System: Rescue the Blackened Prince

Chapter 58

Weiying's eyes were already stained with murderous intent, everyone in Changle Palace was silent, not even daring to take a breath.

Pei Heng's eyes darkened, and he knelt on the ground and said to Wei Ying, "The last general found a man in black outside the Golden Light Palace just now, and followed him all the way here."

"Oh?" Weiying raised her brows slightly, and there was a cold smile on the corner of her mouth, "Where is the man in black now?"

Pei Heng frowned, and replied: "The last general watched him sneak into Changle Palace, and then disappeared."

"General Pei, do you think I will be satisfied with such a perfunctory answer?" Wei Ying's tone was cold, and the anger in his heart seemed to break through the ice immediately.

Everyone in Changle Palace buried their heads even lower, wishing to let themselves be humbled into the dust.Pei Heng pursed his lips, and said to Wei Ying: "Everything that the general said is true, please let the emperor learn from it."

"Pei Heng, Qian Lingwei's badge is not for you to break into the Forbidden Palace at night!"

The emperor's furious roar broke the heart of everyone in Changle Palace, and even Eunuch Li, who was used to seeing big scenes, couldn't help shaking twice.

Pei Heng lowered his head and remained silent. Wen Li's eyes flickered, and he walked up to Wei Ying and said, "General Pei is indeed here for the man in black."

Wei Ying glanced sideways at Wen Li, seemingly displeased, "Did the Queen see the man in black?"

The corner of Wen Li's mouth twitched, and she replied, "Just do a search and you'll find out."

Wei Ying took a deep breath, and said to Eunuch Li: "Eunuch Li, let the guards outside thoroughly investigate Changle Palace!"

"Your servant obeys!" Eunuch Li hurriedly ran outside the hall, and delivered the emperor's oral order to the guards stationed outside Changle Palace.

Weiying glanced at Pei Heng who was kneeling on the ground, and said coldly: "General Pei, if you can't find the man in black you mentioned, what should you do?"

Pei Heng's dark eyes moved slightly, and he said to Wei Ying in a deep voice: "The final decision will be at the disposal of the emperor."

Wei Ying sneered, "You said it yourself."

Pei Heng lowered his eyes and did not speak again.

While the guards outside the palace searched the Changle Palace in a hurry, the atmosphere in the queen's bedroom was still dignified.

The people in the room were still kneeling on the ground, not even daring to move.The emperor was facing Pei Heng, standing with his hands behind his back, his face was as gloomy as the sky that was about to rain.

Probably knowing that the emperor's Longyan was furious at this moment, the guards were working very fast. After a while, the guard commander Gao Fang trotted in to report his work, "Report to the emperor, no suspicious person was found in Changle Palace."

Wei Ying's eyes moved, and she asked Gao Fang, "Have you searched everywhere?"

"Except for the queen's bedroom, I have searched everywhere."

Wen Li's eyes darkened, she had been staying in the bedroom, if a man in black slipped in, she would not fail to notice.

Pei Heng, who kept his head down, finally raised his head, and said to Gao Fang who came in to return: "Impossible, I saw him sneak into Changle Palace with my own eyes."

Gao Fang said: "We have been guarding outside the hall, and we have not seen any man in black entering Changle Palace."

Although Gao Fang said so, in fact, he was sweating in his heart.At this moment, no matter whether any of them saw the man in black sneaking in, he could only say no.Because if they really let a man in black into Changle Palace without realizing it, then the emperor will blame him, maybe it's just a matter of losing his head.

Now he only hopes that if there is such a man in black, then he must hide it better, so as not to be searched out by them.

Gao Fang's small thoughts are naturally clear to Pei Heng, he looked at Gao Fang and sneered, "Neither of you saw me when I came in."

Gao Fang: "..."

Although Wei Ying wished to take this opportunity to kill Pei Heng, but it was about Wen Li's safety, so he couldn't tolerate any carelessness.If there is really a man in black lurking in Changle Palace, how can he sleep peacefully in the future.

Seeing that the emperor didn't speak for a while, everyone was extremely disturbed.Wen Li lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then her eyes lit up, "Hide trees in the forest, hide people in the crowd, make it unique, and people will turn a blind eye."

As soon as Wen Li finished speaking, Wei Ying and Pei Heng looked over at the same time.

Wei Ying's eyes moved, and she asked Wen Li in a deep voice, "What does the queen mean by this?"

Wen Li said: "The assassin who sneaked into Changle Palace will not disappear out of thin air. The reason why he cannot be found is because he is from Changle Palace."

As soon as Wen Li finished speaking, the faces of the eunuchs and maids who were kneeling on the ground turned pale, "Your Majesty, the slave has been wronged!"

What the emperor said early this morning still echoed clearly in my ears, how could they defy the law so efficiently!

Pei Heng's probing eyes swept over everyone one by one, and then said: "The man in black has excellent lightness kung fu, and the palace people in Changle Palace probably don't have such kung fu."

exactly!General Pei couldn't be more right!The eunuchs and maids in the room were full of insiders, this Changle Palace is really not a place for people to stay!I was severely frightened twice in one day, no matter how strong my heart is, I can't handle it!

After hearing Pei Heng's words, Wen Li raised the corners of her mouth and said with a smile: "There is a kind of person who not only knows martial arts, but can also move around in Changle Palace in an upright manner without arousing anyone's suspicion."

Wei Ying frowned when she heard this, and then her sharp gaze fell on Gao Fang who was kneeling on the ground.

As if being stared at by a poisonous snake suddenly, Gao Fang shuddered suddenly, and even his teeth rattled unconsciously.

Familiar with the terrain of the palace and the defense of the guards, and can disappear instantly after entering the Changle Palace, the guards of the Changle Palace who meet all the conditions are none other than the guards of the Changle Palace.

The person who guarded the queen's safety was someone else's confidant. Thinking of this, Weiying couldn't help but get angry.

The strong murderous intent that suddenly evaporated from the emperor made Gao Fang's clothes on his back completely wet with cold sweat. He calmed down and forced himself to calm down: "Your Majesty, you can't listen to General Pei's one-sided words on this matter. Whether or not the Man in Black exists is not yet a conclusion."

Regardless of the outcome of today's matter, he, as the leader, cannot absolve himself of the responsibility.Although he didn't have much hope in his heart, he still couldn't help but argue a few words for himself.

"Report—" Another guard trotted in, knelt on the ground and said to Wei Ying, "Report to the emperor, I found a night suit in the grass by the wall."

The little flame of hope in Gao Anxin's heart was completely extinguished.

Weiying sneered, looked at Gao Fang and said, "Commander Gao, this is really the recovery of the Skynet, it's not missing."

Commander Gao: "..."

Although the man in black was able to change his clothes quickly, he still failed to destroy the evidence in time.

Commander Gao knelt on the ground silently, just waiting for the emperor to pronounce the sentence.

"Come here, drag Commander Gao out with a hundred heavy sticks."

"Yes!" Two guards came over, ready to set up the Gao Fang on the ground.

Wei Ying glanced at Gao Fang, and said again: "Commander Gao, if you can't find out who the man in black is within three days, then come and see him!"

Commander Gao clasped his fists at Weiying, and his dantian sank, "This subordinate will definitely live up to the emperor's entrustment!"

Weiying looked at him coldly, and although his voice was cold, there was a strong sense of danger, "Commander Gao, don't think about finding someone to fool me, because the crime of deceiving the emperor will punish the nine clans."

Gao Fang's already pale face suddenly turned even paler, "Please rest assured, your majesty, your subordinates will investigate this matter thoroughly!"

"This is the best." Wei Ying said with a cold face, "From today on, you don't have to guard Changle Palace anymore. Eunuch Li, transfer the guards from Chengqian Palace to Changle Palace."

Eunuch Li was slightly startled when he heard the words, he took a step forward, and respectfully said to Wei Ying: "Your Majesty, if all the guards from Chengqian Hall are transferred to Changle Palace, what will happen to the safety of the Emperor?"

Wei Ying frowned slightly, "I live in Changle Palace, why are there so many guards in Chengqian Palace?"

Eunuch Li: "..."

Is it really okay for the emperor to do this!

Although Eunuch Li was slandering in his heart, on the surface he withdrew from Changle Palace respectfully and dispatched his staff.Commander Gao was also driven down by the guards and reprimanded.

In Changle Palace, the tranquility at the beginning was restored.

Wei Ying looked at the group of people kneeling on the ground, and finally said compassionately: "Everyone get up."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts as if they were relieved, this little life today was finally saved again.After kneeling on the ground for so long, their legs were already numb, and they stood up from the ground tremblingly only by supporting each other.

Only Pei Heng still stood upright, like a young white poplar guarding the frontier.

Wei Ying hooked the corners of her lips shallowly, walked up to Pei Heng and said, "General Pei is worthy of being General Qian Lingwei, and he didn't feel any discomfort after kneeling for so long."

The emperor was uncertain, Pei Heng couldn't guess his thoughts, so he just stood aside respectfully and didn't answer.

Say more and make more mistakes, silence is golden.

Weiying looked at him calmly, the corners of his mouth gradually deepened, "Since General Pei is in such good health, let's continue to kneel outside the hall."

Pei Heng: "..."

This is definitely public revenge, although Pei Heng has never figured out when he had the honor to forge a personal revenge with the emperor.

Could it be because of the Lantern Festival that he hugged the queen who was still a princess at that time?
But didn't he already swell his hand at that time!

That night, General Pei Heng of You Qianling Guard knelt outside Changle Palace for the whole night.

This incident spread throughout the Sixteen Guards early the next morning. Everyone speculated about it and had different opinions, but when it finally reached Wen Li's ears, it was such a version——Legend, today's sage has taken a fancy to Shiliuwei. Wei Zhihua's beauty, molested instead of hatred.

Wen Li: "..."

In Yonghe Palace, Cheng Meiren leaned on the beauty couch behind her, closed her eyes and meditated.

Su Lan stood by her side and reported to her in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Commander Gao has been punished by the emperor for a hundred slabs, and all the guards in Changle Palace have been replaced. It was transferred from the palace."

Cheng Meiren closed her eyes and sneered, "Jiang Jieyu is really unreliable."

Su Lan took a look at Cheng Meiren, and said, "Your Majesty, this servant even found out that it was the Empress Dowager who first suspected that the man in black was among the guards."

When Cheng Meiren heard this, her eyes that had been closed all this time finally opened. Her beautiful eyes seemed to be out of focus, and she only looked straight ahead.After a long while, he closed his eyes again, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly, "Jiang Jieyu is not the queen's opponent. It's a pity that I sent her such useful news."

Su Lan hesitated for a moment, but still said to Cheng Mei: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has already lived in Changle Palace, what shall we do next?"

Cheng Meiren didn't answer right away, but said after a while: "We don't need to do anything next, just watch Jiang Jieyu torment herself."
