Although this was not the first time Tao Mingxi had met an assassin, he had been in Xing Tianze's study before, and the feeling of such a thing happening in his own courtyard was completely different.

Xing Tianze helped Tao Mingxi to sit down on the chair, and as for the assassin, he could guess that it was sent by his imperial brother who was sitting on the dragon chair.

Not hesitating to send assassins to assassinate is enough to show that the emperor is about to sit still, and the situation in the next game of chess between the two is probably going up a level.

Traceless looked down at the token in his hand and sat on the chair, a meaningful smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, as if the assassin had not come to assassinate him and Xing Tianze, but to give them a big gift.

At the same time, this time also revealed Xing Tianze's disadvantages, and the difference between the identities of monarchs and ministers is too great.

If the assassination is successful tonight, it will inevitably cause a storm in the court tomorrow, and the assassination of the fifth prince can only show that his skills are not as good as others, and in the end he can only make people sigh and be unable to do anything, and will be forgotten after a period of time.

On the contrary, if Xing Tianze sent a killer to assassinate the emperor, the entire Xingzhao Kingdom would be in turmoil tomorrow, and all the ministers would point the finger at the five princes at the first time.

The ministers of open and secret fighting can accept it, after all, it is the two people who play according to their own abilities, and the act of stabbing will raise the severity of the matter to another level.

Everyone will accuse Xing Tianze, and even more so they will charge him with rebellion.

At first, Zhu'er, as a subordinate, did not choose to return to the house at all, and took the initiative to retreat to the kitchen and ordered someone to boil a pot of boiling water for the princess and princess, which was not something she was qualified to hear at all.

Tao Mingxi listened carefully to Wuji's explanation, and lowered his eyes slightly to think about the current situation.

There is no doubt that there is a dragon and tiger dispute between Xing Tianze and the emperor, and only after one party is eliminated can this turmoil really stop, and the most indecisive expression that cannot be allowed to exist cannot even happen.

If you accidentally drop a wrong piece, the entire chessboard will become a dead piece, and none of the three people present will be spared.

"Come and don't be rude, it's time for you to drop a killing chess, so that all the ministers can come to see your determination." Traceless gently placed the token on the table.

"There is no one who knows me as if there is no trace." A sneer appeared on Xing Tianze's face, turned around and walked to the side and quickly wrote a line of words on the paper with the pen in Tao Mingxi's room, and then wrapped the token and threw it out of the window.

Strangely, there was no sound of landing, as if someone had caught the token in mid-air.

"Tonight is not destined to be a peaceful night, the capital has been quiet for so long that people are intoxicated with drunkenness, forgetting the murderous aura that exists in itself." Traceless smiled and drank the wine in the glass.

Tao Mingxi glanced at Xing Tianze and Wuji's bodies, and didn't understand what kind of dumb fans the two were really fighting......

The next morning, any place in the palace was guarded by the Yulin army, and the faces of those walking on any road, whether eunuchs or palace maids, were full of fear and nervousness.

A palace surrounded by the Yulin Army, the corridor, the door, and the palace maids and eunuchs in the hall knelt on the ground, trembling slightly, and did not dare to raise their heads.

A richly dressed woman knelt beside the bed and let out a heart-wrenching cry, even if the tears slid down her face and sparked her makeup, she didn't care.

The emperor and empress stood in the middle of the palace, with more than a dozen Yulin soldiers standing beside them to protect them.

If anyone dares to raise their heads, they will definitely find that the emperor's face can only be described as an iron blue, his hands are clenched into fists tightly, and his body is constantly trembling.

The queen's face was also a sad color, and there were more than a dozen imperial doctors kneeling on the ground and trembling constantly, sweat kept dripping from his forehead in such a cold weather.

On the bed made of sandalwood lay a man, his face pale and not the slightest ruddy, even if he was covered with a layer of exquisite satin bedding, and no one would envy him at the moment.

Because he was assassinated an hour ago, this person is no one else, it is the current third prince of Xingzhao Kingdom!

No one would have thought that someone would dare to risk the world's condemnation and sneak into the palace late at night to assassinate the third prince and succeed, and also took away the jade wrench that he had worn on his left thumb for many years.

"Someone will push out all the guards in charge of the Three Princes' Bedroom tonight and behead them, and their family members will be demoted to slave-level staffs, and they will be punished with a hundred hairs and charged with an army of three thousand miles, and they will not be hired forever." The Emperor almost gritted his teeth and uttered the decree.

"Yes!" After kneeling on one knee and saluting, more than a dozen Yulin soldiers turned around and walked out of the gate.

Then there was a sound of begging for mercy outside the door, and the eunuchs and palace maids and the imperial doctors were even more heartbroken.

"Your Majesty, please see, this thing was found outside the window of the third prince's bedroom, and it should have been accidentally dropped by the assassin when he was assassinating." One of the guards knelt respectfully on the ground, a token in his hands.

After the emperor turned his head slightly, he almost didn't vomit a mouthful of blood out of anger.

How could he not recognize this token, it was something that everyone in the secret army under his command had to carry with him.

"Did you say your own people did it?" As soon as this thought came to the emperor's heart, it was quickly extinguished by him.

Those people were his right-hand men, and they were the shadows and eyes of all the ministers of the court, and the emperor dared to guarantee that these people would be absolutely loyal to him, and it was absolutely impossible for them to do such a thing.

Soon the emperor thought of someone in his heart, gritted his teeth and took a deep breath of cold air, and the murderous intent that erupted in his eyes became more and more intense.

This is a typical characteristic of a person after he has been angry to the extreme, although the emperor did not show any movement, it can be seen from his iron face, and the green tendons that have already appeared on his forehead.

The news of the assassination of the third prince soon spread among all the ministers, some jumped out of bed in surprise, and some were so shocked that they almost fainted.

However, many people know in their hearts that the only person who can have such courage is Xing Tianze, and he also has such strength.

Many officials have the same idea in their hearts: the fifth prince's hand can really be regarded as a shock, and he has taken the initiative to cut off all his back roads.
