It is difficult to understand Li Yan's words, but as long as you think about it carefully, you can understand the cause and effect of this matter.

This assassination was indeed planned by Li Yan, or the Marquis of Pingnan. No matter how Li Yan argued about this matter, no matter whether there was any evidence or not, everyone would know it in the end.

So the investigation process of this matter is not important, what is important is how the emperor will deal with this matter.

Or, what is the situation of the emperor now?

After returning from Beishan, Emperor Chengde never revealed any news, and all the assassins were dead, so even Li Yan, who was the initiator, didn't know what the situation was with Emperor Chengde.

Just like what Li Yan said.

If Emperor Chengde was only slightly injured, the court would completely turn against the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion soon.

On the contrary, if Emperor Chengde is seriously injured and dying, or even dead, then the court will face a major chaos next time. At this time, the court will not turn against the Marquis of Pingnan. In order to appease the Marquis of Pingnan, Li Yan, the person involved, will not have anything to do, and will be safely released from the Ministry of Justice.

This is the reason why those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be marquis.

Sometimes, if you do evil things, you may not be punished, as long as you are evil enough.

Li Yan was taken away by the third prince very barely, and he was not panicked at all.

This Minister of War has been with the Southern Xinjiang Army for so many years, and his life and death have long been indifferent. What’s more, unlike Li Shen’s family who are in the capital, Li Yan’s family is in the southern Xinjiang. No matter what he encounters in the capital, his family can always be protected.

In this confrontation in front of the Marquis of Pingnan, the third prince Ji Chong, who looked aggressive, was as stupid as a child in front of Li Yan.

Li Yan was taken away by the Ministry of Justice, and Mrs. Yu closed the door of the mansion.

……………………………….

Imperial City, Changle Palace.

Emperor Chengde slowly opened his eyes.

He was seriously injured. The assassin's knife that night stabbed him into his body from under his ribs, hurting his lungs. After returning to the capital from Beishan, he had been suffering from fever and coughing up blood, drowsy, and had almost never woke up for too long.

This time he was careless.

In the 19th year of Emperor Chengde ascended the throne, in the early years of his succession, the Dajin looked very prosperous and powerful under Emperor Wu. However, because the late emperor was in power and military force, the Dajin was in trouble with internal and external affairs. Not to mention the economic and livelihood of the inner world was almost on the verge of collapse, Li Zhijie, the Marquis of Pingnan in the southern border, also had a tendency to cede land and become king.

At that time, Emperor Chengde was unable to look south and could only bury his head and slowly recover his vitality.

Now nineteen years have passed, and the Great Jin Dynasty is becoming more and more prosperous in the hands of Emperor Chengde. The holes left by Emperor Wu were also repaired by Emperor Chengde one by one. If this continues, the court can start to recover southern Xinjiang in up to five years.

Under this circumstance, Emperor Chengde expanded.

He thought he had already controlled all the situation, so he began to rectify the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion. Li Xin was the first part, and Li Chun and Li Ji were the second step...

In the heart of Emperor Chengde, as long as he cuts his flesh step by step, the Pingnan Marquis Mansion will not resist.

He underestimated the Pingnan Marquis Mansion.

That's why this assassination was beyond the expectations of Emperor Chengde, so he was indeed stabbed by the assassin.

After two or three days of hard work in the hospital bed, Emperor Chengde finally barely woke up.

His face was as pale as paper, and he was lying on the bed and unable to move. His lips moved, but he could not speak.

This is the biggest failure he has encountered in the past 19 years.

Chen Ju served Emperor Chengde since he was in the palace. In the blink of an eye, it had been more than 30 years. When he saw Emperor Chengde's appearance, the eldest grandfather's eyes were also a little red.

"Your Majesty, you lie down first, don't move now..."

Emperor Chengde felt sweat on his forehead due to the wound on his ribs. He lay down again, still stammering in his mouth.

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about?"

Chen Ju bent down and put his ears on Emperor Chengde's mouth, trying to hear clearly what the emperor said.

It took a long time to hear what the emperor was saying.

His voice intermittently.

"I... never thought of killing you, you... you actually wanted to kill me..."

This sentence was said to Li Shen, who was thousands of miles away.

Although they are now political enemies, they are really playmates who have played since childhood. Even if Emperor Chengde really wants to attack Nanjiang, he never thought about killing Li Shen.

At most, Li Shen was locked up in the capital.

Of course, the Pingnan Army must be dispersed. Most of the backbone of the Pingnan Army, Li Yan and Cheng Ping, are going to die.

However, Emperor Chengde did not want to kill Li Shen.

However, Li Shen is going to kill him now.

This was something Emperor Chengde did not expect, and for this reason, he did not have much precautions.

He had just woken up and didn't know the situation in the capital at all, but he didn't even have to think about it, and he knew who was the one who assassinated him.

It's more of an intuition.

Chen Ju, who was standing beside him, said with tears: "Your Majesty, that man's ambition is not worthy of your heart, don't be sad..."

Emperor Chengde closed his eyes and rested for a stick of incense, and barely recovered his energy.

He spoke slowly, his voice low and inaudible.

"Get the medicine."

The eunuch's eyes were red, and he quickly took the medicine bowl from the side and fed Emperor Chengde one by one to drink the soup.

As long as you are willing to take medicine, your injury will heal. If the injury is healed, everything will be cured.

After taking a few sips of medicine, Emperor Chengde closed his eyes and slept for a while. When he opened his eyes again, his face looked a little better.

Chen Ju was just by his side and never left without a single step.

Such personal slaves around the emperor are often more reliable than their own sons, because they do not have that root of right and wrong and will not have too many delusions.

At least for Emperor Chengde, he believed in Chen Ju, and he would definitely be more trusting than trusting any prince.

Emperor Chengde's voice was still low.

"What's the situation in the capital now?"

Chen Ju immediately lowered his head, told the general situation in the capital, and then whispered: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the old slave has ordered the blockade of the news in the palace. Now the court and the people only know that Your Majesty has encountered an assassin, and will never know what the situation is in the palace..."

“You did a great job.”

Emperor Chengde barely opened his eyes and said with some difficulty: "What are you doing now, princes..."

Chen Ju pondered for a moment and lowered her head and said, "Your Highness occasionally comes to the palace to ask about the situation. The third highness is responsible for chasing the assassins. Now he is running around in the capital. The Seventh Prince is the most filial. He guards the door of Changle Palace almost every morning, and only leaves the palace and returns to the mansion at night..."

Emperor Chengde coughed.

"Where is the fourth brother?"

Chen Ju lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "The Fourth Highness is busy running up and down the court and the country, I don't know what he is busy with..."

Emperor Chengde's voice became louder.

"He probably thinks I'm dead!"

Chen Ju quickly knelt on the ground.

"The old slave is frightened and shouldn't have said such words that damage the feelings of the Tian family..."

Emperor Chengde's voice became louder and immediately pulled the wound. He groaned: "Where has the third brother found?"
