Grace Yue's Silent Strength: The Pillar of Henry Yuan's Guar Chapter 101

Before the ice and snow melted and the first month of the lunar year came, an unexpected event occurred in the harem.

In Concub!ne Wen's bedroom, a man dressed as a young eunuch attempted to assassinate the twelve-year-old Second Prince Chen An. Fortunately, he was caught by the guards and escaped danger.

Emperor Zhaowu was furious and ordered that the mastermind be found out within three days. He also wanted to dismiss Zhu Lanting, the commander of the imperial guard. However, after the ministers pleaded for mercy, he decided to investigate the case before punishing the person appropriately.

After interrogation, it turned out that the assassin was not a real eunuch. He had high cheekbones, dark complexion, and red cheeks. People in the Central Plains rarely had such a face. He looked like a person from the northwest. He confessed that he was instructed by Concub!ne Hui to assassinate the second prince. He was not familiar with the terrain of the harem. It was Concub!ne Hui who led him to Concub!ne Wen's bedroom. Concub!ne Hui did visit Concub!ne Wen that day. As soon as she left, the assassin came.

This result was of great significance, as it involved the Crown Prince and Concub!ne Hui, and no one dared to speak out. The Minister of the Dali Temple had to report the content of the interrogation truthfully, but he also immediately went to discuss it with Yan Zilian.
