Chapter 128 Rong Che's Death 2
The two guards trotted back to the door of Rong Che's room. They stopped and knocked gently, whispering, "Master..."
However, no one in the room responded.
The guards looked at each other, feeling a little uneasy.
They knocked on the door again, their voices slightly raised: "Master, are you in there?"
Still no one responded.
The guard frowned, reached out and gently pushed the door open, and walked in. The room was filled with a faint smell of incense.
The two of them felt a little confused for a moment and shook their heads vigorously to make themselves clear-headed. One of them quickly opened the window, and the other quickly ran to the bed to check on Rong Che's condition.
I couldn't see Rong Che's condition clearly in the moonlight, but I smelled a bloody smell, and my heart instantly rose to my throat.
"Master, how are you?"
Rong Che still didn't react. The guard stretched out his trembling hand to feel his breath, and his heart instantly sank.
He said in panic: "Call the doctor... Call the doctor quickly..."
Another guard quickly ran out to call a doctor.
When the governor heard the servants report that the second prince was in trouble, he was so frightened that he stumbled over with sweat on his forehead.
As she ran, she wondered if anything happened to the Second Prince in her mansion. Would her family have a chance of survival? His Majesty would be the first one to not let her go, and neither would her eldest sister.
Jing Yu stayed by the bed, looking worriedly at Rong Che lying on the bed. He looked at the door anxiously and shouted, "Where's the doctor? Why hasn't he come yet?"
"Ziqi, go call the doctor."
"You are to blame for what happened to the master."
"I deserve to die. I failed to protect my master. I am willing to accept any punishment."
At this time, Governor Yu came running over and anxiously asked, "Jingyu, how is the Second Prince?"
"Wait until the doctor comes."
"Where's the assassin? I didn't hear any fighting."
The guard knelt on the ground, trembling with fear, as if walking on thin ice. "We didn't see the assassin. It was just a short moment. When we realized something was wrong and went back to the room to check, our master was in trouble."
"With the master's skills, most people are no match for him. Why are there no signs of fighting in the room? Could it be that the opponent used some tricks?"
"The room smelled of drugs when we came in."
"Master, you are so alert that you will notice any movement. The drug will have no effect on you."
"Jingyu, don't discuss this for now. Catching the murderer is the most important thing. Otherwise, how can we explain this to His Majesty?"
"Sir Governor, you must immediately order a city-wide search for the murderer. We must apprehend him and avenge our master."
"it is good."
Governor Yu quickly gave instructions to the housekeeper, who quickly left the room.
Jing Yu looked at the kneeling guard fiercely and said with gritted teeth: "If anything happens to the master, we will all be buried with him."
At this time, the guards hurried over with the doctor. Jing Yu quickly made way. The doctor quickly took Rong Che's pulse. The atmosphere in the whole room was extremely tense.
The doctor frowned and his expression became increasingly serious.
After a moment, he shook his head at Jingyu and Yu Zhishi, "It's too late. The young master has no pulse."
"Doctor, please take a closer look at my master. Nothing must happen to him."
"My condolences, there's nothing I can do."
Yu Shishi's forehead was covered with sweat, and his eyes were filled with fear and despair. The death of the Second Prince would bring disaster to the entire family.
Thinking of this, his body began to tremble. He should not have been greedy and let him stay in the mansion to develop feelings with Qingying. Now that something big has happened, it is too late to regret.
The doctor examined the second prince again and the result was the same.
He shook his head helplessly and said to the governor, "Sir, I have done my best. This young man has indeed lost his pulse."
Governor Yu's legs went limp as he collapsed beside the Second Prince's bed, tears streaming down his face as he said, "Che'er, you're so heartbroken for your uncle. How can I explain to your father and mother if something happens to you? You were fine last night, how could this happen to you?"
Jing Yu, standing by, gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. With a cold expression, he turned to the guards and sternly shouted, "Everyone, go out and catch the murderer. Don't come back until you catch him."
"Yes."
Soon the entire city was blocked off and a carpet search was conducted for the murderer of the second prince Rong Che.
At this moment, Shangguan Yunting, Shen Rou and others had already galloped out of Julu and headed towards the Jizhou trail.
The guards were curious about how their master and Princess Furong killed the Second Prince of Beiyan, but no one dared to ask.
The guards sent by Jingyu searched everywhere but found nothing. They never imagined that the murderer had already escaped from Julu City.
Jing Yu quickly said to Governor Yu, "Sir Governor, please report to His Majesty and tell him what happened to our master."
"I have already written a memorial and will send it over immediately."
"Jingyu! You've seen that I'm dedicated to taking care of the Second Prince, but this killer is so strange that it's hard to guard against him."
"Sir Yu, I understand, but His Majesty will surely be furious if he learns that our master is in trouble, and I cannot escape blame."
Meanwhile, the Northern Yan Imperial Palace was in a state of panic. Upon learning that his beloved second son had been in trouble, His Majesty, already in poor health, collapsed to the ground.
The palace maids and eunuchs were panicked, and someone ran to call the imperial physician.
Upon hearing the news, the concubines and princes from various palaces rushed over, their eyes full of worry, but their hearts were filled with joy.
The imperial physician rushed over, and after an intense diagnosis and treatment, His Majesty finally regained consciousness, but he was weak.
With tired and worried eyes, she looked at the princes and concubines and said weakly, "Where's Che'er?"
No one dared to say anything.
Rong Che was the prince that his father valued most. His death meant that he had one less competitor.
The eldest prince, Rong Jin, immediately knelt beside the bed, tears in his eyes, and choked out his words, "Father, my second brother... was assassinated."
The emperor was struck by lightning after hearing this. His face turned pale instantly and his lips trembled but he could not speak.
Concubine Yue lay on the edge of the dragon couch, crying heartbreakingly, "Che'er! You died so tragically! Your Majesty, you must seek justice for Che'er!"
His Majesty took a deep breath, suppressed the grief in his heart, and roared: "Send someone to take Yu Wei and his family to prison and await their fate."
"Yes."
"This matter must be thoroughly investigated! I want to know who is so bold as to touch my son!"
"Who among you is willing to volunteer to investigate the assassination of the Second Prince?"
The hall was completely silent, and no one dared to respond.
At this time, the Third Prince Rong Zhang stepped forward and said, "Your son is willing to investigate the truth and give Second Brother justice."
His Majesty nodded slightly, "Okay, Third Brother, I'll leave this matter to you. Make sure you find the real culprit and give Second Brother an explanation."
"My son, I obey."
Rong Zhang took the order and went down, secretly happy.
He knew very well that this was a rare opportunity. Now that the second brother was dead, the only one who could stop him in the court was the eldest prince. If he was the real murderer in this matter, no one in the court would be able to stop him from moving forward.
The eldest prince was filled with regret, realizing that he had missed an opportunity.
At the same time, he was also worried that his third brother Rong Zhang would take this opportunity to make meritorious deeds and threaten his position. He would also try every means to drag him into the water.
After Rong Zhang left, he immediately summoned his confidants and began to plan how to investigate the matter of the second prince.
At the same time, the struggles in the former dynasty and the harem became more and more intense. Although the Northern Yan royal family seemed calm on the surface, there were actually undercurrents. No one cared about the cause of the second prince's death, and everyone was planning for their own future.
Only Concubine Yue was heartbroken after losing her son and cried all day long.
The other princes watched and waited for the opportunity.
Everyone has their own ulterior motives, and the situation becomes increasingly confusing...
