Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 229 Your Majesty wakes up

   Li Yan's words are a little hard to understand, but as long as you think about it carefully, you can understand the cause and effect of this incident.

   This assassination was indeed planned by Li Yan, or in other words, the Marquis of Pingnan. No matter how sophistry Li Yan makes, or whether there is evidence or not, everyone will know it in the end.

   So the investigation process of this matter is not important, what matters is how the Son of Heaven will handle this matter.

   In other words, what is the situation of the emperor now.

   After returning from Beishan, the emperor of Chengde did not reveal any news, and all the assassins died, so now even Li Yan, the initiator, does not know what the situation of the emperor of Chengde is.

   As Li Yan said.

  If the emperor of Chengde is only slightly injured, then the court will completely turn against the Pingnan Houfu in the near future.

On the other hand, if the emperor of Chengde is now seriously injured and on the verge of death, or even dead, then the court will usher in a great chaos. At this time, the court will not turn against the Ping Nanhou mansion, and even in order to appease the Nanhou mansion, Li Yan. Nothing will happen to this party, and he will be released safely from the prison of the Ministry of Justice.

   This is the reason why those who steal hooks will be punished, and those who steal the country will be lords.

  Sometimes, if you do evil things, you will not necessarily get retribution, as long as you are evil enough.

  Li Yan was taken away by the third prince as a bachelor, and he did not panic.

This soldier of the Ministry of War has been with the Southern Border Army for so many years, and his life and death have long since faded. More importantly, unlike Li Shen's family in the capital, Li Yan's family is all in the Southern Border. Whatever happened to him in the capital, his family can always be preserved.

   In this confrontation in front of the Ping Nanhou Mansion, Ji Zhong, the third prince who looked aggressive, was as stupid as a child in front of Li Yan.

  Li Yan was taken away by the Ministry of Punishment, and Madam Yu closed the house.

  ………….

  Imperial City, Changle Palace.

  The Emperor Chengde slowly opened his eyes.

He was seriously injured. That night, the assassin's knife stabbed into his body from under his ribs and injured his lungs. After returning to the capital from Beishan, he had been coughing up blood and fever, and he was drowsy and barely awake for a long time. time.

  This time he was careless.

Nineteen years after the emperor of Chengde ascended the throne, in the early years of his succession, Dajin was under Emperor Wu. He looked like a beautiful and prosperous emperor. However, because the former emperor used military force, Dajin was in trouble both internally and externally, and the economy and people's livelihood in the interior was almost on the verge of collapse. , Li Zhijie, the Marquis of Pingnan in southern Xinjiang, also has the tendency to cede territory and become king.

   At that time, the emperor of Chengde was unable to look south, so he could only bury his head and slowly recover his vitality.

Nineteen years later, Dajin has become increasingly prosperous in the hands of the emperor of Chengde. The sores left by Emperor Wu have also been repaired by the emperor of Chengde one by one. If this goes on like this, in five years at most, the imperial court can start Recapture the southern border.

   In this case, the emperor of Chengde swelled.

  He thought he had all the situation under control, and he started to rectify the Pingnanhou Mansion, using Li Xin as the first part, leaving Li Chun and Li Ji as the second step...

  In the heart of the emperor of Chengde, as long as he cuts the flesh with a knife step by step, the Pingnan Houfu will not resist.

   He underestimated Pingnan Houfu.

   That's why this assassination was made. This assassination was beyond the expectations of the emperor of Chengde, so he was indeed stabbed by the assassin.

   After two or three days in the hospital bed, the emperor of Chengde finally regained his senses.

   He was as pale as paper, lying on the bed unable to move, his lips moved, but he could not speak.

   This is the biggest failure he has encountered in the 19 years of his reign.

  Chen Ju has served the Emperor Chengde since he was in the residence. It has been more than 30 years in the blink of an eye. At this time, seeing the appearance of the Emperor Chengde, the Grand Duke also had red eyes.

   "Your Majesty, you lie down first, don't move for now..."

  The emperor of Chengde was in labor pain because of the wound on his rib and sweating on his forehead. He lay down again, still mumbling something in his mouth.

   "Your Majesty, what are you talking about?"

  Chen Ju bent down and put his ear to the mouth of the emperor of Chengde, trying to hear what the emperor said clearly.

   After a long time, Chen Ju could barely hear what the emperor was saying.

   His voice was choppy.

   "I... never thought of killing you, you... you actually want to kill me..."

   This sentence was said to Li Shen, who was thousands of miles away.

  The two of them, although they are political enemies now, are really playmates from childhood to adulthood. Even if the emperor of Chengde really wanted to attack the southern border, he never thought of killing Li Shen.

   At most, Li Shen was locked in the capital.

   Of course, the Pingnan Army will definitely be broken up, Li Yan, Cheng Ping, the backbone of the Pingnan Army, most of them will also die.

   But the emperor of Chengde did not really want to kill Li Shen.

   However, Li Shen is going to kill him now.

   This was something that the emperor of Chengde didn't expect, and for this reason, he didn't have much defense.

   He had just woken up, and he didn't know the situation in the capital at all, but he didn't even have to think about it, he knew who was going to assassinate him.

   This is more of an intuition.

   Chen Ju's eyes were red, and weepingly said: "Your Majesty, that man's wolf ambition is not worth your attention, don't be sad..."

  The emperor of Chengde closed his eyes, rested a stick of incense, and managed to regain some energy.

   He spoke slowly, his voice inaudible.

   "Get the medicine."

   The big eunuch's eyes were red, and he quickly took the medicine bowl from the side and fed the emperor Chengde to drink the soup one by one.

   As long as you are willing to drink the medicine, the injury will be healed, and if the injury is healed, everything will be healed.

   After taking a few sips of the medicine, the emperor of Chengde closed his eyes and slept for a while. When he opened his eyes again, his face was a little better.

  Chen Ju stayed by his side, never leaving for half a step.

   This kind of personal slaves around the emperor are often more reliable than their own sons, because they do not have the right and wrong roots, and they will not have too many wishful thinking.

   At least for the emperor of Chengde, Thaksin Chen Ju is definitely better than trusting any prince.

   Chengde Emperor's voice was still low.

   "In the capital, what's the situation now?"

Chen Ju immediately lowered his head, told the general situation in the capital, and then whispered: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the old slave has ordered the news in the palace to be blocked, and now the court and the public only know that His Majesty has been assassinated. I don't know what's going on in the palace..."

"You did very well."

  The emperor of Chengde barely opened his eyes, and said with some difficulty: "Several princes, what are you doing now..."

Chen Ju pondered for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "His Royal Highness occasionally comes to the palace to ask about the situation. The Third Highness is in charge of tracking down the assassins. Now he is running around in the capital. The Seventh Prince is the most filial, and guards the gate of Changle Palace almost every morning. Come on, I will leave the palace and go back to the mansion at night..."

  The Emperor Chengde coughed.

   "Where's the fourth one?"

  Chen Ju lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "The Fourth Highness is busy in the court and the field, I don't know what to do..."

  The Emperor Chengde's voice became louder.

   "He probably thinks I'm dead!"

  Chen Ju hurriedly knelt on the ground.

   "The old slave is frightened, he shouldn't say such words that hurt the feelings of the Tianjia..."

  The Emperor Chengde's voice became louder, and he immediately pulled the wound. He groaned: "Where did the third child find?"

   "Go back to Your Majesty, the Third Highness has already found... Li Yan's head."
