The biggest thing in the capital was that an assassin broke into the palace in broad daylight to assassinate the emperor, and almost succeeded. Fortunately, the fifth prince was with the emperor at the time and blocked the emperor's knife at the critical moment.
The imperial doctor said that the fifth prince's knife hit his vital part and was almost lifeless. If the fifth prince had not blocked the emperor's knife, the emperor would have been killed on the spot, instead of just being frightened like now.
Broken arm.
The imperial doctors were busy treating the fifth prince, while the guards were busy catching the assassin. Seeing that the assassin failed, he turned around and left. The palace masters did not even take down a single corpse, let alone alive, and watched helplessly.
The assassin leaves.
An assassin entered the palace in the clear day and killed him again. This was definitely a big deal. Not only would the guards on duty that day be unlucky, but even Yan Qing, who was in charge of the safety of the imperial city, would also suffer.
The emperor was furious and ordered the leader of the royal guards and the commander of the imperial guards to go to the palace to face the emperor, giving them three days to arrest the murderer and ten days to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.
So, the city gate, which had only been open for a few days, was closed again and could not be reopened until three days later.
After Yan Qing returned to the city to learn about the situation, the first thing he did was to order his guards to go to various pharmacies and pharmacies to check if there were any patients with stab wounds and if anyone bought any medicine for trauma.
Although the assassins successfully escaped, they were injured. One of the assassins was stabbed in the abdomen. If not treated in time, his life would be at risk. Yan Qing sent people to various medical clinics in the streets and alleys. As soon as patients with external injuries came to the door, they would be sent immediately.
People follow.
The capital was in turmoil. Following the Xu Yuan case, the people and dignitaries in the capital once again felt the coming storm.
Officials arrested and arrested people everywhere, not to mention the people in the city, even the Donglin Academy in the suburbs was deeply affected. Students in groups of three or three sat around and talked about the assassination of the Holy Emperor.
Of course, they did not dare to make random guesses about who the murderer was. They only said how dangerous this incident was and how loyal and filial the fifth prince was, sacrificing himself at the critical moment to save the Holy Driver.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the public opinion was almost one-sided, and the fifth prince was praised to the heavens.
Gu Chengyi stayed away from the crowd. Hearing these people keep mentioning the fifth prince, Gu Chengyi couldn't help but frown. He hated the fifth prince.
Gu Chengyi's father was a concubine of the Gu family and had a bad relationship with Concubine Gu. Concubine Gu also looked down on their third wife. Similarly, the fifth prince also looked down on the people in the third wife, including Gu Chengyi.
The fifth prince always supported Gu Chengzhi when he was young. If it weren't for the prince's support, how could Gu Chengzhi dare to bully Gu Chengyi even more?
Hearing these people constantly praising the fifth prince, Gu Chengyi really wanted to step forward and tell them that the fifth prince was not as great as they thought. The fifth prince was just a bad guy who bullied his sister. But...
cannot!
The other party is a prince, not someone he can mess with. It's okay for him not to say good things about the fifth prince, but he can't say bad things about the fifth prince.
Gu Chengyi felt depressed. Fortunately, because of the quiz, the students in the academy did not talk to him very much and tried their best to ignore his existence. Otherwise, these people would definitely come up to him to get close to him in order to inquire about the fifth prince.
Speaking of this quiz of Donglin Academy, we have to say the good intentions of His Highness King Qin. The quiz questions of Donglin Academy are set by the layman Xian Yin, and the academy will submit the excellent papers to the layman Xian Yin for review. Among them are
A thoughtful paper.
The layman Xian Yin selected Gu Chengyi's paper from among them and invited Gu Chengyi to explain it to him personally.
Gu Chengyi's answer was not the best, but he had this honor. I don't know how many people in the academy were jealous of him, but no matter how jealous they were, there was nothing they could do about it. After the Xianyin monk finished instructing Gu Chengyi, he left gracefully. They wanted to hug him.
Nope either.
Gu Chengyi didn't want to talk to the group of people outside about the fifth prince, so he locked himself in the room. Even dinner was brought in until Jing Yan came to see him.
"Brother Jing Yan, are you looking for me?" Gu Chengyi put down his hand and stood up to greet him.
Jing Yan was wearing a red red coat, his face was a bit pale, and his steps were much heavier than usual. However, Gu Chengyi was not a martial artist and did not notice this abnormality.
"Chengyi, do you still have the medicine your sister gave you?" Jing Yan spoke, his voice unable to contain his weakness. Gu Chengyi frowned, "Brother Jing Yan, what's wrong with you?"
"Chengyi, your sister didn't tell you. Do you want to interfere as little as possible with my affairs?" Jing Yan put his left hand on his abdomen and stood leaning on the table, with no intention of sitting down.
"But if you ask me to borrow something, I won't dare to give it to you until you explain clearly." Gu Chengyi sniffed, and he seemed to smell the smell of blood.
"Chengyi, your brother Jing Yan will not harm you." Jing Yan remained gentle, but Gu Chengyi felt something was wrong and wanted to ask, but when he saw Jing Yan's deep and complicated eyes, Gu Chengyi did not dare to speak and obediently said
The medicine was given to Jing Yan.
"Good boy, this inkstone is good, you can keep it for use." At some point, Jing Yan placed a pure mud inkstone on Gu Chengyi's table. The meaning was very obvious, that is: he was here to give an inkstone to Gu Chengyi.
Instead of taking any medicine, Chengyi can't let it slip.
Gu Chengyi nodded honestly and thought to himself: Sister Qiancheng is indeed right. Brother Jing Yan is really too dangerous. I'd better stay away from him in the future.
Jing Yan returned to the house and locked the doors and windows, fell down on the chair, lowered his head, and saw his left hand stained with blood. Jing Yan smiled bitterly, "Gu Qiancheng, I hope your medicine is effective, otherwise I will really have to go to Heyi
Father is here to keep you company."
Jing Yan untied his coat tremblingly...
No one would have thought that the assassin who assassinated the emperor was actually Jing Yan, who was as famous as Feng Sijin, and no one would have thought that the assassin who assassinated the emperor would be hiding in Donglin Academy.
Gu Chengyi was aware of it, but in the end he didn't say anything. He went to class and studied his books as usual, which satisfied the person who was secretly monitoring Gu Chengyi.
If Gu Chengyi had the idea of reporting, he would never have the chance to say it. After all, it is not that difficult to kill a half-year-old boy unexpectedly.
In the palace, where the fifth prince was, the imperial doctors and maids came in and out, and basins of blood were brought out. Concubine Gu's tears didn't stop, but she didn't cry out. She just wept silently. There was so much to say about that look.
How pitiful it is.
The queen took one look and moved away, secretly thinking that there was a reason why Concubine Gu had been favored for so many years.
Concubine Gu is beautiful, bright and moving, fresh and bright, which is the beauty that the emperor likes.
Concubine Gu is stupid, arrogant and arrogant, but she is just the kind of stupidity the emperor wants.
But Gu Guifei also has eyes, such as this moment.
If it were any concubine, if her son's life and death were unknown to save the emperor, he would definitely cry and ask the emperor to promise a favor, but Gu Guifei did not.
Concubine Gu not only did not burst into tears, but she also comforted the emperor, saying that it was the fifth prince's duty to rescue him, so that the emperor did not have to worry, as the fifth prince would be fine with the emperor's protection.
However, it was not that Concubine Gu was not sad. On the contrary, she was so distraught that she seemed to be in a daze as if she could not hold on. However, she sat there firmly, waiting for the news from the imperial doctor without crying or fussing. She was so sensible that it made people feel heartbroken...
The queen knew that Concubine Gu would return to her favor again, and even the fifth prince would be promoted to a higher level because of it!
