After the imperial guards took all the people away, the palace instantly became empty.

Not long after, the imperial doctor Liu Zhong sent for also arrived.

After the wound was bandaged, the imperial doctor did not say anything serious and only said, "Your Majesty needs to rest."

According to the memory of the original person, I have heard this saying countless times, but every time, the original person did not take it to heart.

But for Chen Jue who was able to live one more time, he still nodded very optimistically, "I understand."

"Your Majesty, today's assassination must be carried out by those aristocratic families. Why not take this opportunity to investigate thoroughly?"

As soon as the imperial doctor left, Liu Zhong carefully held Chen Jue's hand to the bedside. Thinking of what Commander Zhou had just asked, he asked again.

These aristocratic families took advantage of His Majesty's youth and weak body to bully His Majesty. Liu Zhong had long disliked them.

According to him, if there is such an assassin, as long as one investigation is carried out, he will definitely be able to find out and deal a severe blow to this group of aristocratic families.

Humph, look how they still bully His Majesty!

Chen Jue didn't know what Liu Zhong was thinking, but he could guess a thing or two from what he meant.

"Hmph!" Chen Jue snorted slightly and said, "Even you know that it was the family that did it, but I don't know that?"

"The assassination failed. Within a day, the woman will die. Even if there is a strict investigation, nothing can be found. However, the Imperial Guard——"

Chen Jue narrowed his eyes and smiled calmly, "It's time to check."

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhong's heart skipped a beat, and he asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, the guards on duty today..."

The Imperial Guards are unfavorable in protecting the king and should be killed according to the law.

Forget it if he wants to kill them, he won't say anything, but if he kills those guards all at once, there will definitely be rumors.

Not only that, it will also make other guards in the palace have a grudge against His Majesty and stop protecting the Lord wholeheartedly.

Liu Zhong raised his head and glanced at His Majesty's indifferent expression, and sighed inwardly.

He spoke again, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Guard sincerely agrees with you. The late arrival of the escort today must be due to deliberate efforts to divert the tiger away from the mountain... Do you dare to ask your Majesty to show mercy and spare... spare them?"

"Spare them?" Chen Jue looked at him with a half-smile, remembering that this was not what he said before.

Liu Zhong lowered his head and nodded in response, "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if you kill a few guardsmen. It's just a single blow, but this time it's not just one or two."

Once you kill them, you will definitely gain the reputation of a tyrant among the people.

This slave knows that you don't care about this reputation, but this is not only a reputation, it will also cause rifts between you and other guards.

Your Majesty, our family is so big now, if there is another assassination, who will protect you?"

It is true that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry. Liu Zhong clearly explained the reason to His Majesty in one breath.

Afraid that His Majesty would not listen, Liu Zhong hesitated and added, "Moreover, your bad blood with the Imperial Guard will only make the family even more rampant."

Chen Jue raised his eyebrows.

Liu Zhong's words really came as a surprise to him. It was not the words that surprised him, but Liu Zhong's attitude and knowledge.

Needless to say, Liu Zhong knew that he could not kill the imperial guards, but he did not expect that Liu Zhong would think of this.

Just when Liu Zhong thought that His Majesty would not agree, he spoke.

"In that case, I will spare their lives, and you can go and tell Zhou Huan that all the guards on duty today will be fined 20 pieces each and will be fined for one year.

As for Zhou Zhen, as the commander of the Imperial Guards, he is unable to protect him well, so he will be given ten bans and demoted to deputy commander."

"Your Majesty is merciful, I will thank you for your kindness."

Seeing that His Majesty had listened this time, Liu Zhong kowtowed with a sincere smile on his face.

Who dares to say that Your Majesty is a foolish king anymore? Your Majesty is clearly a benevolent king. Look, Your Majesty just listened to it!

Liu Zhongxin, wearing filter glasses, said that today he finally succeeded in saving His Majesty's reputation.

All that's left is to think of a way to let the people know that His Majesty is a benevolent king.

Seeing the smile on Liu Zhong's face, Chen Jue had no idea. He would not kill the imperial guards on duty today.

However, he still has to maintain his original character now and not allow others to see through him and simply follow Liu Zhong's words.

Chen Jue rubbed his temples, feeling tired.

He waved his hand, "You go down, I want to rest for a while."

"Yes, I will leave this slave."

Liu Zhong responded with joy, and withdrew with the idea of ​​how to let the people know that His Majesty is the king.

As soon as Liu Zhong left, the palace became quiet again.

Due to his poor health and injury, Chen Jue lay on the bed for a while before feeling sleepy.

It's just that Chen Jue didn't sleep peacefully. As soon as he fell asleep, he dreamed of his original body.

In the dream, from the birth of the original body to the time he traveled through time, the original body basically experienced everything in the past half of his life.

It made him pity the original person more and more, and at the same time he also understood why Liu Zhong was sincere to the original person.

The original body was the empress of the late emperor, which means that the current Queen Mother is the biological mother of the original body.

He was originally the eldest son of the late emperor, but his birth coincided with heavy rains in the south for half a month, causing floods in the south.

Immediately afterwards, rumors spread that "heaven descended his son and the Chen Kingdom was destroyed." The late emperor believed in the destiny of heaven, so he naturally believed it.

He was about to fall to death immediately, but fortunately, the queen desperately stopped him and saved his life.

But it only saved a life, nothing more.

In the end, the original person was abandoned and grew up in an abandoned palace. Liu Zhong was the chamberlain who accompanied the original person and took care of him when he grew up.

In the ruined palace, he couldn't go out and couldn't read. He was the eldest son but he was like a little beggar that everyone could bully. In other words, he was worse than a little beggar.

Even the Queen, the biological mother who once saved the original person's life, has never seen the original person.

At first I would feel sad once or twice, but since I gave birth to the second prince and the third princess again, I no longer feel sad at all.

In my heart, I only care about the two children who were born later. The second prince who was born later is established as the crown prince, so it is even less possible for him to be divided.

If nothing unexpected happens, when the late emperor dies, the prince will succeed him.

But it just happened to be such an accident.

When the late emperor was critically ill, the original person mobilized the palace to control the queen and prince, and had people guard the palace gates to prevent people from entering or leaving.

The original person himself went to the late emperor's bedside, forced the late emperor to make a will, and angered the late emperor to death.

Later, after the original person ascended the throne, he gave death to all the late emperor's children and concubines, except for the prince and the third princess, who were the same mother as the original person.

But the queen and the prince did not end well. One was trapped in the prince's office for life, and the other was trapped in the Shoukang Palace.

There is only the third princess and her daughter has nothing to do with her family.
