Li Yan's words are a little difficult to understand, but as long as you think about it, you can figure out the cause and effect of this matter.

This assassination was indeed planned by Li Yan, or the Pingnan Hou Mansion, no matter how Li Yan quibbled about this matter, whether there was evidence or not, everyone would know it in the end.

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

In other words, what is the current situation of the Son of Heaven?

After returning from Beishan, there was no more news about the Son of Chengde, and those assassins were all dead, so now even Li Yan, who was the initiator, did not know what happened to the Son of Chengde.

Just like Li Yan said.

If the Son of Chengde is only slightly injured, then the imperial court will completely turn against the Pingnan Marquis Mansion in the next few days.

On the contrary, if the Son of Chengde is seriously injured and dying now, or even dead, then the imperial court will usher in a big chaos next, and at this time, the imperial court will not turn against the Pingnanhou Mansion, and even in order to appease the Pingnanhou Mansion, Li Yan, the party, will not have anything to ask for, and will be released from the prison of the Criminal Department safely.

This is the truth of those who steal the hook and those who steal the country.

Sometimes, if you do something evil, you will not necessarily be punished, as long as you are evil enough.

Li Yan was taken away by the third prince very shamefully, and he didn't panic at all.

More importantly, unlike Li Shen's family in the capital, Li Yan's family is in southern Xinjiang, no matter what happens to him in the capital, his family can always be preserved.

In this confrontation in front of the Pingnan Hou Mansion, the three princes Ji Chong, who looked aggressive, were as stupid as a child in front of Li Yan.

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

………………

Imperial City, Changle Palace.

Chengde Tianzi slowly opened his eyes.

He was seriously wounded, and that night the assassin's knife stabbed him in the ribs and wounded his lungs, and after returning to the capital from Beishan, he had been suffering from a fever and coughing up blood, and he was groggy and barely awake for long.

This time he was careless.

In the nineteenth year of Chengde's ascension, in the early years of his succession, the Great Jin Dynasty was under the hands of Emperor Wu, and it seemed that the scenery was incomparable and the strength was extreme, but because the first emperor was reckless, the Great Jin Dynasty was in internal and external difficulties, and the economy and people's livelihood inside were almost on the verge of collapse.

At that time, the emperor of Chengde was powerless to look south, so he could only bury his head and slowly recover his vitality.

Now nineteen years have passed, the Great Jin Dynasty is becoming more and more prosperous in the hands of the Chengde Emperor, and the sores left by Emperor Wu have also been filled by the Chengde Emperor one by one.

In this case, the Chengde Son of Heaven swelled.

He thought that he had controlled all the situation, and he began to rectify the Pingnan Hou Mansion, using Li Xin as the first part, and Li Chun and Li Ji as the second step......

In the heart of the Chengde Emperor, as long as he cut the flesh step by step slowly, the Pingnan Hou Mansion would not resist.

He underestimated the Pingnan Hou Mansion.

That's why there was this assassination, which was unexpected by the Chengde Emperor, so he was indeed stabbed by the assassins.

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

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

This is the biggest failure he has encountered in the 19 years of his reign.

Chen Ju has served the Son of Heaven in Chengde since he was in the palace, and it has been more than 30 years in the blink of an eye.

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

Chengde Tianzi was sweating on his forehead because of the pain of the wound in his ribs, and he lay down again, still muttering something in his mouth.

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about?"

Chen Ju bent down and put his ear to the mouth of the Chengde Emperor, trying to hear what the emperor said.

After a long time, Chen Ju could barely hear what the Son of Heaven was saying.

His voice was choppy.

"I ...... Never thought of killing you, you...... You're going to kill me......"

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

The two of them, although they are political enemies now, are really playmates from childhood to adulthood, even if the Chengde Emperor really wants to attack Southern Xinjiang, he has never thought of killing Li Shen in his heart.

At most, it is just to lock Li Shen in the capital.

Of course, the Pingnan Army will definitely be dispersed, and most of the backbone of the Pingnan Army, Li Yan and Cheng Ping, will also die.

However, the Son of Heaven in Chengde really did not want to kill Li Shen.

However, Li Shen is now going to kill him.

This was something that Chengde Tianzi did not expect, and because of this, he did not have much defense.

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

It's more of a gut feeling.

Chen Ju's eyes were red on the side, and he wept and said: "Your Majesty, that man's wolf ambition is not worth your heart, don't be sad......"

Chengde Tianzi closed his eyes, rested for a pillar of incense, and barely recovered some of his spirits.

He spoke slowly, his voice low and inaudible.

"Fetch the medicine."

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

As long as you are willing to drink medicine, the injury will be healed, and if the injury is healed, everything will be healed.

After drinking a few sips of medicine, Chengde Tianzi closed his eyes and slept for a while, and when he opened his eyes again, his face was already a little better.

Chen Ju stayed by his side and never left half a step.

This kind of personal slave by the side of the Son of Heaven is often more reliable than his own son, because they do not have the root of right and wrong, and they will not have too many wishful thoughts.

At least for the Chengde Emperor, Thake's belief in Chen Ju is definitely better than trusting any prince.

Chengde's voice was still low.

"What is the situation in the capital now?"

Chen Ju immediately lowered his head, told the general situation in the capital, and then said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the old slave has ordered the news in the palace to be blocked, and now the government and the opposition only know that Your Majesty has been assassinated, and they will never know what the situation is in the palace......"

"You're doing a great job."

The Son of Chengde reluctantly opened his eyes, and said with some difficulty: "Several princes, what are you doing now......

Chen Ju pondered for a moment, bowed his head and said: "Your Highness occasionally comes to the palace to inquire about the situation, the Third Highness is responsible for tracking down the assassins, and now he is busy in the capital, the Seven Princes are the most filial, and they are guarding the gate of Changle Palace almost every morning, and only go out of the palace and return to the house at night......"

Chengde Tianzi coughed.

"Where's the fourth?"

Chen Ju lowered his head and said with a wry smile: "The Fourth Highness is busy up and down the government and the opposition, I don't know what I'm busy with......

Chengde Tianzi's voice was a little louder.

"He probably thinks I'm dead!"

Chen Ju hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"The old slave is afraid, he shouldn't say such things that hurt the feelings of the heavenly family......"

Chengde Tianzi's voice was a little louder, and he suddenly pulled the wound, and he snorted: "Where did the third child find out?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness has already found out...... Li Yan's head. ”
