Jiang Sheng was about to leave the prison when he suddenly glanced at the person imprisoned in the corner.

"Who is this?" he asked.

The subordinate said: "The secret guards sent it, saying that this man tried to assassinate the emperor in the street."

Jiang Sheng thought he had heard it wrong.

"Assassination in the street? He was alone?"

The men nodded.

Jiang Sheng suddenly became interested. He stopped and signaled his subordinates to open the cell door.

The man heard the noise and yelled, "I just want to teach that woman a lesson. Why did you bring me to a place like this?"

Jiang Sheng listened for a while and understood what he meant.

He felt the smell in the cell was bad, so he covered his nose with a handkerchief. However, his sudden laughter kept echoing in the cell, making those who heard it feel numb.

The man tried to argue at first, but now he can't utter a word.

Jiang Sheng smiled and asked, "Why don't you say anything?"

The man looked at him, feeling a chill in his heart, and stammered, "Let...let him go."

Although Jiang Sheng had a smile on his face, there was no warmth in his eyes.

"To be honest, I'll think about it."

"You are telling the truth."

Jiang Sheng was very interested in this person. He wanted to know who else had gotten involved last night, besides the overconfident Chu spy and the extremely stupid eldest prince.

Jiang Sheng smiled and winked at his men, and then the cell was filled with inhumane screams.

Compared to the fake Zhang Wenyuan, this guy was obviously not tough enough, and he soon said a name.

Jiang Sheng was in this line of work, and he soon found out.

When he walked into Guanghua Hall, the emperor was staring at a lantern.

"cousin."

The emperor turned around and asked: "Any clues?"

Jiang Sheng said: "The fake Zhang Wenyuan couldn't say anything, but the person you sent by the secret guards told everything."

"Who is it?" asked the emperor.

"Someone from the Jiang Mansion." Jiang Sheng frowned: "Does Prime Minister Jiang want to make trouble?"

The emperor shook his head: "It was directed at Xiaojiu."

Jiang Sheng paused.

I understood something instantly.

It's nothing more than the women in the harem competing for favor.

"De Fei?"

Emperor: “It should be…”

He understood why Xiaojiu was always hesitant.

Nothing happened yet, but Concubine De couldn't tolerate her. If he really gave Xiao Jiu a share, she would definitely become a living target in the harem.

He said he would protect her, but he would be distracted sometimes. What would he do with Xiaojiu then?

The emperor's eyes darkened.

He wanted to see his emperor.

Concubine Chun and Concubine Xian were both concubines, their families were not ordinary, and they had sons, but they were still killed.

Can he do better than his emperor?

Can he really protect Xiaojiu?

For the first time in his life, the emperor began to doubt his own abilities.

Jiang Sheng asked again: "Has the eldest prince not found you yet?"

The emperor shook his head.

Last night, there was another wave of people trying to assassinate the emperor.

The emperor had always been on guard against Prince Ruyang. He knew exactly how many people he brought back. He imprisoned Prince Ruyang and the queen mother, but deliberately left a hole in the cage so that they could contact those people outside.

But the emperor didn't expect the eldest prince to be so stupid, so he really brought people to kill him last night so that Prince Ruyang could take his place...

Moreover, they were used by the Chu people and thought that they could successfully ascend to the throne by killing him. This was ridiculous and stupid.

And Concubine De was so impatient to act. Although she only sent one person, the possibility of that person succeeding was very high. Afterwards, as long as that person was silenced, the matter would be done quietly without leaving any trace...

The emperor slammed the table hard, giving Jiang Sheng a fright.

Jiang Sheng patted his chest and said, "Cousin, we must not let these people go. If it weren't for our careful plan, I'm afraid they would have difficulty escaping..."

The emperor used himself as bait, betting that they would take action.

really……

The emperor said: "You'll have to work hard these two days. You must find all the Chu spies hiding in the capital. Let Commander Han go find the remnants of Prince Ruyang."

Jiang Sheng nodded.

The emperor then asked Eunuch Li to go to the Imperial Hospital to find the imperial physician to examine Prince Jing, Prince Jing and the injured secret guards.

He even sent people to appease the Eighth Prince.

After doing all this, he breathed a sigh of relief and stared at the location of the Chu State on the map for a long time.

"Your Majesty, it's late, you should take a rest." Eunuch Li was worried about the emperor's health.

The emperor was still wearing the clothes he had worn when he went out, and he said he wanted to take a bath.

Eunuch Li quickly asked people to prepare.

The emperor soaked in the water late at night. After calming down, he thought a lot.

Family and national affairs, and the love between children.

Then he fell asleep.

Then, An Jiu was patted in her sleep. When she opened her eyes, she saw the emperor with disheveled hair, wearing only a white, slightly transparent silk dress, but nothing underneath...

It has both good looks and good shape.

He said, "Xiaojiu, it's cold."

It's not cold to wear this in this weather.

Then he got into bed gracefully.

An Jiu: "..."

She was sure that this was a tyrant.

An Jiu stared at his head and sighed helplessly: "Come out, your hair is still wet, where have you been?"

The tyrant was quite smart. He wrapped himself in a quilt, leaving only his head exposed. An Jiu took a dry towel and wiped his hair.

Sometimes I feel that the ancients were really troublesome. It took An Jiu a long time to wipe this big head of curly hair until it was half dry.

Just keep letting it air dry.

An Jiu asked him: "Did you fall asleep in the bathtub?"

The tyrant nodded: "Almost drowned."

Still frightened by the choking, he threw on a coat and ran away, and even Eunuch Li couldn't catch up with him.

An Jiu looked at his face and couldn't help pinching it: "Little fool."

The tyrant refused to accept.

He is not a little fool.

He glanced at Anjiu with a sly look and asked, "Xiaojiu, do you want to go out and play?"

An Jiu said no. She was frightened today and was very reluctant to go out.

And thinking back carefully, what happened today was a bit strange.

When a tyrant goes out, he will leave behind his guards and secret guards, but when the emperor travels, in addition to the visible guards, there are also the secret guards led by Han Tongling and the Imperial Guards, etc. It is a grand event. Even if he goes out to see the lanterns today, it is impossible for him to travel so lightly.

Then think about the series of reactions they had when they went downstairs.

Where are the people on the other side? Why did Commander Han arrive so late? Who transferred him away?

And those elusive archers who shot and killed the guards at the end...

It was as if they had been lying in ambush there for a long time, waiting for those black-clad assassins to arrive.

An Jiu suspected that the series of events during today's trip were all planned by the emperor.

Really...

An Jiu didn't know what to say.

She was still very moved before she fell asleep.

Now that I think about it, the emperor might have known that nothing would happen...

So, were the things he did to himself his own ability or was he just pretending?

She couldn't help but glance at the tyrant.

She didn't have Eunuch Li's cooking skills, so the tyrant, with his curly hair, told her how fun it was to make noodles for the Lantern Festival.

He looked like he really, really wanted to go.

Compared to the adult emperor, this guy is so cute and simple.

An Jiu reached out and pinched his face.

"A scheming man."

The tyrant was stunned.

Full of tricks? Who are you talking about?

He pointed at himself in disbelief: "놖?"

An Jiu nodded: "It's you."

The tyrant's big curly hair is about to explode.

【Why is Xiaojiu scolding again? 】

【놖What did I do wrong? 】

He lifted the quilt and looked at himself. This action was very bold, and An Jiu happened to look over there.

All at a glance…

An Jiu: "..."

"Put it on quickly."

The tyrant surrounded himself with a quilt, but still looked at Anjiu unconvinced.

[Scolding you again? 】

[Scold every day.] 】

[I scolded you even though I didn’t make any mistakes.] 】

[This is really too much…]

An Jiu: "..."

Yes, yes, yes, I’ll scold you and scold you.

She laughed.
