Standing next to the man in black was a middle-aged man in black armor, with a saber hanging by his side, with a firm face.

Hearing his words, Emperor Xuanhui slowly raised his eyes, turned his gaze to those assassins, and in an instant, his eyes were full of coldness.

He got up and walked over, glanced at the middle-aged man, and asked, "Cao Jin, have you found out who is behind the scenes?"

The man named Cao Jin said with a serious face: "No, they refused to disclose, so the last general handed them over to His Majesty."

Hearing this, Emperor Xuanhui pulled out the saber beside him, and put it on the neck of one of them without hesitation.

"How dare you set your mind on the prince, say! Who is behind the scenes?"

As Emperor Xuanhui's voice fell, Shen Li led Xunfeng into the door.

The assassin knelt on the ground and buried his head low. Even though the knife was already on his neck, he still had no intention of opening his mouth.

"Your Highness, you are here." The palace man at the door shouted hastily, and then, the people in the palace turned their eyes to look at him from time to time.

Shen Li walked in without stopping.

Emperor Xuanhui's hand holding the handle of the knife trembled without a trace, causing the blade to quickly scratch the man's neck.

Hearing a "hiss", the assassin said with a sigh of relief: "We are dead warriors. We are not afraid of life and death for the orders of our master. No matter how much you ask, we will not reveal it."

"I can make you die right now!" Emperor Xuanhui kicked the man over, and the sword directly hit his chest.

The assassin glanced sideways, and said in a strong tone: "If the emperor wants to kill, he will do as he pleases."

As soon as the words fell, Emperor Xuanhui raised the saber in his hand and slashed at the man's chest. Blood splashed quickly, and the man died instantly.

Seeing this, several other assassins in a row looked at each other, and immediately took out the pills in their sleeves and stuffed them into their mouths.

In an instant, they fell to the ground one after another.

Seeing this, Cao Jin quickly went to investigate the situation of those people.

"Your Majesty, these people have committed suicide by taking poison, and died of exhaustion. The third prince..."

Emperor Xuan Hui threw down the knife angrily, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes, "Investigate! This matter... I must investigate it thoroughly! I really want to see who is so reckless!"

"It took only one day to find out about Li Wang?" Jin Zhao frowned, looking at Cui Fengzhi and asked.

"Who knows? It is said that the badges of the guards of Li Wangfu were found on those assassins, and... all signs point to Li Wang. In order to convince the public, the emperor had to have him detained first."

"It's impossible!" Cui Fengzhi had just finished speaking, and Jin Zhao answered without thinking much.

He didn't remember such a passage in the original plot, and...before Shen Li rebelled and was killed, although he was assassinated many times, and the courtiers who stood on the opposite side of him had also opposed him, but he had never been tricked, but why did this happen suddenly?

And... he is usually considered a manipulative position in the court, so he was detained so hastily?

So... what went wrong?

Cui Fengzhi was also a little surprised at his affirmation, "Li Wang is a deep-minded person. For him, nothing is absolutely certain. You...don't be disturbed by what he helped you last time.In front of you, some people really can’t tell.”

Jin Zhao: "But what's the point of him doing this kind of thing? The third prince has been deposed, so no one should care about his life or death, right? Besides, with his current status, is it worth taking the risk to assassinate the third prince?"

Cui Fengzhi sighed: "What you said is reasonable, but... the royal affairs are not something we can interfere with. You just need to take care of yourself. I also want to say that last time you disagreed with him, I saidYou said a few words, but you never thought that this time you are actually on his side with all your heart."

Jin Zhao turned his eyes slightly, hiding his thoughts, "I'm just talking about the facts."
