Chapter 1298 Ji Ling's little white rabbit was frightened, and the Ling brothers reacted
The more the emperor thought about it, the angrier he became. He clenched his fists and slammed them against the table. He then said angrily, "The inner medicine boy who was ambushing the Night Prince's Palace is dead. Now it won't be that easy to replace him with new people."
Xu Geng, the newly appointed leader of the Dragon Staff Guard, saw that the emperor was furious and spoke out to persuade the emperor to put the dragon's health first and ask the emperor to calm down!
A group of other trusted ministers, led by Dong Cun, also followed suit to dissuade the angry emperor.
But what’s the use of persuasion and comfort!
The emperor, who had been kept in the dark by the Night King for a long time, could not hear any comfort.
In addition, despite his rage, his muddled mind finally had some deeper thoughts.
Thinking back on all the important things Xiao Han had done during this period, like going north to investigate a case and suppressing a killer organization; making a high-profile appearance at the birthday banquet to discuss his leg ailment and the revenge incident, and attending the morning court to discuss state affairs; and even at the Yuexi Palace banquet, he secretly mentioned some old stories to himself, such as how Yun Mujiu alone cured his leg ailment, and how he had already recovered and was just too lazy to leak the news...
At this moment, Emperor Haolian finally realized some shocking events that the Night King intended to reveal.
It turned out that Ye Xiaohan had hidden many important things from him!
Firstly, Xiao Han’s high-profile actions of inviting Doctor Wu and his daughter to his house for treatment were all a cover!
At that time, he sent people to find Doctor Wu and his daughter into the palace, but learned that Doctor Wu and his daughter had already left. He sent many people out of the city to track down the two teams of Wei Song and Wei Bai, but he could not find Doctor Wu and his daughter at all, and he also lost a large number of his elite secret guards in the areas outside the capital.
In fact, Doctor Wu and his daughter are not important at all. The most important person from beginning to end is Yun Mujiu!
He had tried every possible means to plot against Doctor Wu and his daughter in order to murder the Night King and his wife. This plan was simply not feasible! If he had known earlier, it would have been better to get rid of Yun Mujiu first. What a pity!
Secondly, perhaps the mysterious man in black robe that his people met in the suburbs at that time was the incarnation of Ye Xiaohan?
The man was extremely skilled in martial arts. Not only did he injure a group of imperial guards and Dragon Staff Guards, he also burned down their camp, just like how Ye Xiaohan destroyed the Dragon Staff Guards' camp a few days ago.
……
"Damn it!" The more the emperor thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and the anger in his heart became more and more violent!
"My dear brother, you've kept this from me!" The emperor felt a pang of pain in his chest, his face filled with anger. "And yet I can't find any substantial evidence to prove all the things you've done in secret!"
"Is this what you wanted? To have me realize everything later, but with no one to hold accountable and no way to vent your anger!"
"Puff!" Bright red blood splashed in the air, interweaving with the floating dust suspended in the light column, creating a terrifying and lonely atmosphere.
"Your Majesty!" The ministers and doctors screamed heartbreakingly. Doctor Shi was horrified and thought to himself: "Your Majesty, please don't die now!"
...
In Qingxuan Palace, the Seventh Prince, who had performed well at the Yuexi Palace Banquet, was in high spirits and listened indifferently to Cangfeng's report on how many ministers were trying to get in touch with the Seventh Prince.
Ye Chufeng's performance improved, attracting a group of people who wanted to support him. The glory and climax that belonged only to the Seventh Prince gradually arrived.
But Ye Chufeng didn't react much. He wasn't overjoyed, nor was he panicked. He seemed to be the same dandy prince as before, maintaining his unfazed attitude.
At this time, a eunuch newly assigned to Qingxuan Palace by the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to report that the emperor had vomited blood and fainted.
Ye Chufeng curled his lips coldly, waved his wide sleeves, and walked slowly towards the direction of the emperor's bedroom.
...
In the Tenth Princess's residence, Princess Ji Ling held her face in her hands, her elbows resting against the open wooden window, her gentle and lovely face full of solemnity.
She had been looking forward to this Moonlit Palace Banquet for a long time. Initially, she had simply gone for the fun of attending a festive banquet, especially the chance to meet and chat with friends like Mu Jiu. However, after her first formal meeting and acquaintance with the two young masters of the Ling family at the Ye Palace, she had a different perspective on the Moonlit Palace Banquet.
As Yun Mujiu had said before, the Yuexi Palace Banquet was indeed an opportunity for Princess Ji Ling to get to know the two young masters of the Ling family better.
Princess Ji Ling also seized this opportunity. Although the situation at the banquet was changeable and complicated, and it was difficult to find the right time, she still found an opportunity in the later stage of the banquet.
At that time, everyone went out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony to watch the fireworks. Princess Ji Ling also went out. She glanced at where Ling Chiye was standing, and before she could prepare herself mentally, she was pushed out by Bai Yanshuang and You Luoyan.
Once you take a big step forward, you can never take it back.
Princess Ji Ling bravely stepped forward to greet the two young masters of the Ling family, and they politely responded. Ling Xingmu, for some unknown reason, took the initiative to leave, leaving his eldest brother standing alone facing Princess Ji Ling.
Next, there was a scene where Princess Ji Ling began to thank Ling Chiye.
"Thank you, Master Ling. The ancient jade from the Northern Realm you gave me is very beautiful."
She was too embarrassed to say it out loud, but she really liked that piece of ancient jade.
Ling Chiye rarely smiled. "As long as the princess likes it, I'm glad. When I return to the Northern Realm, I'll find a new piece of fine jade for her when I have the chance."
On the eve of the fireworks blooming all over the sky, the two of them continued to chat about the topic of "jade".
"Bang!" There was a sudden sound.
Perhaps she was lost in thought and didn't react, Princess Ji Ling was startled and curled up slightly. Before she could react, she saw Ling Chiye's tall figure blocking her way, looking down at her with a hint of concern.
Countless fireworks were blooming in the sky above Ling Chiye. Princess Ji Ling heard the loud sound of fireworks exploding like thunder, and she felt like a frightened little white rabbit.
The evening breeze blew gently, carrying a strong chill and the pungent smell of gunpowder. Ling Chiye, with his tall and imposing figure, stood directly in front of Princess Ji Ling.
Princess Ji Ling was stunned, looking back at Ling Chiye bewilderedly. Amid the explosions, she couldn't hear what the man across from her was saying. She could only stare intently at his lips, using her less-than-skilled lip-reading skills.
What Princess Ji Ling didn't know was that in a corner not far from her and Ling Chiye, Ling Xingmu's pair of dark eyes were also looking over here...
