The mind-reading sick prince led me and the system to go crazy

Inside the palace, the Emperor of Li was furious.

The imperial study was in a mess. Countless memorials were scattered on the floor. There were some water stains on the ground, and the jade-like cups were broken into pieces.

Eunuch You stood aside with his head bowed, not daring to move.

The leader of the Imperial Guards, Tang Shu, knelt on the ground with his head bowed, and reported to His Majesty the assassination attempt on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by the men in black. "All the men in black were killed, and none of them survived. As far as I know, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left the palace, he has encountered two waves of assassinations, and it seems that they were not the same group of people..."

"Fortunately, His Royal Highness was not injured, but the woman next to His Royal Highness was shot by an arrow, and her life or death is still unknown..."

Although there were many men in black lying in ambush on the street at that time, they were quickly defeated by the combined efforts of the Imperial Guards and the guards of the Prince's Mansion, and eventually all died at the hands of the guards' swords.

Just because of what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, "All assassins must be killed without mercy", the leader of the Imperial Guards, Tang Shu, did not rashly interfere with the lives of those men in black. As a result, he was temporarily unable to find out who was behind the plot and who the two groups of men in black obeyed.

Now that His Majesty asked, he didn't know how to answer.

Tang Shu sighed in his heart, why didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince leave someone alive?

The Emperor of Li had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the leader of the imperial guards say that the prince was fine. But then he heard that the woman following the prince was shot by an arrow. Wasn't she Lu Xiaoxiao, the woman who could make him hear her inner voice?

"I don't know whether he is dead or alive!?"

The Emperor of Li Kingdom took another deep breath, but couldn't swallow it for a moment. His face suddenly darkened and he frowned, saying, "Eunuch You, take a few skilled doctors to the Crown Prince's Mansion and tell them to pay more attention to me and make sure to save the woman's life!"

"Take the imperial edict I wrote earlier and give it to the prince."

"Also, let the imperial physician take the prince's pulse."

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Eunuch You hurried out of the imperial study to carry out the emperor's order.

The door of the imperial study was closed again. The Emperor of Li looked at the leader of the imperial guards, Tang Shu, with a solemn look: "Have you found out who murdered the crown prince?"

"If you dare to attack the prince today, you will dare to take my life tomorrow!"

"I want to see who is so brave!"

His tone was harsh, and an invisible imperial pressure came over him. Even Tang Shu, the leader of the imperial guards with blood on his hands, couldn't help but shudder. His face changed slightly, and he put his hands on the ground, calming his mind and said, "In reply to your Majesty, I can't find out who is behind this for the time being..."

There is no living person and he can't even get a confession. How can he investigate?

Originally, Tang Shu thought that he could get some information from the assassins, but to his disappointment, all the assassins were wearing black clothes without even a pattern, and it was impossible to infer who the assassins were.

The Emperor of Li said coldly: "Can't find out?"

Facing the emperor's cold gaze, Tang Shu felt a chill on his forehead. He managed to remain calm and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter!"

The Emperor of Li was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "I will give you three days. If you can't find out..."

"I can check!"

Tang Shu said in a decisive tone.

He was afraid that the emperor would suddenly say that if he couldn't find the truth, he would take his life.

Emperor Li: "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you."

Tang Shu: "I will never let your Majesty down!"

Emperor of Li: "I hope so."

After Tang Shu got up and left, the Emperor of Li still sat in front of the desk in silence.

The prince encountered an assassin just after leaving the palace. The Emperor of Li would not believe it if someone said there was nothing fishy about it.

Those who would attack the prince are none other than those few, but I don't know who is so eager to kill the prince this time!

Checks and balances have always been important in the court. As an emperor, one must understand the art of ruling. There were many things that involved the State of Li, several major families in Shengjing, and court officials. On several occasions, the Emperor of Li chose to make concessions and tolerate those people doing evil behind the scenes.

But this time, for the sake of the prince, he can no longer give in!

……

This time the prince was assassinated in the capital, and many forces were watching.

The mastermind behind the scenes sighed and said that the prince was lucky and could not be killed right away.

Those officials who were neutral and only loyal to the emperor were worried about the crown prince, fearing that his highness would die at the hands of those villains one day.

Those who stood on the different sides of the princes were gloating over the prince's misfortune, waiting day and night for the prince to die early, so that the position of the crown prince would fall to the masters they were loyal to...

When Feng'an Palace received the news, the Queen was carefully taking care of the pots of black orchids, and was thinking about how to deal with Concubine Wan's little thoughts.

But before the queen could come up with a solution, the fourth prince arrived with bad news.

After returning from Jiangning, Xie Jin had been staying in his mansion, rarely going out, and never entering the palace. He was waiting to see how his father would deal with the officials in Jiangnan, and then decide how to place his own people in the Jiangnan area.

But he didn't expect that the city would be so lively today, and his good second brother was actually stabbed on the street!

The moment he got the news, Xie Jin almost couldn't help but set off firecrackers in front of the mansion to celebrate this event, but when he thought of his identity, he suppressed his little thoughts.

But he was so happy that he wanted to take the "good news" to the palace to tell his mother.

"Don't worry, mother. Second brother will be fine."

Xie Jin showed worry on his face, but he was ecstatic in his heart.

It's just a pity that so many assassins couldn't kill the sickly second brother! He is really lucky!

If my second brother died today, I would have the chance to become the crown prince!

When the queen heard this, her eyes instantly turned red, tears kept falling, and she choked up and said, "Why did I encounter such a thing as soon as I left the palace?"

"No, I have to go to the Crown Prince's Mansion to see if Xi'er is injured..."

As she spoke, the Queen ordered Aunt Ningxiang to open the storehouse, take out all the medicinal herbs, and send them to the Prince's Mansion.

Aunt Ningxiang responded and took the palace maid to do it.

When Xie Jin heard this, his expression twisted for a moment. There were many rare medicinal herbs in the storehouse of Feng'an Palace. His father had always loved his mother, and whenever he received some life-saving herbs, he would move them all to Feng'an Palace.

Among them was a thousand-year-old ginseng. Xie Jin had always wanted it, but no matter how many times he mentioned it to his mother, her mother was reluctant to give it to him.

But today, as soon as the Queen Mother heard that her second brother was in trouble, she immediately sent all the medicinal herbs to the Prince's Mansion!

It seems that in the Queen Mother's heart, only Xie Xi is her son. When has she ever considered herself her son?

Xie Jin lowered his eyes, a hint of cruelty flashed across his eyes. Could it be that his mother had already guessed that he was not her biological son?

When he thought of this possibility, Xie Jin suddenly became restless.

"Ajin."

"Ajin?"

Looking at her distraught little son, the queen held back her tears and called out to him several times before she heard his response:

"Mother, my sons and ministers are here."

Xie Jin came back to his senses, dazed for a moment, and almost couldn't hide the murderous intent in his eyes, luckily he kept his head down.

Xie Jin relaxed his expression and looked up at the queen: "Mother, what's wrong?"

The Queen sighed softly, her brows filled with worry: "I don't know why, but I always feel uneasy. I don't know if His Majesty will let me leave the palace. If His Majesty doesn't allow me to leave, I can only take Ningxiang out secretly."

"Ajin, would you like to go to the Prince's Mansion with your mother?"

Xie Jin frowned slightly.

In fact, he didn't want to go.

If his second brother had died, he would have been happy to go to the Prince's Mansion to burn some incense for him, but that was not the case.

But since his mother had spoken, Xie Jin couldn't refuse, so he agreed.

"Your Majesty, all the herbs in the storehouse have been taken out. Who will you send to the Crown Prince's Mansion?"

Aunt Ningxiang brought a number of palace maids to the storehouse. They were all very skillful and quickly completed the Queen's orders.

Seeing boxes of medicinal herbs placed in the palace, the queen stood up, took a deep breath, and said, "I will go there myself."

Aunt Ningxiang's face changed slightly, and she quickly tried to persuade him: "This...how can this be possible?"

"Your Highness cannot leave the palace without His Majesty's order!"

"No need to persuade me," the queen brushed her sleeves and said to the eunuch standing by her side, "Xiao Shuanzi, go and run. His Majesty is still in the Imperial Study at this hour. Go and ask for instructions from His Majesty. Go and come back quickly."

"Yes."

Xiao Shuanzi quickly turned around and left.

The Queen let out a breath. If she had known that Xier had been assassinated, she should not have let the Emperor return to the Imperial Study when they were in the Imperial Garden. If the Emperor was here now, she would not have to let Xiao Shuanzi make the trip.

The queen was also restless because she couldn't see the prince for a while.

Xie Jin, who was sitting next to him, suddenly became mute and remained silent. No one knew what he was thinking.

The queen paced back and forth, glancing at him from the corner of her eye.

Originally, she wanted to ask A Jin if he had heard any other news about A Xi.

But seeing that he was absent-minded and not as active as before, and seemed to be worried about Xier, the queen couldn't help but feel relieved. The brotherly relationship between Ajin and Xier has always been very good. In the future, Li Kingdom will have the two brothers supporting each other, so she can rest assured.

A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Shuanzi came back, seemingly unable to breathe.

Seeing that the Empress was staring at him, waiting for his reply, Xiao Shuanzi did not dare to delay and said quickly: "Reporting to the Empress, the Emperor has agreed."

"it is good!"

The queen's eyes lit up, and she quickly ordered everyone in the palace: "Ningxiang, quickly arrange for a few tight-lipped people to follow me to the prince's mansion!"

Aunt Ningxiang went to arrange for the guards and palace maids that the Queen would take with her when she left the palace.

After a while, an ordinary and low-key carriage slowly came out of Feng'an Palace.

Sitting in the carriage were the Queen and Xie Jin.

-

What happened in Feng'an Palace could not be hidden from Concubine Shu in Luhe Palace.

She had already sent people to keep an eye on Feng'an Palace. When she heard the maid's report, Concubine Shu's eyes darkened and she suddenly sneered, "I didn't expect the Queen to be so impatient. She allowed her to leave the palace when the Crown Prince was assassinated, and even His Majesty allowed her to do whatever she wanted."

"The Queen is indeed the one that His Majesty holds in his heart. His Majesty will never disagree with anything the Queen wants to do!"

Shufei has always been resentful. She resents that the Queen is able to gain the favor of the Emperor, resents that the Emperor has his soul seduced by the Queen and treats her, Shufei, coldly every day, and she resents even more that the Emperor gave the throne of crown prince to the Queen's son!

Hearing this, the eldest prince Xie Qi couldn't hold back his temper. He suppressed his excitement and said hastily, "Mother, this is a great opportunity."

"If the queen dies..."

Concubine Shu glanced at him and said, "The people you sent out couldn't even kill the crown prince, and you want to kill the queen? Do you think the queen only has those few guards around her?"

She had known for a long time that the emperor had left royal shadow guards to guard the queen. As for how many shadow guards there were, Shufei didn't know. The only thing she knew was that if the queen was attacked, those shadow guards would definitely appear.

Don’t let yourself be exposed instead of being able to kill the queen.

Xie Qi also didn't expect that his men were so useless. With so many people, they couldn't even hurt the prince!

but……

"Mother, we are not the only ones who want Second Prince's life."

The first group of people who wanted to kill the second prince were sent by him. As for the second group using bows and arrows, they were not his people at all.

Xie Qi raised his eyebrows, looking a little hesitant: "If we can join forces with others..."

Concubine Shu said calmly: "Do you know who did it?"

Xie Qi lowered his eyes: "I will go and investigate. If I find out who it is, will mother agree to join forces?"

Concubine Shu's eyebrows slowly relaxed, and she chuckled and said, "My mother doesn't care about this matter, so you can handle it yourself."

"My mother is in the palace, so it is inconvenient for her to act. I will leave the discussion of cooperation to you. You must kill the prince!"

"According to how much your father values ​​the Crown Prince, if the Crown Prince is alive, it would be a huge threat to you and me!"

Xie Qi nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, mother. I understand."

"Okay, mother is tired, you can go back first."

Concubine Shu raised her hand and rubbed her brow. Today's matter was not over yet. The emperor would certainly send someone to investigate. It seemed that she had to be more cautious and not leave any clues, so as not to harm Qi'er.

"My son, please retire."

After leaving the palace, Xie Qi did not go directly back to the eldest prince's palace, but went to Yichun Tower.

Yichun Tower, Beauty Pavilion on the second floor.

After opening the door, Xie Qi looked up and saw the woman standing in front of the window.

The woman's back is slender and graceful.

The noise of the door opening did not seem to alarm her.

"Adai."

Xie Qi walked in. Before the woman turned around, he stretched out his hands and embraced her slender figure. "Adai, why are you ignoring me?"

"The eldest prince has so many women around him. One more or one less won't make a difference. Why bother coming?"

Adai said in a calm tone.

Hearing this, Xie Qi suddenly laughed out loud and forced A'dai to turn around. He lowered his head and stared at her delicate face: "A'dai, are you jealous?"

Ada was silent.

Xie Qi didn't care about her cold face.

He raised his hand, gently stroked her face, and said in a gentle tone: "As long as Adai kills one person for me, from now on, there will only be Adai by my side."
