Since Li Yongnian had already spoken, Li Shiliu, who knew the seriousness of the matter, naturally did not dare to delay any longer and ordered the coachman in front to go directly to the palace.

In order to save time, the driver understood the situation and raised the whip in his hand and hit the horse's butt hard.

The horse, in pain, couldn't help but raise its head and neigh, then it spread its hooves and ran towards the direction of the palace as if it was familiar with the route.

…………

"Girl Li, you said you have something important to report?"

Emperor Jiade had just changed into his pajamas and was preparing to take a nap when he was called up by Li Chengen as soon as he lay down on the dragon bed.

Emperor Jiade knew that although Li Shiliu was a shameless little scoundrel like her father, she was never vague when it came to business. Now that she knew that I had gone to bed, she still insisted on waking me up. There must be something urgent.

Emperor Jiade was a good emperor who worked hard and loved his people. He quickly put on a dragon robe and headed towards the imperial study.

In the imperial study, Li Shiliu and Li Yongnian had been waiting for a while.

"Girl Li, what urgent matter is there that makes you dare to disturb my rest?

If it was just a trivial matter, I would punish you severely.

Well, who is kneeling next to you?

I think the figure seems familiar, he should be a young man from Jianguo's family, did you bring him into the palace?"

Li Shiliu, who was kneeling on the ground, stood up with a smile and replied to Emperor Jiade.

"Your Majesty, may you be blessed with good health. I, your humble servant, pay my respects to you.

Today, I used the badge given by my master to rush into the palace rashly. I really have something very important and urgent to report to the emperor."

"Go ahead."

"Your Majesty, according to reliable information, the governor of Jialing City was killed a few months ago. The entire family was wiped out, not a single one was left alive."

Li Shiliu's words stunned Emperor Jiade, who said, "This is impossible.

If this is such a big thing, how come I don't know anything about it?

Are all the officials in the court just there to eat and do nothing?

The governor of an important border town died, but not even a splash was made. Not a single civil or military official in the court knew about it?

What about his immediate boss?

Was their entire family also wiped out?

Otherwise, how could there be no news at all? "

"Your Majesty, I just received the news and immediately rushed to the palace.

Let Mr. Li, who brought back the news, tell the emperor the specific details.

Emperor Jiade then turned his gaze to Li Yongnian who had been kneeling beside him.

The emperor felt that the young man kneeling on the ground looked familiar, and he must have met him before. He said, "Raise your head. Who are you?"

After seeing who looked up, Emperor Jiade raised his eyebrows and called out, "Li Yongnian.

He is personally trained by old man Li to be the next head of the century-old Li family.

The number one young master in Yuanjing City 20 years ago.

It’s been many years since we last met…”

After revealing Li Yongnian's identity in one breath, Emperor Jiade walked back and forth in the not-so-large imperial study twice, then put the bracelet on his wrist, turned around and sat back on his dragon throne. While habitually fiddling with the oily and shiny Hetian jade beads on the bracelet, he looked at Li Yongnian who was kneeling upright in front of him with an inquiring look.

"Stand up and speak, Li Yongnian. Tell me everything you know. I want to see who is so bold as to kill an official of the imperial court and keep the news secret so strictly."
