Zhao Jing stood in the private room that was a mess, looking at the servants kneeling on the ground, everyone was kowtowing to her. To her, this haughty appearance was not what she wanted. All the kneeling was just an illusion that blinded the eyes of others. In fact, what she wanted to do the most was to cut off the strings behind her back and get rid of this puppet.
"This is great!" Zhao Jing opened his mouth, and looked at the blood on his hands, "Beijing, there is actually such a rotten thing under my feet. Look, it's on the outside, is it nice? Is that good! " she shouted.
In the blink of an eye, everyone trembled. "Your majesty, please calm your anger!"
"Calm down?" Zhao Jing was filled with anger, how could he quell it? She scoffed twice, "You all think that with ten thousand arrows flying at once, this Chaotic Blades shouldn't be a big deal, right? In any case, I can still stand here today, so can this matter be reduced to a minor one and reduced to a minor one? "I ask, if I were to die here today, what would happen to all of you?"
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" Everyone cheered.
"I didn't say 'long live'. I almost died here, what's the point of 'long live'?" It's all because of you bunch of trash, the capital's most heavily fortified land, and you don't even have this little bit of defense! It is only right for you all to commit the crime of killing people with your swords in broad daylight! " Zhao Jing bellowed.
As a result, no one could stay any longer. If they sat down together, how many people would die? All of them brought their families along. Could it be that they were going to exterminate the nine families? But the emperor was still the emperor, the emperor was a puppet in front of his aides, the commoners and even the people, in front of their eyes, Zhao Jing was the heaven, the king of Da Xia, the king of the entire world!
coughed softly, and accompanied by his hoarse voice, "This commoner is guilty, My Emperor, please forgive me! Long live the Emperor! "
Zhao Jing was startled, he looked at Wen Rusheng who was deep in thought, and a look of doubt appeared on his face. She glanced back at Wei Shuge, but Wei Shuge lowered his eyes and did not say a word. Seeing that, Zhao Jing straightened his body, "Your efforts in saving me have helped. If not for Young Noble Wen just now, I'm afraid that we would have already died. I reward and punish you well, I will not harass the wicked, and I will not mistreat the good! "
"Your Majesty, please tell me this humble commoner is guilty!" Wen Rusheng's face was as white as paper, he knelt there and looked at the crumbling illusion. However, he was always refined, so even if his body was extremely unwell, he still knelt there and maintained a respectful posture, "This matter was caused by this commoner. Actually, it has nothing to do with the Emperor. This humble commoner is willing to die to atone for his crimes! "
"It has nothing to do with you?" Zhao Jing glanced at Zhao Yuannan.
Zhao Yuannan understood and quickly walked to Wen Rusheng's side, "In order to save the emperor, Young Master Wen, you should go and treat him quickly!" As he said that, he gave the scenery a glance, and immediately picked Wen Rusheng up, "Young master, there's poison on this arrow, if we continue delaying, there might be trouble!"
The word 'poison' on the arrow scared everyone present so much that their faces turned blue. Alright, the assassins came prepared and the arrows were poisoned, that was really something! Fortunately, the emperor was fine. If there really was an accident, then the sky would fall and the earth would collapse!
For a time, no one dared to speak. Other than kneeling there, they couldn't think of any other way.
Suddenly, Zhao Jing's eyes darkened. He immediately covered his mouth and nose with his hands, and started to cough violently. Surprised, Wei Shuge hastily stepped forward to support him, "Your majesty? Your Majesty, what happened to you? "Your majesty?"
Zhao Jing's hand grabbed onto Wei Shuge's wrist with force. Wei Shuge immediately understood, and anxiously shouted twice, "Your majesty? Is the Emperor wounded somewhere? "
Zhao Jing's body was already stained with blood. Although the majority of the blood came from Wen Rusheng, any outsider would truly be shocked to the core. It was hard to tell if it was her own blood or someone else's blood that had splashed onto her body. Now that Zhao Jing's face was pale white, it made people even more terrified. The arrow was poisoned. Could the emperor have been careless and fallen for it? How could they do that? What's good?
Zhao Jing ordered, "Immediately send Young Master Wen back to the Fanghua House, have the imperial doctors head to the Fanghua House to treat Young Master Wen! Then, Zhao Jing laid his body on the table, "This matter, must be thoroughly investigated. I would like to see who it is that wants to kill kings? "
"Yes sir!" Everyone said in unison.
Zhao Jing left in a hurry, the assassination attempt on the Emperor's Weiming was a huge matter, and today, the entire capital was under martial law, searching door to door for the assassin's whereabouts. For a moment, the entire capital was in chaos. It was impossible for the people to not know of such a huge commotion. Right now, after the tea break, they were talking about this assassination attempt. When the Imperial Tutor was about to return to the capital for his trial, the mountain collapsed, preventing him from entering the city.
No one would believe it if they said there was no connection at all!
In the alley, they kept Zhong Fu firmly in the carriage, not allowing him to move an inch. The expression on Wen Yuye's face was extremely unsightly. The carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley, and Wen Yuye lifted the carriage's curtain to block the carriage as he coldly watched the emperor's carriage swiftly leaving. When it happened, Wen Yuye was the first to arrive. He was just here to watch the show, he did not plan to mix in with the crowd, and did not have the guts to do so.
Those who could assassinate the emperor didn't care about their lives. They were either the ones who were high and mighty. Otherwise, who would dare to assassinate him in the streets after taking the heart of a bear?
"Wen, let go of me!" Zhong Fu clenched his teeth, "If anything happens to him, I won't forgive you!"
"Don't worry, the emperor has a capable man by his side. He won't be able to injure him." Wen Yuye put down the carriage curtain and indicated for them to let go.
As soon as he let go of the road, Zhong Fu crawled up from the ground in an extremely sorry state, "I'm warning you, if you dare make a move against me again, this young master will definitely skin you alive one day! "Wen, let's part ways here. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other!" With that, he got up and walked out of the car.
"Do you want to go out now in the hands of Jing Ji Fu or in the hands of Regent's Mansion?" Wen Yuye asked coldly.
Zhong Fu stared back at him blankly.
"You don't need to look at me like that. The liveliness is over. The emperor has returned to the palace. Now, Noble Heir has another choice, and that is to pick the one that you think is the least dangerous. " Wen Yuye said in an indifferent manner, "Of course, you can also enter the palace. "I reckon with the emperor's personality, he'll be able to push you to the ground and beat you half to death!"
After all, the emperor had even rolled in the throne room, so what did fighting a Noble Heir amount to?
Zhong Fu sat back down. Don't say it, Zhao Jing that brat would really make a move! Taking a deep breath, Zhong Fu scratched his head in annoyance, "Fortuneteller Wen, what exactly do you mean? "Bring me to the scene, but don't let me save her. If the young Emperor finds out, he'll definitely blame me for being such a disloyal friend!"
"Loyalty is not something to show off. When you left the capital and returned to your Phoenix City, to the Emperor, it was nothing but loyalty. But now, you have returned!" Wen Yuye said as her eyes darkened, "Today's matter was so strange, I kept having the feeling that someone was covering our Qi Family, but how do we grasp the timing to predict that our emperor would definitely be able to leave the palace?"
Zhong Fu was dumbstruck, "You mean the little emperor has spies by his side? Oh no, if that's the case, then isn't he in danger? "
"That palace maid by the emperor's side has great kung fu skills. She is not someone an ordinary person can contend with, so you don't have to worry about her!" Wen Yuye rubbed his forehead, "It really is something complicated, it happens again and again before it's peaceful, I wonder how this matter will turn out! Before the tutor had returned, the emperor had almost been assassinated. Was it a deliberate warning to the emperor, or was it a coincidence? "
"How can there be so many coincidences in this world? It must be a scheme!" Zhong Fu clenched his teeth, "This Qi Yunshan is too ambitious. When we cannot return to the capital, we can use this chance to clear his mind of the matter, so we sent people to assassinate the Emperor! "What a vicious old fogey. If I see him again in the future, I will definitely teach him a good lesson!"
Wen Yuye raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "The young master from Phoenix City is different, even if he says words that weigh a thousand kilograms, it would make people tremble in fear!"
"Stop f * cking mocking me. Do you think I can't tell?" Zhong Fu let out a long breath, "Oh right, when the Emperor went out, did he have any injuries? Aunt Wei is indeed powerful, but … "
"Come on, it's fine!" Wen Yuye said, "Your Majesty is doing well! The pace is quite fast, and there doesn't seem to be any injury! "
"There are no internal injuries!" Zhong Fu was anxious.
Wen Yuye frowned, and looked at Zhong Fu: "I roughly understand."
"Understand what?" Zhong Fu suddenly grabbed his wrist, "Could it be that you know who the murderer is?"
Wen Yuye chuckled, "I'm saying, I roughly understand why Noble Heir still refuses to leave despite coming to the capital!" In the darkness, he stared at Zhong Fu with shining eyes. "The Noble Heir came for the Emperor!"
Zhong Fu was stunned at first, but then he laughed dryly at himself, "Even you can see that, but that kid doesn't understand at all, and still kicked me out of the city. Did he think it would be the best protection for me to get rid of me? Heh … I, Phoenix City Young Master, Noble Heir of Prince Yu, do I need the protection of a trash like him? What was he thinking for me? This is so stupid! "
Wen Yuye didn't say anything, his expression merely froze for a moment. After that, he smiled a little helplessly, but didn't say anything more. He looked out of the window of the carriage and saw the cavalry soldiers riding past, and heard the sounds of armored soldiers running past the carriage. He thought that this assassination attempt would definitely be worth it, and who planned this assassination attempt would no longer be important.
To put it bluntly, no one cared about the life or death of the Emperor. All they cared about was using the power of the Emperor to seize power.
"Fortuneteller Wen, why do you think he wouldn't follow me?" Zhong Fu suddenly asked.
Wen Yuye slightly froze for a bit, then understood who the "he" Zhong Fu was referring to was. Wen Yuye looked at him with sunken eyes, "Because he is the emperor, the ruler of Da Xia Empire. Only by sitting on the throne of the emperor can he live. As long as he took off the dragon robe, he would not be able to leave the capital alive. Noble Heir, are you willing if you give up your Phoenix City and allow your teaching Phoenix City to fall into the hands of someone else? "
Zhong Fu was speechless, of course he wouldn't!
"The same goes for the emperor. He has his own helplessness!" Wen Yuye sighed, "It's all because of the power of the Emperor, the Emperor was forced to do it!"
"Then I'll stay and help him!" Zhong Fu said resolutely, "If I can't leave, I'll stay!"
Wen Yuye frowned, "Have you thought it through? With this, there will be no retreat. "
Zhong Fu nodded his head, "Since I, Zhong Fu have said it, even if I die, I will regret it!"
Wen Yuye laughed bitterly, he turned and looked out the window, and suddenly tensed up, "That man …"
