"My son knows that my father has withstood a lot of pressure in the court to protect my son. But my son is innocent, so he is naturally not afraid."

Chengjue saw Emperor Yinde's troubled eyes and remembered what his mother said that day, he is your father, and he is also an emperor.

Emperor Yinde was very pleased that Chengjue could understand him and did not want to create a rift with Chengjue when Chengjue first entered the court.

Now it seems that Cheng Jue is so sensible because of the Queen's careful teaching.

"Jue'er, stay here and have dinner with your father. I'll ask the imperial kitchen to cook more of your favorite meals."

"Thank you, father, but..." Chengjue lowered his head, looking at that little expression, which seemed to be very complicated.

Emperor Yinde smiled faintly, as if he had guessed what was going on, "Did your mother ask you to go back for dinner?"

"It's not the queen, it's the great aunt who asked me to have dinner at the house." Chengjue said, raising his eyes to look at Emperor Yinde, "Father, can I have dinner with you tomorrow night?"

"It turns out to be your great-aunt, then go quickly." Emperor Yinde did not blame Chengjue. When he was as old as Chengjue, he often went to the eldest princess's mansion to have meals.

"Send hello to your great-aunt on behalf of my father." After Emperor Yinde's instructions, he asked Li Fuhai to get two ginseng for the eldest princess from the private treasury, and asked Chengjue to bring them there.

After Chengjue left the palace, Emperor Yinde did not pass on the meal, but went directly to Fengyi Palace.

Fengyi Palace was quite lively today. Concubine Hui Shu and her two children came over for dinner. When Luan Jia arrived, dinner had just been served.

During the dinner, Cheng Rui kept telling interesting things that happened in the study room in the past few days. He couldn't stop talking, making the adults very happy.

After everyone finished their dinner, Concubine Hui Shu saw that Emperor Yin De had no intention of leaving, so she wanted to leave directly with Yi An and Cheng Yuan.

"Your Majesty, the Queen..." Xiao Nanzi ran in in a panic and fell to the ground.

Before Li Fuhai could say his words of reprimand, he heard Xiao Nanzi continue to say, "His Royal Highness the Second Prince and Young Master Shangguan were assassinated."

With a bang, Su Qingyao smashed the tea cup to the ground, and her eyes instantly turned red.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Yinde hurried over and hugged her body, "How are Jue'er and Shixu?"

"Both young masters were injured and are now at the eldest princess's residence."

Emperor Yinde and Su Qingyao had no time to care about anything else, so they could only rush to the eldest princess's mansion in a carriage.

Yunshu and Chengrui must have wanted to follow them, but they were both grabbed by Concubine Hui Shu.

Yi'an was also extremely worried, but when he saw this, he couldn't help but stop.

Li Fuhai quickly drove the carriage directly out of the palace and ran to the eldest princess' mansion.

On the carriage, Queen Su Qingyao was nestled in Emperor Yin De's arms, her body shaking constantly.

She knew that this was Chengjue's plan, but she had no way to tell herself not to worry. She just hoped that Chengjue could survive this disaster unharmed.

Emperor Yin De hugged Su Qingyao very tightly, always wanting to comfort Su Qingyao that everything would be fine, but he was also worried, what if Chengjue really had something...

In Emperor Yin De's mind, many things happened when Cheng Jue was a child. The child who had been the most like him since childhood still suffered in the end.

As a father, he only hopes that his children will be well.

The eldest princess's mansion was in chaos. She originally wanted to invite Chengjue and Shixu over for dinner, but now there are two wounded people. Chengjue was injured on his arm, Shixu was injured on his neck, and both children were bleeding. , but didn’t say a word about the pain.

"Let the imperial doctor stop the bleeding for you first. The imperial doctor will come soon, and then let the imperial doctor take a good look at you, okay?" Seeing Gu Feier holding Shi Xu, the eldest princess directly held Cheng Jue in her arms.

The prince-in-law also came to help, pressed Chengjue's arm and said, "Jue'er, if it hurts you, just hold my great-uncle's hand."

"hiss!"

When the government doctor checked, Chengjue couldn't help but scream.

The doctor of the government examined the wounds of Cheng Jue and Shi Xian and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, Princess. It's just a skin injury. Just take care of it."

Just after saying this, Emperor Yinde and Su Qingyao came in. Seeing Chengjue obediently leaning on the eldest princess's shoulder, their hearts dropped halfway.

"Emperor Father, Queen Mother." Chengjue called out in grievance. Su Qingyao felt heartbroken and wanted to step forward and hug the child. Unexpectedly, Emperor Yinde took the lead and held Chengjue in his arms.

"Where else is it hurt?"

Chengjue shook his head, "It's just my arm that hurts."

Doctor Li also came. Upon seeing this, he immediately went over to check Chengjue again, holding a silver needle to see if Chengjue and Shixian were poisoned.

Only after repeated confirmation did he dare to reply, "Your Majesty, Queen, don't worry. Neither His Highness the Second Prince nor Young Master Shangguan were poisoned. They only had skin injuries. It's Your Majesty's blessing."

Doctor Li replied while bandaging Chengjue and Shixu.

"Mother, I'm so sleepy." Shi Xu put his arms around Gu Feier's neck, his tone still a little aggrieved, "I want to take a nap."

After all, he is a child who is not yet ten years old. If he encounters such a thing, he may say that he is sleepy, but his fear must be true.

"Okay, mother will take you to bed soon, okay?" Gu Feier said, still patting Shi Jiu's back gently.

"If he's sleepy, let him go to sleep." Emperor Yin De said, and asked Cheng Jue, "Jue'er, do you want to rest for a while?"

Chengjue nodded, obviously tired.

"Let your mother accompany you." Emperor Yin De said, and asked Su Qingyao to take Cheng Jue over. He asked the eldest princess to arrange a side hall for Cheng Jue first, and then went directly to the main hall.

He wanted to see who was so bold and dared to assassinate the prince at the feet of the emperor!

After Emperor Yinde brought Shangguan Xiaolin to the main hall, the summoned Prime Minister Gu Wenkang and officials from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple also arrived.

Seeing Emperor Yin De sitting at the top and not speaking, everyone was silent, and seeing that His Majesty was even more angry today than when he learned that Qiao Fa had been killed.

"Who came out of the palace with the second prince today?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a guard climbed in and kowtowed to Emperor Yin De. He seemed to be a guard, but in fact, this person was An Yi, the commander of Cheng Jue's secret guards.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. Your Majesty, please forgive me. It was my subordinate who neglected his duty and hurt my young master."

"Then give me a good explanation as to why you were assassinated?"

An Yi said, "My subordinates were riding in a carriage with two young masters. When they were approaching the gate of the eldest princess's mansion, more than a dozen men in black suddenly came. My subordinates didn't think about anything else. They just wanted to protect them. The two young masters did not expect that the young masters were still injured, and several colleagues were unfortunately killed during the fight with the men in black."

Emperor Yin De pinched his eyebrows and asked, "Is there anyone left alive?"
