The First Traitor [Rebirth]

Chapter 30 Assassination

The crown prince came here today wearing his regular clothes, which were embroidered with four-claw python clothes, which showed his high status and noble status.But he had a beard on his not-so-handsome face, and his stomach was a little protruding. He had a simple and honest appearance, but he looked at Yuan Li and Yuan Jing with a hint of calculation in his eyes.

From the prince's point of view, although Yuan Li has been crowned, his complexion is not good, and his walking steps are sloppy, as if his body has been hollowed out by wine.And when he saw himself, his eyes flickered, and his expression was a little nervous and a little excited.

On the other hand, Yuan Jing standing beside him, although she was half a head shorter than him, but because of her young age, her face was handsome and handsome, but there was a mature temperament in her expression; she was neither humble nor overbearing, her eyes were firm, and she stood upright People can't help but have a great affection for her.

The prince thought to himself: Although Yuan Ye gave birth to an unworthy son, he also gave birth to a son who cannot be underestimated!

The dispute between the concubine and the concubine has always been inevitable, no matter the royal family or the ordinary family. Yuan did not show any envy and jealousy towards Yuan Li, which made the prince a little uneasy, fearing that it would be difficult to control the Yuan family.If the two do not get along, he can still stir up dissension and disrupt the Yuan family forever. It seems that he still has to be wary of Yuan Ye and Yuan Jing.

"This Fengtian Pavilion is a layout designed by Mr. Yuan himself. What do the two Mr. Yuan think?" the prince suddenly asked.

Yuan Li thought for a while and began to talk eloquently: "Fengtian Pavilion was built according to the destiny. It is a place dedicated to worshiping the heaven, earth, sun and moon, and praying for good weather. Naturally, it is extremely important. Look at every brick and tile, they are all made with heart... ..."

Yuan Li talked for half an hour, praising the sanctity of this place and the merits of the people who designed this place, intending to show off to Yuan Ye.But no matter what he said, there was no trace of a gratifying smile on Yuan Ye's face, he just nodded occasionally.

At this time, Yuan Jing stepped forward and said, "His Royal Highness, what my elder brother said is very reasonable. Fengtian Pavilion takes the concept of 'round sky and place' and 'harmony between man and nature' as the so-called listening to heaven. Here are a few In the forest garden, the trees planted are osmanthus, which symbolizes wealth and honor, and demonstrates the emperor's supreme status; and the toon tree, which is a tree of longevity, symbolizes longevity. There is also the chrysanthemum, which also symbolizes longevity and wealth What does His Royal Highness think about the layout of Fengtian Pavilion?"

Yuan finally threw the question back to the prince, the prince pursed his lips, and suddenly said with a smile: "So, the design of Fengtian Pavilion is indeed well-intentioned!"

When he came to a garden, the prince sat down to rest in the pavilion.Several servants came over with tea and pastries in an orderly manner and placed them in front of the prince. The prince gave a portion of pastries to Yuan Li and Yuan Jing who were standing beside him, and said: "It's hard work explaining this palace. Thank you." Have some snacks."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Yuan Li reached out to take the dessert.

At this moment, the waiter holding a bowl of fruit drink saw that the prince was unprepared, suddenly took out a dagger from the fruit drink, and stabbed at the prince.

The assassin was facing Yuan Li, he was the quickest to see the assassin's move, and immediately opened his mouth wide in fright, not knowing how to react.At the same time, he discovered the assassin was the servant next to the prince. Before he had time to call for help, he chose to rush over and blocked the fatal blow.

At this moment, all the people came to their senses one after another. Unexpectedly, there was not only one assassin, but for some reason, several assassins appeared around, and they all came to kill the prince one after another.Unarmed officials ran around in fright, shouting "help".

"Protect Your Highness!" Someone shouted, but saw that the assassin broke through the siege and came to the prince's side. Seeing that there was no one around the prince to protect him, the dagger was about to fall, but Yuan Jing, who had been by Yuan Li's side, suddenly pushed Yuan Li who was dumbfounded.

Yuan Li threw the prince down, the dagger passed over his head, and another assassin stabbed him from behind, hitting the hollow of his right shoulder, and the light blue clothes were immediately dyed red.

"Ah..." Yuan Li wailed.

At this time, Yuan actually stepped forward, kicked the assassin, then grabbed the snacks and fruit drinks on the table, and threw what could be thrown away, so as to confuse the assassin's sight and interfere with their actions.

"There are assassins!" When everyone shouted, the Royal Forest Army finally arrived.

"Retreat!" shouted one of the assassins, fleeing with swift movement before the guards surrounded them.

Yuan Ye came to the prince in a panic and helped him up.When the prince got up, he was a little embarrassed, and his expression was a little flustered, but his eyes were not afraid.Seeing that the prince was fine, Yuan Ye checked on him when he heard Yuan Li's cry.

Yuan Li was stabbed in the shoulder socket, but it was not fatal, so Yuan Ye also breathed a sigh of relief.However, he hasn't completely relaxed yet, instead his expression is dignified.

It can be said that the assassination of the prince in Fengtian Pavilion has nothing to do with him, but it cannot be said that it has nothing to do with it at all.After all, the guards of the Fengtian Pavilion were not arranged by the Ministry of Industry, but during the days when the prince came to monitor the Fengtian Pavilion, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, who was the main builder of the Fengtian Pavilion, did not make good contact with the guards, which was also at fault.

But the fault lies in how the emperor decides.

The crown prince reorganized his entourage of officials and the team of the Imperial Forest Army, and then went back to the East Palace under the protection of everyone. Naturally, someone would report to the emperor what happened here.

It was only a short time before the incident reached the ears of the emperor. The emperor was shocked and furious, and wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly.The crown prince just went to monitor Fengtian Pavilion on his behalf and then something happened, so if he was the one who went there, would it be okay? !Check, must check!

First, the commander who guarded Fengtian Pavilion that day was arrested and sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, along with the governor and experience under him. Even Yuan Ye was called into the palace by the emperor for questioning.

Someone wrote a letter at the right time, saying that Yuan Ye, as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, majored in Fengtian Pavilion, but failed to properly arrange the guarding of Fengtian Pavilion, it is really negligent of duty!There are still some mysteries. Those assassins were able to find out exactly where the prince is, and there is clearly an internal agent. Then who is this internal agent?

All of a sudden, everyone rumored that after Zhang Songwei, someone else was about to suffer.

After Yuan Ye returned from the palace, he was still frowning all day long. Yuan Lu was crying because of Yuan Li's injury. The doctor said that the dagger was poisonous. Although it didn't hurt Yuan Li's life, it might cause his right arm to become disabled.For example, you can't use your strength, you can't lift heavy objects, and you can't even do the most basic push-ups.

Yuan Li was sad for several days, but during his recuperation period, Nan Lian would actually feed him, serve him with clothes and so on, he was flattered, and felt that the injury was worth it, maybe just like this Nan Lian would Taken by him.Moreover, he was injured for the sake of the prince, so he should be rewarded heavily, so he didn't take the rumors outside to heart.

Yuan actually only went to see Yuan Li once, and then he didn’t feel guilty about "Yuan Li was harmed by her", so he only bought some supplements and gifts to compensate Yuan Li, and then said a few words of concern: "Brother, you replace the prince. You blocked a knife, are you happy?"

Of course, it was so chaotic at the time, and Yuan Li never noticed that he was pushed down by Yuan Jing. Hearing what Yuan Jing said, he was ashamed to tell the embarrassment that he almost peed his pants at that time, and said with an air: "That's natural, I Great work has been done!"

Yuan didn't bother to talk to Yuan Li anymore. When he went to see Yuan Ye, he happened to see Yuan Ye sitting in front of the desk frowning, with a few white hairs on his head.Yuan actually sighed and called out, "Father."

"Jing'er? You finished watching your elder brother, how is he doing?"

"My sister-in-law said that his hands can move now, and he will recover in a month."

Yuan Ye nodded: "It's been three days, but I still don't have a clue!"

"Father, don't worry, I believe the Yuan family will be fine."

"Jing'er, Dad hasn't paid attention to you for a long time, and found that you are becoming more and more like your mother, no matter what happens, you can be so calm. In this regard, Dad, a big man, is not as good as you two mothers." Yuan Ye smiled and said something from the bottom of his heart.

For the first time in a long time, Yuan Ye mentioned her mother to Yuan Jing.Although Yuan actually wanted to know more, she also thought about it. Her mother left Yuan's house, and Yuan Ye never brought her back. It must be that the two of them had some kind of agreement or awareness. Bai asked.

"Father, do you wonder why those assassins can enter this heavily guarded Fengtian Pavilion?"

"A lot of people can't figure it out!"

"But right now the most imminent one should be King Qi."

Yuan Ye asked: "King Qi, what does this have to do with King Qi?"

Yuan actually sighed: "Father, have you forgotten who commanded the guards of the Imperial Forest Army guarding Fengtian Pavilion?"

Yuan Ye was startled for a moment, but soon realized that the person in charge was King Qi!Although Yuan Ye replaced those imposter craftsmen, he has no right to ask about the guards, so the guards are still King Qi's people!

The commander was arrested and sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and Zhang Songwei, who belonged to the prince's party, was in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. If he was beaten into a trick inside, King Qi would become the mastermind of the assassination!

"How come, is it a coincidence or..." Yuan Ye pondered.

"Father, if someone knows that the person in charge is King Qi, and he knows that King Qi once wanted to attack him, so he took the opportunity to take revenge, what do you think?"

Yuan Ye thought about it, and broke into a cold sweat immediately, Yuan Jing said: "You know, there were quite a few people who were able to enter Fengtian Pavilion at that time, such as the thousand guards of the imperial forest army brought by the prince..."

right!Yuan Ye cried out in his heart, everyone was wondering how the assassins entered Fengtian Pavilion, what if these assassins were the Imperial Forest Army arranged by the crown prince?It seemed only natural that they would be there!

"How did the prince know that the person in charge is King Qi, and how did he know that King Qi wanted to kill him?"

"Father, have you forgotten that there is also a crown prince in the Ministry of Industry? Although no one knows what the reason for the noise caused by the father is, but Shi Dengmen, the head of the Prince Qi's mansion, will naturally contact the father if he has done something that dissatisfied the King of Qi. The prince only needs to find those craftsmen to check, and he will know that the king of Qi has different intentions. And today, the prince is not trying to win over father, this is enough to prove that the prince knows about the discord between father and king of Qi."

After knowing the joints in this, Yuan Ye seemed to have figured out a lot of things at once, he didn't know how to deal with Yuan Jing's thoroughness, and said: "Jing'er, you think more thoroughly than Dad, this game of chess is really thorough everywhere. Trap!"

"Jing'er, how did you figure it out?" Yuan Ye asked anxiously again. He knew that this was a game between the crown prince and King Qi, but he was still involved.
