After searching for a whole day and night without finding the assassin, Emperor Ming angrily scolded the commander of the imperial army who was on duty.
"Damn it, who is killing people so recklessly in the palace? Will my head be moved one day?"
Emperor Ming smashed the inkstone in his hand angrily.
Lord Xu, the minister of Dali Temple, stood silently. His Majesty was not worried about King Xiao Jingnan, but rather worried about his own assassination.
Liu Zhaoyi gracefully fed him a bowl of ice-cold pure sugar water, and said softly——
"Your Majesty, don't be angry. I heard that King Xiao Jingnan was almost tortured to death. This is not like what ordinary assassins would do. It seems like seeking personal revenge."
Emperor Ming frowned, and he thought it made sense, but he still felt a little uneasy: "But the assassin can enter the palace, but he can't be found. It's really worrying!"
As he said that, he looked at his father-in-law: "Go and invite Jiu Qiansui into the palace!"
He and his father-in-law stepped forward to salute, and whispered in Emperor Ming's ear: "Your Majesty, Qiantai Master is currently investigating the case of the bloody remnants of Northeast Xinjiang, and he temporarily left the city the day before yesterday."
When Emperor Ming heard this, he immediately said: "That's all, there is no need for Cang Aiqing to investigate such matters as the assassination of King Jingnan."
Compared with the assassins who assassinated King Jingnan, it was of course more important to eliminate the red-blooded remnants.
As he spoke, he looked at Mr. Xu: "Dali Temple is assisting the Forbidden Army in searching for the assassin of King Jingnan this time, and must try its best to appease the three southwestern provinces."
"Yes." Mr. Xu said with a calm expression, cupping his fists.
Although he was no longer worried about being assassinated, Emperor Ming still frowned.
The old King Jingnan once made a contribution in his battle to win the throne, but now King Xiao Jingnan has trouble as soon as he comes to the capital.
As for the three southwestern provinces, I still don’t know what to think.
Do you think he has ulterior motives, such as cutting down the vassal clan?
The old King Jingnan was just sick, not dead. What if the young King Jingnan died here and the old King Jingnan thought he was going to cut down the vassal and became rebellious?
Emperor Ming's eyebrows knitted tightly again. It seemed that he had better wait for Cang Qiao to come back and have a good discussion with him.
It really doesn't work...
A sinister light flashed in his eyes - then let Cang Qiao send someone to see the old King Jingnan off.
All those who threaten his throne must die.
However, some superficial work still needs to be done.
Emperor Ming ordered: "Send the best imperial doctors to King Xiaojingnan's post house."
He and his father-in-law nodded respectfully: "Yes."
My father-in-law and I left the house and went directly to Qingyun Hall.
When the eunuch at the door saw him coming, he immediately bowed and saluted: "My father-in-law, my master is waiting for you inside."
When I entered Qingyun Hall with my father-in-law, I smelled the fragrance of roses, and then I saw a slender figure changing into a loose white muslin robe of a hidden scholar under Xiao Qizi's service.
But that face was still Cang Qiao's delicate and cold face with a hint of evil.
"How is the prince's condition?" Cang Qiao asked indifferently, motioning to Xiao Qi Zi to pull up his hair.
He Gongzheng said: "The informant in the East Palace said that he was vomiting blood and could not get up, but he refused to call in the imperial doctor and only invited the doctor in from outside."
Cang Qiao smiled half-heartedly and said, "It's because I was bitten by a poisonous insect, so I don't dare to ask an imperial doctor."
He nodded with his father-in-law: "Yes."
Cang Qiao narrowed her eyes and suddenly smiled faintly: "The prince doesn't need the annex for the time being anyway. Let's have someone burn down the prince's annex. Doesn't he like to hide people in there?"
