The Fourth Prince and the Third Prince had something else to do. After visiting His Highness the Crown Prince, they returned to the palace. Because Zhao Yao was worried about the eighth prince's injury, he did not return to the palace with the fourth prince, but stayed in Hulong Temple to guard the eighth prince.
At first, Zhao Yao wanted to stay, and the fourth prince was worried. After all, the prince was assassinated just last night, and there might be a second assassination. It was too dangerous for Zhao Yao to stay in Hulong Temple. However, Zhao Yao told him that Emperor Zhou Wu had sent people to tighten the defense of Hulong Temple, and there would be no second wave of assassins.
Seeing that Zhao Yao insisted on staying and taking care of the eighth prince, the fourth prince had no choice but to agree to him. If the fourth prince did not want to study history, he would stay with Zhao Yao.
Before leaving, the fourth prince repeatedly told Zhao Yao to pay attention to safety and not to tire himself out by taking care of the eighth prince.
To the fourth prince, the seriously injured eighth prince was not as important as Zhao Yao.
At this time, in the eighth prince's room, Zhao Yao stood aside and watched Yu Hai feed the eighth prince medicine.
Although the Eighth Prince was unconscious, fortunately he could still drink medicine. However, the Eighth Prince's fever still did not subside.
The eighth prince's forehead and face were extremely hot, which made Yu Hai and Zhao Yao particularly worried. The imperial doctor said that people who were seriously injured would have fever, which would last for several days. If the fever does not subside after several days, it is dangerous.
Zhao Yao remembered that when he was sick and had a fever before, Liang Zhaoyi would wipe his body with warm water every once in a while to cool down. Zhao Yao told Yu Hai to also wipe the eighth prince's body with warm water.
Yu Hai wiped the Eighth Prince's body with warm water every hour, and it seemed to have some effect. The Eighth Prince's whole body seemed not as hot as before.
Because he was worried about the Eighth Prince, Zhao Yao didn't even have the appetite to eat the vegetarian food at Hulong Temple.
Seeing that Zhao Yao was so worried about the eighth prince, Yu Hai sighed in his heart that the eighth prince's love for Zhao Yao was not in vain.
While the Eighth Prince was in coma, he kept frowning and his expression looked very painful.
"Myna must be in pain." Although Zhao Yao did not see the two wounds on the eighth prince's abdomen, he knew that the two wounds were very deep when he saw blood stains on the gauze that wrapped his abdominal wounds.
He reached out and touched the eighth prince's frown, trying to smooth it out.
"Bago, you have to wake up quickly, so that you can recover quickly." Zhao Yao gently shook the eighth prince's hand, "Bago, if you don't wake up, I won't have the appetite to eat the delicious vegetarian food from Hulong Temple. ”
Yu Hai's eyes were red with tears in his eyes, and his voice was choked with sobs as he said: "Your Highness, Your Highness will definitely wake up."
"Well, myna will definitely wake up."
At this time, the prince came in. Zhao Yao hurriedly stood up and saluted, but the prince raised his hand to stop him.
"Tenth brother, there is no need to be so polite here."
"Yes, Brother Prince."
The prince reached out and touched Zhao Yao's little head, and said warmly: "Tenth brother, I will guard the eighth brother while you go and rest for a while."
"Brother Prince, let me and you guard the Eighth Brother." Zhao Yao said obediently, "With the two of us guarding the Eighth Brother, maybe the Eighth Brother can wake up early."
Hearing what Zhao Yao said, the prince's eyes softened, and his tone was gentle: "Okay, let's guard together."
The prince sat beside the eighth prince's bed, and Zhao Yao lay at the end of the eighth prince's bed. The prince talked to the sleeping eighth prince as usual: "Father has ordered uncle and General Shen to investigate this assassination together. The results will surely come soon." Because he was worried about Zhao Yao's presence, the prince did not Express his doubts. "The assassins who assassinated me are dead warriors. Their skills are treacherous. Some of them look like dead warriors from the Wang family, Xun family, Yuan family and Yu family. I don't know which family they are dead warriors from."
Zhao Yao lay on the end of the bed and listened quietly to the prince's words without interrupting rashly.
Who is going to assassinate the prince's brother?
Second brother?
When something happens to the prince's brother, the first person to be suspected is the second brother. The second brother also knew this and would not be stupid enough to send an assassin to kill the prince brother.
Furthermore, if the second brother wanted to assassinate the prince brother, he would have started the assassination a few years ago. There is no need to wait until now. After all, the prince brother comes to Hulong Temple every year to pray for blessings.
He shouldn't be the second brother.
Third brother and fifth brother, or sixth brother's people?
Probably.
The Wang family, Xun family, and Yuan family behind Third Brother and the others are second only to the Xie family, and they are never willing to remain second to the Xie family. It has long been obvious that they support the third prince and their fight for that position, but they are temporarily unable to compete with the Zhenguo Duke's Palace and the Xuanping Marquis Palace, so they have not made any big moves.
The Wang family and the Xun family didn't cause trouble because they wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers, and watch the people from the prince's elder brother's party and the second brother's party fight. Only when they fight to the death can they reap the benefits.
However, it is not ruled out that the Wang family and the Xun family secretly fanned the flames and added fuel to the flames, making the fight between the prince's brother's party and the Dai Wang's party even more fierce.
The third brother will become a king next year, and no information about his fief has been leaked yet. There is also no news about whether the third brother will go to the fief or stay in the capital when he becomes an adult.
The Wang family supports the third prince to fight for that position, and it is impossible not to plan for him at all. As for the third prince's fiefdom, the Wang family must be interested in a place not far from the capital. The Wang family must also want to keep the third prince in the capital.
When a prince comes of age and becomes a queen, he usually goes to his own fief. There are pros and cons to going to your own fiefdom. On the plus side, returning to the fiefdom can cultivate and strengthen one's own power. If it's bad, staying away from the capital means staying away from the center of power. In addition, we will receive news of what happened in the capital a little later, and what we want to do will also be a little late.
The Wang family wanted the third prince to continue to stay in the capital like the Dai Wang. Furthermore, there is another advantage to staying in the capital, that is, it can please the emperor.
Mr. Dai Wang is now at the height of his power, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is shorter than him, needless to say, the Wang family and others. If you want to deal with Dai Wang, you can only use extraordinary means.
It is also possible that the Wang family, the Xun family, and the Yuan family cooperated to assassinate His Highness the Crown Prince and put the blame on King Dai.
Even if Dai Wang was favored again, assassinating the crown prince would be a serious crime. Emperor Wu of Zhou could not favor him, and would only be dealt with according to national law.
Of course, it is not ruled out that King Dai sent someone to assassinate him. When the prince was assassinated, King Dai was the first to be suspected. Because of this, many people thought that King Dai could not be so stupid. Dai Wang took advantage of this and assassinated the prince.
Zhao Yao said silently in his heart that both the second brother and the third brother might send people to assassinate the prince's brother.
Wait, there are two other people who will also send people to assassinate the prince's brother, that is Queen Xie and Seventh Brother.
Although Queen Xie is the biological sister of the former Queen, Queen Xie is a legitimate daughter and the former Queen is a concubine. Queen Xie was already a bit shorter than the queen because of her young age, so it was impossible for her son to be inferior to the prince's brother.
As long as the prince's brother dies, the seventh brother will be the only legitimate son. According to the rules of the Zhou Dynasty, the prince must be the legitimate son. The prince's brother is gone, and the seventh brother will be appointed as the crown prince immediately.
Except for Fourth Brother, everyone is suspected and has a motive. No matter who it is, it's not surprising at all.
Who on earth is it?
Zhao Yao thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out who was the most suspicious.
Forget it, it has nothing to do with him, so he shouldn't worry about it.
The prince was still talking to the unconscious eighth prince, saying that today he asked a monk to pray for the eighth prince's practice. When Zhao Yao heard this, he sighed in his heart that the prince brother was so kind to Bage. Bage is Brother Prince's savior, and Brother Prince should be kind to Bage.
Zhao Yao listened and fell asleep at the end of the bed.
Seeing that Zhao Yao was asleep, Yu Hai asked the prince for instructions, and then he gently carried Zhao Yao to the next room.
Early this morning, Zhao Yao hurried to Hulong Temple when he heard that the Eighth Prince was seriously injured and did not even bother to eat breakfast. After arriving at Hulong Temple, he stayed at the eighth prince's bedside without rest.
Zhao Yao didn't sleep long before he was woken up by hunger. He didn't eat breakfast, and he didn't eat much for lunch, so his stomach was already growling with hunger.
Tongxi had already guessed that Zhao Yao would be hungry when he woke up, so he asked the kitchen of Hulong Temple to prepare some vegetarian meals for him.
After Zhao Yao woke up, he ate some perfunctorily, and then went to watch the eighth prince's bedside.
I hope that my father can find out the mastermind soon and avenge the prince brother and myna.
At this time, in the imperial study room of Chengguang Hall, Emperor Wu of Zhou was listening to the report of Duke Zhen Guo and Shen Hu.
For most of the day, Zhen Guogong and Chu Ying found a lot of things. They have found out the identity and origin of the assassin. However, they have no intersection with the Wang family, Xun family, Yuan family, and Yu family.
Emperor Wu of Zhou raised his lips and said with a half-smile: "So these assassins have no background?"
Shen Hu said: "It seems like this on the surface, but I feel that these assassins are not simple. If they really don't have any background, where did their weird movement skills come from."
Chu Ying continued what Shen Hu said: "They are obviously dead soldiers, and it is impossible for dead soldiers who have undergone strict training to have no background at all."
Duke Zhen Guo also said: "The identities and origins of these assassins must have been forged."
The identity and origin of the assassin who assassinated the prince before entering Hulong Temple were the same as those of ordinary people. This is very normal. Obviously, their identities and origins are false, and someone has faked everything for them.
"Is this what you found today?"
Listening to Emperor Zhou Wu's calm tone, Shen Hu and Duke Zhen knew that Emperor Zhou Wu was not satisfied with their investigation.
"Your Majesty, forgive me."
Emperor Wu of Zhou said in a deep voice: "I will give you three days. If you can't find out who is behind the scenes, I will not give you mercy!"
"As you command!"
Emperor Zhou Wu glanced at Shen Hu and the others with disgust: "Get lost."
Shen Hu and the others did not dare to hesitate and retreated respectfully.
After walking out of the imperial study, Shen Hu complained to Chu Ying: "I just told you that if you tell the emperor this, the emperor will definitely be unhappy. If you don't listen, you will report it to the emperor."
Chu Ying glanced sideways at Shen Hu and said angrily: "We have been investigating for a whole day, but if we don't report a word to the emperor, the emperor will be even more angry."
The Duke of Zhenguo hurriedly persuaded: "The two generals are not quarreling at this time. We have to think about the next step in the investigation."
"Does the Duke of Zheng have any suggestions?"
Zhao Yao: Bage, please wake up quickly. I still want to have a good meal at Hulong Temple.
Keep asking for monthly votes! Please leave a message! Please give me a reward!
