Empress' Conquest
C158
Hearing that, Ye Hen took out a letter from his chest and respectfully handed it over to Leng Ao Tian.
"Your Majesty! Previously, his subordinate and Liu Jingnan had set up a trap, but once the mysterious organization tried to rope him in, he was forced to pretend to cater to them. After a few contacts, Liu Jingnan was able to gain their trust, so the night before yesterday, they handed their final intent to Liu Jingnan through a letter. Of course, they were still very careful and didn't show themselves! According to the letter, the purpose of this mysterious organization was... is to change dynasties! " When Ye Hen saw this letter, he finally understood the seriousness of the situation.
"What?!" Chu Jian and the others looked at Ye Hen in shock! If this was true, then the situation was in a precarious situation!
Leng Ao Tian frowned, opening the letter
"Jingnan:
As a member of the Dragon Resisting Pavilion, it's almost time for you to accomplish great things for the Dragon Resisting Pavilion! The pavilion master was the heir to the throne chosen by the previous Grand Emperor, and he had pure blood. Leng AoTian was obviously usurping power to seize the position! "After the completion of the project, he will be promoted to the next rank, three levels in a row. The time has yet to be determined."
Dragon Resisting Pavilion.
Leng Ao Tian's face turned ashen, his cold brows furrowed, his deep eyes were emitting a terrifying cold aura, staring straight at the red mark at the bottom left corner of the letter! Was it Leng Aoyu?
"Your Majesty?!" Jian Chen looked at his master with some concern as an ominous premonition arose in his heart. The shocked expression on Leng AoTian's face was enough to show that the situation was far worse than they had imagined!
"I should have known it was his!" A bone-chilling coldness emerged on Leng Ao Tian's resolute face. His deep eyes narrowed, and his thin lips revealed a few words!
"Your Majesty! Do you know who is the leader of that mysterious organization? " Chu Jian, Xijue and the others looked at each other before turning to look at Leng AoTian!
"Heh ~ Not only do I know about it, I'm also very familiar with it! "He's the son of King Leng Ao Yu Ping, my cousin!" Once Leng AoTian shut his mouth, everyone was shocked!
"How is this possible?!" Wasn't the Prince of Pingping at the border, and had died of illness three years ago? Why did his son suddenly appear in the capital, and even want to rebel?! " Chu Jian didn't understand!
"That's right!" When royal father ascended the throne, I requested to stay far away from the borders. Later on, before my royal father died, he said that the Duke of Ping had evil intentions, and spread rumors that my royal grandfather had left him an edict, saying that if my royal father died, he would pass the position of heir to either the Duke of Ping or his descendants! However, this was completely illusory, who would have thought that Leng Aoyu would actually use this as a pretext to incite the hearts of the people! In the past, royal father had mercifully spared their lives, but who would have thought that they would become a scourge instead! " Leng Ao Tian held the letter tightly in his hand, his cold eyes flashing, looking straight ahead! Leng Aoyu...
Hearing this, Ye Hen walked up.
"Your majesty, according to the words on the letter, it is very likely that they will launch an army mutiny soon! Should we eliminate everyone who received the letter? " Although they had not been able to track down the Dragon Resisting Pavilion before this, they were well aware of the names of the officials they had contacted. This was because there was an envoy from the inner palace present in each of the court officials' houses!
"Don't! If Leng Aoyu discovered that something had happened to the officials who were in contact with him, he would definitely suspect that his plan had been leaked and would not make a move. That way, it would be difficult for us to catch a hold of his weakness, but on the other hand, it would be difficult for us to do nothing, lure him out, and at that time, we will capture all of the Dragon Resisting Pavilion! Ye Hen, go and tell one of the ministers to secretly subdue his family if there is any movement. Do not make any noise! I want to lure the snake out of its cave! " The low voice brought with it a bone-chilling coldness, the corners of Leng Ao Tian's mouth curled up into a determined arc. Leng Ao Yu, if you can stop him, in consideration for your brotherly feelings, I can let you go.
"Yes!" Ye Hen accepted the order.
Chasing Wind, Xijue! "The two of you must make a trip to each of the counties within five miles of the Imperial City within half a month to pay attention to the situation of the defending army there. If you discover any unusual movements, settle them on the spot!"
"Jian Chen, you should stay in the imperial city and secretly chase after Leng Aoyu's subordinates. I believe that there will be plenty of people in the imperial city!"
"Yes!"
"Listen up! If one day Leng Aoyu makes a move, Ye Hen, you order all the officials connected to him to make a decision. Xunfeng, Xijue, I will give you all the authority to mobilize all the troops within a hundred kilometers. You all heard it clearly?! " His dark eyes shone with a sharp light as they landed in the middle of the group. Coldness and arrogance could be seen in the eyes of the Heavenly Sword Peak. He knew what to do!
"Yes." Chu Jian Chen's group of four followed the imperial edict, their hearts filled with admiration for Leng Ao Tian!
"All of you can leave now!" Leng AoTian waved his hands casually, and the four of them left through the secret passageway!
After the four of them left, Leng Ao Tian returned to the Imperial Hall from the secret chamber. He saw Elder Li anxiously pacing up and down!
Leng Ao Tian coughed lightly, upon hearing that, Eunuch Li immediately ran over to Leng Ao Tian's side!
"Your Majesty …" 'This is bad … ' Eunuch Li's face was as pale as paper. His shrill voice was trembling, and the horsetail whisk in his hand was also trembling slightly!
"What is it?!" Leng Ao and Tian Han asked in a cold voice.
"Your Majesty …" Eunuch Li subconsciously looked around before turning his head back one more step to speak …
"Someone touched the Imperial Jade Seal!" With that said, Leng Ao Tian's face suddenly changed, his eyes were as cold as a deep pond, which meant, his guess was right, there was indeed Leng Ao Yu's spy in the palace! In truth, this Imperial Jade Seal was a trap set by Leng Ao Tian. Ever since Zhen Fei had disappeared, Leng Ao Tian had started to suspect that there was something strange going on in the imperial harem, but there was no evidence! This was why he wanted to use the Imperial Jade Seal to lure in the person who was causing all this trouble. He hadn't thought that he would gain an idea so quickly!
"Did you find everything out?" Leng Ao Tian said in a low voice, his heart guessing the most likely candidate, Su Man He! Because after she had entered the palace, the harem had been thrown into chaos, so she was most likely the culprit behind everything!
"Check …" Check it out! This old servant has left three pieces of printed paper on the Imperial Jade Seal. Apart from the one you used, there is only one more! "So someone must have used the imperial study, and even used a piece of printing paper …" Eunuch Li raised his eyes slightly to look at Leng Ao Tian's handsome face. At this moment, it was already completely filled with dark clouds, and he was wondering if he should continue with what he had to say.
"Who else has entered the royal study other than me?" A clear and cold voice overflowed like an ice pillar. As long as he heard Su Manhe's name, he would not show any mercy this time!
"Yes …" Yes... It's Imperial Concubine Xu … These days, you have instructed all the ministers to go to the outer palace hall, so none of the ministers outside the palace entered the imperial study! "Only the day before yesterday afternoon, Imperial Concubine Xu came to deliver Jiang Tang to you. At that time, due to the chaos in the imperial harem, the eunuchs who were secretly monitoring the imperial study came to the harem to help as well. Didn't they not see anything? Eunuch Li naturally did not believe that it was Xu Bixuan, so she tried her best to justify her words!
"It's definitely not Bi Xuan! Definitely not! If I remember correctly, didn't Imperial Concubine Xin not show her face when they were in the harem? Since the eunuchs who were secretly watching had not obtained anything, they could not make wild guesses! Eunuch Li, you may leave! If you fail the next time, don't blame me for punishing you! "Let's go down!"
"Yes …" Eunuch Li cowered and left the Imperial Hall, leaving only Leng AoTian behind. He was thinking about everything just now, it couldn't be Xu Bixuan! He firmly believed that!
In the Feather Pavilion, Eunuch Li's shrill voice came from outside just as the dishes were set up.
"The emperor has arrived …" Without waiting for Xu Bixuan to step out of the door to welcome him, Leng Ao Tian had already anxiously stepped into the pavilion!
This concubine greets Your Majesty." Xu Bixuan walked lightly to the front of Leng Ao Tian and bent her body slightly as she spoke in a soft voice.
"Bi Xuan, quickly get up! Why do you keep forgetting that This Emperor had said that there was no need for you to pay your respects!? Bi Xuan. This dish was prepared for me? " When Leng AoTian heard Little An's report that Xu Bixuan was going to invite him to the Yu Pavilion for dinner, he became extremely excited. Although he placed the matter of the Imperial Jade Seal in his heart, he still firmly believed that it wasn't Bi Xuan!
"Of course it's for the emperor! In the past few days, three of her older sisters had died tragically at the palace. Bi Xuan had been a vegetarian the entire time, and had heard from Eunuch Li that the emperor had not thought about food and tea for the past two days. Therefore, Bi Xuan invited the emperor over tonight in order for Emperor Shu's heart to calm down! " Xu Bixuan lightly pulled Leng AoTian into a seat!
"Bi Xuan … "Thank you …" Leng Ao Tian held onto Xu Bi Xuan's hand, a gentle light shining in his eyes. At this time, Little Peach Blossom's voice suddenly came from outside!
"Reporting to Your Majesty! Esteemed wangfei was diagnosed with dragon seeds by imperial doctors! I've sent a servant here to report … "
Hearing this, Leng Ao Tian was startled, his chest felt dull pain, and he didn't know what to do. He knitted his brows, then looked towards Xu Bi Xuan, his eyes filled with worry!
"Chenqie congratulates Your Majesty on getting too excited ~" Xu Bixuan's eyebrows raised slightly as she hurriedly stood up and greeted Leng AoTian. Leng AoTian hurriedly helped Xu Bixuan, who was about to kneel down, up.
"Bi Xuan … Sorry... "I don't …" He was afraid that Xu Bixuan would blame him, and he was even more afraid that she would think of Little Xue Yuan because of this. Oh god! Why did he have to play tricks on him!?
"Your Majesty! This is a good thing. How can I say I'm sorry? This chenqie was willing to accompany the Emperor to visit Consort Xin in the Purple Lai Pavilion. Who knew how long it had been! This concubine really hopes that the child can be safely born, then our harem will be much more lively! Don't you think so? Your Majesty?! " Delight filled Xu Bixuan's crystal clear eyes as she gently held Leng Ao Tian's hand. She impatiently pulled Leng Ao Tian out of the pavilion, but her heart was as cold as ice!
If Little Peach Blossom hadn't told her that Su Manhe was going to spread the news that she was giving birth tonight, she wouldn't have prepared this dinner, and she wouldn't have let Leng Ao Tian come over! She only had one goal, and that was to let Leng AoTian see her forced smile! Make him feel guilty again!
"Your Majesty! Previously, his subordinate and Liu Jingnan had set up a trap, but once the mysterious organization tried to rope him in, he was forced to pretend to cater to them. After a few contacts, Liu Jingnan was able to gain their trust, so the night before yesterday, they handed their final intent to Liu Jingnan through a letter.
