"I am here to meet your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, Liu Deng, is here to see you!"
While the two were talking, the emperor had already walked in.
"What happened? I heard that you were assassinated in the palace. Did you suffer any injuries? Is the injury serious?"
Regardless of whether this is to win people's hearts or not, just the emperor's concerned look now warms Liu Deng's heart.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I just suffered some minor injuries on my arm. It's just some skin trauma, it's nothing serious!"
"How do you Jinwu Guards do things? There are actually assassins in the palace. Is there any safe place in this world?"
When he heard Liu Deng calling himself a minister, the emperor's face suddenly turned ugly.
Looking at Yin Ji standing aside and Mo Yu'er being tied up, the emperor's eyes twitched.
He probably heard about it on the way here, but he only heard that Mo Yu'er sneaked into Liu Deng's resting place and stabbed Liu Deng.
He was naturally puzzled about this matter.
Liu Deng drank a lot today. His residence was surrounded by Jinwu Guard soldiers. How did Mo Yuer sneak in?
After she slipped in, she actually stabbed Liu Deng. What was her purpose?
This made the emperor a little strange...
But when he saw that Yin Ji was here and looked panicked, the emperor seemed to have some idea of what was going on.
But now, after all, it is in full public view, and Liu Deng is a meritorious official of the Han Dynasty. Even if it is just a pretense, this matter must be investigated strictly.
"Your Majesty, this matter is really my fault, and I am willing to take the blame!"
Wang Huanzhi knelt directly on the ground. No matter what, he couldn't get away with this crime of oversight at this time.
"Your Majesty, there are more than ten thousand eunuchs and maids in this huge palace. It is really difficult to do everything without leakage. If these brothers from the Jinwu Guards hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid it would have been really difficult for me this time. Escape to death! Please forgive me, Your Majesty, Mr. Wang!"
Liu Deng stepped forward directly, cupped his hands towards the emperor, and begged Wang Huanzhi for mercy.
"Since His Highness is interceding for you, I will give you a chance to atone for your sins. Has the assassin taken advantage of it? Are there still her accomplices in the palace? The palace is strictly forbidden. If there is no internal response, How could she come here?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the assassin has been captured on the spot by His Royal Highness's bodyguards. It is Empress Yin's niece Mo Yu'er..."
Wang Huanzhi said quickly.
"Father! Father! Where is that boy Liu Deng?"
As soon as Wang Huanzhi finished speaking, the eldest princess rushed in before the emperor expressed his position.
Seeing the hurried expression on the eldest princess's face, Liu Deng felt warm in his heart. Until now, he was the only one who supported him unconditionally, as his aunt.
"Don't worry, aunt. As long as it's just a little skin injury, it doesn't matter. The imperial doctor has already seen it!"
Liu Deng hurriedly saluted to the eldest princess. Before the ceremony could be carried out, the eldest princess had already grabbed his hand.
"Who asked you, a little skinny monkey, to salute here? Since your arm is injured, just take care of it honestly. They are all members of your family, so what etiquette should you pay attention to!"
The eldest princess looked at Liu Deng and grimaced in pain, her distressed eyebrows knitted together, and her expression when she looked at Wang Huanzhi suddenly became even more ugly.
"Has the assassin been caught?"
The eldest princess asked again with a cold face.
"Back to Your Highness, the assassin is this Mo, Mo Yu'er..."
Wang Huanzhi originally wanted to say Miss Mo, but when he saw the ugly expression on the eldest princess's face, he quickly changed his words.
"What a bitch who eats everything from food to food. He has been in the palace for so many years and the royal family has entertained you with delicious food and drinks. He actually colluded with the traitors and plotted to assassinate the royal family. What are you waiting for, these wolf-hearted people? Drag me out to feed the dogs. !”
The eldest princess' words immediately frightened Mo Yu'er out of her wits. She had been most afraid of dogs since she was a child, and now she was frightened and cried when she heard that she was being dragged out to feed the dogs!
"Eldest Princess, please calm down. This child, Yu'er, has grown up beside me. She will never do such a thing. I wonder if there is any misunderstanding here!"
Yin Ji could only hope that Liu Deng would have any scruples now, so she had the courage to speak again.
"Misunderstanding? There are so many people guarding outside, how did she get in? Don't tell me that Liu Deng brought her in!"
The eldest princess said disdainfully.
"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, spare your life, I did not assassinate His Highness the King! I did not assassinate His Highness the King!"
Mo Yu'er is really speechless now. At this time, no one will believe anything she says.
The identity difference between Liu Deng and her is too big, not to mention that Liu Deng still has a rare and unrewarded achievement. At this time, no one will believe her.
"You mean, His Highness Daiwang scratched his own arm, and then came to frame you? You'd better explain clearly first, how on earth did you appear here!"
Before Liu Deng could speak, the eldest princess had already retorted directly.
Mo Yu'er was so stupid now, how did she get in!
This is her biggest problem now. Liu Deng's place is heavily guarded. She hid in this side hall beforehand. In order to hide it from the searchers, Yin Ji spent a lot of effort.
Now, if she tells the truth, not only will she die, but Yin Ji will also suffer the same fate as her!
"..."
"How did you get in? Who are your accomplices? Why did you want to assassinate the king?"
The emperor's face was gloomy and he looked at Mo Yu'er coldly.
Facing the emperor's majesty, Mo Yuer was even more at a loss. She could only lie on the ground and kowtow.
"Master Wang, I will leave it to you. No matter who is involved in this matter, I will take them all down! Anyone who dares to stop him will be killed without mercy!"
The emperor's words immediately made Yin Ji's body tremble for no reason.
"promise!"
Wang Huanzhi also responded quickly, and then the soldiers of the Jinwu Guard dragged Mo Yu'er away.
Yin Ji kept winking at Liu Deng, but Liu Deng was completely turning a blind eye.
"Master Wang, I have entrusted this person to you, but you have to keep an eye on me. If this person dies violently in your hands, don't blame me for pursuing him to the end!"
Liu Deng said with a serious face.
Now that Yin Ji stretched out her hand, if she didn't hit her and hurt her, she would really think that she was easy to bully!
It's true that the little girl ran away from the marriage, but if she hadn't run away from the marriage, the two of them would still be strangers now.
If Liu Deng compromises today, then this matter will really become his leverage. Who knows whether Yin Ji will get worse in the future!
The safest way is of course to hit her until she feels fearful and painful, and from then on, she will never dare to provoke him again!
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will handle this matter myself!"
Wang Huanzhi was also a reputable Lord Zhijinwu. Now, in front of the emperor, he was disgraced by a little girl. If he didn't regain his face, he would be so embarrassed that he would be thrown into his grandma's house!
