Chapter Seventy-Four: Assassination Outside the Palace Gate

Tang Wenjun still knelt on the ground, and after careful consideration, he hesitated to confide in his thoughts, and from time to time he raised his head and glanced up cautiously.

Sure enough, he really got the bet right, and that's indeed the reason.

"Oh, it looks like you're not unsaved!"

When Tang Wenjun heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed, and bluntly said that he was an unintentional mistake.

"Forgive me for not knowing about it, but the third child's mistake is wrong, if something that violates the ancestral system is put on the table, if someone sees it, it will definitely say that I am arrogant, and you should know the lethality of this rumor during this time."

The words were knocked on behalf of the generation, and Tang Wenjun was shocked by cold sweat on his back.

He glanced up again, and muttered in his heart.

Isn't it the rumors of the abolished prince, and the ghost behind his back was discovered?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Emperor Xiaowen's deep voice sound again: "Third child, in view of your unintentional mistake this time, I will not punish you heavily, so I will copy the Book of Filial Piety three hundred times, and turn back and put it in the ancestral ancestral hall to worship, can you understand?" ”

Tang Wenjun had words of suffering, and finally lowered his head.

"Yes, my son obeys."

Emperor Xiaowen didn't bother to look at this stupid son anymore, so he waved his hand directly and let people leave.

Tang Wenjun kowtowed again, and when he stood up on the ground, he staggered, and hung his head in embarrassment and took a few steps back before leaving the imperial study.

Just as soon as he came out of the imperial study, his face sank instantly, and he caught a glimpse of Ping An not far away gesturing to himself, and his heart was relieved, and he strode over.

"Your Highness."

"Got things figured out?"

Ping An nodded, and was about to say when he was stopped by Tang Wenjun.

"The wall has ears, and you will speak when you go out of the palace."

"Yes!"

The master and servant left the palace as fast as they could, and while they were waiting for the carriage of the mansion to come, they heard Ping'an's report.

"Back to the Third Highness, the servants went to the Duobao Pavilion to find out that it was the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Blue and White Porcelain Bottle that was Emperor Taizu's favorite object, and it was easy to take it out of the Pavilion on weekdays, but when you went to the Duobao Pavilion to choose the flower bottle, it happened to be when the minions at the bottom cleaned the old objects, so you saw the blue and white porcelain bottle."

Tang Wenjun's face darkened a little again when he heard this, and he said coldly: "His Highness doesn't know about this matter, doesn't the servants of Duobao Pavilion know either, this is obviously someone who deliberately wants to see His Highness make trouble!" ”

I saw that he clenched the hand under his sleeve into a fist, and a flash of killing intent flashed under his eyes.

"You can find out who is the master behind the minions in the Duobao Pavilion!"

Hearing this, Ping An lowered his head again and replied in a low voice: "If you go back to Your Highness, the minions of the Duobao Pavilion are all old people in the palace, but Your Highness is afraid that you have forgotten that the Wanshou Festival in previous years was handled by the queen mother." ”

As soon as these words came out, Tang Wenjun, who was like a slap in the face, was full of gold stars, and suddenly turned his head to look at Ping'an.

Yes, in previous years, the Queen was in charge of the Wanshou Festival, and the housekeeping in the palace was in her hands.

Oh, it's really the queen, and you don't see blood when you kill people!

It's a shame that he still went to her palace with a shy face to ask for advice, and she also deserves to be his "queen mother"!

It's shameless!

After all, they are all princes who have grown up in the palace smoothly, even if they are stupid on the surface, they are definitely not really innocent.

Tang Wenjun clenched his fists again and gritted his teeth and cursed.

Ping'an pretended not to hear anything, and stood behind him as a backdrop.

Finally, the carriage came.

"Your Highness, the carriage is here, it's time for us to go home."

Tang Wenjun snorted coldly, raised his legs and walked in the direction of the carriage.

Who would have thought that it would be too late, and just as he was about to step on the stool to go up, a silver light came straight at him.

Ping An happened to be standing half a step behind him, with a sharp glimpse of his eyes, and he pushed Tang Wenjun away without thinking about it.

"Peace!"

Tang Wenjun shouted silently, and his eyes were instantly stained red with blood.

The inexplicable appearance of the assassins in front of the palace gate alarmed the patrolling Praetorian Guards, and soon people besieged them.

Dozens of Assassins were seen to act like dead soldiers, but in the end, they were no match for the well-trained Praetorian Guard, and they were quickly defeated.

However, two or three Assassins managed to escape.

"Third Highness, are you alright?"

Tang Wenjun's Danfeng eyes were scarlet, and he hugged the peace in his arms, and without thinking about it, he took out the saber on the waist of the Praetorian Guard in front of him, and pointed directly at the assassin and asked sharply: "Say, who sent you to assassinate His Highness!" ”

The assassin's hands were clamped behind him, and he glared angrily at Tang Wenjun, gritted the poison pill hidden in his teeth, tilted his head and fell down directly.

Seeing this, Tang Wenjun immediately used his saber to pick away the assassin who was also pressed next to him, and without saying a word, he first unloaded his jaw, ordered someone to find out the poison pill and then closed it for him.

"It's not that easy to die!" Tang Wenjun gritted his teeth and roared, turned his head and looked at the Janissary Squad Leader who was standing aside, "Lord Qi, I heard clearly, within an hour, His Highness will know who sent them to assassinate His Highness." ”

The corners of Qi Huan's mouth twitched uncomfortably, but he still saluted respectfully on his face.

"Your Royal Highness, rest assured, the minister will definitely interrogate well."

"I'm tired."

After Tang Wenjun handed over the matter to him, he immediately ordered someone to send Ping'an to the Tai Hospital, and he did not rush back to the mansion and went straight to the imperial study to stab the matter to Emperor Xiaowen.

Seeing Tang Wenjun who went and returned, Emperor Xiaowen had one head and two big.

But when he heard that he was assassinated at the gate of the palace, he was furious, and immediately ordered someone to investigate the matter thoroughly.

"Father, the sons are conscientious, diligent and diligent, and they are also kind to others on weekdays, never relying on the identity of the prince to deceive the superiors and subordinates, and I don't know who is so vicious to put the sons and daughters to death, if it is not for the peaceful and heroic savior, the sons are afraid that they will never see their fathers again, and ask their fathers to be the masters for their sons!"

Tang Wenjun was still kneeling in the imperial study, crying one after another, which made the listeners cry and the listeners sad.

Although Emperor Xiaowen felt that he had no eyes to see this, he also felt that his third son was also a true temperament, and if he didn't really regard him as a father, he would not be able to do such a humiliating thing.

"Come on, the third child, cry and cry like something, I have promised you that you will investigate this matter thoroughly and not lose your words, you will go back to the mansion first."

In fact, Tang Wenjun had already guessed, but he didn't dare to say it in front of Emperor Xiaowen.

Now that he heard that Emperor Xiaowen wanted to send himself away, where was he willing, he hurriedly reported the matter of capturing the assassin alive and being taken away by Qi Huan one by one.

Emperor Xiaowen's face sank a little more when he heard this, and he looked at him and asked, "You said that the assassin was taken away by Qi Huan?" ”
