"Why is no one talking? Could it be that the ninth brother..."

In the middle of Emperor Xuanhui's words, Prime Minister Qin Fengyang stood up and intercepted his words: "Your Majesty, Li Wang was seriously injured by an assassin, and now he has to recuperate in the mansion. Don't you know about this?"

Qin Fengyang's tone didn't sound very peaceful, even his brows were wrinkled.

Emperor Xuanhui said with a worried expression: "How could this happen? The guards didn't report it to me, and such a thing happened?"

Qin Fengyang answered: "Could it be that you dare not report it, after all, who can afford the fact that a dignified prince disappears in the sky prison out of thin air."

"How could this be so? How bold! The Ministry of Punishments! What's going on?" Emperor Xuanhui shouted angrily.

The person who was called was Feng Ru, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment. He hurriedly walked to the hall, looked left and right, didn't know where he was looking, but seeing that Emperor Xuanhui's face became more and more ugly, he had to say: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, the minister has not received the call.The news of the prison guards is due to my negligence on this side, and I will definitely punish them severely in the future!"

"It's inappropriate for Mr. Feng to shirk responsibility like this." Qin Fengyang said with a sideways glance at him.

A drop of cold sweat dripped down Feng Ru's forehead, and he subconsciously looked in a certain direction.

Jin Zhao has been observing his expression, following his line of sight to look at a person.

As expected, it was Zhang Huai.

He lowered his head, and didn't respond to Feng Ru in the slightest, but his face was pale and he looked weak.

Seeing this, Feng Ru hurriedly knelt down and said: "I deserve to die for my crimes. I neglected my duties and caused His Royal Highness Li Wang to almost encounter an accident. Please forgive me this time for the sake of my hard work these years."

Emperor Xuanhui glanced at Qin Fengyang, and there was a deep meaning in his eyes, "Forgive you? You also said that my Ninth Brother was in danger, so how could I forgive you lightly."

"Come here! Drag Feng Ru out, put him in the dungeon, and serve him with severe punishment!"

Following his order, Feng Ru was so frightened that his face turned pale several degrees, and he knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.

After a while, another voice sounded in the hall, "Your Majesty, although the assassination of Li Wang this time is not a trivial matter, but... we should discuss the matter as it is. The previous assassination of the Third Highness has not been completed yet, how can it just go by like this?"

Hearing Zhang Huai's voice, Feng Ru breathed a sigh of relief, and gradually stopped kowtowing.

"The old minister seconded the proposal. It can't be ignored just because he was assassinated. Your Majesty, please investigate the crime of assassinating the prince." Taiwei Cao Zhongqian also echoed.

Immediately afterwards, more and more people in the temple agreed, all claiming that we should discuss the matter as it stands.

Jin Zhao's fist clenched tighter and tighter.

Emperor Xuanhui sighed and said: "After searching for so long, there is no news, and I... have no choice. It is impossible for the ninth brother to do such a thing."

"How is it impossible? How many people died at the hands of Li Wang back then? Your Majesty, you shouldn't be so biased just because he is your younger brother!" Cao Zhongqian said with a fatal blow.

The eunuch hurriedly opened his mouth to ease the atmosphere, "Master Taiwei, please be careful with your words!"

"What the old minister said is the truth. The old minister has lived for so many years and has witnessed many things. King Li... oh..." Cao Zhongqian paused on purpose, and shook his head helplessly.

"This...we'd better wait until the ninth brother recovers from his injury..."

"Your Majesty, in a short while, the envoys of the Duo Jue Tribe will be entering the capital. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid it will be a mess! It's just a joke for others to see. Your Majesty should make a decision as soon as possible." Zhang Huai added,The anger in his eyes was obvious.

"Master Zhang, you are too anxious to make people doubt your intentions."

Just as everyone was waiting for Emperor Xuanhui to make a decision, a figure stepped out from among the civil and military officials.

This person was full of righteousness, and the determination between his brows made people turn their eyes to him.

Zhang Huai also looked at him, his face became more and more cold, "General Cui, what's the matter with you?"
