Chapter 109 Assassination
The prince didn't want to see me, which meant he must be angry with me.

On the other hand, Liu Zhandong was thinking about whether he could ask Liu Liantang to plead for him.

After all, Liu Zhandong thought that he had no idea that his aunt Zhao had stolen the child, and he was kept in the dark.

While Liu Zhandong was thinking about this, he heard the voice of his son Liu Lianxing behind him.

"Dad, am I seeing things? That's Liu Liantang? He's the prince's son? How is that possible! Dad, hurry up and pull him down. This deception—"

When Liu Zhandong heard this, he was so scared that he turned around and covered Liu Lianxing's mouth.

If word gets out, forget about asking for mercy.

Seeing Liu Zhandong's warning and extremely frightened expression, Liu Lianxing was so scared that he quickly shut his mouth.

"Don't say such things again!" Liu Zhandong glared at Liu Lianxing.

"Got it, Dad."

When Liu Zhandong first learned that Liu Liantang was the prince's son, no one in the Liu Mansion said anything, so Liu Lianxing said that.

"He is the prince's son. This is true."

Liu Lianxing could only continue nodding.

Of course, it wasn't just the people in the Liu Mansion who were shocked, but also some young masters from aristocratic families.

Some people had seen Liu Liantang before, but they didn't have a deep impression of him, and could only think carefully about where they had seen him. Some people could tell at a glance that Liu Liantang was the illegitimate son of the Liu family, and they were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths.

The emperor then said, "It is a good thing that the Prince of Dingzhou has found his nephew. Since you have recognized your brother, you can change back to your original name, Xiao Huai."

"The common people accept the order."

"Why, you don't recognize me as your uncle?"

Liu Liantang immediately changed his address, "Thank you, Uncle Emperor."

The emperor continued, "You are my only son, so let's pick a date to confer the title of Prince of Dingzhou!"

"Thank you, uncle!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. The son of the King of Dingzhou was just found and he was going to be canonized as the Crown Prince. It seemed that the Emperor loved this nephew very much!

The singing and dancing continued, and everyone began to immerse themselves in the wonderful singing and dancing.

The dance music changed one after another and the ministers drank one cup after another.

The queen was a little tired, so she went back to rest.

Watching the queen leave, Gu Jiangmeng suddenly remembered something.

[The queen has passed away. Although the reason for her passing is different from the last time, the time should be correct. Last time she was drunk, this time she is pregnant and needs to rest.]

[No matter what, the queen is gone. There will be bad guys in the next new dance after the queen leaves! ]

The Gu family members were just immersed in the joy of Liu Liantang being canonized as the Prince of Dingzhou. Now, when they heard Gu Jiangmeng's voice, they were naturally shocked.

Bad guy, what bad guy is Jiang Meng talking about?
Sure enough, not long after the queen left, a new dancer came.

[I remember that one of the musicians was a bad guy. He sneaked in. His purpose was to assassinate the emperor!]

The rest of the Gu family: What? Assassinating the emperor? That's unacceptable!
[It seemed that he took action at the moment when the string broke, and rushed straight towards the emperor. If this happened somewhere else, this man would not be able to hurt the emperor.]

[But this was at a banquet, no one expected this to happen, so naturally there was no defense.]

[However, the guards quickly rushed in and subdued the man, but the emperor was still slightly injured. Moreover, I remember that this injury had sequelae. The emperor is also a good emperor, and he can't be allowed to get hurt for no reason. ]

After hearing these words, everyone knew the intention of the person who wanted to kill the emperor and began to have an idea.

[Daddy has a weapon in his hand. I have to find a way to get him to the emperor so that he can protect him.] Although this matter is difficult for Gu Jiangmeng, after all, Gu Jiangmeng can't speak. But since Gu Xun heard it, he would not let it go.

"I'll go and pay my respects to the prince. After all, the prince has recognized the crown prince, and I haven't congratulated him yet."

Seeing Gu Xun walking over, Gu Jiangmeng was naturally extremely excited.

[That's great. Daddy is now at the prince's place. Although it's a long way from the emperor, it's much better than where he is now. I hope that with Daddy's reaction ability, he can protect the emperor! ]

Gu Xun walked towards the prince slowly, because he hoped that he could be closer to the musician when he made his move.

The timing was very good. When Gu Xun was very close to the musician, he heard the sound of the strings breaking.

[Yes! It’s during this time period! Father, you can definitely protect the Emperor! ]

The strings broke and the dance stopped. Everyone was stunned. Before they could react, the musician stood up quickly and rushed towards the emperor.

Gu Xun quickly drew his sword and rushed towards the musician. Although no one reacted to the musician's action, everyone was shocked when they saw Gu Xun drawing his sword. This was an assassination!

"Someone come! Protect the emperor!"

"Here comes someone, escort me!"

Just when the musician was one foot away from the emperor, he stretched out the knife in his hand and stabbed the emperor directly.

Naturally, this knife would not stab the emperor as the musician wished.

One is Gu Xun, and the other is Xiao Chang.

In this way, the musician was captured alive.

[Daddy is awesome! And the King of Dingzhou is also awesome! ]

At this time, the guards also rushed over and surrounded the emperor.

Everyone was stunned for a long time before they realized that this was an assassination, and the target was the Emperor!

The emperor is the emperor after all. Even after this incident, he was able to recover quickly and his expression remained unchanged.

"How dare you to assassinate the emperor! Who are you? Why do you want to assassinate the emperor?" Gu Xun said to the musician.

However, the musician who heard this laughed out loud.

[Dad, don't just remember to interrogate him. His mouth is poisonous. Be prepared to die. Don't let him die!]

Hearing this, Gu Xun quickly opened the musician's mouth while he was not paying attention, and asked the guards to find the poison out of the musician's mouth.

"Gu Qing, what are you doing?" The emperor was puzzled.

"Your Majesty, when I said those few words just now, the musician actually laughed, and I felt something was wrong. As expected, this musician actually had poison in his mouth."

"As expected, Gu Qing is a very observant person."

[Daddy is really awesome. It seems I don't need to worry about this at all. ]

"Come here, put this man in jail! I want to see why he dares to act like this!"

After this incident, everyone was still terrified. Fortunately, there was only one killer. If there were more, wouldn't their lives be in danger?

"Your Majesty, this musician probably has accomplices, and it's not safe here. It's better for Your Majesty to go back first, and let me and General Gu handle this."

"Alright."

As soon as the emperor left, Gu Xun said, "There was an assassin today who almost harmed the emperor. The banquet will continue, but you cannot leave first. You can leave after I have checked everything."

[Dad, this accomplice is among these ministers, and this minister’s position was bought! ]
