When some ministers heard Su Yi's words, they were terrified and came forward to ask Su Yi: "How could our emperor be assassinated? This royal hunting ground is heavily guarded, how could a assassin sneak in and commit such a treasonous act?"

Su Yi glanced at the ministers in the room, and finally looked at Lin Zhengyong and his followers, and said in a cold voice: "Yes, I also want to know who is so crazy that he dared to do such a treasonous thing as assassinating the emperor!"

Another minister stepped forward and asked, "How badly is the emperor injured? Can we go back to Bianliang to see the emperor now?"

Su Yi said: "I don't know who is the traitor yet, but I believe that this person must be among you, so I'm sorry that I can't reveal the emperor's injury."

Lin Zhengyong and Su Yi looked at each other for a moment, then he took a few steps forward and walked in front of Su Yi.

"Yesterday, only the young prince and the emperor entered the inner court together. Now, I only saw you and your Moon Shadow Guards leaving the inner court, but not my emperor and the imperial guards."

"You keep saying that the emperor was assassinated. So the emperor was assassinated? This is too much of a coincidence. It's hard not to be suspicious."

"It's hard to say whether the emperor was really assassinated. Even if he was, it's unknown whether it was really like what you said, that a group of assassins appeared in the inner court!"

Su Yi sneered and asked, "General Lin, what do you mean by this?"

"I don't mean anything, but it's not uncommon for the thief to cry thief in this world!"

Before Lin Zhengyong finished speaking, Su Yi's Yueying Guards drew their swords in unison, with the tips of their swords pointed at Lin Zhengyong. At the same time, Lin Zhengyong's guards also drew their swords to protect Lin Zhengyong.

The atmosphere on the field suddenly became tense, and the women were so frightened that they turned pale and sobbed.

Su Yi looked at Lin Zhengyong, his face showing no emotion: "General Lin, are you planning a rebellion?"

Lin Zhengyong paused and did not respond. At this time, Lu Changwei and some ministers stepped forward to persuade the two to talk nicely and not to hurt the relationship.

Su Yi and Lin Zhengyong then raised their hands, signaling the guards around them to put down their swords.

"This general is loyal to the Southern Shu Kingdom and the emperor. How dare I have the intention of rebellion?"

"It's just that I saw the young prince staring at me just now, and mentioned the assassination of the emperor, which inevitably made me think that the young prince had misunderstood me."

Su Yi looked at Lin Zhengyong with sharp eyes, smiling and not smiling: "Whether it is a misunderstanding or not, we will know after we return to Bianliang and torture those assassins who tried to assassinate the emperor."

A minister stepped forward and said, "Could it be that the young prince is saying that the traitor who tried to assassinate the emperor is still alive?"

Su Yi sneered, "How can I let such a crucial witness die so easily? I will make them reveal the mastermind behind the scenes, then I will torture them to death by pulling out their tendons, peeling off their skin, and pulverizing their bones."

Lin Zhengyong wanted to say something else, but Lu Changwei at the side quickly pulled him back and winked at him, signaling him not to be impulsive.

Everyone at the scene was plunged into sorrow because of the assassination of the emperor. They speculated about the emperor's injuries and looked at the people around them to see if they were related to the assassination attempt on the emperor.

In fact, the two most suspected people are Lin Zhengyong and Su Yi. After all, Lin Zhengyong has been arrogant and domineering in Southern Shu Kingdom in recent years, and he has his own army. It is not surprising that he is accusing him of treason at this moment.

Although Su Yi was the emperor's grandson, he was also the prince of Dongyue Kingdom after all. It was not impossible for him to kill his grandfather and seize the throne.

But who dares to speak out what they think? Neither Lin Zhengyong nor Su Yi are people they can afford to offend.

Since the emperor was injured and returned to Bianliang early, there was no need for everyone to stay in the hunting ground. Su Yi and other ministers also rushed back to Bianliang because they were worried about Emperor Gaozong of the South.

After everyone had left, Su Yi moved to Mu Jin's side. He looked a little tired, but his voice was as gentle as possible: "How was everything yesterday?"

Mu Jin nodded. She wanted to ask about Emperor Gaozong Su Yinan's situation, but considering that there were many people around, she changed her words to avoid unnecessary trouble: "Do you need to have some breakfast before returning to Bianliang?"

Su Yi rubbed his brows and said tiredly, "No need, I'll go back to the city immediately." However, he naturally understood what Mu Jin was thinking, so he gently squeezed her hand and whispered, "Everything is fine, no need to worry."

Mu Jin looked at Su Yi in astonishment, but Su Yi smiled back and immediately turned around and told the Moon Shadow Guard beside him, "Return to the city."

Because Su Yi was covered in blood and sweat, he was worried that he would disturb Mu Jin. So he did not ride in the same carriage with Mu Jin this time when he returned to the city. Instead, he chose to ride a horse and protect Mu Jin's carriage.

Mu Jin sat alone in the carriage, his thoughts surging like the tide. The team outside was heading towards Bianliang non-stop.

After what happened in the hunting ground yesterday and today, Mu Jin seemed to have realized something in an instant.

From the beginning, the Xia Miao was a royal event mixed with conspiracy, but no one knew at the beginning that Emperor Gaozong Nan would enter the inner court. Therefore, this conspiracy was probably set up for Su Yi.

The conspiracy of those people was known in advance by Emperor Gaozong of Nan and Su Yi, so Emperor Gaozong of Nan took advantage of the situation and entered the inner field as well.

In the final analysis, this hunting was actually a game between Emperor Gaozong and the Lin family. Perhaps, the injury of Emperor Gaozong was just part of the whole plan, used to confuse the people and disrupt their judgment. It was not impossible.

Mu Jin thought, if this was true, then everything made sense.

A group of people returned to Bianliang in a mighty procession. Except for the female family members who were escorted back to the palace by the guards, all the officials above the first rank entered the palace.

Outside the Longxian Palace of Southern Shu Kingdom, a group of ministers stood outside the palace waiting to enter the palace to visit the assassinated Emperor Gaozong.

With a creaking sound, the door of the Ambergris Palace was opened, and Emperor Gaozong's personal eunuch Yuanlu walked out with a worried look on his face.

A group of ministers saw Yuanlu rushing forward and asked in unison.

"Eunuch Yuan, how is the emperor's condition now?" "Eunuch Yuan, is the emperor awake?" "Eunuch Yuan, let me go in and see our emperor."

"The emperor is seriously injured. The imperial doctors will take turns to treat him in there." Yuanlu sighed with a worried look on his face and cried.

"I have been with the emperor for decades, but this is the first time I have seen him act like this."

Lin Zhengyong pushed away several ministers who were blocking his way and asked Yuanlu in a deep voice.

"Please ask Eunuch Yuan to go in and inform the emperor that this general would like to go in and visit the emperor."

Yuanlu wiped his tears hastily with his sleeve and spoke with a sob.

"It is not that I intend to stop you. It is because before the emperor fainted, he specifically told me that except for the young prince and the imperial physician, no one is allowed to enter the Ambergris Palace until the emperor wakes up. I hope the general will forgive me."

Lin Zhengyong narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of ferocity. His face was full of ferocity, and he shouted angrily: "Why doesn't the emperor see you?"

Yuanlu wiped his tears slowly and cried uncontrollably.

"General Lin, do you think that I have falsely conveyed the imperial edict? If so, then I am being wronged."

"The emperor said that he was assassinated in the forest farm. Someone must have had bad intentions and wanted to harm him. Before the truth came out, the emperor said that he didn't want to trust anyone but the young prince. Therefore, the emperor was only willing to see the young prince."

Lin Zhengyong snorted coldly, his tone was icy: "Did you guys take it upon yourself to put the emperor under house arrest? This general has made a statement here. You must see the emperor today."

After Lin Zhengyong finished speaking, he pushed Yuanlu away and rushed to the Dragon's Saliva Hall. However, he was stopped by Su Yi who happened to arrive.
