Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 490 Night

The deep night shrouded the earth.

Under the bright yellow palace lanterns, the imperial city looks even more majestic.

Li Muyi came to the Royal Garden and listened to the laughter and laughter coming from the garden. There was no excessive emotion on his face.

"Your Majesty, the eldest prince is here."

Li Chengkun was a little surprised when he heard the servant's report. He hesitated for a while and then said: "Let him come in."

"Your Highness, His Majesty let you in."

After receiving permission, Li Muyi walked into the imperial garden and saw several beautiful concubines and his father drinking and having fun.

He saluted respectfully: "My sons and ministers see my father."

Li Chengkun raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Muyi who was kneeling and saluting, this poisonous snake that he had always been wary of.

But now, Li Chengkun has looked away, and he no longer knows how many years it will take.

Although the second child, Li Musen, is a direct descendant, his ability and character are somewhat inferior.

But now the eldest son, who usually tarnishes his reputation, secretly has deep ambitions and is determined.

Then let the two of them fight among themselves.

If this is the case, Li Muyi can defeat the second prince, which proves that he is the most suitable person to sit on the dragon chair.

After thinking about it thousands of times, Li Chengkun smiled: "Your Majesty, please get up."

"Thank you, Father." Li Muyi stood up.

Li Chengkun: "Come here tonight, do you have something to do?"

Li Muyi shook his head: "I heard that my father is in the imperial garden, so I came here to pay my respects."

"You have a heart."

Upon seeing this, Li Chengkun waved his hand and said, "Sit down."

"If I can't see my father, I will return to the palace later."

Li Muyi refused: "Now that the winter cold is about to pass and the nights are cold, my father should pay more attention to his health and drink less alcohol."

Li Chengkun couldn't help but reveal some gentleness in his eyes after hearing this, and hugged the beautiful concubine beside him: "See, you are still my prince who cares about me, unlike you who still need me to accompany you at night."

"No way, I miss Your Majesty..." The soft voices of the concubines reached my ears.

He looked at Li Muyi with a rather contemptuous look.

If there is a capable person, they will still want to take care of him closely on weekdays.

It's a pity that Li Muyi is a waste and not worth their bets.

After taking a deep look at the smiling Li Chengkun, Li Muyi excused himself and said, "Then, my father, I and my son, please take your leave. Father, please rest early."

"Well, I see..."

Seeing Li Muyi retreat, Li Chengkun shouted out of nowhere: "Yi'er."

Li Muyi paused, turned around, clasped his fists and lowered his head: "Father, what are your instructions?"

Li Chengkun frowned slightly and looked at his son's respectful posture. He paused for a moment before waving his hand and saying, "It's okay. You can go down first."

"My son retire."

Turning around, Li Muyi walked out of the imperial garden. Listening to the laughter, he clenched his fists hidden under his sleeves and strode away without looking back.

Just at the moment when the moon is on the branch.

A scream broke through the already peaceful imperial city!
"There are assassins! There are assassins!"

In an instant, the palace was in chaos. Countless masters from the palace rushed out to capture the assassin. Countless imperial troops lit torches and lit up the entire palace!
A eunuch broke into the palace: "Your Highness! Your Highness is not well!"

Li Muyi raised his head and said calmly: "What's wrong?"

"An assassin broke into the palace to assassinate Your Majesty!"

Li Muyi clenched his fist: "Quick! Follow me to protect your majesty!"

He hurriedly came to Li Chengkun's palace and saw that there was a mess inside, and the female eunuch in the concubine's palace was kneeling on the floor.

Li Muyi suppressed the throbbing in his heart and exclaimed: "Father! Father, are you okay?"

When an old eunuch saw him coming, he hurriedly shouted: "Your Highness, please come and take a look. Your Majesty is dying!" Li Muyi immediately rushed over and saw a horrifying scene.

On the dragon bed, Li Chengkun, who had been drinking and having fun in the Imperial Garden, was covered in blood. His body was twitching and blood was pouring out of his mouth from time to time. He stared at him with eyes wide open.

"Father!"

Kneeling down with a plop, Li Muyi immediately crawled over with tears streaming down his face, holding on tightly: "Father, what's wrong with you?"

Li Chengkun opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word, and he kept vomiting blood from his mouth.

Li Muyi said in a panic: "Father! Father, what do you want to say? My son, listen."

As he said that, he quickly leaned over.

His chest was rising and falling, and Li Chengkun just held Li Muyi's hand, his nails sinking deeply into his flesh, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

Li Muyi said quickly: "My son, listen! Father, nothing can happen to you!"

suddenly.

Internal injuries broke out, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from Li Chengkun's mouth. Li Muyi was instantly splashed all over.

His body was covered in blood, his face was also stained red with blood, and he looked like an evil ghost.

Li Muyi screamed sadly, and as soon as Li Chengkun loosened his grip, the Emperor of Zhou became completely silent.

"Father!"

Li Muyi roared, and the palace maids and eunuchs kneeling outside were shocked and cried out in grief.

"His Majesty!"

Just at this moment, an old man broke in and was shocked when he heard the cry of grief: "What's wrong, Your Majesty!"

The old eunuch kneeling behind Li Muyi had tears and horror on his face: "Your Majesty has passed away!"

The old man rushed to the dragon bed in disbelief and looked at Li Chengkun who was staring at death. He almost fainted when his body swayed.

As a master of Dauchi, he actually had the Emperor of Zhou assassinated under his nose.

How can he bear this crime?
Li Muyi, who was sprayed with his father's blood, cried and shouted: "Who killed my father!"

The old man said with difficulty: "The assassin escaped and we didn't catch him, Your Highness! Did Your Majesty say anything before he died?"

Li Muyi wiped his tears and said hurriedly: "Go and call your fifth brother Mu Yuan!"

The fifth prince, Li Muyuan, is now 17 years old. He is well-known and intelligent. He is also a prince who is deeply loved by Li Chengkun.

The old man was stunned, why did he want to find Li Muyuan?
Hard to do!
He was startled when he thought of something and hurriedly left the hall.

Inside the hall.

Li Chengkun died with his eyes closed.

Next to him, Li Muyi was covered in blood and looked like a ghost. He was kneeling in front of the dragon bed, as if repenting, with tears constantly pouring out.

Council Hall.

The assassin of Emperor Li Chengkun who had just been killed by a single blow would probably be unimaginable to the powerful masters of the Great Zhou Imperial City.

At this moment, he did not leave the imperial city at all, but came to the place where all the officials of the Zhou Kingdom usually met.

Xiao Feiyu smiled after looking at the golden plaque with the words "upright and bright" written on it.

……

Outside the Imperial City.

In the house of the official minister.

The door was kicked open, instantly alarming everyone in the house. The woman screamed and quickly pulled up the quilt to cover her delicate body.

The second prince, Li Musen, was a little dazed. He had drank a lot tonight. When he looked up and saw the panicked Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, he immediately said angrily: "Master Liu, what are you doing!"

"Oh, Your Highness! Why are you still here! Something big has happened!"

Li Musen was stunned: "What happened?"

Mr. Liu: "Your Majesty was assassinated! He died suddenly!"
