He analyzed for half a day, but it was all in vain?
When did King Kang become so highly regarded by the people?
The people actually still defend him? !
No, he has to hurry back to the palace and report this to the boss!
The man in black left the teahouse and blended into the crowd.
What the man in black said just now was all in vain. Not only did it not divert public opinion in the capital to King Kang, it also helped King Kang. In the hearts of the people, King Kang was not only a kind-hearted person, but also a resourceful and courageous man.
The imperial palace.
"Boss, this is what happened. It's like those people have been brainwashed by King Kang. No matter what I say, they don't think King Kang did anything wrong.
If this goes on, there's no way to put the blame on Prince Kang for the fire. Boss, will the emperor blame me?"
The man in black said with a sad face.
An Yi pursed his lips and said, "The people are not brainwashed by King Kang, but they have benefited from King Kang and think he is a good person.
Anwu, be prepared to be punished by the Emperor. I will plead for you and try to save your life."
An Wu slumped his shoulders. "If Prince Kang is truly a good man, then why is the Emperor targeting him?"
"Don't discuss the affairs of the royal family, An Wu, please leave. I should go to the imperial study to report to the emperor."
An Yi interrupted An Wu in a calm tone.
"yes."
After An Wu agreed and left, An Yi looked at the sky gradually darkening outside the window and left as well.
Imperial study.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. The mission failed. My subordinates mingled with the people and tried to pin the fire on King Kang, but the people didn't believe them.
The people also didn't believe the fire was related to the Prime Minister. They were more inclined to believe that it was the Prime Minister's mother who set the fire."
An Yi knelt on the ground and reported in a low voice.
The old emperor's face was gloomy, and his voice was cold. "I really didn't expect that Prince Kang's status in the hearts of the people would be so high."
“Your Majesty, before the previous snowstorm, Prince Kang sent supplies to the people of the outer city to help them weather the cold winter, and the people have always been very grateful for this.
Therefore...no matter what his subordinates said about the fire, the people did not believe that King Kang could have done it."
An Yi's explanation made the old emperor sneer, "Just this one thing can make the people grateful to him, King Kang is really a good man!
Are the people you sent out to set the fire sure that all the people inside were burned to death?"
Ever since the old emperor failed in burning King Kang's two sons, he would ask for clarification before completing every mission.
"Yes, sure."
"Well, step back. Since this matter has failed, let the Prime Minister's mother take the responsibility.
In addition, I will not punish the secret guard who failed in his mission this time. Let him assassinate Prince Gong tonight to make up for his mistake."
The old emperor stroked his jade ring calmly, as if saying that the moonlight tonight was beautiful.
An Yi agreed, then hesitated for a while before asking, "Your Majesty, then, assassinating Prince Gong...does this mission need to succeed or fail?"
Even though the old emperor mentioned this matter several times, he did not make it clear whether he wanted Prince Gong to be injured or to die.
The old emperor probably didn't expect that his secret guard would ask such a question. He laughed loudly, and his laughter was rough and unpleasant.
"An Yi, you've been following me for so long, yet you still don't understand my thoughts. Are you planning to give the name An Yi to someone else?"
The old emperor smiled, but his tone made An Yi feel creepy.
He knelt on the ground with a thud, "Your Majesty, please forgive me! I just, I just don't dare to guess what Your Majesty is thinking!"
"That's enough. Don't let Prince Gong die. Leave."
The old emperor spoke in a light tone and his expression changed very quickly.
An Yi agreed and left quickly, feeling relieved for having survived a disaster, and his back was wet with cold sweat.
The Emperor's temper is becoming increasingly unpredictable...
The next day.
The news that Prince Gong was assassinated last night spread throughout the court.
King Kang heard about this when he was attending court.
He was a little surprised when he first heard it.
I didn't expect that Prince Gong would be assassinated.
After all, among all the princes, Prince Gong has no backing and is not favored by his father. He is a very low-key person.
As long as Prince Gong does not take the initiative to provoke anyone, he will not be assassinated by anyone.
It seems that Prince Gong is not content secretly either.
Prince Kang thought about this and was quite curious about who sent someone to assassinate Prince Gong.
That person helped him vent his anger.
Because Prince Gong is also his enemy.
Thinking that his enemy had been assassinated, King Kang returned home in a good mood.
As soon as he got home, he told his wife the good news.
"Prince Gong was assassinated?"
Ye Peizhu raised her eyebrows, also quite surprised.
"Yes, I heard it happened last night. Prince Gong was injured and couldn't go to court this morning.
The murderer has helped us vent our anger.”
Prince Kang happily picked up his daughter from the crib and said, "My dear daughter, do you miss your father?"
Song Jiujiu's little hands pushed hard against Daddy's big face, [Stop sticking! Daddy, shave! It's prickling my face!]
"The baby must be missing daddy!"
King Kang was quite happy to ask and answer his own questions.
"Your Highness, Prince Gong is injured this time. How about we go and visit him? A few days ago, I was just telling Jianan that I wanted to take Jiuer to visit Princess Gong."
Ye Peizhu took the opportunity to talk about her plan.
When she said this, Prince Kang also remembered that he and his wife had previously discussed privately about having someone investigate Princess Gong and Prince Gong's concubines.
It's been several days and there's still no news.
We can take advantage of this opportunity when Prince Gong was assassinated and injured to investigate.
"Okay, let's go together then. I'll go visit Prince Gong, and Madam, the Prime Minister's wife and our daughter will go visit Princess Gong."
The couple looked at each other and understood each other's plans.
Song Jiujiu opened her big round eyes and looked at her parents playing guessing games in front of her, puffing up her cheeks in anger.
What's this charade, Daddy and Mommy? If you have something to say, just say it!
Is there anything else that this baby can't listen to?
I always felt that my parents went to Prince Gong's Mansion to watch the fun, not to really visit Prince Gong.
So when are you going to watch the fun? I want to go too!
It’s really funny to think that Prince Gong, that smiling tiger, was actually assassinated. This is simply retribution!
The Chinese New Year is not far away. When will my eldest brother come back? Can our family be reunited for the Chinese New Year this year?
It feels like I haven’t seen my grandmother for a long time. Why doesn’t she come to see me, and my mother doesn’t take me to visit the general’s mansion?
Ah, so boring! 】
Song Jiujiu was muttering to herself, mumbling whatever came to her mind, and she sighed softly as she lay on her father's chest, which gave her a sense of security.
