Second marriage to the regent

Chapter 143 Trouble in the Palace

Such a big murder occurred, and turmoil broke out again in the DPRK.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the reason why these gangsters dare to cause trouble in Kyoto must be someone behind them. As long as we find out the mastermind behind this, we will be able to restore peace to Kyoto and give an explanation to the people!"

Prime Minister Cao believed that the most important thing was to find out the mastermind behind this and bring him to justice.

"Master Cao really came out of his mouth. Dali Temple, East Factory and West Factory have been jointly investigating this matter for a long time. There is no news yet. How can we find out the mastermind behind this?"

Mr. Wang was the first to come out to refute Prime Minister Cao's point of view.

Master Cao's proposal was rejected by others.

Lord Cao looked up at the emperor and saw that he was silent. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before making any more noise.

Although he is a minister of a country, his opinions cannot reach the ears of the emperor. It is time for him to consider retiring and returning to his hometown.

The emperor finally raised his lowered eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Who do you think is qualified for this task?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the court fell silent.

A general suggested: "Back to the emperor, all the young men in our country have been waiting for the opportunity. Why doesn't the emperor give an order so that all heroes in the world have the opportunity to serve the court? If the villain is really found, the court will have one more capable person." People share the emperor’s worries.”

After hearing this, the emperor nodded repeatedly: "What Aiqing said makes sense. If there is no other countermeasure, then follow Aiqing's wishes and post the notice immediately!"

Silence fell.

This proposal was adopted, and the Emperor hurriedly left.

After Prime Minister Cao left the hall, he followed Li Junyi, keeping a certain distance.

"Why are you following me, Prime Minister?" Li Junyi turned around and asked.

Prime Minister Cao raised his head and was slightly startled, then smiled awkwardly and said, "What do you mean by this, Your Majesty? I am just passing by with Your Majesty. How can you say that I am following Your Majesty?"

Li Junyi was a little speechless, but what Prime Minister Cao said was reasonable. Everyone came out of the main hall, so even walking side by side would not be an exaggeration.

"I am suspicious." After Li Junyi said this, he turned around and continued walking.

Prime Minister Cao followed behind, not knowing whether to say something or not. Just when he was about to stop Li Junyi, a young eunuch appeared in front of Li Junyi.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is looking for you." This was a young eunuch from Cining Palace, which Li Junyi found strange.

But this was the palace, so he didn't need to worry too much.

He followed the little eunuch to Cining Palace, but he was very familiar with the road to Cining Palace. The direction the little eunuch took him was completely wrong.

He knew that this man was anything but simple, and he was probably here to take his own life.

The little eunuch walking in front gradually slowed down, and a dangerous aura suddenly hit his face.

Li Junyi's expression was natural, and he even looked forward to this person's ability. He himself had not been active for some days.

Sure enough, the little eunuch stopped halfway.

"Who are you? Why did you bring me here?" Li Junyi looked around. This is an abandoned cold palace. Even if someone died here, if the smell of the corpse is not strong enough, it will not attract anyone's attention.

The young eunuch lowered his head and replied coldly: "Don't you think it's not good for you to be a prince? You must marry Su Junxi!"

He silently took out the dagger from his sleeve, turned around and stabbed Li Junyi: "If you dare to ruin my good deeds, you will risk your life!"

Seeing the look in his eyes that he was determined to kill her, Li Junyi thought that he could solve the problem casually, but this man's skill was actually on par with her own.

"Who are you?" Li Junyi saw that something was wrong with the little eunuch's face. It was a disguise.

Someone who can enter the palace at will and is so familiar with the terrain, could he be a member of the palace?

Is it the emperor?

But what about the Su Junxi he mentioned just now?

Could it be that his love rival has come to visit?

Thinking of this, Li Junyi's body was inexplicably filled with energy, his force level soared, and he kicked him several meters away.

The little eunuch was kicked and was able to land smoothly without panicking at all. Instead, he quickly raised his head and looked at Li Junyi: "Humph. I really underestimate you. But it doesn't matter. I can handle you easily." It's something."    After saying that, he pounced towards Li Junyi again.

Li Junyi wasn't angry after hearing this, but he hadn't encountered an opponent who had such confidence in him for a long time. He was looking forward to this opponent's next response.

The two were in a stalemate in front of the abandoned cold palace. The two were equally capable and both found out the other's true identity.

The little eunuch accidentally kicked the incense stick from Li Junyi's waist into the air. Li Junyi felt nervous when he saw this and hurriedly distanced himself from the little eunuch.

The little eunuch was kicked in the chest. Seeing that Li Junyi cared so much about the sachet, he smiled evilly and finally caught Li Junyi's weakness.

He quickly stepped forward and wanted to snatch the sachet before Li Junyi could get it.

Li Junyi made another sweep. The little eunuch made fists and crossed them in front of his chest to resist Li Junyi's attack.

A sachet fell from his sleeve, falling together with the sachet that fell from the air.

The two of them were extremely frightened when they saw this scene.

This sachet seems to be very important to both of them.

The two were forced to fight at close range. After burning the incense, they both took back their respective sachets.

When the emperor in the palace heard that Li Junyi had not left, he sent people to report the situation. Everyone said they had never seen Li Junyi, so he sent people to check every corner of the palace.

The soldiers in the palace heard the sound of fighting when passing by the cold palace, and rushed over without stopping.

Seeing that his situation was not good, the little eunuch said before leaving: "You are lucky! I will spare your life today!"

This man's escape route perfectly avoided the patrolling soldiers, so he must be someone from the palace.

"My lord, are you okay?" The soldiers who came to see him didn't know what was going on. They only saw the back of the little eunuch escaping in a hurry.

Looking at the traces of fighting on the ground, everyone took a deep breath and held their breath.

Li Junyi put the sachet on his waist before the soldiers arrived, turned around and left.

Looking at Li Junyi's back, these soldiers could not guess his mood at the moment.

The news of the assassination of the Prince Regent in the palace quickly spread throughout the palace.

Cining Palace

The Queen Mother was so angry that the muscles on her face were trembling: "What do the guards in this palace do for a living? The people outside the palace were killed, and the people guarding the city gates and government offices still have no explanation! Even the guards in the palace have no answer. If it all doesn’t work, the prince will be in danger even in the palace, will it be the Ai family’s turn next!”

Seeing the furious Queen Mother, the maids and eunuchs in the room lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word.

Looking at this scene, the Queen Mother was so angry that her teeth itched.

"Follow the Ai family to see the emperor!"

The Queen Mother left Cining Palace in anger and went straight to the imperial study.

On the way, he met the empress who was also going to the royal study.

"Mother." The Queen bowed down and saluted.

The Queen Mother was anxious to see the Emperor and said coldly: "No need."

Hearing the Queen Mother's tone, the Queen Mother knew that the Queen Mother was going to the Emperor to ask questions.

"Your Majesty, do you want to go to the Imperial Study Room?" the maid next to me asked.

Originally, she went to see the emperor because of the massacre in Kyoto, but now that the queen mother has taken action, all she can do is seek scolding.

"No, go back to the palace." (End of chapter)
