Chapter 272 The Domineering Princess 25
Ah Zhi shook his head helplessly. At this time, the leader of the imperial guards came out of the palace to ask for a meeting. Those people who were in the Pearl Palace just now had already been handed over to the imperial guards by Ah Zhi.
He must have found out something, so he came to report to Emperor Lingyue in person.
The leader of the imperial guards looked very businesslike and reported all matters to Emperor Lingyue in an orderly manner.
The turmoil in the palace has subsided, but when talking about the origins of these assassins, the leader of the imperial guards couldn't help but pause, which made Emperor Lingyue very suspicious.
Emperor Lingyue asked the leader of the Imperial Guards in a stern voice, "You are hesitating when it comes to the origins of the assassins, but is there any problem with the origins of these assassins?"
The leader of the imperial guards lowered his head and spoke cautiously, "Your Majesty, I have already found out that the assassin came from the East Palace."
Perhaps even the leader of the imperial guards did not expect Yun Ling to be so bold that he actually dared to let assassins enter the palace to commit assassination.
Upon hearing that these assassins came from the East Palace, Emperor Lingyue widened his eyes and said in disbelief.
"Are you sure you didn't make a mistake? Did all the assassins encountered in my bedroom and the princess's Pearl Palace today come from the East Palace? Was this planned by the Crown Prince?"
The leader of the imperial guards lowered his head and replied, "The assassin in your majesty's bedroom fled to the Pearl Palace, but the assassin in the Pearl Palace came from the East Palace."
"These assassins must have prepared drugs to knock out everyone in the Pearl Palace."
He paused here.
"However, I did not find any trace of the assassin. I only found that the assassin entered the Pearl Palace. This group of assassins has been interrogated by me."
"They denied the assassination attempt and only said they were ordered to steal something from the Pearl Palace."
The leader of the imperial guards was telling Emperor Mingyue that Yun Ling was indeed involved in this matter, but these assassins flatly denied assassinating Emperor Lingyue and Azhi.
Emperor Lingyue had a very ugly expression on his face. As an emperor, he could not accept betrayal, especially by his own biological son. He immediately sent someone to call Yun Ling into the palace.
Azhi, who was standing aside, had an expectant look in her eyes, waiting for Yun Ling to enter the palace so that she could watch the show.
This time Yun Ling really couldn't clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River, even if Emperor Lingyue couldn't directly convict Yun Ling.
As long as this knot grows in Emperor Mingyue's heart, sooner or later Ling Yun will be dealt with by Emperor Lingyue.
But now we still need an opportunity. Thinking of this, Ah Zhi lowered his eyes with sarcasm in his eyes.
Emperor Lingyue once again looked at the bloodstains remaining on the ground.
He turned to the leader of the Imperial Guards and asked, "The assassin who tried to kill me has not been found. Let's put this matter aside for now. I am just wondering why a woman who stayed in the cold palace would appear in my bedroom today?"
"She also wanted to assassinate me. This woman was placed by the Queen's side. How much did the Queen participate in this matter?"
Emperor Lingyue's eyes darkened and his voice was cold, "Could it be that the Queen can't wait any longer and wants to get rid of me to make room for the Crown Prince?"
If Queen Zheng really had the courage, she wouldn't be hated so much by Emperor Lingyue.
Queen Zheng didn't have the courage to have anyone assassinate Emperor Lingyue.
The leader of the imperial guards revealed his suspicions about the Emperor Lingyue and revealed what he had investigated.
"This beauty Yuan was indeed released by the Queen, but I don't know why the Queen made such an arrangement."
In fact, Emperor Lingyue really misunderstood Queen Zheng. Concubine Yuan was released just to restore his favor.
Concubine Yuan was a chess piece that Empress Zheng had chosen with great difficulty in order to win the heart of Emperor Lingyue.
Unexpectedly, Ah Zhi sent her to the cold palace with just a few words. Empress Zheng was unwilling to accept this and wanted her to try again today.
As long as she could regain the emperor's favor, everything would be fine, but her luck was too bad.
An assassin just appeared in front of him and scared Emperor Lingyue. He was like a frightened bird at that time.
When he turned around, he saw Concubine Yuan jumping out, and ordered the imperial guards to chop her to death on the spot.
It can only be said that Lady Yuan had very bad luck. At this time, Yun Ling had already been brought before Emperor Lingyue.
As soon as Yun Ling entered the hall, he saw Azhi standing aside. He thought his plan had been exposed, so he forced himself to calm down and knelt down to pay his respects to Emperor Lingyue.
"My son has met my father."
Emperor Lingyue looked at Yun Ling on the ground coldly, with no intention of letting Yun Ling get up.
Finally, Emperor Lingyue said in a cold voice, "Prince, do you know your mistake?"
Yun Ling was not in the palace tonight and did not know what had happened, but looking at the mess in the palace, he probably guessed that his plan had failed.
So he followed his original plan and said, "Father, I know I am wrong, but it is not just my fault."
He looked up at Ah Zhi who was standing beside him and said, "If it weren't for the imperial sister pressing Zhou Linxi step by step, I would never take such a risk."
"Take a risk!"
Emperor Lingyue flew into a rage, and immediately picked up the teacup and threw it at Yun Ling, cursing, "How can there be such an unfilial son as you in this world? How can there be such a brother as you?"
"You actually harbored hatred towards your own sister because of an outsider, and even deliberately sent assassins into the palace to kill me and Yu'er."
Seeing that Emperor Lingyue was about to be angry to death, Ah Zhi hurried forward to calm him down and said, "Father, calm down. Don't get sick because of your brother. I'm fine. Please calm down."
The Emperor Lingyue's anger subsided but he still stared at Yun Ling.
Ah Zhi said without thinking, "Royal brother, this is originally a matter between my sister and Zhou Linxi. My sister gave Zhou Tao a lot of good things, but Zhou Tao didn't appreciate my kindness at all."
"I just asked them to return the things. I won't bother Zhou Linxi anymore. I didn't expect that Zhou Linxi and his sister would destroy the treasure I gave them."
"I had no choice but to make Zhou Linxi sign the IOU. It is only natural to pay back a debt. Why did my brother want to interfere unreasonably?"
At this time, Ah Zhi continued to speak for Emperor Lingyue, "You actually sent assassins to kill my father and me. This really hurts my heart."
Just now, Yun Ling only thought that the theft had been exposed, and he never expected that the matter of the assassin would be involved.
No wonder the palace was in such a mess. At the same time, he was full of confusion, why didn't he get any information about these things?
Yun Ling just stared with his eyes wide open and hadn't come back to his senses yet.
When he came to his senses, he hurriedly said to Emperor Lingyue, "Father, I know nothing about the assassination. I just sent someone to the Pearl Palace."
"It was to get back the thirty thousand taels of gold that Yun Yuyu stole. I don't know why an assassin appeared in the palace."
