Chapter 115 The Imperial Guards are dispatched and Emperor Tai’an takes action!
Tianqi Imperial Palace, Pingqing Hall.
Xiao Chongjing sat on the dragon throne, next to him was Zhuoqing, the head of the five major supervisors, and King Jingyu Xiao Ruojin stood beside him.
At this time, Qing Wang Xiao Xie was kneeling on the ground and howling:
"Father, Father! That night, I was just an inch away from having my head smashed into pulp by that traitor Ye Dingzhi!"
"If it weren't for the great eunuch Zhuo Sen who risked his life to save you, you would have been sending your son to his grave by now!"
"Father, it's been three days. Why haven't you sent anyone to my ninth brother's house to capture that traitor?"
"Father...Ye Dingzhi dared to assassinate me today. I don't know if he will break into the Forbidden Palace and harm you tomorrow!"
King Qing knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face, and spoke at the top of his lungs.
Emperor Tai'an, sitting on the dragon throne, rubbed the agate ring on his finger, and a big knot appeared between his eyebrows.
"I know... Ye Dingzhi is a traitor! I will send him to the guillotine sooner or later!"
"Zhuoqing, what did Shadow Sect leader Yi Bu say in his reply?"
Zhuo Qing, who was waiting on the side, responded:
"Your Majesty, Yi Bu said that the Shadow Clan has sent people to block the Jingyu Palace from inside and outside, but..."
Xiao Chongjing's face darkened:
"Just what? Tell me now!"
Zhuoqing: "But the concubine Yi Wenjun, who was not married to Prince Jingyu, is still in the palace. Yi Bu said that he was afraid that the traitor Ye Ding would be desperate and hold Yi Wenjun hostage!"
Xiao Chongjing turned to look at Zhuoqing, his tone stern:
"Useless! Yi Bu is in charge of the Shadow Sect. Isn't his chief disciple Luo Qingyang guarding Yi Wenjun?"
"Didn't Zhuosen say that Ye Dingzhi also suffered serious internal injuries? I just don't believe that Luo Qingyang can't deal with a seriously injured Ye Dingzhi?"
"Could it be that the Shadow Sect is intentionally protecting this traitor named Ye?"
King Qing, who was kneeling on the ground, quickly agreed upon hearing this:
"Father, you are wise. It must be that Shadow Sect's leader is protecting the traitor Ye Dingzhi! Father, please quickly issue an order to investigate the Shadow Sect's Yi Bu. If it's too late, I'm afraid the traitor will escape from Tianqi!"
Xiao Chongjing glanced at the listless Qing Wang on the ground and said with some annoyance:
"Are all the people in your house just for show? Dozens of guards and warriors can't do anything to Ye Dingzhi?"
"If we had captured him that night, how could we have allowed him to break into the Third Brother's mansion?"
Xiao Ruojin leaned forward and said:
"Father, please calm down. It was my negligence. I was usually busy with my work and neglected management, which gave Ye Dingzhi an opportunity to take advantage of me!"
Xiao Chongjing took a look and then asked:
"I heard that you, the princess who has not yet married, were engaged to that traitor Ye Dingzhi when you were young?"
"I guess that maybe the two of them still have feelings for each other, so Yi Wenjun would protect Ye Dingzhi. Otherwise, Luo Qingyang has always been by her side, how could he let Ye Dingzhi live freely until now?"
Xiao Ruojin looked embarrassed and stammered, not knowing how to respond.
Xiao Chongjing stood up and paced in the hall, then stopped in front of Xiao Xie, staring at him and said:
"Second brother, I promise you that I will definitely catch Ye Dingzhi, but you have to remember this lesson in the future!"
"Don't embarrass our Xiao royal family again!"
The Green King kowtowed repeatedly:
"Please rest assured, Father. I will definitely live up to your expectations in the future!"
Xiao Chongjing returned to his seat, and after a moment's silence, he waved his hand and said to Xiao Ruojin and Xiao Xie:
"You guys please leave, I will handle this matter on my own!"
Xiao Ruojin and Xiao Xie leaned forward at the same time:
"My son, please retire!"
After the two princes left the palace, Xiao Chongjing asked with some worry:
"Zhuoqing, Li Changsheng accepted the sons of my two sworn brothers as his last disciples. If I attack Ye Dingzhi now, do you think Li Changsheng will just sit back and watch?"
After thinking for a moment, Zhuoqing replied gloomily:
"Your Majesty, I believe that if Li Changsheng takes action, it will be exactly what we want! He is a mere warrior who has repeatedly disregarded the court. Your Majesty is benevolent and lenient towards others."
"I don't care about his opinion. This time Ye Dingzhi committed the heinous crime of assassinating the prince. If Li Changsheng still rescues Ye Dingzhi..."
"Then we will charge him with treason and get rid of him as soon as possible!"
After saying that, Zhuoqing stretched out his hand in front of his neck and made a killing gesture.
After listening to this, Xiao Chongjing nodded with satisfaction:
"Zhuoqing, you've said everything I wanted to say. Haha, it's said that only you can be my chief eunuch!"
"Zhuo Sen has been seriously injured. You are to personally supervise this matter and send three thousand imperial guards to surround Prince Jingyu's mansion..."
"By the way, summon Li Changsheng to the palace. I want to see what he can do if you arrest Ye Dingzhi in front of him."
"I'm going to the Imperial Observatory. I'm going to ask the Imperial Master to come and help. You go down and arrange for the Ministry of War to set up three lines of defense in the Forbidden Palace.
"After leaving the Pingqing Palace, you are the first, the Imperial Master is the second, and the Imperial Palace Master is the third!"
"Catch Ye Dingzhi and return to the palace as soon as possible. I am still counting on you to protect me..."
If Li Changsheng dares to disobey, he will not be allowed to leave the Forbidden Palace!"
Zhuoqing leaned forward and bowed deeply:
"As you command, I'll do it right away!"
……
Jingyu Palace.
Ye Dingzhi screamed and Wen Yanzhao pulled his ears until they hurt:
"Cousin, cousin...let me go and listen to me..."
Wen Yanzhao pulled Ye Dingzhi's ear and walked out of the palace. At this moment, Yi Wenjun's face turned red because of what Wen Yanzhao had just said!
"You stop!"
Yi Wenjun shouted angrily, staring at Wen Yanzhao with hatred in her peach blossom eyes.
Wen Yanzhao put Ye Dingzhi down and turned around:
"What? Is something wrong?"
Yi Wenjun took a step forward, his voice trembling a little, but his expression was firm:
"You just said... I will ruin Brother Yun's reputation and end up killing himself? Where did you get that from?!"
"If you don't explain clearly, you won't be able to leave this door today!"
Wen Yanzhao stared at the beauty in front of him with burning eyes, and then asked:
"Before I answer your question, I want to ask you a question!"
Yi Wenjun raised his head:
"Speaking!"
Wen Yanzhao had no expression on his face:
"Do you really love Ye Dingzhi, or do you want to use him to help you escape from the Jingyu Palace where you are imprisoned?"
"answer me!"
Upon hearing this, Yi Wenjun trembled all over, hesitating for a long time, and finally replied with a guilty conscience:
"I... I love him, but if he loves me too, isn't it reasonable for him to take me to travel around the world?"
Wen Yanzhao snorted coldly, then pulled Ye Dingzhi and walked out of the palace without looking back.
"Wait a minute, cousin!"
Ye Dingzhi broke free from Wen Yanzhao's hand, ran towards Yi Wenjun, and hugged her:
"Wenjun, I will definitely take you out of this cage, you must believe me!"
Tears welled up in Yi Wenjun's eyes and she hugged Ye Dingzhi tightly.
Luo Qingyang, who was standing aside, felt as if a jar of vinegar had been overturned in his heart, sour and sour that he had to turn his head away.
Wen Yanzhao looked helplessly at the two people hugging each other, shook his head and sighed:
"Alas... Even a hero can't resist the temptation of beauty. I'm afraid I can't reverse this cause and effect! Li Changsheng, no matter how much you plan, the person involved doesn't have the final say!"
At this moment, a servant rushed in from outside the garden in a panic, clasped his fists towards Luo Qingyang and said:
"It's bad, Senior Brother, outside the palace... outside is surrounded by the imperial guards, and the leader is..."
Luo Qingyang frowned:
"Imperial Guards? Who is the leader?"
"It's the Grand Supervisor Zhuoqing!"
