Chapter 521 Joy of Life 77
"Cough cough..." Emperor Qing coughed a few times, forced a smile, and comforted himself, "It's okay, it's okay, we'll succeed sooner or later."
The palace servants serving in the room were terrified by the sudden turn of events and rushed over to protect the emperor in a panic.
Emperor Qing's ears were ringing from the explosion. He waved to the people rushing towards him, indicating that they didn't need to be too nervous.
The explosion not only turned Emperor Qing's face black, but also ruined his good mood.
Whether it was due to the explosion or not, Emperor Qing, who had already washed and changed, suddenly felt his right eyelid twitching and felt inexplicably restless.
"Is something about to happen?"
Emperor Qing did nothing for once, but sat on the couch in a daze, slowly sipping a cup of hot tea, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart.
Although the true energy in this world is transformed from the surrounding nuclear radiation, at the Grandmaster level, the power is simply too heaven-defying, and one's words and actions can easily influence the heavens and earth.
And whenever a major event is about to happen, even if they are unaware of it, the universe will give them some hints in the dark.
Emperor Qing closed his eyes, carefully sensing the flow of internal energy and the changes in the surrounding environment, trying to find out where the restlessness in his heart came from.
Just then, a soft footstep sound came from outside the door.
Then a palace attendant cautiously entered and whispered, "Your Majesty, Ye Wan, the garrison commander of the capital, says he has important matters to discuss with you."
Emperor Qing frowned slightly, slowly opened his eyes, and stared at the little eunuch below. He vaguely understood that the anxiety in his heart was most likely related to the matter that Ye Wan was about to report.
"pass."
"According to the order."
Ye Wan is only in his early twenties, a time of youthful vigor, but the years of experience on the frontier have made him much more mature and sharper than his peers.
However, just because he came from a military background doesn't mean he wasn't smart.
After seeing Lin Ruofu and Eunuch Hou being chased, he rescued them but did not ask them what had happened, nor did he investigate further. He simply took them back to the city and sent them to the Imperial Hospital for treatment.
He himself went to Xingqing Palace and reported what he had seen to Emperor Qing.
In broad daylight, the current prime minister, Lin Ruofu, and the chief eunuch, Hou, were being chased and assassinated?!
Even the usually impassive Emperor Qing couldn't help but show surprise at this, thinking he had misheard: "Lin Ruofu and Eunuch Hou were being chased? Where were they being chased? And who were they?"
That's what they said, but Emperor Qing already had a vague idea in his mind.
He instructed Eunuch Hou and Lin Ruofu to go to the Imperial Estate to pick up Lin Wan'er. Now that she has been suddenly assassinated, it is highly likely that Li Yunrui was behind it.
But why would Li Yunrui want to kill the two of them so ruthlessly, and in such a blatant way?
Could it be that the two of them have learned some secret about Li Yunrui?
Or perhaps when you arrived at Huangzhuang, you saw something you shouldn't have seen?
So what exactly is going on? What is Li Yunrui secretly plotting?
Thinking of this, Emperor Qing's face darkened, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Ye Wan, unaware of Emperor Qing's thoughts, continued to report respectfully with his head bowed: "Your Majesty, a murder occurred today at the gambling den in the west of the city. After committing the crime, the suspect fled the city in a panic, and I led troops in pursuit. Unexpectedly, near the Princess's estate, we happened to encounter Prime Minister Lin and Eunuch Hou, who were being chased. Seeing that they were seriously injured, I feared for their safety and had no choice but to bring them back to the city for treatment before rushing here to report to Your Majesty. I have not yet had time to find out who committed the crime."
Emperor Qing's face grew increasingly grim. He slammed his teacup down on the table with a dull thud and asked in a deep voice, "Where is the assassin now?"
"Your Majesty, the assassin is now under strict surveillance."
"Strictly interrogate them!" Emperor Qing uttered two words in a cold tone.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Ye Wan accepted the order without hesitation and withdrew.
Emperor Qing, his face frosty, personally went to the Imperial Hospital, surrounded by palace servants.
Lin Ruofu and Eunuch Hou were too badly injured, and even with the best efforts of the imperial physicians, they could not be saved. They were only kept alive by medicine.
Now that they know about such a huge scandal in the royal family, the two feel they cannot escape death.
Since that's the case, I might as well tell Emperor Qing about the Crown Prince and the Eldest Princess; that would be a way of avenging myself.
So the two of them forced themselves to meet Emperor Qing and told him everything they had seen.
Lin Ruofu still had a son and a daughter, and with this vulnerability, he had to think things through more thoroughly.
Once he exposes the affair between Li Chengqian and Li Yunrui, even if he dies today, Emperor Qing will surely resent him.
Especially Lin Wan'er.
After all, Lin Wan'er was in the imperial estate at the time. Even if she didn't know about the affair between the two adulterers, she would inevitably be suspected by Emperor Qing in the future.
