Chapter 316: Bad News Returns
The news of Luo Yi and Ji Qingyao's disappearance soon spread back to Yeshu City, and this result not only hit Luo Lanzhi hard, but also made the emperor angry and shocked!
"Still no news?!"
On this day, when he went to the court, the scouts sent out also happened to rush back, and in front of the civil and military officials, the emperor was not good enough to say anything 'let him go', after all, the missing person was not a bystander, but the only daughter of Luo Lanzhi, the right minister of the dynasty and Ji Qingyao, the king of the dynasty, who had the title! Not to mention that after removing the identity of 'His Royal Highness King Ye', Ji Qingyao also has the title of 'Three Princes'!
As soon as the identities of the two are combined, how not to make people extremely anxious!
"Your Majesty, there is none!"
Although the emperor's attitude was annoyed, the scout's answer still made people's hearts cold. Especially Luo Lanzhi, who didn't have much spirit, listened to the scout's words at this time, and his body stumbled even more suddenly, almost unsteadily leaning back.
"If Luo Aiqing is unwell, let's rest for a few days." Although the emperor is jealous of his powerful courtiers, he also has a little love for Luo Lanzhi, "Once Miss Luo has news, I will definitely send someone to inform you immediately!" ”
What the emperor said was categorical, which made people's hearts tremble. But for Luo Lanzhi, the emperor's words were dispensable. After all, if Luo Yi does not return for a day, the emperor's words will be empty words for a day!
"Thank you for the emperor's concern, Weichen is fine." Luo Lanzhi stabilized his body, and the other party reached out to help his minister slightly bowed his head, which was counted as thanks, "King Ye was entrusted by Weichen to help find Xiao Sheng, and now his whereabouts are unknown because of Xiao Sheng...... If you don't see His Royal Highness King Ye return safely, Weichen will not be at peace in his heart! ”
As he spoke, Luo Lanzhi bowed his hand to the emperor and made a standard pilgrimage. This kind of Luo Lanzhi made the emperor's eyes slightly sideways, but he didn't say anything to blame him.
Everyone also saw this in their eyes, and they were a little more calculating in their hearts.
It is rumored that the right minister Luo Lanzhi aroused the emperor's suspicion because of his excessive power, causing the emperor to no longer fully trust him, but now it seems that this is not the case!
"I can't complain about you about the third child." The emperor also sighed lightly after hearing Luo Lanzhi's words, although he had no feelings for Ji Qingyao's son, he had to admit that the suggestion was correct
He was the most capable of all his sons, and "if he is willing to grant your request, it means that he himself is willing to do so." ”
"Arashiyuki, you don't have to feel too guilty."
The emperor's tone of voice also softened a lot, and his eyes were very soft when he looked at Luo Lanzhi.
Such a look made the ministers of the court suddenly have different thoughts, and the two princes present began to 'snap' their own little abacus.
Since Luo Lanzhi is so favored and trusted by the emperor, as long as he can win over Luo Lanzhi, won't he really be able to make himself prosperous?
"Report!"
At this moment, another scout came in a hurry, he clenched his fists and bowed his hands, kneeling in the Jinluan Palace, his expression respectful and his back straight. His arrival also made everyone stretch out their ears, just to hear the news that their hearts were willing to hear.
"The southwest cliff found the clothes of Miss Luo and His Royal Highness King Ye!"
As soon as the scout's words came out, everyone's faces turned abruptly to the side. What is a cliff? Naturally, it's the bottomless cliff! Wouldn't it be better to find the clothes of the two at the bottom of the cliff
"But what else have you found?"
Luo Lanzhi didn't care about the courtesy of a monarch and a question of whether to offend or not at this time, he only turned his head sharply to look at the scout who came to report the news, with a bit of hope in his eyes.
And seeing Luo Lanzhi like this, the scout's words were a little unspeakable. But in the end, the scout still gritted his teeth and bowed his hand to the emperor and said respectfully: "In addition, the inferior people found traces of a fight at the bottom of the cliff!" On the wall of the cliff, find the sword that His Royal Highness King Ye always carries! ”
Hearing the scout's words, Luo Lanzhi's eyes suddenly darkened, and his body retreated several steps uncontrollably.
For Luo Lanzhi, the scout's words have undoubtedly sentenced Luo Yi and Ji Qingyao to death!
What do you mean that there are traces of a fight at the bottom of the cliff? What is the long sword commonly used by Ji Qingyao on the cliff? What do you mean by the clothes on Ji Qingyao and Luo Yi?
Doesn't that mean that the two of them are in danger or have less luck!
"Someone! Come! Xuan Taiyi! ”
After seeing Luo Lanzhi's face pale and a lot of cold sweat on his forehead, the emperor suddenly shouted loudly, and his words became more and more anxious.
In this way, everyone also retreated, so as to leave a gap for Luo Lanzhi, so that he would not be surrounded by everyone in the middle, which would make the situation even worse!
"Your Majesty, the Third Emperor Brother and Miss Luo are bound to be framed by others this time, otherwise for no reason, how could they both be killed?" Ji Zhao somehow stepped forward at this time, "And this happened to be an accident when Miss Luo and the Third Emperor Brother agreed for life and took your order to investigate Wan'er's sister's affairs, is this too much of a coincidence?" ”
Although Ji Zhao's voice was not loud, it successfully made the emperor hear it clearly, and at the same time, it also made the emperor's face change suddenly, which made people palpitate suddenly.
"What do you mean by that?"
With the help of the imperial doctor, the emperor looked at Luo Lan, whose face had already looked a lot better, and then moved his eyes to Ji Zhao's body.
His tone was a bit wary, as if telling Ji Zhao that if he was talking nonsense, the emperor would definitely punish him severely.
I thought that the emperor's attitude would make Ji Zhao a little more restrained, but he never thought that Ji Zhao's face would not change, and he looked a little more serious!
"Father, the sons and daughters think that the murder of Miss Luo and the Third Emperor Brother is no accident!"
Seeing this, the emperor also sank, knowing that Ji Zhao's words were by no means groundless, but had a certain basis for speculation! Thinking of this, the emperor also said slowly: "Fourth, do you know what you are talking about. ”
"Erchen knows!"
Ji Zhao heard the emperor's words and understood that the emperor had moved to listen to himself, so his tone became more and more determined, which made the emperor frown.
After a while, I heard the emperor speak: "In this case, what do you say?" ”
"Erchen thinks that it is Miss Luo and the Third Emperor Brother who have made a lifelong decision, which makes some people blush or their interests are damaged!" Although Ji Zhao's voice was not loud, it made people's hearts tremble, probably everyone in the royal family has such a ability, they are not arrogant, and they give people psychological pressure, "Father, you must know better in your heart than your sons!" ”
Hearing Ji Zhao's words, the emperor's brows furrowed more and more. He looked at Ji Zhao for a long time, and then squinted his eyes, but he didn't speak for a long time.
I don't know how long it took before I heard the emperor say, "Are you suspicious of your second emperor brother?" ”
