"How could it be? There are so many guards and secret guards in the palace that it's hard for that person to fly!"
Su Yizhao only felt strange. Why did she feel that no one else knew about this matter?
With such a big thing happening, it stands to reason that those ministers should have received the news and arrived long ago!
"The Emperor has not made any announcement about this matter. After all, the Emperor's dragon body has not been well recently, and there has been some turmoil in the court. If we learn that someone is planning an assassination again, wouldn't it encourage those people's thoughts again?"
Xu Luo sighed deeply as he spoke, "The Emperor is in trouble!"
Su Yizhao murmured in his heart that since he felt powerless, he should have established a prince as early as possible. Wouldn't it be better for a prince to supervise the army and assist the country than to do everything personally for the emperor?
But why did the emperor summon her to assassinate him? She was not an imperial physician.
Thinking of Jiang Yongnian, Su Yizhao sighed a little, fearing that the emperor would keep her for a long time and miss the time to say goodbye to Jiang Yongnian.
The carriage drove directly in front of the emperor's palace. Su Yizhao got off the carriage and was taken to the emperor's palace.
As soon as she entered, she saw the emperor's hands hanging around his neck, wrapped in gauze, and his face was a little pale.
"Your Majesty Su Yizhao respectfully wishes His Majesty's blessing!"
"Ping Sheng!" The emperor's voice sounded a little tired, perhaps because he had been tortured by the assassination in the middle of the night.
"When I heard that Your Majesty was assassinated, I was extremely frightened and worried. I wonder how the imperial doctor would diagnose it?"
The emperor waved his hand after hearing this, "It's nothing serious, I just injured my arm and it will take some time to recuperate."
"Then I can rest assured, but the damage to your dragon body is not a trivial matter. Have you caught that rampant assassin? We must ask Mr. Kang to interrogate him strictly and find out the mastermind behind the scenes."
"The assassin ran away." The emperor took a deep look at Su Yizhao, his eyes a little incomprehensible.
"How can we let him escape? The palace is heavily guarded, and he might still be in the palace. If we don't catch him, there will be endless troubles!"
Su Yizhao felt that the emperor's attitude was really strange. Why did she feel that the emperor was not interested?
It stands to reason that after the assassination, the emperor would definitely be furious.
"That man can climb over walls and climb over walls. He has already run away. I have already sent people to strengthen the guard."
Su Yizhao suddenly thought of Sheng Lanqing who had disappeared. Could it be him?
"How is the investigation of the arms reselling here recently?" the emperor suddenly asked.
Su Yizhao hurriedly said: "We are investigating, and we have found out the channels for communication between the capital and the border. However, this matter is also involved in other matters. It is related to outside the border. I am leading the snake out of the hole, hoping to unplug the conspiracy that has been hidden for many years with the court."
I believe Kang Shiwen should have reported this matter to the emperor. Why did the emperor come to ask her?
Shouldn't he rest immediately after being frightened by the assassination this early in the morning?
"Very good! Get this matter done as soon as possible. I shudder when I think of those detailed works that have been hidden in the court for many years and have even become high-ranking officials in the temple."
"The net is being closed and the progress is going smoothly." Su Yizhao replied respectfully.
"Well! I actually have one more thing I want you to check." The emperor hesitated for a moment and then said.
"Your Majesty, it's all at your command!"
"Okay! Do you know about the rebellion of the Sheng family during the late emperor's time?"
Su Yizhao's heartbeat accelerated slightly, "I have read relevant books, but I don't know much about it."
"Speaking of the Sheng family, we can only blame them for bringing it upon themselves. Back then, my father was extremely tolerant of them, but people were so dissatisfied. As soon as the country stabilized, the Sheng family tried to usurp the throne."
Su Yizhao nodded, as if he was listening attentively.
"It's a pity that my aunt, the eldest princess, was burned alive in the princess mansion because of the Sheng family's involvement."
The emperor sighed as he spoke, "Originally, many years have passed since this incident, and I didn't want to mention it. But recently, I learned that there are still remnants of the Sheng family alive."
"What? I don't know who it is?" Su Yizhao asked in surprise.
"I don't know! But someone has recently reported that the remnants of the Sheng family have colluded with the court. I just want you to find out about this matter and eradicate the remnants as soon as possible to stabilize the court."
"The emperor was assassinated today, is it related to the remnants of the Sheng family?" Su Yizhao suddenly asked.
The emperor pondered for a moment, and then said: "I don't know! But that person used a nine-section whip, so I have some doubts. You don't know, the Sheng family is good at martial arts, and the head of the Sheng family used to use the nine-section whip to achieve perfection."
"So the emperor suspected that he was a descendant of the Sheng family?" Su Yizhao thought thoughtfully.
"Yes!" The emperor nodded, "That's why I asked you to dig out the remaining evildoers."
"But I know very little about what happened back then. Even if I wanted to look for it, I wouldn't be able to start!"
"I allow you to access the files of the Third Division. You can just go with the token."
As the emperor spoke, he yawned greatly and looked obviously mentally exhausted.
"This matter must be done secretly. Dali Temple Qing Kang Shiwen can help you."
As the emperor spoke, he ordered Su Yizhao to retreat. He was really tired.
Su Yizhao sat in the carriage and pondered. If it was really Sheng Lanqing who assassinated the emperor, would the emperor be so calm?
Is it because he is afraid that people will know that Sheng Lanqing is still alive and wants to keep it a secret? But what is the operation of letting people run away?
Also, even if she was asked to investigate this matter, why was she so eager?
The assassin was not in a hurry when he ran away, but he was quite anxious when he looked back.
What is the purpose of the emperor asking her to investigate this matter? Could it be that the emperor has begun to doubt her?
Su Yizhao had countless thoughts running through his mind, and the emperor's thoughts had become increasingly elusive recently.
"Master! The horse has been brought for you."
This was the voice of the attendant rang outside the carriage. Su Yizhao got out of the carriage, got on the horse and ran wildly.
The pier was on the outskirts of the city, and she headed all the way out of the city towards the southern suburbs.
"Nian'er, this is your decision. My father can only send you here. If you regret it, just write back and say it."
Jiang Yudong looked a little exhausted mentally and physically as he looked at his eldest son, whom he was most proud of.
Mrs. Liu couldn't help crying. Her son was about to leave for a long distance. He would be away for at least three years. She couldn't help but miss him so much that she became ill?
"My parents are here, so I won't travel far! My son is being unfilial."
Jiang Yongnian took a step back and bowed to his parents.
"The ship is about to sail, so we can't miss the time."
The steward on the boat shouted towards the river. Jiang Yongnian glanced around, but there was no sign of Su Yizhao.
After all, Su Yizhao didn't come to see him off. Although he said before that he didn't have to come, he was still a little disappointed in the end.
"We're on board, you can take care of yourself!" Jiang Yudong sighed, unable to leave.
"Master! We are about to board the ship. We must not miss the auspicious time to sail."
Jiang Yongnian saluted his parents again, and then stepped onto the deck with three steps.
"If you feel good at home, then come back." Mrs. Liu, with tears in her eyes, waved goodbye to her eldest son.
The ship started, but Jiang Yongnian stood on the deck and still did not return to the cabin. He couldn't help but burst into tears when he looked at his parents' figures on the shore.
There was a sound of horse hooves heading towards the shore quickly. When Su Yizhao arrived, he happened to see the ship sailing away from the shore.
"Brother Zichen! I was delayed for something, so I'm late!"
Su Yizhao waved to the boat, and the horses arrived at the shore just in time, but the boat had already left the shore.
