Faced with the prince's questioning, Wei Chi Jingde did not panic, but said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "I am born with a sensitive nose and can distinguish all kinds of smells, even if the smell is extremely light, I can smell it."

"Although General Shan knocked over the Gong barrel and the smell of filth was stained with it, there was still a trace of a very faint fragrance from the spices in the Qin King's sachet.

"This fragrance is extremely elegant, and once it is touched, even without the spice, the fragrance can be preserved on the body for three days.

"If Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can wait for tomorrow, and when the time comes, General Shan, after the smell on their bodies disappears, they will be able to smell this fragrance."

Hearing this, Shan Xiongxin and the others tightened their hearts, and then panicked.

Their expressions were flawless, and they just looked at Li Jiancheng quietly.

Li Jiancheng's heart panicked for a moment, but he quickly calmed down and said to Wei Chi Jingde: "What kind of people they are, I know very well, they will never be the assassins who assassinated King Qin. ”

Then Li Jiancheng turned to Qian Jiulong and said to him: "Please ask Xun Guogong to tell Your Majesty that after the smell on Shan Xiongxin's body disappears tomorrow, I will personally take them to Taiji Palace for examination."

"When the time comes, please ask Xun Guogong to find a few other people with sensitive noses, and smell them to see if the fragrance on their bodies is the same as the fragrance on King Qin's body."

Regardless of whether what Wei Chi Jingde said was true or not, as long as Shan Xiongxin and them were left in the East Palace, he would be able to confirm it first.

In case it is really as Wei Chi Jingde said, as long as the person is still in the East Palace, he can find a way to eliminate the evidence.

Wei Chi Jingde saw through Li Jiancheng's thoughts at a glance, and immediately said to Qian Jiulong: "Duke Xun Guo, General Shan is a suspicious person, and he can't stay in the East Palace, and ask Duke Xun to take them away." ”

Qian Jiulong was silent, he thought in his heart what he should do.

The people in the East Palace were very anxious when they saw the hesitation on Qian Jiulong's face, and Zhao Hongzhi said loudly: "Duke Xun Guo, it is unfair to designate General Shan and them as suspicious people just based on General Wei Chi's words.

"Unless General Wei Chi comes up with definite evidence, it will be slander."

Wei Chi Jingde saw that Qian Jiulong was slow to make a decision, so he walked to Qian Jiulong's side and whispered: "Duke Xun Guo, you witnessed the injury of King Qin with your own eyes, you should know very well how dangerous the situation was at that time.

"And Your Majesty attaches great importance to the assassination of King Qin, if the assassin is released today, Your Majesty will pursue it, and I am afraid you and I will not be able to afford it.

"Duke Xun Guo, I assure you, I am not mistaken, they are the assassins who assassinated the King of Qin.

"If something goes wrong, I am willing to bear it, and when the time comes, the Duke of Xun Guo can put all the responsibility on me."

Speaking of this, Wei Chi Jingde suddenly raised his voice: "Duke Xun Guo, I guarantee with my life that they are the assassins who assassinated the King of Qin, please ask Duke Xun to take them away and be investigated." ”

Qian Jiulong remembered that before leaving, Li Yuan specially instructed him to search the East Palace first, which showed that His Majesty was suspicious of the prince.

So, Qian Jiulong ordered: "Come on, arrest them all and take them away." ”

"Xun Guogong." Li Jiancheng shouted loudly, his face gloomy.

Qian Jiulong put on a selfless expression: "Your Majesty has a decree, any suspicious person must be investigated, and I ask Your Highness for forgiveness." ”

When the words fell, he ordered Shan Xiongxin and others to be taken away.

Before being taken away, Shan Xiongxin said to Li Jiancheng in a loud voice: "Your Highness, rest assured, Your Majesty is the most wise, we have not done it, Your Majesty will never let us suffer unjustly." ”

Li Jiancheng understood his hint and nodded at him.

The Praetorian Guards in the garden roared away, but the Praetorian Guards guarding the gate of the East Palace did not leave.

"It's all gone, just do what you have to do."

After Zheng Guanyin sent the palace people away, he walked to Li Jiancheng's side: "I think what Yu Chi Jingde said is true, that fragrance is unusual, it should be difficult to disappear."

"Your Highness, it's better to prepare early."

After saying that, he left.

Zhao Hongzhi walked over, his face flustered: "Your Highness, what should we do now?" ”

Li Jiancheng clenched his fists and ordered, "You all come with me." ”

......

Out of the Tongxun Gate, Qian Jiulong said: "I'll take them back first to resume their lives, General Li, Commander Ding, General Wei Chi, you take people to continue the search." ”

"Yes."

At this moment, Qin Shubao, Chunhua and Qiuyue came to the door of Tongxun.

When Wei Chi Jingde saw Qin Shubao, he asked eagerly, "How is the king?" ”

Qin Shubao's face was heavy: "The situation is not very good. ”

"Then why are you here? At this time, you should stay by the king's side. There was anger in Wei Chi Jingde's voice.

Qin Shubao didn't care, and explained, "Your Majesty asked me to assist you. ”

Before the words fell, Chunhua asked eagerly, regardless of her identity, "General Wei Chi, have you found the princess?" ”

"Nope." Wei Chi Jingde was very puzzled when he thought of this, Wang Yu told them that she had an agreement with the prince, but she just pretended to make a move, and then those people would knock her out and send her to the East Palace.

But they searched the East Palace just now, but they didn't find Wang Yu.

Could it be that the crown prince transferred Wang Yu? Still is...... Wang Yu was killed?

Qin Shubao also thought of this, he was very anxious, so he said to Wei Chi Jingde: "Let's look for it separately." ”

"Okay."

An attendant came over with a sedan chair: "Your Majesty has ordered, General Wei Chi and General Qin are injured, and they are allowed to accompany them in a sedan chair." ”

"Thank you, Lord Long." Yu Chi Jingde and Qin Shubao thanked him.

So, the soldiers were divided into four ways.

Li Zihe and Chunhua all the way, Ding Zhi and Qiuyue all the way, while Qin Shubao and Wei Chi Jingde followed Li Dejian and Tang Meng respectively.

......

Tai Chi Palace.

Li Yuan stood beside the bed, looking at the miserable Li Shimin, his heart throbbed.

Seeing that the imperial physician had helped Li Shimin bandage all his wounds, he asked anxiously, "How is King Qin?" When will I wake up? ”

All the imperial doctors knelt down and hung their heads in panic, not daring to make a sound.

At this time, the imperial physician was replying: "King Qin has many injuries on his body, but the most serious thing is the sword on his chest, if it is not for one point, King Qin will probably die on the spot."

"Although the sword has now been drawn and the bleeding has stopped, King Qin's life is still in danger.

"If King Qin hasn't woken up tomorrow, I'm afraid he will ...... I'll never wake up again......"

Hearing this, Li Yuan's legs weakened and fell backwards.

"Your Majesty......"

There was chaos in the temple.

Pei Lin took the opportunity to pick up the beams and ordered in an orderly manner: "Quickly help Your Majesty to the bed."

"Imperial Doctor, hurry up and take your Majesty's pulse.

"You ......"

Everything was arranged, Pei Lin looked at Li Shimin, who was dying, and then at Li Yuan, who was unconscious, and an evil thought arose.

If King Qin dies and His Majesty is deeply affected and cannot afford to fall ill, then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will soon be able to inherit the throne.

Now that His Majesty is in a coma, it is a good opportunity for Taiji Palace to be in charge of him.

Thinking of this, Pei Lone came from his heart and ordered: "King Qin is seriously injured and weak, bring more charcoal basins." ”

"What's going on? The hot water is cold, why don't you go and change some hot water......"

After directing the palace people to turn around, while the imperial doctors had gone to Li Yuan's side, Pei Lin quietly approached Li Shimin......
