Yu Wenhao was woken up by people from Jingzhao Mansion in the middle of the night. He carefully put on his clothes and went out without disturbing Yuan Qingling, who was sleeping deeply.
When he learned that King Qi had been assassinated, he first ordered people to block the city gate and conduct a strict search.
Then he took Xu Yitangyang and Cao Yuyi and rode straight to the annex of Prince Qi's Mansion.
King Qi was seriously injured, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he still had one breath left. Someone had already entered the palace to ask the eighth prince for the Purple Gold Pill, but they had not returned yet.
Yuan Yongyi stood beside the bed injured, crying until her tears were gone. King Qi lay on the bed like a lifeless doll, and the hot water used to clean the wound came in and turned into blood.
His breathing seemed to be gone. If it weren't for his pulse, there would be almost no sign of life.
"Your Majesty," Dr. Cao pulled him out with a solemn expression, "King Qi was stabbed eight times, three on each hand and foot, one on his lower abdomen and chest, and the one on his chest was deviated from his heart. That's why he is alive now, but every time he was stabbed
Tou Gu, the situation is very pessimistic and there is nothing I can do. Should I invite the princess to come over?"
After hearing this, Yu Wenhao's heart sank, and without hesitation, he turned around and asked Xu Yi and Tang Yang to send Yuan Qing Ling over, and be sure to bring all the forbidden troops with him on the way.
The people who discovered the assassination were people from the patrol camp. They immediately went to the palace to report to the emperor, and also ordered people to go to Jingzhao Mansion, so the people on duty at Jingzhao Mansion could quickly inform Yu Wenhao.
But now, the people patrolling the city are still guarding the King Qi's courtyard to prevent any more assassins.
Yu Wenhao went to ask, "Have the assassins been caught? How many were there? What weapons were used?"
"Back to your lord, when I arrived, the assassin had already escaped, but it can be seen that the assassin used a scimitar, the horse was killed by an arrow, and none of the accompanying guards survived."
"Scimitar?" Yu Wenhao raised his furious eyes, remembering the puppet incident, the boss was besieging him in the house, and those people in the world used scimitars.
"That's right, there should be six or seven assassins, and all of them use scimitars." The patrolman defended the city.
"Have weapons been found at the scene?" Yu Wenhao asked.
"No, the killer retreated very quickly." Bingwei hesitated, "My lord, I have something to say in my humble position, but I don't know whether to say it or not."
"Say it!" Yu Wenhao's eyes flashed and he said.
Bingwei lowered his voice and said: "Beizi once drank several times with a coach from Prince Ji's Mansion. Tonight, Beizi saw a person, and his back looked exactly like him, but I'm not sure."
Yu Wenhao stared at him, "Is there anything special about this back?"
Bingwei said: "This man is hunched over, which is quite serious, but he is very good at Qing Gong. I have seen him use Qing Gong before."
"Hunchback?" Yu Wenhao narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment. Indeed, when he started doing it that day, there was a man with a hunchback. Not only was that man good at Qinggong, but he was also very good at lower body movements, and was especially good at chain kicks.
Are you from Prince Ji's Mansion?
If the eldest son takes action at this time, he is either crazy or eager to compete for the crown prince's position. After getting rid of the legitimate son, he, the eldest son, is left with the loudest voice.
But is this action faster?
Bingwei said: "My lord, I dare not tell the emperor this because of my humble position. I can only talk to you in private. After all, I am not sure about my humble position. As for whether your prince will inform the emperor or whether it needs to be verified again, please let your prince decide."
Yu Wenhao raised his hand to ask him to step back.
He looked at Tang Yang, who stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, someone from this humble position will keep an eye on him."
"Start at those who laugh at Hongchen." Yu Wenhao said coldly.
"Understood." Tang Yang turned around and left.
After a while, the emperor and empress came in person, bringing two purple golden elixirs.
When the queen saw King Qi like this, she cried so hard that even Emperor Ming Yuan turned red-eyed. In anger, she ordered Yu Wenhao to hunt down the assassin and bring him to justice, otherwise he would be dismissed from his post and investigated.
