"Lord Liu."
"Cheng Anbo, please have a seat." Liu Banshan asked one of his subordinates to make tea, and then said, "May I know why Cheng Anbo is here?"
"Of course, it's about the assassination of the Duke Of Jingting," Rong Xia said, "What have you found?"
"We've figured out the source of the flower pots, and the assassins are very cooperative. The only tricky problem now is how to catch the mastermind behind the scenes." Liu Banshan didn't hide the case. After his subordinates made tea, he said to them, "You can all leave. I'll talk to Cheng Anbo."
Everyone knew that the Duke Of Jingting was Cheng Anbo's future father-in-law. No matter whether the Duke Of Jingting had feelings for Princess Fule or not, Cheng Anbo couldn't be indifferent at this time.
After everyone left, Liu Banshan said, "There are four assassins. One of them is still in a coma, and the other three are seriously injured. My Lord, Princess Fule is good at martial arts. "
Rong Xia picked up the teacup and touched the corner of his mouth, "This way, I don't have to worry about her. It's good."
Liu Banshan didn't say anything more. He said, "Cheng Anbo, please don't worry. I'll investigate this case as soon as possible."
"Lord Rong," the Supreme Court Chancellor walked in, raised his hand and saluted Rong Xia. Rong Xia stood up and saluted him back, but he hurriedly moved aside, "Lord Rong, we'll investigate this case carefully. How can we let you come here in person?"
"I'm on leave today, so I'm here to disturb you. You won't find me annoying, will you?"
"Haha," the Supreme Court Chancellor laughed, "Lord Rong, you're too serious. You're welcome to come." As the Supreme Court Chancellor, he knew some things that others didn't. For example, His Majesty had his own spies around him. However, they had to know who the spies were and who their leader was.
The Supreme Court Chancellor had suspected Rong Xia before, but he felt that such a person was not suitable to be a spy, so he was only skeptical. However, this did not affect his respect for Rong Xia.
"With Milord in charge, I'm naturally assured." Rong Xia smiled faintly. "I can't bear to see my fiancée get angry, so I made a special trip here."
The Supreme Court Chancellor laughed dryly in his heart. Cheng Anbo was putting pressure on them.
"I wonder if the Duke Of Jingting …"
"The Duke Of Jingting was frightened and has returned to his residence to rest. As for the Princess Fule … "Rong Xia picked up his teacup and slowly took a sip. Then, he gently scraped the edge of the teacup with the lid. The Supreme Court Chancellor's heart was in turmoil. He could only hope that Rong Xia would give him a quick death.
"The Princess is a woman. Seeing her father suffer, she was very upset. Now, she has gone to the palace to see His Majesty." Rong Xia sighed, "Milord, you should know how His Majesty treats the Ban Family. Therefore, this case cannot be delayed. The longer it is delayed, the angrier His Majesty will be. When that time comes, who will help Milord bear the crime of incompetence?"
"Thank you, Lord Rong, for your reminder. I will investigate this case strictly." The Supreme Court Chancellor was even more worried. He didn't know how the Ban Family was able to coax His Majesty into thinking highly of them. Even during the mourning period, His Majesty would reward them with gifts every few days. Even if the Princess Royal had the grace of saving the Emperor, it shouldn't make His Majesty miss them so much, right?
"Milord, you are busy. I won't disturb you any longer. Goodbye."
"Take care, Lord Rong."
After sending off Rong Xia, the Supreme Court Chancellor walked in front of Liu Banshan and said with a frown, "This case has no beginning or end. How are we supposed to investigate it?"
"Milord, this is the portrait of the instigator that the assassin gave us." Liu Banshan handed the portrait to Liu Banshan. After Liu Banshan took it and looked at it, he suddenly exclaimed, "What an amazing painting. Qingfeng, your painting skills have improved again."
"Milord, this painting wasn't made by me," Liu Banshan said with a bitter smile, "This is Cheng Anbo's calligraphy."
"What?" The Supreme Court Chancellor looked at the painting in surprise, "Rong Junpo doesn't paint portraits, right?"
"Maybe there are always exceptions," Liu Banshan thought of Princess Fule and shook his head with a smile, "Fortunately, we have this painting. It makes our work a lot easier."
The Supreme Court Chancellor carefully put the painting on the table. This was the first portrait of a person in Rong Junpo. He even wanted to put it in his arms.
Unfortunately, the person in the painting was an ordinary villain. Otherwise, he would have put it away shamelessly.
In the Great Moon Palace, a songstress was singing for Emperor Yunqing. Seeing that His Majesty was interested in her, the songstress was delighted.
"Your Majesty, Princess Fule wants to see you."
Emperor Yunqing, who was still intoxicated by the songstress' song, sat up straight and looked at Wang De, "Who are you talking about?"
"Your Majesty, it's Princess Fule."
"Oh, this girl finally stopped talking to me." Emperor Yunqing touched his chin with a smile and said to Wang De, "Old man, why haven't you invited her in yet?"
"Yes." Wang De retreated. But when he thought of Princess Fule's tearful face, he was afraid that His Majesty would have a headache again.
Sure enough, when Emperor Yunqing saw Ban Han walk in with red eyes and wrinkled clothes, he thought that she would be bullied in the future. He said, "Huahua, what happened to you?"
"Your Majesty!" Ban Han knelt in front of Emperor Yunqing and pursed her lips. Like a bullied child who finally found her backbone, she burst into tears.
She wasn't Emperor Yunqing's concubine, so she didn't need to cry elegantly. At this moment, she cried as much as she felt wronged.
"What's wrong?" Emperor Yunqing was dumbfounded by this unforeseen event. He didn't have the mind to care about the songstress. He hurriedly had a female official help Ban Han sit up. The entire Great Moon Palace was busy coaxing this uncontrollably crying grandaunt.
"Little girl, don't cry. If you've been wronged, don't hesitate to tell uncle. Uncle will help you vent your anger." If his concubine cried like this, Emperor Yunqing would have already flung his sleeves and left. But this was the younger generation that he liked. Emperor Yunqing's attitude was different. He was thinking about who was so blind that they didn't even give face to his favorite junior.
For an emperor, not giving face to his favorite official was not giving face to him.
"Your Majesty." Ban Han sniffed. Her eyes and nose were red. Emperor Yunqing suddenly thought of a little white rabbit that he raised when he was young. What happened to that rabbit?
It seemed that it was taken away by his second younger brother, who was favored by his father. It was said that in less than two days, the rabbit was played to death by his second younger brother. He also skinned it and hung it on a tree. The memory was too long ago. He couldn't remember it clearly, but he still remembered the feeling of being bullied.
"Okay, okay, we don't feel wronged." Emperor Yunqing personally brought a cup of honey tea to Ban Han. "Drink some water first."
Ban Han took the cup and took a sip. She sobbed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Emperor Yunqing let out a long sigh of relief. She finally stopped crying.
"Your Majesty, someone wants to kill us." Ban Han stared at Emperor Yunqing with her big watery eyes. "I don't want to die."
"Who wants to kill you?" Emperor Yunqing widened his eyes in surprise. In his mind, he thought, could it be that someone saw that he was nice to Ban Family and was dissatisfied? That was ridiculous. As the Emperor, he could be nice to whoever he wanted. How could someone be dissatisfied?!
Ban Han told him what happened. However, because she was too sad and scared, it was normal for there to be some omissions.
"I don't understand. Why would someone want to kill us? Could it be because …" Ban Han seemed to have thought of something and her expression changed.
Emperor Yunqing knew that she couldn't hide her thoughts. "If you have something to say, just say it."
"Is it because our family did something that made others unhappy, so someone wants to take revenge on us?" Ban Han muttered. "Our family has been observing mourning recently. We haven't offended anyone."
When Emperor Yunqing heard this, he thought even further.
These people weren't dissatisfied with the Ban Family. They were probably dissatisfied with him, the Emperor. In the previous assassination, his aunt lost her life because of him. If the old subordinates of the Prince Hui Mansion wanted to take revenge, they would naturally target the Ban Family.
This was because his aunt only had a few descendants of the Ban Family.
As the Emperor, the biggest taboo was for others to plot against his throne. He was the most generous person and gave the people he loved the most respect. He was also the most petty person. There were many things that he could remember for the rest of his life. There were even many unlucky things that involved people he hated.
If Prince Hui's old subordinates hadn't been completely dealt with, then wouldn't he, the Emperor, still be in danger?
"Little girl, I'll send an edict to the Supreme Court right now and have them investigate this case. I definitely won't let you suffer."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Ban Han sniffled. She seemed to have just remembered that she was crying so badly just now. She covered her face with both hands and said, "Your Majesty, please forget how I looked when I was crying."
Emperor Yunqing couldn't help but laugh out loud. "That's nothing. When you were young, you peed on me. It's too late to be embarrassed now."
Ban Han blushed and said, "Your Majesty, I'm a girl. Please leave me some face."
"Okay, okay, okay. I'll leave you some face." Emperor Yunqing stood up and said, "Let's go. Come with me to see your aunt. Today, us uncle and niece will go to your aunt's place to eat."
The Empress was talking with her two daughters-in-law. When she heard the eunuch say that the Emperor and Princess Fule would be coming over later, she said to the palace servant: "Take away these refreshments. Change them to the ones that Princess Fule usually uses."
Xie Wanyu saw that the palace servant even changed the tea in her hand. She was secretly surprised. Ban Han was actually so valued by the Empress.
No wonder she was so fearless in the past and didn't give anyone face.
The Crown Princess tilted her head and looked at Xie Wanyu. She used her handkerchief to wipe the corner of her mouth and didn't say anything. Ever since it was rumored that her younger sister and her second uncle had an ambiguous relationship, she and this second sister-in-law were only friends on the surface. Other than that, she didn't even say an extra word.
In reality, the Crown Princess was very embarrassed. She was a very well-behaved person. Who knew that her younger sister would make such a scene with her younger brother-in-law. This made her very embarrassed. Even though the palace servant didn't dare to say such things in front of her, she still wasn't in a good mood.
A while later, the Emperor and Ban Han came in. She saw that Ban Han's face was red, she didn't wear any makeup, and her clothes were messy and wrinkled. She couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. What was Ban Han doing? She was coming into the palace to see the Emperor and Empress, and she didn't even follow the rules?
Xie Wanyu obediently stood up and bowed to the Emperor. It was as though she didn't see Ban Han behind the Emperor.
"Aiyoyo," the Empress saw Ban Han like this and said, "What's wrong? Quickly go change your clothes. I have clothes here that fit your body."
"Thank you, Empress."
Ban Han smiled at the Empress and followed the palace servant to the back.
The Empress looked at the Emperor: "Your Majesty, what happened?"
Emperor Yunqing's face darkened as he said: "An assassin tried to assassinate the Duke Of Jingting."
What?
The three noble women in the room all had expressions of shock.
Was he dead?
