Chapter 985: The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (One hundred and seven)
The emperor's men were halfway through their investigation. Just when they discovered that the prince's aide had been in contact with a martial arts master, the aide fell into the water and died, and the clue was cut off.
The emperor ordered further investigations, but was unable to confirm who had ordered the assassination. It was stated that the crown prince had done it, but the emperor didn't believe it. He felt his crown prince wasn't that stupid. If he missed, and he survived, he could be held accountable and deposed.
The mistakes made by the prince have not touched the emperor's bottom line, so the emperor will not depose the prince for the time being.
The emperor's secret guards investigated and found that the fourth prince and the third prince were closely related to the assassination, but there was no conclusive evidence.
The emperor himself judged that the third brother might have used the prince's hand to gain his attention by rescuing him, while the fourth brother wanted to take the opportunity to kill the third brother and others. This is why the emperor had a feeling that those people would not kill him when facing the first batch of assassins. Because the emperor's death would not benefit the third brother.
Although the fourth prince is already Prince Shun, there is a huge difference between the new emperor being a brother and a father.
The emperor admitted that he was too soft-hearted to kill his own sons. He could not bring himself to kill all of them, but he was also reluctant to demote them to commoners and leave them with nothing.
The emperor felt aggrieved and depressed. At most, he called his sons over and gave them a good scolding, asking them to pay more attention to the affection between brothers and not to quarrel with each other. The princes all looked well-behaved and sensible, and they were very respectful to each other in front of the emperor.
Ever since the emperor heard his seventh son's voice, he'd become suspicious of his other sons, believing them to be hypocritical and hypocritical. He ordered the destruction of the jianghu organization, determined to intimidate the martial artists and also to warn his sons not to provoke him again.
The second group of killers were indeed islanders. To be more precise, they were from a small country on the Fuchen Island. They started out as pirates and established the Fuchen Kingdom. The people of this country were extremely vicious, and robbery and killing were just basic operations.
Zhao State's sea route to the east was cut off by Fuchen State. Zhao State's merchant ships and official ships would take detours to avoid the waters controlled by Fuchen State.
The island country is still too small. The monarch of Fuchen country has sent troops to invade the coastal areas several times, and his wolfish ambitions are obvious.
The killers from Fuchen Kingdom were able to sneak into the hunting ground and learn the whereabouts of the emperor, but it was the Mongolians who intervened behind the scenes. The two countries cooperated, one providing manpower and the other providing information and helping the killers enter the hunting ground. Their goal was to kill the emperor and princes of Zhao Kingdom.
The emperor was not a merciful person towards outsiders. If the envoys participated in it, they would lose their lives. The remaining envoys valued their lives and naturally stayed in their houses every day and dared not come out. They did not dare to complain even when they were locked up.
The emperor was in a bad mood recently and directly ordered Wei Ying to eliminate all the enemy spies in the capital.
With just one word from the emperor, Wei Ying got busy. Within half a month, the water in the moat turned red.
The weather is getting colder and soon it will snow heavily.
It is said that auspicious snow means a good harvest, but continuous heavy snow is not a good thing either.
Snowflakes had been floating in the sky for three days. It stopped falling on the morning of the fourth day and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If the snow had continued to fall, many people's houses would have been crushed. It was not easy to clear the snow in the cold weather. For the poor and destitute, misfortune would have happened if they had been hungry and cold.
Fortunately, the snow stopped and a rainbow appeared in the sky. People came out of their homes and marveled at the rainbow.
When the sky is clear and the snow melts, it is the coldest time.
At this time, bad news came from the Eastern Palace. The Crown Prince was dead, and even the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince were almost burned to death.
Qingli was stunned for a moment when she heard the news.
