Chapter 268 The Emperor's Man
Chapter 268 The Emperor's Man
But when Prince Dingyuan heard that the emperor's men were keeping an eye on Prince Xian's mansion, he found it a little unbelievable.
"It is absolutely true. At first, I thought the other party was deliberately setting up a maze. I followed him three times before I was sure that the man was the one appointed by the emperor. Moreover, he was Qi Ting's subordinate and his Qinggong was quite impressive."
"The Emperor's people? But why would the Emperor send people to keep an eye on Prince Xian's Mansion for no reason?" Prince Dingyuan frowned, looking very puzzled.
Logically speaking, after so many years, the Emperor should not be so wary of the Virtuous King. Besides, the Virtuous King does not participate in court affairs, so why should the Emperor be on guard against him?
"When did the emperor's men appear there? Was it before or after the marriage was granted?" Prince Dingyuan had no idea what he was thinking about and spoke seriously.
"To answer your Highness, it was on the night after the marriage was granted, when the imperial decree was read out."
"That is to say, although the emperor granted marriage to the son of Xian Wanghe and the daughter of An Zhenyuan, he actually did not trust them in his heart."
The secret guard did not speak. Wu Tai glanced at Prince Dingyuan and nodded slightly, "I think so too. Although the emperor has relaxed his vigilance against the two families, he is still on guard."
"This is interesting. He clearly doesn't trust her, but he still wants to grant the marriage. What is the emperor thinking?" Prince Dingyuan snorted coldly.
“According to this prince, the one His Majesty should be most wary of is not the virtuous prince, but An Zhenyuan.
He married someone else's daughter to a monk for no reason. Who would want their daughter to suffer like this?
If this king, with so many soldiers and horses at his disposal, heard this imperial decree, he would immediately lead his men back from the border to fight back, and see if he dared to issue an imperial decree to grant marriage. "
Wu Tai glanced at King Dingyuan and fell silent. He had no way to respond to this.
"Okay, besides this, is there anything else unusual happening in the Xianwang Mansion recently?"
"No, because the Xian Wang's son is getting married, everyone in the Xian Wang's mansion has been busy preparing for all matters recently. I haven't noticed anything unusual yet."
"Okay, go down and keep an eye on it. Report back as soon as you get any news."
After sending away the secret guards who were monitoring Prince Xian's palace, Prince Dingyuan looked at Wu Tai again.
"What do you think about this matter? These three forces have all set their sights on the Xianwang Mansion."
"Your Majesty, I dare not jump to conclusions, but the wise king should be more careful. Even if a tiger falls asleep, it is still a tiger. It will never turn into a kitten."
"In my opinion, it is not necessary. The wise king cares most about his wife. As long as we don't do anything against him, even a tiger will not go crazy for no reason."
Prince Dingyuan shook his head, as if he remembered what happened before, and then snorted.
"Your Majesty is a man who is suspicious and can hardly change."
“Sitting in that position, it’s natural to be suspicious,” Wu Tai agreed.
"By the way, how is Tiancheng these past two days? Has he been taking his medicine properly?" King Dingyuan quickly put this matter behind him.
"I don't know about this, but according to the servants, the prince has been taking his medicine well. Although he is sometimes in a bad mood and gets angry, he still takes medicine after the temper tantrum, and he doesn't do anything else."
"Well, that's good. Tell those two people to keep a close eye on Tiancheng. This brat is quite cunning." Hearing that Wu Tiancheng took the medicine on time, King Dingyuan felt relieved.
What he was most worried about was his son. He also regretted spoiling his son to this extent and not educating him well, resulting in him becoming a person who is neither good at literature nor martial arts.
But now that things have come to this, it is too late for him to regret.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I see that after what happened last time, the prince has become much more sensible than before."
Others didn't dare to say this, but Wu Tai had a good relationship with King Dingyuan, and he had watched Wu Tian grow up, so King Dingyuan didn't get angry when he said this.
"I hope so." King Dingyuan was somewhat helpless.
For the rest, the two chatted about some news about Yicheng.
An Qingqian thought it was of no value and turned away.
She had just dodged the guards in the yard and climbed over the wall when she suddenly heard a voice behind her: "There's an assassin! Come and catch the assassin!"
An Qingqian thought someone had discovered her, so she quickly hid under a tree trunk and looked back, only to see more torches in the yard. But it was obvious that the so-called "assassin" was in the yard, not her.
An Qingqian originally wanted to leave, but suddenly became curious about who this assassin was.
She was also in the academy just now, how come she didn't notice that there were people with the same goal as her?
An Qingqian glanced around, flew directly to the roof opposite, hid his body at a corner, and then looked across.
There were more and more torches in the courtyard, illuminating the entire courtyard very brightly, and the situation inside could be seen at a glance.
At first, An Qingqian did not notice the presence of the assassin, but after a while, she saw a man in a green robe fighting with the guards of the academy.
The man was wearing a veil, so his appearance could not be seen, but An Qingqian inexplicably felt as if she had seen him somewhere.
However, this place was quite far away from the assassin, and the firelight kept flickering, so An Qingqian was not sure if she was dazzled or not.
The assassin was very skilled. In just half a quarter of an hour, most of the guards surrounding him were seriously injured.
What made An Qingqian feel strange was that even though such a big thing happened here, King Dingyuan and Wu Tai did not come out.
It is understandable that Prince Dingyuan did not come out, as he did not take the assassin seriously.
However, Wu Tai was his bodyguard, and even though he heard the obvious sounds of fighting outside, he did not make any movement at all.
Just when An Qingqian was puzzled, she suddenly discovered that one of the guards who were seriously injured actually climbed up from the corner while no one was paying attention and hid aside.
This scene made An Qingqian stunned. She was a little confused. What was wrong with that person? Was he lucky?
Or was it that the man in green robe was just pretending and didn't actually hurt these people?
An Qingqian narrowed her eyes and observed the situation over there carefully with her suspicion.
Finally, she discovered that although the man in green robe attacked ruthlessly, he avoided important parts of the body and only slightly injured the people on the opposite side. Some of them even fell to the ground without any injury.
They are just acting!!!
An Qingqian was a little confused. Who were they performing for so late at night?
Is it possible that there are other people here besides me?
An Qingqian didn't move, thinking and observing the situation over there.
A quarter of an hour passed, and the man in green robe finally "failed to defeat" the guard in front of him.
