Views:

After hearing the words of Emperor Long Qing, Long Wenyu was silent for a while before saying: "The elder minister is dull. Although he has been taught by the emperor, he also knows that there are still many shortcomings in some things."

Emperor Long Qing looked at Long Wenyu with disappointment, the thought of "a waste prince" was stuck in his mind for the first time. At the same time that Emperor Longqing hesitated, a figure suddenly flashed in from the window, and he stabbed Emperor Longqing without saying a word.

Although Emperor Longqing had a good skill when he was young, but the pampering and superiority in these years was less than training, how could he be the opponent of the assassin? Soon he was forced to have nowhere to escape. Seeing this, Long Wenyu wanted to get up to protect Emperor Long Qing, but found that it was too late.

Emperor Longqing was stabbed with a sword in the chest by the assassin, and Long Wenyu was so frightened by this incident that he stayed in place and did not dare to move. He could only watch the sword of Emperor Longqing fall to the ground.

Seeing Long Wenyu's reaction, the assassin hid in his face mask to evoke an arc, seeming to laugh at his timidity.

At this time, the man in black was very keen to hear the voice of someone outside. He took a few steps forward and stuffed the sword in Long Wenyu's hand, and then wiped the blood of Emperor Longqing that was accidentally contaminated by the hand mountain to the dragon. Wen Yu's face. After doing all this, the man in black unknowingly left from the same path.

The door of the main hall was pushed open, and a little eunuch came in from outside. When he saw the situation in front of him clearly, he couldn't help shouting: "Come on, the prince is going to assassinate the emperor! Come on!"

It was this shout that made Long Wenyu regain his senses. "No, it's not me!" After realizing that he was holding a blood-stained sword in his hand, he quickly threw it out, "Don't shout, it's not me!"

But it was too late.

The person standing outside the hall was Long Zhiheng. He originally came to report to Emperor Longqing on the results of the search of the palace. After hearing the cry of the eunuch, he immediately rushed into the hall and saw Long Wenyu standing aside. Lu was desperate, with a few blood stains on her face, and Emperor Longqing fell to the ground.

Long Zhiheng first stepped forward to check on Emperor Longqing’s injuries, first simply stopped the bleeding for him, and kept moving with his hands. On the one hand, he ordered the dazed little eunuch: “Don’t call anymore, call the eunuch first.”

"Oh, oh, the minion will go right away!"

Xiaoma heard that Long Zhiheng was also frightened by the sight in front of her, and ran out immediately after hearing Long Zhiheng's instructions.

"Come here!" After he had dealt with the injuries for Emperor Longqing, Long Zhiheng called two guards over, and then looked at Long Wenyu, "You send the prince back to the east palace, from now on, you must protect the prince. Your Highness, no matter what time, no one is allowed in or out unless the emperor personally orders it!"

"Yes, my son!"

Long Wenyu's whole body was taken forward by the guard as if he were silly. Just when he was about to leave the hall door, he suddenly broke free from the guard's hand and ran in front of Long Zhiheng, begging: "Brother Heng, the father is not Orphans, you must help the orphans to get rid of their grievances!"

Long Zhiheng said: "His Royal Highness, only the emperor can make a decision when he wakes up. You should go back to the east palace with the guards first, and don't take a step out of the east palace when the emperor is not awake!"

Long Wenyu reached out and grabbed Long Zhiheng's sleeve, "I listen to you alone, but you must help him solve his grievances, otherwise he will definitely die!"

Long Zhiheng said: "Your Royal Highness rest assured, the minister will do his best!"

After hearing Long Zhiheng's words, Long Wenyu was a little relieved, and followed the guards without any resistance. When I walked to the ordinary, I suddenly heard Long Zhiheng say from behind: "What happened tonight, I don't want to hear anyone discuss it anywhere!"

Only then did Long Wenyu react. Long Zhiheng was to protect him and prevent anyone from leaking out tonight's affairs, otherwise his position as prince would not be guaranteed.

The ministers who came to the upper court on the second day did not see Emperor Longqing's face. They only heard Li Si say that Emperor Longqing had a sudden illness last night, and the imperial doctor said that he needed to rest, so he cancelled the early court on this day.

Just when the former minister thought it was unusual, all the concubines in the harem were in the Queen’s Kunning Palace. They said they were here to please peace, but in fact they wanted to see if they could stick out a little bit from the Queen’s mouth. Useful news.

Last night, Long Zhiheng sent someone to send Long Wenyu back to the East Palace and personally came to the middle palace to inform the queen of the ins and outs, and the queen had to go to the Qing Palace to meet after knowing about the son and Meng Cairen's affairs. Emperor Long Qing was rejected by Emperor Long Qing, who knew that something like that would be discovered later.

"How's the emperor?" The queen deserves to have seen strong winds and waves

People, at this critical juncture, not only did not panic like ordinary people, but first cared about Emperor Long Qing's injury, because this was a dead end, and only when Emperor Long Qing woke up Long Wenyu could he completely clear the suspicion.

"The emperor's injury was too serious, and poison was smeared on the arrow. Although the imperial physician has prescribed the medicine to prevent the delay of the poison, it will not last long."

The queen's hand squeezed unconsciously, "Is there a way to detoxify?"

"This poison is not very toxic, but the emperor's dragon body is too bad, and the medicine should not be too strong, so it can only be restored slowly."

"When will the emperor wake up?" the queen asked eagerly. Although she didn't have much discipline for Long Wenyu, she still cared about this son, after all, he was her support in her later years.

Long Zhiheng said: "The imperial doctor said that it was half a month short, so during this period of time, the queen should be asked to control the harem and keep the news of the emperor's serious injury."

The queen sat on the chair with her eyes looking at the void, and after a while, she returned to her mind and said to Long Zhiheng: "Okay, I understand it, but the front is over there..."

"In the case of the previous dynasty, we can only temporarily stop going to the dynasty on the grounds that the emperor is ill. At the same time, we have to catch the real assassin. Otherwise, the longer the time is, the more thorough the evidence will be destroyed!"

Although Long Zhiheng's plan was very good, since this matter was carefully designed by someone, how could that person let the matter go as he planned? So within a few days, Emperor Longqing was assassinated, and rumors that the murderer was His Royal Highness Prince Daijin spread everywhere.

It is precisely because of hearing these rumors more or less that many ministers have repeatedly asked to see the emperor. Among them, the Hubu Shangshu and the Hubu minister are the most sincere, and their loyalty is shown at the gate of the palace every day.

Zhuge Linlang also stood at the gate of the imperial palace. She sneered at the acting ministers. Although she had probably pieced together the truth from the rumors, all of this needed to be confirmed after seeing Emperor Longqing. .

"The empress has an order. The emperor is weak. It is not suitable to meet the adults. Please come back!" Li Si was sent out by Emperor Longqing on the night of the incident. When he returned, Emperor Longqing had fallen into a coma. Anxious, I can only sing the play with the queen.
