Chapter 192 Kneeling down to Walk down

The whole of Yan Capital was on alert because of the water running from the imperial study and the robbery of the prison of the ministry of justice. In contrast to those officials who were in trouble at the back of the house, they were placed at the back of the line. No matter how anxious they were, they did not dare to disperse their forces to protect their families at this time.

Inside the palace, Yun Wansheng stood outside the imperial study, his nose filled with the smell of smoke from the fire, and his originally upright facial features were all dark. The servant in close proximity wished he could not lie on the ground to avoid being angered.

"Your majesty, this was found in the imperial study." Hooke, the head of the Imperial Guard, came forward and respectfully presented a dart, a note and a sachet to Yun Wansheng.

Yun Wansheng grabbed the note and almost spat out blood when he saw the words on it.

It was written in small, elegant letters: I heard that you had been sleeping and eating hard for more than ten years, so I came here to share my worries.

Signed by xiang shuai, Yun Wansheng knew that many of the ministers'mansions in Capital City had been stolen, and that xiang shuai, who had never been seen before, was actually the work of a gang of thieves, but the wealth of those officials was so much that no one dared to report to them. Yun Wansheng could only let people investigate secretly. Who would have thought that he would be humiliated like this before he could get a clue?

The fragrance from the sachet reached his nose, masking some of the smell after the fire. The smell of waking up made Yun Wansheng's anger soar.

"I asked you to be the head of the Imperial Guard. Is that how you repay me for my kindness? Today you burn the imperial study, tomorrow..." Yun Wansheng shuddered. Ever since he sat on the dragon chair, he was more and more afraid of death. He could not even say anything inauspicious.

Hooke quickly knelt down to plead guilty, not to mention that he had just read the note, or he would have been beheaded.

"I beg your majesty to punish me for my incompetence." Hooke pleaded sincerely. As Yun Wansheng's confidant, he knew that Yun Wansheng hated those who begged for mercy the most.

"Since you know your crime, don't go to investigate thoroughly! I don't care what method you use. If you can't find any useful clues within three days, I'll take your head off!" Yun Wansheng angrily glanced at the imperial study, which was still smoking.

As an emperor, he was beaten in the face to the door of his house. Yun Wansheng's anger could be imagined.

Hooke lifted his hand to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead. His mind responded to the words on the note, and his whole back was filled with cold air. This case was too difficult. Whether or not he found any clues, he couldn't escape a death sentence, could he? Didn't the emperor leave without even giving him a clue?

Yun Wansheng went straight to Pepper House, and Ji Ruyun came up with a worried face. Although their relationship had long been estranged, they were still in a state of prosperity.

"I heard something happened in the palace, but did you catch the assassin?" Ji Ruyun frowned slightly and sounded anxious.

Looking at Ji Ruyun, Yun Wansheng snorted coldly and strode into the inner room, not giving Ji Ruyun any face at all.

Gritting his teeth in anger, Ji Ruyun turned around and followed, but there was a little resentment against Yun Wansheng in his heart.

"Look at this, queen." Patting the note on the table, Yun Wansheng did not look at Ji Ruyun.

"Yes." Ji Ruyun was confused. Yun Wansheng's usual taboo was that she was in politics, afraid that Ji Ruyun wanted to be the queen. Today's behavior was really strange.

But when ji ruyun finished reading the note, his face could not help but turn pale. If he did not hold the table beside him, he would not even have the strength to stand still.

Seeing ji ruyun's complexion complicated, Yun Wansheng sneered, "It seems that my queen already knows who the assassin is. I just don't know what the queen wants me to do with this assassin."

Ji Ruyun, who was paralyzed in his chair, apparently did not hear Yun Wansheng's words. He gripped the table with both hands and was speechless for a long time.

Is he back?

The past was like a fast-forward movie, replaying it in Ji Ruyun's mind. The innocent boy who would laugh whenever he saw him always liked to call his sister by her side, and even hoped that she would live in the palace...

After the fire thirteen years ago, she lived in the palace as she wished and became the most honorable woman in the world. She was no longer the proud daughter of heaven, but the mother of the country who wanted to share her husband with many women. However, the kind-hearted relatives in the palace could only exist in her memory, and she did not even dare to incense them.

Taking a deep breath, Ji Ruyun's knuckles, which were holding onto the railing, turned white. "What should we do? He's back. How could he be back?"

Is he here for revenge?

She looked at Ji Ruyun with disdain. Yun Wansheng looked down on a woman who could be betrayed by her parents and brothers. If Ji Ruyun didn't have to live, Yun Wansheng would have disowned her.

"The queen had better think about whether he should stay in this world, whether it is our crown prince or our brother who has long been abandoned!" With a cold snort, Yun Wansheng threw off his sleeves and left without caring about Ji Ruyun at all.

A bright yellow light flashed in front of her eyes, and when the servant's greetings rang in her ears, Ji Ruyun came back to his senses and smiled bitterly with tears in his eyes, "I chose my own path, and I have to go down on my knees. Do I have any room for regret?"

Rubbing the phoenix tail embroidered on his sleeve, Ji Ruyun hid the pain in his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, there was only coldness left.

She was also the blood of the royal family and the noble princess. Why couldn't she sit on the throne and her son become the next king?

Su Mianyue and Su Yu did not know what they were doing or what they were thinking, but they could guess what they were thinking. The most important thing for them at the moment was to arrange a place for everyone to hide and find the best opportunity to leave the city.

However, no matter how the officers and soldiers searched, they did not expect that Su Mianyue and the others were hiding in the cai family. However, most of them were hiding in the newly dug passageway that led directly to the secret room of Mr. Cai's gold deposit. Only Su Mianyue and Su Yu were sitting leisurely in old master cai's concubine's room drinking tea and eating cakes.

"Although this Mr. Cai is a little too greedy, he is filial to his father. At such an old age, he can still have so many beautiful concubines." Su Mianyue snorted and looked at the woman who was making tea for them with pity in her eyes.

A girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, but she had to serve a bad old man who was ready to be buried at any time. She wanted to know the pain and humiliation in her heart.

"They should settle down and leave after a short rest." Su Yu picked up a cup of tea and did not take up the topic of su mianyue. After all, the reality was so ironic. Women were born beautiful but had no backstage.

Su Mianyue did not bother with this topic. He looked at the woman's flowing movements, and even though it was pleasing to his eyes, his eyes changed, "Yan Capital is not bustling enough. While we are still here, we must always do what we can to make the people happy and compensate them for the shock and harassment they have suffered in the past few days."

"What does Yue mean?" Su Yu raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of affection.

"We..." Su Mianyue spoke in a low voice about her plans and was very happy to be able to bring people under control. However, she did not know how tempting her actions were to su yu.

Rulan's breath floated by his ears, and the fragrance of a young girl was at the tip of his nose. Su Mianyue's hair hanging by his ear was even more stimulating to Su Yu's senses. It tickled him so much that he almost lost his self-control and trapped Su Mianyue in his arms, feeling the beauty that belonged to her.

Not knowing what Su Yu was thinking, after Su Mianyue finished speaking, he even threw a wink at su liang and giggled, telling Su Yu that he wished that time would never stop at this moment, to accompany her smiling face.
