As early as half a quarter of an hour ago, the news had reached Zichen Palace.
The news came from Fengchen Wei Zhonglang, Dou Can. Zhu Yi was ordered to leave the palace. The one accompanying him in the palace was Huo Shen.
The palace is heavily guarded and the emperor cannot leave the Zichen Palace. Even if Zhu Yi is not there, there will be no problem with the emperor's safety.
Huo Shen took this job very lightly.
But the moment he received the news from outside the palace, Huo Shen was so regretful that his intestines turned green. ——He should not have agreed to replace Feng Kang with another lieutenant!
He simply couldn't imagine how furious the emperor would be if he knew the news.
This...this is what Feng Kang should have suffered!
"I didn't hear you clearly, please say it again." Emperor Yongning stared at Huo Shen and said warmly.
His five-piece jade Ruyi had fallen to the ground, but Xue Gong did not dare to pick it up.
Everyone in the Zichen Palace lowered their heads and held their breath, as if they wished they didn't exist.
The emperor was still in his prime, how could he not hear the report clearly?
It’s just because the news is too shocking to be believed.
Huo Shen gritted his teeth and reported again: "Your Majesty, Vice General Zhu sent news that Yu Youtang, the leader of Daodong Palace Zuo, suddenly lost control and tried to harm the Crown Prince, but instead injured His Highness Changding and was seriously injured by Vice General Zhu!"
He finished reporting in one breath and subconsciously touched his neck, as if to confirm whether the head on his neck was still there.
He never wanted to tell this kind of fatal news again.
Who would have thought that when Vice General Zhu went out of the palace, the palace was safe and sound, but that something happened to him instead?
No, no, no, it was not Vice General Zhu who was in trouble, but Yu Zuo and the two highnesses...
Huo Shen couldn't even explain the chaos in the martial arts pavilion.
Emperor Yongning closed his eyes and then asked the most concerned person: "Is the prince injured?"
"His Royal Highness, everything is well. He is currently being closely guarded by Wuge soldiers and has rushed to Wuge." Huo Shen replied with difficulty, his heart still high.
This is probably the greatest blessing among misfortunes. This is the only good news.
Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is fine!
Otherwise, if the prince of the country is injured, this will definitely cause turmoil in the country, and I don’t know how much bloodshed it will cause!
Hearing this answer, Emperor Yongning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then issued several orders: "Order Feng Chenwei to come out of the palace to take the prince back to the palace, order the four guards in the palace to surround the East Palace Palace, summon Huang Pushan, and Dou Cong, the Minister of War, Enter the palace!"
After issuing these orders, Emperor Yongning had time to care about other things.
"How is Changding's injury? How did the turmoil in the martial arts pavilion begin?"
Huo Shen's face turned earthy and he replied: "Back to the Emperor, I... don't know."
Due to the urgency of the matter, what Vice General Zhu sent back was only the most important news. There was no mention of His Highness Changding's injury. Regarding the cause of the incident, he only replied with "still under investigation".
Huo Shen didn't know what the commotion in Wuge was about or what the current situation was in Wuge because Huo Shen was not at the scene.
But it seems that Vice General Zhu did not mention His Highness Changding's injury, so his life must be safe.
Compared to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness Chang Ding is indeed nothing.

At the same time, in the meeting hall of Wuge, Zheng Zheng, who was at the top, Zhao Shuao, Zheng Qiong and others all looked extremely ugly.
Zhu Yi stood in the center of the meeting hall. His silver-white Qilin suit was still stained with blood. He was as straight as a pine tree, and his face... was covered with a silver mask. Naturally, there was no expression on his face.
Although he came out of the palace on the emperor's order only to see the martial arts competition, and did not intend to be exposed in front of others, he was cautious by nature. Whenever he left the palace, he would cover himself with a mask to prevent unexpected situations.
He also didn't expect that this errand, which he thought would be safe, would turn out to be out of control.
Why did Yu Youtang, the leader of the East Palace Zuo, suddenly become violent and want to hurt the prince?
You must know that Yu Youtang is the chief official of the East Palace and is in charge of
How could the soldiers guarding the East Palace, who were supposed to be protecting His Highness the Crown Prince, attack His Highness the Crown Prince with sharp swords?
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zhu Yi wouldn't believe it.
Hidden in the darkness, he could see clearly that Yu Youtang's long knife had indeed struck the prince. If His Highness Chang Ding hadn't blocked it desperately, the prince would have been injured.
Although His Highness Chang Ding was blocking him, Yu Youtang was the person with the highest martial arts skills in the East Palace. His Highness Chang Ding was far from his opponent. At the critical moment, he had to take action and stop Yu Youtang.
Yu Youtang obviously lost his mind and his eyes were red, but his martial arts skills were not lost. On the contrary, because of his confusion, his moves were more vicious and more lethal than when he was awake.
All the moves were killing moves. Even Zhu Yi couldn't completely control it. In desperation, he had to cut off one of his arms and seriously injured him into unconsciousness to stop the commotion.
Although the riot has stopped, cleaning up the situation afterwards is the most troublesome thing.
Zhu Yi thought he couldn't deal with this matter, so all he could do was wait for the palace's decree.
Because of Yu Youtang, all the hundreds of East Palace guards brought by the prince were under guard.
Zhu Yi did not dare to take the risk to bring His Highness the Crown Prince back to the palace. What if he encountered something along the way?
The safest way is to wait for the soldiers from the palace to arrive.
"Your Highness, there are soldiers guarding the meeting hall inside and outside now. Please be patient and wait for the palace's arrangements." Although Zhu Yi's voice sounded childish, no one dared to disobey him.
Even Zheng Zheng, after shaking his fist several times, replied in a hoarse voice: "I know, I'll help you, Lieutenant General Zhu."
Zhu Yi was the deputy general of Feng Chenwei and the most trustworthy general around his father. Even if he seriously injured his Donggong Zuo rate, he could not be angry and should be grateful for his trust.
Because Yu Youtang's long sword was coming towards him, and everyone in the martial arts arena could clearly see it!
Zheng Zhenghua's robe was also stained with a little blood, and although the golden crown on his head had been straightened, the chaos at that time could still be seen.
After the turmoil broke out, he was desperately protected by Zhao Shuao, Zheng Qiong and others, and was then escorted to the meeting hall.
At that time, he couldn't react at all. If Chang Ding hadn't pulled him out, he might...maybe he would be the injured person now.
All this happened so suddenly and so fast that even though he sat down in the meeting hall, his mind was still buzzing and he couldn't think at all.
The only thing he felt was that it turned out that this was an assassination? Was your father like this back then?
My mind went blank, my hands and feet were completely stiff, and there was no reaction at all.
He closed his eyes hard and forced himself to calm down.
Yu Youtang is a person he trusts and there is no way he will assassinate him!
Although he didn't know what happened, he knew that all of this must be related to Chang Ding!
