Hide And Cultivate In The East Palace, Only To Find The Prince Is A Girl - Chapter 889: The Empress Threatened

Chapter 889: The Empress Threatened

” Rumor has it that Zhang Ronghua was protected by people from the Fate Academy. However, our people have investigated and found that there seems to be no one protecting him. However, it doesn’t make sense. With the Emperor’s high regard for him, it’s impossible for him to leave him alone. If Yang Hongling didn’t send anyone to protect him, the person protecting him should be His Majesty’s people. From the situation of other forces acting some time ago, the person hiding in the dark must have a very high cultivation level. That’s why he could hide from our people.”

He changed his tone and continued.

” His parents and uncle should be protected by the Absolute Beginning Demon God. I can deduce that this person should be the same.”

The Empress stretched out two fingers and knocked on the bed board, making a ” dong dong ” sound. Cold light flashed in her phoenix eyes as she said with killing intent,” If it can’t be used by us, then destroy it. No one can get it!”

“No one in the capital can touch him!” Su Qiutang shook her head.

It was as if she was suffocating in her heart. The Empress almost could not breathe. She was so unhappy with a small figure and had nowhere to vent. One could imagine how uncomfortable she was.

“Why does Ming Fei want to see Your Majesty?”

” Our people can’t sneak into places like the Nourishment Palace and the royal study.”

The Empress frowned.” I suspect that the Sui Family has something to do with them.”

” You’re reliable?” Su Qiutang’s expression turned serious.” You’re reliable?”

“Intuition!”

“I’ll get someone to investigate!”

“There’s still no news of the Phoenix clan?”

“Yes.” Su Qiutang nodded.

” I’m afraid something has happened to Shimin. We can’t let this go on. Send down the order to get rid of him!”

“Good!”

..

He left the Tranquil Heart Palace.

From the Empress ‘tone, Zhang Ronghua could guess that there was a serious conflict between her and the Crown Prince. He just didn’t know what it was.

He returned to the Imperial Censorate.

Ding Yi had already returned and quickly went up to him.

He took out an account book and handed it over.

Zhang Ronghua took it and read it carefully. The things recorded were shocking. It was even more serious than what Bai Yichang had said. After reading it once, he put it into the Five Dragon Spirit Controlling Belt and called out,” Let’s go!”

He led the Human Emperor Guards and rushed towards the First Division.

First Division.

Zhao Yueliang sat at the head of the table while his trusted aide, Li Mao, waited respectfully at the side. There was a watermelon on the table. It was cut into cubes and placed on a plate. He leisurely picked up a wooden skewer and inserted a piece into it. He ate it unhurriedly.” I thought Bai Yichang was a big shot before, but now I see that he can’t even beat Zhang Ronghua. He’s just so-so.”

Li Mao was panicking. On the surface, he was Zhao Yueliang’s man, but in reality, he was Bai Yichang’s man. Now that the latter had been captured and detained in the Fourth Division, he had not even been sent to the Ministry of Justice’s prison. With such a huge commotion, even Su Qiutang had been alerted, and he was afraid that he would be in trouble. He was afraid that he would expose himself, but he could not panic. If Zhao Yueliang saw through him, it would only be worse. He was disappointed that he did not live up to his expectations. He cursed in sympathy,” Trash!”

Zhao Yueliang didn’t think too much about it, nor would he have guessed that his man had been bribed by someone else and had even handed over evidence of his crime. He continued,” Two fires in a row have burned so brightly. Even if the third fire is left unburned, Zhang Ronghua’s reputation will reach its peak. The structure of the Imperial Censorate will change in the future.”

She paused for a moment and finished the watermelon in her mouth.

” In the court tomorrow, the various factions will come to an agreement and arrange for their own people to join. Zhang Ronghua’s faction will once again rise.”

“What should we do?” asked Li Mao.

” I’ve already told them to take a break for a while. We’ll look at it after Zhang Ronghua is transferred away.”

Bang!

The door of the hall was pushed open, and a person ran in in a panic. His expression was urgent, as if the sky had collapsed. He did not even have time to catch his breath. He hurriedly said,” Something big has happened to my lord!” Zhang Ronghua brought…brought people here.”

Li Mao panicked, and his spirit seemed to have been sucked away in an instant. His legs went weak, and he fell to the ground on his butt. He was so scared that his lips turned white.

Zhao Yueliang was not happy. His face tensed up as he scolded,” Is he that scary? Why are you so scared?” Hurry up and get up!”

“Yes…” Li Mao trembled as he got up.

He looked at the crowd outside. It was huge and the scene was huge. With Zhang Ronghua as the leader, Ding Yi, Han Zhenggang, Jin Yaoguang, and dozens of Human Sovereign Guards had arrived.

Zhao Yueliang was very calm. They had nothing to do with each other, and he wasn’t afraid of being implicated. He picked up a piece of watermelon with a wooden stick and asked with interest,” This watermelon is not bad. It’s watery and sweet. Do you want to try it, Censor Zhang?”

Li Maoyou was suspicious. He subconsciously lowered his head and hid behind him.

Zhang Ronghua stepped forward and picked up a wooden stick again. He stuck a piece of watermelon into it and ate it.” I don’t have the habit of using second-hand things.”

He smiled playfully.

“It’s indeed not bad. It’s quite sweet.”

“Get someone to send a few over later,” Zhao Yueliang said.

“You have no chance.”

The atmosphere froze.

“What do you mean?” Zhao Yueliang narrowed his eyes.

“Take him down!” Zhang Ronghua waved his hands and ordered.

Six Human Sovereign Guards rushed forward. Two of them were holding a person. Zhao Yueliang’s hand was grabbed and his head was pressed against the table. He shouted angrily,” Zhang Ronghua, what do you want?”

He walked over.

Zhang Ronghua sat down on the chair he had been sitting on.” Take the others out and lock down the First Division. Don’t let anyone go!” he ordered while eating.

“Yes, sir!” The military marquis accepted the order.

When the door closed.

Only his people were left in the hall.

Zhao Yueliang was forced to kneel on the ground by the two Human Emperor Guards. He struggled violently. This bit of strength was not even comparable to a little lamb in front of them. His eyes were spitting fire.” What crime have I committed?”

“You go and interrogate Li Mao.” Zhang Ronghua didn’t answer.

Han Zhenggang accepted the order and left.

Zhao Yueliang panicked. At this moment, he had guessed that the problem should be with Li Mao. However, he still couldn’t understand. No matter how stupid Li Mao was, he wouldn’t treat his life as a joke unless he was tired of living too long. Otherwise, when the truth was revealed, he would also be in trouble.

“You still want to give me melons?” Zhang Ronghua teased.

Zhao Yueliang was silent.

“Let me tell you something. Li Mao is Bai Yichang’s man.”

Boom!

It was as if he had been struck by lightning. He understood everything he didn’t understand. No wonder Zhang Ronghua dared to bring people here. From this point of view, Bai Yichang had already spoken.

Li Mao had followed him for so many years and knew a lot of things. If he betrayed him, the consequences would be unimaginable. Zhao Yueliang’s expression changed drastically, and he panicked.

“Have a taste?” Zhang Ronghua held a wooden skewer and stuck a piece of watermelon into it.

Without waiting for him to speak, she ate the melon in one bite.

” I’ve already gathered enough evidence. If it’s serious, I can kill three families. If it’s light, I’ll only kill your family. You’re a smart person, so you should know what to choose.”

Zhao Yueliang’s thoughts spun quickly as he pondered whether his words were true or false.

Zhang Ronghua seemed to have guessed what he was thinking. He took out the account book and threw it on the ground.

He was not afraid of being torn apart or destroyed. It was not that he looked down on him, but no one could do it in front of him!

The Human Emperor Guards retracted their palms and glared at him. If Zhao Yueliang dared to move, they would immediately suppress him and protect the account book.

Zhao Yueliang reached out with a trembling hand and picked up the account book from the ground. He looked at it seriously. The more he looked at it, the colder his heart became. After reading it once, Zhao Yueliang obediently handed the account book over. His face was ashen. He was finished just based on the things recorded on it!

“What do you want to know?” she asked hopefully.

He subconsciously used honorifics.

“Everything!” Zhang Ronghua replied.

Zhao Yueliang explained everything in detail. From him to the ordinary imperial censors and the people of the First Division, almost everyone had participated. The profits were divided according to their status. Everyone made a lot of money, forming a profit chain. Now that the ship was broken from the inside, everyone on the ship would suffer. No one would be spared.

Except for the First Division.

The person in charge of the Supreme Court was called Pang Bing, and the person from the Ministry of Justice was called Ji Minghui. They were all lower-grade third-grade officials with high positions and power. The three of them worked together and managed to accomplish this matter.

After listening.

Zhang Ronghua was shocked. The officialdom was about to be shaken. Tomorrow’s morning court session would be as noisy as a dog. There was no other reason than that so many people had been taken down. Who knew how many people would want to take over the empty positions?

“There’s more?”
