Chapter 329

Tang Yin glanced at Shao Fang and said, "Your Highness, it's better for you to lie on the bed!"

Shao Fang nodded, put down the cup, and walked towards the bed.

Tang Yin came to the window, opened it casually, then walked behind Shao Fang and called, "Your Highness!"

"What?" Shao Fang turned around and looked at him with a questioning look.

At this moment, Tang Yin waved his hand and drew out the sword he brought with him, pointed it at Shao Fang's heart, and suddenly stabbed it. Puff! The sword stabbed solidly, hitting Shao Fang's heart. Before the latter could react, Tang Yin had put the sword back into the sheath, and stood in front of Shao Fang with a smile as if nothing had happened.

Tang Yin's move was as fast as lightning, without any drag. When Shao Fang was stabbed with the sword, he didn't feel any pain at all. When Tang Yin took back the sword, he felt a piercing pain in his heart. Shao Fang couldn't help but scream in pain, fell on his back, and fell on the bed.

Hearing Shao Fang's cry, the guards outside broke into the room. When they came in, they saw Shao Fang lying on the bed, dying, his shirt stained red with blood, and Tang Yin standing expressionlessly beside the bed.

"Your Highness..." The guards knew the inside story, but they were still frightened by Shao Fang's appearance at this time. Their faces changed drastically, and they all rushed forward.

Shao Fang still had the last bit of consciousness at this time. Seeing the guards gathered around his bed, he was very anxious and said intermittently: "Don't worry about me, hurry up and catch the assassin..." After saying this, Shao Fang's eyes went dark, his head tilted, and he knew nothing.

Everyone woke up as if from a dream, and shouted: "Catch the assassin! Catch the assassin! His Highness has been assassinated--"

As the armored guards shouted, the Prince's Mansion immediately became chaotic. Many guards didn't know what was going on, and ran to Shao Fang's bedroom. When they saw Shao Fang's appearance clearly, they were all scared to death. The shouting and yelling became one, and the huge Prince's Mansion was like a boiling oil pan in the middle of the night.

As the second prince of the Mo Kingdom, Shao Fang's assassination was a serious matter. After the news spread, it immediately alarmed the whole city. The direct army of the Mo Kingdom court was dispatched at the first time to block Zhenjiang City. All streets and alleys were under martial law. Groups of soldiers rushed to the streets and searched for suspects from house to house.

After Mo Wang Shao Ting knew about this, he couldn't sleep in the palace. He took a large group of palace guards and imperial doctors to the Prince's Mansion to see how Shao Fang was doing.

In fact, Shao Ting didn't favor Shao Fang, his second son, on weekdays. He favored his third son, Shao Bo. But after all, father and son are connected by heart. Shao Fang was his biological son. When his life was in danger, Shao Ting was also extremely anxious. He didn't even have the mood to wait for news in the palace, and came in person.

When Shao Ting hurried to the Prince's Mansion, the doctors of the Prince's Mansion were giving Shao Fang first aid. There were also many princes and ministers who came to hear the news standing around. Everyone frowned and looked worried. When they saw Shao Ting, they all knelt down and saluted.

"Get up, get up!" Shao Ting's heart was on Shao Fang at this time. He walked quickly to the bed and looked down. He saw Shao Fang lying motionless on the bed, his eyes closed, his face pale and bloodless, like white paper, and his appearance was no different from a dead person. After the old man saw it, his head buzzed, his body shook back and forth, and he almost fainted on the spot.

The ministers, guards, and doctors hurried forward to support Shao Ting, saying repeatedly: "Your Majesty, take care of yourself, Your Majesty, take care of yourself!"

After a long while, Shao Ting finally recovered his breath. He looked at the doctor and asked anxiously: "Can my son be saved?"

Hearing this, the doctors looked at each other, lowered their heads, and whispered: "Replying to the king, Your Majesty... Your Majesty is in the chest... I'm afraid..."

"Quack! All of them are quacks!" Shao Ting's face flushed and he shouted.

Shao Fang was dying, and the doctors were already extremely nervous. When they heard Shao Ting's scolding, they were all trembling with fear and knelt on the ground again.

Shao Ting was too lazy to pay attention to them. He called the imperial doctors he brought over and asked them to give Shao Fang first aid.

When they saw Shao Fang's injuries clearly, the imperial doctors were also dumbfounded. This was obviously a sharp weapon piercing the chest, how could he still be saved? However, seeing Shao Ting's hair and beard all standing up, it seemed as if he would kill Shao Fang if he couldn't save him, the imperial doctors could only bite the bullet and try their best.

Shao Ting was nervous, the doctors were nervous, and there was another person who was extremely nervous, that was Dong Sheng standing among the ministers. He had seen Tang Yin's tricks, but he had no idea whether His Highness would have an accident. At this moment, his heart was in his throat, and he was worried that something might happen to Shao Fang.

The imperial doctors reapplied medicine to Shao Fang's chest wound, stopped bleeding, bandaged it, and gave him several emergency medicines. After a busy period, a miracle really happened. Shao Fang's injuries gradually stabilized, and his pulse showed signs of beating again. The imperial doctors were all surprised and happy, and they worked harder to treat him.

The first aid lasted for nearly an hour. Although Shao Fang's face was still pale, his chest and abdomen were already rising and falling with breathing. The imperial doctors kowtowed to Shao Ting excitedly and said in unison: "Miracle! It's really a miracle! Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty, Your Highness has survived. This must be God's help!"

"Ah?" Shao Ting didn't react for a long time. Although he didn't know medicine, he knew that if the heart was pierced, the person would definitely die. He had already despaired. Now he suddenly heard the imperial doctors say that Shao Fang's life was saved. The old man couldn't believe his ears. He was stunned for a long time. He asked uncertainly: "Is my son okay?"

"It's the great king's great fortune that moved the heavens..."

"Ah...haha...woooo..." Shao Ting laughed twice, then burst into tears, and many ministers and servants around him also pretended to wipe their tears.

After getting the confirmation of the imperial doctor, Dong Sheng's heart, which was about to jump out of his mouth, finally fell back to its original position. At this time, he felt a chill all over his body. When he touched it with his hand, it turned out that his underwear had been soaked with sweat. He understood that now was not the time to secretly rejoice.

Dong Sheng stepped forward quickly, walked close to Shao Ting, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, this must be God's blessing! Your Majesty survived a great disaster, and you will have great fortune in the future! This is a blessing for our country and people!"

This made the ministers standing aside who supported Shao Bo as the crown prince frown. What did Dong Sheng mean by this? It was obvious that he intended to push Shao Fang to the top, but it was strange. Didn't Dong Sheng and Shao Fang have a cold relationship? Why did he suddenly speak to Shao Fang today?

Shao Bo didn't think there was anything wrong with Dong Sheng's words. The second brother survived a great disaster, which was indeed an exciting and happy event. At this time, Shao Bo didn't feel at all that a fatal spearhead had been quietly aimed at him.

Shao Ting's excited mood finally calmed down gradually. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves and sighed to the sky. Dong Sheng's words made him very happy. After all, Shao Fang was his son, his own flesh and blood. If he was really helped by God and protected by God, it would be his blessing.

After calming down completely, the excitement on Shao Ting's face faded, replaced by a cold face. He turned around and shouted: "General Yao?"

"I'm here!" A middle-aged general wearing a golden helmet and golden armor hurriedly stepped forward and saluted. This man was named Yao Ben, a general of the Mo Kingdom. He served as a guard and was in charge of the 50,000 guards stationed in the capital.

"Can you send someone to catch the assassin?"

"I have blocked the whole city and sent my subordinates to search the whole city, but at present... no trace of the assassin has been found!" Yao Ben answered cautiously.

Zhenjiang City is so big, with a population of millions, it is not an easy task to search out the assassin from it.

But Shao Ting didn't care about these, he only looked at the results. He said coldly: "I don't care what method General Yao uses. Before dark tomorrow, I want to hear the news that the assassin has been successfully captured!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Yao Ben grinned secretly and bowed his head to receive the order.

Dong Sheng rolled his eyes and deliberately showed a look of wanting to say something but stopping. Shao Ting looked at him and asked in confusion: "Does your dear Dong have anything to say?"

"Oh... I'm fine!" Dong Sheng bowed his head hurriedly.

Shao Ting and Dong Sheng were too familiar with each other. The monarch and his subjects had been together for decades. Basically, Shao Ting could understand what Dong Sheng meant by a hint. Seeing this, Shao Ting knew that Dong Sheng had something to say but couldn't say it in public, so he stopped asking questions and asked people to lift Shao Fang onto the carriage and take him back to the palace. One was to protect him nearby, and the other was to facilitate the treatment of the imperial doctor.

On the way back to the palace, Shao Ting called Dong Sheng onto his carriage and asked him to ride with him. On the way, Shao Ting asked, "Lord Dong, what did you want to say to me just now?"

Dong Sheng pondered for a moment and asked, "Don't you think the assassination of His Highness is very strange?"

"Oh?" Shao Ting was stunned, thought about it carefully, and asked, "Lord Dong, what do you mean..."

"Your Highness's Prince's Mansion has always been heavily guarded. Ordinary assassins can't even get in, let alone assassinate. But this assassin was able to sneak into the Prince's Mansion without anyone noticing, and escape smoothly after the assassination. He is definitely not an ordinary person. I'm afraid he has a great background!" Dong Sheng "calmly" analyzed it for Shao Ting.

Shao Ting thought carefully and felt that what Dong Sheng said made sense. He nodded and asked, "Who on earth could send such a powerful assassin to kill Fanger?"

Dong Sheng said, "Your Highness is a low-key person and has no dealings with ministers, let alone any disputes with them..." After a pause, he let out a sigh as if he had suddenly realized something, and then closed his mouth and said no more.

Seeing this, Shao Ting's appetite was aroused, and he said, "Lord Dong, if you have something to say, please say it quickly!"

"I dare not say it!"

"Hey? Is there anything else that we, the king and the minister, can't say?" Shao Ting frowned in dissatisfaction.
