Chapter 40
Listening to her words, Xiao Yu's eyebrows relaxed, with a smile on his face and a serious smile on his face: "I promise, there will never be a next time."

Zhao Yuan snorted slightly, expressing satisfaction.

He took the medicine in his hand again and said, "Drink the medicine quickly, it's already cold."

This time, Xiao Yu didn't hesitate at all. He took the bowl neatly and drank all the medicine in one breath.

Zhao Yuan watched him drink the concoction in the bowl one mouthful at a time, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

But she still suppressed herself a little to prevent her from showing too much excitement.

Looking at Xiao Yu who asked the waiter to wipe his mouth, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but laugh.

Xiao Yu noticed that Zhao Yuan was smiling, and he unconsciously started laughing too.

"When you are not angry, you will smile at me. A Yuan, your smile is beautiful."

Zhao Yuan pretended to be shy and hid her face, but in fact she was afraid that she would be so happy that others would look strange.

She smiled because from today on, Xiao Yu's dream of being emperor was completely extinguished.

After all, if the country is handed over to a prince who cannot continue to produce descendants, wouldn't it be like destroying the country.

No matter how important Xiao Yu was in the heart of the Dog Emperor, it would definitely not be as powerful as his power.

After all, the Dog Emperor still only loves himself and this supreme right.

After all, if he could really give up his country, he wouldn't let his beloved woman die in the cold palace.

When I thought about it, the Dog Emperor tried every means to help Xiao Yu ascend to the throne, and then dealt cruelly to his other sons, leaving them dead and disabled.

In the end, it was discovered that the bamboo basket was in vain. Xiao Yu was already a prince no different from an eunuch. What would he look like in the end?

Will he be so angry that he vomits blood and dies on the spot?

Tsk!Tsk!
Just thinking about that scene made Zhao Yuan so excited that the blood in his body was boiling.

At this moment, in the imperial study room of the palace.

After listening to the spy's report, the emperor was so angry that he swept all the memorials on the Long Case to the ground.

He was so anxious that he stood up and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

"You go down first."

"Yes."

In an instant, there was no one in sight.

By chance, Eunuch Zhou knocked on the door at this moment: "Your Majesty, Mr. Su wants to see you."

"come in!"

Eunuch Zhou led the people in, and immediately saw the memorials scattered on the floor, and his expression suddenly became nervous.

The emperor had already calmed down his expression slightly, and said without saltiness: "I accidentally knocked it down, come and clean it up."

"Yes." Eunuch Zhou stepped forward cautiously, half-kneeling and tidying up carefully.

The emperor looked at Mr. Su: "What's the matter?"

Mr. Su immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, there have been heavy rains over the past few days in Xixian County, which have caused major floods. Many people have been killed. I sincerely ask Your Majesty to send people to provide disaster relief!"

The emperor was already upset at this time. When he heard that such a trivial matter came to the imperial court, he couldn't help but lose his temper.

He reached out and slapped the table hard, frightening Eunuch Zhou to the point where he quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down."

Others also knelt down in fear and shouted to calm down.

The emperor stood, so angry that his eyelids twitched several times.

How can he calm down his anger.

The secret agent just said that Wang Qin was dead and was stabbed to death multiple times in an alley.

It doesn't matter if a seventh-grade ritual of Sesame and Mung Bean dies.

But Wang Qin was a person he carefully cultivated, and he spent a lot of effort on it.

It is necessary not only to arrange a life experience for him without any stain, but also to secretly cultivate his martial arts and talents, and let him start from a small official.

These people, in order to stabilize his victory, he asked Wang Qin to win over the people. In time, Wang Qin would not only have a flawless reputation, but also accumulate connections. Those who had been favored by him would be his help in reaching a high position in the future.And this was also the biggest help for Xiao Yu to ascend to the throne.

Seeing that Wang Qin has done many good deeds over the years, no one can praise him. Seeing that all the roads have been paved and the water is almost ready.

Just one last fall hunt.

However, at this last step, he was killed.

His plans were completely disrupted.

Where can he find a substitute like Wang Qin now to make up for the gaps in the plan.

Wang Qin's death at this moment is like the emperor who wants to eat, but has no chopsticks. The dishes have been placed, but he can only watch helplessly.

Can he not be angry to death?

"Get out, get out of here, get out of here!"

As the saying goes, when the emperor is angry, there will be millions of dead bodies.

At this moment, even Eunuch Zhou, who had looked down on the emperor for many years, did not dare to step forward to touch his troubles. He bowed to Mr. Su and a group of palace maids and eunuchs and then hurriedly exited.

I was afraid that if I walked too slowly, I would cause a bloody disaster.

The door is closed.

The emperor looked at the memorials that had just been sorted out and swept them all to the ground.

After venting in the study for a while, I calmed down a little.

Wang Qin's life has always been under his control, and he knows best whether he has any enemies.

It just so happened that just as Qiu Lie was about to arrive, Wang Qin was assassinated for no reason.

The emperor's hand suddenly clenched into a fist. The person behind this assassination must be found out.

Thinking about it, it is not enough to just leave this matter to the young minister of Dali Temple.

After the emperor pondered for a moment, he called Eunuch Zhou in who was waiting outside:

"Xuan Xu Shaohan enters the palace."

In the Li Mansion, Zhao Yuan patiently stayed with Xiao Yu all morning.

After everyone had lunch, she asked the waiter to light some soothing incense. After Xiao Yu fell asleep, she returned to her yard.

He waved to Mo Qi to stop what he was doing.

"Have you found any clues about the racecourse these days?"

Mo Qi shook his head: "Someone is deliberately keeping the news secret. I'm afraid it will take some time."

Zhao Yuan stretched out a finger to slide her hair, looked at Mo Qi and said: "Find out as soon as possible. I am still waiting to slap the Fourth Highness in the face."

Mo Qi immediately saluted: "Yes, Princess, I will go to urge you today."

Zhao Yuan responded lightly, then got up and walked out: "Mo Qi and I will go check out the shop. You three will stay in the mansion to take care of His Highness the Fifth Prince."

Mo Qin secretly glanced at the increasingly obvious cyan color under Mo Qi's eyelids, and volunteered to step forward: "Princess, why don't you let your slave accompany you?"

Zhao Yuan, who had caught all their little moves, had a dim light flash in his eyes, and then said: "No, just Mo Qi, I happen to be going to the spice shop, Ling'er is there, Mo Qi will just go with me. Get it now."

Having said that, Mo Qin couldn't find any more excuses to replace Mo Qi.

In this way, Zhao Yuan took Mo out of Xu Mansion and rushed towards the shop.

After burning a stick of incense, they arrived at the door of the spice shop.

The two of them got off the carriage one after another and walked into the shop. It was still lunch time and there was no one in the shop.

Ling'er was yawning on the table when she felt someone coming in and opened her eyes immediately.

"Miss, why are you here now?"

Zhao Yuan couldn't help but smile knowingly when she saw the little girl's surprised expression.

"I heard from Uncle An that a new batch of spices have been brought into the shop, so I came over to take a look. I'll ask you to make two more soothing incense, one of which is for Mo Qi. She was disturbed by thunder last night and didn't sleep well."
