The door of the imperial study was closed, and He Gu stood at the entrance.

When he saw the few of them coming over, he hurriedly went inside to pass on the information.

Emperor Xuanwu was startled, his sleepless night made him look a little haggard, but as a martial artist, his mental state was not bad.

However, when he thought of the three days, he became agitated again.

He nodded. "Let them in."

He Gu turned and left, and not long later, three people followed him in.

Mo Weinong subconsciously said to He Gu, "You may leave first." As soon as the words left her mouth, she wanted to bite off his tongue.

Damn it, she forgot that she still had Prince Yan and King Cheng by her side.

However, He Gu seemed to be used to this kind of conversation, he bowed and turned to leave, "Yes."

Prince Yan and King Cheng narrowed their eyes, looking at the interaction between the two of them in astonishment, a trace of astonishment flashed across their eyes.

At the same time, both of them looked at the man seated behind the imperial desk — — Emperor Xuanwu, and actually didn't say anything.

They were puzzled, but their strange expressions only flashed by for a moment, and very quickly they regained their respectful expressions, bowing to Emperor Xuanwu.

Seeing this, Mo Weinong was annoyed, she secretly prayed that they would forget about such a small episode.

Looks like he couldn't be too casual in front of the Emperor Xuanwu in the future.

Emperor Xuanwu looked at Yuan Jin, and when his gaze landed on King Cheng, his body suddenly stiffened, "You … King Cheng? How did you get dressed up like this? "

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for dressing up like this to deceive others. This time, upon entering the palace, I heard that Great Lie was assassinated yesterday. This matter is of great importance, if we did not find the culprit and punish him, the relationship between the two countries might break down. Although this subject does not have much ambition, I am still a part of the country and I do not wish to become enemies with the Great Lie because of this matter.

Emperor Xuanwu narrowed his eyes and sized up King Cheng, he had a faint guess in his heart, but he was still unsure. "We do want to find the culprit as soon as possible, it's just that those assassins all committed suicide, there's no more clues."

"Reporting to the emperor, this subject received a secret message. Someone saw an assassin enter during the night … Prince Ji Palace. " Yuan Jin said, as he slightly raised his eyes and exchanged glances with Emperor Xuanwu.

With this sentence, Emperor Xuanwu completely confirmed his thoughts. It seemed that these two people did not want to tolerate the Prince Ji's actions anymore.

He could guess the reason why Yuan Jin was doing this, since the Prince Ji had sent people to assassinate him.

But King Cheng... At this moment, it was a little strange to express one's loyalty.

However, no matter what he planned in his heart, at this moment, the three of them had reached a consensus: — Kill Prince Ji.

Mo Weinong did not say anything to the side, and did her best to not attract anyone's attention.

However, it still caused King Cheng's heart to be filled with doubt.

It was fine if Yuan Jin didn't say anything, since he was his fiancee after all. But judging from their attitude and the fact that he brought his people to the courtyard where he lived last night, Yuan Jin would never avoid her for more private matters.

King Cheng believed that he was fully focused on his wife, but he would never tell his wife about the matters of the court and tried his best to keep it a secret from her. Prince Yan and Mo Weinong were not married yet, and there might be some unforeseen circumstances in the future. He never thought that they would actually be trusted to this extent.

However, what was even more inconceivable to King Cheng was that although he could understand the attitude of the Emperor Xuanwu, he could not.

They were secretly discussing how to deal with the Prince Ji. For such an important matter, he actually did not ask the Female Envoy Mo, whose reputation had only increased recently, to leave?

King Cheng thought, was he really been hiding from the world for too long? It had been a long time since he could understand these people's thoughts.

Another four hours passed, Yuan Jin and Mo Weinong brought … His follower, King Cheng, finally came out from the royal study.

They had all reached an agreement that the Prince Ji must be taken down this time.

However, Prince Yan and King Cheng had another request, which was to only punish Prince Ji and a few other people who knew about it.

Emperor Xuanwu thought that this would be fine, after all, the last words of the ancestors were that unless they wanted to rebel and usurp the throne, they could not use any excuse to exterminate the three kings.

Thus, dealing with the Prince Ji was an urgent matter.

On the morning of the second day, the Emperor Xuanwu discussed the matter regarding Qin Zhenjiang's assassination and summoned the three king to discuss on a solution.

When Prince Ji heard that they had summoned both King Cheng and Prince Yan, he put down his guard.

He firmly believed that the Emperor Xuanwu would not dare to act against him, especially in front of the both of them.

As a result, he dawdled in his residence for a while, before sneering as he entered the palace.

However, when he stood inside the imperial study's great hall, other than him and Emperor Xuanwu, there was no one else.

Prince Ji frowned. He came here a little too late on purpose, there was no reason for the two Prince Yan s to be even later than him.

Emperor Xuanwu who was behind the imperial desk was still reading the imperial report. After hearing his respectful voice, he merely gently raised her hand to let him up, and didn't say anything else.

The royal study was so quiet that even Emperor Xuanwu did not speak for half an hour.

However, the expression in Prince Ji's eyes became darker and darker. He originally had an arrogant personality, and adding on that he had a guilty conscience, he was already particularly concerned about Emperor Xuanwu's motives at this time.

An hour later, Emperor Xuanwu was still reading the imperial report, but Prince Yan and King Cheng had still not come.

Prince Ji finally could not hold it in and asked in a deep voice, "Your majesty, didn't you say you would invite this old subject and King Cheng here to discuss things? Why haven't I seen them? "

"They're not here yet. Let's wait a little longer." Emperor Xuanwu still did not raise his head.

Prince Ji squinted, not yet? How was this possible?

His informants outside the palace had long told him that Prince Yan and Yue Shan had entered the palace fifteen minutes earlier than him.

Now that he hadn't seen him for an hour, something seemed off. Could it be … Something happened?

Prince Ji's heart thumped. He knew that Emperor Xuanwu wasn't a weak character, could it be that he had already stepped on his bottom line when he tried to assassinate Qin Zhenjiang, causing him to start disregarding everything and directly taking care of him?

And he was also afraid that the two from Prince Yan would be apprehensive, so he decided to go all out to take care of the three of them?

No, that's impossible.

Emperor Xuanwu would not do such a thing, the three of them had quite a bit of power, the only possibility was that Emperor Xuanwu did not want to be this Emperor anymore.

That... What was going on with the two of them?

Prince Ji narrowed his eyes. A drop of sweat finally emerged from his forehead.

After pausing for a moment, he still asked in a low voice, "Your majesty, Prince Yan and King Cheng still haven't arrived yet. Could something have happened?"

Emperor Xuanwu was startled, then slowly raised his head.
