Half a month is fleeting.

Beijing, the residence of the Eight Princes, study.

Lu Shuyun looked at the information in his hand, his teeth clenched tightly, and his eyes were bloodshot.

He was now speechless with rage.

In the past, when he was angry, he would drop things, but the information he received today made him so angry that he forgot to smash things, his body trembled with anger, and his face even began to break out in a cold sweat.

He never thought that the owner of the Blood Moon Mansion would bring so many Nine-Rank Martial Artists to assassinate a waste prince in person, and they would all fail!!

The owner of the Blood Moon Tower is a veritable grandmaster!

Even if there is a mysterious grandmaster in the Northern Palace, it is no problem for the owner of the Blood Moon Tower to drag him down!

Of course, what made Lu Shuyun even more angry was the rebellion of Wang Tianci.

Wang Tianci, an assassin who was raised by the Wang family since he was a child, has now defected to the Northern Palace.

Lu Shuyun tore the information in his hand to shreds, and he sneered and said, "Good, good, good, very good!" No wonder the Northern Palace's Mansion was able to dodge the assassination of the Blood Moon Tower every time, it turned out to be a traitor! ”

"My good brother, you really have the ability to rebel against the assassins that the Wang family has cultivated since childhood!"

"I really underestimated you!"

Just when Lu Shuyun couldn't find a way to get angry, he suddenly heard a commotion outside.

Immediately afterwards, a subordinate broke in in in a panic and said, "Your Highness, something is wrong!" ”

Lu Shuyun, who was angry, was just about to kill this subordinate to vent the anger in his heart, when he heard the subordinate say: "Your Highness, you run away!" Some masked assassins have broken in from outside, and our people can't stop them! ”

Hearing this, Lu Shuyun was stunned.

Masked assassins?

Who dares to assassinate a prince in the capital?

At this time, Lu Shuyun didn't think about Lu Chen at all, after all, Lu Chen was far away in Beijun, and there was only one mysterious grandmaster by his side, so it was impossible for him to send that mysterious grandmaster to the capital to assassinate him.

The first thing Lu Shuyun thought of was the other princes who participated in the succession, as long as he died, they would have one less competitor.

It's just that......

Is there really a prince who dares to do such a thing as assassinating a prince in the capital?

If this is found out, not to mention that the qualifications for the heir are gone, and it is even possible to be driven out of the capital and become a vassal.

But now is not the time to think about this, the other party has already broken in, and he must find a quiet place to hide.

Fortunately, there are some underground passages in his mansion, and there is no problem at all to escape, and Lu Shuyun is not worried that he will die at all.

Immediately, Lu Shuyun entered the underground passage of the palace, and then used the underground passage to escape.

In the end, although the masked assassins broke into the mansion of the Eighth Emperor and killed all of the Eight Prince's men and some of his disciples, they found no trace of the Eighth Emperor.

Of course, the original purpose of these assassins was not the Eighth Prince.

By the time the forbidden army of the Imperial City arrived, all the masked assassins had left.

The news of the assassination of the Eighth Prince soon spread throughout the capital, and since Emperor Xia ascended the throne, except for the last time when Chen Guoyu entered the palace to assassinate Emperor Xia, there have rarely been such a bad incident.

A prince, while staying in his mansion, was assassinated by a group of masked assassins.

When Emperor Xia heard about this, he was even more angry.

Since he ascended the throne, few people dared to make such trouble in the imperial city, the last time Chen Guoyu entered the palace, mainly to find something accidentally discovered by the guards, Emperor Xia just exaggerated that he was assassinated, and then used this to exile the Mu Guogong family, which was not a real assassination.

But this time was different.

This time, those assassins entered the mansion of the Eighth Prince with great fanfare, and when they encountered one by one, they directly washed the Eighth Prince's mansion in blood.

It can be seen that the assassins have become lawless and have not taken imperial power into account at all.

This kind of thing actually happened at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how could Emperor Xia not be angry.

Emperor Xia ordered that night that the Criminal Department and the Imperial City Forbidden Army should immediately arrest those assassins, and no one should be spared.

The next morning.

Xuanzheng Palace.

Early in the morning, the officials came to the Xuanzheng Hall and waited.

They had already heard about what had happened last night, and the people were all very shocked, no one thought that there would be such a bold assassin as daring to directly send someone to wash the mansion of the Eighth Prince.

You must know that there is a grandmaster and a number of masters in the Eighth Prince's Mansion.

At this time, Lu Shuyun dragged his tired body into the Xuanzheng Palace.

At this time, Lu Shuyun's face was pale, completely bloodless, and the whole person looked as if he had lost his soul.

Seeing Lu Shuyun himself appear, the ministers immediately surrounded him.

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

"Your Highness, are you injured?"

"Your Highness, those thieves are really hateful, they dare to trespass on your mansion, and I believe that Your Majesty will not let those thieves go."

……

Listening to the voices of the officials shushing and asking for warmth, Lu Shuyun didn't say anything.

Although he escaped from the mansion yesterday and was not injured, what happened last night really scared him.

He learned this morning that the disciples of his mansion, as well as the grandmaster sent by the royal family to protect him, had all been killed.

Not only that, but the entire palace was almost dead except for him and a few subordinates who escaped.

At first, Lu Shuyun thought that those masters in his mansion would have no problem blocking those assassins.

He entered the underground passage of the mansion just in case, in case an assassin could find him directly.

But he didn't expect that the purpose of the assassins was not only to assassinate him as a prince, but also to assassinate his disciples.

At this moment, the voice of the eunuch came from the main hall.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

The officials hurried back to where they were standing, and then saluted and said, "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." ”

At this time, Emperor Xia stood in front of the dragon chair and did not sit down, but looked at the officials below condescendingly.

Emperor Xia's eyes seemed to exude a strong killing intent, and it seemed that what happened last night really made him feel very angry.

At this time, Lu Shuyun knelt on the ground with a snap, and then said loudly: "Father, you have to be the master of your son!" In the huge mansion of Erchen, only four people survived in the end! ”

Lu Shuyun's words fell, and Emperor Xia still didn't speak, his eyes swept over the princes in the hall.

Being stared at by Emperor Xia with murderous eyes, the princes all felt a huge pressure, and their foreheads couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Although this matter was not done by them, but now is the critical time to seize the heir, and the suspicion of several of them is the greatest, after all, as soon as the eighth prince dies, they will have one less powerful competitor.

But a few of them are not fools, how could they do such a bloody thing at the feet of the Son of Heaven to wash the prince's mansion.

If this is found out, it will be a trivial matter to be driven out, and if their father is angry, he directly demotes them to concubines, it will be miserable.

Several princes were very depressed, in the end, that idiot actually did this kind of thing at this time, could this be Lu Shuyun's self-directed and self-acting.
