”Everything is fine, how did he end up being assassinated?”

”What's so special about that?” ”Too many people want to kill me. They can't kill me.”

She would be embarrassed if she hadn't been assassinated hundreds of times. But it would be naive to hope that she could be killed with such a despicable method.

”Is that man dead? ”Do you have any accomplices or anything?”

”I've already sent people to check it out. The details are still unclear.”

Zhou Leqi said, ”It's better to investigate this as soon as possible, this is at the bottom of the imperial city, if it really gets in front of the emperor, it wouldn't be good.”

Zhou Leping was clear about this in his heart, but these two people seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

Furthermore, Zhao Deng was the empress dowager's precious son, she knew that an assassin had appeared in the Duke Palaces, and had even caused an explosion. With such a huge matter hidden, it would definitely be impossible to hide it from everyone.

When Zhao Shiqian asked about it in the assembly, Zhao Deng took over and blamed it all on himself, ”It was my younger brother that did not know about this, but who would have known that the dancing lady and the zither master were actually disguised as assassins. Luckily, the Chief General was there to save me, otherwise, my younger brother would not be here today, but was carried up here.”

Lin Jing calmly held his hands together, and waited for Zhao Deng to finish speaking before saying, ”The assassin was heading towards the Chief General, so naturally he received the news beforehand. That's why he disguised himself as a dancer and hid himself with a zither master inside the music shop.

Zhou Leping took a step forward, lifted her robe and kneeled down. ”It is all this subject's fault, if it wasn't for this subject, this Prince Rui wouldn't have been implicated, please punish me, your majesty.”

Zhao Deng stood at the side anxiously, ”What does that have to do with you? You didn't know that there would be an assassin ahead of time, so I brought him back. If you have to blame something, you can only blame me for your bad luck.”

Just as he was about to speak up, Lin Jing snatched the hand away, ”Those people must have had their plans a long time ago. Since we managed to hide it from Your Highness, then what does it have to do with Your Highness?”

”Enough.” Zhao Shiqian finally opened his mouth, and told everyone to stop this argument, ”It's good that he's fine, now is not the time to argue about the responsibility, can you identify the two assassins? Are there any other accomplices? ”

Zhou Leping shook his head: ”It's the Xianyuer, this subject has already sent people to investigate and still has not found anything, as for whether there are any accomplices, this subject cannot guarantee.”

Lin Jing sighed, and said with a worried tone, ”Your Majesty, in my opinion, since Wu Yu's assassins were able to infiltrate the Duke's Palace, maybe some of them have already snuck into the palace. This is no small matter, I should give them an order to investigate.”

Zhao Shiqian's expression suddenly relaxed, ”Our palace is a place those pawns said they can barge in? Besides, even if we barge in, we still have imperial guards, so there's no need to worry too much. ”

Zhao Shiqian's expression slightly changed. He had taken all the responsibility from Zhou Leping and kicked him right in the face.

The imperial guard was his son. If someone really snuck into the Imperial Palace, any matter that happened to Zhao Shiqian, would be the responsibility of his Lin Family.

He really had a good plan.

After the assembly was over, Zhao Deng was called over by the empress dowager, and Zhou Leping was left behind.

Zhao Shiqian's gaze fell on her hands, ”Injured? Have you looked for a doctor? ”

”A little bruise, this subject is fine.”

”I've even heard that Zhu Guanliang had a scholarly air about him. I never thought that he would actually have this kind of courage.”

Zhou Leping never thought that even without him, she wouldn't be injured. She just didn't think that he would risk his life to save her.

”Did you encounter much?” Zhao Shiqian looked at her, thinking to himself that if he could take off the mask on her face, it would destroy the few remaining beautiful memories in his heart.
