Chapter 515 Meeting an Old Man in the Heart of the Lake
"assassin?"
Di Luoxi was still a little suspicious. She knew that Long Chen was full of tricks and what he told might not be the truth.
Long Chen gently untied the gauze, and it was filled with scars and holes pierced by gold hairpins.
"Li Chengdao was really willing to spend money and actually sent the Sixth Princess Li Yunji."
Long Chen pointed at Li Yunji who was lying next to the tub.
Di Luoxi stepped forward and took a look, then turned back and said, "You don't look right."
Long Chen said: "She had plastic surgery and she looked like Concubine Yue. Is that true? Take the body back for examination."
After confirming that Long Chen was here to catch the assassin, Di Luoxi completely calmed down her anger.
"Why did you come alone when there was an assassin? You are so injured! Whose blood does this belong to?"
The brocade quilt was completely soaked in blood and looked very scary.
Long Chen smiled miserably: "Mine was poisoned and had holes all over his body."
Xuan Yi, Qing Yue, and Zhang Qian came upstairs and were frightened when they saw Long Chen's appearance.
"Xiao Longlong, what's wrong with you? Why are you bleeding so much?"
"Quickly tell the doctor, go to the hospital!"
"Sir, you..."
Di Luoxi looked at Zhang Qian and cursed: "I asked you to protect Long Chengen, look at what has happened now, what use do you have!"
Zhang Qian blamed herself, lowered her head and said: "The general will be guilty in the end!"
Long Chen immediately explained: "Don't blame her, it was me who insisted not to follow her."
"I received news that Li Chengdao sent an important spy. This person is in Wangqing Pavilion, but I don't know who it is."
"I found He Wenbai and Hu Zhiheng and asked them to cooperate with me in sneaking into Wangqing Pavilion."
"The assassin was found, but he was almost killed by the assassin. It was such a close call."
"I also have to thank my boss Yueniang. She discovered it in time and treated my injuries and saved me."
Yueniang hurriedly bowed: "Don't dare, don't dare, it's all my fault for letting the Nanliang assassin sneak in."
Di Luoxi was worried about Long Chen's injury and was too lazy to argue with these people.
"Just bear with it."
Di Luoxi hugged Long Chen, kicked the window to pieces, jumped directly from the fourth floor, landed on the horse, and immediately rode back to the palace and headed to the Imperial Hospital.
Zhang Qian jumped down immediately and followed on horseback back to the palace.
Xuan Yi removed the curtain and rolled up Li Yunji's body. Qingyue rolled up the maid's body, carried it downstairs, and then rode back to the palace.
The guests downstairs couldn't figure out what was going on, so they all came to ask Yueniang.
Yueniang apologized and said that Wangqing Pavilion will be closed for half a month, so please leave.
Di Luoxi quickly entered the imperial hospital, and the imperial doctor ordered Dong Ping to come over quickly for treatment.
After diagnosing the pulse, Dong Ping said: "Sir, you are in great danger. You are poisoned by the bone-crushing poison unique to Nanliang. This poison is mixed with two kinds of incense, which can make people's bones soften and lose their ability to resist."
Di Luoxi asked anxiously: "How are you now?"
Dong Ping checked the injuries again and asked: "Sir, what medicine did you take? It's so miraculous? The poison in the bones has been resolved, and the injuries to the internal organs have healed as well?"
Long Chen said: "The old madam from Wangqing Pavilion took out a pill and gave it to me, and it made me feel much better. She should be afraid of being implicated and spending a lot of money."
Dong Ping nodded and said: "It must be a wonderful medicine, it's a shame she is willing to give it up."
Di Luoxi cursed bitterly: "If you encounter assassins in her Wangqing Pavilion, if they can't be cured, kill them all!"
Dong Ping apologized and did not dare to speak.
"I didn't expect that Li Chengdao hated me so much that she even sent her own daughter to assassinate me."
Long Chen shook his head and sighed.
Long Chen really didn't expect that Li Yunji would be sent.
The majestic Princess of Nanliang is actually willing to be an assassin and is still lurking in a place like Wangqing Pavilion.
"The Holy One has arrived."
Before Di Luoxi could say anything else, Yingfeng's voice came from outside the door, and the empress walked in quickly.
The imperial doctor ordered Dong Ping to visit him in a hurry, and all the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital also came to visit him.
"Mother, Xiao Longlong was almost killed by an assassin."
When Di Luoxi saw the empress, she immediately complained.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am inconvenient to welcome you."
Long Chen's whole body ached and he really couldn't get up.
The empress sat beside the bed and said, "No need, let me take a look."
The empress checked Long Chen's pulse and said: "You can only say you were lucky this time. The bone poison and the golden hairpin pierced the internal organs. Without that good medicine, you would be dead."
The empress knew the extent of the injury at a glance.
Long Chen felt strange. He said he had taken good medicine, but what good medicine could Yueniang have in her hands?
"Who is the assassin?"
the empress asked.
Long Chen replied: "Li Yunji, the Sixth Princess of Nanliang, said it herself that she came to me to avenge the murder of her husband."
The empress frowned and said, "Are you seeking revenge for Shangguan Xiu?"
Everyone knows about the engagement between Li Yunji and Shangguanxiu.
Long Chen nodded and said: "Yes, that's what she said."
The empress said with shame: "You killed Shangguan Xiu because you were fighting for the country. Because of the state affairs, you were killed. I am ashamed of you."
Long Chen hurriedly said: "It is our duty to serve the country, and the Holy One is serious in his words."
The empress ordered: "The imperial doctor ordered that Long Chen be here to recuperate from his injuries. You must use the best medicine to make sure that he is completely cured."
Dong Ping bowed and said: "I obey the order."
The empress got up and left the Imperial Hospital, where Di Luoxi stayed with Long Chen.
The empress returned to Fengming Palace and asked, "What happened last night?"
Yingfeng replied: "This matter was done very secretly, and Wei Chen did not find out."
The empress said: "Long Chen found out, but you didn't find out?"
According to Long Chen, Feng He found clues and Long Chen went to investigate.
Yingfeng replied truthfully: "I am incompetent, but it is difficult to tell whether Long Chen's words are true or false. We cannot make a conclusion until the identity of the assassin is confirmed."
The empress nodded and said: "That's right. This guy is full of tricks. You go to the Ministry of Punishments to do an autopsy."
Yingfeng left Fengming Palace and went to the Criminal Department.
Xuan Yi and Qing Yue took the body to the Ministry of Justice for inspection, while Zhang Qian stayed with her at the Imperial Hospital.
When Wu Jian heard that Long Chen had been assassinated, he immediately took Dugu Jiali and the Wu sisters, Bai Tingting, into the palace to visit.
When Bai Tingting saw that Long Chen was assassinated, she didn't go to Nanda Camp to train, so she stayed in the big hospital.
The body arrived at the Ministry of Punishment, and after verification of identity, it was determined to be that of Li Yunji.
Yingfeng immediately reported the news to the empress.
The empress was very surprised. As a mother, it was difficult for her to understand that Li Chengdao actually sent his daughter as an assassin.
This incident also sounded the alarm to the empress. Li Chengdao would do anything to kill Long Chen.
The empress ordered Yingfeng to contact Feng He, and Yingwei and Xichang took action together to investigate Li Yunji's affairs thoroughly and dig out the secrets of the Imperial City Division in the capital.
The news that Li Chengdao sent his own daughter, the Sixth Princess, to assassinate Long Chen quickly spread throughout the capital, as well as Xixia and Nanliang, and the whole world was in an uproar.
Of course Li Chengdao would not admit it, saying that this was Dazhou's conspiracy and deliberately talking nonsense.
Anyway, Li Yunji had plastic surgery, and Li Chengdao would never admit that she was his daughter until his death.
....
Nanliang, Jinling, Imperial Palace.
Li Chengdao was sitting in the royal study room, and the third prince Li Yuanying stood beside him, standing with his hands down, not daring to show his dignity.
"Failed again..."
Li Chengdao looked at the memorial expressionlessly and said coldly.
Li Yuanying was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down: "My son is incompetent!"
Li Chengdao did not look at Li Yuanying and asked coldly: "Can you confirm his identity?"
Li Yuanying replied: "It happened suddenly and there is no news."
Li Yunji confirmed Long Chen's true identity in the room at that time, but Li Yunji was distracted and thought that Long Chen would definitely die, so he tortured him slowly and did not pass on the news.
The maid did not expect that things would turn around, nor did she deliver the news in time.
This time the operation was a complete failure.
Li Chengdao waved his hand, and Li Yuanying got up, bowed and exited the imperial study.
Li Chengdao leaned on the chair and looked at a painting on the wall, which was the portrait of his father's concubine Yue Fei.
After looking at it for a long time, Li Chengdao took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and stared at it for a long time.
This is Li Yunji's jade pendant.
"Long Chengen, Long Chengen..."
Li Chengdao closed his eyes, murmured to himself, and kept reading...
"Someone is coming!"
Eunuch Zhong Gui hurriedly came in and said, "I'm here, my servant."
Li Chengdao opened his eyes and his gaze became sharp: "Call the third prince over!"
