The prince of heaven only wants salted fish

Chapter 36: The Little Puppet Emperor (2)

Ji Cheng's shout was so sincere that Li Heng couldn't tell for a moment whether he had just woken up or was just pretending.

Li Heng: "..."

This made him suddenly not know how to respond.

He half-probingly and half-doubtingly said: "Ji'er, do you really not know what just happened?"

Ji Cheng blinked in confusion: "What should my nephew know?"

Li Heng: "Just now this person sneaked in from the top of the palace with bad intentions, you really didn't realize it?"

Ji Cheng's eyes widened again: "Is this an assassin?!"

Li Heng: "..."

He really wanted to ask if you killed this person, but at this moment, everyone in the bedroom was watching. Even if everyone knew that he was the one with more power now, he couldn't completely avoid doing face-saving work, right?

So Li Heng comforted him: "Ji'er, you don't have to panic. No matter what, the assassin has been killed now. As long as we strengthen our defense in the future..."

"How can this be possible!" Ji Cheng said emotionally, "This person dared to sneak into my bedroom to assassinate! It's so bold!"

"Investigate it strictly! Must investigate it strictly!!"

Ji Cheng shouted and slapped the quilt emotionally, as if he was extremely worried about his life safety-but no one else could find any flaws.

The words have been made clear to this extent, it would be too much to say that there will be no investigation.

Li Heng responded with a somewhat ugly face: "Come on, check the identity of this assassin for me and see how he sneaked into the palace!"

A minister responded and stepped out, commanding the guards to carry the body away.

The imperial physician who had been waiting beside him wanted to come up and feel Ji Cheng's pulse, but Ji Cheng yawned and lay down again: "Uncle, I feel so uncomfortable, I want to sleep for a while."

He looked at Li Heng with burning eyes: "I believe that under the command of the wise and powerful uncle, the identity and purpose of the murderer will be found out, right!"

Li Heng: "...Yes."

He forced a "loving" smile: "Ji'er, you have a good rest, the uncle will definitely find out the murderer."

Although the murderer looked dead, the person he killed was still alive.

After saying so much, Ji Cheng fell asleep again - this was quite normal for a person who was still sick, so no one present said a word.

However, after such a farce of "assassination", none of the ministers who followed him had the heart to go back to eat and drink.

It would have been fine if the emperor himself was not present at the Shangsi Palace Banquet, but now someone had lifted the tiles from the emperor's bedroom and jumped down to assassinate him. Who would have the nerve to have such a grand feast?

Even Li Heng's face was quite unpleasant.

He looked around coldly at everyone present, and finally waved his hand angrily: "Okay, after this incident, today's palace banquet will be over! Wait until your majesty's health improves another day." The ministers hurriedly accepted the order in fear, and then quickly returned to Baofu Hall and retreated with their families.

The minister who had received the order to "strictly investigate" the identity of the assassin did not leave in a hurry, but looked at Li Heng hesitantly: "Your Majesty, this matter of strictly investigating the assassin..."

Li Heng walked out of the bedroom and said coldly: "An assassin, he has some ability to sneak into the palace, but he is just one person after all, what clues can be found from him?"

The minister nodded and hurried away.

In a flash, the emperor's bedroom became empty again, and Ji Cheng opened his eyes expressionlessly again.

He was not pretending that he was not feeling well. This body was already sick. Just now, he had burst out his potential to kill the assassin neatly. In addition, the thing had stirred up in his sea of ​​consciousness a little earlier. It can be said that Ji Cheng's current state is a little worse than when he just went to the 3467th small world.

Of course, more importantly, he is in a very bad mood now.

In a world without the Internet, electricity, and fun, he still needs to complete tasks to complete his life counterattack - although it seems that this route is very simple at present: first kill the regent Li Heng, and then kill the powerful country Beixia in the north, and basically his mission is completed.

It's as simple as putting an elephant in the refrigerator.

But he is just unhappy: these people held a banquet and didn't invite him? !

And when His Royal Highness is unhappy, he will want to make trouble. If he wants to make trouble, some people will be unlucky.

The group of bastards in the heavens are far away in the upper realm and can't be dealt with, then he will deal with this world.

Ji Cheng lay on the bed and thought again and again, estimated the time, raised his hand and made a hand gesture.

——

A banquet was so unclear that it ended, and Li Heng was in a very bad mood.

He returned to the Regent's Mansion from the palace, and as soon as he entered, he asked the housekeeper: "Where is the prince?"

The housekeeper was about to answer, and a man came out from the corner with a faint smile on his face: "Father."

Li Heng looked at Li Yuzhi with a bad face, and said after a long while: "Come with me to the study."

Li Yuzhi was stunned, and then hurriedly followed Li Heng into the study of the palace.

As soon as the door of the study was closed, Li Heng asked directly: "Did you send the assassin who assassinated Li Ji?"

Li Yuzhi didn't expect Li Heng to ask this question, and after another pause, he nodded and admitted: "It's me, father, I thought that there would be a banquet at the Shangsi Palace today, and there would be many people at the palace gate, so it would not be difficult to get in. It just so happens that the little emperor is seriously ill now..."

Bang!

Li Heng threw a purple clay teapot to the ground: "You are really too arrogant! You acted on your own without me saying anything?!"

"Li Ji is the emperor after all. You are so bold to send people into his bedroom to assassinate him!"

However, facing Li Heng's rebuke, Li Yuzhi was quite righteous: "Father, you have your reasons for doing things, but in my opinion, you are too cautious and have not taken further steps!"

"Yes! Li Ji is the emperor, but everyone in the world knows that you have the final say in Daning now?" He argued, "Even if the little emperor is found dead in the bedroom, what if someone suspects it? Can't you take the opportunity to ascend the throne and completely secure the position of the Lord of Daning?"

"My son just wants to help my father take this step completely!"

Li Heng sneered: "-What if he is not dead?"
