Chapter 61: Desperate
Emperor Longxi’s eyes went dark!
He stumbled and fell!
"Your Majesty!" the eunuch exclaimed.
The eunuch beside him also hurried forward to support him, "Imperial Physician, quickly call the imperial physician!"
Emperor Longxi was so angry that he fainted the next moment.
The eunuch who was serving him looked panicked and shouted again, "Imperial Physician, quickly call the Imperial Physician."
Half an hour later, Emperor Longxi slowly woke up.
"Your Majesty, you are awake." The eunuch cried with joy.
The court is in chaos now. What should we do if something happens to Your Majesty?
"Li Anfu, what's wrong with me?" Emperor Longxi might have just woken up and was a little confused for a moment.
"I, I just heard them talking about King Kang..."
"Your Majesty!" Li Anfu's face turned pale. He suddenly knelt on the ground and dared not say a word.
Emperor Longxi turned pale and trembled, "Li Anfu, you speak."
Li Anfu spoke tremblingly, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Kang, His Royal Highness Prince Cheng..."
"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for Prince Kang!" Before Li Anfu could finish his words, Concubine Shu rushed in from outside.
She suddenly knelt on the ground, crying uncontrollably.
"Your Majesty, my son!" Concubine Liang also cried heart-wrenchingly.
Not only these two people, but the rest of the concubines also rushed in crying and shouting, as if the sky was falling.
If it were at ordinary times, they would never dare to trespass into Chenyang Palace.
But now, their children and grandchildren are all in trouble, so how can they care about so many things?
Emperor Longxi had regained consciousness at this time, and immediately remembered what happened before he fell into a coma.
With shaking hands, he pointed at Li Anfu and asked in disbelief, "Li Anfu, what on earth is going on?"
Li Anfu: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Cheng, His Royal Highness Prince Kang, His Royal Highness Prince Lu, Shun..."
When Emperor Longxi learned that all of his six sons except the third son were killed, and even the emperor's grandson was killed by criminals overnight.
Emperor Longxi finally couldn't hold on any longer, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted again.
Li Anfu did not care about committing an offense and directly pinched the Renzhong point, and Emperor Longxi slowly woke up.
"Your Majesty!" Li Anfu looked surprised.
Emperor Longxi grabbed him tightly and said fiercely, "Pass on my order. The Imperial Guards will immediately blockade the capital. Not even a fly is allowed to fly out of the capital. Only entry is allowed but not exit. Anyone who obstructs will be killed without mercy."
Li Anfu lowered his head: "Yes!"
As decrees were issued from the imperial city, the whole capital was in an uproar.
Everyone hid in the house trembling with fear, afraid of being affected.
You must know that under imperial power, life is worthless.
Apart from those martial arts sects, who else dares to confront the imperial power?
The Wangyue Restaurant where Lin Yulu and her brother lived was also surrounded by the Imperial Guards, who were searching every room.
Coincidentally, ever since Emperor Longxi bestowed a mansion upon Lin Yulu, the siblings have been living in the Lin Mansion.
It’s just that something happened last night, so the brother and sister simply stayed at Wangyue Restaurant for one night and didn’t go back.
What a coincidence, so many things happened in just one night.
It feels like it was intentional.
With such a loud noise, how could the brother and sister not hear it?
Jiang Jinzhou looked worried and had a headache after the hangover.
"I don't know what happened. I just looked around and saw that the streets were full of patrolling guards. There were also guards outside the Wangyue Restaurant. They were searching every room. I don't know what they were looking for."
Lin Yulu shook his head indifferently. It had nothing to do with them anyway. "Don't worry about it. If they want to investigate, then let them do it."
"That's right. The court is investigating the case, and all we have to do is cooperate." Jiang Jinzhou curled his lips indifferently.
But looking at this scene, something big must have happened.
The guards were very fast and it was their turn soon.
"Sir Zhang, there is no one here." The guard looked at Zhang Ying.
Zhang Ying turned his head to look at the shopkeeper next to him, "Didn't you say that all the rooms in your restaurant are full? Where are the people inside?"
The shopkeeper turned pale with fear and quickly explained, "Sir, I am not lying. The rooms in the restaurant are indeed full of people. The people living here are..."
"Boss, I'm here." Jiang Jinzhou walked out from the next room with a bright smile on his face.
"Mr. Jiang, why are you here?" Zhang Ying frowned and looked at him suspiciously. "Shouldn't you be living with Miss Lin in the Lin Mansion now? Why are you here?"
Jiang Jinzhou chuckled and said, "Yesterday was the auction held every five years at Wangyue Tower. I had never seen it before, so I pestered my sister to come and take a look."
"Because it was too late and I was drunk, I didn't go home and rested all night in Wangyue Restaurant. Who knew that I would be surrounded by your Imperial Guards today? So, what happened last night?" Jiang Jinzhou looked at him curiously.
Zhang Ying knew about the Wangyue Tower auction.
Since the establishment of Wangyue Tower, an auction has been held every five years.
From gold, silver and jewelry to panaceas, from kings and nobles to ordinary people, there is nothing that he doesn't know.
However, the threshold for this auction is very high, and ordinary people cannot get a spot to enter the venue. Tickets for each auction are always hard to come by.
Lin Yulu defeated Yang Juntian and became the number one in the martial arts world. Jiang Jinzhou is the young master of Cangwu Palace, so it is easy for him to get a few places.
Moreover, the auction venue of Wangyue Tower is also very mysterious, with many traps. It is located in the basement of Wangyue Restaurant.
So far, he has only been in there once.
Zhang Ying looked at him expressionlessly, unmoved, "The court is investigating the case. We need to search your room. Open it."
Jiang Jinzhou said with a smile: "Yes, of course, Sir Jiang, please do as you like."
As he spoke, he took the initiative to open the door.
Zhang Ying gave a look and the people around him went in to search.
Jiang Jinzhou wanted to get some information, and was not afraid of Zhang Ying's cold face. "Master Zhang, I wonder what happened last night..."
"No comment." Zhang Ying interrupted him and looked at the guards who were searching.
Guard: "Sir, nothing unusual."
Zhang Ying nodded and went straight to the next room, where Lin Yulu was.
"Miss Lin, sorry to bother you."
Lin Yulu: “Whatever you want!”
Zhang Ying and his guards searched the Wangyue Restaurant inside and out, and even looked for the owner of the Wangyue Restaurant, preparing to search the underground auction house of the Wangyue Restaurant as well, so as not to miss any possible suspicious points.
In response to Zhang Ying's request, the shopkeeper said he had no authority.
He would ask the person in charge of Wangyue Tower for instructions. It happened that there was an auction yesterday and the person in charge was still there.
Finally, Zhang Ying led the guards to search the underground auction room as he wished, but unfortunately, he found nothing. He quickly left with his men, and the guards outside also withdrew.
However, the imperial guards were still patrolling the streets, and the entire capital was filled with a tense atmosphere.
Lin Yulu and Jiang Jinzhou soon found out what had happened, because this matter was no longer a secret, and the entire capital was in an uproar because of this matter.
After Jiang Jinzhou heard the news, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide.
His face was filled with disbelief, and he murmured, "Oh my God, who on earth did this? This, this is too..."
This is too cruel. Are you going to make Emperor Longxi have no descendants?
Oh, it seems not. Prince Yu’s mansion seems to be fine.
Jiang Jinzhou lowered his voice, "Sister, who do you think did this?"
The current Emperor Longxi had a total of six sons. Five of them are dead now, and even the emperor's grandson has not been spared.
This is too cruel. It was all gone overnight.
Oh my god, it's simply Wolf Mine!
The person behind this clearly has a grudge against Emperor Longxi!
It’s still that kind of endless hatred, and the most important point is, how did the real culprit behind this do it?
There are imperial guards inside and outside the palace, and each palace has its own secret guards.
He was killed quietly overnight. How horrible!
"Wait." Jiang Jinzhou jumped up suddenly, frowning, "This matter seems a little strange."
Jiang Jinzhou propped up his chin and said slowly, "Emperor Longxi lost five sons and more than a dozen grandchildren overnight, but Prince Yu's mansion was fine. Any normal person would suspect that this incident was related to Prince Yu. Could it be that the real culprit behind the scenes did it on purpose?"
Jiang Jinzhou was a little worried, "Sister, should we go to Prince Yu's mansion to take a look?"
No matter what, Qi Xuanyun is now my sister's disciple and his nephew.
Now that something like this has happened, Prince Yu’s Mansion might also suffer.
I don’t know what kind of grudge or hatred the person behind this has against the imperial court. From the looks of it, it seems that he wants to kill all the royal family members.
Not only that, in the end they wanted to frame Prince Yu.
Even if Emperor Longxi doted on the Imperial Noble Consort and her son, he couldn't be sober about such things. This move was really cruel.
After all, no one knows what the furious Emperor Longxi will do.
