Guan Jie had been seriously injured, and it was Chou Hen who had injured him. His head was badly injured, and when he woke up, he had forgotten everything, causing his originally simple mind to degenerate even further. He was like an eight year old child, and his memories of the past were even more blank.
However, ever since Lu Lingzhi had died and Chou Hen had returned to the Xuantian Continent, no one knew how Guan Jie had been injured. In fact, they didn't even know who he was. He had always been a wanderer, and the only thing he remembered was that his name was Guan Jie. He couldn't remember anything else.
Murong Ke didn't trust Guan Jie. Even though he had saved Ming Yu not long ago, he still didn't feel at ease leaving Guan Jie here.
"Take him away." Murong Ke ordered Wang Qu.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Qu secretly let out a sigh of relief. At least the Emperor didn't say he killed Guan Jie.
Ming Xi frowned, not really wanting Wang Qu to take Guan Jie away.
Guan Jie's silly personality wasn't suitable to stay in the military camp.
"Father …" Ming Yu called out. It wasn't right to take Guan Jie away like this.
"If he really doesn't have any ulterior motives, We won't do anything to him." Murong Ke said calmly, but his tone was firm.
Ming Xi glanced at Guan Jie. Seeing that he left with Wang Qu without any resistance, it seemed that he trusted Wang Qu. As long as he was in the capital, it would be easy to see him.
Guan Jie walked to the door and stopped, turning back to look at Ming Xi.
"We will meet again." Ming Xi said with a smile.
"Who are you meeting?" Shang'er and Fire Phoenix walked out from the other side of the room. Seeing that Ming Xi and the others had arrived, they immediately walked over.
Guan Jie's gaze fell on Shang'er. He had seen her in Canghai City before.
"Hey, isn't he that …" Shang'er pointed at Guan Jie, "Didn't we see him in Canghai City?"
"Yes, he is Guan Jie." Ming Xi said.
Shang'er walked in front of Guan Jie in surprise, "Why are you in the capital?"
Murong Ke narrowed his eyes. It seemed that Guan Jie was indeed in Canghai City.
"I'll tell you later." Ming Xi pulled Shang'er back, "How many people are injured? Are their injuries serious?"
Shang'er's attention was diverted, "Many are burnt, some are very serious. There aren't enough doctors in the clinic."
"I have already asked the imperial physicians to rush over as soon as possible." Murong Ke said. Just as he finished speaking, someone outside sent a message saying that the Imperial Physician who specialized in treating burns had arrived, and he had brought all the medicine that could treat burns from the Imperial Hospital.
Hou Peidong came over and invited Murong Ke to the inner courtyard. Wang Qu had already taken Guan Yu away.
Ming Xi, Ming Yu and the others naturally followed.
Murong Ke sat down on an armchair in the hall. "Mingxi, tell us, what happened tonight?"
"The iron furnace used to hit the tree flowers exploded. The people standing in front were splashed by the iron, and they were quickly set ablaze. Many people were trampled." Ming Xi said, "When we were saving them, those black clothed men appeared. They wanted to kill Ming Yu."
"We have already sent Shen Yi to interrogate those assassins." Murong Ke said with an expressionless face. The iron furnace used to beat Shuhua wouldn't explode for no reason. Moreover, how did those people know that Mingyu would come to the city wall tonight to watch the beating of Shuhua? It was obvious that they had planned this for a long time.
Ming Xi glanced at Murong Ke. "Sixth Uncle, did the Imperial Court spread any … unfavorable news about Ming Yu?"
Murong Ke knew that ever since he filled up his harem, there had been some rumors in the capital that Ming Yu would lose her status as a princess. He scoffed at these rumors and couldn't be bothered to care about them. There would always be some people who couldn't bear to see him spoil Ming Yu. However, he didn't need to prove to others that he really treated Ming Yu as his own daughter. When Ming Yu grew up in the future, those people would naturally understand.
Could it be that those rumors were deliberately spread by someone?
"You suspect that the person who wanted to kill Ming Yu is an official of the Imperial Court?" Murong Ke asked in a low voice.
"I don't suspect anyone." Ming Xi said calmly, "Sixth Uncle, I don't know much about the Imperial Court, so I can't determine who would harm Ming Yu."
Ming Yu's face tightened. "Even if they wanted to kill me, why would they harm so many innocent people? Just based on this point, they definitely can't be let off lightly!"
Murong Ke said, "All of you return to the city first. The Hidden Guards will investigate tonight's matter thoroughly."
"Sixth Uncle, I want to see the assassins that were caught tonight." Ming Xi said.
"Sure." Murong Ke nodded. Just as Ming Yu was about to speak, he lightly said, "Ming Yu, come back to the palace with me."
Ming Yu curled her lips and looked at him with a wronged expression. "Father!"
"You were lucky that you weren't injured tonight. Wait until the truth is out, then I'll let you out of the palace." Murong Ke said. If Ming Yu was really injured, he didn't know how to explain it to Yao Yao.
Thinking of that woman, Murong Ke's heart tightened.
Ming Yu knew that this would be the result. It wasn't easy for her to leave the palace, but because of those men in black, she didn't know how long she would be imprisoned in the palace.
"Pass on my orders. The Imperial Hospital and the medical workshop are to do their best to save the injured people. The capital's magistrate is to thoroughly investigate the explosion of the iron furnace." Murong Ke said in a low voice. After giving his orders, he left the medical workshop with Ming Yu.
"Ming Xi, what do we do next?" Fire Phoenix asked in a low voice.
"Let's go to the Hidden Guards first. Those assassins' martial arts aren't weak. They should be killers. I'm afraid it won't be easy to interrogate them." Ming Xi said.
Fire Phoenix clenched her fist and shouted, "Even if they're killers, we can't let them go."
"Beating the trees and flowers turned out to be like this." Hou Peidong sighed from behind them. "I'm afraid we won't have the chance to beat the trees and flowers again."
Ming Xi turned his head to look at Hou Peidong. "Lord Hou, farewell."
Hou Peidong smiled and bowed. "Young master Ming Xi, take care."
The three of them had just walked out of the medical workshop when they saw Xu Jinbei rushing over. "Ming Xi, Huo 'er!"
"Where did you go today? Why did you only come now?" Fire Phoenix called out to Xu Jinbei.
"I heard something happened at the temple festival so I rushed over. Are you all alright? Where's the princess? "Xu Jinbei hurriedly asked.
"She's fine. Ming Yu has already returned to the palace." Ming Xi said lightly.
Xu Jinbei looked at Ming Xi with a heavy gaze. "Ming Xi, I received some news today."
"What is it?" Ming Xi asked.
"Yan Xiaoliu was injured in the wasteland. His injuries … are very serious." Xu Jinbei said in a low voice.
Ming Xi's expression changed slightly. "How did he get injured? Sixth Uncle didn't say anything about this just now. "
"The Emperor knew about this before the sky turned dark. Perhaps it was an accident, so he didn't tell you." Xu Jinbei said.
"Do you know how Yan Xiaoliu got injured?" Ming Xi asked.
Xu Jinbei lightly shook his head.
"Let's go to the Hidden Guards first. We'll enter the palace to find Sixth Uncle tomorrow morning." Ming Xi said.
