Chapter 378 The Wind Rises 1

The emperor hadn't noticed anything yet, but the crown prince's heart was secretly startled, and he subconsciously took over the conversation: "Father has been unconscious and doesn't know the whole story. Grandfather ordered people to torture him severely and has found out the truth of the matter."

"The female assassin was sent by Concubine Li Shu. The eunuch who assassinated father was Prince An's man."

"They are so bold that they dare to do such a treasonous thing. Grandfather will definitely seek justice for father and the sixth uncle, and will never let them go."

One sentence after another entered the prince's ears.

There was shock and surprise in the prince's eyes, but his expression gradually calmed down, and he sighed in a weak tone: "I didn't expect that Concubine Li Shu and Prince An would be so cruel!"

The King of Yan is really good!

He actually colluded with Concubine Li Shu and her son in secret! The assassination failed, and all the things were pushed onto Concubine Li Shu and her son, successfully clearing himself.

This is really a strong enemy that cannot be underestimated!

The emperor deliberately comforted the prince a few words, and then got up and left.

Before Ling Jingshu left, she glanced at Wei Yan again.

Wei Yan stared at Ling Jingshu's figure silently, and sighed quietly in his heart. The two were obviously close, but they didn't even have the chance to talk.

Fortunately, the prince has passed the most dangerous days. From now on, he doesn't have to stay by the bed all the time. He can always find a chance to secretly see her.

Thinking of this, Wei Yan's mood improved again.

The prince was in good spirits today, and he ordered someone to help him sit up. He smiled and said to Wei Yan: "This time, thanks to Doctor Wei, you snatched my life back from the hands of the King of Hell. The grace of saving my life, no matter how to thank him, it's too light. From now on, Doctor Wei is a distinguished guest of the Prince's Mansion. No matter what you ask for, I will agree to you."

The prince's promise is much heavier than that of the Crown Prince.

Wei Yan did not refuse and solemnly accepted the grace: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I will accept it with a thick face. I have not bathed or changed clothes in the past few days, which is unsightly. Now I will take my leave for the time being."

The prince smiled and nodded in agreement.

…

After Wei Yan left, the Crown Prince ordered the servants to leave as well.

Only the father and son were left in the room.

"Father, I'm sorry." The Crown Prince said in a low voice with a guilty look: "It was all because I was too confident and conceited that I didn't take the Prince of Yan seriously. I didn't expect him to set up such a sophisticated and ruthless assassination. It almost caused my father's death..."

The prince was also afraid when he thought of the assassination that day. He interrupted the Crown Prince's self-blame with a bitter smile: "Don't talk about you. I didn't expect him to be so meticulous and ruthless. I didn't expect that he would also drag Li Shufei and her son into the water."

"This Prince of Yan is only 18 years old, but he already has such a scheming mind. It's really unexpected."

Speaking of this, the prince's forehead was sweating, and his voice became weaker: "Ayao, this matter is not your fault, you don't have to blame yourself. Fortunately, I saved this life. As long as I live one day, the Prince of Yan will never take away the position of the crown prince."

"However, we can't let the Prince of Yan be arrogant anymore. After this matter is over, we will take the initiative to deal with the Prince of Yan! Get rid of him as soon as possible!"

A trace of cold murderous intent flashed in the prince's eyes!

A cold light flashed across the eyes of the Crown Prince, but his voice was quite calm: "Father, rest assured and take care of your health. Leave these things to me!"

Compared to the cold and stern before, the current Crown Prince is much calmer, like a sharp sword with a scabbard. The edge is completely restrained, and it will only be unsheathed when the enemy appears.

The prince looked at the Crown Prince like this, and his heart was secretly relieved.

After this incident, the Crown Prince has shed the overconfidence and impetuousness of a young man, and has truly matured.

"Okay, I'll leave this to you." The prince looked at the Crown Prince deeply: "I'm poisoned this time, I don't know how long it will take to recover. What I'm leaving to you is not only dealing with the King of Yan. There are more important things for you to do."

"The affairs of the court and the people are more important than dealing with the King of Yan!"

Don't let hatred cloud your mind!

The Crown Prince solemnly agreed.

...

At this time, Ling Jingshu was visiting the King of Yan with Concubine Wei Xian and the emperor.

Although the Crown Prince was poisoned, he had no external injuries, and he looked okay overall.

The Prince of Yan was wounded by a sword.

The wound on his chest was very deep, almost hurting his heart and lungs. The Prince of Yan lost too much blood, his handsome face was pale, and his chest was in great pain and tied with layers of gauze, so he couldn't move. He just lay there motionless, looking particularly miserable.

When the emperor saw the Prince of Yan, he couldn't help but think of the scene where the Prince of Yan flew to block the sword for him, and pity and distress suddenly surged in his heart.

The emperor sat down beside the bed, held the Prince of Yan's hand and asked: "How do you feel today? Does the wound on your chest still hurt?"

The Prince of Yan cheered up and smiled: "My son only suffered superficial injuries, nothing serious. Father, don't worry. By the way, how is my brother? Has the poison been cleared?"

Why didn't he kill him at that time?

It was all Ling Jingshu, who reacted so quickly. If she hadn't reminded him, the prince wouldn't have alertly moved away, and the poison needle would have pierced deeper. If she hadn't fed the prince the detoxification pill in time, the poison would have spread through the blood...

The King of Yan couldn't help but glance at Ling Jingshu, who was silent and bowed her head. After all, she was the woman he liked, so he couldn't bear to blame her. After thinking about it, he decided to put the blame on Wei Yan.

We can't touch Wei Yan now. When he gets better, he will find a way to kill Wei Yan sooner or later!

Yan Wang was thinking evil thoughts in his heart, but his face was full of concern.

The emperor smiled happily and said, "Dr. Wei has worked hard for a few days and has cleared the poison in the prince's body. His life is not in danger, just take care of it slowly. You can rest assured and recover, and don't worry about the prince."

Although he knew that the possibility of the prince's sudden death was slim, the king of Yan still felt depressed when he heard the bad news.

After nearly a year of careful planning, he almost lost his life, but he didn't expect that he would fail in the end! Just thinking about it makes me want to vomit blood in frustration.

The prince is fine, but he will be the one to have trouble next.

The emperor was blinded and couldn't see the truth. The prince and the grandson knew that he was the one who did it.

In the past, the prince was proud of his status and didn't take the initiative to deal with him. After this incident, I'm afraid he won't show any mercy.

After all, the prince has the title of crown prince, and he has a good reputation both inside and outside the court, and he has a large number of officials who support orthodoxy. The power is beyond his reach.

He can only rely on himself and the emperor's favor. Comparing the two, the difference is obvious!

The King of Yan sighed inwardly, but he was not depressed or upset.

He has survived the worst situation. He does not need to be afraid of the turbulent situation that will come next!
