Crown Prince's Counterattack

Late at night, the night is dark and windy, and everything is silent.

Sima Yi, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, his sleepy eyes instantly regained clarity, his expression was alert, revealing a trace of nervousness.

someone is coming!

Sima Yi heard the sound of chaotic footsteps slowly approaching his position, even though they deliberately lightened their steps, but according to his extraordinary perception, Sima Yi could still hear their breathing and heartbeat, and faint Scattered killing intent.

Oops!

The leading killer continued to hide on the roof under the cover of night, staring at the room where Sima Yi lived, and the others were slowly approaching that room, being cautious.In the quiet night sky, the crisp sound of wind chimes colliding suddenly came, a little hurried, but the oncoming night wind was still as gentle as before, and someone immediately noticed something was wrong.

But when they reacted, the sound of footsteps not far away and the faint light of fire were approaching them. If they chose to retreat at this time, there was still a chance of survival, but the leader made a gesture, and everyone looked solemnly. Started to approach the target positioning position at full speed, before the guards came, make a quick decision.

Sima Yi got out of bed, picked up the sword on the bookshelf, and found a hidden place to hide. He couldn't remember how many princes he had been, but he was used to dealing with such sudden unit situations.He doesn't like to be served by people, and most of these people are eunuchs and maids of the powerless unit. It will take some time for the guards to rush over. Fortunately, he has been on the battlefield several times. Time can still do it.

The door was kicked open, and a dozen men in black clothes of different sizes came in. As soon as they entered, they rushed directly to the bed, but the empty big bed made them completely guarded.Sima Yi followed the reflection of the smooth mirror surface of the blade and the moonlight, and saw their movements clearly.The room is not too big, they will soon find the location where Sima Yi is hiding, and Sima Yi immediately decides to act first.

"Fix him!"

The man in black clutched his injured shoulder, looking at Sima Yi's unit with killing intent in his eyes, he almost... Sima Yi has no time to get there, it's a pity, so everyone is approaching him, Sima Yi frowned, Concentrate on coping with the pressure from all directions...

Sima Yi sat on the bed, the candlelight lit up the whole room brightly.The maid squatted on the ground, carefully treating the wound on Sima Yi's arm. There were so many people, he could not escape some minor injuries. Fortunately, the guards in the mansion finally rushed over, and Sima Yi was completely relaxed.The bloody wound made the dressing maid look pale, but Sima Yi didn't blink his eyes, his eyes were empty, no one knew what he was thinking.

"how is the situation?"

"Return to Your Highness, two escaped, the others died, and committed suicide by taking poison"

Sima Yi frowned, it turned out to be a dead man, it seems that the person behind this wanted his life at all costs, it's a pity that he lacked a little bit of luck.Not to mention that he broke the traces of these people in advance, I'm afraid they didn't expect him to be a martial artist.However, with so many people dead, the other party's loss is not small. You must know that the cost of training a dead soldier is not ordinary.

"Understood, let's go down"

Sima Yi's face was pale, and there was a faint feeling of pity. Since the person is dead, he can't ask anything, but as for who is behind his back, Sima Yi has a vague guess in his heart, Zhao Pu, this old fox...

After receiving the news that Sima Yi was assassinated in the mansion, Zhao Kuangyin's eyes were dark, and he hurried out of the palace without caring about the dawn. He hurried towards Sima Yi's mansion with the best imperial physician and medicinal materials.After a chaos, the house was brightly lit, the guards looked solemn and tense, and the atmosphere was a little depressing. When Zhao Kuangyin arrived, he saw this scene.

Although Sima Yi is now the prince, he has never been crowned king, so the number of guards serving in this mansion is limited. Only after such a big incident happened today, did Zhao Kuangyin realize that he almost harmed the child. Zhao Kuangyin felt that it was time to give them everything they deserved.

"Is something wrong?"

As soon as Zhao Kuangyin entered the room, he smelled a faint smell of blood. When he saw Sima Yi lying on the bed with his eyes closed, he was startled.

"Why is Daddy here?!"

Sima Yi opened his eyes. He has always been a light sleeper. After bandaging the wound, he felt a little tired and lay down for a rest. However, he did not expect Zhao Kuangyin to come to see him from the palace late at night. When he was about to get out of bed to salute, he was caught Zhao Kuangyin held it down, and sat on the side with support.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at the wound on Sima Yi's arm with a gloomy expression, and saw that although Sima Yi was pale, he was in good spirits, and his complexion turned slightly better.When he was young, he fought on the battlefield, he never got any injuries, and he didn't blink his eyes, but seeing his son injured today, Zhao Kuangyin really felt angry.

"How did such a thing happen? Where is the assassin? Who is behind the scenes?"

Under the emperor's feet, this kind of thing would happen again, and what is even more unimaginable is that the people behind this are so bold that they dare to assassinate the prince. Zhao Kuangyin felt that the emperor's dignity was challenged.

"The assassin has committed suicide by taking poison and has not asked anything."

Sima Yi shook his head helplessly, Zhao Kuangyin frowned, it is unusual for someone who can support a dead man, he immediately thought of what happened back then.

"But even though I didn't ask anything, I already guessed who is behind this unit... Daddy, there is no one else except Uncle Sanwang"

Sima Yi's tone was cautious, with determination in his eyes.

Zhao Kuangyin's eyes were complicated. Although he also had such a guess in his heart, the guess was just a guess, even if Sima Yi was so sure, it would not help.

"I think Daddy must want to know why I said that, because what Uncle San Wang wants... is now in my hands."

Ignoring Zhao Kuangyin's face change after speaking, he ordered everyone to retreat, then stood up from the bed, walked to a place, opened the secret room, and took out the carefully hidden things.

Zhao Kuangyin suppressed the excitement in his heart and watched Sima Yi's movements quietly.From Sima Yi personally telling what the third brother wanted, he immediately realized that it was that kind of thing, but it was something he never expected. The thing he had been looking for for so many years actually fell into the hands of his son's unit. Zhao Kuangyin finally let go of his anxious heart, and Zhao Kuangyin still couldn't believe it.

Sima Yi delivered the things to Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyin took it, spread out the imperial decree, read it carefully, and let out a long sigh of relief.

This imperial decree was supposed to disappear with the mother's death, but he never expected that before the mother's death, she would order the maid beside her to take this thing out of the palace, and it would disappear without a trace. He checked several times Neither.Knowing that it was later discovered that the third brother was also secretly sending people to search, only then did he understand his wolfish ambitions.

"Daddy, I think now you should understand why Uncle Three Wang wants to kill me."

Sima Yi's expression was indifferent, as if he didn't care.

"However, what is all this about? How could there be such an imperial edict?"

This imperial decree has been preserved for some years, and Sima Yi wondered why Zhao Kuangyin, who was still in his prime, wrote the imperial edict to establish the emperor's younger brother.

"Oh...that's a long story"

After letting go of his worries for many years, Zhao Kuangyin felt a little more relaxed.

"Back when you were young, it happened that you were about to go on an expedition. You know that the battlefield is changing rapidly, and if you don't keep it together, something will happen. Once something happens to me, you children will not be able to keep this piece of foundation. So in desperation, I had no choice but to Go and discuss with the queen mother, and set up this edict to avoid accidents."

"Originally this edict was supposed to be destroyed after returning from the expedition, but your grandmother was worried that I would attack your third uncle, so she secretly kept this thing in order to restrain me, so that I would not dare to attack your third uncle. Uncle do it"

Speaking of this, Zhao Kuangyin had a wry smile on his face. Zhao Kuangyin was really chilled when the empress dowager distrusted his son so much, but after so many years, his ancestors had already passed away, so he didn't want to mention it again.

"But I don't know how this matter will be known by your third uncle. It breeds ambition, and then many things will happen later. It is also a trick of good fortune."

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head helplessly. The brothers who fought with him in the past are now dead and separated. Even the closest brothers are now in harmony with each other. This country has become a lonely family and widows, but he has not retreated. Not only that, but he also wants to let his sons and grandchildren sit down from generation to generation.

"……I see"

In fact, it is a very simple thing, but now it has spawned many conspiracies. It can only be said that the throne is too touching, and Sima Yi is thoughtful.

"Fortunately, this thing is in your hands, otherwise things will be bad"

He doesn't care how the things fell into Sima Yi's hands, the child will always have his own secrets when he grows up, not to mention that the child is so capable as a father is something to be proud of.Over the years, he has been terrified of Zhao Guangyi because of this imperial decree, so he tolerated it again and again, but now this thing has finally returned to its original owner, and it is time to settle it.However, because of his intentional or unintentional indulgence these years, Zhao Guangyi has a lot of power in his hands, so even if he wants to do it, he can't act too hastily.

"What is Daddy going to do next?"

Sima Yi asked tentatively.

"It's time to avenge your elder brother's revenge, and this time you were injured..."

“It was all worth it”

"...you are right"

Zhao Kuangyin was silent for a moment, and looked at Sima Yi with a relaxed smile.
