Chapter 2388 Assassination

Long Yule returned to Longcheng with a lot of worries. He did not expect to see Li Dai rushing towards him as soon as he entered the palace.

"What happened?" Long Yule was startled and asked quickly.

"Reporting to His Highness Prince Qing, the fifth prince entered the palace for some reason. He wanted to assassinate the emperor, but he was killed by the emperor. However, the emperor was also slightly injured!" Li Dai glanced around and lowered his voice to report.

Long Yule was stunned. Long Yeli assassinated the emperor?

After Long Yule left Lihua Palace, he asked Ah Qian to look for Long Yeli, but Long Yeli had already disappeared. Long Yule couldn't say anything, but asked Ah Qian to find a few guards in the palace to pay attention, but he didn't expect that Long Yeli would assassinate Long Yeqing!

"That's wrong!" Long Yule suddenly thought of something and his eyes darkened.

What Long Yeli wanted was for Long Yeqing to hand over the throne. Logically speaking, he should go to the Queen Mother and reveal that Long Yeqing instigated the eldest prince to assassinate the old Dragon Emperor. It was unjust for Long Yeqing to sit in this seat. It was much more convenient than assassinating the Dragon King himself, so why did he choose the stupidest method?

"Where is the place where the emperor was stabbed?" Long Yule asked.

Li Dai was stunned for a moment and thought: "It's at Liuhaiting!"

Long Yule was even more thoughtful.

Liuhai Pavilion is the name of a man-made lakescape in the harem. Passing by Liuhai Pavilion, you can reach the Duanli Palace of the Empress Dowager!

"His Royal Highness Prince Qing, please don't delay me. Your Majesty still has it with you!" Li Dai said quickly.

"I will go with you!" Long Yule said quickly.

Li waited.

Now Long Yeqing is temporarily resting in the Butterfly Garden in front of Wanghai Pavilion. This is the courtyard where Concubine Yong lived before. After Long Yeqing ascended the throne, the courtyard was renovated. He occasionally stayed here overnight.

When Long Yule arrived, Cheng Yong, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, was exploring the site, and Long Yeli's body was carried out covered with a white cloth.

"Wait!" Long Yule said, stepping forward to stop the guards carrying the body.

The guard stopped.

Long Yule stepped forward, opened the white cloth, and took a look at the person lying down.

It was indeed Long Yeli, and there were purple and black spots on his neck left by the pneumonic plague.

Long Yule looked at the man, a little dazed for a moment. Finally, he forced himself to recover his mind, lifted up the white cloth, and then saw the wounds on his body.

It was a dagger. Long Yule had seen this dagger before. It was Long Yeli's dagger.

Kill with one knife.

Long Yule stared blankly.

"Your Highness Prince Qing, we have to take away the body!" Cheng Yong stepped forward and said.

Long Yule nodded and stepped aside.

The guards covered the body with a white cloth and carried the body away.

"Why is the fifth prince in the palace?" Long Yule asked deliberately, "I heard that the fifth prince was the emperor who was assassinated at Wanghai Pavilion. It is empty everywhere and there are guards everywhere. It is not a good place for an assassination!"

Cheng Yong paused and stepped forward and said: "It is indeed not a good place for an assassination. What's strange is that the emperor did not bring any extra guards at that time, and he was alone in Wanghai Pavilion. Do you think it is a coincidence?"

Long Yule was startled and immediately understood what Cheng Yong meant.

Cheng Yong also saw something fishy in this case.

"I'm going to see the emperor!" Long Yule said.

Cheng Yong nodded.

Long Yule entered the butterfly orchid garden.

Butterfly Garden is now heavily guarded. Mr. Yu was talking to the guards. When he saw Long Yule approaching, he quickly stepped forward and saluted, "Is Prince Qing coming? The Emperor is waiting for you!"
