Chapter 662: Assassination (2)

"The civil unrest in Jizhou has been quelled, where did the assassin come from?"

Emperor Yuanyou's face was pale, and his tone was full of a cold chill: "There are so many guards around the prince, how do they get close to the prince?"

The prince's guards who sent the letter into the palace were overwhelmed by the power of the Son of Heaven, and knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise their heads: "There are more than twenty assassins, all of them are dead soldiers with excellent skills, not from Jizhou. ”

"That night, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summoned beauties to drink, sing, dance and have fun, and there were 200 guards guarding outside, which was enough to protect His Highness's secret guards. The dozen or so dead men took advantage of the night to sneak into His Highness's residence, and one of them was carrying a smoke. The guards were most fascinated, but fortunately, some of the guards were alert, and as soon as they sensed that something was wrong, they released the signal. The rest of the guards arrived. ”

"The dead were all rounded up, and only one of them slipped through the net and sneaked into the house. Fortunately, the dead man was also seriously wounded and only shot two arrows. The first arrow hit His Highness in the arm, and the second shot shot His Highness in the chest. ”

"Fortunately, the beauty around His Highness at that time stood in front of His Highness and received this arrow for His Highness. ”

Emperor Yuanyou's face was still ugly: "How is the prince's injury now?"

The guard replied tremblingly: "Your Highness was injured in the arm, and he was not injured, and he did not worry about his life. It's just that the arrow is poisonous, and the accompanying imperial doctor is prescribing medicine for His Highness to remove the toxins from his body. ”

Emperor Yuanyou did not ask about the life and death of the beauty who blocked the arrows for the prince, and said coldly: "If the prince is safe and sound, if there is a mistake, I will take off the heads of all your guards." ”

There were a total of 1,000 personal guards around the prince. With so many guards accompanying and guarding, it is no wonder that Emperor Yuanyou Long Yan was furious when he even let a dead soldier approach the prince's side.

……

The assassination and injury of the prince quickly spread throughout the capital.

The crown princess was shocked to hear the bad news, and her eyes suddenly went black, and she almost fainted on the spot.

No matter how many shortcomings the prince has, he is also her husband, the biological father of her son, and the pillar of the prince's mansion. What if the crown prince has three longs and two shorts? What will she do with her sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren?

"Mother!" the grandson quickly stabilized the princess's figure.

Gu Wanning stepped forward quickly and grabbed the other arm of the crown princess: "Mother, you don't have to worry. There was no danger to my father's life. ”

There is no danger of life...... That is, the crown prince will not die.

In just a few words, the crown princess regained her strength.

The crown princess grabbed the grandson's hand with one hand, and grabbed her daughter-in-law with the other: "What the hell is going on, you two will explain it carefully." ”

Taisun and Gu Wanning quickly glanced at each other.

When the two of them heard about this, they were also shocked.

In his previous life, the prince had not encountered assassins in Jizhou.

Where did these assassins come from?

"Ah Xu," the crown princess was flustered: "Why don't you speak?" Just now Guan Ning said that your father is fine, shouldn't he lie to me!"

Taisun quickly came back to his senses and whispered gently: "A-Ning didn't lie to his mother. My father was only slightly injured, but he was fine. Although the arrow was poisonous, his father brought two imperial doctors this time. With the presence of the imperial doctor, he will definitely be able to relieve his father of the toxins in his body. ”

Gu Guanning also quickly took over the conversation: "Yes, the mother concubine doesn't have to worry. ”

The crown princess was stunned for a moment, and suddenly burst into tears: "Ah Xu, your father has been pampered for so many years, not to mention injured, not even his nails have been broken." This time he was shot in the arm and injured, and I don't know what happened to him now......"

Tears kept rolling down the corners of her eyes.

The grandson hadn't seen the crown princess crying for a long time, and he couldn't help but fall silent.

The crown princess always has a bit of husband and wife affection for the prince. After the death of the crown prince in the previous life, the crown princess fell seriously ill and died half a year later.

In this life, if he allows the crown prince to go down the same road of no return, what will happen to the crown princess?

Gu Wanning and Taisun had the same heart, and when they saw that Taisun was silent, they guessed a few points. It's just that in front of the crown princess, it's inconvenient to say anything.

……

Gu Wanning coaxed with good words, and the crown princess finally stopped crying slowly, but her spirit was far less than before, and she went back to the house to rest.

Gu Wanning couldn't rest assured, and stayed by the bed with his grandson for half an hour.

After the crown princess fell asleep, the husband and wife left the house together and returned to Wutong House.

"I don't know who the main messenger behind these dead men is. Taisun frowned and said, "There was no movement beforehand, so it came out of thin air." ”

After all, Jizhou is far away. The eyeliner placed by the prince is also among the guards, and it doesn't hurt to keep an eye on the prince's every move on weekdays. But he didn't have the ability to find out the origin and identity of these dead soldiers.

Gu Wanning also frowned, and said in a low voice, "Who else is there besides King Qi?"

"I also suspect it's King Qi. A hint of murderous intent flashed in Taisun's eyes: "King Wei is cautious, King Han is cowardly, and the person who has the courage to assassinate the prince is none other than King Qi." ”

It's just that there is no evidence, and only speculation can't help King Qi at all.

Gu Wanning pondered for a moment before he said, "The emperor's grandfather is furious, and he will definitely investigate it to the end." You should not do anything, lest you be noticed by the imperial grandfather. ”

Taisun nodded.

Emperor Yuanyou is angry, and he has to be angry. At this time, more words are more wrong, and less is less wrong.

The husband and wife sat speechless for a moment.

After a long time, the grandson broke the silence: "A-Ning, I felt very uncomfortable when I saw my mother crying just now. ”

"I suddenly felt that I was really disobedient and unfilial. Although my father was wary of me, he did nothing to be sorry for me. I just watched him die, as a son, it was too cold. ”

"Also, if my father dies early, my mother will be very sad. If I die early like in my previous life, how can I be worthy of my mother. ”

The grandson, who has always been strong, has a faint flash of water in his eyes.

Gu Wanning's heart was also heavy, he stood up and hugged the grandson, who rarely showed his fragile side, into his arms.

Taisun closed his eyes and buried his head in Gu Wanning's arms.

Gu Wanning gently touched his grandson's hair and said softly: "Xiao Xu, I know that you are distressed by your mother. Watching my mother cry today, I don't feel good in my heart. ”

"If you are really worried, when your father returns to Beijing this time, you will think that your son will not only be the master of Wuwei, but let your father live for a few more years!"

Those who achieve great things should be ruthless and informal.

But if you are so unkind that you don't ask about the life and death of your father and mother, it is too cold.

The grandson may not care about the crown prince, but he cares about the princess very much. That is the case, just give in for the princess!

"A-Ning," Taisun raised his head, "Do you think I'm indecisive and have the kindness of a woman?"
