The emperor's eyes suddenly narrowed, staring closely at the 'assassin' in front of him, his shock even more terrifying.
"T-Prince?" The guards standing close to the emperor couldn't help but exclaimed because they were too surprised.
Who would have thought that the person who entered the palace to assassinate and stole the Jade Blood Spirit Pearl was actually the prince?
"What's going on?" The emperor asked sharply, still staring at the dying prince.
Obviously, he was asking those dead soldiers. Because at this moment, the prince obviously could not answer.
It is really incredible that the prince appears here.
"Back to the emperor, my subordinates heard some movement in the main hall, so they brought people in to check. They saw two thieves stealing the Jade Blood Spirit Pearl. Both thieves were wearing night clothes and fully armed. The subordinates ordered them to be arrested.
They stayed with them, but later help came, but this person should be one of the first to enter the hall."
The dead man was stunned for a moment, then replied in a low voice.
However, even he was a little unsure at this moment, after all, it was too dark in the hall at that time.
At that time, someone rushed in first and rescued one of the thieves, and then several more people came.
So, it became a melee later, but the person they caught now should be one of the two people who entered the hall first. The clothes were the same.
However, there was some confusion at the time and he was not completely sure.
"You mean, someone else entered the palace just now?" The emperor's face became more and more gloomy. This matter is really getting more and more complicated.
"Yes. My subordinates were incompetent and allowed them to escape. It was my fault that I neglected my duty. I allowed myself to be dealt with by the emperor." The dead soldier lowered his head, his voice heavy and slightly trembling.
Even if you are a dead soldier, you are still a human being after all, and you are still afraid of death.
"Whose body is the Jade Blood Spirit Pearl?" The emperor was most concerned about the whereabouts of the Jade Blood Spirit Pearl at the moment.
"Back to the Emperor, it should be with the thief who escaped first. I believe that as long as we find him, we will be able to get back the Jade Blood Pearl. That person should not know martial arts, and he is slightly smaller. He should
She is a woman." The dead man replied carefully.
"Hmph, it seems that I have raised you all in vain. I can't even catch a woman who doesn't know martial arts." The emperor snorted coldly, with a hint of ruthlessness in his coldness.
Their mission is to protect the Jade Blood Spirit Pearl. Now that the Jade Blood Spirit Pearl is lost, there is only one fate for them.
"If you can't find the Jade Blood Spirit Pearl, you will know the consequences." The emperor's eyes swept across the few dead soldiers who were still alive, and his cold voice was cruel and ruthless.
When something like this happened, it would be the greatest mercy for him not to kill them immediately.
"My subordinates will definitely retrieve the Jade Blood Spirit Pearl later." The dead soldier was stunned for a moment, obviously a little surprised that the emperor did not deal with them immediately, and there was a firmness in his voice that he had made meritorious service to atone for his sins.
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly retreated and went to look for the assassin.
Just after one of the assassins was rescued, several more people with extremely high martial arts skills came and joined the melee.
They were no match for those few people, and most of their people were quickly killed.
Later, those few quickly retreated. When they wanted to pursue them, they were stopped by the last person they caught, the prince. However, they didn't know that the prince had such good skills?
However, now, the most important thing is to retrieve the Jade Blood Spirit Pearl as soon as possible.
"Concubine Hui." The emperor's cold eyes slowly turned to Concubine Hui. It was obvious that what Concubine Hui just said was somewhat different from what the dead soldier said.
"Your Majesty, there seemed to be another person with Meng Qianxun at that time, but that person was always hidden in the dark. I didn't see it clearly, so I wasn't sure." Concubine Hui's mind was spinning very fast.
Quickly, he said one after another.
"Didn't you say that the person who threatened you was Meng Qianxun? But according to what he said, the two thieves were fully armed at that time. How could Concubine Hui be so sure that that person was Meng Qianxun?" The corner of the emperor's lips curled up.
There was a slight chuckle, and there was a bit more coldness in his voice.
Obviously, Concubine Hui's words cannot withstand scrutiny.
Once you tell a lie, you have to use many, many lies to cover up the lie. There will inevitably be flaws among them.
Concubine Hui's body stiffened slightly, and she suddenly felt numbness in her back. She broke out in a cold sweat, but she tried her best to suppress the tension and fear in her heart, and said again, "I just rely on feeling, a woman's feeling, and
, she also spoke at that time, and I recognized her voice."
"It seems that Concubine Hui was very calm at that time." The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, with a hint of danger in the coldness.
Can a woman still think and reason calmly when she is suddenly restrained by two masked men?
Moreover, Concubine Hui was completely positive from the beginning, saying that Meng Qianxun had held her hostage.
If Meng Qianxun was fully armed at that time, why didn't Concubine Hui explain it before?
Concubine Hui's stiff body trembled slightly. She was a smart person. Naturally, she could tell that the emperor was suspicious of her, and she couldn't help but be frightened in her heart.
The reason she was able to reach this point in the palace was because of the emperor's trust in her. If the emperor didn't believe her, then her future end would be even worse than that of the queen.
She originally thought that since Meng Qianxun had set the trap for her, Meng Qianxun must have quietly followed her to the main hall. When she turned on the trap, he knocked her unconscious from behind while she was not paying attention.
However, she didn't know that Meng Qianxun actually had an accomplice and even disguised herself.
She really couldn't think of anyone in the palace who would help Meng Qianxun, and even help Meng Qianxun do such a thing.
"Your Majesty, what I said is true. I may have been frightened too much tonight. Some things I said were not comprehensive at the moment. However, everything I said is true. How dare I
Swear to God, Your Majesty, you must believe me." Concubine Hui was afraid that the Emperor would doubt her, so she swore to God.
However, if the oath to God was true, people like you, Concubine Hui, would have been hacked to death countless times.
"Can I still believe you?" Although the emperor is usually a little indecisive, he is not stupid. As for ordinary trivial matters, he usually turns a blind eye or closes one eye and gets through it as long as he can, but now it is Jade Blood
The spiritual pearl was stolen.
How could he turn a blind eye to such a serious matter and pretend to be confused?
"Your Majesty, I have been with the Emperor for so many years. In my heart, I only care about the Emperor. I will never do anything to harm the Emperor. Doesn't the Emperor still understand my heart?" Concubine Hui said with a look on her face.
Poor Chu Chu, there was more whimpering in her voice, and she was crying extremely sadly.
I want to use tenderness to influence the emperor.
"Even if I believe you, the Jade Blood Spirit Pearl was lost because of you. This is an unchangeable fact." The emperor saw Concubine Hui crying like she was in tears. At this moment, there was no tenderness at all, and her expression became even colder.
Hearing the emperor's words, Concubine Hui's face instantly turned pale, and there was more despair and fear in her eyes. Listening to the emperor's meaning, no matter what she said, she could not get rid of the relationship.
Unless the Jade Blood Spirit Pearl can be found, it is absolutely impossible for the emperor to forgive her.
Therefore, she must find the Jade Blood Spirit Pearl.
"Your Majesty, according to what the dead man said just now, the Jade Blood Spirit Pearl must be in Meng Qianxun's body. As long as Meng Qianxun is found, the Jade Blood Spirit Pearl can be retrieved, and it can also prove my concubine's innocence."
Concubine Hui remembered the words of the dead soldier just now and gave her suggestions repeatedly.
"Now, where is Meng Qianxun?" The emperor glanced at her, his coldness not lessening, but more sarcastic. Did she think she could catch him just because he said he would catch her?
Now, most of the guards in the palace are looking for assassins, but after so long, there is still no news.
He was afraid that that person had already left the palace with the Jade Blood Spirit Pearl.
"Your Majesty, Meng Qianxun doesn't know martial arts. He couldn't leave the palace so easily. He must still be in the palace." Concubine Hui saw the emperor's coldness towards her and said anxiously again.
"Your Majesty, I found this set of night clothes in the river, but the clothes were all torn to pieces." At exactly this moment, a guard walked into the hall holding a black dress.
"The color and fabric of this dress are exactly the same as what the prince is wearing at the moment, so it must have been worn by Meng Qianxun." Concubine Hui looked at the clothes in the guard's hands and compared them with those on the prince.
, and came to a conclusion.
It's a pity that the current dress is completely torn and the size can't be seen. Otherwise, just by comparing it, you can determine whether it is Meng Qianxun.
At this moment, the emperor and Concubine Hui were standing in the main hall, and there were many guards in the main hall.
But the prince was lying on the ground dying, and no one cared about him.
After all, in this situation, if the emperor doesn't say anything, no one dares to talk or get into trouble.
The prince's breath was obviously getting weaker and weaker, as if he would die at any time.
The emperor's eyes swept over the prince coldly, and when he saw his expression, not only did he not show any sign of mercy, but his face was even more ruthless.
The prince, who was most likely not his son in the first place, now entered the palace to steal the Jade Blood Spirit Pearl. How could the emperor forgive him?
The emperor didn't let anyone deal with the prince at this moment, which is considered a kindness to the prince.
"Where did you find this dress?" After the emperor looked at the prince, he turned to the guard again and asked coldly.
"Back to the emperor, it's in the river, about where the imperial kitchen is." The guard thought for a moment and then replied respectfully.
"Imperial dining room?" The emperor frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something, and then ordered in a cold voice, "Have someone search up from the imperial dining room against the river."
The river is very fast this summer, and the clothes are most likely washed down from the upper reaches, so we can't just have people search around the imperial kitchen.
"Your Majesty, Meng Qianxun's room is also in front of the imperial dining room." Concubine Hui narrowed her eyes and said harshly, "Would that girl find that she can't escape and return to her room? You know?
The most dangerous places are often the safest places."
The emperor's eyes flashed suddenly, and he obviously felt that Concubine Hui's words made some sense, so he ordered in a cold voice, "Go to Gong Shuyuan."
Gong Shuyuan is where the maids who have just entered the palace usually live. Previously, Meng Qianxun was unable to leave the palace due to the prince's affairs, so she was arranged there.
After hearing the emperor's words, the guards rushed forward to clear the way. After all, the situation tonight was special and they had to be very careful to protect the emperor.
Concubine Hui also hurriedly followed the emperor. She knew that she must find the Jade Blood Spirit Pearl at this moment, otherwise she would be completely doomed.
