When the man in black took the order and left, a man suddenly walked out of the dark corner.
"Whose handiwork do you think this time, Your Majesty? Such a clumsy method, in my opinion, does not belong to that person."
The man who spoke was already old enough to know his destiny. He reached out and stroked his goatee, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"So what if the means are clumsy? As long as they work well! They probably want to hold me back. It would be good if I could lock up my son for a few months."
Zong Zeming sneered, the method was indeed clumsy, but it did work!
"But why do I want to assassinate you again? This is a self-inflicted crime!"
The man is unknown. Doesn’t this overturn the previous plan?
"Perhaps he wanted to do nothing without resting. When he saw what had happened, he knew that he would not be able to survive, so he simply assassinated my son."
"Isn't it because the prince has been guarding the border all year round that he chose the poison from the Western Region? Based on this, it should not be difficult for you to obtain the poison from the Western Region. Therefore, this will confirm your crime."
Staff member Wen Zhongxing touched his beard and felt that this link was very cleverly designed.
"The former crown prince of Japan just entered the palace and told the emperor that his mother's birthday will be in two months and he wants to go back to the border to celebrate her birthday. This happened today."
Zong Zeming looked at the white jade brush washer in front of him with unclear meaning in his eyes.
"It's clear that I don't want you to go back to the border, but you said that the previous emperor agreed."
Wen Zhongxing hesitated to speak. The one who least wants the prince to return to the border now is the emperor, right?
"It doesn't look like his handiwork. Maybe someone else wants to provoke it and then reap the benefits!"
Zong Zeming sneered, these people are doing these conspiracies behind his back every day, do you think he doesn't know about it?
"I feel that the woman who assassinated the Crown Prince in the end may have been instigated by someone else again."
Wen Zhongxing thought for a moment and then said: "Under the circumstances, she could have escaped, but why did she want to assassinate her? Not only did she expose her identity, put herself in danger, but she also messed up her previous plan."
"But if her final plan was to assassinate my son, why didn't she do it before?" After Zong Zeming finished speaking, he began to think.
"Then maybe it was because she received the order late? There were many people watching the excitement at that time. Maybe her supervisor was hidden among those people. It is not surprising that she gave her the final order."
The more Wen Zhongxing thought about it, the more likely he felt it was possible, he pawed his hands and sighed.
Zong Zeming quickly closed his eyes and meditated, recalling the previous events in his mind, going through each suspicious person.
The first person to suspect was Su Yizhao. Even though she was helping him at the time, it didn't mean that she couldn't be the mastermind behind it. Maybe her purpose was to assassinate him?
But in the end, the image of Su Yizhao rushing toward him flashed through his mind, and he put down his doubts again.
After thinking about it, he suddenly opened the door of the study and said to Xiao Juzi outside the door: "Let Commander Wu come to see my prince!"
"Has the prince thought of anyone suspicious?" Wen Zhongxing asked quickly.
"Ahem!" Zong Zeming was about to speak, but his throat felt itchy and he coughed twice.
"Your Majesty, you still have to take care of your health and don't work too hard!"
This body was poisoned when it was born from the mother's womb. I don't know if it can be cured!
Wen Zhongxing couldn't help but sigh when he thought of Zong Zeming's situation.
Zong Zeming waved his hand, gasped, and then said: "It doesn't matter!"
"Your Majesty!" Commander Wu stepped forward and bowed his hands in salute.
"You remember the guards who came into contact with those two people, right? Arrest them and interrogate them properly."
Seeing the cold expression on the prince's face, Commander Wu paused and then said: "Your Majesty! Just when I was about to report my humble position to you, the governor wanted to rob us of people, which delayed us for a while. Finally, on the way back to the palace, he found the woman
People actually died of poisoning."
Zong Zeming's face immediately darkened, "You know how important this woman is. I have said that no matter whether the governor will go to the emperor to complain, you just snatch her away."
Sensing the prince's displeasure, Commander Wu quickly confessed.
"It's an act of neglect due to a humble duty. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
Commander Wu prostrated himself on the ground. He did things poorly and ruined the prince's affairs.
"Go and arrest those guards for interrogation. They must investigate them carefully. Your dereliction of duty will be dealt with later!"
Zong Zeming glanced at Commander Wu with some suspicion and inquiry in his eyes.
Commander Wu's expression changed drastically. He gritted his teeth and said, "I just realized that something was wrong. I came back to the house to count the number of people, and found that there was actually one missing guard. It was the person who was arguing with the man, named Wang Zhou."
"Haha! You didn't come to report until now?"
Zong Zeming turned to look at Commander Wu, with a slight smile on his face, but his eyes were very cold.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!" Commander Wu had sweat stains on his forehead. It was indeed his dereliction of duty to let the woman die.
"Hey! Your Majesty, please calm down. The incident happened suddenly. Commander Wu probably did not expect it to happen like this. The most urgent task is to come up with a proper explanation. The Emperor will probably summon you to the palace later."
When Wen Zhongxing saw this, he knew that the prince was angry. It was normal to say that the guard had not thought about it, but Commander Wu was definitely to blame for the woman's death!
"Your Majesty! Mr. Su Wenzhou, the Imperial Academy's Attendant, and the Fourth Master of the Su Mansion are here to visit!" Xiao Juzi suddenly reported outside the door.
Zong Zeming glanced at Commander Wu who was kneeling on the ground, and coldly snorted: "Go and receive your punishment!"
After he finished speaking, he strode out of the study. Commander Wu, who was kneeling behind him, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Mr. Wen, for rescuing the siege!" Commander Wu saluted Wen Zhongxing and thanked him sincerely.
"Commander Wu, this is a shame for me! You have followed the prince for many years and have long been his confidant. In fact, today the prince is just borrowing a donkey, so how can he be willing to punish you severely?"
Wen Zhongxing shook his head, everyone said that the prince had a perverse and changeable temperament, but in fact the prince still looked after his subordinates.
In all these years, have these subordinates and slaves ever been severely punished by the Crown Prince?
"Please go to the side hall to serve tea!" Zong Zeming turned to Xiao Juzi and ordered.
"The servant has already asked people to wait in the side hall!"
This man's son is in his own house, so he has no reason not to invite him in!
No matter how unreliable this father is, his son will still want him!
"Is Su Yizhao awake?" The prince suddenly thought of the unconscious Su Yizhao and asked.
"I just woke up, but my body is still very weak. According to your instructions, I still asked Dr. Yang to take his pulse, saying that the rest can only rely on nourishment and rest."
As Xiao Juzi spoke, he looked at his master's face and felt a little confused.
The imperial physician in the palace was not invited, but Dr. Yang from Hui Chun Hall was invited. Could it be that Dr. Yang was more skilled in medicine than the imperial physician?
And ever since Mr. Su was brought back to the mansion, the prince has taken good care of him and never taken advantage of others. This has never happened before.
Isn't this level of care a little too much?
Su Yizhao's face suddenly flashed through Xiao Juzi's mind. This child was very good-looking, especially his eyes, which were indescribably good-looking.
Although she is skinny, she has a good face! She looks likeable.
