"What?!" Qin An's face changed drastically, and he jumped up from the chair all at once.

The person who came to report the news wiped the sweat off his face, and before they could ask any questions, he said directly: "The emperor was assassinated and seriously injured. Now the imperial physician is doing his best to treat him."

Qin An's complexion was iron, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "What's going on?!"

The man took a few breaths before explaining the matter.

Prince Yu planned to rebel against him tonight, but the emperor wanted to follow his plan and directly convict him of treason in front of all members of the royal family.

In those years, Prince Yu had always hated the late Emperor and the Emperor, but his power was hidden very deeply, and he looked like an idle prince in front of outsiders. He had a good reputation in the royal family, and many people almost forgot that he had a relationship with the late Emperor. Take the throne.

When the family banquet in the palace started, mutiny occurred not only in the capital and the army, but also in the imperial city.

The guards at the west gate of the imperial city were secretly replaced long before the handover, and the west gate was opened when it was estimated that it was almost time, and two other teams entered the imperial city one after another.

The food and wine for the banquet had just been served, and before the members of the royal family present had time to pick up their chopsticks, Prince Yu's troops rushed in and surrounded everyone present at the banquet with lightning speed.

For Prince Yu's sudden attack, most of the people present expressed their astonishment, while those who knew about it earlier all stood in front of the emperor.

The emperor sat on the high platform, looked at Prince Yu expressionlessly, did not say anything, did not do anything.

When things got to this point, they would be fools if they didn't understand. Everyone at the banquet looked at Prince Yu with disbelief. They really didn't expect him to do such a thing.

However, they were still puzzled by why Prince Yu chose to do it on the day of Mid-Autumn Festival. So many people saw his evil deeds, so could he be sure to control everyone's mouths?

It can only be said that they thought too well of Prince Yu.

The reason why he chose this day to strike was to wipe out all members of the royal family. As long as the Jin family died and only Prince Yu's line remained, even if he didn't want to be emperor, he wouldn't be able to.

It was none other than the Third Prince who figured this out first, because what Prince Yu did was different from what he said, so he probably had this idea in his heart.But he is the emperor's son, as long as the other brothers die, the throne will definitely fall on his head, he doesn't need to kill all the members of the royal family.

Seeing the third prince jumping out to fight Prince Yu, everyone else felt a "thud" in their hearts, and there was more than one person who dared to plot rebellion.

At this time, the emperor signaled Jin Lu to send out a signal, and the imperial army rushed in, surrounded Prince Yu and the third prince, and confronted Prince Yu's men at the same time.

Prince Yu's face was gloomy, feeling that something bad was about to happen. He had asked someone to lure the Imperial Forest Army away, but he didn't expect that they were still there. However, he still had those members of the royal family as hostages, so the situation was not that bad.

Afterwards, the emperor made a second gesture, this time to a general under Prince Yu, the general saw the emperor's gesture, and immediately rushed to the "companion" beside him. When he reacted, he subdued the person directly.

And the soldiers under the general's command were the same, attacking the "companions" beside them one after another, and the situation was reversed in an instant.

Prince Yu and his subordinates never imagined that there would be people who would turn their backs. They looked at those "traitors" and wanted to tear them alive.

The third prince was also shocked by this scene, he turned his head tremblingly, and saw that the emperor was still sitting on the high platform, his face was as sinking as water, and there was no emotion on his face, and he fell to the ground as soon as his legs softened.

The crowd watched the audience, and only now did they realize that the final winner was still the emperor.

Qin An nodded, but his brows were still furrowed.

Not sure how it is possible to let people into the imperial city. Before those people stepped into the imperial city, their every move has been under the monitoring of the emperor.

As for the "renegade" general, I'm sorry, he was the emperor's man.

Prince Yu has a strong desire to control, and he doesn't like close personal relationships among his subordinates, so the few generals who entered the palace and their soldiers are not very familiar with each other.

The general and his soldiers all entered the palace with a face that did not belong to him, and the owners of those faces are currently being guarded by the army. Speaking of which, I would like to thank Shao Yan, who has worked hard for him these days.

"Prince Yu and the third prince have been detained, and those who participated in the rebellion were also put in prison. The banquet ended early. But when he was leaving, the second prince suddenly rushed at the emperor with a dagger hidden in his sleeve, and the emperor didn't." After realizing it, I was stabbed by him." The worried expression on the speaker's face became more and more serious, "The crown prince ordered the second prince to be detained, and all the imperial doctors went to the emperor's place, but..." The situation is not very good.

The voice fell to the ground, and there was silence in the room. At this time, no one was in the mood to speak.

Chu Junyi especially didn't understand what was going on in that second prince's head. Prince Yu and the third prince wanted to rebel, so what's the matter with him? It's time to be crowned king.

After being crowned king, he will be assigned a territory. Before, the emperor was afraid that his son would think too much if he had a territory, so he postponed the matter of becoming a king. Now... let alone the title, it is hard to say whether he can save his life.

Because the emperor was assassinated, I don't know how many people will be implicated.

Although it is said that sharp weapons cannot be carried when entering the palace, the method is thought up by people, as long as there is a heart, you can always find loopholes.

Perhaps, they should also be thankful that the crown prince is standing, even if the emperor dies, the throne will not fall to others.

Thinking of this, Chu Junyi couldn't help but feel a little guilty. The emperor treated Gu Chengzhi very well, so it's not kind of him to think so.

But Jin Rong is also good to Gu Chengzhi. If... Chu Junyi had a toothache for a moment, he just conspired. As a beneficiary of the emperor's assassination, he has reason to doubt Jin Rong.

However, he also knew that Jin Rong was not that kind of person. If the emperor hadn't passed away in another ten or twenty years, Jin Rong might not be able to bear it.But now Jin Rong is only in his early 20s, he can still afford to wait, and it will be justifiable to inherit the throne after a hundred years, so why should it be so.

In the midst of his busy schedule, Chu Junyi stayed up all night, and he raised his head with a sleepwalking expression after the sun rose.

The emperor's injury has stabilized, but he is still not awake. At this time, it is reasonable for Jin Rong to supervise the country, at least to stabilize the situation, otherwise when the emperor wakes up, the first thing to do is to beat him.

Chu Junyi frowned, stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead, trying to relieve the gradually increasing dizziness, now he sees everything as a double image, his chest is suffocated, and the feeling of nausea hits him wave after wave. I can't take it anymore.

"Jun Yi, go and rest, we are enough here." Seeing that his expression was really bad, Qin An couldn't help saying.

Chu Junyi still wanted to say something, but his eyes suddenly went dark, his mind buzzed, and his body shook. If Xue Hu hadn't quickly supported him, he would have fallen to the ground.

"Take him to rest." Qin An frowned, and after speaking to Xue Hu, he said to the subordinate beside him: "Call a doctor over."

Xue Hu supported Chu Junyi, and shouted out the door before Qin An's subordinates left: "Old Ba, go and ask Miracle Doctor Yu."

The guard known as "Old Eight" responded, turned around and ran out.

Qin An was also very busy here, Xue Hu was really embarrassed to ask them to help with errands, nodded to them, and then wanted to help Chu Junyi up.

"Let me... slowly..." Chu Junyi grabbed Xue Hu's arm with one hand, and waved the other hand twice in the air, and said weakly: "I'm a little dizzy...don't move..."

After resting for a while, the darkness in front of Chu Junyi finally subsided, and with Xue Hu's support, he went back to the room, lay down on the bed and couldn't get up.

Yu Ji came very quickly, as soon as he came out of the palace, before he got home and sat in a warm chair, Chu Junyi's guards found him.

"What are you doing here?" Yu Ji asked in surprise, "How did you spoil yourself like this?"

Chu Junyi was silent for a moment before saying: "Nothing..."

Yu Ji sneered and said, "Didn't do anything? With your haggard face, it's like taking aphrodisiacs and finding out that you can't lift them, and finally hardened the effects of the medicine all night."

Chu Junyi: "..." What kind of metaphors are these? !

"It's fine if you don't want to say it." Yu Ji snorted coldly, and wrote a prescription with a flick of a pen.

"It's not that I don't want to say..." Chu Junyi sighed, "It's just that I was a little stimulated."

"Stimulation?" Yu Ji glanced at him, then turned his head and wiped off the last two ingredients on the prescription.

Chu Junyi saw his movements and twitched the corners of his mouth.

Yu Ji handed the prescription to Xue Hu, and said, "Grab the medicine according to the prescription, and bring it over after it's decocted."

Xue Hu took the prescription, but he expressed doubts about the last two medicines that were erased.

"It's okay, go grab the medicine." Seeing him standing still, Yu Ji insisted on waiting for an explanation, and sighed, "Why are you so honest? The two medicines are just to adjust the taste of the soup. It’s not very useful. If you let it go, it’s probably a little bit more bitter than Coptis chinensis soup, good medicine tastes bitter.”

Xue Hu: "..." Bitter?

Chu Junyi: "..." I knew he would say that!

Yu Ji waved his hand at Xue Hu, and said repeatedly: "Hurry up, hurry up, don't waste any more time."

After Xue Hu was speechless, he took a look at Chu Junyi, and then went out to grab the medicine with the prescription.

After Xue Hu left, Yu Ji quickly asked, "Tell me, what stimulated you?"

"Why did I tell you?" Chu Junyi looked at him with a dull face.

"I care about you!" Yu Ji said righteously.

Chu Junyi pierced him straight to the point: "Wait until you put away the 'exuberant interest' on your face before talking about anything else."

Yu Ji wiped his face, coughed twice, and said seriously, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Chu Junyi twitched the corner of his mouth, sighed, and said after a while, "Have you ever killed someone?"

Hearing this, Yu Ji was stunned for a moment, and then said in disbelief: "Did you kill someone?"

"En." Chu Junyi responded softly.

"To be more specific, what's the matter?" Yu Ji frowned, and sat down beside Chu Junyi, looking at him with worries.

Chu Junyi's heart warmed, and after thinking about it, he still told what happened last night.

"Are you okay?" Yu Ji's brows were almost twisted into twists.

Chu Junyi paused for a few seconds before answering: "Probably."

Yu Ji asked, "Do you dare to sleep now?"

"I guess... I dare not." Chu Junyi twitched the corner of his mouth, revealing a wry smile.

"After drinking the medicine, I'll give you an injection to help you sleep." After finishing speaking, Yu Ji asked again: "By the way, have you eaten yet?"

Hearing that Yu Ji said that he would give him acupuncture, Chu Junyi just wanted to nod, but the topic of eating made him stop.

Seeing him like this, Yu Ji also understood in his heart, and asked the guards to bring some food, but he hadn't eaten yet.

The two of them had a meal, rested for a while, stared at Chu Junyi and drank the medicine, and then Yu Ji began to administer the needles.

During the acupuncture, Chu Junyi asked about the emperor's situation.

Yu Ji didn't say much, only said that the emperor's injury is stable, so don't worry too much.

Chu Junyi didn't want to know too much, and he was relieved to hear that the emperor was fine.

The effect of acupuncture was good, and Chu Junyi fell asleep before the acupuncture treatment was over. Of course, there was also the reason for his exhaustion.

Yu Ji didn't want to wake him up, so he left silently after closing the needle.

This time, Chu Junyi didn't sleep well, as if he was always surrounded by uneasiness.

Between half-dream and half-awake, there seemed to be a hand gently rubbing the center of his brows, as if to erase the uneasiness between his brows, Chu Junyi waved his hand reflexively, and drove away the annoying hand.

His eyelids moved, which was a sign that he was about to wake up. Just when Chu Junyi was about to open his eyes, he seemed to hear someone sigh, and then he fell into someone's arms, so familiar and so warm.

The uneasiness seemed to dissipate with the wind, and Chu Junyi's expression returned to calm. There was a warm touch on his forehead, which stayed for a few seconds and then disappeared. He shrank into that person's arms and fell asleep peacefully. go.

When Chu Junyi woke up, he hadn't realized where he was, so he could only stare blankly at the person lying beside him.

"Are you awake?" Gu Chengzhi reached out and rubbed his hair.

"En..." Chu Junyi responded subconsciously, blinked, and realized after a while, he couldn't help asking: "Why are you here?"
