Both of the Assassins had committed suicide, so they were unable to interrogate any useful information, and the Assassin leader who had escaped had been ordered to be arrested.

Since the Emperor of Chengkun Hall was almost assassinated, the palace has once again strengthened its vigilance, and each palace gate has been heavily guarded.

In addition to the necessary rewards, the emperor also specially ordered him to recuperate in the palace for his meritorious service, so that the imperial doctor could check his injuries at any time.

On this day, the emperor and the crown prince came to visit Lie Chang'an, who was injured and sick.

"If you are injured, you don't need to be polite."

As soon as the emperor stepped into the room, he saw Lie Chang'an getting up and preparing to salute, so he hurriedly waved his hand and made a gesture of support.

"Your Majesty."

Lie Changan didn't insist on standing up anymore, but just sat up straight.

His injuries were not serious, he had been more seriously injured on the battlefield before, and his life was hanging by a thread, so he didn't take it to heart, but he couldn't withstand the emperor's dragon grace, so he could only rest in the palace.

"Aiqing, what do you think about the almost assassination of Chengkun Dian?"

For this young man who was only eighteen years old when he was awarded the title of a second-class general, the emperor never looked down on him, although he was young, but he was old, he was not surprised, and he was able to entrust him with important responsibilities again and again, which is also the reason why he was promoted many times, I only hope that he can be worthy of his painstaking cultivation, and in the future, when the prince ascends the throne, he will become the prince's right-hand man.

According to what the emperor said before, when the emperor walked into the Chengkun Palace, the assassin did not want to assassinate the emperor at the first time, but wanted to escape, and it was obvious that his purpose was not to put the emperor to death. Later, the emperor found that the table was messy, as if there were traces of turning, and Wei Chen thought that the assassin should obviously be looking for something, but it was likely that the thing had not been found, and the emperor suddenly came in and was frightened and wanted to flee for his life. And the two dead soldiers immediately bit their tongues and committed suicide after being subdued, Wei Chen thought that what he was looking for was related to the secret of life and death, which was very important. ”

The Emperor nodded quite pertinently, "Yes, I and the crown prince also thought of this. It's just that I really don't know what the assassin came from. ”

This is also the reason why the emperor is puzzled, what is the important thing that can make these assassins go to such great lengths to visit the palace at night?

The crown prince stood aside, pondered for a moment and asked, "General Chang'an, did you see the appearance of the assassin leader clearly when you were fighting?" ”

"It was dark that day, and he was wearing a night robe and a mask, so he didn't see it clearly, but judging from the white hair he exposed, he should be an old man in the prime of life."

The crown prince nodded, suddenly frowned, looked at his father and asked, "Could it be the remnants of the previous dynasty?" ”

In recent years, there have been rumors in various places that the remnants of the former dynasty are making waves, but the officials sent out have not caught the real remnants of the former dynasty, so they are also false and real, and I don't know if it is true.

However, if it is said that you need to visit the Chengkun Hall of the imperial palace at night to find something, it seems that only the remnants of the previous dynasty make sense, could it be that the emperor of the previous dynasty left something to attract those remnants to come regardless of their lives?

The emperor also thought of this, his brows were tightly locked, and his face was solemn, "Over the years, there have indeed been rumors that the remnants of the previous dynasty have made waves in various places, but there is no real evidence, whether this matter is related to the remnants of the previous dynasty, we have to carefully investigate and consider it in the long run." ”

After speaking, the emperor didn't want to say more, so he told General Chang'an to recuperate in peace and take care of his health, and then led the prince away.

Lie Changan touched the sword wound on his left chest and fell into deep thought.

The sword wound seemed to be a fatal blow to the assassin leader, but for some reason, when the sword pierced his left chest, his subordinates suddenly shouted 'General Chang'an', and the assassin leader's hand suddenly paused, and instead of continuing to stab, he stared at him for a moment, then collected his sword and hurriedly fled.

Why?

Why did you suddenly let him go when you could have killed him with a sword?
