The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

Xie Rong raised his eyebrows, looked at Li Shunquan with amusement, and tapped his fingers lightly: "This kid is really good at keeping up the time."

Li Shunquan's eyes narrowed into a slit.

"Your Highness Prince Rui and the Emperor are in perfect sync."

The emperor was about to go see Prince Rui when Prince Rui arrived. Isn't this telepathy?

"Let him in." Xie Rong said.

The young eunuch agreed and turned to leave.

After a while, Xie Nanyuan, dressed in a black robe, strode in.

"Your son greets His Majesty." Xie Nanyuan bowed.

"Stand up." Xie Rong waved his hand and said softly.

"Yes." Xie Nanyuan straightened up and met Xie Rong's gaze.

A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he looked down at himself, and there was nothing wrong.

He was about to ask when he heard the emperor say, "It's okay. Although he's seriously injured, he can still move."

Xie Nanyuan was stunned for a moment, then he realized that the emperor was concerned about his injuries.

He said, "Father, don't worry. This injury is nothing."

The injuries he suffered on the battlefield in the past were much more serious than the ones he suffered now. The most serious one required him to stay in bed for a whole month, but now it was just some bleeding.

In the capital, when these imperial doctors saw someone injured, they would habitually exaggerate the severity of the situation.

As for Lin Ze, he always makes a fuss every time he gets hurt.

Xie Rong was quite angry and helpless. He looked at Li Shunquan and said, "Look at this kid. He's still trying to show off at this time."

Li Shunquan smiled and said to Xie Nanyuan, "Your Highness should also take care of his health. The Emperor is always thinking about you. If he hadn't been held back by political affairs, he would have gone to see Your Highness long ago."

As Li Shunquan finished speaking, Xie Rong snorted coldly.

Xie Nanyuan pursed his lips and said, "Yes, I understand. I will take care of myself."

He changed the subject and his expression became serious.

"I have come here to tell you something."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Seeing Xie Nanyuan's serious expression, Xie Rong also changed his casual attitude and sat up straight.

"My son was assassinated while hunting last night." Xie Nanyuan said.

Although he wanted to inform the emperor about this matter, Xie Nanyuan still concealed the matter of Shen Qionghua.

Xie Rong looked surprised and asked, "Assassination?"

Xie Nanyuan nodded.

"Besides, the other side has a lot of manpower. If Ji Bei hadn't brought people with him, I might not have been able to return safely yesterday."

Xie Rong stood up suddenly and threw the paperweight beside him to the ground.

"This is simply outrageous! Who dares to assassinate the prince in the royal enclosure?"

His face was filled with anger as he paced quickly, then stopped in front of Li Shunquan.

"Investigate, get to the bottom of this for me!"

He wanted to see who was so brave!

"Yes!" Li Shunquan agreed and turned around to give orders.

At this moment, Xie Nanyuan said, "Father, I already know who is behind this."

"It is the State of Chen, with whom we have been at war for many years."

"Is it Chen State?" Xie Rong asked in surprise.

After asking Xie Rong for his opinion, Xie Nanyuan shouted outside, and Lin Ze came in carrying a limp person.

Only after he threw the man to the ground, revealing his purple lips and chest that no longer rose and fell, did Xie Rong realize that he was a dead man.

"These are the assassins who tried to assassinate me last night. None of them survived. Except for those who were killed by Linze and his men, the rest committed suicide by taking poison."

"And the back of their necks..."

Xie Nanyuan glanced over, and Lin Ze understood. He turned the corpse over, ripped open the clothes at the back of the neck, revealing a lifelike wild goose totem.

Xie Nanyuan said, "Your Majesty, please look! This is the totem of the Chen Kingdom's Royal Secret Guard. I once saw this totem when I infiltrated the Chen Kingdom's military camp, so I recognized it immediately."

Xie Rong walked forward, took a look, and was immediately filled with anger.

Although he had never seen the totem of the Chen Kingdom's royal secret guards, he had heard of it.

These assassins must be the secret guards of the State of Chen.

The State of Chen agreed to a ceasefire on the surface, but secretly sent secret guards to sneak into the capital to assassinate Yuan'er. What was their intention?

Xie Nanyuan placed his hands on his chest and said, "Father, since these secret guards were able to sneak into the enclosure quietly, there must be someone behind the scenes helping them. I'm afraid there's a traitor within the court."

Xie Rong's expression was solemn, and he obviously knew the seriousness of the situation. He said angrily, "These bastards!"

If he dares to assassinate Yuan'er today, he will have to assassinate him, the emperor, tomorrow!

Xie Rong took a deep breath, calmed himself, and said to Xie Nanyuan, "I know about this matter, and I will definitely send people to investigate it with all my strength."

"Since you're injured, don't worry about so many things. Just take good care of yourself."

"Yes." Xie Nanyuan agreed.

Then Xie Rong expressed concern for Xie Nanyuan for a few more words and let him leave.

As soon as Xie Nanyuan left, the smile on Xie Rong's face disappeared completely.

He sat on the dragon throne, his entire body shrouded in shadows. After a long pause, he spoke softly, "Who do you think this traitor could be?"

He asked casually and did not specify who to answer.

None of the confidants in the hall dared to answer, even Li Shunquan lowered his head and pretended not to hear.

Fortunately, Xie Rong quickly pulled himself out of this emotion, handed the matter over to Long Wei to investigate, and continued to handle government affairs.

Li Shunquan felt relieved when he saw this, and he raised his sleeves to gently wipe the sweat from his forehead.

-

small garden.

Xie Qian'an was sitting on a stone bench in a moon-white brocade robe, his eyes looking forward from time to time, as if he was waiting for someone.

Suddenly, a faint sound of footsteps was heard in the silent air, coming from far away.

Xie Qian'an stood up immediately, and saw Zhou Lingyi, who was wearing a pink skirt and was more beautiful than a flower, appear in his sight.

He took two quick steps forward and hugged the person in his arms.

"Yier, thank you for your hard work."

Zhou Lingyi leaned against Xie Qi'an's arms and said softly, "It's not hard. It's my honor to be able to help His Highness solve his problems."

Thinking of what he had told her, Xie Qian'an reached out and stroked Zhou Lingyi's face, pulling her away a little. Looking into her eyes, he asked, "Yier, how is the matter I asked you to ask?"

It turned out that after Shen Qionghua fell off the cliff, Xie Qian'an repeatedly recalled the situation and always felt that there was something wrong with Shen Qionghua's reaction at the time.

If a normal girl encounters this situation, she should cling to her life-saving straw tightly. Why would she choose to jump off a cliff?

The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became, and the more uneasy he felt. This uneasiness reached its peak when the person he sent to spy at the palace gate came back and told him that Shen Qionghua and Xie Nanyuan had returned together.

Therefore, he asked Zhou Lingyi to go to Shen Qionghua to test and see if he could find out anything.

Zhou Lingyi twisted the handkerchief in his hand when he heard this.
