Seeing this scene, Feng Xuanming immediately asked the palace servants to take Concubine Li to a nearby place, fearing that she could not bear to watch the bloody scene.
Jiang Huai was worried about Li Muyuan's situation, but with Feng Xuanming here, she couldn't show too much concern for Li Muyuan and could only suppress her inner anxiety.
"What's going on?" Feng Xuanming looked at Jiang Ting.
Jiang Ting stepped forward quickly and said, "Your Majesty, when I led my men here, I saw a group of assassins attacking General Li. I took action to deal with them, but General Li seemed to have fainted from exhaustion."
Another assassin?
Feng Xuanming was somewhat suspicious whether this group of assassins were the same group of people who assassinated Concubine Li last night?
Some soldiers searched the bodies of the dead assassins and found a card on the leader. They immediately presented it to Feng Xuanming. Feng Xuanming took the card and his face instantly fell when he saw the words on it.
It’s Feng Haojie!
"Jiang Ting, take General Li back to the camp to rest first. I will handle this matter."
Feng Xuanming didn't expect Feng Haojie to be so bold. Just because Jiang Huai was going to marry Li Muyuan, he was going to kill Li Muyuan to pave the way for Feng Zhaolin. He and Feng Zhaolin really had a deep brotherly love.
Feng Xuanming vaguely felt that something was out of his control, and this feeling made him very unhappy.
First, there was Yi Peng who raised private soldiers, and then there was Feng Haojie who raised assassins. These ministers and sons of his were more capable than each other!
If Li Muyuan was really killed today, given Su Chenyu's personality, does Feng Haojie think that things can be resolved?
Feng Xuanming had his men deal with the bodies of the assassins, then returned to the camp angrily.
Concubine Li looked at Feng Xuanming's leaving back, a smile flashed across her eyes. Feng Xuanming, your retribution is about to begin, are you ready?
As soon as Feng Xuanming returned, he asked someone to summon Feng Haojie. Feng Haojie was in high spirits drinking, and thinking that Li Muyuan would die after tonight, he became even more excited.
Therefore, when Feng Haojie came to see Feng Xuanming, he couldn't hide his joy on his face. Seeing this, Feng Xuanming grabbed the inkstone at hand and smashed Feng Haojie with great force, breaking Feng Haojie's forehead: "Are you sober now?"
Who can bear the emperor’s anger?
Feng Haojie immediately knelt on the ground and said in fear and trepidation: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Feng Xuanming didn't waste any words with him and directly threw the card in front of him. Seeing this card, Feng Haojie's face turned pale. How could the emperor get this card?
Seeing Feng Haojie like this, Feng Xuanming knew that he was not wronged, so he dismissed the people in the tent. When only he and Feng Haojie were left, Feng Xuanming asked, "Feng Haojie, you keep these assassins, don't you want to rebel?"
Unlike the Marquis of Xinyang who kept private soldiers, the prince keeping so many assassins would only make the emperor suspicious.
Hearing this, Feng Haojie immediately replied: "Your Majesty, how dare I?"
"You even dare to raise assassins, what else are you afraid to do?" Feng Xuanming asked angrily, "Yesterday you sent someone to assassinate the imperial concubine, and today you sent someone to assassinate Li Muyuan. Tell me, who else do you want to kill? Will it be my turn next?"
"Your Majesty, I am innocent. I definitely did not send anyone to assassinate the imperial concubine, and I would not dare to have such an idea." Feng Haojie explained quickly, "Your Majesty, I know that you don't want Jiang Huai to marry Li Muyuan. I am getting rid of Li Muyuan today to relieve your worries. I hope your Majesty will understand."
Feng Haojie had no idea that he had committed another big taboo.
The emperor's mind is hard to predict. Never try to guess what he is thinking, especially try not to point out his secret thoughts in front of him.
