Chapter 226: Disturbing My Heart

Regardless of whether it is a conspiracy or not, we have to get out first. Staying in the building will only lead to death.

The emperor looked back and saw the Eighth Prince looking terrified, completely frightened, while Prince Jing had fallen into a coma due to choking on the smoke and was being carried on the back of a servant.

"Lin San, send a few people to protect the Eighth Prince and Prince Jing."

Lin San quickly dialed two people.

The emperor said, "Let's go."

Prince Jing and Lin San led the way. This time, they did not allow anyone to get close and walked downstairs quickly. However, the assassin had already mixed in. Although they failed to cause any substantial damage, they also wasted time.

When we got down to the first floor, there was already fire at the door.

Thick smoke billowed, Lin San and King Jing looked at each other, and the two rushed into the fire to remove the things that were blocking their way.

"Your Majesty, please get out."

The emperor rushed out first, holding An Jiu, followed by Prince Jing and his servant, the Eighth Prince and others...

An Jiu was very scared and panicked. She covered her mouth and nose and was quickly led out by the emperor. But before she could take a few breaths of air, she realized something was wrong.

An Jiu knew that although there seemed to be only two people accompanying the emperor when he went out, Commander Han had always sent people to protect them secretly. They were around the Zhaixing Tower, but now, they neither came to put out the fire nor showed up. So where did Commander Han and others go?

"Where are the people?" A lot of King Jing's hair was burned and there were also injuries on his arms.

"Commander Han and the others are missing." Lin San said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, we have to leave as soon as possible..."

However, before Lin San could finish his words, a group of men in black appeared and surrounded them.

An Jiu didn't want to cause trouble for the emperor, so she whispered, "Your Majesty, please put me down."

The emperor put her down and handed her to King Jing behind him: "Third brother, please."

King Jing nodded: "Don't worry."

Behind them was a blazing fire, and in front of them, the emperor, Lin San and others were standing on the steps. He looked at the men in black with contempt.

"Kill." The leader of the men in black gave the order.

But before they could rush over, they were shot by arrows coming from nowhere.

Then dense swarms of arrows flew over, and some of the men in black were unable to dodge and were shot like hedgehogs.

In a short while, the ground was littered with corpses.

An Jiu calmed down and was no longer afraid. In the blazing firelight, she saw the emperor's tall and strong back.

With him around, the people around him seemed to become background figures.

The men in black fell one by one, and finally only a few were left.

Lin San was so angry that he ripped off a piece of his burned skin. Then he turned around and stabbed the man's heart cleanly with his knife...

Just as the last man tried to run, the emperor threw a knife and stabbed it straight into his thigh. The man fell to the ground, wailing in pain.

Lin San walked over and stepped on the hilt of the knife. The assassin let out a heart-wrenching scream, and Lin San took the opportunity to take off his mask.

This person...

An Jiu knows him.

He is the guard who is always with Li Ji.

His name is Zhang Wenyuan.

An Jiu frowned and suddenly thought of something.

That’s right, during the autumn hunt, she and Tyrant overheard Concubine Mei talking to someone on the mountain. At that time, she felt that the voices of both people sounded familiar. Now that she thought about it, one of them was Zhang Wenyuan...

Just as An Jiu figured out what was going on, Commander Han arrived with his men.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being late in coming to your rescue."

…

An Jiu was taken back to the palace by two secret guards. She was a little frightened but not injured.

No one in the palace knew what happened outside today. Xiaoqiu and Xiaoxia even asked Anjiu if he had fun outside.

An Jiu said a few words casually and went back to his room.

She lay in bed, thinking about everything that happened today, and belatedly felt scared.

She also remembered that when the emperor came down from the Zhaixing Tower, he had been holding her hand. At that time, he had been protecting her...

It would be a lie to say I wasn't moved.

She exhaled and couldn't help but pat her face.

Dog emperor, you are disturbing my mind.

…

Li Ji felt a little sleepy. Standing guard at this time was the most unbearable. He closed his eyes to suppress the sleepiness. When he opened his eyes, he found a person standing in front of him.

Of course Li Ji knew this person.

Jiang Sheng.

He was staring at him expressionlessly, his eyes full of scrutiny and assessment.

"Jiang... Doctor Jiang." This sudden request scared Li Ji away from his sleepiness.

"Guard Li." Jiang Sheng's mouth curled up into an extremely uncomfortable smile: "Come with me, I have something to ask you."

Li Jidan: "What...what happened? I'm still on duty..."

Jiang Sheng glanced at the brother with the accent and said, "Chang Lin, you take Guard Li's place."

"Yes." Accent Brother Chang Lin seemed to be very familiar with Jiang Sheng.

When Li Ji looked over, Chang Lin gave him a simple smile.

Li Ji's heart sank, and he seemed to suddenly understand something.

This Chang Lin should be Jiang Sheng's man...

What does he want to do by mixing in with the guards?

"Let's go, Guard Li."

Jiang Sheng was very busy tonight. He asked a few simple questions and locked Li Ji up. Li Ji was frightened and then he saw an acquaintance.

Zhang Wenyuan.

Li Ji was very surprised because Zhang Wenyuan looked extremely miserable, with blood all over his legs and a pale face. He looked like a dead dog being dragged around.

Li Ji looked at him again in his nightgown and was afraid that it was not a good thing.

Li Ji felt a little uneasy.

Zhang Wenyuan, Chang Lin...

He felt as if he had grasped something.

Jiang Sheng arrived soon after. He moved a chair, sat next to Zhang Wenyuan, and signaled his men to splash water on him to wake him up.

Zhang Wenyuan opened his eyes and understood his situation. He sneered, "You can kill me or chop me up if you want. I won't say a word."

Jiang Sheng sneered: "Who said I was going to ask you? Even if you don't tell me, I know that you and Concubine Mei are spies of the State of Chu."

Zhang Wenyuan didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement.

Li Ji's eyes widened, he couldn't believe what he heard.

Is Zhang Wenyuan actually a spy of the Chu State? ? ?

He has such a good relationship with Zhang Wenyuan, will he be suspected?

Wait, isn't he already in jail...

Jiang Sheng stood up and walked to Zhang Wenyuan... No, this guy should not be Zhang Wenyuan. The real Zhang Wenyuan had been killed by him long ago, and he took his place, hiding among the guards, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Even the Zhang family's members were disguised as spies from the Chu State, and now they have all been caught.

As early as the autumn hunt, the emperor suspected that there was a spy around him.

Therefore, Chang Lin was assigned to the guards to investigate secretly.

Chang Lin quickly locked his suspicions on Li Ji and Zhang Wenyuan, and approached them when he had nothing to do.

Until today, he was certain that Zhang Wenyuan was going to take action, so he set up a dragnet and waited for them to fall into it.

Jiang Sheng looked at the fake Zhang Wenyuan and said, "I guess by now, the secret agents of the Chu State in the capital have been eliminated by our people."

Every country has spies in other countries.

The people of Chu have always been very secretive. Now that the fake Zhang Wenyuan has been exposed, as long as we follow the clues, we can deal a heavy blow to the Chu spies.

Zhang Wenyuan closed his eyes when he heard this.

He has nothing to say.

If you fail, you will have to bear the consequences.

"Why did you attack His Majesty today? Who asked you to do this?" Jiang Sheng asked.

Zhang Wenyuan glanced at him and sneered, "You can't get anything out of me."

Jiang Sheng nodded: "Forget it then..."

He gave his men a look and went out.

Before Li Ji could recover from the fact that Zhang Wenyuan was a spy, he was forced to witness Jiang Sheng's men inflicting various tortures on the fake Zhang Wenyuan...
