God-given peasant wife's good fortune

Chapter 791 The Emperor Was Assassinated
[-]

In Duke Huguo's mansion, Xiang Zirun was chatting with Mrs. Yao in Pine Age Hall after dinner, when he suddenly saw a guard from "Grand Hyatt Restaurant" walk in with a solemn expression.

This guard was personally trained by Xiang Zirun, and he didn't change his expression in the face of death. His expression had no choice but to make Su Kefang think badly.

Before Xiang Zirun and Su Kefang could ask, the guard knelt down in front of Xiang Zirun: "Master, the emperor and the crown prince were assassinated in a restaurant."

"What?!" Xiang Zi Runhuo stood up, and rushed out like an arrow without even asking.

The faces of Su Kefang, Yao Shi and others also changed greatly, especially Ouyang Wanruo, who was so anxious that she almost threw her son out of her arms: "Why is the emperor in the restaurant? Are you injured?"

"Back to the princess, the emperor and the prince went to the restaurant for dinner, and they only brought a few hidden guards with them. The emperor was stabbed in the shoulder. I don't know if it is poisonous." The guard replied.

Xiang Zirun left in a hurry just now without any medicine, not to mention Ouyang Rui didn't know if he was poisoned, Su Kefang immediately said: "Mother, I'll go and have a look too."

Ouyang Rui met the assassin in their family's restaurant, and if he was really poisoned, they would have nothing to do with it.

At this moment, Su Kefang greeted all eighteen generations of Ouyang Rui's ancestors from the bottom of his heart. You are an emperor, and there are no delicacies in the palace, so why did you come to her restaurant to eat?

It's fine to come to her restaurant for dinner, why don't you bring more guards, is this intentional to kill them?

"Sister-in-law, I'll go with you!" Ouyang Wanruo put the child down and let the nanny watch, and was about to go with Su Kefang.

"Princess, I don't know if the assassin in the restaurant has left, you can't go now!" Su Kefang glanced at Xiang Chenxiang, and said: "Look at the princess!"

After finishing speaking, Su Kefang didn't stay for a moment, took Su Mu and Su Ye with him and rode out of the mansion, heading straight for the "Grand Hyatt Restaurant".

Lin Zhaohong did not return from his mission, the assassin had already left when the people from the Onmyoji Department arrived, Ouyang Rui was injured, the restaurant was in chaos, and the shopkeeper cleared all the guests out of the restaurant.

At this time, Ouyang Rui was moved to a bedroom in the back hall by the shopkeeper of the restaurant. The shoulder injury was simply treated by the hidden guard, and he was lying on the bed with his eyes closed.

The prince held Ouyang Rui's hand tightly, and it was hard to suppress the shock in his heart.

"Father, do you have any discomfort?" The prince asked with red eyes.

The moment the assassin appeared just now, he thought he was sure to die, but at that moment, his father pushed him away and blocked the knife for him. They pushed into the secret room, otherwise their father and son might have become the souls of assassins.

Ouyang Rui slowly opened his eyes, saw the tears in the prince's eyes, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "I can't bear even a little setback, how can I trust you to hand over the country to you in the future?!"

Ouyang Rui was only stabbed in the shoulder and lost some blood, but his life was not in danger. With his good background, he was quite confident.

Ouyang Rui's forceful reprimand not only did not make the prince put away his tears, but made his tense nerves relax, and he lay on Ouyang Rui's body and burst into tears: "Father...Father..."

When he was a child, whenever he saw his father being kind to Ouyang Zhe, he would feel sad, because his father had never been kind to him since he was sensible. There were complaints, and when he grew up, he knew the importance of power, and his heart became cold, and he no longer expected to be loved by his father, and he devoted himself to his studies and government affairs, and only hoped that one day he could become the Ninth Five-Year King , that is the ultimate goal of his life.

But...but today he realized that his father's love for him is so heavy...

Ouyang Bo was overwhelmed by guilt and self-blame, and his crying was deafening. This was the first time in his adult life that he could not control his emotions.

As the crown prince, he cried so inconspicuously, Ouyang Rui frowned for a while and then relaxed, his heart softened, and the expression in his eyes softened.

Taking out the hand tightly held by his son and patting him on the back, Ouyang Rui turned to comfort him: "I just suffered a little trauma, if you cry like this, those people outside might think I'm dead!"

The son cried like this because of him, and Ouyang Rui couldn't say what he blamed.

After hearing these words, Ouyang Bo realized how out of control he was, and stopped crying instantly, but the fluctuation in his heart could not be calmed down all at once.

"Father..." Facing his father's gentle eyes, Ouyang Bo felt sore again.

"I'm fine." Ouyang Rui looked at him disapprovingly: "The dignified prince is crying like this, where is his majesty? Hurry up and wash up!"

"When the Duke Protector comes, I will go to freshen up." Ouyang Bo held his father's hand tightly, fearing that he would never see his father again if he left.

When something happened, his father called Duke Hu Guogong's name, and Ouyang Bo realized at that moment that he and his father were father and son whose blood was thicker than water, while Hu Guogong was someone his father could rely on heavily. There is a big difference between the two. He was blinded by interests before and almost made a big mistake.

Ouyang Rui was full of thoughts, and said earnestly: "Bo'er, I wanted to leave Xiang Chenhong and the Su family to you, but you beheaded yourself. What do you think I should say?"

Regardless of Duke Protector's ability in marching and fighting, Su's ability to earn money was also a great help to Ouyang Bo's accession to the throne, but Ouyang Bo offended their husband and wife, which was one of the reasons for Ouyang Rui's anger.

"Father, I'm sorry, it's my son who failed your hard work." Ouyang Bo truly repented.

"Actually, I can't completely blame you," Ouyang Rui sighed softly, "It's because I didn't give you enough confidence that caused you to misunderstand Zirun's loyalty."

Ouyang Rui paused, and said: "But Boer, if I haven't been strict enough to you these years, can you grow up like this? You know, this throne is not so easy to sit on, and you may fall from the clouds if you are negligent. Your Majesty, I have loved Zhe'er all these years, why am I not urging you?"

"Father, my son understands!" Ouyang Bo held his father's hand a little harder, he understood that his father's love for him was no less than that for Ouyang Zhe.

If he still doesn't understand his father's good intentions for him at this time, then he really doesn't deserve to be his father's son.

"Father, don't worry, my ministers will treat Duke Hu's family kindly in the future." Ouyang Bo said solemnly.

Ouyang Rui smiled wryly: "Bo'er, let them go back to seclusion."

After so many things, even if the prince treated them sincerely, Xiang Zirun would not dare to trust them anymore.
