Born to be a star? The abstinent prince dotes on her

Chapter 119 Assassination

Mu Ningyuan said in the letter that there was a guest at the Hunting Villa last night who attempted to assassinate the emperor.

In order to save the emperor, the eldest prince Chu Heng stood in front of the emperor and was injured.

The injury is quite serious.

The emperor is safe and sound.

All the assassins were killed, and strange totems were found on them. They should be the symbol of some organization or some identity.

Currently, the Dali Temple and the Imperial Guards are conducting a thorough investigation.

Upon hearing the news, Shen Yindi was completely shocked.

How could such a thing actually happen?

There is actually an assassin in such a heavily guarded hunting lodge.

That assassin is quite powerful!

In addition, because of the shock, Concubine Xian lost her "child" and had a miscarriage.

The emperor was furious about this.

This secret letter was two pages long. The matter was so serious that he had to explain it to them clearly.

The news of this matter has been kept secret for the time being. Otherwise, if it gets back to the imperial capital, it will probably cause panic among the people.

Shen Yindi was shocked for a short while before she calmed down.

She looked at Chu Yan, only to see that he was frowning slightly and pursing his lips. She wondered what he was thinking.

"Brother Yan, has anything like this ever happened when you went autumn hunting with them before?" Shen Yindi broke the silence.

Chu Yan collected his thoughts and nodded: "Yes, I have. In fact, when my father leaves the palace, the chances of being assassinated are greater. After all, there is more laxity outside than in the palace."

"No matter how tight the guards are, there will always be loopholes. Especially those assassins, since they decided to attack the king of a country, it must not be a spur of the moment. It must be a careful plan."

"There is at least a 30% success rate! Even if we can't kill the person directly, it's considered a success if we can seriously injure him!" Chu Yan's voice was low and his expression was somewhat solemn.

This time, my father is fine and the eldest prince is injured, which may change the situation.

"I wonder what the totem Lord Mu is talking about looks like? It shouldn't be from Da Chu."

After a while, Chu Yan's low voice sounded: "Maybe they are from Zhaoyue Country."

"Ah?" Shen Yindi exclaimed.

She remembered clearly that Zhaoyue was the country of his biological mother.

If he was someone from Zhaoyue Kingdom, the emperor would definitely vent his anger on him.

Especially the incident of Concubine Xian’s “miscarriage”.

The emperor dotes on her the most recently, so he must be looking forward to this child.

This move can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

On the one hand, it can solve the crisis of her fake pregnancy being discovered, and on the other hand, it can make the emperor even more angry and make him hate those assassins.

If we find out that they are indeed from Zhaoyue Country...

Then be prepared to be implicated.

"Have you seen that totem?"

"Yes, I saw it on the battlefield that year. It was on the bodies of the assassins of Zhaoyue Kingdom." Chu Yan told her truthfully.

Shen Yindi's face didn't look very good now.

So despicable!

Even though Chu Yan has already moved away from that vortex, these things can still affect him.

His mother is from Zhaoyue Country, and this identity can never be erased.

The false accusation against him has not yet been cleared.

Everything happened so suddenly.

"Let's not be anxious. Let's see how the situation develops next and then we can act accordingly! Don't worry. No matter what happens, I will face it with you." Shen Yindi held his hand and comforted him gently.

Chu Yan withdrew his thoughts, smiled, and held her hand in return.

"I'm not in a hurry, and I won't worry too much. I know you're here. No matter how bad the outcome is, it won't be worse than being unable to move and having red spots all over my face."

"Having already fallen into the quagmire, there is nothing that this king cannot accept."

Shen Yindi smiled and said, "It's best if you think so."

"Yeah, it can't be that bad."

"there is always a solution to a problem!"

Two people regained their confidence!

On the third day after the emperor was assassinated, they returned to the palace ahead of schedule, and ended this year's autumn hunting ahead of schedule.

Mu Ningyuan came to Chu Yan's side the night he returned.

Many words and many things are better said in person.

At this moment, the three of them were in the study together.

Mu Ningyuan told them every detail of the emperor's assassination attempt.

He also drew the assassin's totem and showed it to Chu Yan.

After seeing this, Chu Yan's heart sank.

Just as he had guessed before, this totem was indeed a unique totem of some special people in Zhaoyue Kingdom.

He thought that the emperor would surely know this fact soon.

"Those people obviously had a plan in advance and were lurking in the villa, waiting for an opportunity to act." Mu Ningyuan's expression was solemn.

"Is the emperor not injured at all?" Shen Yindi asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, the emperor is not injured at all."

"But the fact that Concubine Xian had a miscarriage made him furious. The imperial guards who were responsible for the safety of his bedroom and the commander of the imperial guards were all punished."

"There were also people who were punished with caning!" Mu Ningyuan explained everything.

"How is the eldest prince's injury?" Shen Yindi asked again.

"The injuries are serious, but not life-threatening. There are injuries to the shoulder and arm, and a knife cut to the back. It will probably be painful this time."

Shen Yindi touched his chin, thoughtfully.

Chu Yan didn't say anything either.

Mu Ningyuan didn't know what to say either, as they all had their own thoughts.

After a while, Shen Yindi broke the silence: "Now it seems that this eldest prince has made many great contributions!"

"Back then, he led the army to repel the Zhaoyue Kingdom's siege and rescued Chu Yan. This time, he almost risked his life to save the emperor!"

"I'm sure the Emperor must be very touched."

A sneer appeared on Shen Yindi's lips.

Chu Yan had also doubted him.

But I couldn't find anything related to him.

Mu Ningyuan also snorted coldly: "If everything is just a coincidence, then his luck is too good."

"Haven't you checked him?" Shen Yindi looked at Mu Ningyuan.

The people in the Dali Temple should all be experts in investigating cases.

Mu Ningyuan was a little frustrated: "I checked, but there are no clues."

"If these things are really related to the eldest prince, then the queen must be backing him up. There is no clue to be found."

Shen Yindi understood that the probability of obtaining useful information was too low.

For someone like them who was born in the deep palace and even became the queen, their methods must have been very clever.

Since I'm going to do it, I'll definitely clear myself of all blame.

"Lord Mu, why don't you check out that man named Meng Shizhao. Starting with him, perhaps you will gain something." Shen Yindi suddenly remembered this matter.

A hint of surprise flashed across Mu Ningyuan's eyes.

"Meng Shizhao? The Queen's nephew?" He immediately thought of his identity.

"Yes, I heard from Chu Yan that he has been doing business in Jiangnan, so he should know a lot of people. He can do a lot of things."

Shen Yindi said with a smile.

She told him about the gentle land again.

Mu Ningyuan's eyes lit up: "Okay, then I'll send someone to investigate Meng Shizhao."

If you can't find anything in one direction, then the best way is to change direction.

Mu Ningyuan stayed with Chu Yan for more than an hour before leaving.

It's quite late.

After seeing him off, Chu Yan and Shen Yindi also returned to their room.

Chu Yan has been very quiet tonight and I don’t know what he is thinking about.

"Brother Yan, what are you thinking about? Why don't you tell me and discuss it with me?" Shen Yindi asked with a smile.

Chu Yan withdrew his thoughts.

Facing Shen Yindi's inquiring eyes, he did not hide it: "I was thinking about some things my mother said to me when she was still in the palace."

"Oh? What did you find?"
