Chapter 352 Murong Jing was captured by Qingyuan
"Your Majesty, Prince Li, and Princess Li are grateful to you."
The ministers immediately brought their families and kowtowed to the emperor and Murong Li and his wife to express their gratitude.
The emperor couldn't stand the smell in the hall any more. He waved his hand and said, "My dear ministers, there's no need to be so polite. When the imperial physician arrives, you can all check. If there's nothing wrong, you can all go back. I'm tired."
The emperor was not only tired, but also mentally exhausted. He wanted to go back and send someone to investigate.
So many ministers have become other people's pawns right under his nose, and there's no guarantee that there aren't other people's people. He has to investigate all the ministers in the court as soon as possible, otherwise he won't be able to sit firmly on the throne.
Fortunately, my two sons were not involved today, which is a blessing in disguise.
However, judging from what happened today, the fourth brother and his wife should not be underestimated. I didn't expect them to be so powerful.
Only today did the emperor see clearly that the fourth brother and his wife had no ill intentions. With their abilities and means, it would be easy for them to take his life, not to mention the throne under his butt.
He also gave up other unrealistic ideas and decided to make the fourth son the crown prince at the beginning of the new year.
He will never waver again, and only the fourth brother has the ability to inherit the throne.
The fifth son disappointed him greatly. Today, the performance of his two sons was clearly different. What's worse, the father of the fifth son's wife even rebelled.
The reason why Chen Ying was not taken down together was to save some face because she was now the daughter-in-law of the royal family.
She may not be killed, but she will no longer be able to hold the position of the queen.
"Farewell, His Majesty, the Imperial Consort, and all the ladies."
All the ministers and their families knelt down to see the emperor off.
The emperor waved to them, left a team of personal guards to watch over them, and quickly left the hall with his concubines.
As soon as the emperor left, the ministers felt relieved, thinking that the emperor would not hold on to them anymore.
The hall suddenly became lively. Everyone started to clean up the black blood they had just vomited, and the palace maids and eunuchs were also helping to clean up the dishes.
Murong Li and Su Yue looked at each other, then they went to the Su family and took them out of the hall.
After the poison was cured for everyone, they were no longer needed to take care of the palace affairs, as the people left behind by the emperor would handle them.
Outside the hall, Murong Li glanced at Su Yue. Su Yue understood his expression and nodded, saying, "It's alright. Let's go back first."
After the Shadowless Army dealt with those people, she took them back to the space and did not expose them.
Although he dealt with three gangs, unfortunately, Su Yue didn't know who the masters of the other two gangs were.
However, the biggest hidden danger, Gang Leader Ma, was solved, so it was not without gain.
The two gangs did not take any follow-up action, which meant that their strength was not as good as that of Gang Leader Ma. Just keep an eye on them in the future. Even if they didn't succeed this time, there will be a second time. They will always show up, and as long as they show up, they will not be able to escape her mental power.
So the group hurried out of the palace.
Somewhere in the capital, the masked man Murong Jing was waiting for a signal from the palace. After waiting for a long time, there was still no signal from the palace. He paced back and forth in the room anxiously.
Unable to wait any longer, he waved his hand to summon a secret guard and asked him to check what was going on.
This secret guard is always with him and will not be transferred away from him unless there is something special.
This time was different. He only had these two people to comfort him. The others had been sent out, and now only one person had returned. There was no signal from the palace, and he panicked.
There must have been an accident in the palace, and all his men must have been killed.
Thinking of this, Murong Jing felt very uneasy and waited anxiously.
The secret guard returned quickly, because before he entered the palace, he heard the ministers and their families coming out of the palace talking about what happened in the Hall of Supreme Harmony tonight.
After listening to the general situation, the secret guard understood the cause of the matter and came back to report to Murong Jing.
"You mean, Gang Leader Ma and his men failed?"
The secret guard bowed and said, "Yes, Master. Gang Leader Ma and his men have all been thrown into the Sky Prison."
The palace was under martial law at the time, and he didn't have the courage to enter.
Murong Jing remained silent after hearing this, thinking that since so many of Gang Leader Ma’s men had already failed, all the people he sent out must have died as well.
He suddenly felt a little discouraged. He had been planning for so long, but it failed in the same way. He lost his mind and smashed everything in the house. When he was tired of smashing things, he quietly left the capital with the secret guards.
It is not advisable to stay here for long. The emperor will definitely conduct a secret investigation tonight. He knows the emperor very well.
As soon as he left the capital, he ran into someone he didn't want to see, Monk Qingyuan. Their eyes met, and it was Monk Qingyuan who clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, benefactor, please follow me back."
"You old bald donkey, why do you always meddle in my business? If you want me to go back with you, dream on."
Murong Jing cursed angrily, asking why this damn bald donkey always picked on him. There were so many evil people in the world but he didn't try to convert them, but instead targeted him. He wished he could kill this damn bald donkey.
He waved his hand and two men in black jumped out and attacked Qingyuan without saying a word.
The move was a killing one. Qingyuan didn't even raise his eyelids. He just waved his hand lightly and knocked the two secret guards to the ground.
Murong Jing was confused... Were his secret guards made of paper?
Or is this dead bald donkey some kind of evil monk?
Qingyuan moved his feet and came in front of Murong Jing in the blink of an eye. He chopped his neck with a knife and knocked him unconscious. Then Qingyuan picked up the three people and quickly disappeared in the snow.
After Murong Li and Su Yue returned to Prince Li's Mansion, they washed up and entered the space to cook. After they ate, Murong Li asked Su Yue about some of the situations in the palace.
"Yuer, are you saying those people came out of Fangfei Palace?"
Su Yue confirmed: "Yes, they all came out from the back door of Fangfei Palace."
Murong Li tapped the table with his fingers, wondering in his mind whose palace Fangfei Palace belonged to. He had no idea what kind of palaces the concubines in the harem lived in. Except for the palaces of the Queen, Concubine Yun, and the four great concubines, he had no idea about the others.
Now is not the time to worry about who lives in Fangfei Palace. We must go to the palace and inform the emperor immediately that the people in Fangfei Palace are the people of the Ma Gang.
"What should we do with the Queen and the former Crown Prince?"
Su Yue asked Murong Li, because she was afraid that they would wake up early, she put them all into the space.
Murong Li thought for a moment and said, "How about this, Yue'er, let them all go back. I will go to the palace immediately and tell the emperor. He will make the final decision."
"Will the emperor still see you if you come to the palace so late?"
"In the meeting, what he cares about most is his chair. If anyone threatens his chair, he will be more anxious than anyone else."
"Okay then, I'll move you out now."
After Su Yue finished speaking, she moved Murong Li out, then watched him leave Prince Li's Mansion, and then watched him enter the palace and come to the emperor.
