Tang Yin glanced at Shao Fang, and said: "Your Highness, it's better to lie on the bed!"
Shao Fang nodded, put down the cup and walked towards the bed.
Tang Yin then went to the window and casually opened it. After that, he walked behind Shao Fang and called out: "Your Highness!"
"What?" Shao Fang turned around and looked at him with a questioning look.
Right at that moment, Tang Yin waved his hand and pulled out the sword he brought with him, aimed straight at Shao Fang's chest, and suddenly swung his sword. "Pu!" The sword stabbed right into Shao Fang's chest. Without waiting for the latter to react, Tang Yin had already sheathed his sword and stood in front of Shao Fang with a smile as if nothing had happened.
Tang Yin made his move, it was as fast as lightning, there was no hesitation at all, when Shao Fang was struck, he did not feel any pain at all, only when Tang Yin retracted his sword did he feel a heart-wrenching pain. Shao Fang couldn't help but cry out in pain as he fell onto the bed.
Hearing Shao Fang's shout, the guards outside all rushed in. When they got closer, they saw Shao Fang lying on the bed, on his last breath. The front of his clothes was already dyed red with blood, while Tang Yin stood beside the bed, expressionless.
"Your Highness …" The guards knew what was going on, but they were still scared by Shao Fang's appearance. Their expressions changed greatly and they all rushed forward.
Shao Fang was still maintaining his last bit of consciousness. Seeing that the Guards were all surrounding him by his bedside, he became extremely anxious, and spoke in an intermittent voice, "Don't worry about me, quickly call for the assassin …" After saying these words, Shao Fang's vision went black, and his head tilted; he didn't know anything else.
Everyone seemed to wake up from a dream and screamed, "Catch the assassin! Catch the assassin! Your Highness has been assassinated — — "
The many guards did not know why, but they all ran towards Shao Fang's bedroom. When they clearly saw Shao Fang's appearance, they were all frightened out of their wits and their shouts connected together. The enormous Young Master Mansion was like a boiling pot of oil in the middle of the night.
As the second prince of Mo Country, Shao Fang's assassination was no small matter. After the news was spread out, it immediately shocked the entire city, causing the Directly Subordinate Army group of Mo Country to move immediately, sealing the Zhenjiang City, imposing martial law on every street and alley, groups of soldiers swarming onto the streets, door to door searching for suspects.
When King Mo Shao Ting found out about this, she also couldn't sleep in the palace anymore. She brought a large group of palace guards and doctors to head towards the Young Master Mansion to check on Shao Fang's situation.
Actually, usually, Shao Ting didn't really care about Shao Fang, his second son; he only doted on his third son, Shao Bo, but after all, they were father and son's hearts. Shao Fang was his own son, and when his life was at stake, Shao Ting was also burning with anxiety.
When Shao Ting rushed to the Young Master Mansion, doctors from the Young Master Mansion were currently treating Shao Fang, and there were even many nobles and officials who rushed over upon hearing the news, all of them frowned, with worried expressions on their faces. Seeing Shao Ting, everyone quickly kneeled down and greeted him.
"Get up, get up!" At this time, Shao Ting's heart was with Shao Fang, he walked quickly to the bed and looked down, only to see Shao Fang lying motionlessly on the bed. His eyes were closed, his face was pale white like paper, as if he was dead. When the old man saw this, his head buzzed, and his body swayed back and forth. He almost fainted on the spot.
Left and right ministers, guards, and doctors all rushed forward to support Shao Ting, and said repeatedly, "Your Majesty, take care! Your Majesty, take care of your body!"
After resting for a while, Shao Ting finally snapped back to reality. He looked at the doctor and asked anxiously: "Can my son still be saved?"
Hearing that, all the doctors looked at each other, lowered their heads, and said in a low voice, "Reporting to the King, Your Highness." Your Highness's heart is... "I'm afraid …"
"A quack doctor! They are all quack doctors! " Shao Ting's face flushed red and he cursed.
Shao Fang's life was in danger, all the doctors were extremely nervous, and after hearing Shao Ting's curses, they all trembled in fear, and knelt down.
Shao Ting ignored them and brought the royal doctors over, asking them to treat Shao Fang's illness first.
When they saw Shao Fang's injuries, the imperial physicians were all dumbfounded. He was obviously being pierced in the heart by a sharp weapon, how could he be saved? However, looking at how hair and beard Shao Ting had, as if wanting to kill if they can't save Shao Fang, the imperial doctors could only bite the bullet and go all out.
Shao Ting was nervous, the doctors were nervous, and there was one person who was nervous to the extreme, and that was Dong Sheng who stood amongst the ministers. He had seen Tang Yin's unique skill before, but he was not sure if something would happen to his highness. At this time, his heart was in his throat, tensed up, afraid that something bad might happen to Shao Fang.
The imperial doctors added medicine on the wound on Shao Fang's chest again, stopped the bleeding, bandaged him up, and gave him several types of first-aid medicine. After being busy for a while, a miracle actually happened. The imperial doctors were surprised and happy at the same time as they tried even harder to cure his.
The emergency treatment lasted for almost two hours. Although Shao Fang's face was still pale, his chest and abdomen had already started to move up and down as the royal doctors excitedly kowtowed to Shao Ting and said, "Miracle! What a miracle! Congratulations, Your Majesty. Your Highness has survived.
"Huh?" Shao Ting did not react for a long time. Although he did not know about medicine, he knew that once his heart was pierced, he would definitely die. He had already given up all hope, but after hearing the royal doctors say that Shao Fang's life was saved, he was so happy that he fell from the sky.
"It's the Great King, Qi Tian, ah, moved by the heavens …"
"Ah …" Haha … "Sob, sob …" Shao Ting laughed out loud before bursting into tears. Many of the ministers and servants started to pretend to wipe their tears away.
Receiving the royal doctors' confirmation, the heart that was almost about to jump out of Dong Sheng's mouth finally returned to its original place. Only at this time did he feel a chilly sensation all over his body, when he touched his undergarments, they had all been drenched in sweat unknowingly. He understood that this was not the time to be secretly happy.
Dong Sheng walked forward quickly, until he was standing in front of Shao Ting, then bowed and said: "Great King, this is definitely God's blessing! Your Highness, if you can survive this disaster, you will be blessed in the future! This is the fortune of my Mo Country, the fortune of no one! "
These words caused all the ministers standing by the side who supported Shao Bo as Crown Prince to frown. What did Dong Sheng mean by that? He clearly had the intention of pushing Shao Fang to the position, but what was strange was that the relationship between Dong Sheng and Shao Fang had always been very cold, why did he suddenly speak to Shao Fang today?
Shao Bo didn't feel that there was anything amiss with Dong Sheng's words. It was truly a joyous occasion for Second Brother to be able to survive. At this time, Shao Bo did not feel a single thing, a deadly spear tip had already quietly aimed at him.
Shao Ting's excited emotions had finally calmed down, he used his sleeve to wipe the tears from the corner of his eyes, and sighed towards the sky. Dong Sheng's words made him extremely happy. After all, Shao Fang was his son, his flesh and blood. If there was truly heaven's help, to be protected by the heavens, that would be his fortune.
After he completely calmed down, the excitement on Shao Ting's face faded and was replaced with a dark and cold expression. He turned his head and shouted, "General Yao?"
"This official is here!" A middle-aged general wearing a golden helmet and armor hastily stepped forward, interfering and saluting. His name was Yao Ben, Middle General of Mo Country, and he was a lieutenant in the army. He was in charge of the fifty thousand guards stationed in the city.
"Did you send someone to arrest the assassin?"
"This lowly general has already sealed off the entire city and sent his subordinates to do a search and capture of the entire city. It's just that … We haven't found any traces of the assassin! " Yao Ben said carefully.
With Zhenjiang City so large and a population of over a million, searching for an assassin would not be an easy task.
But Shao Ting did not care about all these, he only wanted to see the result. With a cold expression, he said, "I don't care what methods General Yao uses, I want to hear the news of him successfully capturing the assassin before the sky turns dark tomorrow!"
"Yes!" "Great King!" With a grin on his face, Yao Ben took the order.
Dong Sheng rolled his eyes and purposely looked like he wanted to say something but was hesitating. Shao Ting looked at him suspiciously and asked: "My beloved deputy Dong has something to say?"
"Oh …" This old official is fine! " Dong Sheng immediately cupped his hands and bowed his head.
Shao Ting and Dong Sheng's relationship was extremely close, and they had interacted with each other for tens of years already. Basically, with just a hint from Dong Sheng, Shao Ting could understand what he meant. Seeing that, Shao Ting knew that Dong Sheng had something to say, but it was not convenient for him to speak about it in public, so he did not pursue the matter further, and ordered for Shao Fang to be carried onto the carriage and brought back to the palace. Firstly, to be protected closely, and secondly, to be convenient for the imperial physicians to treat him.
On the way back to the palace, Shao Ting called Dong Sheng onto his horse carriage for him to ride with him. On the way, Shao Ting asked: "My beloved deputy Dong, what did you want to say to me just now?"
Dong Sheng pondered for a moment, then asked: "Does the King not feel that the assassination of Your Highness is strange?"
"Oh?" Shao Ting was startled, he thought about it carefully and asked: "My beloved deputy Dong's meaning is …"
Your Highness's Young Master Mansion is always heavily guarded, let alone ordinary assassins, even if you wanted to attack, you wouldn't be able to enter. However, this assassin was able to sneak into your Young Master Mansion without anyone noticing, and then smoothly escape after ambushing you. Dong Sheng calmly analyzed the situation for Shao Ting.
Shao Ting thought about it carefully and felt that what Dong Sheng said made a lot of sense. He nodded his head and asked again: "Then between My beloved deputy Dong, who exactly is able to send out such a powerful assassin to put Fang'er to death?"
Dong Sheng said: "Your Highness has always been a low-profile person, and has no dealings with the ministers, so it's impossible for you to get into conflict with him …" After pausing for a moment, he let out a soft "ah" as if he had suddenly realized something. Then, he shut his mouth and did not say anything more.
Seeing that, Shao Ting's appetite was lifted, and he said: "If My beloved deputy Dong has something to say, quickly say it!"
"This old official dares not say!"
"Eh? What else do you and I have that makes it difficult to speak? " Shao Ting frowned in dissatisfaction.
