After she left, Ji Yu Shu then shook his head and said as he walked into the room, "Really a woman that is more unfathomable than Young Lady Shao Yao. At least Young Lady Shao Yao would be happy to gift pearls, but this one … Could it be that she would be happier to gift heads? "He shuddered and quickly walked into the room.
…
In the Palace.
In the Emperor's study, the memorials on the table were piled up high. Emperor Wen Hui sat in front of the table and the memorials were spread out but he did not even take a look at them. He was already in the prime of his life and was about to enter his sixties. Even though he was still hale and hearty, there were spots of white at his temples. The matters of the world were mostly just a reincarnation and there were times when he was young and full of vigor. Even though he was now filled with lofty aspirations, the way everyone looked at him was that of a tiger that was gradually aging.
There would always be a new tiger that would inherit his position.
At this moment Emperor Wen Hui's expression was heavy. As he grew older, he became thinner and his skin was so loose that it seemed to stick to his bones, showing a strange old age. He spoke in a hoarse voice and one could vaguely hear the monstrous anger in his voice.
"Number Eleven really killed an assassin that looked exactly the same?"
The two black clad men standing in front of him said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, yes. The person that was caught had been tortured. In addition, the trusted aide of His Highness Prince Wen that was caught in the residence of Prince Wen also personally admitted that Prince Wen had executed a masked guard a few days ago. "
Emperor Wen Hui closed his eyes and suddenly raised his hand. The paperweight on the table flew out and broke into several pieces on the ground. After a moment, he then sneered, "Number Eleven, Zhen had still underestimated him!"
There were many eyes and ears in the Palace. The imperial concubines, officials and even the Empress. These eyes and ears were all to survive in the Palace and whoever had more information would have the first chance to win. The Emperor was no exception. Only when his eyes were everywhere, would the Dragon Throne be more stable.
At the beginning, he accidentally heard from his eyes that Prince Yu had killed an assassin that looked exactly the same as the previous one, Emperor Wen Hui did not believe it. The Imperial family's feelings were cold and he had stepped on the corpses of his brothers to sit on the Emperor's throne. Leaving behind Prince Yu who was ranked eleventh, was because Emperor Wen Hui always remembered that dangerous night when Prince Yu used his body to block the danger and was drenched in blood to save his life.
Emperor Wen Hui often thought that for so many years, he treated Prince Yu well, not only because of the kindness of that leg, but it also represented that Emperor Wen Hui still had kindness. Now that he was an emperor, everyone's feelings for him were no longer pure. Even his sons were scheming against him. But Prince Yu of the First Rank was able to remind Emperor Wen Hui that in this world, there was still a person who would disregard his own safety to block the sword for him, and he still had a personal disciple.
But now, it was like a huge joke. It seemed that the scene at that time was a play that was arranged by this' personal foot ', and even Emperor Wen Hui suspected that the crippled leg of Prince Yu was fake.
What did Prince Yu want to do? Plotting for the throne? Usurpation? There were so many records in the history books of concealing one's strength and biding one's time, and in one day one's rebellion, Emperor Wen Hui only felt anger and humiliation from being deceived.
When one was betrayed by a trusted person, the trust would be withdrawn and not only that, the suspicion would intensify. The people of the Imperial family were naturally suspicious and previously they did not suspect Prince Yu of the First Rank because of his sincerity but now that sincerity had become fake, the seeds of suspicion of the Imperial family immediately grew into a towering tree that no one could shake.
"Send people to guard the residence of Prince Yu. Zhen want to see what tricks he wants to play!"
Gao GongGong lowered his head and looked at his eyes and nose as he silently looked at his toes, as if he did not hear the anger of the Emperor. It was just that he sighed in his heart: Troubled times, troubled times.
