Killing a student would cause more harm to oneself than assassinating the King of Wei, and it would be easier to stir up unrest in the entire Jinling.
He was silent for a while, and then said: "Then, what about them now?"
Jin Yiwei said: "After what happened just now, my subordinates immediately came back to report to the emperor. Now, His Royal Highness King Wei and Commander Li are still in the academy."
"..."
Zhu Feng's face darkened slightly.
Based on his beastly intuition accumulated through years of fighting, he felt that what happened tonight would not end so easily.
In other words, the opponent did not give up so easily.
However, he has already returned, so he doesn't know what the situation in the academy is like.
After thinking about it, he asked again, "Has the assassin been caught?"
Jin Yiwei lowered his head, and said: "Please forgive me, the emperor, because the emperor told me that the humble ministers and others cannot enter the academy to scare the snakes, so the subordinates are all monitoring the outside of the academy, and failed to catch the assassin."
"In other words, the person who assassinated was someone from the Academy?"
"This, it should be."
"good."
Zhu Feng waved his hand: "Go down, continue to monitor closely, don't let go of the slightest bit, if there is any movement in the academy, report it immediately."
"yes."
After the man took the order, he immediately turned around and left, and soon, his back disappeared into the night.
Zhu Feng stood at the door for a while, then turned and returned to the room.
There was still a bit of the coldness of the night wind on his body, and as soon as he lay down on the bed, Nan Yan, who had been sleeping inside, snuggled up and slipped into his arms.
Zhu Feng looked down, her eyes were shining in the darkness.
"Did I wake you up?"
"No, my concubine has been sleeping lightly tonight."
"What's wrong?"
"My concubine is worried about the king of Wei. Was the emperor just listening to the news of his servant's return?"
"Um."
"What's wrong?"
"As you said, they were indeed attacked, but the target of the assassination was not King Wei, but that student."
Nan Yan's breathing became heavy. She was half lying on Zhu Feng's chest. At this moment, she immediately stood up and looked at Zhu Feng nervously: "Then King Wei—"
"You can rest assured that Li is not hurt."
"Where's the assassin?"
"The Jin Yiwei outside the academy failed to catch the assassin, so the assassin should be inside the academy."
"Isn't that dangerous?"
Zhu Feng raised his head and looked at her with a smile: "Didn't you already speculate about this matter, why are you still so surprised?"
Nan Yan bit her lower lip with a worried look on her face.
It is one thing to speculate, but quite another to actually face it.
Although Li Bushang seems to be a very reliable man, but after all, it is someone else's territory, surrounded by unknown dangers, he wants to protect Zhu Chengxuan, but also protects a wounded person, can he really cover everything
There is also King Wei, he has a gentle temperament, in such a crisis-ridden place, can he really retreat unscathed
Nan Yan said worriedly: "Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"
"I?"
"Um."
"I plan," he said, holding her tighter with one hand, "sleep."
"… Well?"
Nan Yan was stunned, her body was tightly held in his arms, she was still a little confused, she looked at Zhu Feng in surprise: "Your Majesty? King Wei—"
As if knowing what she was going to say, Zhu Feng immediately interrupted her: "Wei Wang broke through this test by himself, and he has to pass it by himself."
"But-"
"do not worry."
Zhu Feng said, lowered his head, rubbed his chin lightly on her forehead, and said slowly: "If everything just happened in the academy, then I will never know who is behind the scenes."
"...!"
Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat, and she said, "The emperor wants to find out who is behind the scenes?"
Zhu Feng said indifferently: "What is my identity, how could I compete with a young master and minor in the academy?"
"..."
Hearing his arrogant words, Nan Yan was both angry and funny.
But in my heart, I couldn't help but feel heavy.
Zhu Feng's words are also correct.
Maybe, before the assassination happened tonight, she still suspected that it was just a misunderstanding. As long as the student woke up and proved King Wei's innocence, the incident would pass safely.
However, the assassination incident proved that things were not that simple.
With Jian Ruocheng's heart, it is impossible for him to kill his own students to frame Zhu Feng, so there must be someone else behind him manipulating everything, so Zhujian Academy is just a superficial means for them to manipulate public opinion.
Deeper, still behind.
Therefore, Zhu Chengxuan and Li Bushang had to endure this for a while before they could force out the real mastermind behind the scenes.
She also wants to know who it is!

Although the night is long, time will always pass, and the darkness of the night will always be dispelled by the light bit by bit.
The room that was so silent that it was hard to breathe finally ushered in the light.
Zhu Chengxuan was leaning back in the chair, his head was dozing off like a chicken pecking at rice bit by bit. The sunlight came in through the gap in the window and shone on his face, bringing a burst of heat and itchy Feel.
He stretched out his hand and scratched his cheek, muttering: "Well, don't move."
After saying this, he suddenly seemed to feel something.
Eyes open.
"Why!"
Seeing that the room was brightly lit, he was startled immediately, jumped up from the chair in a hurry, leaned over the bed and took a look—
Although the wounded patient on the bed was still unconscious, no accident happened, nor did he die.
Very good!
He breathed a sigh of relief and came back to his senses, only to see the two students sitting on the other side who were guarding them, Su Erjun and Xie Weisheng, they were both still awake, looking at him with their eyes open.
Zhu Chengxuan broke out in a cold sweat.
Last night, the whole night, the four of them faced each other in silence, no one spoke or moved.
Originally, he thought that these two people would definitely do something to him, but in the end, nothing happened at all.
However, because of such excessive pressure, I couldn't fall asleep all night. Only when it was about to dawn, I couldn't hold it anymore and took a nap, which almost scared me.
He turned his head to look at Li Bushang again.
Li Bushang still closed his eyes, leaning against the wall with his arms folded.
In this way, it seems - fell asleep too
However, he was tired enough for the past two days, and he tossed until midnight last night, so it was only natural for him to fall asleep.
Just as Zhu Chengxuan was thinking this way, he suddenly saw Li Bushang open his eyes and look towards the door.
"somebody is coming!"
Zhu Chengxuan was taken aback by him: "Huh?"
