Hide And Cultivate In The East Palace, Only To Find The Prince Is A Girl - Chapter 884: The Empress Threatens

Chapter 884: The Empress Threatens

In the main hall.

“Guess what he’s here for this time?” The Xia Emperor asked with a mocking expression.

Combined with the previous two times, Zhang Ronghua would always bring a “surprise” every time he came.

“The second fire!” Wei Shang laughed.

“Sly.”

” Someone reported that Qing Lin took Ding Yi out after the morning court session. When he came back, he ordered Chang Qing to guard the Vermilion Bird Gate. They should have found evidence of the crime, but they don’t know who it is!”

” Bai Yichang?” The Xia Emperor’s stern eyes flashed with wisdom.” The beating in the morning court should have something to do with Bai Yichang.”

“Your Majesty is wise!” Wei Shang flattered without leaving a trace.

The door was pushed open.

Zhang Ronghua walked in from outside. The lingering fragrance in the hall was very strong. He walked up and bowed.” Greetings, Your Majesty!”

“Yes.” The Xia Emperor casually replied.

“I have investigated that Bai Yichang of the Imperial Censorate was involved in Pang Youshan’s case. The evidence is conclusive, but he does not trust the Supreme Court. He is afraid that the news will be leaked, so he asked for an edict from His Majesty.”

The Xia Emperor laughed inwardly, but he didn’t show it. His domineering voice rang out once more.” Correct!”

“I will take my leave!”

Waiting for him to leave.

The Xia Emperor stopped pretending. He smiled.” The first fire was very strong. Let’s see how the second fire goes.”

“Qinglin has never disappointed His Majesty!” Wei Shang said.

Thinking of Ming Fei.

The Xia Emperor rubbed his head in pain. His eyes were sharp and pointed straight at the heart.” The harem is so big. Who can I trust?”

Wei Shang was silent, unable to reply.

It had been a long time since the Emperor had gone to Jiuhua Hall. It was not only Ming Fei’s place, but also Ningxin Hall and the other palaces. After that incident, he had kept himself clean while searching for a cure and secretly investigating.

As strong as the Absolute Beginning Demon God was, he was almost omnipotent. However, it involved such a secretive matter. After such a long time, there was still no clue. They could not even find the source.

Unless they were allowed to lie down properly, and then a brilliant doctor was allowed to examine them one by one, it might be enough.

First, they couldn’t. Their identities were extraordinary. If they really did this, not only would they not be able to find any clues, but the Imperial Palace would definitely be in chaos. The forces behind them would also exert their strength, and the imperial court would also be in chaos.

Secondly, the Xia Emperor would lose all his face and become a laughingstock.

Thirdly, everyone was not easy to deal with. They would not sit still and wait for death. If they really did something in the dark, would they leave any clues?

The Xia Emperor spoke again. His voice was cold and cold, but now it was filled with killing intent.” Could it be that he was testing us?”

” Everyone is a suspect,” Wei Shang said after some thought.” I don’t dare to jump to conclusions without any evidence.”

“How is the training of the shadow?”

” I’m improving quickly, but it’s not enough. I need time to grow.”

“Zhen can wait!”

” With their help,” Wei Shang said,” when His Highness ascends the throne, Xia will be as stable as Mount Tai.”

“Not enough! If we don’t get rid of these guys, they will always be a thorn in our side!” After a pause, the Xia Emperor asked.

“We’ve dragged this out for so long. If this drags on any longer, someone will jump out in the imperial court.”

“Unless you have a good excuse,” Wei Shang said.

The Xia Emperor shook his head. We can only delay for now.”

..

He left the royal study.

After receiving the confirmation, Zhang Ronghua led a battalion of Human Emperor Guards and rushed towards the Imperial Censorate. He then ordered someone to send a message to Ding Yi, asking him to bring the people here. Such a huge commotion spread like a gust of wind in the inner and outer palaces.

Cai ‘er stood on the palace path, as if she had been waiting for a long time. She was the Empress’ personal palace maid, and this was the only way to the Imperial Censorate.

Looking at the formation in front of him, a look of surprise flashed in the corner of his eyes. He suppressed his surprise and walked forward.” Pass on the Empress’s orders. She orders you to go over now!”

Zhang Ronghua’s face tensed up, and his enormous official authority spread out. Coupled with his unique temperament, a single glance was enough to make one’s heart tremble. With a cold glance, he was always by the Empress ‘side, and the pressure was even heavier. Logically speaking, Cai’ er should have some immunity, but now, her heart panicked, and she couldn’t bear it, instinctively taking two steps back.

Zhang Ronghua came back to his senses. Before he could speak, he said coldly,” I am on a mission under His Majesty’s orders. I am sorry but I cannot comply!”

Cai ‘er’s expression was very cold. She didn’t even dare to listen to the Empress’ words. The scene before her eyes was within the Empress ‘expectations, as if she knew that he would refuse. She deliberately handed the Phoenix Token to her, and took out the item. It was a purple-gold token, half the size of a palm, with two small characters’ Phoenix ‘engraved on the front and a phoenix drawn on the back. It was lifelike, as if it was alive. Fiery red light circulated, covering the token.

It was the same as the True Dragon Token, but also different.

In the same place, the privileges of the Phoenix Token were the same as the former, but in different places, there were several True Dragon Tokens. Zhang Ronghua and Ding Yi had one, and Su Qiutang had another, but there was only one Phoenix Token!

” What?” His aura changed. He was cold and unyielding.” Seeing the Phoenix Token is like seeing the Empress herself. You want to disobey?”

Zhang Ronghua was unmoved.” I am following His Majesty’s orders. I will go over after I am done here. As for now, get out of my way!”

He waved his hand.

“Fork her to the side!”

Two Human Emperor Guards rushed forward roughly, each grabbing an arm and forcefully lifting her up to the side.

Cai ‘er didn’t dare to resist. The Human Emperor Guards represented His Majesty, but her eyes were even colder.

“Let’s go!” Zhang Ronghua shouted.

He quickened his pace and rushed towards the Imperial Censorate.

His doubts grew. First, it was Concubine Ming, and now it was the Empress. Bai Yichang was one of them? After some deduction, was Du Chengming also one of them?
