Chapter 292 The No. 1 Female Assassin in Jianghu 1
Zhang Yong saw Zhang Xintong coming back, looked behind her, and saw that there was no one behind her, and looked a little lonely.
Zhang Xintong knew what he was looking for, and after entering the room, she asked Zhang Yong to close the door. Zhang Yong thought that the senior wanted to say something to him, so he closed the door obediently.
Zhang Xintong and Zhang Yong were the only two people in the room. Zhang Xintong took off her veil. When Zhang Yong saw Zhang Xintong's face, he opened his mouth in surprise.
Zhang Xintong calls Zhang Yong
"Brother, I am your sister."
Zhang Yong was excited and happy, but he suddenly remembered that he had called his sister "senior" and bowed to her...
Zhang Xintong saw Zhang Yong’s face turn slightly red and laughed out loud.
"Brother, from now on, call me Tongtong, no need to call me senior."
Zhang Yong nodded Zhang Xintong's head
“Quite naughty”
"Brother, I have something important to tell you. Sit down first."
After the two sat down
"Tongtong, what's the matter, tell me"
Zhang Xintong told Zhang Yong about her experiences over the years and the information she had found this time. She confirmed that the person behind the Shadow Gate was the emperor, and it was the emperor who wanted to kill Zhang Yong. The Shadow Gate assassins and the second prince were both knives in the emperor's hands.
"Brother, the Shadow Gate will hold a general meeting in five days. I think this matter is aimed at our family. I have an idea now. Can you help me?"
"Tongtong, you say..."
"Brother, I'm going to kill the emperor, and then..."
Before Zhang Xintong could finish her words, Zhang Yong covered her mouth.
"Tongtong, you can't say that, or you'll lose your head."
Zhang Xintong pried Zhang Yong's hands apart
"Brother, if I don't kill him, he will kill you. Do you think he will let our family go? I will definitely kill him. It depends on whether you will help me or not."
Zhang Yong also knew the truth, looking at his sister's determined eyes.
"Tongtong, what do you want me to do?"
"Brother, I killed the emperor, and he didn't appoint a crown prince. The princes will definitely fight. In order to prevent chaos in the world, we must push someone to the throne. What do you think of the eldest prince?"
"It's okay! I've been fighting outside for many years, so I don't know much about it."
Zhang Xintong chose the eldest prince because, firstly, according to the information on the capital's secret affairs, he was considered normal and hadn't done anything too outrageous. Secondly, the eldest prince had shown goodwill to them and had an unclear relationship with Prince Rui, so he seemed more reliable.
"Brother, let's talk about the eldest prince! Go to the eldest prince's mansion now and tell him that the emperor is terminally ill. Ask him if he wants to fight for the position. You can help him."
"Tongtong, when are you going to take action?"
"Brother, where are your soldiers?"
“Just outside the city”
"If the talks with the eldest prince go smoothly, we will start tonight."
"Tongtong, are you in such a hurry?"
"Brother, I just want to kill him by surprise."
"Okay, then I'll go to the Grand Prince's Mansion now. If everything goes well, I'll come back and let you know."
"Brother, I'll go with you. I'm worried about the eldest prince."
"Okay, let's go!"
The two soon arrived at the eldest prince's mansion. Zhang Yong met the eldest prince in front of his hospital bed. The eldest prince was lying on the bed and couldn't get up at all.
Zhang Yong was puzzled
"Cousin, what's wrong with you?"
The eldest prince smiled
"Cousin, someone can't tolerate me, I'm going to die."
Zhang Yong understood that the emperor had become suspicious of the eldest prince and had taken action against him.
Zhang Xintong took the eldest prince's pulse and took a pill from her bosom and fed it to him. The eldest prince was almost dead, and he didn't worry about others harming him, so he ate it directly.
Zhang Xintong's medicine was effective, and half an hour later, the eldest prince was able to sit up. Everything went smoothly afterwards, and the eldest prince agreed to Zhang Yong's proposal. However, the time was changed to the next night. The eldest prince was too weak to wait until the next day.
After the discussion, Zhang Yong and Zhang Xintong returned to Prince Rui's Mansion.
"Brother, tomorrow at 11:00 PM, I will make the Emperor sick. Please calculate the time."
"Okay, don't worry."
That night, the brother and sister went to bed early.
The next day, at the hour of Xu, Zhang Xintong entered the palace an hour early. The palace was heavily guarded, and many experts were inside. Zhang Xintong affixed an invisibility talisman and entered the palace with bated breath.
If you use the invisibility talisman in an ordinary place, no one will notice it. But in a place like the palace, even if you are invisible, there is still a sense of presence. The masters in the palace are not idle, so they will naturally discover it.
Zhang Xintong's situation is special. She has superb martial arts skills and an invisibility talisman, which allowed her to enter the palace smoothly.
When Zhang Xintong arrived at the emperor's bedroom, the emperor had just gone to bed. The emperor didn't go to the concubines in the harem today, which made it convenient for Zhang Xintong.
Zhang Xintong chose a drug that would cause cardiac arrest, which would take effect within 15 minutes. She drugged the emperor in advance and fed him the drug when the time came.
At the hour of Hai, the emperor passed away quietly.
Eunuch Li, who was beside the emperor, went into the bedroom to check and only called the imperial physician when he saw that the emperor was really dead.
Zhang Xintong discovered that the eldest prince was quite powerful. She thought that the eldest prince would let the young eunuchs or palace maids find out, but she didn't expect that the eunuch Li beside the emperor was actually the eldest prince's man.
When the imperial physician arrived, the empress and the eldest prince also arrived. When the imperial physician declared the emperor's death impossible, the empress immediately produced the imperial decree of succession, which stated that the eldest prince would be made crown prince and that the throne would be passed to him after the emperor's death.
The princes, princesses, concubines, and ministers of the second rank and above were all there.
Zhang Yong's soldiers surrounded the palace tightly to prevent anyone from causing trouble.
The eldest prince was the eldest legitimate son, so whether the throne was passed down to the eldest prince or the legitimate heir, there was nothing wrong with passing it on to the eldest prince. The queen had the imperial edict in her hand, and Eunuch Li was the witness. No minister, no matter which faction, dared to object.
The second prince was the most aware of the current situation. He had no one to rely on, while the eldest prince had Zhang Yong's support and an imperial edict of succession, so he didn't dare say a word.
The fifth prince wanted to fight, but the prime minister saw that Zhang Yong's army had surrounded the palace like an iron barrel, and the fifth prince was suppressed.
The eldest prince became the new emperor without any danger.
With the new emperor, the shadow guards, loyal only to the emperor, also changed their masters. The new emperor ascended the throne with the help of Zhang Yong. The shadow guard leader, Qinglong, asked the new emperor if the previous emperor's orders were related to Zhang Yong.
"Your Majesty, the late emperor ordered the Shadow Clan to strangle Prince Rui's mansion with all their might in three days. Will this order still be carried out?"
"Don't execute it anymore, revoke it!"
"Yes"
Qinglong asked the shadow guard to go to the Shadow Gate to notify them to stop executing the order to strangle Prince Rui's Mansion.
Before leaving the palace, Zhang Xintong used the ancient martial arts of testing kinship that she learned in the previous world to test the relationship between the eldest prince and herself.
The previous world said that this ancient martial art could only be tested on people related to you. Relatives included grandparents, parents, siblings, children, grandchildren, and grandchildren. Cousins could not be tested.
The results of the test were both unexpected and reasonable. The eldest prince was indeed her brother. In other words, the eldest prince was the child of the Empress and Prince Rui. The late emperor was so cuckolded, it was hilarious.
“Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha…”
