The emperor raised his hand and brushed her sideburns behind her ears, and interrupted her directly: "You just have to give birth to a child with peace of mind, I don't care about the prince and princess, I will love him well!" ”

The embroidery lady on the side withdrew and gently closed the door, leaving space for the two of them.

Zhao Yunniang's face was slightly moved, nodded lightly and agreed, thinking of the freshly brewed chrysanthemum tea on the table, a smile appeared in her eyes.

"The emperor wants to taste it?" A pair of slender jade fingers pinched the teacup and sent it over, and the green onion white tea cup was beautiful.

The emperor drank all the chrysanthemum tea and didn't think much about it.

Just as he was about to go to bed, he heard a movement outside the house, and the Assassin broke through the door, brandishing his sword and stabbing at the Emperor.

Zhao Yunniang looked frightened, with a look of horror on her face, and raised her hand to push the emperor aside: "The emperor is careful!" ”

The assassin slashed her arm with a sword, and the bright red blood stained the sleeves of her dress in an instant, and she looked a little oozing.

She clutched her injured hand, struggling to avoid the sword in the assassin's hand.

"Yun'er!"

The emperor's eyes were full of anger at the moment, and he subconsciously protected her in his arms.

The guards in the palace didn't notice this, but it doesn't mean that the emperor's secret guards are vegetarians.

Seeing that something was wrong with the current situation, the assassin tried to escape but was caught.

For a while, several knives were on his neck, and he was pressed to the ground and couldn't move, and he was still scolding angrily, "Dog Emperor, can you really feel at ease sitting on the throne?" When you dream back at midnight, don't you think that those who were killed by you will one day ask for your life? ”

As soon as he finished saying this, he was punched hard.

Everyone knows about the emperor's bloody washing of the palace back then, but no one dares to say it in front of the emperor, unless he really doesn't want it.

The emperor listened to his words in his ears, and watched the imperial doctor bandage Zhao Yunniang's wounds, and then got up and walked over, his face was cold, and there was a trace of ruthless murder in his eyes.

"Who the hell are you?" The emperor's voice was cold, and he looked him up and down, and the first suspicious person that came to his mind was Tuoba Truss.

But it doesn't make sense that this kid really hates him so much, if he wants to do it, wouldn't he have already made a move?

The assassin laughed and did not answer his words, and only after a long time did he speak leisurely, looking at the emperor with a proud expression: "I am not afraid to tell you that I was hunted down earlier and almost lost my life. Fortunately, the four princes saved me with kindness and let the doctor take care of me, you are afraid that you will never think of it! ”

The emperor pursed his thin lips, some anger jumped in his dark eyes, and he was about to order someone to execute him, when Zhao Yunniang came over at this time.

"Your Majesty, if he is really the person of the Four Princes, I am afraid he will not say it so easily now. Why don't you search him first and see if there are any objects that can prove his identity? She glanced at the Assassin on the ground and whispered a proposal.

The Emperor closed his eyes and did not refute, apparently agreeing with her words.

Immediately, the Imperial Forest Army searched the assassin's body, only to find a token of the Prince's Mansion.

The Imperial Forest Army presented the token to the emperor, "It is indeed a token of the prince's mansion." ”

Before the Emperor could speak, the Assassin suddenly spat out a piece of his tongue and slanted to the side with a mocking smile on his lips.

The imperial doctor rushed forward to save him, but he was already powerless.

In the chaos, no one noticed the smug look on Zhao Yunniang's face.

"It seems that the prince wants to blame Yuan'er." The emperor took the token in his hand and looked at it carefully, and the inadvertent frowning between his eyebrows showed the depth of the whole person.

"The emperor still needs to check again?" Zhao Yunniang pretended to be gentle and admonished, and drooped the corners of her eyes as if she was smiling, showing a look of being overly frightened and pretending to be calm.

Now there is no evidence of death, and even if you really want to investigate, it is impossible to find out anything.

"You can rest well tonight, and don't make a noise about this matter for now. I'll see you another day. The emperor changed his words, and then left her palace with someone.

Soon someone came in and disposed of the Assassin's body, and the place that had been in chaos returned to dead silence.

It's as if nothing happened.

Zhao Yunniang had a smile on her face, her eyes fell on the wound on her arm, and the task was finally completed.

She immediately ordered someone to report the news to Concubine Li's palace.

What's a little injury?

In the future, careful care may not really leave a scar, it is just a wound, in exchange for the glory and wealth of her and her children for the rest of their lives, and this transaction will not be a loss.

The next morning.

"I haven't seen the prince for a few days, but I look a lot thinner." It was rare for Tuoba Yuan to take the initiative to talk to him above the court, which was a bit surprising.

If there is nothing to do, Tuoba Jun naturally knows about Zhao Yunniang's refuge in him.

The innocent and tragic death of the person he carefully trained was killed by him, which is really disgusting.

Tuoba Jun just snorted coldly and then ignored it.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair, his gaze swept to the ministers in the hall, and finally fell on Tuoba Jun, and then did not speak again.

The position where Tuoba Jun stood was not far from the emperor, and he also noticed the emperor's gaze, but he lowered his head in confusion, thinking that he had been cautious in recent days, and he should not have committed anything.

"I wonder if you recognize this?" The emperor threw down the token in his sleeve with a blank face and landed at Tuoba Jun's feet.

Tuoba Jun bent down to pick up the token, and suddenly his eyes widened in shock, and he was almost speechless in surprise.

Isn't this the prince token he lost before, how can it be in the hands of his father now?

"My son knows this." Tuoba Jun didn't notice the bloodstains on the corner of the token, and held the token tightly in his hand, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

The emperor sneered when he heard this, nodded with disgust, and immediately shouted angrily: "Okay, I really taught a good son, and both of them want my life and take away my throne!" ”

"Someone!" A neatly arranged group of Imperial Forest Soldiers came in from outside the Jinluan Palace, and Tuoba Jun hadn't reacted from what he had just said, but then he heard it again, "Put him in prison!" ”

The Imperial Guards dragged Tuoba Jun, who was kneeling on the ground, and the token in his hand fell to the ground, and although he didn't know what was happening, he was still busy begging the emperor for mercy.

"The son doesn't know what he has done, and he asks his father to make it clear!" Tuoba Jun gritted his teeth, panic in his heart.

When the emperor saw that he was still pretending to be stupid, the anger in his heart was even worse.

If it weren't for Zhao Yunniang pushing herself away last night and blocking the fatal blow, I am afraid that I am now in a different place, where is it possible to stand on the Jinluan Palace?

"You ordered the assassin to infiltrate the palace last night, and then blamed the fourth, the evidence is conclusive."

The token was indeed found from the assassin, this can't be faked, how could something as important as the Prince Token be thrown around at will?

Assassin?

Tuoba Jun only felt that he was wronged, he was not bold enough to assassinate the emperor, how could he shirk it to Tuoba Yuan?

"Father, my son's son has been suffering from a cough recently, and he went to bed early last night, so he couldn't send assassins into the palace. In addition, this token has been lost some time ago, and he has sent someone to look for it in private......"

Tuoba Jun tried to exonerate himself, and the assassin had nothing to do with him, but he couldn't tell the emperor where he had been last night.

"Is there any evidence for that?" The emperor looked at him coldly and asked in a deep voice.

"Nope." Tuoba Jun hesitated for a moment and shook his head weakly.

The emperor didn't give him a chance to speak, and even though he ordered someone to put him in prison, he gave Tuoba Yuan a reward as a comfort.

At the same time, there was also Zhao Yunniang, who was resting.

"Master, do you want to ......?" The guards saw his figure come out of the Golden Luan Hall and raised his heels.

"No, you don't." Tuoba Yuan lowered his eyebrows, and he was not in a hurry to do anything now.

Even if you don't need him to take action, relying on Tuoba Jun's brain, you may not be able to get out of the prison.

Moreover, his father was suspicious of the death of the former Tuoba Jun last time, and it took him a lot of effort to cover up the past, and this time he couldn't take any more risks.

There is no military advisor behind Tuoba Jun, and if he wants to clear his name this time, it will be even more difficult than ascending to the sky.

After the emperor went down to court, it was rare to summon Tuoba Truss in the imperial study.

Tuoba Truss didn't know what the emperor's intentions were this time, and followed with some doubts.

"Today, I summoned you to play chess with me, there are no kings and ministers here, only father and son." The Emperor had ordered the chessboard to be prepared, and Tuoba Truss sat down across from him.

"I heard that my father is not in good health, and my son is trying to find some folk secret recipes, so that my father is in good health." Tuoba Truss dropped the chess pieces in his hand, and a smile appeared on Jun's face.

The emperor shook his head and refused, his eyes looked at him from time to time: "It's just a problem that fell when I was young, and it can't be cured now, so why bother you to think about it again." ”

The maids and eunuchs beside him retreated one after another, and Tuoba saw that he didn't speak again for a long time, his eyes fell on the chess pieces on the chessboard in front of him, and neither of them spoke again.

On the surface, they seem to be father and son, but secretly they have their own calculations, and they don't look like they can get close.

"I have dreamed of your mother again in the past two days, she said that she misses you very much, I don't know if you still have an impression of her......" The emperor's tone was relaxed, and there was concern between the lines.

Tuoba Truss's cold phoenix eyes froze, and the fingertips holding the black chess pieces were slightly stiff, and the emperor suddenly said this to him?

Could it be that you are suspicious of something?

"The sons are dull and don't have a deep impression of the concubine." He didn't want the emperor to see the abnormality, so he had to pretend to shake his head senselessly.

The emperor stared at his calm face and was speechless for a long time.

After so many years of not letting him get in touch with the government, he probably couldn't find a top assassin.

Maybe he's thinking too much.

"I remember when your mother died, you were still such a young child, and it was normal to have no impression. When your mother dies this year, come to the palace to offer incense to her! ”

Tuoba Truss couldn't help but think of the ancestral hall he had secretly set up for his mother's concubine, and agreed without hesitation: "Yes." ”
