The East Palace and study room at this moment.
The prince was furious in front of the staff who were kneeling below him: "Idiot, idiot."
The emperor did not leave the palace easily. This trip to the summer resort was a rare opportunity.
It failed!
The leader of the staff stood up and asked the people kneeling on the ground to leave. He whispered to the prince in a low voice: "Your Highness, fortunately, he was not exposed."
The prince's cold eyes glanced at him: "You still want to be exposed? There are only twelve members of the Royal Forest Army, and Goshawk has a total of twenty-four people. The number of people is fully double that of the Royal Forest Army. You still failed like this."
You should be ashamed. Where to throw it?
The staff advised him: "Your Highness, even if you fail, the future throne will still be yours."
"The problem is that it was Gu who brought up the matter of going to the Summer Resort. The old man has begun to doubt Gu. ”
“Your Highness is overly worried. The assassination was done by Goshawk and has nothing to do with His Highness.”
When the prince heard this, his eyebrows moved: "You continue."
The staff added: "Fu Ciyi saved the emperor this time, so he has done a lot of credit. And he is the son-in-law of Chenglong who is favored by Prime Minister Cai. , Prime Minister Cai has come to support His Highness. From now on, Your Highness will benefit the most from Fu Ciyi's promotion."
The prince smiled lightly when he heard this: "You mean, is this action a loss? "
"No problem, Fu Ciyi is on the same team. As long as he is Prime Minister Cai's son-in-law, in the eyes of outsiders, they are naturally on the same team." The staff lowered their voices, "Use twenty-four points. Goshawk's life is a gain in exchange for Fu Ciyi's supporter."
There are many dead men, but only twenty-four Goshawk's lives.
The prince smiled and said: "Fu Ciyi was compared to a thorn by the old man. Such a person is not very obedient. How can he become a supporter of Gu?"
"Just let Prime Minister Cai give me a few pointers. "The staff thought for a moment and then said, "Your Highness is the crown prince and the future emperor. If Fu Ciyi is aware of current affairs, he is a talented person. It is only your Highness who will follow suit."
"No wonder the second and third sons are rushing to win over him. , then let’s beat him appropriately.”
“My subordinates believe that His Highness should speak more kindly to Fu Ciyi in front of the Emperor. In this way, the Emperor will also reduce his suspicion of His Highness.” >
The prince smiled and nodded: "That makes sense."
Smiling, the smile turned cold: "Have the five escaped goshawks been found?"
The staff replied: "Their bodies have been found. They probably blame themselves for not completing the task. They all He killed himself by taking poison."
"Very well, don't let anyone find out about Gu's relationship with Goshawk."
"I understand!"
——
Fu Mansion, study room.
Fu Ciyi asked quietly: "Are there any clues revealed in this operation?"
Leng Ying clasped his fists: "Your Majesty, don't worry, we are lucky enough to live up to our mission!"
>Lengfeng also said: "For this assassination, Goshawk sent twenty-four assassins. When they took action, five of us intercepted and killed the five Goshawks and put on their clothes and weapons. During the action, we did not fight with them. They said half a word."
Leng Ying added: "On the night of the assassination, all the remaining nineteen assassins were killed. The five of us escaped safely, please rest assured!"
At that time, the five of them and the ten Goshawk killers all faced the dragon tent. When the master appeared, they all faced the master.
The two swords on the master's body were struck by them.
As for the stabbing and killing of the ministers and the imperial guards, it was all done by Goshawk and had nothing to do with them.
Fu Ciyi nodded: "Okay."
He was just taking advantage of the opportunity.
After all these years, the royal disputes are still as cunning and bloody as ever, and the bloodshed has not diminished at all.
After talking about what happened on the night of the assassination, Leng Feng Leng Ying still had lingering fears.
“It’s best that the prince’s injuries don’t have any sequelae.” Leng Feng was uneasy.
Leng Ying was even more frightened: "Why did the prince let us cut him in the heart and the thigh with a knife?"
They are all critical points. If it were to go to such a small position, the prince's Life is gone immediately.
Fu Ciyi smiled lightly: "There are not many people in this world that I can trust, and that's you."
He didn't believe that he could sacrifice his life to save him and train secret guards for him regardless of compensation for more than ten years. Who can they trust?
Oh, by the way, compared to the imperial physician, he still believed in her medical skills.
Leng Feng Leng Ying burst into tears of gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for believing me!" "Okay, please go back."
"Yes."
——
Early the next morning, the prince entered the palace.
As soon as he arrived at the imperial study, he took off his robe, his inner clothes as well, and tied thorns on his back.
The emperor sat calmly and looked at him: "What are you doing?"
The prince immediately knelt down and said: "I know my mistake. My father was assassinated while traveling. It was all because of my son's lack of consideration, which allowed the assassin to take advantage of the loophole."
While speaking, he raised his hand and took the whip from his entourage. .
There was a snap.
Hit his back with a whip.
The whip passed over the thorns and immediately left a trail of blood on the skin of his back.
The prince's behavior made the emperor frown: "What are you doing?"
Although he didn't get up to look at the prince's back, he felt pain just by the sound.
The head chamberlain hurriedly walked behind the prince, and what he saw made him exclaim: "Your Majesty, His Highness the prince's skin is cracked."
The prince raised his hand again, trying to swat again. A whip for myself.
The emperor shouted: "That's enough, let it go."
The prince then threw down the whip, cupped his hands and said, "Fortunately, Mr. Fu and Mr. Yan protected my father's safety. I thought I should reward Mr. Fu and Mr. Yan. I have always been timid and was at a loss when the incident happened. Now every time I think of it, Very regretful."
"Regretful for what?" the emperor asked.
"I regret that I didn't step forward like Mr. Fu and Mr. Yan, and use my own body to block him."
The emperor sneered in his heart, this prince was used to showing off.
But the prince did not say anything, he also planned to promote Fu Ciyi and Yan Xinghe.
As for the promotion, it remains to be considered.
At this moment, a young eunuch came hurriedly.
As soon as I entered the royal study, I was shocked to see the prince in such a battle.
The chief chamberlain glanced at him, and the young eunuch stepped forward with lowered eyebrows and eyes, respectfully holding a letter in both hands: "Your Majesty, a letter from the eldest princess."
The chief chamberlain accepted it. The letter was forwarded to the emperor.
The emperor glanced at the words on the envelope and waved his hand: "Prince, step back."
"Yes, Father."
The prince stood up and stepped back without putting on his clothes.
The emperor then opened the envelope and read what was written on the letter. He took a glance at it and laughed loudly.
The chamberlain asked with a smile: "What makes the emperor so happy?"
"The eldest princess is about to return to Beijing. She hasn't come back yet, so she came to ask me for a betrothal gift."
"The emperor has always loved the eldest princess, and the emperor is probably going to accept this betrothal gift." "
The emperor was obviously in a good mood: "Which noble girl do you think she is marrying for Achi?"
The servant quickly bowed: "The old slave is too scared to guess. "
“You old fox, what else don’t you dare to guess?”
"The old slave dares to guess?"
"Guess."
"The second lady of the Yan family was previously married to Prince Chi. Later, Prince Chi broke off the engagement. Now. The real second young lady of the Yan family has returned, and Prince Chi is also responsible for it. The old slave guessed that the eldest princess helped Prince Chi to marry the real second young lady of the Yan family.”
The emperor nodded and smiled: "You guessed it right." (End of Chapter)
