Murong Kai quietly watched the two "assassins" in front of him kneeling on the ground, kowtowing like crazy, begging him for mercy.
"Your lives have never been in my hands. How can I spare your lives?" After a long time, when the two assassins were filled with despair, Murong Kai asked softly.
The two assassins looked at Murong Kai in a daze and had to admit that he was right. They assassinated the prince and princess on the orders of their superiors. Now that they were captured, their survival depended on their superiors' wishes. It was really useless for them to cry to a eunuch here.
"Now that you two have discussed it, just go." After saying that, Murong Kai raised his hand and signaled the eunuch behind him to take them out.
The assassin left, and there was silence and peace in Canyang Palace. Murong Kai entered A'man's bedroom, and saw her sleeping soundly holding Xuan'er. A smile inevitably appeared on his face. It was really good to be able to stay by his side and protect him from wind and rain.
Different from the peace and tranquility of Canyang Palace, at this moment, the palace, the Beijing Guard Camp, and General Anguo's Mansion were all quite uneasy.
After the two assassins made their choices and one was taken out of the palace, Su Jing in the imperial study received the news.
With a bang, he threw the cup in his hand at the person who came to report. After a long time, he calmed down his anger and asked in a low voice: "Does Liu Bingtian of the Beijing Guard Camp know about this matter?"
"General Liu and General Anguo have a good personal relationship. It is possible that he could lend him some soldiers and disguise them as assassins. I just don't know if General Liu knows that the disguised assassins are going to kill the prince and princess."
Su Jing just sneered twice when he heard this. The elite troops that they had raised with money and food had actually become Liu Bingtian's private army. For the sake of their friendship, they turned into bandits and caused trouble everywhere.
"Keep watching this."
The guard received the order and was about to leave when Su Jing spoke again, "Spread some rumors and say that I feel sorry for the princess and the prince who have been wronged. I will never let this matter go."
"Your Majesty, you are doing this..."
"Do you think they are only targeting Ah Man? They are slapping me in the face. I don't let them know how powerful I am. Do they really think I let them leave with their noses pinched?"
When Su Jing spoke, his expression was cold and stern. On his thin face, his eyes were like an eagle...
"Keep a close eye on them. If they make any move again, hold them down first." Su Jing said hatefully. Obviously, Liu Bingtian, General An Guo and others had inadvertently touched his bottom line and soft spot. He could tolerate them and indulge them, but that didn't mean they could attack his daughter without restraint.
"Your Majesty, I will go right away. Please be patient." The guard turned and left. In the imperial study room which returned to silence, Su Jing's eyes were fierce and bloodthirsty. It took a long time before he regained his composure.
At this moment, there was silence in the tent of General Liu Bingtian of the Beijing Guard Camp. The guard who came to deliver the message knelt on the ground tremblingly and said, "General, the princess said that this time, if our Beijing Guard Camp cannot give her a satisfactory answer, then the Beijing Guard Camp will be the culprit she wants."
Liu Bingtian also had a serious look on his face at this time. He had not expected that just helping a friend would put his life in danger.
Assassinating the prince and princess, as long as the emperor investigates, they will be doomed...
"General, our brothers in the Beijing Guard Camp have been wronged this time. They were just pretending, but dozens of them died. Now they are being targeted by the princess." The deputy general standing behind Liu Bingtian was full of resentment in his words. Originally, when General An Guo came and said he wanted to borrow dozens of people, he was against it, but Liu Bingtian was the one who made the decision in the Beijing Guard Camp.
For the sake of friendship, he lent out the people from the Beijing Guard Camp. Now, not only was he unable to get them back, but he was also getting himself into trouble.
"Now is not the time to pursue responsibility. We should think about how to resolve the current crisis." Liu Bingtian yelled angrily at the deputy general. If he had known this would happen, he would not have borrowed troops. But it is too late to regret now.
