The eldest princess is obsessed with rebellion, but there are six male protagonists

The emperor was assassinated. That night, the guards serving in front of the emperor subdued the assassin and reported to Lu Hong.

Lu Hong blocked the news immediately and arrested all the people serving in the Qianqing Palace that night, and then immediately asked Xue Yu to leave the palace to find Su Fengyi.

When they arrived at the door of the bedroom, Xue Yu and He Hongfei were guarding the door on the left and right. Su Fengyi pushed the door open and walked into the Qianqing Palace bedroom.

The bedroom was eerily quiet. The emperor lay in bed, not yet awake, with a shocking red scar on his neck.

Lu Hong was guarding on one side with a knife in hand, while Liao Yuanpan was serving on the other side, giving acupuncture to the emperor.

Apart from that, there is no one else.

Su Fengyi walked over and asked Judge Liao:

"How is the Emperor?"

Giving acupuncture to the unconscious emperor, Judge Liao was still very steady and said in a deep voice:

"The emperor was too frightened and has not yet woken up, but his life is safe, Your Highness, please rest assured."

Su Fengyi asked him again:

"When will the emperor wake up?"

Judge Liao did not dare to guarantee this time and replied:

"This is hard to say."

Su Fengyi walked closer and reached out to feel the emperor's breathing, and found that he was still alive.

The red marks on his neck made him look so fragile. It turned out that the so-called true dragon emperor was just a mortal. An insignificant palace maid and an ordinary rope could take his life.

At this time, the emperor seemed to be no different from an ordinary person. He was both the emperor, her opponent, and her brother.

But she didn't know since when, in her eyes, her younger brother became less and less, and her opponents became more and more, so much so that her heart was so hard that when she saw him like this, she didn't even have much sympathy for her brother in her heart.

Since we don't know when the emperor will wake up, it's useless to stay here. Su Fengyi looked at Lu Hong and asked him:

"Where are people?"

Lu Hong looked outside, then looked at her, and Su Fengyi nodded:

"Okay, you lead the way."

After pushing the door open, Su Fengyi instructed Xue Yu and He Hongfei:

"I will be back soon. Protect the emperor and don't let anyone see any clues."

There is also an advantage to the emperor not liking to attend court or meet with courtiers. For example, at this time, it would be much easier to cover up the fact that the emperor was assassinated and unconscious.

After all, it is normal for the emperor not to appear for a long time. It would be strange if he showed up every day.

Su Fengyi didn't say who she wanted to see, but Lu Hong knew it without asking, so he took her all the way into the interrogation room of the Imperial Guards.

In the interrogation room, at first glance, there was a bloody man dressed in palace maid's clothes hanging. His head was hanging and his hair was disheveled. It was impossible to tell whether he was alive or dead.

The imperial guard in charge of the interrogation brought a chair over. After Su Fengyi sat down, he asked:

"Did the interrogation reveal the truth? Who ordered her to assassinate the emperor?"

The interrogator brought a piece of confession paper and said:

"Your Highness, the suspect Zhang Jinxiang claimed that she did it alone and no one instructed her to do it."

Su Fengyi looked at the bloodstains on the paper and saw that they were the blood from the prisoner's hands when he was taking his fingerprints.

Su Fengyi looked carefully at the bloody man's hands hanging on both sides. His nails were black, showing signs of torture. Drops of blood were dripping from the bloody man's fingertips onto the floor.

Su Fengyi did not take the paper, but said:

"Wake her up."

The imperial guards poured a bucket of water towards Zhang Jinxiang, grabbed her hair and exposed her face.

Stimulated by the cold water and unconscious due to excessive torture, Zhang Jinxiang barely opened her eyes.

Zhang Jinxiang had a pretty face and looked like an ordinary girl. However, such a little palace maid with an ordinary name, ordinary looks, and who was so ordinary that she was almost not worth mentioning, dared to assassinate the emperor alone.

Su Fengyi asked her:

"Zhang Jinxiang, do you know that if you assassinate the emperor, your entire clan will be killed."

Zhang Jinxiang was a maid serving in front of the emperor. She knew the princess and laughed when she heard the princess ask this:

"Nine clans? The entire Zhang family has no remains left. Your Highness, why don't you try and see if you can dig them out of the ground."

So that's how it is. When the emperor is angry, a million people will be killed and blood will flow for a thousand miles. When a common man is angry, two people will be killed and blood will flow within five steps.

Zhang Jinxiang is just another Xue Yu.

And how many Zhang Jinxiangs are hiding inside and outside the palace walls, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

When Qiao Gui was in power in the past, Zhang Jinxiang and others' hatred was directed at Qiao Gui, but this time Pei Yu stepped in to add fuel to the fire, and all the old events from when Qiao Gui was in power were dragged onto the emperor, so Zhang Jinxiang and others' hatred naturally shifted to the emperor.

Su Fengyi asked Zhang Jinxiang again:

"Who ordered you to assassinate the emperor? If you were coerced, you may be able to keep your body intact. Otherwise, if the emperor is furious, you may be tortured to death."

Zhang Jinxiang laughed again and said:

"Do you need someone to instruct you to kill him? Your Highness, doesn't he deserve to die?"

At this point, there was no point in asking further questions, so Su Fengyi left the interrogation room.

……

Su Fengyi stayed in the Qianqing Palace all night, and the emperor finally woke up the next morning.

When the emperor opened his eyes and saw Su Fengyi, he seemed not to be fully awake yet. His first reaction was to grab Su Fengyi's sleeve, hug Su Fengyi's waist, and burst into tears:

"Sister, sister, someone wants to kill me!"

When a naughty child gets into trouble, the first thing he does is to go home and cry to his family.

No matter what conflict the two had yesterday, the only person who can truly be called a family member around the emperor is the eldest princess.

Su Fengyi patted him on the back:

"Your Majesty, Lu Hong has captured the man."

The emperor cried for a while, and finally came to his senses. He pushed Su Fengyi away and started to get angry again:

"Come here, come here, drag that daring lunatic to the Meridian Gate and behead her. Now, immediately! I will torture her to death and cut her into pieces!"

Su Fengyi looked at him:

"Your Majesty, yesterday they were court officials, today they are palace maids, and tomorrow they will be civilians. Can you really kill all the people in the world? Does Your Majesty really want to kill everyone in the world?"

If it were yesterday, the emperor would naturally be so arrogant and say, "Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill." Anyone who dares to disobey me would be killed, even to the last person.

But after the moment of being strangled by someone last night when he was on the verge of death, the emperor, who originally looked down on any ant, also began to feel fear.

There is actually someone who dares to kill me. There are thousands of people in the palace and tens of millions outside the palace. Anyone of them could be the rebellious person and anyone could kill me.

The emperor reached out his hand and pulled Fengyi's sleeve again, with tears on his face:

"Royal sister, please help me. Didn't you say you had a way during the day? Please help me, Royal sister."

Su Fengyi said:

"Your Majesty, immediately release the ministers, hold a morning court, posthumously confer the title of Lord Luo, reward the Luo family generously, and personally go to the Luo family to pay your respects. Then send Concubine Chen out of the palace and let her return home. This matter will be resolved."

The emperor released the minister and had him executed on the spot.

It would not be difficult for the Emperor to posthumously confer the title of Lord Luo and reward the Luo family generously.

But the emperor hesitated when he thought about going to the Luo family to mourn in person.

Now that it is so unsafe inside the palace, it is even more unsafe outside the palace. The emperor does not want to leave the palace.

This was a great opportunity to repair the relationship with the court officials. Seeing that he hesitated, Su Fengyi asked:

"Then tomorrow, I will go in place of the emperor?"

The emperor quickly agreed as long as he didn't go out.

Then, regarding the Concubine Chen, the Emperor was still undecided, and Su Fengyi asked:

"The Concubine Chen cannot stay in the palace. Please let her go home, Your Majesty."

The emperor was unable to answer, which showed that he was reluctant to do so. Finally, he said:

"Okay, I'll take care of it."

That morning, the emperor released the imprisoned ministers.

At noon that day, the emperor held a noon court and posthumously conferred the title of marquis on Lord Luo. He also ordered the Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the case of Prince Qingyang. After the court was adjourned, the ministers who had knelt with coffins to make remonstrations dispersed one after another.

That afternoon, a carriage carrying Concubine Chen left the palace and happened to meet Su Fengyi who was returning from paying homage to the Luo family.
