The sky outside was already dark. Jade Flood Dragon was sitting in his study, reading a book. The book he was reading wasn't a profound one, it was a book about ice element magic. In fact, everyone in the Arctic Continent had read such a book when they were young. In the past, Jade Flood Dragon simply didn't know how to read it.
But now, things were different. The Jade Flood Dragon wanted to teach spells to the people of the Lost Soul Empire. Therefore, he needed to study the Ice Element Spell Initiation Book. Although he had already sorted out some spell learning methods, there were still a lot of imperfections in those methods. They could only be used as reference and wouldn't be useful for learning.
Because of this, after the Jade Flood Dragon returned, it began to study books on magic enlightenment. It wanted to teach the people of the Lost Soul Empire better.
At this time, footsteps were suddenly heard. Then Yu Daban's anxious voice was heard, "Your Highness, bad news. I just received news that Assassins have entered the palace!"
Jade Flood Dragon stared, then he suddenly stood up and shouted, "What's going on?" While talking, he walked outside. At this time, Tang Ming and the others were also alarmed. Everyone came out of their rooms.
Yu Daban turned to Jade Flood Dragon and said, "Your Highness, bad news. Just now, some guards passed by. This old servant paid attention and saw that they were heading towards the palace. This old servant inquired and heard that Assassins had entered the palace. I wonder how His Majesty is doing."
Jade Flood Dragon's expression changed, then he turned to Tang Ming and said, "Old Tang, call me. We're going to the palace."
Although Tang Ming felt that this matter was strange, he immediately complied. While he was gathering the people, he heard the sound of a bell coming from the palace.
Upon hearing the bell, Jade Flood Dragon's expression changed, "Assassins have really entered. Let's go." Then he ran out of the residence. The others quickly followed. After leaving the residence, the group headed towards the palace.
Soon, they arrived at the gate of the Imperial Palace, only to find that the gate was tightly shut and the walls were full of guards. Yu Jiaolong led his men to the bottom of the wall and immediately shouted at the guards on the wall, "I am the eighth prince, Yu Jiaolong. What happened in the Imperial Palace? Why did the alarm sound?! "
At this time, a person's head popped out from the palace wall and looked at Jade Flood Dragon. Then he cupped his fist and said, "This Han soldier greets the Eighth Prince. Assassins have entered the palace, a total of five of them. But they have been surrounded by our brothers."
Jade Serpent hurriedly asked, "Where's father? How is Imperial Father? "
Han Bing said in a deep voice, "Greetings to His Majesty. Eighth Highness, His Majesty has ordered that no one is allowed to enter the palace. Your Highness, please return."
"How can I go back at a time like this? I will wait here. You must protect my father well. "Han Bing responded and then retracted his head, not saying anything else.
At this moment, footsteps were heard again. The jade flood dragon turned around and saw Yu Feilong and a few other princes. They had also led their servants to the outside of the palace.
Yu Feilong saw Jade Flood Dragon and nodded. Then he said in a deep voice, "Eighth Brother, you're here. What happened just now?"
Yu Jiaolong shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about the situation right now. I heard from Han Bing that five assassins entered the palace. Imperial Father is fine right now, but Imperial Father said that no one is allowed to enter the palace. We can only wait outside."
Yu Feilong nodded and said, "Then let's wait." Then Yu Feilong stopped talking. The group stood there and looked at the palace wall. There was nothing they could do.
This wait lasted for more than two hours. At this time, the Han soldier on the wall appeared and said to Yu Feilong and the others, "Your Highnesses, the Assassins in the palace have been eliminated. His Majesty has ordered for Your Highnesses to come in." After saying that, he waved his hand, and the palace gate slowly opened. Two armored soldiers rushed out from inside, and Han Qing followed behind.
Han Qing was also wearing a suit of armor. He held a staff in his hand, but the bottom of the staff was very sharp. It could be used as a spear. He cupped his fist towards Yu Jiaolong and the others and said, "Greetings, Your Highnesses. His Majesty has given an order for Your Highnesses to come in. However, you can return to your residences."
Jade Flood Dragon and the others nodded. Then Jade Flood Dragon turned to Tang Ming and Yu Daban and said, "Steward Tang, Yu Daban, you can take your people back. I'll go see Father." Tang Ming and Yu Daban complied. Then they led their people back. Yu Feilong and the others did the same. They told their families to go back first while they entered the palace.
Yu Jiaolong was really anxious. After entering the imperial palace, he immediately followed the eunuch inside. Soon, the eunuch led Yu Jiaolong and the others to the door of Yu Yunlong's study room. Two eunuchs and a group of armored soldiers were standing in front of the door. The eunuch who led the way stopped in front of the door and loudly said, "Your Majesty, Your Highnesses are here to see you!"
"Let them in!" Yu Yunlong's voice was heard. His voice was very calm, no one could hear anything.
The two eunuchs in front of the study opened the door. Then Jade Flood Dragon and the others entered. As soon as they entered, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Yu Yunlong. Then they said in unison, "Greetings, Father. Long live Father."
Then Yu Yunlong's voice was heard, "Alright, get up." The group responded and stood up. Then they looked up at Yu Yunlong.
Yu Yunlong was sitting there with Zhang Zhen standing next to him. Yu Yunlong's face was very calm, no one could see anything. Jade Flood Dragon and the others only glanced at them before they lowered their heads and didn't say anything.
Yu Yunlong looked at Yu Jiaolong and the others and said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect that assassins would enter my palace. Hahaha, good, very good. I really want to know how those assassins entered the palace."
Jade Flood Dragon and the others lowered their heads and didn't say anything. They could hear the anger in Yu Yunlong's voice. But at this time, they couldn't say anything. This was because the Princes couldn't interfere with the matters of the palace. Therefore, the best thing for them to do was to remain silent.
Yu Yunlong said, "Those Assassins appeared without any evidence. I'm the first one to doubt that they didn't have any contact with anyone in the palace. Therefore, in the next few days, the palace will be investigated. You don't need to enter the palace for the next few days. I called you here today to let you see that I'm fine, so you don't need to worry. Alright, now that you've seen me, you can go back. You can come back whenever I call you back."
When Yu Jiaolong and the others heard Yu Yunlong's words, they could only respond. Then, they bowed to Yu Yunlong before leaving the study room and the palace.
After they left the study, Yu Yunlong turned his head to Zhang Zhen and said, "Did you see what happened just now?"
Zhang Zhen replied, "Yes, Your Majesty. This old servant saw it. Only His Highness the Eighth Prince didn't have any reaction." Yu Yunlong said those words just now because he wanted to see how Jade Jiao and the others would react when they heard that he was going to investigate the Imperial Palace. And just as Zhang Zhen said, only Jade Jiao didn't have any reaction. The other princes would more or less have some reaction. In other words, only Jade Jiao wouldn't have anything to do with the investigation, the others would have something to do with it.
Yu Yunlong sighed and said, "This child has grown up, so has his heart. Zhang Zhen, starting tomorrow, investigate everyone in the palace. I want to see how many people in the palace have contact with outsiders." Zhang Zhen nodded and didn't say anything else.
Yu Yunlong looked at the sky outside, then he said, "Alright, let's go back and rest. Take care of the families of those people. Don't let anyone see any flaws. Let's go." Zhang Zhen nodded, then he helped Yu Yunlong to take a rest.
At this time, Jade Flood Dragon had already returned home. As soon as he arrived, he immediately called Tang Ming over. He, Tang Ming, and Yu Datan sat in the living room. Jade Flood Dragon frowned and said, "I didn't think that there would be Assassins in the palace. Who sent them?"
Tang Ming looked at Jade Flood Dragon and smiled faintly, "Your Highness, I've received some interesting news. Your Highness, a few days ago, several death warriors disappeared from the intelligence department. There weren't many of them, only five of them. Only a few people know about this, and it was done in secret. I heard that it was arranged by Eunuch Zhang."
"Zhang Zhen? How could he be so bold? No, Zhang Zhen has been with my Imperial Father since he was a child. He has always been loyal to my Imperial Father. It's impossible for him to assassinate my Imperial Father. If he really wanted to assassinate my Imperial Father, there would be plenty of opportunities. It's impossible for him to do it through the intelligence department. The intelligence department has always been under my Imperial Father's control. But why? " Yu Jiaolong wasn't an idiot. When he heard that five people were missing from the intelligence department, and that it was Zhang Zhen who arranged it, he immediately knew that the assassins were sent by Yu Yunlong. However, he was still puzzled as to why Yu Yunlong would do this. What kind of method was this?
Tang Ming smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness, Eunuch Zhang is absolutely trustworthy. Then this matter must have been arranged by His Majesty. As for why His Majesty arranged this matter, I can already guess. I think it has something to do with the previous news. Your Highness' return to the Ice Jade Country has always been kept secret. It can be said that only after you entered the palace did people know about it. However, the Fourth Highness was able to know about it very quickly. Moreover, he directly entered the palace. So how did he get this information so quickly? Could it be that someone in the palace had informed him? In the past, His Majesty didn't know that the Fourth Highness was in contact with the people from the Ice Soaring Country and the Icebound Country. But now that His Majesty knows about it, this matter is no longer a trivial matter. I think His Majesty's main purpose in arranging this assassination should be to purge the palace. Your Highness, did His Majesty say that someone in the palace is colluding with the Assassins and is preparing to investigate the palace? "
Jade Flood Dragon's body shook. Then he turned his head to look at Tang Ming and sighed, "Old Tang, you're right. Imperial Father wants to investigate the palace. It seems like you've guessed it right. It seems like Imperial Father has already confirmed that Fourth Brother is in contact with the people from the Ice Soaring Country and the Icebound Country. But he didn't expect Imperial Father to do this."
