Ying Yi stood silently behind the emperor, looking at the person in front of him who seemed to be old overnight.

"Didn't catch it?" The emperor's hoarse voice sounded.

"Yes, the shadow guards and guards searched the palace, but they didn't see the shadow of the assassin." Shadow replied.

The Shadow Guard's actions today are also aimed at luring out the Assassins, and the palace has already been arranged, but I don't know what's going on, the Assassins seem to have disappeared out of thin air.

Being able to enter and leave the palace under the noses of the shadow guards and palace guards is like no man's land, and I have to say that the strength of the assassin is absolutely extraordinary. But what was the purpose of such a powerful assassin, Keichi didn't understand.

"Could it be Zichen's helper?" The emperor asked.

Keichi didn't answer.

He knew that although the emperor was asking him, in fact, the emperor was just asking himself, and he didn't intend to ask him to answer.

Su Zichen has been under house arrest because of Leng Yue in the past few days, if he really helped Su Zichen, why did he hurt him like this? However, it cannot be ruled out that this method is used to clear the suspicion of Su Zichen, the emperor thought secretly.

"If the assassin doesn't attack Zichen tonight, then he will attack me." The emperor went to the shadow this time.

Ying Yi understood what the emperor meant, and looked at the emperor: "Do you need subordinates to put the Nine Emperor Princes in the dungeon?" ”

The emperor was silent for a moment and shook his head.

If the other party is really Su Zichen's person, then with Su Zichen as a hostage, the assassin naturally does not dare to act rashly. But if not, this is what the emperor is most worried about.

He was worried that the other party was looking at the throne of Beiwu, so the other party would wipe them out tonight.

The emperor had a list in front of him, which he listed overnight. But most of them were vetoed by him one by one, and although the rest of the people were suspicious, they could have helpers of that strength, and the emperor really couldn't think of anyone with that ability.

"Go to Xuan Zichen and come over." The emperor's voice was a little hoarse, and his expression was more sluggish than before.

The little father-in-law at the door got the order and immediately trotted towards the cold palace.

And these few days are also the first low point in Su Zichen's life, originally he knew that he could fight for the throne once, because Concubine Yun had been forbearance and planning for him for a long time, coupled with the appearance of Leng Yue, and the emperor's other eyes on him, it made him feel that this day was coming.

But a long-awaited cloud popped up halfway, which hit him hard. However, he was not discouraged at that time, and comforted the panicked Concubine Yun to wait patiently.

Su Jingyun's death was beyond everyone's expectations, I thought that the ironclad could not be changed, but who knew that such a huge change had happened.

Su Zichen can't hide it, and he is happy from the bottom of his heart. But in order to avoid suspicion, he still resisted not showing this emotion.

Especially when he saw that Leng Yue was suspected, so he was implicated and placed under house arrest, he firmly believed that behind this assassination, it was not Leng Yue's shot, but also Leng Yue's handiwork.

As long as Leng Yue is not arrested, the emperor will not make a move on him.

But today, when the emperor sent someone to separate him from Concubine Yun and put him under house arrest, Su Zichen realized the seriousness of the problem.

Before Concubine Yun left, she handed a jade plate to Su Zichen. Although Concubine Yun didn't say anything in front of the guards, Su Zichen fully understood what Concubine Yun meant.

This jade plate is the pass of Concubine Yun's forces, and her forces will finally be the holder of this token, and Concubine Yun gave the token to Su Zichen, that is, she gave him all the forces in her hands.

Originally, he wanted to wait until he was 100% sure before making a move, but now that the palace was in turmoil and chaos, there was no time for him to plan and wait.

"His Highness the Nine."

As soon as Su Zichen was about to enter the cold palace, he heard a sharp voice behind him.

"Father-in-law Zhao." Su Zichen turned around and saw that the person who came was the newly replaced eunuch Zhao Gonggong next to the emperor, and he was quite surprised, but he still kept his composure on his face.

Gonggong Zhao said politely: "Your Royal Highness the Nine, the emperor wants to see you." ”

This time, Su Zichen frowned slightly, he couldn't think of what the emperor would do when he summoned him at this time, but judging from the two things of being under house arrest before and Concubine Yun being taken away later, I'm afraid it's not a good thing.

"Father-in-law Zhao, my father summoned me, I don't know what happened?" Although he didn't report any hope, Su Zichen still asked. This eunuch is not the emperor's confidant, let alone those confidential things, even ordinary things, I'm afraid the emperor won't say it.

"This, the old slave doesn't know." Zhao Gonggong replied with a smile.

Although it was also a smiling face, Su Zichen felt very obviously that this Zhao Gonggong was far inferior to the previous one.

didn't say anything more at the moment, Su Zichen clenched the jade card in his hand, and said with a smile: "Then let's go." ”

Taking advantage of Zhao Gonggong's turn, Su Zichen put the jade plate into his sleeve pocket, and then followed Zhao Gonggong to the main hall.

Although Su Zichen is young, after all, he grew up in the deep palace, he is already smart, and with the guidance of Concubine Yun, he is actually no worse than Su Jingyun. At least if he is replaced, he will never be offended at this juncture. Regardless of whether you can fight it or not, in the face of the overall situation, it is really not worth wasting time on these small things.

Although Su Zichen didn't know that Su Jingyun lost his life precisely because of this, according to his observations these days, he could see how high Mu Yueqing's strength was, but he couldn't see how deep the city government was.

Of course he wouldn't believe that Shu Qingdu would really become a deceitful person if he became a waste, he believed that Su Qingdu must have enough bargaining chips in his hands to protect himself, otherwise, in the past few years, why did Su Jianfeng fail to get rid of him after several attempts?

Su Zichen has the intention to go slower, so he can think of countermeasures on the way. But Gonggong Zhao knew that the emperor was in a hurry, so he trotted all the way without saying anything, and kept urging him.

Su Zichen looked at the number of assassins around him, and only felt that this time the danger level was definitely higher than before. He guessed that the emperor was likely to make him the crown prince, just like Su Jianfeng.

Everyone knows that although the emperor has set up the sword wind as the crown prince, the actual power is still in the hands of the emperor, and the emperor uses Zhao Ziye to hold the sword wind. Zhao Ziye committed suicide, if it weren't for the assassination of Su Jianfeng, I am afraid that he would have already taken control of power.

Thinking of this, Su Zichen sighed in his heart, he and Concubine Yun had been under house arrest before, and there were some things he couldn't say, so he had received very little news in the past few days, but with his guess just now, there was a chance that the assassination was the emperor's hand.

When he thought that the emperor would kill his own son, Su Zichen felt creepy. Originally, he still had a trace of father-son affection for the emperor, but now he was also chilled by what the emperor did.

Seeing that the emperor's bedroom was getting closer and closer, Su Zichen's heart was getting heavier and heavier. He clenched his fists, and suddenly wanted to fight for this position.
