Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

The scene was silent for a while.

Countless eyes all looked at the emperor in unison, waiting for an answer.

It was originally to investigate the injury of the Seventh Prince, but unexpectedly implicated the Fifth Prince and King An, and now it was exposed by Li Chen that Sun Taiwei secretly purchased black market weapons...

There are no good people on either side.

Neither side can be trusted.

The darkness in the emperor's eyes became more intense, and he brushed his fingertips over the armrest, without making a decision for a long time.

First solve the matter of the seventh prince's injury, but the fifth prince and Li Chen explained the matter of the medicine powder and the note reasonably, which made it difficult for him to convict him.

If Sun Taiwei's smuggling of weapons is resolved first, Li Chen will be able to escape unscathed.

No matter which matter is resolved first, it cannot be as I wish.

The emperor closed his eyes, still weighing in his heart.

In this silence.

"emperor--"

Concubine Degui's voice came from afar.

Concubine De Gui, who usually wears heavy makeup and luxurious clothes, is now wearing only a simple plain skirt, walking slowly towards the emperor with the arm of the close-fitting maid Baozhu.

When Li Jie looked back, his pupils trembled.

Sun Minli turned his head and saw that his sister had no blood on her face and her breathing was unstable, so she couldn't help scolding her in a low voice with red eyes.

"Concubine De Gui is not feeling well, how can I come here..."

"Your Majesty! Jie'er is really innocent!"

Concubine Degui seemed unable to walk in front of the emperor, and immediately knelt down in the arena, her spine was already stretched, she gasped and said, "Jie'er may not be able to speak in the future! She even fell off the horse and hurt her leg." , your life hangs by a thread!"

The emperor's face remained unchanged: "King An and the fifth prince can explain the note and the poisonous powder, but your Sun family, how can you explain the smuggling of weapons?"

"King An and the Fifth Prince, how can they explain the matter of the note and the poisonous powder clearly! Your Majesty, Jie'er was injured so badly, this matter must not be self-directed and acted... Then, besides the Fifth Prince and Prince An, who else will be involved?" Who would regard Jie'er as a thorn in their side! Your Majesty knows that the Fifth Prince and Brother Jie'er have been at odds for a long time, how can you conclude that this matter has nothing to do with Prince An's Fifth Prince just by listening to a few words!"

"..."

The emperor only felt more headache.

Xia Bai'an raised his eyebrows slightly, the emperor did not pay much attention to the prince, but he did care about friendship, that's why he was always entangled in the rhetoric of several people.

Sure enough, the emperor believed it a little more this time.

"What Concubine Degui said is also good."

"Father! Concubine Degui is just reasoning without any actual evidence. Could it be possible to convict my minister and His Highness King An just by guessing? On the contrary, the matter of Taiwei Sun smuggling weapons is already a certainty." things."

"How can Sun Taiwei's smuggling of weapons be investigated in one day? But your fifth prince and King An wrote letters privately, with all kinds of official and private matters, and they are all behind the emperor's back. Are you really open-minded in your heart?"

"you!"

Li Cong was dumbfounded for a moment. If he said this, the emperor would feel guilty.

But if you don't say those words back, it seems that something is missing in your heart, and you feel depressed and panicked.

Hearing this, the emperor hesitated again, seeing Concubine De Gui's half-dead look, he ordered: "Concubine De Gui is not feeling well, bring me here to talk."

"Yes."

Baozhu nodded, and hurriedly called the two people who were sent temporarily behind her to come over, and helped Concubine De Gui step forward.

Concubine Degui came close to the emperor, her breath was still unstable, and she couldn't even leave the support of several attendants around her, she continued: "Your Majesty, Jie'er has been seriously injured, and this concubine really doesn't want to see Jie'er being involved in this incident." Among the matters, regarding elder brother's matter, please the emperor deal with it in accordance with the law, but regarding Jie'er's matter, the concubine, as a mother, must seek justice for Jie'er, and please the emperor distinguish between public and private, and settle the matter of Jie'er's injury. The investigation is clear. It's okay to miss any details!"

This is true.

Xia Bai'an thought so in his heart, and then he heard Li Wang's voice also sounded.

"Your Majesty, what Degui Concubine Empress said is correct. Naturally, the matter must be investigated one by one, and the culprit must not be let go."

"Please, Your Majesty, pay attention."

The courtiers of the six ministries also consoled him one after another.

Only Yun Hanyi was still sitting in his seat, staring at the people next to Concubine Degui, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Yun Xue saw that the situation on the field was imminent, and all the families came out one after another for the emperor to investigate, but her father remained motionless, so she quickly tugged Yun Hanyi's sleeve.

"Daddy, shouldn't we also go out to show our loyalty?"

"Wait, Xue'er, look at the attendant next to Concubine Degui, isn't it..."

Yun Hanyi squinted and couldn't see clearly.

But when Yun Xue looked after him, suddenly, another guard thrust the knife into the man's hand.

In just a split second, the guard stabbed a long knife into the emperor's waist under the watchful eyes of everyone!

"Escort—"

The eunuch's voice pierced the sky.

The assassin who handed the knife did not wait for the outside guards to come, he had already cut his own neck, and fell to the ground on the spot, blood sprayed the surrounding people, and many people screamed.

Concubine Degui stared blankly at the attendant beside her, still holding the blood-stained blade in her hand!

How is this going!

Before Concubine De Gui could react, several imperial guards had already pinned the man to the ground.

Xia Bai'an's pupils shrank.

This assassin didn't kill the emperor at all!And in front of so many people, this attendant really dared to do it!

Behind her, Nanny Mingxin yelled: "Doctor Xia, hurry over and have a look!"

"Yes!"

Xia Bai'an quickly pushed down the screen, pushed away the imperial guards who were holding down the assassin, half-kneeled in front of the emperor, and saw that he was still tightly clutching his wound, which was bleeding continuously.

"Your Majesty! Please don't press the wound anymore, and don't draw the knife, leave the matter to the minister to solve!"

Xia Bai'an shouted anxiously.

I still don't know where the blade pierced and whether it hurt the internal organs, if I pull it out rashly, I'm afraid something will happen!

She hurriedly covered her wound, ignoring the noise around her.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager came out in a hurry: "Seal the entrance and exit! Don't let anyone out, and everyone is not allowed to leave their seats. People except the imperial guards move around randomly, be decisive!"

As soon as this remark came out, Li Wang and the prime minister who were about to come forward all retreated to their positions.

However, Mo Che crossed the table, stepped forward as an imperial guard, and mobilized several hands to hold the thorn hostage.

In fact, he just came to check on Xia Bai'an's situation.

Xia Baian caught a glimpse of Mo Che approaching from the corner of his eye, ignored him, and called Tao Ji: "Your Majesty, it is not appropriate to move for the time being. This blade should not have pierced into the internal organs. Can Imperial Physician Tao bring the medicine box and the hemostasis, and find another one to pull it out?" The knife is fast and the ruthless people come over."

"Hold on."

Tao Ji nodded, and naturally went back to look for the best hemostatic medicine and gauze.

The emperor's face turned pale from the pain, and he was about to push Xia Bai'an away, but Xia Bai'an pressed the wound tightly, making it painful: "If there is more than one assassin, I will stay here..."

As soon as the voice fell, the sound of piercing the sky sounded.

A hidden arrow came straight to the emperor's forehead.
