The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1015

Chapter 1015: Chapter 853, Assassin

The Emperor was injured and fell into a coma, which left everyone who had accompanied him on the hunt unable to sleep, silently keeping watch over the situation at the Dragon Tent.

The next day, as dawn broke, several Imperial Physicians once again entered the Dragon Tent.

The Crown Prince and his brothers also wanted to check on the Emperor, but unfortunately, they were kept outside by the Imperial Guards.

The brothers were very dissatisfied with this.

However, since the Imperial Guards were directly under the Emperor’s command, they dared not challenge them and could only angrily return to their respective tents.

Time passed slowly, and soon another day had gone by.

Seeing that there was still no news of the Emperor waking up from the Dragon Tent, the Crown Prince and his brothers, along with their respective supporters, became increasingly restless.

As night fell, the adult princes gathered their family members from the Yue Family and other relatives in their tents, discussing in low voices the ’major issues’ concerning the future.

"If the Emperor really is in peril... we might need to start making preparations."

Outside the Fourth Prince’s tent, the wife of the Fourth Prince smiled as she saw off her family members, then turned back to the tent and saw her husband sitting under the lamp, lost in thought, and silently went to make the bed.

The Third Prince observed the actions of his brothers, and late at night, wearing a cloak, he quietly went to the Jiang Family’s tent.

As soon as he entered, he anxiously asked Duke Cheng’en, "Is Father really near his end?"

Duke Cheng’en glanced at the Third Prince and confirmed, "The Emperor indeed was seriously injured and fell unconscious during the hunt."

The Third Prince still found it hard to believe.

Duke Cheng’en knew that the Third Prince was hesitating about what to do next, and could only say, "I had people visit the hunting scene. The place was covered in blood, horrifically gruesome, and certainly not staged."

"Moreover... there are my people within the Jinling Guard. This afternoon, Xiu Xiangchen secretly sent the Jinling Guard back to Beijing to mobilize the Capital Defense Army."

"Think for yourself, if the Emperor’s injury were not severe, would there be any need to call in the Guard?"

The Third Prince’s face showed struggle.

Duke Cheng’en continued, "Third Prince, opportunity waits for no one. The forces behind the Crown Prince and the others are no weaker than yours. If you, who have prepared in advance, still cannot overcome them now, you might never have the chance again."

The Third Prince clenched his fists, hesitated for a moment, then his expression firmed up as he looked towards Duke Cheng’en, "Alright, I agree. When do we act?"

A sly smile flickered in Duke Cheng’en’s eyes, "We need to take control of the camp before the Guard arrives. But before that, you need to collaborate with the Crown Prince and others to do one thing."

Third Prince: "What is it?"

Duke Cheng’en: "Capture Xiao Yeyang, on the grounds of failing to protect the Emperor. Without capturing Xiao Yeyang, our plans afterward will not go smoothly."

After a pause, the Third Prince then turned and left the tent to find the Crown Prince and his brothers.

...

Meanwhile, in the tent of Daohua and Xiao Yeyang, Daohua looked surprised as Gu Jian suddenly appeared, "Master, what brings you here?"

Dongli: "The old master heard that the Emperor was injured at the hunting ground, insisted on coming to see for himself; I couldn’t stop him and had to quietly bring him here."

Gu Jian looked at Daohua, "How serious are the Emperor’s injuries, actually?"

Daohua lowered her voice, "The Emperor should be fine; please don’t worry, Master."

Gu Jian frowned, "What do you mean should be fine?" After pausing, he added, "Call Yeyang back for me. Since I’m here, I should at least see the Emperor."

Daohua was not in a position to decide such matters and could only send Wang Manman to fetch him, "Remember, don’t alert anyone."

Soon, Xiao Yeyang returned.

Gu Jian looked at Xiao Yeyang’s expression, and his anxiety relaxed.

He too was scared of the Jiang Family, knowing they were capable of anything when desperate, and was worried that the Emperor had not been guarded against them properly.

Xiao Yeyang quietly relayed the Emperor’s condition to Gu Jian.

Upon hearing that the Emperor had indeed hit his head on a rock, Gu Jian thought for a moment and then said, "I’d better have a look myself, I don’t quite trust the people from the Imperial Medical Bureau."
