When Xiao Li entered the palace, the emperor had already known about the assassination. After all, so many people died, and the person assassinated was a princess. If the people from the patrol camp and the military department said they didn't see it, they would be courting death.

Xiao Li entered the palace in a rage to question the emperor, but before he even reached the imperial study, he met Lou Yan.

He was dressed in a crimson eunuch's uniform, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist and long legs.

It is obviously the same clothes, but when worn by other eunuchs, it looks bloated and dirty, but when worn by Lou Yan, it inexplicably becomes more handsome and noble. Just looking at his figure, you can feel the vigorous sexual tension. Who would have thought that he is actually a eunuch.

He was not wearing that ugly mask, and had a cold face, keeping strangers away. But when he saw Xiao Li, his eyes were obviously more concerned.

"Princess."

"I heard the princess was assassinated. Is she injured?"

His tone was cold and he seemed to have no emotion. If it weren't for the look in his eyes, one would have thought he was just being polite.

"It's okay, I'm not hurt."

Xiao Li walked over, and Lou Yan bowed politely to see her off. When she passed by him, a fragrant breeze came with it, and her sleeve brushed against his palm. He seemed to feel his little finger being gently hooked.

My heartbeat suddenly became unbalanced, and when I looked up again, her figure had disappeared.

Xiao Li entered the imperial study, where not only the emperor was there, but also an old man with gray hair.

"This old minister greets the princess."

The other party greeted me politely and was very friendly.

Xiao Li was stunned for a moment before he remembered: "Master Feng."

Feng Yin’s grandfather, whom I met during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"My royal brother and the Grand Tutor are discussing something important. Should I go out and wait for them?"

Taifu Feng waved his hand: "I have finished speaking, and I will take my leave now."

After everyone left, the emperor looked at Xiao Li and asked, "Are you not injured?"

Xiao Li: "I almost died."

The emperor said angrily, "These assassins are too rampant. I will not show mercy to them."

"Breaking the wind."

Emperor: "What?"

Xiao Li looked at him steadily: "Pofeng, the commander of the Lu family guards, he took action on the day I killed Lu Yanzhi, but he was unable to stop me."

The emperor was silent.

Xiao Li sneered: "What do you mean, my royal brother? You kept silent when you heard it was from the Lu family."

The emperor was helpless: "It's fine if you divorced Lu Yanzhi, but humiliating him in public and then killing him is really a bit too much."

Xiao Jingyun never let her down once, and she never knew which side she should stand on.

"Royal brother, do you mean that I deserve it and we're just going to let this go?"

The emperor shook his head decisively: "That's not the case. This matter still needs to be investigated. The crime of assassinating the princess is unforgivable. What I mean is that you should not be so ruthless in your actions in the future."

"You've already divorced Lu Yanzhi, and we've never had anything to do with each other again. But you insisted on killing him out of spite, and now you're being retaliated against..."

He sighed, "You killed him and he couldn't handle it. He was in a coma for a whole month. Why bother?"

The month she was in a coma was really not because she was sad about killing Lu Yanzhi. Forget it...it's hard to explain.

"The Lu family almost took your throne, and my brother actually spoke up for them. How magnanimous!"

The emperor said: "What do you know? This is the art of ruling. Only by governing the world with benevolence and virtue can we achieve long-term peace and stability. Killing people will not solve the problem."

What a benevolent emperor.

"I heard that the emperor is investigating the person who killed Lu Cang that day. He is indirectly helping you. Is the emperor ready to issue an amnesty?"

The emperor's expression instantly turned cold. "I don't need help from someone of unknown origin. That person has killed people without mercy and disregarded the imperial power and prohibitions. He was able to kill Lu Cang this time, but he might kill me next time. Such a vicious person must be killed without mercy."

Xiao Li: “…”

How to say it, although the emperor was a little unreasonable and wanted to kill people even though they helped him, he was right about one thing. Xiao Li knew himself and might really be able to kill the emperor in the future.

The emperor's intelligence is truly surprising.

Seeing Xiao Li remained silent, the emperor asked, "Why are you silent? What are you thinking about?"

Xiao Li pursed his lips and sighed in mock disgrace. "I thought the Emperor would summon that man to the throne. I wanted to see the true face of this mysterious man, but after hearing what the Emperor said, I'll forget it."

The emperor snorted coldly, "You are too ignorant of your own limitations. Go back. I have arranged for 300 imperial guards to guard the princess's residence. He will never dare to come again."

Xiao Li was sent away just like that, and the emperor didn't even mention what he would do to the Lu family.

The Lu family was exiled, and she was assassinated. That was all that happened.

It's a miracle that this man could be emperor for so many years.

Xiao Li came out of the imperial study feeling depressed, and somehow he thought of Tutor Feng. The emperor respected Tutor Feng very much, and he was his mentor.

How did Taifu Feng teach the emperor?

"Princess."

Xiao Li's steps were blocked by Lou Yan, who had been waiting for a long time.

There was no one else around, and Lou Yan greeted everyone meticulously, without looking at anything wrong.

Xiao Li was filled with doubts and walked over. "Master Seal Holder, do you know why Imperial Tutor Feng came to the palace today?"

Lou Yan didn't answer immediately. Instead, he looked at her deeply and asked, "Princess, if you ask me anything, I will tell you everything I know. If you are satisfied, will you reward me?"

Xiao Li: "...You speak first."

Lou Yan didn't insist on her promise on the spot and walked slowly to her side.

"After the Lu family was exiled, Lord Wang became the Prime Minister, but the candidate for the Second Prime Minister has not been decided. His Majesty wants to hear the Grand Tutor's opinion. In fact, he wants the Grand Tutor to take the position, but the Grand Tutor has always refused. This is the third time the Grand Tutor has entered the palace."

Everyone has their own aspirations, so it's not surprising that Taifu Feng refused. The Feng family is a scholarly family that teaches and educates people, and they have not shown much desire for power.
