Unparalleled Concubine

Emperor Chengde slowly opened his eyes.

He was seriously injured. That night, the assassin's knife stabbed into his body from his ribs and hurt his lungs. After returning to the capital from Beishan, he had a fever and coughed up blood. He was drowsy and barely awake for a long time time.

This time he was careless.

The emperor of Chengde ascended the throne for 19 years. In the early years of his succession, the Great Jin Dynasty was under the command of Emperor Wu. It seemed to be very prosperous and prosperous. However, because of the military aggression of the former emperor, the Jin Dynasty was in trouble at home and abroad, and the economy and people's livelihood inside were almost on the verge of collapse. Li Zhijie, Marquis of Pingnan in southern Xinjiang, also has a tendency to cede land and become king.

At that time, the emperor of Chengde was unable to look south, so he could only bury his head and slowly recover his vitality.

Now 19 years have passed, and the Great Jin Dynasty is becoming more and more prosperous in the hands of Emperor Chengde. The sores left by Emperor Wu were also filled up by Emperor Chengde one by one. If this continues, at most five years, the court can start to recover. Southern Xinjiang.

In this case, the Chengde emperor swelled.

He thought he had already controlled all the situation, so he started to renovate the Pingnanhou Mansion, using Li Xin was the first step, and dismissing Li Chun and Li Ji was the second step...

In the heart of Emperor Chengde, as long as he cut his flesh slowly step by step, the Pingnan Hou Mansion would not resist.

He underestimated the Pingnanhou Mansion.

That's why there was this assassination. This assassination was beyond the expectations of Emperor Chengde, so he was indeed assassinated by the assassin.

After two or three days of suffering in the hospital bed, Emperor Chengde finally woke up barely.

His face was as pale as paper, lying on the bed unable to move, his lips moved, but he couldn't speak.

This is the biggest failure he has encountered in Yu Jiyi's 19 years.

Chen Ju has been serving Emperor Chengde since the time when he was in Qiandi, and it has been more than 30 years in a blink of an eye. Seeing the appearance of Emperor Chengde at this time, the Grand Duke's eyes are also a little red.

"Your Majesty, lie down first, don't move right now..."

Emperor Chengde was in throbbing pain from the wound on his ribs, and his forehead was covered with sweat. He lay down again, still muttering something.

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about?"

Chen Ju bent down and put his ear to Emperor Chengde's mouth, trying to hear what the emperor said clearly.

After a long time, Chen Ju could barely hear what the emperor was saying.

His voice was choppy.

"I... never thought of killing you, you...you actually want to kill me..."

This sentence was said to Li Shen who was thousands of miles away.

Although the two of them are political enemies now, they are indeed playmates since they were young. Even if Emperor Chengde really wanted to attack Nanjiang, he never thought of killing Li Shen.

At best, Li Shen was imprisoned in the capital.

Of course, the Pingnan Army will definitely be disbanded, and the backbone of the Pingnan Army, Li Yan and Cheng Ping, will most likely die as well.

But Emperor Chengde really didn't want to kill Li Shen.

However, Li Shen is going to kill him now.

This was something that Emperor Chengde did not expect, and because of this reason, he did not have much defense.

He had just woken up right now, and he didn't know the slightest bit about the situation in the capital, but he didn't even need to think about it, he knew who the person who assassinated him was.

It's more of a gut feeling.

Chen Ju's eyes were red and he said with tears, "Your Majesty, that man's ambition is not worth your concern. Don't be sad..."

Emperor Chengde closed his eyes, rested for a stick of incense, and managed to regain some energy.

He spoke slowly, his voice low and inaudible.

"Get the medicine."

The great eunuch's eyes were red, he quickly fetched a medicine bowl from the side, and fed the decoction to Emperor Chengde one mouthful at a time.

As long as you are willing to drink the medicine, the injury will heal, and everything will be healed when the injury is healed.

After taking a few sips of the medicine, Emperor Chengde closed his eyes and fell asleep for a while. When he opened his eyes again, his face looked a little better.

Chen Ju stayed by his side and never left.

This kind of personal slaves around the emperor are often more reliable than his own sons, because they don't have the root of right and wrong, and don't have too many wishful thinking.

At least for Emperor Chengde, he believed in Chen Ju more than any other prince.

Chengde Emperor's voice was still low.

"What's the situation in the capital now?"

Chen Ju immediately lowered his head, told the general situation in the capital, and then said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the old slave has ordered to block the news in the palace. Now the government and the people only know that His Majesty has been assassinated. I don't know what's going on in the palace..."

"You did very well."

Emperor Chengde barely opened his eyes, and said with some difficulty: "Princes, what are you doing now..."

Chen Ju pondered for a moment, then bowed his head and said, "His Royal Highness occasionally comes to the palace to inquire about the situation. His Highness Third is in charge of tracking down the assassins. Now he is running around in the capital. The seventh prince is the most filial. He is guarding the gate of Changle Palace almost every morning." Then, I will leave the palace and go back to the mansion at night..."

Emperor Chengde coughed.

"Where's the fourth one?"

Chen Ju lowered his head and said with a wry smile: "The Fourth Highness is busy in the court and the public, I don't know what he is busy with..."

Chengde Emperor's voice became louder.

"He probably thinks I'm dead!"

Chen Ju quickly knelt on the ground.

"This old slave is terrified, he shouldn't say such words that hurt the feelings of the Tian Family..."

Chengde Emperor's voice was a little louder, and he immediately pulled the wound, and he snorted: "Where did the third child find out?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the Third Highness has found... Li Yan's head."

Chapter 230

"Li Yan..."

Emperor Chengde took a deep breath and said, "How did he find out about Li Yan's head?"

The Tianmu supervisor in the palace also participated in the third prince's investigation. The eunuch Chen Ju naturally knew the details. He knelt beside the Chengde emperor and explained in detail how Ji Zhong investigated the case.
