Chapter 43: The Assassins

After half a month, the wind outside was already a little cool on her body, and it was no longer stuffy, Jiang Yuntian and Jiang Muyang walked out together, she was very satisfied with Jiang Muyang's attitude towards Jiang Muxue just now.

"Brother, where are you going to take me?" Jiang Yun was curious, this was the first time in his life that he had gone out with his family.

"Sister, don't be curious, you'll know when you arrive." Jiang Muyang looked mysterious, although Jiang Cangnan was a martial artist, the son he cultivated was both civil and military.

Jiang Muyang can not only kill thousands of enemies on the battlefield, but also stand out among these literati.

However, at the beginning, he was a little disdainful of his sister, who did not learn and did not know how to learn, and asked Jiang Yun to learn things, but she didn't want to learn anything, and only said that a woman was virtuous if she was not talented.

In order not to make Jiang Yuntian too boring, Jiang Muyang did not choose to ride a horse, and sat in the carriage to accompany Jiang Yuntian.

From time to time, there was the cheerful laughter of passers-by outside, and the people of Hualing Kingdom had lived well under the careful management of the emperor in recent years.

Jiang Yuntian was a little afraid when he thought about it now, when he was so brave to block Jiang Cangnan's arrows, but Jiang Yuntian never regretted it.

Originally, she picked up her life, even if it was given to Jiang Cangnan, she didn't care, she had already enjoyed so much warmth here, Jiang Yuntian felt that she was already very content.

"Sister, has my aunt treated you harshly in the past few years?" Although he didn't care much about the affairs of the inner courtyard, Jiang Muyang was not Jiang Cangnan, and he had heard a lot of rumors in the past few days since he came back.

It's not good to ask this question in the house these days,

"No, brother, I'm doing well in the house." Jiang Yuntian felt sorry for her for her death, if she heard Jiang Muyang's concern now, she would definitely cry.

Knowing that Jiang Muyang must have heard some news before asking him this, Jiang Yun's heart was very warm, and the things he encountered before had become a cloud of the past.

The group walked leisurely on the avenue of the capital, and the palace was not at peace at this time.

"The old minister sees the emperor." Jiang Cangnan hurried to the palace after receiving the emperor's edict, and he didn't know what was the big deal when the emperor summoned him into the palace in such a hurry.

"Calm down, is your daughter better?" Although the emperor has a lot of things to do every day, he often listens to those rumors outside.

"Back to the emperor, the little girl is already very good, and I have to thank the Seventh Prince for this matter, I owe the pills given by the Seventh Prince, otherwise Yun Tian's life will be gone." Jiang Cangnan still has palpitations in retrospect.

"Oh? Did the seventh give her medicine? When the emperor mentioned Hua Yiyun, the smile on his face couldn't be hidden.

The son born to him by his favorite concubine, although his beloved concubine is gone, fortunately, Hua Yiyun is still with him.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"I've always been a good seventh, but it's a pity...... "If there is no cold poison, he will let Hua Yiyun inherit his great cause no matter what.

Originally, he also planned to let Hua Yiyun inherit his throne, but Hua Yiyun refused because he was unwell, which is what the emperor felt pity.

"Your Majesty, you summoned the old minister to the palace today, but what happened to the border pass?" Although he is in the capital, his heart has been thinking about the frontier.

Jiang Cangnan on the border side is very familiar, this time he and Yang'er have returned to Beijing, if those barbarians get the news, I don't know if they will fight again.

"Although it is not a frontier matter, it is really an honor for our Hualing Country to care about my Hualing Country." The emperor nodded with satisfaction when he heard Jiang Cangnan's words.

In Hualing Kingdom, there are fewer and fewer courtiers like Jiang Cangnan.

For so many years, Jiang Cangnan has supported him to the throne until now, and he has not shown the slightest motive to peep on the throne, and the power of the Zhenguo Mansion has not become bigger and bigger, on the contrary, it has always been very low-key. The emperor is quite satisfied with this.

"Then the emperor is looking for me......" In Jiang Cangnan's heart, except for the border affairs and the safety of his family, as well as the safety of Hua Lingguo, other things may not be a big deal.

"Zhen Guogong, let me ask you, when you entered Beijing, did you hear the rumor that I would go out to greet you in person?" The emperor squinted slightly.

"Yes, Wechen still has three days to go before he arrives in the capital, and he has already heard it, and at that time, Wechen still felt that the emperor didn't have to be like this." Jiang Cangnan didn't know what the emperor was doing when he mentioned this matter.

"Yes, I actually planned to go to the city gate to meet you in person, but I happened to have something to do that day, so I didn't go." A hint of happiness flashed in the emperor's eyes, and then a hint of gloom flashed.

Jiang Cangnan still didn't understand what the emperor meant, and then the emperor did not greet him, but he didn't care, did the emperor think he was unhappy?

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the major events of Hualing Kingdom are much more important than Weichen's return to Beijing, so if you didn't come to greet me, I won't take it to heart."

The emperor rolled his eyes when he heard Jiang Cangnan's words, and he felt that he had been talking for so long, Jiang Cangnan didn't understand what he meant at all.

"You, I mean, the person who assassinated you was actually me."

Because he didn't go to the city gate, those people temporarily changed their goals, which was something that suddenly occurred to the emperor last night.

Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't sleep, in his own royal city, there were still people who wanted to assassinate him, how could Hua Yujin still fall asleep?

"The old minister is confused." Jiang Cangnan knelt down again when he heard this, he had been worrying about Jiang Yuntian all this time, where would he think about this issue so deeply.

After such a reminder from the emperor, Jiang Cangnan felt that large beads of sweat fell from his forehead.

"It has nothing to do with you, I only thought of this last night, so I summoned you in such a hurry." The emperor was a little upset at the thought that someone would assassinate him.

"Thank you for your grace." Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, Jiang Cangnan has been by the emperor's side for so many years, of course he knows how to keep himself from getting involved.

Jiang Cangnan was really shocked after hearing what the emperor said, could it be that the target of those people was really the emperor? But the inspection in the capital has always been so strict, and who dares to make waves.

"Your Majesty, the old ministers will strictly investigate this matter." Originally, I planned to let those assassins die "happily" after priing out some news, but now that this matter involves the emperor, I really can't just dispose of them so casually.

"The Assassin is still in your house?"

"Back to the emperor, it's still there." Jiang Cangnan had been kneeling on the ground, and his knees were already a little numb.

Hua Yujin only found out at this time that Jiang Cangnan was still kneeling, "You get up." "It's not Jiang Cangnan's thing, he is a reasonable emperor, and it is still clear who should be punished and who should be rewarded.

"Well, you give me a secret to investigate this matter, if you find out, I will reward you heavily."

Originally, it was just the assassination of Zhen Guogong, but now that the matter has evolved into the assassination of the emperor, Jiang Cangnan certainly knows the importance of the matter.

"Go back to the emperor, as soon as there is news, I will come into the palace to tell you." Jiang Cangnan stood up tremblingly and wiped the cold sweat on his head.

"Your Majesty, the guards in the palace should also strengthen their precautions." If this incident is true, those assassins did not succeed some time ago, and they will definitely come up with all kinds of tricks in the future.

"I know, you go down." Hua Yujin had a headache, when he was the prince, these things were not uncommon, but in the past few years, Hua Lingguo has been peaceful, and he has not encountered such a thing again.

However, since he can sit in this position, Hua Yujin's ability should not be underestimated.

"The old minister took his leave." Jiang Cangnan only felt that the burden on his shoulders was a lot heavier, and when he walked out of the palace gate, he found that it was already afternoon.

In the imperial study, the emperor put the fold aside, snapped his fingers, and the secret guard appeared in front of him.

"Go and keep an eye on the prince and see what he's been up to lately."

"Yes master." The Dark Guard then disappeared into the Imperial Study.

Hua Yujin doesn't trust either the queen or the prince very much.

After being an emperor for so many years, doesn't he know what kind of person his pillow person is? Although it was a little late to understand, it was only after the death of his beloved concubine that he understood this, but it was still too late to guard against them.

Of course, he also knows who caused the cold poison of the Seven Princes, but the concubine is gone, Hua Lingguo can't be without a queen for a day, if there is no her, there will be other queens.

Find someone you don't know at all to be the queen, it's better to leave her alone.

Hua Yujin smiled indifferently, if this matter was really arranged by the prince, then he could consider replacing the prince.

After all, he Hua Yujin is still middle-aged, and the prince wants to kill his father and seize the throne, which is a little too naïve.

However, Hua Yujin didn't want this matter to be done by the prince, after all, it was a child he grew up watching.

Jiang Cangnan rode back to the Zhenguo Mansion, put down his horse and went to the secret room of the Zhenguo Mansion, where the assassins were imprisoned.

In addition to one person who died of poisoning, there were three assassins left.

"How's the torture going?" There are countless tricks in the Zhenguo Mansion, and I didn't have the heart to see if these assassins were recruited some time ago, so I hurried to take a look after the emperor reminded me today.

"Sir." The guards inside the chamber were holding whips, which were dripping with blood, and looked shocking.

"Well, don't beat them to death, give me a good interrogation, and be sure to ask them about their purpose, whether it is to assassinate me or someone else." It is impossible for Jiang Cangnan to say here that these people want to assassinate the emperor.

"Got it, sir." Those people were also good at torture, and when they heard Jiang Cangnan's explanation, they knew what to do.

Jiang Cangnan nodded, watched the interrogation in the secret room for a while, and then went out.
