Before Zhong Xiaoshu could react, Yin Zhige had already chased him out with lightning speed.

When Zhong Xiaoshu came back to his senses, there was still Yin Zhige's figure in front of him.

Between the lightning and flint, Zhong Xiaoshu thought a lot, and one thought after another swept away in his mind.

In the end, she chose the most effective option.

"Someone, there's an assassin!"

Zhong Xiaoshu's voice pierced the silent night, and the lights in the palace lit up everywhere.

After a while, the originally quiet palace gradually became lively.

Because of Yin Zhige and Zhong Xiaoshu, there was a great deal of trouble caused by assassins assassinating Yin Zhige and Zhong Xiaoshu.

Before dawn, the news spread throughout the palace.

And the emperor still knew about it when it was just dawn and he was about to go to the court.

Early in the morning, the emperor got dressed under the service of the eunuchs.

As soon as he turned around, he saw that his personal eunuch was about to speak and stopped looking at him.

It seems that there is something difficult to say, I don't know whether to say it or not, or I don't know how to say it.

Xiao Dezi's fragmented appearance caused the emperor's displeasure, and the emperor lowered his eyes to look at him, "What's wrong?" Just say anything. ”

The emperor will know about this sooner or later, and the personal eunuch will also know this.

But he was still worried that he would tell the emperor that Yin Zhige would be assassinated, and if the emperor was angry, he would directly become cannon fodder.

But looking at the emperor's eyes when he looked at himself, it seemed that this matter would not work if he didn't talk about it now.

Thinking of this, the personal eunuch gritted his teeth, and under the impatient gaze of the emperor, he finally mustered up the courage to speak.

"Your Majesty...... Yesterday there were assassins in the palace. ”

The eunuch didn't dare to finish it all at once, and looked at the emperor's face cautiously as he spoke, for fear that he would miss something.

Assassin?

The emperor didn't have any other thoughts, he thought about it for a while, he slept well by himself last night, and he didn't hear any movement.

In this way, didn't the Assassin come to assassinate him, or was he discovered before he even came to his palace?

Since nothing happened, the emperor didn't care much about it, so he casually asked, "The assassin came to assassinate me, but he was caught, did he interrogate anything?" ”

It is understandable that the emperor thinks that the assassins are going to assassinate him, after all, he is the most tempting person in the palace.

Then when the personal eunuch heard this, the cold sweat came down instantly, and he hesitated for a while.

In line with the principle of early death and early transcendence, he said directly in one breath: "The assassin is not to assassinate the emperor, to assassinate the prince." ”

As soon as this sentence came out. The personal eunuch felt that the temperature around him had dropped by a few degrees, and hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at the emperor again.

The emperor turned his head violently, "What are you talking about, the assassin is going to assassinate Yin Zhige?" ”

Without waiting for the eunuch to answer, the emperor's questions popped up one after another.

"Is there anything wrong with him? How could an assassin assassinate him? Did the Assassins catch it? Did any interrogation come out of anything? ”

The anxiety on the emperor's face was undisguised, he really loved Yin Zhige.

The eunuch didn't know whether he should be happy or sad at this time, and hurriedly answered a few questions from the emperor at the moment.

"If you go back to the emperor, the prince has nothing to do, and the assassin has been caught, but nothing has been asked yet."

Hearing the eunuch say that Yin Zhige was fine, the emperor was obviously relieved.

But before he could finish his breath, he became angry again.

"How daring!" The emperor was furious, and directly swept the things on the table next to him to the ground, and smiled coldly.

"How dare you do it right under my nose, does this assassin eat the bear's heart and leopard's gall?

Check, check for me!

No matter what method is used, the main messenger behind the scenes must be found out. ”

Frightened by the emperor's sudden anger, the body of the personal eunuch trembled.

He hurriedly echoed the emperor: "Yes, the slave only knows, so I will go down and order Dali Temple." ”

Because of the emperor's death order, Dali Temple was ruthless to the assassin this time, and the assassin did not last long, and soon said the mastermind.

However, the moment they heard the mastermind's name, the people of Dali Temple did not feel relieved, but felt a chill in their hearts, and cold sweat immediately came down.

- The mastermind in the mouth of the assassin turned out to be King Leng who was locked up by the emperor only yesterday!

In order not to make a mistake, the people of Dali Temple repeatedly interrogated the assassin several times.

But every time the assassin was this answer, and in desperation, the people of Dali Temple had to tell the emperor this answer.

After telling the answer that it was still this, to the surprise of the people of Dali Temple, the emperor did not feel incredulous, but only angry.

After a burst of anger, the emperor calmed down.

"It stands to reason that the Assassin's admission that the mastermind is King Leng is conclusive evidence.

It's just that in order for King Leng not to say that I have wronged him, you go and invite him out too, and bring the assassins too, so that they can confront me and confront me! ”

The people of Dali Temple did not dare to provoke the emperor at this time, so they hurriedly agreed.

King Leng knew nothing about all this.

When he learned that the emperor had summoned him, he thought that the emperor had changed his mind and was very excited.

On the way to see the emperor, the footsteps were fluttering.

However, this excitement disappeared the moment he met the emperor.

With so many years of experience in the palace, as soon as he entered the house, King Leng noticed that something was wrong.

hurriedly restrained his smile and honestly saluted the emperor for a while: "See Your Majesty." ”

Unexpectedly, the emperor did not comfort him as he imagined on the road, but looked at him coldly and did not say a word.

The emperor only looked at King Leng for a long time, and only saw King Leng break out in a cold sweat.

Take advantage of this gap to seriously think about where you have done something wrong recently.

After getting a negative answer, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment, the emperor also spoke at the same time.

"Aiqing, tell King Leng what good things he has done!"

King Leng hurriedly looked at the people in Dali Temple on the side.

The people of Dali Temple did not dare to delay, cleared their throats, and then told everything that had happened last night and the assassin's confession.

Finally, the "kind" asked, "Lord, can you plead guilty?" ”

And King Leng's eyes widened when the people of Dali Temple said the first charge, and now when he heard the people of Dali Temple ask, he retorted in horror.

"Your Majesty, I didn't, I didn't do these things, you have to believe me, I really didn't."

King Leng couldn't wait, and his face was panicked, as if he said that he would die a second late and there would be no place to bury.

He shook his head as he spoke, but the emperor never said a word to him from beginning to end.

At this moment, the assassin who had been waiting next to him finally spoke.

"Lord Wang, you instructed me in this matter, and I have already explained it to them, don't continue to deny it, admit it."

King Leng hurriedly looked at the assassin, his eyes were about to split, and he was about to say something more, but the assassin looked compassionate again.

"Lord, you can admit it, I am not afraid of the emperor's blame, you are very strict with us on weekdays, otherwise it would be difficult for me to say this today."
