Chapter 146 Too Horrible! Someone Assassinated the Emperor
As the emperor finished speaking, a cold light suddenly flashed towards his neck!
"who?!"
The emperor looked at the cold light coming towards his neck and shouted out in a lost voice.
"Oh no, there's an assassin!"
"Come here, follow me and quickly protect the emperor!"
Hearing the emperor's shout from the imperial study, teams of Yulin Guards quickly drew their weapons.
They kicked open the door of the imperial study, and the scene before them made them tremble with fear!
I saw that the emperor had fallen in a pool of blood.
There was a shallow blood mark on his neck!
As for the assassin, he had already run away and disappeared.
"That assassin must not have gotten far. Go search for him!"
"If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his body!"
The leader of the Yulin Guard spoke angrily to his subordinates.
Then, the commander of the Yulin Guards hurriedly called for the imperial physician.
Fortunately, the imperial physician rescued the emperor in time, and the emperor just fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss.
And that night, the entire imperial capital was under martial law.
Teams of Yulin Guards and guards from the East and West Factories of Jinyiwei went door to door in the imperial capital searching for the assassin.
While the whole city was in turmoil and everyone was in danger, there was peace and prosperity in the Regent's Palace.
"My Lord, the person has returned."
Just as the Regent was drinking wine and touching the beauty in his arms.
A middle-aged man who looked like a butler walked up to the Regent and whispered softly.
"I understand, you all go down first!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After the Regent sent everyone away, he looked at the butler.
"What was the result? Was it successful?"
"Your Highness, according to the information sent back by the spies in the palace."
"The emperor is not in danger of death, he just lost too much blood and passed out."
As he spoke, the butler lowered his head tremblingly.
Although the Regent looks very kind on weekdays, he is an old man following the Regent.
The butler knew it very well. When this guy gets angry, he will kill people without blinking an eye!
"Waste, what a waste!"
"I raised them all, but they all turned out to be good-for-nothings!"
Sure enough, the next second, after hearing the butler's reply.
The regent stood up angrily and roared loudly.
He kept smashing the plates and wine glasses in front of him, and even kicked the table full of delicious food to the ground.
"Please calm down, Your Majesty. Although the Emperor is not dead, he has fallen into a coma."
Seeing that the Regent was almost furious, the butler, who had not dared to step forward to dissuade him, finally spoke.
"Hmph, kill that bastard!"
"I don't want to see him again. Anyone who knows about this will be killed!"
After the butler's persuasion, the Regent finally suppressed his anger.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Seeing that the Regent had murderous intentions, the butler did not dare to stay any longer, for fear that the gentleman would vent his anger on him.
So, he hurriedly left the courtyard as ordered by the Regent.
After the butler left, the Regent sat down with a lost look on his face.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are really lucky."
"It seems that I shouldn't have brought you back from that pile of dead bodies."
As he spoke, the Regent recalled the scene when he went south to Jiangnan to search for the whereabouts of the Fourth Prince.
In the end, the murderer who assassinated the emperor was never caught.
The emperor, who was already in poor health, was hit hard by the assassination.
He has been bedridden and is becoming increasingly weak.
In desperation, at the suggestion of Yuan Taifu and Prime Minister Xu Tao.
The Queen Mother had no choice but to take Concubine Shu to the court and start handling the government affairs of the Xia Kingdom.
Born in the prime minister's family, Concubine Shu showed her talent in government affairs.
In addition, with the support of his father who was the prime minister, the government affairs of Xia State were handled without any mistakes.
Originally, matters such as state affairs were handled by the Regent.
But at this time, the Regent also fell ill.
All the civil and military officials had no choice but to move the Empress Dowager and Concubine Shu out.
After three days, the emperor, who had been in a coma, finally woke up.
But he was too weak to get out of bed and walk.
I had no choice but to follow the imperial physician's instructions and take herbal medicine every day to strengthen my body.
Soon, the news of the emperor's assassination spread to Jiangnan.
Such a serious matter as the emperor’s assassination would definitely not be informed to the people of the whole country.
However, as a member of the royal family, Prince Huai'an had to inform him.
After receiving the news that the emperor had been assassinated, Prince Huai'an immediately found Jiang Chen.
"What?!"
"My Lord, is what you said true?"
After learning the news that the emperor had been assassinated, Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment.
Although he had known that the Regent and the Queen Mother would take action against the Emperor, he did not expect that the Regent would take action against the Emperor so soon!
"It seems..."
"The regent in the imperial capital can hardly wait to sit on the throne."
Prince Huai'an stood in front of the window, looking at the night outside.
"Your Majesty, it seems we have to speed up and find the real Fourth Prince."
"Otherwise, once the regent kills the fake emperor."
"I'm afraid that the Xia Kingdom will be in chaos, and I don't know how many people will die in this turmoil."
As Jiang Chen spoke, a hint of worry flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"When prosperity comes, the people suffer; when decline comes, the people suffer..."
"Lord Jiang, the fate of Xia Kingdom is in your hands."
"I will have the Huai'an Guards and the county soldiers ready to take orders as soon as there is any news about my fourth brother."
"No matter what, we have to bring our fourth brother back!"
Prince Huai'an shook his head helplessly, sighing and speaking slowly.
"I understand, my lord."
"I'll ask the Royal Guards to speed up the search."
After saying that, Jiang Chen hurriedly took his leave.
At this moment, Jiang Chen's mind was in a mess when he thought of the disaster victims who were still in the imperial capital.
There are also everyone in the main store of Lao Ba's Secret Restaurant, and the pair of sisters in the palace.
His head began to ache and he was at a loss for a moment.
Since ancient times, the struggle for the throne has been full of blood and gore.
Today's imperial capital is probably even more of a mixed bag.
It can be said that the situation in the imperial capital at this moment is like a storm is about to come!
Jiang Chen forced himself to calm down. The only thing he could do now was.
Join forces with Prince Huai'an to find the real Fourth Prince.
Thus, the Regent's dream of seizing the throne was shattered, and the ambitions of several other princes were eliminated!
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen no longer cared about sleeping.
He directly ordered someone to call the two brothers Qi Laoer and Qi Laosi.
Of course, Liu Wei and the sloppy young man were also invited to Jiang Chen's courtyard.
"Everyone, we don't have much time left, we must hurry up."
"Once the emperor in the imperial capital dies, the entire Xia Kingdom will face a disaster! "
