Seeing that so many officials echoed Chen Shuda's proposal, Pei Lian was angry and hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty must not agree."

"If the investigation is carried out with great fanfare, the news will surely reach the ears of those with bad intentions, and then it will lead to a rebellion, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

"There are also the Turkic and Tuyuhun barbarian tribes, if they knew that the King of Qin was seriously injured, they would definitely take the opportunity to send troops to invade the Central Plains."

A sneer crossed the corner of Xiao Yu's mouth, and he asked unceremoniously: "Pei Fushu is so obstructing His Majesty's thorough investigation of this case, is it not that the assassin was sent by you?" ”

Li Yuan's gaze looked at Pei Lin with a "swish".

"......" Pei Lin was frightened into a cold sweat, and immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty, the minister did not send someone to assassinate the King of Qin, and he never had this idea, please let Your Majesty know about it." ”

Seeing this, the officials who wanted to stop it immediately shut their mouths, lest they arouse the emperor's suspicion.

Li Yuan looked at the ministers below, and suddenly had a headache, he raised his hand and pressed his temple, forcing himself to calm down.

The emperor didn't speak for a long time, and Chen Shuda and the others kept kneeling and didn't urge.

Pei Lin didn't dare to speak, and he didn't know what to say to stop this thorough investigation.

Others were even more afraid to come out, hanging their heads, trying to reduce their sense of existence.

After a long time, the thoughtful Li Yuan finally spoke: "Dali Siqing, the Criminal Department Shangshu, and the Imperial Shi Doctor jointly investigate the assassination case of King Qin. ”

"Minister's order."

"Retreat."

"Congratulations to Your Majesty."

Li Yuan left with a calm face, and Qian Jiulong and Li Zihe hurriedly followed.

"Who leaked the news?"

When he arrived at the corridor outside, Li Yuan's forbearance erupted with anger.

Qian Jiulong and Li Zihe were ashamed: "The ministers don't know." ”

"Then look it up." Li Yuan roared.

"Yes."

The two of them immediately went to do it.

"Wait." Li Yuan stopped them again and said, "Li Zihe, you go and investigate this matter."

"Qian Jiulong, you stay and assist the Third Division in the investigation."

The two said yes and acted separately.

Li Yuan hurried forward and asked, "Have King Qin and Jin Yang woken up?" ”

Yue Yu replied: "Just now, Imperial Physician Zhen sent someone to deliver the news, Princess Jinyang has just woken up, but King Qin has not woken up yet. ”

Hearing this, Li Yuan was both happy and disappointed.

He hurried to the west side hall, and as soon as he entered the hall, he was stunned by the scene before him.

I saw Wang Yu sitting on a chair, constantly directing Chunhua and Qiuyue to feed her with her eyes, and her mouth was full, but she swallowed it after only a few breaths, and then continued to stuff food.

"Your Majesty...... "......The palace people in the palace saw Li Yuan and hurriedly saluted.

Wang Yu heard the movement, looked over, and saw that it was Li Yuan, she opened her mouth and called out vaguely: "Aya." ”

"Your Majesty." Spring Flower and Autumn Moon stopped feeding and stepped aside.

Li Yuan frowned and walked in front of Wang Yu, seeing her stretching out her hand to get the chopsticks, he snatched the chopsticks away, and said with a calm face: "You have been poisoned, and you have been in a coma for so long, you can't eat so many things." ”

"But......" Wang Yu was already clear at this time: "I haven't eaten since I had breakfast yesterday."

"Aye, I'm so hungry, I'm still hungry......"

Looking at Wang Yu's eager and pleading gaze, Li Yuan's heart was sour, he looked away, blinked, and forced back the heat in his eyes.

Then, he picked out a bowl of the lightest white porridge from the table full of delicacies and handed it to Chunhua: "Feed this to Jinyang, and remove the rest." ”

"Aya~" Wang Yu shouted dissatisfiedly.

Li Yuan comforted her softly: "You just woke up, you can't eat too much, forget what you just eat, eat this bowl of porridge, and eat something else in two hours."

"Good!"

As he spoke, Li Yuan gently touched her head, just like when she was a child, she coaxed her to take medicine.

A warm current surged in Wang Yu's heart, she lowered her eyes, and said "um" obediently.

After eating the porridge, Chunhua led the palace maid to clean up and retreated.

Li Yuan began to ask, "What happened yesterday?" ”

Wang Yu was already ready, and replied respectfully: "Yesterday, my second brother and I wanted to go to the Yuchang Pavilion to play polo, but we met an assassin when we passed through the Ning Xiang Pavilion.

"The martial arts of those assassins are very high, judging by their steps and movements, they should have been soldiers, there were too many of them, I was physically exhausted, and I was knocked out by them.

"When I woke up, I saw Yin Shilang and his guards, as well as the palace maids beside Concubine De, and they said they were going to take me to another place.

"Then they fed me a glass of water, and somehow my head hurt so much, and then my eyes started to go black, and then ...... I don't know anything.

"Wake up again, I'm here."

Wang Yu raised his head and looked at Li Yuan with watery eyes: "I thought it was ...... I'll never see Aya again, but luckily ......"

Her voice choked and she could no longer speak.

Li Yuan's eyes were moved, he reached out and touched her head, and said softly: "Good boy, you have been wronged, don't worry, Aya will never let you be wronged in vain." ”

......

"Bang!"

The medicine bag fell to the ground with a dull thud.

Zhen Quan scolded the palace people: "Be careful, don't make noise to King Qin." ”

The palace people only said yes, and hurriedly went to pick up the medicinal materials on the ground.

In the inner room, Li Shimin opened his eyes.

"The ...... of the king" Wei Chi Jingde and Qin Shubao were very excited when they saw Li Shimin wake up.

But Li Shimin "booed" and signaled him not to make a sound.

"Go and call the Imperial Doctor in, don't reveal what happened to me when I woke up." Li Shimin's voice was very weak, coupled with the deliberate suppression, only Wei Chi Jingde and Qin Shubao, who were standing beside the bed, could hear it.

After the two called Zhen Quan into the inner room, Wei Chi Jingde stayed outside, and Qin Shubao accompanied Li Shimin.

"King ......" Zhen Quan was also very excited when he saw Li Shimin wake up, but after receiving Qin Shubao's warning, he immediately lowered his voice: "Your lord, you woke up, what is uncomfortable?" ”

Li Shimin did not answer this question, but said to Zhen Quan: "Please also ask the imperial doctor not to tell anyone about my awakening, including Your Majesty." ”

Zhen Quan was stunned: "...... Why? ”

"Don't ask, you just have to do it, and when I get better, I can meet your requirements if you have any requests."

Zhen Quan was silent, this condition was indeed tempting, but it meant that he had to lie to the emperor.

Seeing him hesitate, Li Shimin continued to lobby: "I can't hide it, the assassin who almost killed me this time is someone from the East Palace, if they know that I am safe and sound, they will definitely continue to send people to assassinate me, and everyone around me will be in danger at that time, including you."

"It is true that this is the heavily guarded Taiji Palace, but the other party's status is noble, there are many eyes and ears in the palace, and His Majesty has not imprisoned him, it is easy for him to kill you and me, especially now that I am seriously injured and have no power to resist."

Zhen Quan's face turned pale, although he knew that King Qin was stabbed by the assassin, but he didn't know who the person behind the assassin was, and now that King Qin told him such a confidential matter, he had to make a choice.

Either listen to the words of the king of Qin, or report to the emperor truthfully, or he can go and report to the crown prince......

"However, if you can help me keep the secret and help me catch the real culprit, as I said earlier, I can accommodate any request you have.

"Whether you want to be a Tai Doctor or a knighthood, I can do it."

Hearing Li Shimin's promise, a glimmer of light flashed in Zhen Quan's eyes.

He is now only a nine-rank imperial physician, but the imperial physician order is the highest official of the Imperial Medical Department, although he is only a seven-rank official, but this is the highest official position among the doctors in the country, and its glory is incomparable to other official positions.

Moreover, the prince sent someone to assassinate the king of Qin in the palace, looking at the current formation of the Taiji Palace, His Majesty should soon find out about the prince.

mutilated his brother and committed murder in the Forbidden Palace, His Majesty should depose the crown prince, and only King Qin can sit on the throne of the prince at that time......

Li Shimin didn't urge him, let him think quietly.

Zhen Quan didn't think about it for long, he quickly made a decision: "The minister is willing to go to the soup for the king, and his liver and brain will be ruined." ”

Very good.

Li Shimin showed a satisfied look: "If Your Majesty asks later, you can say it like this......"
