The night is getting deeper and deeper. Even the wind has stopped at some point, making the huge capital city look even more lifeless.
Next to Prince Han's Mansion and one house away from Prince Han's Mansion, a stone suddenly moved under the courtyard wall.
After a pause, the stone moved violently again and was pushed out.
Immediately afterwards, a head popped out of the gap, and he cautiously glanced around before getting out.
The man was wearing night clothes, and his waist was stained red with blood and even scabbed. He must have been injured for some time.
The figure stood up straight, checked the direction, and was about to leave quietly when several people suddenly appeared out of thin air and directly surrounded the figure.
Wu Feng recognized this person at a glance as the assassin who was seriously injured by him, and secretly admired him!
The princess is tall!
They searched for several hours, digging almost three feet into the ground, but still couldn't find the person. The princess only used one move to make the assassin appear obediently.
When the assassin saw Wu Feng, he waved his sword and was about to break out of the encirclement from the other side.
Wu Feng kicked the assassin over with a flying kick, then skillfully took a piece of cloth and stuffed it into the assassin's mouth.
"This man is still useful. We can't let him commit suicide. No one can touch the cloth in his mouth!" Wu Feng ordered.
"Yes!" A group of guards immediately escorted the assassin back to Prince Han's Mansion.
…
Prince Han's Mansion, Yunjuan Pavilion.
After Xie Wenwu learned the news that the assassin had been caught, he told Xie Yao immediately, and it was Chu Han who asked him to come, and it was fair and aboveboard.
"Where did the prince keep the assassin?" Xie Yao breathed a sigh of relief knowing that the assassin was captured alive.
"Without being detained, King Han directly brought the assassin into the palace." Xie Wenwu also knew that the emperor wanted to collect Chu Han's military talisman, and he approved of Chu Han's approach. "It is the best time to enter the palace at this moment. If it were later, it would be better."
, once the imperial edict is issued, even catching the assassin will be of no use."
Xie Yao nodded, "In that case, there's nothing wrong. Brother, go and have a rest. It will be dawn in two or three hours."
"Okay," Xie Wenwu agreed happily, but after walking out of the courtyard gate of Yunjuan Pavilion, he did not leave, but stayed aside.
Even assassins appeared in Prince Han's Mansion. Chu Han was not in the manor yet at this time. As an elder brother, he must protect Xie Yao's safety at all times!
Someone has already targeted Chu Han like this, so maybe someone won’t take the opportunity to target Xie Yao!
At the same time, there was also a sleepless night in the palace.
The news that Emperor Zhao Chu wanted to confiscate Chu Han's military talisman was still spread.
After Chu Jing received the news, he rushed to the palace gate as soon as possible, but Chu Yue arrived first.
The two met, exchanged a few words with each other, understood each other tacitly, and entered the palace together.
In the imperial study room, Emperor Zhaochu looked at Chu Ye in front of him and frowned slightly.
"Please, father, please take back your order and give your fifth brother a small punishment but a big warning. Just don't allow him to marry and take concubines. There is no need to take away his military symbols." Chu Ye spoke loudly and loudly.
Emperor Zhaochu looked at Chu Ye who was so determined, and his voice was a little low, as if he hated the iron. "Don't you understand that I am doing all this to help you?"
"I understand." Chu Ye answered decisively, "But I don't want to win in this way."
"Huh?" Emperor Zhaochu suddenly thought of something, his eyes turned cold, "Are you because of that woman named Yan Jun?"
"Father, it is clear that Yan Jun refuses to acknowledge his parents. Such an unfaithful and unfilial person is not worthy of marrying into Prince Han's palace! We should take this opportunity to stop our fifth brother from marrying this girl." Chu Ye avoided Emperor Zhao Chu's question.
Answer, with a solemn voice.
Emperor Zhaochu narrowed his eyes and took a deep look at Chu Ye, "Those people who recognize relatives..."
"If Father makes an edict and is willing to seek justice for them, they will definitely show up to thank God for His grace." After Chu Ye finished speaking, he bowed directly and said, "Please give me an edict from Father!"
Emperor Zhaochu looked at Chu Ye with a sincere expression, and a sharp light suddenly flashed in his eyes. After thinking for a while, he slowly spoke, with a low voice filled with unquestionable pressure, "Since you are not doing it for her,
, then there is no need to say more. My decision has been made and cannot be changed."
"Step back, I'm tired. If there is no important matter in the future, you are not allowed to enter the palace late at night."
After Emperor Zhaochu finished speaking, he waved Chu Ye out without giving him any chance.
Chu Ye lowered his eyes, his eyes a little dark, and just as he was about to salute and go out, Eunuch Liu's voice came from outside.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Jing and His Royal Highness Prince Yue are here. The old slave said that you have already rested, but they all said that they have important matters and they need to see you immediately." Eunuch Liu's voice was cautious and trembling.
What happened in the middle of the night? The princes came one after another, and he didn't know when the emperor would get angry!
Emperor Zhaochu's eyes sank, he glanced at Chu Ye, and said in a deep voice: "Let them come in."
"Yes." Eunuch Liu immediately responded.
"Did you see it? If you don't want the military talisman, of course someone else will." Emperor Zhaochu said.
Chu Ye lowered his eyes slightly and did not refute, "That's what Father said."
Emperor Zhaochu glanced at Chu Ye with a deep look in his eyes.
Chu Ye was so deep in the city that he almost got his true inheritance, but...
"My son, I have met my father." Chu Jing and Chu Yue walked into the imperial study. While saluting, they both saw Chu Ye standing beside them.
"I didn't expect that the third brother was here." Chu Jing spoke and said to Chu Ye.
"I've met Third Brother." Chu Yue nodded.
"Eldest brother, eighth brother." Chu Ye nodded in return with a gentle expression.
Emperor Zhaochu looked at the third brother's son in front of him, his old eyes were deep and unpredictable, "What urgent matter do you have when you enter the palace late at night?"
Chu Jing glanced at Chu Yue out of the corner of his eye and said first, "Father, I heard that you want to collect the fifth brother's military talisman. As the saying goes, an army cannot be without a commander for a day. Once the fifth brother's military talisman is handed over, it must be handed over to the right person as soon as possible.
Let someone take care of it."
"But suitable candidates may not be found in a short period of time. I am not talented and I know that I do not have the ability to take charge of the Laowu Military Camp, but there is no problem in taking charge of it for a while. I am willing to share my father's worries!"
"My son is also willing to share the worries of my father." Chu Yue also responded, "The eldest brother has not taken care of military affairs for a long time. It is inevitable that he is unfamiliar and is not suitable for taking care of the fifth brother's military camp. I think that we should find another suitable one."
people."
"Eighth brother, do you miss your elder brother so much?" Upon hearing this, Chu Jing turned his head and scolded him.
"Brother, please calm down, I am telling the truth." Chu Yue looked innocent.
"Shut up!" Emperor Zhaochu suddenly spoke, and his scolding made the air in the entire imperial study freeze.
The princes were silent.
Emperor Zhaochu glanced coldly, then looked at Chu Yue, "Lao Ba, who do you think is more suitable to take charge of Lao Wu's military camp?"
"I think... third brother is the most suitable." Chu Yue turned his eyes and said.
Emperor Zhaochu narrowed his eyes slightly and was about to speak.
Eunuch Liu's slightly trembling voice sounded again outside, "Your Majesty, His Highness Prince Han is requesting an audience."
