Chapter 145

Luo Bai hurried to the imperial study.

He stopped in his tracks, but he didn't dare to go in rashly. Instead, he stood at the door and took a deep breath to calm down his nervous mood.

Then he walked in cautiously.

The imperial study room is divided into two parts, the front and the back, and the front is used to meet with some ministers to discuss matters.

There is a small room at the back, where Emperor Xia Zhu Jingtian often stays, even Luo Bai is not allowed to enter.

Luo Bai walked in, at this time there was already a person standing in the imperial study room, it was Chu Dange, chief arrester of the Six Doors.

Now is not the time to exchange pleasantries, the two just looked at each other, and neither of them spoke.

At this time Emperor Xia had already received the news, but he hadn't come out of the secret room yet.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the door of the secret room was slowly opened.

Emperor Xia came out from inside with a livid face.

"See Your Majesty!"

"See Your Majesty!"

Emperor Xia sat down on the dragon chair without saying a word, staring straight ahead.

Neither Chu Dange nor Luo Bai dared to speak, they just stood there quietly.

"Mute! Speak!" Without warning, a violent shout came out of Emperor Xia's mouth, scaring Luo Bai into a fright.

On the other hand, Chu Dange's expression was normal, he took a step forward respectfully, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, all the people who entered Anle Gongfu through the six gates were killed, and I am trying to find a way to send people in."

"Your Majesty, all the people sent by the slaves have also lost contact. It seems that they were discovered by An Legong." Luo Bai immediately continued to reply after seeing Chu Dange finish speaking.

"Tell me something I don't know!" Emperor Xia waved his hand impatiently.

When Luo Bai heard what Emperor Xia said, he shrunk his neck involuntarily, then quietly turned his head to look at Chu Dange.

That meaning is very obvious, but you said it!

Chu Dange: "..."

Well, you eunuch, let me stand in front of you when you encounter such troubles, and you can pick up the bargains when you encounter benefits, which is really good enough!

Emperor Xia naturally noticed Luo Bai's small movements, and also turned to look at Chu Dange.

"Chu Aiqing, tell me what you think!"

Although the tone was calm, there was a chill in the words.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I have always suspected that there seems to be a secret force helping An Le Gong, and now it seems that this is indeed the case."

"After a long investigation, there are now some clues."

Chu Dange gave a vague answer, but Xia Huang didn't say anything, and asked Luo Bai instead.

"What about you?"

When Luo Bai heard Emperor Xia ask him, he was so frightened that he broke out in sweat, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, except for one person sent by this servant is still alive, and the rest are all dead."

"Okay." Emperor Xia stopped Luo Bai's next words, then took a deep breath, and then said slowly.

"It seems that Zhu Jingyan is going to have a showdown with me! That's good too, and it saves me the trouble of finding something to do with him."

"Chu Aiqing."

"Wei Chen is here."

"I'm not asking about your arrangement, but you have to find out who is supporting him as soon as possible."

"Yes." Chu Dange agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, you go down first."

Emperor Xia let Chu Dange leave first, but left Luo Bai behind.

When only the two of them were left in the entire imperial study room, Emperor Xia stood up abruptly, picked up a book on the desk, and slammed it at Luo Bai.

"Tell me! What's going on with Shen Zhiqiu?" Xia Huang's face was ferocious, changing from his peaceful appearance just now.

Pfft!
Luo Bai knelt down on the ground at once, lowered his head and said: "I don't know, I was fine before, but I don't know why I fell to An Le Gong all of a sudden!"

"Hmph! Then tell me, after sending so many people to monitor Zhu Jingyan, have you discovered his strength?" Emperor Xia continued to ask sharply.

"The servant did not find out, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Sweat burst from Luo Bai's forehead, then slid down his cheeks and dripped to the ground.

"I don't know about this, and I didn't find out about that, what's the use of you!" Xia Huang was furious, wanting to tear Luo Bai's body to pieces.

Just when Xia Huangqi's beard and hair were all standing up, suddenly, as if someone had pressed the pause button, he stood there in a daze, and then immediately returned to normal, and returned to the chair again.

"Okay, get up." Emperor Xia leaned on his chin with his hands.

"There are not enough people to send you, and it will be difficult for you to do this. Go down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Luo Bai kowtowed heavily, then scrambled away from the imperial study.

This is not the first time this has happened.

Luo Bai had long discovered that every once in a while, Emperor Xia would suddenly change his temper, sometimes being harsh and irritable, and sometimes treating others kindly.

This is not something he can speculate at will, he just needs to do the tasks assigned to him honestly.

Just when Luo Bai walked out, he saw Zhao Zhishou coming towards the imperial study.

"Isn't this Mr. Luo?" Zhao Zhishou took the initiative to greet Luo Bai.

"So it's Zhao Jianzheng, are you going to see His Majesty?" Luo Bai asked politely.

"Yes, there is something important to report to His Majesty." Zhao Zhishou said lightly.

"Then go." Luo Bai nodded, and then separated from Zhao Zhishou.

The moment the two separated, Zhao Zhishou held his head high and Luo Bai's body bent slightly, forming a stark contrast.

As a slave, Luo Bai has developed a habit for a long time, which made him involuntarily bow his head when facing court officials.

But the flash of coldness in his eyes showed his unwillingness.

Zhao Zhishou didn't notice Luo Bai's change, even if he did, he wouldn't take it to heart.

When he came to the door of the imperial study room, a young eunuch quietly walked up to him and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty is furious, Lord Chu and Eunuch Luo were scolded just now."

Zhao Zhishou's expression remained unchanged after hearing this, but he just nodded, and then flicked his finger, and a golden bean flew into the palm of the little eunuch.

The little eunuch held Jindouzi tightly, then turned around and walked into the imperial study to report.

After a while, the little eunuch came out and said loudly: "Master Jianzheng, Your Majesty calls you in."

Zhao Zhishou nodded, followed the little eunuch into the imperial study.

"Wei Chen greets His Majesty."

"Okay, there's no need to salute." Emperor Xia stopped Zhao Zhishou from saluting, "What's the matter with Zhao Aiqing?"

Zhao Zhishou raised his head slowly, and took a sneak peek at Emperor Xia, but it didn't matter, he almost cried out in shock.

Fortunately, he was deep in thought, tried his best to control it, did not show any abnormality, and said respectfully: "Mr. An Le just punched Qin Tianjian's Observation Tower with his fist, but was stopped by a humble official."

"En." Emperor Xia nodded.

In fact, he had gotten the news a long time ago, and was about to send someone to summon Zhao Zhishou, but he didn't expect him to come on his own initiative.

"Afterwards, Mr. An Le asked the minister to take a look at the son he just found."

"What!" As soon as these words came out, Emperor Xia was startled and sat up from the dragon chair.
