"Your Majesty, I have something important to report."
Wan Youqing stood alone outside Qianqing Palace.
As the chief inspector in front of the palace, Wan Youqing, the leader of the imperial army, served as the guard, guarded the gates, supervised the troops, and was in charge of the affairs of the front department.
He had a considerable status in the court of Wei Dynasty.
When the little eunuch guarding the door saw Wan Youqing coming over, he didn't dare to slack off: "Please check everyone and wait for a moment, then I will go in and report."
After saying that, the little eunuch quickly entered Qianqing Palace.
At this time, Feng Dabao, the chief eunuch of the palm print, has not left yet and is guarding outside the palace.
The young eunuch stepped forward and said respectfully: "Eunuch Feng, I have asked you to see Your Majesty outside the palace, saying that you have something important to report."
Feng Dabao frowned.
Your Majesty has already gone to bed after dark. Why bother Your Majesty at this time?
"Did Master Du Jian say what happened?" Feng Dabao asked casually.
"No."
"Invite him in first."
"yes!"
After receiving the order, the little eunuch trotted out quickly, walked to Wan Youqing who was still standing outside the door, and said, "Everyone is checking, sir. Eunuch Feng is inside. Please go in first."
They all checked Wan Youqing's head and gestured, and strode towards Qianqing Palace.
After entering the Qianqing Palace, Wan Youqing saw Feng Dabao guarding outside the palace.
Feng Dabao was a Xiantian-level martial artist, and he was castrated. He had a flawless body, and his whole body was full of energy.
But I stayed awake day and night, and I was still energetic the next day.
Recently, the palace has been quite unsafe, so Feng Dabao simply stayed by Emperor Jian'an's side and took on some of the security duties.
Wan Youqing clasped his fists in greeting and said, "Eunuch Feng. I have something important to report to you. Please tell me, please, to convey it to Your Majesty."
Eunuch Feng calmly stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Wait a minute, Your Majesty is busy with important matters."
"My matter is extremely urgent and I can't..."
Just as Wan Youqing was explaining, he heard rustling noises coming from the palace.
It looked like someone was taking off their clothes.
Wan Youqing was stunned, suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but lower his head.
Tonight, Emperor Jian'an was sowing seeds and he happened to catch him.
He was speechless for a moment.
Soon, a young and beautiful woman was wrapped in a quilt and carried out from the palace by four eunuchs.
After seeing that there was no other movement in the palace, Feng Dabao just opened his mouth and shouted: "Your Majesty, all the people in front of the palace are inspected and the guards and generals are in command. Sir Wan Youqing wants to see you."
In the palace, Emperor Jian'an Zhao Meixu said in a rather dissatisfied tone: "Wan Aiqing, what do you want from me at night?"
Wan Youqing clasped his fists and said seriously: "The lower officials are incompetent. Tonight, General Dai Gongzheng, the right guard in front of the palace, and Naegi Wang, the general Su Zhi, were both attacked by assassins and unfortunately killed."
"Where's the murderer?"
Not sure if it was an illusion, Wan Youqing suddenly felt that Emperor Jian'an in the palace was like a volcano about to erupt, and he was trying his best to control his emotions.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little depressing.
Wan Youqing said directly: "Dead!"
Wan Youqing, who has been involved in officialdom for many years, stated the facts directly, hiding all the processes in between, without further explanation.
He was already at fault in this matter. If he really wanted to be held accountable, it would be his subordinates who neglected their duties, and he was responsible for his lax conduct.
The more you explain, the more problems you have.
After hearing this result, Emperor Jian'an's tone obviously softened, and he said in a cold tone: "Have you found anything?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the assassin who has infiltrated the palace has been investigated and dealt with. He was sent by the Korean underworld. He is an assassin with a string number. He is stronger than the two previous assassins. After the investigation by the subordinate, it has been determined that he will be here tonight. The target of the assassination is His Highness the Fifth Prince."
"The fifth son?" Upon hearing this conclusion, Zhao Mixu in the palace was slightly startled. Obviously, he did not expect that someone would assassinate his unpopular fifth son.
Wan Youqing said: "The fifth prince usually goes deep into and out of the palace. There are not many masters around to defend him, so he is targeted by assassins. Now the official has added guards at the East Fifth Institute."
As the emperor of the Wei Dynasty, Zhao Meixu was no idiot. He knew the purpose of South Korea's continuous dispatch of assassins.
There are countless warriors guarding the palace, which is a dragon's pit and a tiger's den for anyone.
If some assassins who are proficient in the art of disguise can infiltrate and successfully assassinate important figures of the royal family, they can build momentum for their coalition forces before the official war begins and improve the morale of Korean soldiers.
South Korea is a small country and the people are weak, so they can only use the sword to take the wrong approach and play this trick.
As the weak link, Zhao Hongming, the fifth child, is indeed an easy target for them.
"Has the Imperial City Division found out how these assassins got into Daliang?"
Feng Dabao said with fear: "Your Majesty, I hope you will forgive me. The Imperial City Department is still investigating."
boom!
The sound of a tea cup being smashed suddenly came from the bedroom.
"How long has passed and we are still investigating." Emperor Jian'an said angrily: "I don't know where the assassin came from, I don't know how he entered Daliang, I don't know how he entered the palace, you tell me how to forgive me?"
"In addition, this is the third time today. Are the Imperial City Department and the Palace Front Department all useless?"
Feng Dabao is really miserable.
Now the Imperial City Secretary has to keep an eye on the warriors who slipped into the beam because of the gods and demons' weapons, and also investigate the assassins.
How can there be so many people?
However, he couldn't say this in front of Zhao Meixu, otherwise it would be suspected of being a shirk to shirk responsibility. He seriously admitted it: "Your Majesty, please punish me."
Wan Youqing followed: "Your Majesty, please punish me."
"There have been problems one after another in the palace, and the two people in charge of the Imperial City Department and the Palace Front Department are both to blame. Neither of you can escape this punishment."
Emperor Jian'an said: "Now that assassins have been able to sneak into the palace many times, there may be someone working inside and outside the palace. You all should investigate carefully. In addition, please arrange more guards for the prince, Di Ji, to ensure their safety."
"It's Your Majesty."
Feng Dabao and Wan Youqing breathed a sigh of relief, especially Wan Youqing, who felt that they had escaped a disaster.
The fact that he also has an 'Innate Realm Assassin' has been concealed for the time being and has not been disclosed.
This matter is just speculation and there is no final conclusion, so it can be said or not.
It’s just that we will face greater pressure in the future.
Once another mistake is made in this regard, it will probably be difficult to get over it in the future.
Emperor Jian'an seemed to have remembered something and said, "I heard that Chen Shangshu's daughter was getting along quite happily with the fifth prince during this time?"
Feng Dabao, the eunuch who held the seal, said: "This is indeed the case."
After thinking for a while, Zhao Meixu said: "I will give Chen Shangshu's daughter a token so that she can enter the palace at any time and stay overnight in the palace."
In Zhao Mixu's eyes, the fifth prince was not important, but his royal status was.
At this critical juncture, countries such as Han and Chu cannot take advantage of the situation.
Otherwise, a small thing can affect the overall situation.
The daughter of the Chen family has a high level of cultivation, so arranging for her to enter the palace may be of some use at a critical moment.
On the other hand, removing the minister of the Ministry of Industry alone will prevent him from becoming a party member with other people, and it will also facilitate checks and balances in the court in the future.
"Your Majesty, I obey." Feng Dabao bowed his head and said yes.
