Chapter 146 Assassinating the Emperor, an Unforgivable Crime

After King Rong left, Yan Donghuang sat quietly at the Imperial Palace, his eyes falling on the unfinished memorial, and he didn't speak for a long time.

When it was getting dark, she got up and walked out. Without driving, she walked towards Linzhi Palace as if strolling in a garden.

After moving to Linzhi Palace for rest, although the Supreme Emperor's condition was not very good, it was significantly improved compared to a year ago.

The palaces of the concubines are all next door, and the older ones occasionally come to sit and chat with the emperor.

The Supreme Emperor, who no longer has the power of killing and conquering, has lost some of the oppressive feeling of accompanying the emperor like a tiger, allowing the concubines to feel a little more relaxed when getting along with him.

However, when Wei Guiren came closer to serve him, he soon discovered that all this was an illusion.

"I heard that King An offended the emperor today and was punished with a cane in court and demoted to a commoner." Guiren Wei knelt down on the large couch and pinched the shoulders of the Supreme Emperor. His dark eyebrows were furrowed and he was worried. "In the past, An The brother-sister relationship between the king and the emperor is so enviable, why did the emperor suddenly... didn't he call someone to ask? "

Guiren Wei was young and beautiful, and good at pleasing people. Emperor Wu Lie liked to serve her very much.

However, upon hearing these words, Emperor Wu Lie's face darkened and he looked at her coldly: "You are quite well informed."

Wei Guiren's expression changed, he stood up and knelt on the ground: "I'm just...just..."

"The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but you got the news faster than me, the Supreme Emperor." Emperor Wu Lie slowly leaned in front of the couch, his eyes stern, "Who told you the news that Prince An was punished?"

The palace servants serving in the palace all shuddered, bowed their heads and knelt down.

Wei Guiren's face turned slightly pale: "I am... I am..."

"I also want to know where the news about Mr. Wei comes from." Yan Donghuang stepped into the palace door and looked at Mr. Wei who was kneeling on the ground. "Are the concubines in the harem so well-informed?"

"See Your Majesty." Everyone in the palace saluted.

Wei Guiren's expression changed and he quickly greeted her.

"Your Excellency Wei is an elder, so there is no need to be polite." Yan Donghuang greeted the Supreme Emperor, then walked to the couch next to him and sat down, "My father just asked you a question. Your Majesty Wei, you might as well tell the truth. Which broken person is it?" The slave with the mouth was so bold that he secretly monitored the previous dynasty and spread it to your ears so quickly? "

Wei Guiren knelt on the ground, his body trembling slightly: "I...I..."

"Say." Emperor Wu Lie shouted.

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong!" Wei Guiren suddenly hugged the Emperor's feet and began to cry, crying and begging for mercy, "I shouldn't stare at the front, I'm just... I'm just too boring to be alone, I can't help but think Knowing what happened in the palace, after Empress Dowager De was thrown into the cold palace, I was alone..."

Before he finished speaking, a cold light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes.

Wei Guiren stood up and rushed towards Yan Donghuang, his eyes fierce and full of murderous intent: "Go to hell - ah!"

The black shadow rushed out and kicked her chest.

Wei Guiren screamed, his body flew out like a kite, and fell heavily to the ground.

puff!

A mouthful of blood spurted out, her face turned pale, and she lay lifeless on the ground. The unsheathed dagger fell aside with a cold light.

From the beginning to the end, Yan Donghuang just sat quietly in front of the couch, without any reaction to Wei Guiren's attack or being attacked, as calm and calm as if the person who was assassinated just now was not him.

The Supreme Emperor's face was extremely cold.

Wei Guiren was a concubine in his harem. Not only did she monitor the movements of the previous dynasty, but she also dared to assassinate the new emperor in front of him. She was extremely audacious.

"Come here! Drag this bitch out and kill her with a cane!" Emperor Wu Lie was shocked and angry, and then added, "Gui Wei assassinated the emperor. His crime cannot be pardoned. The entire Wei family will be executed and no one will be left alive!"

"Father, please be patient." Yan Donghuang spoke calmly and ordered to the guards who came in, "Take the noble lady to the prison of the Criminal Department. Rong Ying, you and the Criminal Department will interrogate her together. Make sure she spits out the other chess pieces in the palace. "

"Yes." Rong Ying took the order and left.

Yuan Ziying poked her head in from outside the palace and whispered: "Your Majesty, I can also help."

The Supreme Emperor's face turned cold: "Presumptuous."

Yuan Ziying knelt down on the ground with a plop: "The daughter of the people knows her crime."

Yan Donghuang glanced at her: "You go with Rong Ying."

"Yes, thank you Your Majesty."

The Supreme Emperor frowned and turned to look at Yan Donghuang: "Who is she? Why does she seem to have no rules at all."

"A little girl with good medical skills." Yan Donghuang looked calmly, "How is your father's health recently?"

The Supreme Emperor's face brightened slightly: "It's getting better, and I can occasionally go out to bask in the sun when the weather is warm."

"That's good. Let Ziying take your pulse later and see if you can adjust it."

The Supreme Emperor said nothing and looked at Yan Donghuang silently: "What's wrong with Yan Ling?"

Yan Donghuang didn't answer but asked instead: "Father, do you think it's normal for Mr. Wei to care about Prince An?"

Emperor Wu Lie frowned: "Of course it's not normal."

"She is a chess piece placed in the palace by King An." Yan Donghuang looked indifferent, "There is also Dr. Feng in the Imperial Hospital, who is an accomplice of Guiren Wei."

"Chess piece?" The Supreme Emperor's face changed slightly, and then he said angrily, "What does Yan Ling want to do?"

If chess pieces are placed in the palace, will he rebel?

"He naturally has his own thoughts when he does this." Yan Donghuang smiled, "Father, I have something to ask."

The Supreme Emperor was startled, hearing something unusual in her tone, "What's the matter?"

"Is my mother a maid?" Yan Donghuang looked up at Emperor Wu Lie, his eyes calm, as if he was just asking about something insignificant. "When Yan Ling was caned, he said that my mother was not a maid, and that my father's love for me was fake, and that I was not qualified to be the emperor."

The emperor frowned: "Do you believe him?"

"I don't really believe it. After all, he is best at sowing discord and making trouble." Yan Donghuang said indifferently, "But since he said it, I should verify it and dispel the doubts in my heart."

The emperor hummed: "So you still trust me, your father."

Yan Donghuang said calmly: "I have always thought that being born in the royal family, ability is the most important. The country is held by the capable, but the emperor's succession is not only based on ability, but also on feelings."

If an emperor hates his children, no matter how capable the prince is, he will not be willing to pass on the throne.

Unless he seeks power and usurps the throne.

Otherwise, you won't hate anyone, so let them take the responsibility of the entire country.

"You are right." The emperor nodded, looking relieved, "Not being easily deceived is also the attitude that a monarch should have. People are easily deceived by treacherous people, so you must have your own judgment."

Yan Donghuang said calmly: "Then may I ask, father, what is the identity of my mother?"
