915 Legendary Life 16.0

During the process of worshiping the sky and ancestors, the attack of His Majesty the Emperor can be said to be a devastating blow that shocked the entire court, which would cause all over the Xijing to be in panic. In order not to allow this panic to spread in Xijing, Emperor Jiaren and Emperor Chongde strictly ordered that no one would be allowed to leak the news, otherwise they would be severely punished.

Fortunately, those who could come out to worship the sky and worship ancestors were extremely clear-headed human spirits, and would not cause trouble for themselves at such critical moments, especially the royal princes. It was obvious that Emperor Jiaren and Emperor Chongde were really angry and were so honest that they didn't dare to say anything that the two said was, and they didn't dare to say a word of refutation.

Fortunately, except for King Tong, everyone including Emperor Jiaren and Emperor Chongde were slightly injured, which was a great blessing in disgrace.

But the situation in the palace was not particularly optimistic. It was almost half burned by the fire, and it was devastated. It felt very sad to look at it.

Emperor Jiaren and Emperor Chongde discussed it and both of them felt that it was not safe and convenient to continue living here. Instead of making do with it here, it would be better for everyone to move to the mountain to live.

There is a Huangding Temple on the mountain. It is more than enough to accommodate such a hundred people, but the layout of the room is not so comfortable, but there is no problem with safety. Don’t worry about any assassins coming uninvited.

"Hmm?" Jin Miaomiao looked at Shen Cha curiously, "The little masters of Huangding Temple are very good at kung fu?"

"Well, they are not only very good at kung fu, but also very powerful in formation. Once they find an invader, they will not leave alive." Shen Cha nodded, "The proposal of Emperor Jiaren and Emperor Chongde has been supported by everyone. Early in the morning of the second day of the assassination, the group carried the necessary carry-on luggage and went to Huangding Mountain under the escort of the guards."

"Where is Tong Wang? How is his situation? Isn't it serious?"

"After one night, Tong Wang had woken up. Although the knife was deeply stabbed, it did not hurt his muscles and bones. It was just a skin injury. It would be fine if he kept quietly for two days. Emperor Chongde kept him all night and his face was dark until he woke up. Tong Wang was placed on a soft couch, carried by four guards, and went up the mountain together at the end of the team. Emperor Chongde did not follow Emperor Jiaren, but continued to be with Tong Wang. The two chatted softly all the way, but they were not so bored."

"Is the process of worshiping the heavens and ancestors still going smoothly?"

"Smooth." Shen Cha nodded, "Except for the assassination on the first day, there was no other unsuccessful place. They were worried that there would be a second assassination on the way back to Beijing, but the assassin did not appear again."

"As soon as Emperor Jiaren returned to Beijing, he handed over the assassination case to Emperor Chongde and King Tong for investigation. However, he knew very well that this assassin was not the work of his mother. The secret guards trained by the empress dowager's family were less than half as good as those of the assassin. Emperor Jiaren himself said that if the assassin tried his best, none of the people who went to Huangding Mountain would come back alive." Song Qiyun sighed softly, "However, although he agreed with Emperor Jiaren's words, Emperor Chongde and King Tong chose to be the first to ask the old lady. In their opinion, the old lady was very suspicious, but she was a person with a criminal record and might be able to ask something useful from her mouth."

"What's the result? It should be a failure, right? The person behind the scenes has always been mysterious and does not play according to common sense. The old lady probably won't know their background."

"That's right." Song Qiyun nodded, "Because of the previous blockade news, the old lady didn't even know that they were assassinated. Hearing Emperor Chongde and King Tong told the story of that night, the old lady was very surprised."

"Surprised?" Jin Miaomiao raised her eyebrows, "If Emperor Jiaren, Emperor Chongde, King Tong and the royal family were killed by the assassination this time, wouldn't her plan succeed? How could she not be happy when this hit her mind?"

"Emperor Chongde asked the same question." Chen Cha smiled helplessly, "The relationship between this family is so sad. Neither of them is sincere, they are all false, and the old lady and her son, grandson, and even false."

"This is probably a common problem in the last dynasty. Ordinary people's uneasy family will lead to the destruction of their families, let alone the imperial family!"

"You're right." Jin Miaomiao nodded at Chen Cha, "But they should be like us, and they can't find out anything, right?"

"After investigating for half a month, nothing was found. Emperor Jiaren also knew that this was a difficult situation. Those who could doubt it had investigated in detail, but they did not have subordinates as powerful as those of the assassin around them, so they could only leave it alone and become a unsolved case. There was no real result until Emperor Chongde and King Tong passed away."

"It's obvious." Jin Miaomiao raised her eyebrows, "So, what happened later?"

"At the New Year's palace banquet, a censor suggested that Emperor Chongde and King Tong were very old and should move out of the palace. Moreover, the two of them should not live together again, but should open houses separately."

"It actually makes sense to hear this. After all, brothers must live separately, and it is impossible for them to live together forever."

"Emperor Chongde and King Tong knew that this was natural. They had no reason to object, so they could only agree. However, Emperor Jiaren knew that they had a good relationship, so he specially arranged two mansions next to each other. They could open a small door on the wall and enter and exit freely."

"It seems that Emperor Jiaren really regards King Tong as his son. I hope they both live a better life."

"Well, there are not many days to go smoothly. As soon as the two of them moved, something happened to the Zhen family."

"Zhen family? That prospective crown princess?"

"Yes!" Chen Cha nodded, "Teacher Zhen suddenly became seriously ill and passed away. The prospective princess must keep mourning for three years."

"Isn't this very normal?" Jin Miaomiao frowned, "Is Emperor Jiaren unhappy?"

"It was the old lady who saw the opportunity and wanted to use this as an excuse to destroy the engagement and wanted to arrange for her to marry Emperor Chongde."

"That's it!" Jin Miaomiao patted her legs hard, and the force was a little too big and a little hurt. "I always thought something was wrong. I vaguely remember that when Emperor Chongde was in poor health, I heard you say before that Miss Zhen was well-educated and well-informed, and I felt very strange. She thought she was not the kind of person who poisoned Emperor Chongde. Sure enough, something happened. Was she really broken off the engagement?"
