The accompanying officials came over after hearing the news and expressed their opinions on the waist badge.

Your Majesty, the prince is fighting to the death and fighting back!

Yes, Your Majesty, the prince has a cruel heart.

Your Majesty, this is a heinous crime and cannot be forgiven...

Everyone was criticizing the prince.

The emperor's anger grew stronger and his face was as black as ink.

Drive back to the palace immediately. I will interrogate the prince overnight. The emperor said angrily.

Report to the Emperor. Su Yi's clear and clear voice sounded like pearls falling to the ground.

Your Majesty, please let Weichen say a word. Su Yi's face was solemn and his eyes were calm.

The emperor said majestically: Say...

Reporting to your Majesty, I think there is something fishy about this matter.

Say. The emperor said solemnly.

Su Yi weighed the waist card in his hand and said: Your Majesty, assassinating the emperor is a heinous crime. If it was really the prince who instigated it, how could the prince be stupid enough to let the assassin carry the waist card with him? What if he failed? Wouldn't he be digging his own grave? ?”

Tsk... The emperor gasped and slowly calmed down.

Zhao Qixuan said: I have only heard that assassins have tattoos on their bodies, but I have never heard of assassins wearing belt tags. If you wear such a heavy belt tag, there is a high possibility that it will be lost during a fight!

But the prince cannot escape suspicion. Now that the prince is under house arrest, it is inevitable that he will hold a grudge against the emperor. A minister said.

Su Yi said: What if someone is setting the blame? If you kill the prince by mistake, but let the person who really planned the evil go unpunished, isn't that playing into that person's hands? Now that the guard commander has led people to chase the assassin, why not wait a while?

Exactly, if the man behind the scenes is not found out, it will be dangerous if he is someone close to and appreciated by the emperor. Zhao Qixuan agreed.

Wei Chen is not trying to identify anyone for anyone, but everything is still based on evidence, and the real murderer will be found out. Su Yidao.

After the emperor calmed down, his thoughts became clearer. After hearing what Su Yi and Zhao Qixuan said, he felt that the matter was a bit suspicious.

Your Majesty, the assassins come here with the determination to die. They would rather kill themselves than be captured alive. If the assassin dies and his belt card cannot be used as evidence, won't it become an open case? A minister asked. question.

The emperor's brows became tighter and tighter, and he was extremely troubled.

The prince had a motive to assassinate him, and he had already emotionally determined that it was the prince who did it. However, what Zhao Qixuan said was right. If the person harboring evil intentions was someone he was close to and admired, it would be like a poisonous snake lurking. Around him, someone might come out and bite him at any time, which makes people shudder just thinking about it.

Thinking of this, the emperor had some concerns in his mind.

According to what Su Qing said, the matter is so big that I cannot easily determine who has treasonous intentions.

Su Yi and Zhao Qixuan both secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This plan was indeed dangerous, and if one failed, it would be self-defeating.

Concubine Shu was very disappointed. There was already evidence, but the prince could not be convicted. As soon as the prince died, the throne would belong to her son.

Disappointment is disappointment, but it does not mean that there is no hope. Concubine Shu is looking forward to the good news that the commander of the guards can bring back.

After everyone dispersed, the emperor asked Eunuch Wei to take Su Yi and Zhao Qixuan to the side hall for treatment.

Fortunately, the injury was only on the shoulder and did not touch the aorta, so it was not life-threatening. But after all, it was shot through by a sharp arrow, so it was not considered a minor injury.

The imperial doctor treated Zhao Qixuan's wound, bandaged it, prescribed medicine, and gave some instructions before going to the emperor to reply.

Su Yi looked at the straps on Zhao Qixuan's shoulders with a gloomy look.

Zhao Qixuan smiled and consoled him: It's okay, it's okay. I'm thick-skinned and thick-skinned. It doesn't matter. I'll be fine in a few days.

Su Yi glanced at the curtain out of the corner of his eye and blamed himself: It's because my martial arts skills are lax and I failed to protect the emperor and you.

Zhao Qixuan understood: Oh, we are businessmen now, and we don't usually fight and kill. It's okay. Who would still laugh and laugh every day? Besides, no one would have thought of such a thing as an assassination! Don't blame yourself, The Emperor didn’t blame you, and I won’t blame you either.”

Su Yi said solemnly: If I know who did it, I can't spare him.

Zhao Qixuan chuckled and said: That's right, at least we have to dig a few holes back.

Su Yi clicked his tongue, frowned and said: You have lost so much blood, just lie down and rest, and stop talking.

Oh, then you stay here with me... Zhao Qixuan said coquettishly.

The people behind the curtain retreated silently.

At dawn, the commander of the guards came back and secretly reported something to the emperor. The emperor immediately announced that he would return to the palace.

Zhao Qixuan also went home to recuperate because he was injured.

Ye Jiayao only heard from someone who came to the dessert house the next afternoon that uncle Shu Guo's residence was surrounded by imperial guards early this morning. He didn't know what was going on.

He also said that the emperor was going to the palace to recuperate for a while, but he returned to the palace in a hurry.

Ye Jiayao knew clearly. It seemed that Zhao Qixuan's actions were working and the trouble was moving eastward. Even if there was no real evidence of the Shu family's rebellion, the emperor would not believe Concubine Shu and Prince Yu easily anymore if he had this doubt in his heart.

She just didn't know what the situation was at that time. Ye Jiayao wanted to know, but she had to endure it and wait for the situation to unfold.

After waiting for another day, I heard that the prince had been released and returned to his residence to reflect, while Concubine Shu was grounded and the queen returned to the Phoenix Seal. Although Prince Yu was not punished or anything, his mother and concubine were punished, and his life was not easy.

Ye Jiayao was overjoyed and took the cakes to the Yongning Marquis Mansion, only to find out that Zhao Qixuan was injured.

Mrs. Yongning Hou knew that Ye Jiayao had an unusual friendship with her son, so she pulled her in and said a few words, and then asked someone to take her to see Zhao Qixuan.

Zhao Qixuan was leaning on the soft couch and chewing an apple. It was crunchy and he seemed to have a good appetite.

I thought you were too injured to get up, but I didn't expect you to be in good spirits! Ye Jiayao walked over with a smile.

Zhao Qixuan motioned to Xiao Shao to go out and watch to make sure it was safe, then he groaned: What? You want to see me half dead!

The prince's crisis was resolved, Zhao Qixuan was not seriously injured, and everything was going well. Ye Jiayao was in a good mood, but for the sake of caution, Ye Jiayao kept her voice low and said with an angry smile: How can I? I am I'm happy, here are the pastries from the dessert house as a reward for you.

Zhao Qixuan had difficulty with one hand, so he threw away the half-eaten apple, went to pick up the food box, opened it and looked at the dazzling array of pastries inside, and said with a smile: It's not bad, but this little reward is not enough, don't forget , you said you wanted to celebrate my day off work, but this time I worked hard and was bleeding, and I am trapped at home and can’t see Susu. After saying this, the smiling face turned into a crying face.

Ye Jiayao couldn't help laughing: Then you should heal your injury quickly. I will never break my promise.

Zhao Qixuan then turned his smile and ate the pastry happily.

Su Su and I have made a profit this time. We have made great achievements in rescuing the enemy and were rewarded a lot. However, what I value most is that the emperor asked me to take care of border trade affairs. Su Su was also rewarded with a fourth-grade official rank. Just a name, no need to work, and a free salary.

You take the risk, and everyone gets the benefits. You all deserved the credit this time. Ye Jiayao said sincerely.

Zhao Qixuan's eyes rolled darkly, and he chuckled: The big hero behind this is Chunyu from your family. He came up with the idea. Xiao Jing couldn't find the right person to execute it for a while. It happened that Su Su and I I’m back and caught up.”

Really? Ye Jiayao remained calm, knowing that Chunyu would have some arrangements.

Of course, it happened that Concubine Shu suggested that the emperor go to the Nanshan Palace. You don't know that when she was assassinated, Concubine Shu was so frightened that she fell to the ground. The emperor didn't even care. It was me who rushed forward to block the arrow for the emperor. In this way , the emperor had a grudge against her, and then we deliberately left the East Palace's waist card to make the emperor suspicious of the prince first. After letting the assassin hide in Shu Guojiu's house, the guard commander saw the assassin go in with his own eyes, and the Shu family was covered in blood. Even the soles of the feet have mouths and I can’t explain it.”

Ye Jiayao thought to herself: This strategy of hacking oneself first and then hacking others is very clever. It increases credibility and can also clear the prince of suspicion and classify the prince as a victim.

Zhao Qixuan, with his mouth full of cakes, said vaguely: The assassin was not caught, so this assassination incident became an open case. The emperor can only find a few scapegoats to vent his anger, but he cannot kill both his sons.

Although the emperor still has doubts about the prince, he is definitely more doubtful about Prince Yu now. The next step will be to gradually weaken Prince Yu's power. Hey... Yaoyao, you have many ideas. Find a way to add insult to injury and take advantage of the victory. ! Now is a good opportunity!”

Ye Jiayao glared at him: Don't ask me about this kind of thing, I only know how to do business and nothing else.

She didn't want others to know that she even came up with the idea of ​​the assassination. However, she felt that it was not a good idea to add insult to injury now. The emperor was suspicious of both princes, so he would definitely maintain a balance and let them check each other. The emperor would not bet on the prince or Prince Yu, but would train another one. As for the prince, it will take time.

The fourth prince is very mediocre and has poor abilities in all aspects. The sixth prince is said to be smart, but his mother-in-law has a low status and is just a concubine. It is difficult to convince the public. Therefore, maintaining the status quo is a good strategy for the emperor. The prince was hit this time and his power was greatly weakened. He also needed to recuperate and regroup.

Zhao Qixuan said: Forget it, I will discuss it with Su Su later.

Ye Jiayao smiled and said angrily: You'd better rest in peace and recuperate first! Don't you want to see Su Su earlier?

Zhao Qixuan couldn't eat anymore and sighed gloomily: I don't know how Su Su is doing. His father wants to marry him a wife as long as he stays at home for three days. He really wants to break up the couple. Immortal!

Ye Jiayao was so amused by him that she was still a mandarin duck! Is it okay for mandarin ducks to have one female and one male? I'm really curious, who will be the attacker, Zhao Qixuan or Su Yi? Who will be the recipient?
