Dajin Imperial Palace, Chui Gong Hall.
There were several circles of guards from the Imperial City Division standing tightly outside the palace gate. They were all wearing armor and crossbows, holding long knives, and they were on guard with tense expressions.
The atmosphere inside and outside the hall was very solemn.
"Your Majesty, the King of Liang has an audience."
Suddenly, the high eunuch Sheng Changchun's high-pitched but powerful voice came from the door.
"Xuan!" Emperor Jin, who was behind the case, called with a cold voice and his eyes were cold.
Soon, an old man wearing a black python robe and a black jade gold crown walked in with steady steps.
Although his face was full of wrinkles, he showed no sign of old age. He was tall and strong, and his dark face was covered with dense whiskers, like a clump of trampled weeds.
This person is none other than one of the Four Pillars of the Four Kingdoms, King Jiang Boheng of Lao Liang.
"Old minister, I see your Majesty." Old Liang Wang bowed slightly, his tone was gentle, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Uncle Qi is exempt from the gift."
Emperor Jin quickly raised his hand and asked:
"Is there any harvest?"
The old king of Liang shook his head slightly: "No, that woman is quite strange. She actually has the ability to teleport. If she hadn't sensed the golden dart that hit her, I would have thought she was just using some kind of blinding method."
Emperor Jin said solemnly: "Uncle Qi, have you ever seen the assassin's true face?"
The old King Liang still shook his head: "The old minister was far away when he took action, and he only had time to save King Kang's retainer. However, judging from the dissipation of the golden dart, she was hiding near the palace, probably in the palace."
Hearing this, a trace of gloom flashed across Emperor Jin's brows, and he slowly stood up from behind the dragon case and walked along the path:
"I have arranged for the Imperial City Department and the Forbidden Army to search with all their strength. However, since the woman has the teleportation technique, will she have left long ago?"
The old Liang Wang thought about it for a while, thinking of the woman's extremely weird ability, and he was not sure for a moment:
"It's not impossible. Because of the ruthlessness with which he attacked Yunchen, it was most likely a vendetta. If he succeeded, he would probably run away."
"Lao Liu's methods are usually too violent, and he may offend some desperadoes."
The Emperor of Jin knew that King Kang had a cruel temperament. He had beaten him several times. Unexpectedly, King Kang still kicked the iron plate. However, thinking of the tragic death of his prince, he still felt furious:
"In our Imperial City of Jin Dynasty, someone actually dares to take revenge with such cruel means! This is truly an unforgivable crime!!"
"Your Majesty, calm down, the dragon body is important."
When the great eunuch Sheng Changchun saw that the Jin Emperor's eyes were full of blood red, he was afraid that he might cause a secret disease, so he quickly bowed and advised:
"Since this demon girl was severely injured by His Highness Prince Liang, I guess she won't be able to run very far. Commander Meng is already searching for her with all her strength. I think she will be captured soon."
After hearing this, Emperor Jin calmed down a little and thought that he didn't know who did it. He quickly asked the eunuch Sheng Changchun who was handling the matter:
"How is the situation with Prince Kang's retainer?"
Speaking of this, Sheng Changchun immediately showed a puzzled expression and replied respectfully:
"All the best doctors in the palace have gone to see him. All the internal and external injuries have been cured. But the strange thing is... he still hasn't woken up. I'm afraid I have to ask Dr. Bai to take a look."
"Then take my instructions and ask Mr. Bai to go and have a look. No matter what, try to get him to tell who did it!"
"Well, I'll give you my orders right now."
At this moment, Luo Xun, the chief minister of the cabinet, who was working on the memorial at his desk, suddenly stood up and walked to the front of the hall, bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
"speak!"
Luo Xun saw Emperor Jin's chest rising and falling, obviously very angry, and he hesitated.
Emperor Jin saw his uneasy mood and waved his hands indifferently: "It doesn't matter, just tell me if you have something to say. It will make me even more angry than my son being quartered!"
Chief Assistant Luo Xun gritted his teeth secretly, then bowed and presented the memorial in his hand, saying worriedly:
"Mr. Wang Yinsheng, the doctor in the Ministry of Rites, wrote a bloody remonstrance to impeach King Yu. The old minister doesn't know how to give instructions, so he asked His Highness to read it."
Emperor Jin received the memorial in confusion: "Wang Yinsheng? He hadn't left the palace a few hours ago, so why did he get into trouble with King Yu?"
After saying that, he opened the memorial, and a breath of blood hit his face, and the blood-red writing on the document was filled with blood.
This blood-blooded remonstrance was full of passionate and angry words, angrily blaming King Jiang Yunde for threatening his grandfather with his life and causing his grandfather, the contemporary great Confucian King Yongzhi, to slander the King of Qin, which was unbecoming of an act, causing him to be ridiculed by everyone. .
The more Emperor Jin looked down, the more ugly his face became.
"Asshole!!!"
Bang! Then there was a loud noise, and he suddenly slapped the memorial table to the side of him. The table table made of rosewood could not withstand his angry slap and immediately fell into pieces.
"Okay! Very good!"
"This idiot can't hold up the wall! He is so narrow-minded and extremely stupid!!"
"Give Prince Yu to me...cough cough...cough cough cough..."
Jin Huang was so angry that he was trembling all over and his cheeks were red. Halfway through his words, he suddenly started coughing violently, staggered back unsteadily, and then fell straight back.
"His Majesty!"
The old King of Liang had quick eyes and quick hands. He quickly stepped forward to support Jin Huang. Seeing the gray blood stains running around in his body, he quickly used magic to input gold spiritual seeds to help stabilize his meridians.
"His Majesty!!"
At this time, the great eunuch Sheng Changchun had just finished giving orders and walked into the hall. Upon seeing this, he rushed over. Seeing that Emperor Jin was breathing rapidly and covered with gray mist, he quickly exclaimed:
"Hurry up and announce the imperial doctor!"
The old Liang Wang raised his eyebrows and said: "The imperial doctor is of no use, go and ask for Bai Suzi! I'll hold on steady first."
"Okay, old slave, let's go now!" Sheng Changchun turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait!"
However, the old Liang Wang suddenly stopped shouting and pouted towards the door of the palace, "Close the door and call Commander Meng back to escort him!"
"good!"
Sheng Changchun understood immediately, walked out quickly and gave instructions to the guards of the Imperial City Department at the door, then left at a very fast speed, leaving behind a series of afterimages.
…
Su Mansion, main hall.
At this time, the door was closed tightly, and everyone in the Su family outside the hall looked worried and restless.
In the hall, there were only four people, Jiang Yunzhou, Chu Xiaoqing, Su Luo and Meng Liang.
"So, according to what the girl said, you were taken to the palace garden by King Kang, and you just chatted for a few words before leaving. What did you talk about?" Meng Lianghu asked.
"We have an engagement, so it's just a matter of long-lasting love between children..."
Su Luo's face was rosy. He lowered his head and fiddled with the corners of his clothes. He was quite shy. Suddenly he seemed to have thought of something and suddenly raised his head with a nervous look on his face:
"The commander is so cautious. Could it be that something happened? When my daughter saw the imperial army in the city, they said they were searching for some assassin. Is it related to King Kang? Is my future husband okay?"
Jiang Yunzhou was stunned when he saw her looking like this. What an acting skill!
Su Luo's anxious and pitiful expression made Meng Liang feel guilty. How could he doubt that such a delicate little woman, whose energy and spiritual realm was very low, could be an assassin.
However, he still followed the principle of rigor and continued to ask:
"It's okay. I'm just asking for a routine question. There's no need to worry about Miss Su. However, Miss Su left early. How could she come back at this point? Or should these two send her back?"
"I……"
Su Luo was about to reply, but Chu Xiaoqing took over the conversation and said with a smile:
"The commander-in-chief doesn't know that there is an elegant gathering in the mansion today. My daughter thought that she and Sister Su will both be the wives of the royal family in the future, so she should walk around in advance, so she invited her to come to the mansion as a guest. Unexpectedly, she got along very well with her, and she forgot the time while chatting. Seeing that it was getting late, I took the initiative to send my sister back, just in time to be with..."
As she spoke, she glanced at Jiang Yunzhou shyly with her beautiful eyes, a look of disgust on her face, and between biting her red lips, there was a thrilling charm that made Jiang Yunzhou's heart beat fast, and even Meng Liang felt the same. Stunned.
"Ahem——"
He coughed lightly, turned to look at Jiang Yunzhou and said, "The general has sealed the palace. I'm afraid His Highness King Qin escaped over the wall."
Jiang Yunzhou touched his head and smiled awkwardly: "Ah...haha, um...I want to have an appointment with a beautiful lady, so I really shouldn't break my promise, so...I ask for your understanding, Commander-in-Chief, and don't go to my father to complain."
Meng Liang laughed, shook his head and said:
"Miss Chu is so beautiful. I can understand His Highness's state of mind. But now is a special period. Your Highness should not do these forbidden things, for fear of getting into big trouble. Let's forget it this time, but there can be no next time!"
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, for being so accommodating. There will never be a next time!" Jiang Yunzhou stood up, bowed his thanks, and solemnly promised.
Dong dong dong——
At this moment, there was a sudden and urgent knock on the door.
