Chapter 118: Visiting the Palace

Kang Wansheng sorted out his thoughts for a while, and said slowly: "If the assassination of the prince is a play they play, what is their purpose?" After a while, he said to himself: "Is it to attract our attention, and to use that plan of 'hiding from the sky and crossing the sea'? It's not good, senior brother, they are in danger!"

Old Master Kang hurriedly asked why. Kang Wansheng replied: "As my father said just now, those assassins deliberately let me find out, and I wondered what their purpose was, since they didn't really want to assassinate, they must want to divert our attention." Let's focus on capturing the Assassins. They are secretly working tricks. I think their focus must not be in Zhongjing City, then it must be in the princess's tomb outside the city! They led Senior Sister Du Wu and others to the 'Beast Emperor Divine Pill' and 'Holy Water Spirit Bead' on Senior Sister Du Wu! The news that Mu Fengchun's predecessors inquired must have been deliberately exposed to us by the other party, and let us divide our troops into two ways and go all the way to save people, and the enemy can be said to be quite accurate. If I had been right, they would have taken advantage of the chaos in the city to gather all the men and horses to the princess's grave. We need to send reinforcements as soon as possible. ”

Old Master Kang said: "It's an urgent matter, if you want to mobilize the army, you need to live or the prince personally order, you and I will go to the prince's mansion, I must explain to the prince in person!"

Kang Wansheng said: "Daddy, your body?"

"It's okay, you take that old horse out of the backyard, you haven't ridden it in years."

Kang Wansheng took out the old horse that his father had ridden in the backyard stable, put on a saddle, helped his father get on the horse, and led the old horse to the prince's mansion.

When he arrived at the prince's mansion, Kang Wansheng told the guards about his intention, and the guards hurriedly went in. After a while, Prince Li Tianze personally greeted him: "What is the urgency of Elder Kang, he actually came in person." Kang Wansheng hurriedly helped his father get off the horse, greeted the prince, and followed the prince to the study.

After the three of them sat down, Old Master Kang explained his intentions. Li Tianze groaned: "There is such a thing?"

Old Master Kang said: "What abnormal behavior has the female relatives in the palace been doing recently, Weichen watched the sky at night and found that the foundation of a big star was loose, which should be on the prince, and the cause should be a female dependent beside the prince. ”

Li Tianze said suspiciously: "Kang Lao knows that I am a person, I am not a woman, there is only one princess in the family, and the rest are palace maids." You can't do such a big thing. ”

"I beg your pardon for being disrespectful, what is wrong with the princess lately?"

"After Kang Lao's words, I remembered that the princess and I have been married for more than ten years, and they are very affectionate, but the princess has never been pregnant, and I am determined not to marry a wife except for the princess, and the matter of the heir is left to fate. Three years ago, the princess had a serious illness, and after the illness she recovered, the princess had a strange temper, she said that she was not feeling well, and refused to have sex with me. And devotion to the Buddha, built a Buddha hall in the backyard of the palace, burning incense and worshiping the Buddha every day. I only thought that she had changed her mind after she was sick, and I didn't doubt it. ”

Old Master Kang listened to what the prince said, and hurriedly said: "Weichen is brave, can you ask the princess to come out and see it, the minister knows a little about the way to observe people, or he can see some clues." ”

When Li Tianze heard this, he had no choice but to agree, and ordered someone to invite the princess. After a while, the person who went to invite returned and hurriedly reported: "The princess is gone!"

Li Tianze is also a witty person, and immediately stood up and ordered: "Come on, follow me to the backyard Buddha Hall!"

Kang Wansheng accompanied his father and Prince Li Tianze to the backyard, only to see that the Buddhist hall was empty. Li Tianze said: "Enter the Buddha Hall and search for me!" This search doesn't matter, a secret passage was found under the floor of the Buddha Hall, and the guards went down to investigate, and the exit was in another mansion facing the street. It was the house where Mu Fengchun found the enemy's traces. A large number of blades and nocturnal clothing were found in the courtyard. Apparently it's a den of thieves.

The prince ordered the number of people to be counted, and there were a total of three hundred palace guards, and at this moment, one hundred of them were missing. Li Tianze said angrily: "I love her in vain, I didn't expect her to be a villain, and she secretly replaced the guards around this king with thieves!"

Old Master Kang said: "The prince is angry, if the minister is not bad, the real princess was killed three years ago, this is probably the traitor Qiao Zhuang Yirong and impersonated." When they came to the mansion as guests, it must have been the princess's idea. ”

Li Tianze gritted his teeth and said: "Wansheng, you take my warrant and go to the Jiucheng Soldiers and Horses Division to transfer troops, go out of the city to save people, Kang Lao, you enter the palace with this king to face the saint, I want to ask the imperial brother for guilt, I have the crime of negligence!"
