Chapter 94 The assassination of the prince
Bang, bang, bang. He kicked over the stall of a roadside vendor, stabbed out with the knife in his hand, stirred it left and right, but found nothing, so he went to the next one.
Bang bang bang, the doors of every house were smashed open, and a large number of people rushed in with swords and knives. The houses were in chaos, and the crying of women and children could be heard from several streets away. Nothing was found, so they went on to the next house without saying a word.
In this way, in just a quarter of an hour, the entire street was in chaos.
Judging from the situation, something big has happened.
"Chen Ping, go and find out what happened."
After a cup of tea, Chen Ping came back and said, "Princess, the Crown Prince was injured by an assassin. The dagger was poisoned. The imperial guards are searching the city for the assassin."
Li Shuangwan's eyes sank slightly. She remembered that on this day in her previous life, Crown Prince Ling Ji was attacked while having dinner in a tavern with others. However, he was not injured in her previous life, and the assassin was stabbed through the chest by the crown prince's guards in public.
Since the assassin was killed on the spot and the prince was not in any danger, this incident naturally did not cause much trouble. The only reason she knew about it was because she heard Ling Heng talk about it as a joke.
It was said that the assassin overestimated his own abilities. There were so many people surrounding the prince, but he was so naive that he thought he could kill the prince by himself. In the end, he lost his life in vain.
As for why the assassin wanted to assassinate the prince, Li Shuangwan had no idea.
But how could this life be different from the previous one?
Not only did the assassin stab the prince, the dagger was also poisoned, and what's even more incredible is that he escaped?
She asked hurriedly: "How is the prince now?"
Chen Ping whispered, "I heard that the wound was on his left shoulder blade, and the sword was poisoned. The prince fell into a coma immediately, and has now been sent back to the East Palace."
Li Shuangwan concealed the regret in his eyes as he did not kill Ling Ji on the spot.
The tavern was immediately closed and all the diners in the tavern were taken to the Ministry of Justice.
"Go back home."
Li Shuangwan lowered the curtains and the carriage rumbled towards the palace. A large number of imperial guards were still searching.
The prince was stabbed in the left shoulder blade by the waiter who was serving the food while he was dining outside. This was a very serious matter and soon the news spread all over the city. Almost all the major families secretly sent people to find out what had happened to the prince.
It is said that the poison on the dagger was very strong, so Emperor Jingzhang sent all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital to the Eastern Palace.
The news from the East Palace was blocked.
Li Shuangwan asked Chen Ping to continue to inquire about the news.
But she did not care about Ling Ji's situation as much as others did. After all, if something really happened to Ling Ji, Emperor Jingzhang still had five other princes.
She asked Chen Ping to find out the identity of the assassin. Once she found out his identity, she would be able to figure out why he wanted to assassinate Ling Ji.
An hour later, Chen Ping appeared in front of Li Shuangwan.
"Did you find out so soon?"
Chen Ping thought that it was extremely difficult to find out such news, and he was worried that he would not be able to complete the task assigned to him by the princess.
Unexpectedly, it went unexpectedly smoothly, so smoothly that he almost thought someone had deliberately handed the information they had found to him.
"I did find out. The waiter had been working in this tavern for less than a month. His name is Mo Yu, he is 23 years old this year, and he is an ordinary scholar in Xin'an Town. One day half a year ago, he married his new bride. It was also a coincidence that the prince happened to pass by. When the wind lifted the curtain of the wedding sedan, he accidentally saw the bride's face."
Li Shuangwan's heart sank when he heard this. Ling Ji was very greedy for beauty. He wouldn't be so shameless as to snatch the bride on the spot.
"The prince immediately stopped the wedding sedan and forcibly exchanged the woman following him for the bride. Mo Yu was naturally unwilling and had a conflict with the prince's guards, breaking his leg. The prince not only snatched the bride away, but also did not give him the woman he had been promised. A happy event turned into a disaster."
"Where is the bride?" Li Shuangwan's face looked very ugly. Ling Ji was shameless, but it was also outrageous that he could be so shameless as to snatch someone's bride in public.
Such a person has been sitting firmly on the throne of crown prince for more than ten years. If the Northern Jin Dynasty does not perish, then who will?
Chen Ping sighed, "The prince took her to another courtyard and tortured her for several days. Five days later, all Mo Yu brought back was the cold body of the bride."
Chen Ping sighed heavily when he said this: "It is said that the bride refused to obey even if beaten to death, so the prince used some tricks, and then he got tired of playing with her and gave her to the guards below. There are so many guards in the prince's mansion..."
"Brother!" Chen Rong scolded with a pale face, "You are telling me all kinds of dirty things to pollute the princess' ears."
Chen Ping knelt down and confessed his guilt.
"It's okay, get up." Li Shuangwan tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand, extremely angry. Saying that Ling Ji was a beast was an insult to beasts.
"So, Mo Yu found out that the prince often went to that tavern, so he went there to work as a waiter?"
"Yes."
"What's with the poison on the dagger?"
"I haven't found out about that. It is said that the poison is a very rare snake venom produced in Zhao State. Once it cuts through a person's skin, it can scrape bones and flesh at best, or kill a person at worst."
"Did the Imperial Guards capture Mo Yu?"
Chen Ping nodded: "It was caught by the Jinyiwei."
"Jinyiwei, Lu Dongqing?" She remembered that the people she saw searching on the street were the imperial guards.
"Yes, the Crown Prince was assassinated, which is a serious matter. The Emperor has also sent out the Royal Guards."
"Mo Yu was taken back to the Jinyiwei prison?"
"Yes, but Mo Yu also had this poison hidden in his teeth. He didn't resist at all and directly told the reason why he wanted to assassinate the prince. After that, he immediately bit the poison hidden in his teeth and committed suicide."
"Who else knows this news? No, how do you know it so clearly?" Even if he asked for the news, it would not be possible for him to know it so quickly and in such detail.
Chen Ping shook his head: "I also find it strange. Not long after I left the mansion, I heard two Jinyiwei who were arresting people whispering about this matter at the corner."
There is no such coincidence in the world. Besides, Chen Ping has no martial arts skills. Those who can join the Jinyiwei are all top-notch masters. It is impossible for them not to notice that someone is eavesdropping behind them.
Therefore, someone deliberately sent this news to Zhou Bo and then told her.
So, those two so-called Jinyiwei might also be fake.
So, is it Gu Xingyan?
She seemed to have not seen him for several days.
She then asked, "Did Mo Yu say who gave him the poison?"
Chen Ping shook his head.
Mo Yu was just a weak scholar who devoted his entire life to assassinating the prince and exerted all his courage.
Such a person would never have the chance to obtain such a poison, just like in the previous life.
Unless there is someone behind him who not only gave him poison, but also taught him how to assassinate successfully and how to escape afterwards.
Could it really be Gu Xingyan?
She could still figure out how to deal with Ling Heng, but why should she deal with Ling Ji?
