"It is my dereliction of duty, Your Majesty, I beg you to punish me!"
As the Grand Commander,
Everything inside the palace was under his protection.
If a palace maid can disappear today, what about tomorrow?
Are we waiting for someone to infiltrate the emperor's inner circle someday?
Did the emperor also disappear without a trace?
Li Yunrui quietly curled the corners of her mouth, without saying a word.
Emperor Qing glanced at her indifferently and said coldly:
"Alright, Gong Dian, you may leave!"
After Gong Dian left,
Li Yunrui asked with a smile:
"Does Your Majesty wish to inquire about my relationship with Lady Han?"
"You still want to ask me where Ms. Han is now?"
"If Your Majesty asks, I will answer to the best of my knowledge."
Emperor Qing looked somewhat tired and asked softly, "Aren't you tired?"
Acting all day long,
Is it interesting?
"If His Majesty isn't tired, then I certainly can't afford to be tired!"
Li Yunrui smiled slightly.
at this time,
Eunuch Hou came in from outside.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has arrived."
"Announce!"
Subsequently,
Li Chengqian then walked in.
She calmly exchanged a glance with Li Yunrui.
He then bowed slightly and asked, "May I ask what Your Majesty has summoned me for?"
Li Chengqian straightened up.
He gazed at Emperor Qing with a calm expression.
There was no trace of the fear he had shown back then.
Emperor Qing gazed intently at the somewhat unfamiliar Crown Prince before him.
"Tell me, where did you put those palace maids?"
A look of surprise appeared on Li Chengqian's face.
"Palace maid? What palace maid?"
At this moment, Emperor Qing frowned.
An invisible force slammed towards Li Chengqian.
However, Li Chengqian remained calm and showed no reaction.
"Today, all the palace maids who went out have disappeared, and Lady Han, who arranged this matter in the palace, has also vanished without a trace. Does the Crown Prince not know?"
Li Chengqian angrily said:
"Who has such audacity?"
"Your Majesty asked me this, are you implying that you suspect I did it?"
Emperor Qing watched Li Chengqian's performance silently.
He then called Gong Dian in.
"Gong Dian, why don't you tell the Crown Prince your predictions from today?"
At this moment, Gong Dian was sweating profusely and knelt on the ground again.
In front of the Crown Prince, he said it was the Eastern Palace he suspected?
However, since Emperor Qing had spoken, he had no choice but to say it.
"I suspect that it is the Crown Prince who is using the palace maids to tarnish the reputation of others!"
Li Chengqian smiled dismissively.
"Is there any evidence?"
"No, just a suspicion."
Hearing this,
Li Chengqian strode forward and drew the sword from Gong Dian's waist.
"As the Grand Commander, how can you slander the Crown Prince without any evidence!"
"You have a way to die!"
finished,
Li Chengqian suddenly swung his sword.
They then ordered that Gong Dian be executed on the spot.
Even though he used the strength of an ordinary person, Gong Dian, an eighth-rank expert, dared not move at all.
"stop!"
crucial moment,
Emperor Qing finally couldn't hold back and shouted out loud.
This prevented a potential massacre.
Emperor Qing never expected that...
The Crown Prince's behavior was surprisingly violent.
Faced with his slight probing,
How could someone kill someone right in front of him without a word?
Suddenly, Emperor Qing felt a headache coming on.
He looked deeply at Li Chengqian and said:
"Guards, this palace official has committed insubordination. Drag him out and give him fifty strokes of the cane."
"As for the disappearance of the palace maid, I will investigate and clear the Crown Prince's name!"
Li Chengqian threw down his sword.
He cupped his hands and smiled, saying, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Now that Emperor Qing has yielded, there is no need for him to kill Gong Dian.
As for the investigation,
Emperor Qing was simply still very curious about the forces under his command.
However, to find traces of the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven),
All I can say is, you're dreaming!
aside,
Li Yunrui watched this scene.
His eyes shone brightly.
If the occasion hadn't been inappropriate, she probably would have already thrown herself into Li Chengqian's arms.
Over the years,
When has she ever seen Emperor Qing lose a fight?
An unprecedented sense of exhilaration spread through her heart.
Emperor Qing looked at the two people in front of him.
Each one is more stubborn than the last.
I lost all interest in talking; just looking at them annoyed me.
That's enough for today, you may all leave!
Li Chengqian and Li Yunrui then bowed and took their leave.
In the long corridor,
Li Chengqian and Li Yunrui walked side by side.
"Thank you so much this time."
Li Yunrui said softly.
Li Chengqian smiled slightly, "Aunt, what are you saying? We are one, why be so formal?"
Li Yunrui was somewhat worried.
But at the same time, it was also a tentative question:
"His Majesty wants the inner court to investigate. Aren't you worried?"
After all, although the palace maids were sent by her,
But why the palace maids disappeared remains unknown.
