After giving himself a mental pat on the back, the Imperial Guard Commander said to his subordinates without delay, "Xiao Kong, quickly gather the men. We'll go to the Imperial Study to protect the Emperor and collect the body while we're at it..."

Upon hearing his superior speak, the Imperial Guard who had been called "Little Kong" quickly straightened his posture and said to the Imperial Guard Commander, "Understood, I will make the arrangements immediately."

Upon hearing that it was for the emperor's protection, Xiao Kong gathered all the imperial guards on duty.

After the troops had assembled, he went to summon the commander of the Imperial Guard.

"Boss, I've assembled everyone, just waiting for your order!"

The commander of the Imperial Guards, upon hearing his subordinates assemble the good men, walked out of his office.

He nodded at the hundred-odd Imperial Guards and said, "Let's go!..."

Led by him, a group of imperial guards hurriedly rushed towards the imperial study...

In the imperial study, Shen Yingying looked at Ouyang Zhenyu with a troubled expression. She said to Ouyang Yuqing, "Yuqing, is there anything else you want to say? If not, let's go."

When Ouyang Yuqing heard his wife say this, he replied, "Wait for me, it will be ready soon."

Hearing what Ouyang Yuqing said, Shen Yingying nodded and waited to the side.

Ouyang Yuqing then said to Ouyang Zhenyu, "I won't say much more. You should take care of yourself. After we leave, you should govern the world well."

Don't let anyone follow you; of course, you can't keep up anyway.

And don't forget those two imperial edicts when you attend court tomorrow...

Upon hearing what Ouyang Yuqing said, Ouyang Zhenyu interjected, "You don't need to worry about that. This Haoyue is my domain."

Of course I will take good care of it! ...

Upon hearing Ouyang Zhenyu's words, Shen Yingying glared at him and said disdainfully, "Don't spout such high-sounding words. You were so incompetent before, how can you suddenly become a wise ruler?"

"You'd better stop being so stubborn and learn from this experience. Think about how you can do something practical for the people in the future."

After all, it comes from the people and should be used for the people...

After Shen Yingying finished speaking, she took Ouyang Yuqing's hand and walked out of the Imperial Study.

As soon as Ouyang Yuqing and his wife stepped out of the Imperial Study, they saw the commander of the Imperial Guards leading more than a hundred Imperial Guards into the Imperial Study.

Seeing the Imperial Guard Commander leading his men, Shen Yingying said disdainfully to Ouyang Zhenyu behind her, "Heh, not much of a person, but he has so many loyal subordinates."

What a pity, these people aren't even enough to fill a tooth gap for us...

Upon hearing Shen Yingying's words, Ouyang Zhenyu did not leave the Imperial Study.

Given his current state, he won't be able to leave the Imperial Study.

However, he looked outside from inside the imperial study.

He saw the commander of the Imperial Guards leading a group of Imperial Guards outside the Imperial Study, awaiting orders.

Considering the strength of Ouyang Yuqing and his wife, Ouyang Zhenyu glanced at the assassin's corpse in the imperial study.

After seeing it, I wonder what he was thinking.

A moment later, he said to the commander of the Imperial Guards outside, "Make way, let them pass..."

Upon hearing the emperor's order, the commander of the Imperial Guards made way for him.

Seeing that the commander of the Imperial Guards had made way, Ouyang Yuqing led Shen Yingying step by step towards the palace gate.

The commander of the Imperial Guards watched Ouyang Yuqing and his wife until they were out of sight, then he said into the Imperial Study, "Your Majesty!..."

When Ouyang Zhenyu heard the Imperial Guard commander call him, he said to the commander without any explanation, "Come in and take the body away..."

Ouyang Yuqing and Shen Yingying walked to a secluded spot, and he said to her, "Yingying, let's stay in the capital tonight."

How about we set off first thing tomorrow morning?

Upon hearing Ouyang Yuqing's words, Shen Yingying replied with a smile, "Alright, I was originally planning to stay in the capital tonight as well."

I haven't seen my scumbag dad for a while, I have to go and see how he's doing.

And those scumbags who used dirty tricks on you in the past, have they washed their necks clean yet...?
