the bomb issue had already caused a lot of fuss, and there were many arguments in the court."

"If there is an assassination at this juncture, I think it is most likely for a bomb."

"Yeah?"

Lu Yaoyao nodded.

"I remember that the killers at that time, although they were very skilled, did not have any intention to kill me at first."

"They dispatched dozens of people at that time, and there were only four of them including me. If they really had murderous intentions and swarmed us, we might not have a chance to wait for support."

"So, I don't think they had any intention to kill me, but more wanted to take me away."

"Since you are taking risks to assassinate, why not kill?"

After hearing her analysis, King Jin nodded repeatedly and continued, "You must have something they need very much. If you die, they won't be able to get these things."

"That's for the bomb."

Having said this, King Jin also somewhat agreed with Lu Yaoyao's guess just now.

For the sake of the bomb, he didn't think that these people took the bomb because they wanted to give it to the court in exchange for credit. There must be some secret plan.

The greatest use of this bomb is in the army. After all, no ordinary person will take the risk to assassinate a princess with unparalleled favor.

But before that, with the fall of Zhen Guogong, all the military power in Dongzhou returned to him and Emperor Hongwen.

It was obviously unlikely that Emperor Hongwen would assassinate Lu Yaoyao, of which King Jin was certain.

As for him, it's even more impossible.

So who will it be?

Nowadays, apart from the two of them, who else has military power, then this person's suspicion is not small.

That's right, it's the Northern Army commander of Prince Li's son.
