Commander Xiao, who was secretly hindering the team under the banner of protecting the prince, felt nervous when he saw Xu Huaiyi coming back and looking as frightening as an evil spirit. It seemed that his plan would fail. At the very least, it would be impossible to get rid of the prince.

Sure enough, after Xu Huaiyi threw the dancer into the hall, he rushed towards the group of assassins who were besieging the prince without saying a word.

With his joining, the situation changed immediately. The original Yulin Guards, including Commander Xiao, no longer dared to play tricks, and their moves finally became more fierce.

Gradually the assassins were defeated and forced to retreat step by step. After a while, they were all injured or disabled.

Xu Huaiyi was even more ruthless in his attack, as if he wanted to vent all the anger in his heart. His movements were wild and violent, and as if by accident, an assassin who was kicked away by him smashed towards Commander Xiao.

Commander Xiao counterattacked subconsciously, and heard Xu Huaiyi shouting, "Catch him alive!" However, it was too late, and the knife in his hand had already stabbed into the other party's heart.

The assassin was killed completely, without even a chance to rescue him.

Originally, this matter was not a big deal. At most, Commander Xiao did not handle the situation well. However, the other party was an assassin and deserved to be put to death. However, Xu Huaiyi said meaningfully, "Don't kill all the other assassins. Before silencing them, you have to interrogate them. What if there is something else you can get?"

This statement simply implied that Commander Xiao had ulterior motives in killing someone just now.

Commander Xiao's face changed immediately. Before he could explain anything, he saw the other assassins suddenly vomiting blood and falling to the ground!

Before dying, someone shouted in grief and indignation, "My Lord, I failed to avenge you. You died unjustly..."

There was another person who fought hard before his death, wanting to die together with the prince.

No one expected that the exhausted and defeated assassin could still have such strong explosive power. If Gu Xiaoyu had not taken out the life-saving weapon at the critical moment, the opponent might have succeeded.

Gu Xiaoyu's life-saving weapon was given by Gu Huanxi. It was an anti-wolf spray that she asked a craftsman to make. Of course, it was not filled with pepper spray, but a medicine provided by A Li. This medicine was very effective. As long as you smell it or get contaminated by it, your whole body will become stiff and your limbs will become weak. It was similar to a neurotoxin. Although it could not kill the opponent, it could perfectly restrict the opponent's actions. If the person could not move, he would have no lethality. Wouldn't that mean he could be at your mercy?

She knew that there were many taboos and restrictions in the palace. Even the prince could not carry weapons openly. Self-defense depended entirely on hard work and the protection of others, which was too passive. That's why she came up with this thing.

The small spray can be carried with you, which is convenient and useful. Most importantly, no one who checks it will think it is a weapon. The medicine inside is also non-toxic and will not be used as a handle by others.

Gu Xiaoyu felt deeply regretful that he didn't have the chance to use it before. This was a life-saving weapon prepared for him by his mother and sister. Who would have thought that it would come in handy tonight.

Gu Xiaoyu was very excited, especially when he saw that the assassin was so stiff that he couldn't even move his eyeballs. He felt even happier. Sister A Li was really amazing. Now he would have a reason to go see Sister A Li later. This medicine saved him, so he should go and thank her in person, right?

Commander Xiao was just the opposite. He was so angry that his heart almost bled. This was his trump card, and he had failed. All that planning had gone in vain!

What a waste!

He gave a look, and the assassin, who was stiff all over, stood upright like a mummy for a moment, and suddenly stopped breathing.

Xu Huaiyi walked forward with a cold face, felt the other person's breath, and laughed mockingly, "Another one is silenced. It's really hard to guard against!"

After these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone in the hall became more complicated. Just now, there was a chaotic fight and their lives were at risk, so no one had the energy to think about anything. But now, the situation was under control. Seeing these scenes, they were all thousand-year-old foxes, so how could they not have some ideas?

The assassin had revealed his identity before. He was a man of Li Sheng, the former Marquis of Changle. He disguised himself as a dancer and entered the palace to assassinate for revenge. But now it seems that there is another mystery.

Moreover, the person behind the scenes might be in the hall, otherwise, how could he kill people and silence them so promptly?

Thinking hard!

As the head of all officials, Prime Minister Sun said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, please investigate this matter thoroughly! Anyone who dares to assassinate the emperor and the crown prince should be executed along with his entire clan!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone else, regardless of their purpose, chimed in.

Emperor Yongping seemed to have recovered after being treated by the imperial physician, but he was still weak when he spoke. "My dear ministers, what you said makes sense. This matter will be handed over to Commander Xiao to investigate. We must find the real culprit..."

Just as Commander Xiao was about to accept the order, he heard Xu Huaiyi say, "Your Majesty, I have something to say!"

Emperor Yongping raised his eyes to look at him, and his hands in his sleeves clenched into fists subconsciously, "Lord Xu, what do you want to say?"

Xu Huaiyi met his gaze without avoiding it, "Your Majesty, I think it would be fair to let the three courts investigate this matter, and they will be able to find out the truth!"

Upon hearing this, Commander Xiao immediately asked angrily, "Lord Xu, what do you mean by this?"

Xu Huaiyi usually looked like a good guy. When getting along with Commander Xiao, he maintained a feigned peaceful relationship on the surface. But now, there was no need for that. He sneered, "Commander Xiao, don't you know what I mean? Do you really think that all the civil and military officials in the court are blind?

You arranged all the defenses in the palace tonight. I didn't interfere at all, but what happened? Such a big mistake happened. Fortunately, the emperor and the prince are blessed. Otherwise, you would be guilty of death!

Even now, you are not immune to this. Almost all of these dancers are skilled in martial arts, and the leader even carries a dagger and hidden weapons. How did they avoid the palace inspection? Is it possible without an insider to cooperate?"

When everyone heard this, they all agreed with it. Yes, the Yulin Guards who were searching were not blind. If they couldn’t find one, how could they not find all of them?

It was clearly a deliberate cover-up, and these Yulin Guards were Commander Xiao's men!

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Commander Xiao. It turned out that he wanted to wipe out the whole thing so that he could push his nephew to the throne. Well, if something really happened to the Emperor and the Crown Prince tonight, the Fourth Prince, as the legitimate son, would be the most qualified and hopeful to ascend the throne.

Commander Xiao was splashed with such a huge basin of dirty water that his eyes turned red with anger. Is he a fool? Would he allow so many assassins to disguise themselves as dancers to enter the palace and assassinate him?

He only arranged one, the others have nothing to do with him, he doesn't have that ability!

But there were some things he didn't dare to say, and he could only rage helplessly, "Xu Huaiyi, stop slandering me! I didn't..."

Xu Huaiyi interrupted with a sneer, "You said it's gone? Do you think I'm stupid or blind?

The civil officials can't see through your little tricks, but the military officers are all aware of it. You were really good at commanding just now. So many Yulin Guards, so many masters, but you spent so much time and couldn't catch just a few assassins, and they almost hurt the prince. What are you thinking? Do I need to point it out clearly?

Don’t accuse me of slandering you again. I killed all the assassins who besieged me by myself in just fifteen minutes. How powerful can I be?

Haha, it’s just that I really want to kill the enemy, but someone is just acting.”

Commander Xiao's face turned red and white, and he pointed at Xu Huaiyi, speechless. He didn't expect Xu Huaiyi to be so bold as to attack him at this time. Couldn't he guess that the assassin was arranged by Emperor Yongping?

He knelt down in front of the dragon throne and cried out in sorrow, "Your Majesty, I am innocent..."

Emperor Yongping was silent for a moment before he said, "Lord Xu is right, but I also believe that Commander Xiao is loyal and will not do anything so reckless, disloyal or unjust. However, to avoid suspicion, this matter will be investigated by the three departments, and the Yulin Guards will cooperate in the questioning. Before the truth is revealed, Commander Xiao will recuperate at home, and the Imperial Guards will temporarily..."

He paused and continued, "General Han will take charge of this. He must identify and eliminate all those who have bad intentions and ulterior motives."

General Han, who was suddenly called, didn't seem surprised at all and accepted the order respectfully.
