Tyrant Reborn

Chapter 073: People's hearts

Zhong Rong, who heard my will, came with a large number of imperial guards. Except for the one protecting me, the rest of the people were searching for the shadow bit by bit. I stood under the light and squinted. squint.

Peixiu stood next to me and didn't dare to speak. Except for the sound of the guards walking carefully, there was no sound from the audience.

This forest is actually not big, but there are many places where people can hide, because the forest is surrounded by rockery, the rockery is rugged, easy to hide people, but no matter how easy it is, it can be found.

Sure enough, when the imperial guards searched the rockery near the water, the three people in front wailed, and then fell to the ground and died with bleeding between their eyebrows.Then a black shadow flashed by the side of the rockery. When the imperial guards were stunned by the three people who died suddenly, I said: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and chase them?"

Zhong Rong hurriedly sent people to chase after him, but he led dozens of people around me, afraid that there would be another dark figure that would scare me. I stood aside and looked at this palace that was still majestic in the dark. The direction of the person's escape will definitely pass through Xifeng Hall and Jiaotai Hall.

Thinking of this, I raised my eyebrows and looked at Zhong Rong and said: "Send someone to check on the maids, eunuchs and guards who are not in the room tonight, and let me check them bit by bit." Zhong Rong hurriedly responded and gave orders.Only then did I step up and follow the imperial guards, Peixiu whispered beside me: "Long Live Lord, this thief came here very strangely, I'm afraid there will be bombs, Long Live Lord, why don't you go back first."

"There are so many people around me, are you still afraid of this?" After hearing Peixiu's words, I glanced at him lazily, and then continued to walk forward. After walking two steps, the imperial guards came to me and said: "Qizou the emperor, that person is gone..."

"Missing?" I looked at this person and asked, "Where did I disappear?"

The man looked up at me with a evasive expression, I snorted coldly and said, "Presumptuous. Say it."

"Go back to the emperor...Weichen and others saw that person entered the back wall of Xifeng Palace." The guard said intermittently. When I heard the word Xifeng Palace, my heart turned cold, and then I flung my sleeves and left.

When we got to Xifeng Palace, Xifeng Palace was surrounded by imperial guards, and they confronted the maids and eunuchs in the palace, among them, Xiaotao, the chief maid of Xifeng Palace, said righteously: "You are presumptuous, Don’t even look at where this place is? This is the bedroom of the imperial concubine. You said that the men in black came here to search, but they have a reputation. If not, go back. Such actions are slandering the empress Reputation, isn't it cowardly."

After hearing those words, the imperial guards standing there hesitated, but they didn't leave. This is the end of being unfavorable. If it was before, these guards would have left long ago after hearing Xiaotao's words.

Seeing that Xiaotao was still determined to give up, I walked forward slowly, looked at Zhong Rong and said, "Take someone in to search, take your time one place at a time, don't get left behind."

Seeing me, Xiaotao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has already rested."

"Presumptuous." I looked at her and said lazily: "Assassins have entered the palace, why don't you go and serve Aifei to get up, what's the point of standing here to block the imperial guards? If Aifei has something, I want you head. What are you all doing blankly, didn’t you hear what I said? Search.”

Under the light, Xiao Tao's face became extremely ugly, and then she hurriedly backed away, and I walked into the Palace of Resting Phoenixes.

When I went, Xue Ruyu was coming out of the bedroom, she was taken aback when she saw me, then looked at me suspiciously and said: "Your Majesty, this is it?"

"Assassins entered the palace, and I happened to see them. They said they fled to your yard. I was afraid that you might be in danger, so I came to take a look." I looked at her and said calmly.

Xue Ruyu snorted.Eyebrows drooping slightly, unable to see the expression inside, I stepped forward to support her, walked into the outer hall with her, and then watched the crowd search every inch of gold and earth.

All the courtyards and rooms were lit with torches. The eunuchs and maids in Xifeng Hall stood in the same courtyard. I sat there without speaking, watching everything in front of me quietly, feeling a little excited in my heart.

About half an hour later, everyone stepped forward and asked for orders: "Qizou the emperor, no one has been found."

"Have you checked anywhere?" I said flatly.

Those people fell silent, Zhong Rong took a step forward and said: "Qizou the emperor, except for the bedroom of the concubine, I have checked everywhere else."

After his words fell, I was silent for a while, and then looked at Xue Ruyu, who knelt in front of me and said with some shame and indignation: "Your Majesty..."

It is natural to say shame and indignation, no matter what, she is mine, and these guards are men, entering her bedroom, from a certain point of view, it ruined her innocence.

However, even so, some things have to be done.

So I stepped forward to help her up, and said gently: "My dear concubine, don't panic. If I didn't see the thief with my own eyes, I don't have to worry so much. If that person entered this courtyard, if he really hid in your room, I'm afraid something will happen." Something happened, if you make a mistake because of this, wouldn’t it make me worry? Let them check it out. If there is no one, I will be at ease. If my concubine feels uncomfortable living here because of this, I can rearrange the place for you. "

Xue Ruyu's expression froze after hearing my words, and then got up.

I glanced at Zhong Rong, and after receiving the order, Zhong Rong got up and led the people forward in person.

Not long after Zhong Rong got up, the people who went to check the palace on duty came back to report. They said that there were 11 people who were not in the palace at this time, two palace ladies, two inner guards, and one person who was in our palace. Chen Jianguang, the eunuch serving in the palace, was gone.

Hearing Chen Jianguang's words, I couldn't help raising my eyebrows, Xue Ruyu beside me moved slightly, I pursed my lips and said with a smile: "This is really strange, but when he was on duty, there was no one there, maybe he thinks this palace is the place he should be?" Wherever you come, where you should go?"

When I laughed like this, Xue Ruyu was a little uneasy, and then sat there calm as water, I looked at Zhong Rong and said: "Don't let the wind leak, you immediately take people to track down the whereabouts of the thief, and then invite third brother to enter the palace."

Zhong Rong led the way and left, while I sat there without speaking.

Not long after, the imperial guards who went to check Xue Ruyu's bedroom came out, saying that no one was found.

"This is even more strange. Could it be that my eyes are dazzled?" Hearing the result, I smiled and looked at the humanity below.

Several people hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, I looked at them with my chin in my hand, and said: "The concubine's bedroom is already the most hidden place here, could it be that the thief has the skill of flying into the sky and escaping from the ground, so he escaped? I'll ask you again , Just now you chased the shadow, you really chased it here, weren't you dazzled?"

The people below hurriedly said: "I dare not lie to the emperor, people do disappear here. As for why there is no one, I... I don't know."

"I don't know, that's a good excuse." I said calmly, looked at Xue Ruyu and said, "My concubine, it's not safe here, I'll stay here with you today."

Xue Ruyu turned pale when she heard this, and then I ordered someone to bring up the four court ladies and inner guards who were going to have an affair.

I slowly interrogated them and listened to their stories. One pair said that Hua Qianyue made a pledge of eternal love and begged me to spare them a life. According to the palace rules, I only want to die so that the master I serve will not be hurt.”

I listened, looked at them, and then, the front pair was at the waist, and the back pair was a glass of poisoned wine.

The difference between loyalty is being able to leave a whole body behind.

In this way, I sat in Xifeng Hall for another half an hour.

For half an hour, I leaned quietly on the sandalwood table, resting my chin in my hands and closing my eyes. Just when I was comfortable and almost fell asleep, there was a noise from outside, saying that Zhong Rong had returned.

I let him in, and Zhong Rong knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Yu has already entered the palace, and Xue's family has been surrounded according to the emperor's orders, but the old thief Xue Qing, I have searched the entire mansion and found nothing." see..."

After hearing Zhong Rong's words, Xue Ruyu stood up abruptly, with a snow-white face, looked at me in disbelief and said, "Your Majesty... what's going on here? Why do you want to arrest members of the Xue family?"

Why do you want to arrest the members of the Xue family?After hearing this, I raised my eyes to look at her, then laughed out loud, and finally I looked at her and said, "What do you think? Concubine Ai."

"Your Majesty, if there is no reason, how will the people of the world view the Emperor? How will the Emperor explain to the Empress? Your Majesty..." After finishing speaking, Xue Ruyu knelt down, and Lihua looked at me with rain.

I looked at her coldly and said: "My mother is sleeping well tonight, I will report these things to her tomorrow." Xue Ruyu turned pale after hearing what I said.

I looked back at Zhong Rong coldly and said, "Xue Qing ran away?"

Zhong Rong shook his body, looked at me and said: "The emperor forgives my incompetence and failed to catch this thief."

After hearing what he said, I frowned, Xue Qing ran away, where is he now?I feel a little depressed because of this.

Zhong Rong said again at this moment: "Your Majesty, I have sealed off the four gates of the city, and the thief will definitely not be able to escape."

I hummed lightly and stopped talking.

Xue Ruyu suddenly cried behind me: "Your Majesty, why is this?"
