At this moment, the eunuch Li Delu walked in from outside with a cold sweat on his face and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what happened, but the news that the Li Wangfu soldiers assassinated *** and Commander Li has leaked out. Many important officials in the court have come to the palace to request that the Li Wangfu be dealt with!"
A fierce look suddenly flashed across Emperor Sheng An's eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "They came quickly enough!"
Lin Yiwan spoke first: "Your Majesty, how do you plan to give them an explanation?"
Emperor Sheng An said without hesitation: "Why should I give them an explanation? I trust my uncle and the Prince Li's Mansion. If they insist on begging, then I will send them all to the battlefield one by one!"
Lin Yiwan nodded and said, "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will definitely find the real culprit as soon as possible and clear the Li Palace of its bad reputation!"
Emperor Sheng'an quickly turned and left, but Empress Dowager Wang spoke with a worried look on her face, "Wanwan, do you have any idea how to lure out the real culprit? The palace is so big, it's not easy to catch someone."
Lin Yiwan said in a deep voice, "We must capture him no matter how difficult it is, otherwise the people of the Li Palace and the Zhan Yi Marquis's Mansion will all hate us!"
She carefully analyzed all the clues and suddenly realized that she had overlooked a very important person.
That’s Xiao Yu’s husband!
She knew that Xiao Yu and Xiao Ling were both learning to read and write, but since Xiao Yu's accident, his teacher had disappeared.
She quickly asked ***: "Do you know who Xiao Yu's teacher is?"
*** squinted his eyes and thought for a moment before saying, "It seems to be Yan Muqing. He was the former top scholar, but for some reason he didn't want to enter the court. He just lived a leisurely life as a scholar, traveling around the mountains and rivers. Later, the Queen invited him into the palace to teach Xiao Yu!"
Lin Yiwan immediately frowned, as the name Yan Muqing was very unfamiliar to her.
She had never heard of it!
Then the *** said, "I heard that this Mr. Yan had suffered a broken heart. He once loved a woman very much, but she had to marry someone else due to difficult circumstances. He was very distressed, so he cut off all love and only played around in the world!"
Lin Yiwan instinctively felt that the person who controlled Xiao Yu was Mr. Yan, and his actions seemed like revenge.
He is targeting Prince Li's Mansion and Marquis Zhan Yi's Mansion. Could it be that his father or Ah Yan stole his love?
That's impossible. Both of them are loyal to their feelings and have never done anything to steal someone else's love.
Her mind was spinning and she felt a slight headache.
*** comforted her distressedly: "Wanwan, if you can't figure it out for a while, just take a break. I see you look very unhappy!"
Lin Yiwan shook her head stubbornly: "No, the situation is chaotic now. If this continues, who knows what kind of stigma will be saddled on the Li Palace. I must find the real culprit as soon as possible!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a commotion outside.
She walked out quickly with a dazed look on her face, and saw Li Delu running towards her covered in blood. "Madam Hou, please go and take a look! The Emperor has been stabbed by Prince Li. He's been injured in a vital area!"
Lin Yiwan's pupils contracted violently. How could her father do that?
She didn't dare to think any more and immediately rushed to the imperial study.
When she reached the door, she saw a horrifying scene.
Zhan Yan, with a stern expression, was protecting the blood-soaked King Li. Surrounding the two of them were many royal guards holding sharp weapons.
Emperor Sheng An fell in a pool of blood, his life or death unknown.
She quickly rushed over and asked, "What are you doing?"
Zhan Yan spoke immediately upon seeing her, "Wanwan, you've come at the perfect time. Father has suddenly gone berserk, and for some reason he managed to stab the Emperor with a dagger!"
Lin Yiwan's heart sank immediately. Thinking of the situation of the little princess just now, she was afraid that the brain-eating worm was at work again.
She immediately checked the shape of Prince Li's nose, and sure enough, she saw the bulge on the nostril.
In an emergency, she didn't bother to say anything and quickly poured all the remaining potion into King Li's nose.
In full view of everyone, a bug soon crawled out of King Li's nose mixed with black blood.
Everyone was shocked and asked, "What kind of insect is this?"
Lin Yiwan said in a serious tone, "This poisonous insect can bewitch people's minds. I'm afraid someone wants to use my father to kill the emperor. After being attacked by the poisonous insect, everything he did was not his own will!"
Meng Xiang spoke first: "Did everyone hear that? Prince Li did not intend to assassinate the emperor, so we must all remain calm about this matter!"
Several old imperial censors retorted in dissatisfaction: "Prime Minister Meng, even if he didn't intend to assassinate the emperor, the palace soldiers of Prince Li assassinated *** and Commander Li. This is irrefutable evidence!"
Prime Minister Meng frowned and said, "You did something wrong and you left evidence on the spot? You're all not stupid, but is Prince Li stupid? Prince Li's mansion was already at the center of controversy, how could he do such a stupid thing that would make him hated? In your eyes, our God of War is so ignorant?"
After hearing this, everyone was speechless.
Even the old censors couldn't think of any reason to refute it for a while!
Prime Minister Meng is now in charge of the overall situation, so his words naturally carry great weight.
He turned to look at Lin Yiwan and said, "Madam Hou, please go and treat the emperor's injuries immediately. He is the emperor of our dynasty and we cannot afford to let him down!"
Lin Yiwan nodded: "Thank you, Mr. Meng, for your trust. I will definitely give everyone an explanation after leaving the palace!"
She walked up to Emperor Sheng'an and ordered people to carry him to the inner hall.
At this time, Prince Li gradually woke up. When he saw the bloody dagger in his hand, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes.
He still couldn't understand why he took the dagger and stabbed it into the heart of the defenseless Emperor Sheng An.
Fortunately, he regained some consciousness after a while and loosened his grip a little, otherwise, he would have stabbed Emperor Sheng An to death on the spot.
He looked at Lin Yiwan who was busy running back and forth with a complicated expression, and felt uncomfortable in his heart.
He asked hoarsely, "Wanwan, Your Majesty, how is he?"
Before Lin Yiwan could say anything, Emperor Sheng An had already opened his eyes.
He said with a pale face: "Uncle, you don't need to feel guilty. I have never blamed you. Don't say that you acted unconsciously. Even if you really wanted to kill me, I would not have a single complaint, because this life of mine was originally given by you!"
Prince Li frowned and scolded him, "Don't be so stubborn. Gather some strength and let Wanwan treat your injuries!"
Emperor Sheng An coughed and said, "No, let me finish. I am deeply grateful to you, Wan Wan, and even Zhan Yan. It is your support that has allowed me to be a good emperor for more than ten years. The Sheng Dynasty is becoming more and more prosperous. This is not my own achievement. If I am doomed to die this time, then please protect Ling'er and keep him away from these disputes!"
Prince Li and Zhan Yan's faces changed drastically. The emperor was not entrusting his son to someone else, he was giving up the throne.
Prince Li firmly grasped his wrist and said, "Who will clean up your mess? I have never been interested in the throne. Don't try to act like a rogue. Live well. This is your responsibility. Don't try to pass it on to others!"
