Chapter 487 Disguised house arrest

Zhao Ying was assassinated, and naturally this matter could not be concealed.

In the past few days, the news has spread in Beijing.

Although Emperor Zhao lived deep in the palace, he also received news. When he learned the news, he was furious.

Zhao Ying was his most valued daughter. When she was assassinated, Emperor Zhao couldn't just sit idly by.

The first person he suspected was Zhao Jing.

In the whole world, if the person who has the deepest conflict with Ying'er is none other than Jing'er.

It is even said that the conflict between the two was caused by him.

He had predicted the current situation many years ago. On the one hand, he made Zhao Jing the crown prince, and on the other hand, he continued to hand over the power of Zhao Ying to Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying held Qin Tiansi in her hands, and relying on the power he gave her, she successfully established a foothold in the court and the world.

Her power and prestige even surpassed Zhao Jing's.

This is naturally something Zhao Jing does not want to see, and he will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it.

Over the years, the two have been fighting openly and secretly, and Emperor Zhao has seen all this.

All this is what he wants to see.

He had long seen that Jing'er's ambitions were not small. If no one checked him, the partisanship in the court would become even more serious in a short time.

Therefore, Zhao Ying is the best candidate for Emperor Zhao.

She is not only smart and witty, but also extremely talented in martial arts. She is very suitable for Emperor Zhao's choice.

Of course, more importantly, she is a girl.

Therefore, no matter how powerful her power was, she still could not affect Emperor Zhao's ultimate goal and layout.

However, all this has a prerequisite.

He can let Zhao Ying and Zhao Jing fight among themselves, but he must not kill anyone. Nothing can happen to either Zhao Ying or Zhao Jing.

This time, it really exceeded Emperor Zhao's expectations.

He didn't expect that Zhao Jing would dare to kill Zhao Ying.

At this moment, Emperor Zhao's cold eyes were staring at His Highness Zhao Jing, silent.

Zhao Jing fell to his knees on the ground, crying bitterly, swearing, and explaining with a strong voice.

Emperor Zhao's cold eyes kept scanning him, but he still said nothing.

In the whole world, apart from Zhao Jing, there is probably no other person who dares to assassinate the eldest princess of Zhao in such a big way.

Royal massacre, this is what he cannot tolerate the most.

However, looking at Zhao Jing's wronged expression at this moment, Emperor Zhao felt a little shaken in his heart.

I have to say, Zhao Jing’s acting skills are really great!

Over the years, he has kept a low profile.

Zhao Ying took control of Qintiansi, and his reputation spread throughout the world, completely overshadowing his highness, the crown prince.

But Zhao Jing didn't seem to complain at all. Over the years, he had almost never expressed any opinions, either publicly or privately.

In Emperor Zhao's eyes, his son was much more honest than imagined. Although there are still some small actions in private, they are harmless.

Moreover, Zhao Jing has a kind and approachable personality. Over the years, every move in the Prince's Mansion has been under the eyes of Emperor Zhao.

In Emperor Zhao's eyes, Zhao Jing really didn't seem like someone who would commit such a thing as killing his sister.

Therefore, with Zhao Jing's superb acting skills at this moment, Emperor Zhao in front of him did hesitate.

"Seriously you didn't do it?"

Emperor Zhao's eyes were still staring at Zhao Jing. Although he was still doubtful, he was obviously not so determined.

"If this is what I did, I would be willing to be struck by thunder from the sky, and I would not die a happy death!"

In order to clear away the suspicion, Zhao Jing even swore an oath.

At this moment, his face looked like a victim who had been wronged and unable to cry out.

At the same time, his eyes were firm and he gritted his teeth: "I don't know who dares to hurt Sister Huang, but Sister Huang has the same blood as me after all. I will definitely find a way to rescue Sister Huang, find out the person behind it, and return the favor. Sister Huang, please give yourself justice!"

"Father, please grant me your permission!"

"..."

In terms of acting skills, if Li Beifeng were present, he would have to sigh.

Zhao Jing's acting skills put even him to shame.

After all, he underestimated Zhao Jing!

As the Prince of Jokhang, he has been suppressed by a princess for many years. He has been able to endure it for so many years. It is obvious that his inner firmness is extraordinary.

His acting skills have also reached the level of perfection.

Even Emperor Zhao in front of him was deceived by him at this moment, and his heart was shaken.

Seriously it wasn't him?

Emperor Zhao stared at Zhao Jing with a bit of suspicion on his face.

Naturally, he didn't want Zhao Jing to do all this. Ying'er controlled Qin Tiansi and suppressed the officials in the court internally, so that those officials who were ready to take action did not dare to act rashly. Externally, Qin Tiansi once again suppressed the Jianghu that was about to gain momentum.

If something happens to her, the court may not be peaceful.

For Emperor Zhao, this is not good news.

Since he was injured many years ago, he has been left with hidden illnesses. Over the years, his body has become increasingly weak. Therefore, he was no longer sad about the affairs in the court, and he concentrated on practicing and recuperating for eternity.

At the same time, if Zhao Jing really did it, it means that his son may have evil thoughts.

At this moment, seeing his most respected son swear so firmly made him shaken a bit.

However, if he didn't do it, who did it?

Who can break into his mausoleum of the Great Zhao Emperor and assassinate Ying'er?

There are countless experts guarding the Jokhang Mausoleum. Who else but Zhao Jing can have such means?

The people he sent out haven't found many useful clues yet.

Zhao Jing lowered his head, his back was already wet, and he didn't even dare to breathe.

He knew that now was his most dangerous time. His life depends entirely on his father's thoughts.

He must pass this level. As long as he passes this level, there will be no obstacle in front of him.

Right now, he had to dispel his father's suspicions, even if only for a moment. Delaying for a little longer was hope for him.

Noticing that his father was hesitating and doubting at this moment, Zhao Jing knew that he had to take a harsh medicine!

"Father, I think I probably know who assassinated the imperial sister..."

Emperor Zhao's cold eyes fell on him: "Who?"

"I wonder if Father still remembers this person!"

Zhao Jing slowly raised his head and stared into Emperor Zhao's eyes.

It was a pair of eyes that could not be described in words, calm, cold, not intimidating but angry!

It was obviously very ordinary, but it gave Zhao Jing a sense of oppression that made him unable to breathe.

Even though Emperor Zhao had ignored government affairs for many years, even though he seemed to have lost his former grace long ago.

But he is still the emperor of Jozhao. He is not to say the best in Jozhao for hundreds of years, but he can definitely be regarded as the master of ZTE with sharp means.

Decades ago, since he came to the throne, he has used iron and blood to cleanse the entire court, purging the originally dark and corrupt court. Then he vigorously developed the domestic economy and suppressed the world's wealthy families.

After that, he commanded the Jokhang cavalry and subjugated the Northern Qi Dynasty...

With such achievements, not to mention one emperor through the ages, he can definitely be regarded as an outstanding king of a generation.

Zhao Jing's heart felt vaguely cold. He forced himself to calm down and named a person.

"Li Wushuang!"

The moment this name appeared, the expression on Emperor Zhao's face changed.

The originally cold face seemed to have a trace of unspeakable surprise and a look of deep-hidden horror.

To be able to make this current king of Dazhao look like this is enough to show how shocked this name is to him.

"Who are you talking about?!"

Emperor Zhao stared at Zhao Jing.

"Li Wushuang!"

Zhao Jing spoke again, "Just two days ago, I received information that the former great master of Northern Qi, Li Wushuang, appeared near the capital..."

Emperor Zhao's expression changed again, and his eyes were cloudy and uncertain.

Li Wushuang!

This was a name he hadn't heard for a long time.

Familiar yet strange!

Hearing this name, some long-lost memories seemed to slowly come to mind again.

That is a humiliating history!

For Emperor Zhao, and for the entire royal family of the Jokhang Palace, it was a memory of humiliation!

That year, he was so high-spirited that he commanded the Jokhang cavalry to enter the capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty, destroyed the Northern Qi Dynasty, and completely incorporated the Northern Qi Dynasty into the Jokhang territory.

The Jokhang Emperor was young and vigorous, at his most prosperous and proud time.

Li Wushuang, the great master of the Northern Qi Dynasty, broke into his Jokhang Palace unexpectedly.

With just one person and one sword, she stormed into the palace unstoppably.

He had almost all the top experts in the palace, but they still couldn't stop her.

She is like a god descending to earth, killing people and killing Buddhas.

His huge palace housed countless top masters in the world, but he still couldn't stop Li Wushuang.

That Li Wushuang rushed into the palace and almost killed him!

The hidden disease on his body was left behind by that injury. For Emperor Zhao, this was his most humiliating memory.

He is also the only person in this life who can make him move and panic.

Even after so many years, he still remembers what happened back then.

At this moment, when he heard the news that Li Wushuang had appeared again, Emperor Zhao's face darkened.

"Where is she?"

"I don't know!"

At this moment, Zhao Jing, who noticed his father's face, finally knew that his plan had worked.

He said: "However, I have discovered something... This Li Wushuang is an old minister of Northern Qi. She seems to have wanted to restore Northern Qi all these years!"

"She appeared near the capital this time, and she probably had a serious intention. The emperor's sister was assassinated, and I thought she might have something to do with her..."

It has to be said that Zhao Jing's move to divert trouble from the east was really clever.

When Emperor Zhao heard that Li Wushuang had appeared, his expression became serious.

He had to pay attention to this person.

In terms of strength, she was the only person who could enter the Jokhang Palace back then. Now that nearly twenty years have passed, where has her strength reached?

unknown!

More importantly, she is an old minister of Northern Qi.

The land of Beizhou is still a worry for Emperor Zhao after all these years.

This Li Wushuang was a former minister of the Northern Qi Dynasty and had extremely high prestige. If she really wants to restore the Northern Qi Dynasty secretly, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble for Dazhao.

Thinking of this, Emperor Zhao's face darkened.

"Somebody come!"

A figure appeared quietly in the hall.

When Zhao Jing noticed the appearance of this person, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

How did this person appear?

After just a glance, Zhao Jing lowered his head.

He knew that his father was protected by a master who came and went without a trace. No one knows his origins, and no one knows how deep his strength is.

After Li Wushuang defeated the Jokhang Palace, there were countless masters added to the palace over the years. My father's side was surrounded by countless experts who protected him.

Zhao Jing lowered his head.

"Go and investigate. I want to know what Li Wushuang has been doing these years. I want all the clues!"

"yes!"

This figure left quietly.

Emperor Zhao's eyes slowly fell on Zhao Jing, his eyes still cold.

"I will find out exactly how Ying'er was assassinated. I hope it's best not to be done by you!"

Facing Emperor Zhao's cold gaze, Zhao Jing's heart sank and he quickly said: "I don't dare!"

"You go down first!"

Emperor Zhao glanced at him and said coldly: "It's getting late today, so you should stay in the palace first and don't go back to the Prince's Mansion for the time being!"

Hearing this, Zhao Jing felt a chill in his heart.

He understood what his father meant, which was clearly a disguised form of house arrest.

Father is still doubting him!

This can't help but make Zhao Jing feel a little anxious!

Although he did it very neatly this time, something unexpected happened after all. My father's intelligence capabilities are very deep, if he finds out some flaws...

He is now racing against time. He must implement the plan before his father discovers the truth.

However, now his father wants to put him under house arrest and not give him a chance to leave the palace.

"What? Is there a problem?"

Emperor Zhao's faint voice came to his ears again.

Zhao Jing trembled all over: "I don't dare, I will obey my father's teachings!"

"..."

After coming out of the imperial study room, Zhao Jing found that his back was completely soaked and he was covered in cold sweat.

Outside the door, the dazzling sun shone in front of the main hall, and the weather was slightly hot.

But Zhao Jing's heart felt cold, even a little shuddering.

He knew that now had reached the most critical moment.

A slight mistake would be fatal.

"Your Highness, come with me!"

A eunuch appeared next to Zhao Jing: "Your Majesty asked me to take you to rest."

Zhao Jing slowly came back to his senses, glanced at him, and said calmly: "Lead the way!"

Beijing.

As night fell, Li Beifeng's figure appeared quietly outside the gate of the Prince's Mansion.

It was obviously not too late, but it was dark inside the Prince's Mansion. Moreover, Li Beifeng was keenly aware that the guards inside and outside the Prince's Mansion were obviously much tighter.

What happened?

Li Beifeng frowned slightly.

After learning the news about Xie Waner from He Jing, Li Beifeng rushed to the capital without stopping, trying to find a way to rescue her.

Seeing the Prince's Mansion being so tightly guarded, it might not be easy to sneak in.

It is not easy to find Xie Wan'er.

After lingering outside the door for a long time, Li Beifeng turned around to leave and find another way.

Not far away, a figure appeared in his sight.

A pretty woman in a simple and elegant skirt and long gown stood in a street alley not far away. He was leaning slightly against the edge of the wall, tilting his head slightly and turning away from him.

Her eyes are clear, her facial features are delicate and beautiful, and her whole body has a pure yet slightly mature beauty.

At this moment, this look was slightly meaningful, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

"Sure enough, I knew you would come here!"

"..."
