Was the whole group wiped out in the previous life? Reborn to drag the crippled king into the bridal

Chu Xuanchi chuckled, "It's been more than half a year since Zhao Zhao and I met again. Shouldn't we have some understanding of each other?"

"That's right." Mo Zhaohua walked over, "We are still interrogating him. The assassin is very stubborn and we have not been able to pry him open yet."

"Zhao Zhao must be tired after all the hard work. Come up and rest with me. I will leave the rest to them."

Chu Xuanchi patted the seats inside. Since the wedding night, he had been sleeping on the outside and Mo Zhaohua had been sleeping on the inside.

Mo Zhaohua just sat down on the edge of the bed, "Won't there be more people coming from the palace? I have to deal with them first. It will be inconvenient to change clothes."

"Never mind. You are a woman who lives in seclusion. You should have fainted when you encountered an assassin at night. It is understandable that you cannot handle it."

Chu Xuanchi originally wanted her to help him deal with the visitors from the palace, but now seeing that she looked tired, he was reluctant to let her work any longer.

"Ah..." Mo Zhaohua exclaimed in a low voice, "I forgot about this, but now I start to pretend to be scared. Is it too late?"

"It's too late, but most women are weak, and since I'm not worried about my life, Zhao Zhao can naturally put her worries aside. Suddenly, I feel tired."

Chu Xuanchi even thought of a reason for her. In her worry, she could forget her fear and tiredness, but she would still be tired afterwards. Why not take a rest?

"My husband is really smart." Mo Zhaohua praised him and stood up, "Then I will go out and tell them so that they can deal with it."

As a result, before Mo Zhaohua left, Wuying came in first, "Master, Princess, the assassin has confessed, and the person behind it is His Majesty."

"Is it really him?" Mo Zhaohua was a little suspicious. She turned back to look at Chu Xuanchi and asked for his opinion, "Do you believe it, husband?"

Chu Xuanchi did think it was Emperor Wenzong, "It could be true or false, but someone would care more about the truth than us."

Mo Zhaohua had already turned around and sat down next to the bed again. "My husband wants to hand the assassin over to His Majesty for interrogation?"

Chu Xuanchi was slightly stunned, "Is my meaning so obvious?"

Mo Zhaohua helped him up, "It's not obvious, but I just guessed it."

Chu Xuanchi leaned against the headboard, "If Father really wanted to kill me, why would he go to so much trouble?"

Wuying was confused. "But that's not what the master said before. Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Chu Xuanchi explained, "It happened suddenly, and I didn't think about it carefully at the time. Now that I have nothing to do, I think about it carefully."

They were talking about the assassin's confession when Yueying came in again and reported, "My Lord, Princess, someone has come from the palace."

Chu Xuanchi's eyes slid around and he interrupted immediately, "Hand the assassin over to them and then tell them the results of the interrogation truthfully."

"We're not going to interrogate him anymore?" Since the assassin might be lying, Wuying naturally wanted to find out the real person behind the scenes.

Chu Xuanchi raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes flashing with calculation, "The palace has many tricks, let father worry about this matter."

Yueying continued, "The imperial physician is here too, and wants to see the prince's injuries. Do you want me to find an excuse to send him away?"

Mo Zhaohua immediately helped Chu Xuanchi lie down again, "No need, the prince's current injury should be made known to His Majesty."

Wuying and Yueying quickly retreated, and soon after, a eunuch brought a few people into the main courtyard, but only he and the imperial physician entered the east wing.

Chu Xuanchi still pretended to be unconscious and allowed the imperial physician to take his pulse and examine his injuries. The result obtained by the imperial physician was similar to that of the palace physician.

The eunuch then prepared to take the assassin Lao Qi back to report. Seeing the wounds on his body, he also knew that he had been interrogated by the Prince Yu's Palace.

Upon learning the assassin's confession, the eunuch was so frightened that his face turned pale. He did not dare to delay for a moment and rushed back to the palace to report.

In Chengqian Palace, Emperor Wenzong had been sleeping peacefully. Hearing this, he flew into a rage, "What? An assassin sent by me?"

Li Tuquan could feel the anger as he looked at the blurry silhouettes through the bright yellow curtains on the dragon bed.

"This is the result of the interrogation in the Prince's Palace. The princess naturally doesn't believe it, so she specially ordered someone to bring the assassin into the palace for interrogation."

He was really shocked when he heard the news just now, and he knew that Emperor Wenzong would be angry, but he had to come in and report the truth.

When Emperor Wenzong heard that it was Mo Zhaohua's idea, he did not ask about the assassin anymore, but instead showed concern for Chu Xuanchi, "How is Old Five's injury?"

"There were many assassins, and Your Highness was not able to walk well. He was hit in the chest with a sword, which was extremely dangerous. Fortunately, God has protected him and his life is no longer in danger."

Li Tuquan tried to make it sound as serious as possible, "Your Highness' internal injuries have not healed yet, and now he has suffered another internal injury. I'm afraid he will have to lie down for a long time."

"I am sorry to Lao Wu, otherwise the assassin would not dare to put this matter on me. When Lao Wu wakes up, he might believe the assassin's words."

Emperor Wenzong suddenly felt a little regretful. If he had not intentionally stopped it, even if Chu Xuanchi's leg could not be healed, at least his internal injuries could be healed.

"Your Majesty, please do not worry. Your Highness is intelligent, and with the advice of Princess Yu, he will surely figure this out and will not fall into the trap of the evildoers."

"I hope so." Emperor Wenzong said, then changed the subject, "Who is plotting against me? Why would I go through so much trouble to kill Old Five?"

Li Tuquan gently advised, "Your Majesty, please calm down. The assassin has been brought back to the palace. I believe he will tell the truth soon."

Emperor Wenzong said in a cold voice, "Investigate this matter thoroughly. Let the Heavenly Prison use the extreme punishment. If he dares to plot against me, I will kill all his nine clans!"

"Yes, it is getting late. Your Majesty still has to attend the morning court. Please go to bed first. I will report to you as soon as there is a result."

***

At dawn, everything is silent.

In the backyard, the servants had already gone back to rest.

In the east wing, Mo Zhaohua tossed and turned after waking up from his sleep.

Chu Xuanchi was a light sleeper to begin with, and now she had disturbed him so much that he lost all his sleepiness. "Is Zhao Zhao feeling unwell?"

Mo Zhaohua apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry for disturbing your husband's rest. I feel something is not right inside my body."

"Did you use your internal energy today?" Chu Xuanchi realized belatedly that Mo Zhaohua was very skillful when pushing his wheelchair.

"Yes, there has been a force in my body since then, and it is now rampaging. I guess it is about to break through."

When Mo Zhaohua broke through the first level of "Su Wen Heart Sutra", he did not have such a strong feeling, so he did not pay much attention to it.

In addition, she had to deal with assassins, interrogations, the Jinwu Guards and people in the palace, so she had no time to pay attention to these things.

Chu Xuanchi was overjoyed, "That's perfect. Under the pretext of recuperating, Prince Yu's Mansion will close its doors to visitors from today onwards. Zhao Zhao can focus on his breakthrough."

"Aren't you going to the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion?" Mo Zhaohua had made preparations for a breakthrough this month and had already discussed the destination with him.

"If you don't have a good excuse, then don't go. The same applies here. I'll be watching and can lend you a hand when necessary."

Mo Zhaohua has already accepted him as his master, and will obey his orders in all matters related to martial arts. "Okay, then I will follow my husband's arrangements."
