The emperor left the palace late at night during the Lantern Festival. Not only did he bring half of the palace guards with him, but he also ordered Liu Dechang to personally lead troops to escort him. This formation was definitely a frightening thing to hear.
When Wu Hong, who failed to assassinate Leng Yu again, heard the news, he was even more angry and his face was ashen.
The men in black kneeling in front of him lowered their heads and remained silent, waiting for him to reprimand.
"A bunch of trash."
He suddenly asked, with anger in his voice. At the same time, the chair at his feet was kicked to the ground with such force that the teacup on the table shook.
He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and continued to roar,
"The person who should be killed was not killed, and the emperor was alarmed. If this matter is found out, none of you will survive."
Seeing that he was so angry, the leader hurriedly replied loudly:
"Damn it, you little ones. You didn't expect someone to protect them secretly. You are the ones who underestimated the enemy. Please give us another chance, general."
"Chance?"
Wu Hong suddenly sneered, and the veins on his face were undoubtedly furious at this time, and he murmured,
"Opportunities don't come around all the time. If we fail tonight, Leng Yu's precautions will be even tighter. If you want to take action, it's easier said than done?"
Speaking of this, he suddenly changed his words with a solemn expression and narrowed his eyes:
"You guys, go change into ordinary people's clothes immediately, and leave Beijing early tomorrow morning. Go as far as possible. If you don't spread the news, you won't be able to come back."
Hearing this, those people were so frightened that they turned pale and kowtowed for mercy.
"General, please spare us. We promise to keep it secret and will not tell this matter."
These people were so frightened that they turned pale. They had followed Wu Hong for many years and naturally knew his behavior. If the mission failed, they would die. They must not reveal the identity of their master.
Wu Hong waved to these people with a calm expression.
"You guys are overthinking. You have followed me for many years and have been loyal to me. I naturally know that you will keep your mouth shut, and I will not kill you secretly. I will ask the accountant to give each of you a thousand taels later. With the money, each of you can find a stable place to live, this money will be enough for you to spend the rest of your life."
His words made a few people who were shivering just now suddenly become excited. They kowtowed and thanked them hurriedly.
"Thank you, General, for not killing me. I will definitely keep this matter secret and keep it to myself."
Wu Hong squinted his eyes and nodded slightly, "Go down, clean up, and leave early tomorrow morning."
After thanking him profusely, those people withdrew directly.
Wu Hong's eyes were filled with coldness, and he snorted to himself, "Only dead people keep things they shouldn't have said in their stomachs."
Then, he shouted behind the screen,
"Come out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a man with sharp eyes and a ferocious face walked out from behind the screen. He came to Wu Hong, bowed directly and clasped his fists in salute:
"General, I can see their faces clearly."
Wu Hong frowned and nodded slightly.
"Just have a clear look, and do it far away from the capital. Throw the body directly into the mountains to feed the wolves. It needs to be done cleanly."
When he said this, there was a hint of coldness on his face. Today's mission failed. He failed to kill the person he wanted to kill, but only injured the sixth prince Leng Ming. Therefore, he must not be suspected. Come to his head.
…
Prince Yu's Mansion
The emperor arrived at Prince Yu's Mansion as quickly as possible, and Leng Yu brought everyone in the mansion to pick him up. This was the second time the emperor came since the establishment of Prince Yu's Mansion.
Leng Yu vaguely remembered that the first time he came was when they returned from a great victory on the battlefield. That day, he stayed in Prince Yu's Mansion for a short time. The father and son sat together for a drink for the first time, and then, He was banned for three years, and the emperor never came again after that.
Now, Ming'er was suddenly stabbed, and when he stepped into Prince Yu's Mansion again, his face was filled with anger.
Although Ming'er was not his favorite son, he was the most obedient and sensible child among the princes. He spent all day in the study, and he never disobeyed the emperor's words. Grab it and focus on studying.
Therefore, the emperor, who had always been indifferent to his sons, actually had a certain fondness for Ming'er.
Sitting in the main hall of Prince Yu's Mansion, the emperor's face was dark. He was silent for a while, and finally said sharply:
"How is Ming'er?"
Seeing this, Leng Yu hurriedly bowed and replied:
"Go back to Father, Lan'er is being treated. I don't know the specific situation."
Hearing this, the emperor's brows tightened, then he stood up with his sleeves rolled up and said:
"Take me to see it."
Leng Yu saw this and hurriedly spoke to stop him, "Father, let's wait here for now. No one can disturb Lan'er while she is being treated. She will definitely try her best to cure Ming'er."
"snort!"
The emperor suddenly became furious, and he, who was always suspicious, suddenly asked sharply:
"Why is Ming'er suddenly injured? You three princes are together, why is he the only one injured? He is still young. Is this how you two brothers protect your younger brother?"
Hearing this, Leng Xi, who had always been laughing and joking, lowered his head in shame. Leng Yu felt that he was also at fault. At that time, he was only protecting Lan'er and completely forgot about Ming'er's lack of martial arts.
Before either of them could speak, the emperor once again said in an unquestionable tone:
"Take me to see Ming'er."
After saying this, he ignored everyone's objections and went straight to the west wing of the palace.
At this time, Luo Lan had just ordered a hemostatic needle and anesthetic for Leng Ming, because when he was conscious just now, he was sweating from the pain on his forehead, but now the anesthetic became stronger and he fell asleep.
She had just checked that the arrow was non-toxic and only pierced his shoulder. Fortunately, it did not damage any internal organs. His life was not in danger. As long as the arrow was taken out and the inflammation was treated, he would be fine.
But the arrow must be taken out as soon as possible. After a long time, there is sudden blood loss, which will be troublesome to treat.
She put on disposable gloves and prepared scalpels and other surgical tools. Just as she was preparing for the operation, there was a sudden roar outside.
It turned out that the emperor ignored Leng Yu's obstruction and forced his way into the room where Leng Ming was. However, the room was empty, not even a shadow of a person, so the emperor became furious.
He looked at the bed that still had a trace of blood on it, gritted his teeth and roared,
"Where are the people? Where is Ming'er? Where is Shui Luolan?"
Leng Xi looked at the room for a week without knowing why, and then looked at Leng Yu with a surprised face.
"Fourth brother, I clearly saw them coming in. Where are they? Where are they?"
Leng Yu frowned, clasped his fists at the emperor and said:
"Father, Lan'er's method of treating diseases has always been weird. Didn't King Zhennan's son disappear for a few days before turning the corner? I hope father will give us some time, and we will definitely send Ming'er back to the palace safely. go."
