Emperor Yongkang was wearing bright yellow casual clothes in the bedroom. He sat on the dragon bed with a gloomy face. The wound on his shoulder had been treated by the imperial physician. Fortunately, he avoided the fatal place at that time and was not hit.

They were all careless at that time, which gave the assassin an opportunity.

The military general Zhao An, who was kneeling in front of the emperor, finished speaking, lowered his head and dared not raise it, ashamed to face the emperor. This time he did not do his job well. When the emperor was traveling, he encountered an assassination, which disrupted the emperor's travel, and then he didn't even find out who sent the assassin.

"Zhao An, are you here to tell me that you sent so many people to look for it, but you didn't even find a rebel?" Emperor Yongkang asked.

No matter how calm the emperor's tone was, everyone present knew that this was a sign of their majesty's anger, and no one dared to say a word.

"I deserve death, please punish me, Your Majesty." Zhao An said prostrate.

"Fourth prince."

"Your son is here."

"I'll leave this matter to you. You must find out who is the mastermind behind this assassination attempt on me." Emperor Yongkang's eyes swept over and looked at the prince who was half-kneeling in front of him, with an invisible light hidden deep in his eyes.

"Your son will definitely live up to your father's expectations." Feng Lingxiao replied.

"Eighth brother, you should go to Longtan Temple to offer sacrifices on my behalf. Pray for rain for the people and for my Great Phoenix. May my Great Phoenix prosper for thousands of generations." The younger brother did not forget that he was originally going to Longtan Temple in Xiangshan to offer sacrifices. Now he could not go, so he could only let his eighth brother go on his behalf.

"I obey your order." The eighth prince stood up to receive the order.

"As for Zhao An, he did not do his job well. He will be punished with thirty strokes of the cane and demoted three levels. He will assist the King of Wings in investigating the assassin and make meritorious contributions." Emperor Yongkang glanced at Zhao An lying in front of him. He could avoid the death penalty, but he could not escape the punishment of living. He could not avoid punishment.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhao An said. At least his life was saved.

"Okay, all of you go down. I'm tired too." After holding on for a while, Emperor Yongkang's spirit had reached its limit. The trip to Longtan Temple to offer sacrifices was interrupted, which was not a good sign. Now he didn't even know who sent the assassin, so Emperor Yongkang was in a very bad mood.

This was really one thing after another.

Although the injury this time was not serious, for the current Emperor Yongkang, this was enough for him to bear.

"Your subjects will take their leave."

After everyone saluted, they all left.

There was a curfew in Fengdu City tonight. No one was allowed to go out after dark. The imperial guards wearing armor and holding spears were patrolling the streets. The four city gates in the east, south, west and north were all closed. Fengdu was now as solid as a rock. Not even a mosquito could fly out. As long as people were in the city, they would definitely not be able to escape.

The entire Fengdu city was in a state of tension. All the restaurants and hotels in the city were closed and no one dared to walk outside. If they were caught at this time, they would be treated as a rioter who attempted to assassinate the emperor. No one dared to go out. "You go that way." "You go this way." "The rest of you follow me!"

The neat and uniform footsteps at night seemed to be stepping on people's hearts. That night, the imperial guards knocked on the doors of all the hospitals and drugstores in the city and asked if anyone came to buy hemostatic and analgesic drugs today. The shopkeepers answered the soldiers' questions one by one with trembling voices. A man in armor who looked like a general stood at the door. The candlelight could not reach him, and his facial features were hidden in the shadows, making it impossible to see his appearance. But even so, it was hard to ignore the man standing there. He was probably the leader of these people. "Your Highness." After a round of questioning, nothing was found. "Nothing suspicious was found." Feng Lingxiao brought people to investigate all the hospitals and drugstores in Fengdu City. The streets were in chaos today, and no one could guarantee that there were no fish that slipped through the net. His father entrusted him with the task of searching for the assassin. Feng Lingxiao knew in his heart that his father did not trust him, or rather, his old father did not trust anyone except himself. There must be many people who wanted his father dead at this time, and Feng Lingxiao would not be stupid enough to do such a thing. Since his father wanted an explanation, he would give him one. His father had entrusted him with the task, and he would do it well even if it was just for show. "Let's go!" This family gained nothing again, and Feng Lingxiao prepared to take people to the next one. All the guards followed him out, and when they saw the soldiers go out, the shopkeeper gestured to the boy to close the door, and he breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's go back to the drugstore we just left!" After walking a few steps, Feng Lingxiao reined in his horse and stopped. He raised his hand to let the people following behind stop, turn their horses' heads, and look at the drugstore they just left. The shopkeeper's eyes were not right when he spoke, he was lying! The team leader made a gesture, and everyone changed direction, moving quickly towards the drugstore they just left, and scattered to guard everywhere. "Bang!" The sound of kicking the door in the night was unusually loud. The shopkeeper who had just returned to the house told the people hiding inside that the officers and soldiers outside had left, but he heard the sound of kicking the door, "Oh no!" Before they could react, the guards outside had already rushed in. "Bang..." The weapons of the two sides met. The few people hiding inside did not change their black clothes. When they saw the imperial guards rushing in, they immediately drew their weapons and fought back. "Leave them alive!" His Royal Highness King Yi who followed in from behind ordered. Someone noticed King Yi standing behind and shouted, "Capture King Yi!" Feng Lingxiao sneered and drew out the long sword on his body. The sword reflected a beam of light, swung up and down, a stream of blood splashed, and the black-clothed man who rushed over fell down. These people are not stupid. They know that if they can capture King Yi, they will definitely be able to escape today, but they may have overlooked one point. Is it so easy to capture King Yi? At night, people in the shop next door heard the noise coming from the medicine shop next door, and hid in the house trembling, and no one dared to go out. Soon, the noise stopped, the footsteps faded, and the people went far away. This night, a medicine shop in Fengdu City was sealed by the imperial guards, and everyone inside was arrested. The pale moon rising in the sky was covered by dark clouds. The night was gloomy tonight. The imperial guards in the city were still patrolling, and the night watchmen did not come out to beat the night.

Until late at night, the person sleeping on the shallowest floor woke up when he felt someone getting on the bed. He smelled a breath of water on the body of the person who just got on his bed. He thought that this person had just taken a shower, but there was also a faint smell of blood. Fang Ziye was too familiar with this smell.

His nose wrinkled, he didn't like the faint smell of blood.

"Did you get anything tonight?" Fang Ziye asked.

"Well, we caught a few people." Feng Lingxiao reached out and pulled the people over, but they were all small fry. He wanted to find the big fish behind them. As for the mastermind who sent people to assassinate his father this time, he had several suspects in his mind.

At this time, anyone could be possible, unless there was evidence.

"It's hot..." Fang Ziye stretched out his hand and pushed him, but he didn't push the person away.

"I just took a cool shower, can you feel me and see if I feel cool?" There was no reason why Feng Lingxiao couldn't hold the person in his arms. He took the person's hand and placed it on his chest, and opened his clothes to reveal his bulging chest muscles.

After taking off his clothes, His Royal Highness the King of Wings definitely had a good figure.

"..." Fang Ziye opened his eyes, met the pair of eyes that were smiling at him, and rolled his eyes.

"It's almost dawn, stop making trouble!"

After being disturbed at night, the person who fell asleep with his eyes closed in the back was talking nonsense. The corner of Feng Siye's mouth curled up into a smile, and like an old fox, he lowered his head and kissed the sleeping person in his arms, and closed his eyes happily.

The sky outside soon brightened.

On the second day's morning court, the Eighth Prince took people to Longtan Temple to offer sacrifices on behalf of the emperor, and then returned to the court. In just half a day, His Royal Highness Prince Yi had made some progress in tracking down the rebellion. He sent people to arrest the mastermind of this incident. The man was taken to jail and was being interrogated. He reported the matter to the emperor.

Emperor Yongkang finally showed a little smile on his face, "Good, good, good." He said three good words in a row.

What's good about it! When the eldest prince Feng Lingcheng heard his father praising Feng Lingxiao, he gritted his teeth and was very dissatisfied. It was such a small matter, but he could do it well. He was very dissatisfied in his heart.

He was obviously the eldest prince, how could his father not think of him in everything and not give him a chance to make achievements.

"Today in the court, I have one more thing to announce in front of all the civil and military officials in the court." He thought about this for a long time before making up his mind. Emperor Yongkang pondered for a moment and continued, "I also feel that my health is getting worse day by day. The court has not yet appointed a crown prince. I have always been thinking about this matter."

"Your Majesty, you are in good health and will live to be a thousand years old."

When everyone heard this, they all understood in their hearts that their majesty had the idea of ​​appointing a crown prince. In the past, these people were arguing about this matter, but today, some people didn't want their majesty to announce the appointment of a crown prince today. This matter happened so quickly that they were a little unprepared, and they all stood up to stop the emperor from appointing a crown prince.

Now that the Fifth and Second Princes have not returned to the court, those who are on their side are getting anxious. When their Majesty announces the selection of a crown prince, it will definitely not be one of the Fifth and Second Princes.

"Your Majesty..."

The emperor on the throne raised his hand, and the officials below did not dare to speak, knowing that their Majesty had made up his mind. Since the princes they supported had not returned, it was useless for them to say more, so they could only stand back.

In the end, all their efforts for so long were in vain.
