Chapter 438 Breaking into the Palace at Night
A hint of sarcasm flashed across the black-clothed man's eyes, but he concealed it so well that the Emperor of the Western Regions did not notice it at all.
"I have failed to do my job well, please punish me, my lord."
"What's the point of saying these empty words? The most important thing right now is to find the person!" He dared to be so unscrupulous in his palace, simply not taking him seriously. The most important thing was that after mobilizing so many people, they couldn't even catch the shadow of the thief. If this matter were to spread, they would become the laughing stock of the entire Western Regions, and people from other countries would also laugh at them when they knew about it.
"If you can't find it, bring your head to me!"
"Yes, I obey your command." After he finished speaking, his figure disappeared.
The palace was in chaos, and there was no peace outside the palace either. When the King of the City heard that something had happened in the palace, he could probably guess that it was his precious daughter who did it.
"Are you sure you heard that the assassin was injured?"
"Your Highness, it is absolutely true. I am waiting outside the palace. Although the emperor and the assassins around him spoke in low voices, I heard most of them. The assassins did injure the assassin and smelled blood."
Upon hearing this, the King of the City could no longer hold back, and picked up his sword and was about to walk out.
Just then, Jun Zeqian walked in: "Father, what are you doing?"
"Zuoyi is injured."
"what?"
Jun Zeqian looked at the guard: "What's going on?"
The guard repeated what he had seen and heard. Jun Zeqian's pupils shrank slightly. It seemed that Ruoyi was really injured by that assassin.
"The emperor hasn't found out anything about her yet. If he really suspects her, I'm afraid she won't be able to handle it." The King of City said seriously, "You are the junior and cannot contradict him, but I'm not afraid of him. If he really forces me into a corner, I can do anything." After he finished speaking, he walked out with his sword in hand.
After learning that Shang Ruoyi might be injured, Jun Zeqian knew that if the injured person was really her, today's incident would definitely not end well.
When the two arrived at the palace gate, they were stopped outside.
"Your Majesty, the palace gates are closed. If you have anything to say, please come back tomorrow!"
"Get out of here." The City King said coldly.
"Your Highness." Before he could finish, the City King raised his foot and kicked him: "If I want to enter the palace, the palace gate must be open even in the middle of the night."
The soldier at the city gate was kicked several meters away by him, spit out a mouthful of blood, and fainted on the ground the next moment. It can be seen that he really used force.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this.
Although the King of the City had a bad temper, he had never done anything out of line, and breaking into the palace at night was unprecedented.
They looked at each other, and the two guards hurried into the palace.
The rest of the guards dealt with them at the palace gate.
The two guards came to the door of the imperial study panting, and were stopped by several imperial guards.
"Why are you guys here instead of guarding the palace gate?"
"Oh no! Oh no!" they said anxiously, "The City King! The City King is beating people at the palace gate!"
what?
King of the city?
How could the City King break into the palace at night?
They hurriedly delivered the news to the imperial study.
Upon hearing this, the Western Region Emperor, who was already in a very bad mood, smashed the teacup on the table into pieces: "Rebellion! Rebellion! Is Jun Ke going to rebel?"
"I don't know what happened. The prince was furious and started fighting over a disagreement."
Humph, what else could it be? It must be because of his good daughter.
Thinking of Shang Ruoyi, the Emperor of the Western Regions narrowed his eyes slightly. Shang Ruoyi was Shangnian’s concubine’s daughter and the Crown Prince’s Consort of the Ding Kingdom’s Palace.
He really didn't expect that his daughter was so capable.
The Crown Prince's Consort of Prince Ding's Palace!
There are many rumors about the Crown Prince's Consort of Prince Ding's Palace.
Ever since the Ding Palace was exiled, they have been paying attention to Tianshun's movements. They naturally know what the Ding Palace did in the place of exile.
The reason why Dingguo Palace is what it is today is all thanks to He Jingheng's Crown Prince Consort.
No wonder when he heard the name Shang Ruoyi, he felt it sounded familiar and just now he remembered where he had heard it.
"Your Majesty, what should we do about the prince?"
"Let him in."
"Yes."
Soon, the King of City and Jun Zeqian arrived at the imperial study.
As soon as he came in, his eyes fell on the broken porcelain pieces on the ground.
Both of them knew where the broken porcelain pieces came from, but no one pointed it out.
"I see you, Your Majesty."
"Humph." The Western Region Emperor sneered, "I can't afford the gift from you two, father and son."
Upon hearing this, the City King stood up and sneered, "What can't the emperor do? He detained my daughter in the palace without even an explanation. Is there anything else that the emperor can't do?"
"How dare you!" He slapped the table and said, "Jun Ke, am I too lenient on weekdays, so I let you and your son be ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth! How dare you contradict me? You are disobedient!"
"Disobedience?" The King of the City said angrily, "I am loyal to the emperor. I have fought for the Western Regions and never complained. I think I have never done anything against my conscience. How does the emperor treat me? Ruoyi was just found. She is the daughter I have been looking for for more than ten years. In order to force Aqian to lead the army to attack Tianshun, my brother held her hostage in the palace. I would like to ask my brother, is this how you treat the descendants of loyal ministers? Aren't you afraid of chilling my heart?" He looked at the Emperor of the Western Regions steadily: "Or, are you forcing me to declare war on you?"
Hearing him say this, the Emperor of the Western Regions was shocked.
He had not expected that his brother, who had always been loyal to him, would go to such lengths for the sake of a daughter. Now that he was still needed in the Western Regions, it was not the best time to get rid of him.
"That's not what I meant." He whispered, "Do you know the origin of your daughter?"
"Brother Huang, what do you mean by this?"
"She is Shangnian's concubine, and that Shang family has fallen, so there is nothing to fear. But her other identity is that she is the Crown Prince's Consort of the Crown Prince of Tianshun Dingguo Palace. Do you know that?"
The King of the City and his son were speechless. They were naturally aware of this.
"As for He Jingheng, I believe you know him better than I do. He is the biggest threat to our Western Regions. Your daughter is his Crown Prince's Consort. How can I feel at ease with you?" The Western Region Emperor waved his hand and said, "I think it is most appropriate for her to live in the palace. I heard that He Jingheng is very concerned about his Crown Prince's Consort. Maybe he will give up the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun for your daughter's sake. We can take the Tianshun Fortress without wasting a single soldier."
Is their Majesty dreaming?
Will He Jingheng exchange the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun for it?
If Yunqi Yuntian and the others heard this, they would probably laugh out loud.
