The Emperor of Tang's Palace.
The Crown Prince was assassinated.
The originally harmless Nanming diplomatic mission suddenly erupted, and a chilling killing intent filled every inch of the air.
Almost in an instant.
The Vice Commander of the Forbidden Army guarding the Black Tortoise Gate suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the Crown Prince's location.
The Vice Commander is a Grade 1 Great Grandmaster and is responsible for guarding the Imperial City. He is extremely sensitive to auras, let alone this kind of killing intent.
"Not good."
"There is a problem with the Crown Prince."
The Vice Commander of the Forbidden Army's expression was extremely ugly.
Although the Crown Prince was some distance away from the Black Tortoise Gate at this moment, if something really happened to the Crown Prince, His Majesty will hold him accountable.
The life and death of the Crown Prince is related to the foundation of the Empire of Tang. At that time, even if he is a Grade 1 Great Grandmaster, he will inevitably be punished.
"Send some people and come with me!"
The Vice Commander of the Forbidden Army took a step forward, his whole person turned into a phantom, and rushed towards the place where the killing intent emerged.
The Vice Commander of the Forbidden Army's reaction speed was already very fast. When he noticed the killing intent, it took him a moment.
When he moved, it took him another moment.
Then, from the Black Tortoise Gate to the Crown Prince's location, it took him three seconds.
From the beginning of the assassination to the arrival of the Vice Commander of the Forbidden Army, only five seconds passed.
What can you do in five seconds?
For ordinary people, blinking a few times is equivalent to a dozen seconds.
However.
For the Vice Commander of the Forbidden Army, these five seconds felt like years, and he was burning with anxiety.
The Vice Commander of the Forbidden Army was very clear that to be able to assassinate the Crown Prince in the Emperor of Tang's Palace, there must be a very careful plan. If there is no certain certainty, these assassins hidden in the Imperial Palace will not take action.
Since they took action, it means that these assassins feel that the assassination will succeed.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince."
"I hope you can hold on until I get there."
The Vice Commander of the Forbidden Army's thoughts turned quickly, and the Internal Strength in his body almost boiled.
The next moment.
The Vice Commander of the Forbidden Army rushed over and was about to take action to suppress the assassins.
He saw a scene that he would never forget.
The assassins, who had been brimming with killing intent, shuddered. Then, their bodies began to burn. Before they could even scream, they were reduced to ashes.
"This is?!"
The Deputy Commander of the Forbidden Army trembled in shock.
Before he had rushed over, he had thought of countless possibilities. He had even considered the possibility that the Crown Prince had died at the hands of the assassins.
But the only thing he didn't expect was the scene in front of him.
It would be understandable if these assassins were smashed into meat paste or chopped in half. However, for them to spontaneously combust and turn into ashes was beyond the imagination of the Forbidden Army's Vice Commander.
Crown Prince Li Sheng and his confidants were also stunned.
A moment ago, they were facing a life and death crisis, and could have died at the hands of these assassins at any time. But now, such an unbelievable scene was happening.
At this moment.
Large numbers of the Forbidden Army began to arrive.
The Deputy Commander of the Forbidden Army suppressed the shock in his heart and shouted, "Protect His Highness the Crown Prince."
No matter what happened, the safety of the Crown Prince had to be the top priority.
"Third Brother, are you okay?"
Su Yueyun barely recovered from her shock. She tugged at Su Qin's arm and asked in a low voice.
"I'm fine."
Su Qin shook his head and glanced at the ashes left behind by the assassins.
Long before the Nanming diplomatic mission entered the palace, he had already discovered that these Nanming diplomatic mission had other plans.
However, at that time, Su Qin felt that as long as these assassins didn't affect the Eastern Palace, or him and his little sister, the Crown Prince, he couldn't be bothered to intervene.
In the entire palace of The Emperor of Tang, Su Qin only knew a few people, including Su Yueyun and Li Sheng.
As for the others, Su Qin didn't care about the lives of the princes and eunuchs.
But what Su Qin didn't expect was that the target of these assassins was actually Crown Prince Li Sheng.
"Ming Emperor …"
Su Qin's expression didn't change. Deep in his eyes, he was deep in thought.
"Third Brother, it's okay. It's all over now …"
Su Yueyun thought that Su Qin was scared out of his wits and hurriedly comforted him.
"Nanming diplomatic mission?"
"Damn it!!!"
At this time, the Deputy Commander of the Forbidden Army had a rough idea of what had happened. He knew that these assassins who suddenly attacked were from the Nanming diplomatic mission.
"Your Highness, I will personally escort you back to the Eastern Palace."
The Deputy Commander of the Forbidden Army bowed to Crown Prince Li Sheng.
"Okay."
Crown Prince Li Sheng was also feeling uneasy. He was not in the mood to leave the palace. He immediately returned to the Eastern Palace with Su Yueyun, Su Qin, and the others.
The Eastern Palace was where the Crown Prince lived. It was usually patrolled by large numbers of the Forbidden Army. It was impossible for assassins to use the identity of a diplomatic mission to assassinate him.
It could even be said that no diplomatic mission from any country could even enter the Eastern Palace, let alone assassinate him.
A moment later.
In the Immortal Palace.
The Emperor of Tang listened to the report of the Deputy Commander of the Forbidden Army. His expression was impassive.
The Immortal Palace was the bedroom of The Emperor of Tang for generations. It meant longevity and longevity.
"I understand."
"You may leave."
The Emperor of Tang waved his hand and said softly.
"As you wish."
The Deputy Commander of the Forbidden Army breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the Crown Prince was not dead and the assassins were all killed, the matter seemed to have been resolved satisfactorily.
But such a big mistake had occurred in the Imperial Palace, openly allowing assassins from other countries to assassinate the Crown Prince. As the Deputy Commander of the Forbidden Army guarding the Xuanwu Gate, he had to bear some responsibility.
And now, The Emperor of Tang had asked him to leave. Obviously, he was too lazy to pursue the matter.
After the Deputy Commander of the Forbidden Army left.
The Emperor of Tang's face gradually darkened.
"Ming Emperor, how dare you. Do you really think I don't dare to fall out with you?"
A trace of anger appeared on The Emperor of Tang's face.
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry …"
Eunuch Zhao, dressed in purple, walked out and bowed. "The assassination of the Crown Prince is a matter of great importance. At this moment in Chang 'an City, there must be someone important enough in Nanming to command the overall situation."
"Now that the assassination has failed, the news has not been leaked yet. Why don't we take the opportunity to capture that person …"
Eunuch Zhao said slowly.
"That's right."
The Emperor of Tang was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.
If they could capture a big shot in Nanming, it might have a great impact on the war between The Empire of Tang and Nanming.
"Leave this matter to me. As long as the person is still in Chang 'an City, he will not be able to escape."
Eunuch Zhao paused, then continued: "Isn't Your Majesty curious about who saved His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
According to the Deputy Commander of the Forbidden Army, when he arrived, the assassins were burned to ashes.
Obviously.
Before he arrived, someone had already made a move.
The person who made the move was able to quietly burn all the assassins to ashes. His strength is probably beyond that of an ordinary Grade 1 Great Grandmaster. Even if he is not as good as Eunuch Zhao, he is not far behind.
"Curious?"
The Emperor of Tang heard this, shook his head, and said lightly: "Everyone has secrets. My son has grown up. It is normal for him to have his own secrets."
"Why should I be curious?"
