For a moment, Liu Che didn't know what to do. He just panicked and hugged Ying Zheng tightly in his arms. The guards outside had rushed in and surrounded the assassins. Liu Che didn't seem to have seen the chaotic scene. In the same way, he shouted in a deep voice: "The imperial doctor, the imperial doctor Xuan!"

The Empress Dowager also came over while being supported, and the old man said tremblingly, "Ah Jiao, Ah Jiao, you should answer Grandma."

Ying Zheng was in severe pain, his stomach seemed to be churning, his eyes were tightly closed, but he just opened his mouth, but he couldn't force himself to spit out the words.

The young guard who took the lead had already captured the assassin, and before Liu Che had time to interrogate him, the imperial doctor rushed into the palace, ignoring etiquette, and knelt down to ask Ying Zheng for his pulse.

The imperial doctor was sweating all over from running, and at this moment, he was so frightened that his brow was dripping with cold sweat, and said: "Your Majesty...Your Majesty, let the empress lie down first, and stop bumping."

The Empress Dowager said: "Take the Empress to the old couch."

The Eastern Palace has always been the place where the Empress Dowager lives, and it symbolizes status. Now that the Empress Dowager is alive, even the Queen Mother does not have the right to be in charge of the Eastern Palace, but Yingzheng has this honor.

The Queen Mother stood aside, pretending to look nervously at Ying Zheng, but in fact she wished that the queen would have no heirs. After all, the Dou family was already too powerful. If Chen Ajiao gave birth to a boy, the whole world would belong to the Dou family.

Liu Che now only sees Ying Zheng nestled in his arms. Hearing what the imperial doctor said, he immediately hugged Ying Zheng horizontally. The palace people on the side hurried over to protect him. Liu Che strode to carry Ying Zheng inside and put him on the soft couch .

The imperial doctor has already taken out the pills he brought and gave them to Ying Zheng to swallow. Although he came in a hurry, he dared not leave these things with him. The situation is urgent. If he goes back to get the things again, he will not be decapitated. up.

Liu Che was sitting on the edge of the couch, holding Ying Zheng's hand all the time, while the imperial physician knelt aside to check his pulse, and the maids carrying water and wiping their sweat with cloth towels came in and out wave after wave.

Ying Zheng's mind was a little blank due to the pain, but he got used to it and gradually felt better. He wondered if the pills in his mouth had worked. He opened his eyes slightly. Liu Che saw him looking in his direction, and said: " Gillian, does it hurt? It's okay, just bear with it and it will pass."

Only then did Ying Zheng realize that his hand was tightly held by Liu Che, but he didn't have the strength to shake it off.

The Empress Dowager said: "Your Majesty, get up and leave, don't hinder the imperial doctor."

Only then did Liu Che reluctantly stand up, his eyes still fixed on Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng was in a daze, and when the pain got better, he began to think about how an assassin could sneak in in a place like the East Palace, and this assassin was still in the Yuefu, obviously knowing that there was a banquet in the East Palace today.

But this banquet was prepared on the spur of the moment. If it weren't for the eyeliner in the palace, how could it be arranged so quickly.

Furthermore, this assassin did not go for Liu Che at all, but for the Empress Dowager. At that time, many guards rushed in outside. Obviously their plan was discovered. got implicated.

Yingzheng couldn't figure out who did this. Now that the Empress Dowager is in court, the emperor has no real power, and both the ministers and the princes have benefits. There is no reason to assassinate the Empress Dowager.

If you want to say that it is beneficial, it is the group of Confucian scholars, and it is the current emperor Liu Che.Once the empress dowager dies, Liu Che will be in charge of the military.

Just according to Liu Che's thinking, even if he resents the empress dowager for taking care of him, he will not be rebellious after all. Liu Che is obviously still a young and energetic young man, just acting out of loyalty, and he will never be like this. I don't have the guts.

Ying Zheng was thinking, feeling a little weak, someone seemed to be speaking in his ear, but it became more and more blurred, and gradually he couldn't hear it. When he fell asleep, he suddenly thought that maybe someone was sowing discord. The relationship with the Empress Dowager is the best...

When the imperial doctor left, the empress dowager felt tired even with her old bones, so she asked the maid to help her to lie down in a side room. Liu Che said: "Hey, don't be exhausted, there are maids to accompany you, you can go with you for a while, the imperial doctor also said it's nothing serious."

Liu Che didn't have time to think about the Queen Mother's attitude. After all, in his eyes, his mother was a gentle person who never spoke loudly and was always respectful to his father and grandma. He never thought about how much she thought about her.

Liu Che just nodded, and the Queen Mother was surrounded by people and left the East Palace.

Liu Che sat on the edge of the couch for a while. Seeing that Ying Zheng was sleeping soundly, he stood up and said softly to the servant: "Go and call the guard just now... By the way, don't wake up the queen."

The servant hurriedly nodded, not daring to make a sound, ran out on tiptoe, came in after a while, whispered to Liu Che, "Your Majesty, people are outside, and Wei Qing has been waiting outside."

"Wei Qing?"

Liu Che heard the name familiar, but couldn't remember who it was for a moment, so he asked the servant to open the door, went out by himself, and asked the servant to close the door.

There was a young soldier waiting outside the hall, who seemed to be about the same age as Liu Che. He was tall and straight, his eyes were like torches, and he was very handsome. On weekdays, Liu Che, who loves beauty, would naturally think about something, but it is different now. How could Liu Che still have such thoughts, all his thoughts were devoted to Ying Zheng, and he was extremely worried.

Seeing Liu Che coming out, Wei Qing quickly knelt down to pay his respects.

Liu Che waved his hand and said, "There's no need to be too polite, the assassin is here."

Wei Qing didn't get up, but bowed his head and said: "Return to the emperor, the assassin was just caught, but... committed suicide in fear of crime."

Liu Che said, "What? Suicide?"

"Yes."

Liu Che said: "A group of you, did you catch the assassin and make him commit suicide?"

Wei Qing said: "Returning to Your Majesty, it is not an excuse for the humble general. From the perspective of the humble future, the assassin is not an ordinary person, but a person who came prepared, received special lessons, and dared to die. He also has this person's kung fu. With third-rate fists and kicks, the humble general thinks that... he might be a local powerful person."

After hearing this, Liu Che couldn't help but look at him, and said, "Get up and talk."

Wei Qing said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

As he spoke, he got up tall and stood upright to reply.

Liu Che said, "You mean, the assassin is someone else's servant?"

Wei Qing said: "It's just the general's guess, but it is indeed possible."

"Okay..." Liu Che nodded, and said, "Then this matter will be handled by you, and everyone in the palace will ask you questions."

Wei Qing was a little hesitant. It is said that this kind of matter is not in the hands of a small guard of his own, and he has full authority to manage it. However, he hesitated for a moment, and immediately replied: "The humble general... the humble general."

Liu Che just nodded, then let Wei Qing go down, and went back to the hall by himself.

As soon as Liu Che entered, the servant knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the empress is awake."

Liu Che was overjoyed, and rushed to the side of the couch. Ying Zheng woke up. Although he looked listless, his lips were not as pale as before.

Only then did he put his heart into his stomach, sat down, held Ying Zheng's hand, and said, "Sister Gillian scared me, is there any discomfort? Does it still hurt?"

Ying Zheng couldn't stand such gentle and charming inquiries from him. After all, Ying Zheng was not a woman. If a woman were to be immersed in Liu Che's gentle offensive at this time, it was a pity that this would only make Ying Zheng burst into tears. Get goosebumps.

Ying Zheng could only shake his head.

Liu Che said: "It's fine, it's fine, if you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me. I have sent someone to investigate this matter just now, and I will never let you go lightly. Sister Gillian, don't worry... By the way, the Empress Dowager is also worried about you, I will send someone to tell the Empress Dowager that you are awake, so that the old man should not worry."

Ying Zheng nodded first, and Liu Che summoned the servant to go to the side room.

Ying Zheng opened his mouth when he saw that the servant had gone out and the other palace servants stood far away.

Liu Che knew that he was weak now, so he quickly lowered his head to listen to what Ying Zheng had to say.

Ying Zheng's voice was a little weak, and he said, "Your Majesty... Has Your Majesty asked someone to investigate?"

Liu Che nodded and said, "Don't worry about this matter. Although the assassin committed suicide in fear of crime, it is not without trace."

Ying Zheng shook his head, and Liu Che lowered his head to listen to him again.

Ying Zheng said: "This matter cannot be investigated...the emperor has no military power, so he cannot be investigated..."

Liu Che was a little shocked. Looking at Ying Zheng, he lowered his voice and said, "You mean, the assassin has military power? I can't handle him?"

Although Ying Zheng was weak, he chuckled lightly and said, "Your Majesty...when His Majesty wanted to issue an edict without passing through the Eastern Palace, an assassin appeared in the Eastern Palace. Yes, it must be the eyeliner in the palace, this is not enough... Think again, how can an eyeliner be such a big master? That person must be in Chang'an city..."

He paused as he spoke, it seemed that he had talked too much, his breath was not smooth, he slowed down for a while, and then continued: "The one who can benefit from provoking the emperor and the empress dowager... who is it?"

Liu Che listened, his eyes narrowed unconsciously, and his face was a little dark. He already understood in his heart that such a simple question was naturally the princes and kings.

Liu Che ordered the princes to go to the fiefdom, in order to avoid the instability of his first ascended Dabao Emperor, and these princes controlled the government and spied on the government.Now all the princes have returned to their fiefs, and there is only one person... that is Liu Qian, the Prince of Huainan.

Seeing his expression, Ying Zheng said: "Your Majesty, please hold your breath. The assassin has committed suicide. There is no evidence. Everything is speculation, so it's hard to convict..."

Liu Che took a deep breath, it can be seen that he was very angry, but he also knew that this matter was of great importance. Although the feudal lords were weakened a lot after the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, they could still mobilize troops. There is no tiger talisman in it, so it is definitely not the time.

Liu Che nodded and said, "Sister Gillian is still thoughtful."

Ying Zheng closed his eyes. This incident was also an unexpected gain. At least Liu Che was obedient to himself. This is a good habit. Once the habit is formed, it will save Ying Zheng a lot of effort.

He closed his eyes. Liu Che thought that the other party was tired and wanted to rest, but Ying Zheng laughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, Liu Qian's crime of treason can't be cured, but you can also be punished...I heard that Liu Qian and Dong Yan were in contact. Intimacy, I always drink and make gifts on weekdays, if I don't guard against it, I will follow what Dongfang Shuo said last time..."
