Chapter 430: Childhood Sweetheart
"Your Majesty, has anything unusual happened in the capital recently?" Jiang Zhan didn't ask directly whether he had instructed him to do so.
However, he asked his doubts in the most subtle way.
"Not long ago, a woman came to the palace!" After being silent for a long time, the emperor mentioned the recent events in the palace.
"That woman was given to Your Majesty by someone?" Jiang Zhan guessed what was going on from his expression.
"That's right, she was indeed given to me by Sun Aiqing in the court, Sun Aiqing said that this woman is innocent, and her family is gone!" When Lord Sun sent people here, the emperor really fell in love with her appearance and had the idea of letting her into the harem.
However, the life history of the harem concubines must be clarified in order to have no worries.
After all, he is the Son of Heaven, if there is an additional woman of unknown origin in the harem, the ministers of the previous dynasty will definitely oppose it.
What's more, Master Sun is a fatherless and motherless musician, and the emperor feels that after an investigation, there will be no change.
As a result, he suddenly received a message two days ago, saying that the musician had a childhood sweetheart before, and the two were very affectionate.
It's a pity that due to a sudden change in the musician's family, the two had no choice but to separate.
She became a singer, was discovered by Lord Sun, and brought into the palace to present to him.
After the emperor heard about this, he naturally didn't have the heart to include her in the harem anymore, after all, the other party's childhood sweetheart had already been found, and he disdained to forcibly accept a person who had other men in his heart as a concubine.
After Jiang Zhan listened to the emperor's words, he keenly noticed that the emperor seemed to have injuries on his body.
"Your Majesty, are you injured?" Jiang Zhan hadn't paid attention to it before, but when the emperor mentioned the beautiful musician, he found him unnatural.
If it weren't for the scruples in his heart about the difference between monarchs and ministers, Jiang Zhan would have raised his suspicions a long time ago.
The reason why the emperor mentioned that musician was only afraid that his injuries had something to do with the other party.
"Your eyes are still so sharp!" He had tried his best to hide it, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Jiang Zhan.
"I just smell a faint smell of blood!" Jiang Zhan didn't want to say it, but he felt that this matter must be related to Gao Guanghai's gathering of people from the rivers and lakes.
"The injuries on my body were caused by the musician's childhood sweetheart Wang Yunfeng!" The other party thought that he planned to forcibly take possession of the musician, so he came to assassinate him regardless of his own safety.
At that time, the emperor didn't know the identity of the other party, so he gave the other party a chance to succeed, but fortunately, the people around him reacted quickly, so he only suffered a little flesh injury.
After Jiang Zhan heard the emperor's words, he immediately asked, "He is the only one who came to assassinate you this time?" ”
"He hired a group of killers in the rivers and lakes, and after the incident, I ordered people to arrest them, but only a few murderers were caught, and he was gone!" The emperor's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness.
"Your Majesty hasn't found him yet?" Jiang Zhan's eyes flashed slightly.
Now that the whole world is the emperor, but he has not been able to find a person who has assassinated him, Jiang Zhan is very shocked.
"I've been sending people to hunt him down, only to find out that he's gone since the failed assassination of me that day!" At first, the emperor felt that his subordinates were not dedicated, so he sent many additional people to track down the other party, but unfortunately he never caught anyone.
After careful investigation, the emperor realized that the identity of the original person was not simple at all, although he did know the musician since childhood, but he secretly hid his identity.
Even the musician, and his family, didn't know about it......
He concealed all the news, and was ready to deal with the matter after catching Wang Yunfeng, after all, he was the emperor, and once the news of his assassination came out, it would definitely cause panic among the people in the capital.
Not long after the emperor ascended the throne, he encountered such a thing, and it was caused by a woman, if it was known, what would his face have?
When Jiang Zhan heard that Wang Yunfeng dared to hire someone to assassinate the emperor, he immediately had doubts about his true identity.
If he really just hated the emperor and wanted to admit his beloved woman into the harem, he was not the only one to go.
After all, the emperor is the supreme of the Ninety-Five, and no matter whether his actions succeed or fail, he will have to pay the price of his life, and even affect all his clansmen.
Jiang Zhan didn't think that a reasonable person would do such a reckless thing, unless he was provoked or stimulated.
This matter seems to be jealous for a woman, but Jiang Zhan thinks that there must be other hidden secrets.
It's a pity that he can't say these words directly to the emperor, after all, it can be seen from his attitude towards this matter that if Wang Yunfeng is arrested this time, he will definitely die, and even the female musician will be implicated.
She is the source of the whole thing, but the emperor has not touched her now, he plans to use the musician as bait.
In order to lure Wang Yunfeng out, he has ordered someone to put the musician in prison, if the other party really cares about her, he will definitely try to save her.
At that time, he will be able to take this opportunity to capture Wang Yunfeng alive, and he will never let go of those who dare to assassinate him.
"Your Majesty, the grass people want to go to the prison to meet the female musician!" Jiang Zhan thought about it for a long time and felt that the breakthrough in this matter was in that woman.
She is the key person in this matter, if it weren't for her, Wang Yunfeng would not have hatred for the emperor and come to assassinate him.
If she is willing to speak, maybe they can find out Wang Yunfeng's whereabouts and identity background as soon as possible.
"I have already ordered Wu Yuanheng to interrogate before, but she doesn't want to speak!" The emperor understood his thoughts, but it was too difficult to pry her mouth open.
After all, she and Wang Yunfeng grew up together and had a very deep relationship, she knew that the other party was committing a capital crime that killed the whole clan, how could she speak!
Everything Wang Yunfeng did was for her, and with her heart, she was afraid that she would rather die with the other party than betray him.
This woman's love for Wang Yunfeng is very deep, and the emperor is not surprised by this at all, after all, he just thinks that the woman's piano skills are superb, and she has grown up to be elegant and dusty, like a fairy descending to earth, so he moved his mind to be included in the harem.
However, if she wasn't offered by the minister, the emperor wouldn't have thought about it, not to mention that she didn't want to, so she could say it directly, how could he be the king of a country who was reluctant to have a heart?
The emperor does not value women, there are few concubines in the harem, and he likes women with gentle smiles, if they are born to be rebellious, he will never take a second look.
It's a pity that the misfortune has caused today's results, and the emperor is naturally angry.
At the moment, Jiang Zhan proposed to see a female musician, and the emperor would not stop him, but he also reminded him a few words.
"The grass people are not trying to question her, they just want to see if she is secretly in contact with the other party!" In fact, Jiang Zhan also guessed that the woman would definitely not reveal the location of her lover.
How could two people who are willing to advance and retreat together and guard each other rather than die betray each other......
"There you go!" The emperor knew that Jiang Zhan was measured in his actions, and rarely disappointed him, maybe this matter would be handed over to him, and he would really make progress.
The emperor has been angry for several days because of this matter, and his mood has been unstable recently, if he can deal with this matter as soon as possible, the anger in his heart can dissipate.
Jiang Zhan was in the prison and met the female musician who made the emperor happy.
This woman is very beautiful, and her temperament is transparent, like a white and flawless mutton fat jade.
However, there was a hint of cold arrogance in her eyes, and it was obvious that this woman's temperament was not as weak as her appearance.
This person has a firm heart, and few people can easily shake it, so after she gave her heart to her childhood sweetheart, it was absolutely impossible for her to agree to be the emperor's woman.
Even if Wang Yunfeng hadn't assassinated His Majesty before, this woman would have taken matters into her own hands and guarded her beloved's chastity.
When the female musician saw Jiang Zhan, she completely treated him as air, and just blindly sat by the wall in a daze.
The emperor didn't let her be tortured, so even if she was locked up in prison, she didn't suffer.
"Wang Yunfeng is now a fugitive wanted by the imperial court for you, the emperor has found out his whereabouts, it must not be long before you can reunite here!" Jiang Zhan deliberately used Wang Yunfeng's news to test her.
"If you really find Yunfeng, you won't come to the Heavenly Prison!" The female musician looked at him coldly and said.
She knew that Wang Yunfeng was not so easy to be caught.
"Looks like you know where he's hiding?" Jiang Zhan hooked his lips and smiled, "What he committed, unless you are not caught in this life, you are destined to live differently and die differently!" ”
"If it weren't for the Dog Emperor who took a fancy to me and had to accept me as a concubine, Yun Feng would not have done such a dangerous thing!" The female musician roared.
They originally agreed to reunite in the capital and never separate, but they were hindered by the emperor, and now they are separated by Lao Yan, and she can't wait to kill the emperor with her own hands.
"It's never Your Majesty who wants to separate you, when Lord Sun took you into the palace, he told His Majesty that your family is innocent, and you are an orphan without a family, Your Majesty has the idea of taking you into the harem, if you know it directly with him at that time, maybe there will be no disaster today!" Jiang Zhan's words made the female musician stunned.
She never thought that she would be honest with the emperor about her thoughts, after all, the power of heaven is unpredictable, and no one can predict whether he will immediately kill himself after knowing that there is someone else in his heart.
The female musician still remembers that she married Wang Yunfeng and had children, if she didn't have to do it as a last resort, she didn't want to die.
It's a pity that no one understands the grief and indignation in her heart, and Lord Sun even gave her to the emperor directly as if she were a commodity.
So she hated the emperor and Lord Sun, so she refused to say anything.
"Enough, you told me this, just to make me believe that the emperor is innocent, but his identity has created today's results, even if he doesn't know the inside story, he is also an accomplice!"
If it weren't for Master Sun's desire to curry favor with him, things wouldn't have come to this point at all, so he was not unjustly hurt.
Subsequently, no matter how Jiang Zhan asked, she didn't speak anymore.
After Jiang Zhan left the prison, he immediately went to find Master Sun again.
Since the female musician was given to the emperor by him, he must know something.
At present, Wang Yunfeng's identity is a mystery, and the threat to the emperor has not been eliminated.
After all, after his assassination failed, no one could guess what he would do next, if he was obsessed and continued to find someone to assassinate the emperor, no one could afford the consequences......
