Chapter 008: The Imperial Study

At the end of a straight road, the jade steps slowly ascended. The fine white jade paved ground shone with a warm light, and a mist seemed to envelop a palace in the distance.

The golden glazed tiles shine brightly in the sun; The two dragons on the cornices carved from sandalwood, with golden scales and golden armor, are vivid, as if they want to fly into the air. Floating windows carved from green tiles, wall panels stacked with jade, and eight straight pillars in front of the door carved with lifelike dragon patterns.

At the top of the red vermilion lacquer gate hangs a black gold silk nanmu plaque, on which are inscribed with three big characters "Imperial Study". It is awe-inspiring and intimidating.

In the imperial study, the eunuch maid carefully swept the broken teacups. A group of guards fell to their knees.

A man in his forties stood in front of the dragon case, dressed in a bright yellow robe, embroidered with the pattern of a dragon soaring in the sea, and the sleeves of his robe were carried high by the wind under the turbulent golden waves at the corners of the robe.

The flying long eyebrows were slightly raised, his eyes were open angrily, and the green tendons on his forehead were bulging with the whirring breath, with god-like majesty and innate nobility, and the whole person emitted a kind of king aura that shocked the world. so that people dare not look at it.

"Please let the emperor calm his anger, the ministers are not doing their job well, and they are willing to bear any punishment." Mr. Zhong knelt on the ground, not daring to look up. I don't know what kind of punishment awaits me.

"If you are willing to be punished, then you know what kind of punishment you are going to get." As soon as these words came out, the guards kneeling on the ground were frightened, and their faces were like ashes. The sweat on his forehead was dripping down. His arms were shaking violently.

I don't know what the emperor's next sentence will be. Mr. Zhong's heart was gradually filled with indescribable unease. The fear in my heart is even better. The only remaining reason tells me that now is not the time for fear. You must fight for yourself before the emperor announces his punishment.

This sense of oppression can't help but remind Mr. Zhong of Youji. Damn, Long Yan was already furious, and he couldn't say anything he shouldn't say at this time. Otherwise, the head will move immediately.

So what else do you have in your hands now? Information that Princess Yuki Mu Zhengqin's child is still alive? The root of the emperor's feelings? What do you say? Can we turn back the situation we are in? At this time, no matter whether it is right or wrong, as long as the answer is not in line with the emperor's wishes, there is only one death.

In a word, I can only say one sentence, a sentence about life and death. The slightest mistake will make the pool fall to the ground. The cells in the brain are working at a rapid pace. The respective messages alternate together and then disappear. And then a sentence is derived.

"Princess Yuuki"

I saw that the emperor was shocked, his pupils shrank suddenly, and the chains in his brain seemed to be shattered in an instant, and he felt that the blood in his whole body coagulated in an instant, making him unable to move. Slowly, the anger in his eyes turned to love. It's great she's still alive. Is this God's favor for me?

After a while, he was a little more pale, and his face was calm again. "What's going on, tell me the truth." The majesty in the tone is difficult to disobey.

"About a few days ago, the minister received a secret report, and the spy said that he was looking at a person who looked like a princess in Queensland. took the Mu family's token to the pawnshop, and took a baby with him. ”

Does the emperor remember. "Mufu was assassinated a month ago, and when the minister rushed to Mufu, Mufu was already in flames. At that time, Princess Youji was learning guzheng in Mufu. All the corpses of Mufu were burned beyond recognition. Only by relying on the gold bracelet that the princess has always carried on her hand can the princess's identity be determined. ”

However, Mu Zhengqin's son and the Mu family's tokens are missing. The emperor ordered a thorough investigation of the matter and must find out the culprit who killed Mufu. "And the token of Mufu.

"The minister was ordered to investigate the whereabouts of the Mu family's tokens, and he did not dare to slack off in the slightest. To hear the newspaper is to go to Queensland in person. In Queensland, I saw the living Princess Youji. At that time, the minister couldn't believe it, but the princess stood in front of the minister alive. ”

"The minister is kind to the princess, but the princess is very wary of the minister. said that he would not come back with his ministers. However, he also held the minister hostage. ”

"If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can look at the scars on the minister's neck."

There was not the slightest expression on the emperor's face. At the beginning, he had the idea of killing the Mu family, but because Youji and Mu Fu had a close relationship. For Mu Guifei. I've dispelled that idea.

And Mu Fu was assassinated a month ago, and he was also surprised. What saddened him the most was that Yuki was also killed in this assassination, and he vowed to find the murderer. Avenge your daughter. But so far, who assassinated the Mu family still has no eyebrows at all. ”

The emperor's hand was already clenched into a fist. His eyelids drooped slightly, looking at the scar on Mr. Zhong's neck. The emperor's eyes must be. Speak slowly. "I won't punish you this time, if I find out that you have half a lie, I will definitely divide your five horses."

Mr. Zhong's pupils tightened, and his body naturally relaxed, it seemed that he had reversed the situation this time.

"Now I order you, no matter what method you use, you must bring Yuki back to me unscathed."

Manager Zhong's face swept a moment of astonishment, if he heard it right, what the emperor said was to bring Princess Youji back unscathed. It's really unfathomable.

"We're in command."

"Okay, let's go down, I'm tired and want to rest."

"The ministers have retired, long live our emperor, long live, long live, long live"

After a while, the study class became empty. The emperor held a fan and looked at the crooked handwriting on it. He smiled knowingly. Sunlight shone in through the window. It felt like the light was so dazzling, and the sunset became so beautiful. It feels like everything is sparkling.

As soon as he returned to the army, several guards were still chattering about how to teach Liu Yanqing a bloody lesson. Thanks to him, I almost moved my head today.

Looking at Manager Zhong, who had been telling them to be cautious, he didn't say a word when he returned to his house from the imperial study. The expression was very anxious.

One of the guards couldn't help but ask. "Head, what's wrong with you today? You didn't say a word when you came out of the palace. ”

"Zhao Jie, go and bring me the box you brought back from Mufu last time."

"What are you looking for that, a bunch of."

"You don't want this month's money, do you?"

"Don't ...... Head, I'll go and find you the box right away," said Zhao Jie, and disappeared numbly.

When the box was opened, there were some unburned yellow silk inside, and there was a faint jade seal of the emperor on it, and the secret words of the assassination troops remained on it.

Mr. Zhong used to belong to this assassination army, so he could understand the code words on it.

When I first arrived in Mufu, in order to prevent other people from seeing these code words, I kept it at that time. I always thought it was an order from the emperor, and I didn't plan to investigate it in detail at all.

And looking at the emperor's attitude today, I have some doubts. But how do you look at these like the emperor's handwriting?

A thought flashed in Chief Zhong's head, could it be that it wasn't the emperor's order to assassinate Mufu at that time?

If it was an order from the emperor, it would be impossible to keep such an important thing.

If you take a closer look at the code words on it so clearly, it seems that it was deliberately left there, if your inference is not wrong, then the person who left this kind of thing wants to blame the emperor? Mr. Zhong suddenly felt creepy

If this thing is not discovered by himself, but by the people of the Mu family. Then the consequences of things will be unimaginable. It seems that the operator behind the scenes is really afraid that the world will not be chaotic!

So who is it that can use the emperor's assassination army and not be detected? Mr. Zhong felt an unprecedented sense of urgency? Who is secretly manipulating this qiē? Mr. Zhong suddenly felt a chill hit him, making him feel a little creepy. What kind of conspiracy is here, Mr. Zhong doesn't know.
