"Your Majesty, Supervisor Cao of the East Chamber requests an audience.”
Outside the Palace of Heavenly Purity, the eunuch's voice rang out, causing everyone in the hall to involuntarily look at the door behind them.
"Get him in here!"
"I want to see what kind of explanation he, the supervisor of the East Chamber, wants to give me.”
Anger rose between Zhu Houzhao's brows. His predecessor was almost killed in the imperial garden. Cao Zhengchun, the East Bureau, and the Jinyiwei would never be able to escape the crime of dereliction of duty.
"Your Majesty, Ironguts is here as well.”
"Divine Marquis…"
Zhu Houzhao looked at Mo Ya and the others and said,""You guys go to the back of the hall and hide. Now is not the time for you to be exposed. Without my permission, no one is allowed to come out.”
"But don't hide it too well!”
A mysterious smile appeared on Zhu Houzhao's face.
"Yes, sir!"
Ink Crow, White Phoenix, Parrot Song, and Red Owl's lightness skills were the best in the world. After they understood what was going on, they disappeared right before the eyes of the people from West Hall like afterimages blown away by a breeze.
"What a fast movement technique."
Yu Huatian was secretly shocked. The four commanders of the other force supported by the Emperor in the martial world were actually so powerful. Even he could not help but sigh at their ghost-like qinggong.
Behind him, Su Huirong, Ma Jinliang, and the others looked as if they had seen a ghost.
Even Yu Huatian could barely catch the afterimages of Mo Ya and the others leaving, but they did not even know how Mo Ya and Bai Feng had left.
In other words, if they were enemies with the Hundred Birds organization.
He might not even know how he died.
Hundred Birds Organization!
Yu Huatian, the three heads of the West Branch, and Su Huirong all remembered this name.
Zhu Houzhao naturally saw their shock and fear. His gaze passed Yu Huatian and landed on the three heads of the West Hall."Watch your mouths!"
"Yes, sir!"
Ma Jinliang and the other two's expressions tensed up, and they didn't dare to think too much about it.
Before the Emperor's hidden trump card was revealed, if the news spread out…
Even they wouldn't be able to escape punishment.
Zhu Houzhao looked at their reactions and nodded in satisfaction. He gestured to the eunuch outside the door to invite Zhu Bujue and Cao Zhengchun in.
"This subject greets the emperor."
"Servant Cao Zhengchun greets the emperor.”
"Imperial Uncle, Eunuch Cao, please don't stand on ceremony." Zhu Houzhao waved his hand.”
"Thank you, Emperor!"
Cao Zhengchun and Zhu Budian said in unison.
"Have you found out what happened?”
Zhu Houzhao didn't waste any words. Since Cao Zhengchun and Zhu Bujue had appeared in front of him, it meant that even if the truth hadn't been revealed, there should be some clues.
"Replying to the Emperor!"
Cao Zhengchun hesitated for a moment before shaking his head."" Overnight, all the guards, palace maids, and eunuchs who were imprisoned in the imperial prison have been investigated several times. The intelligence agency of the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa of the Divine Marquis has searched with all their might, and they have even invited the world's number one detective, Zhang Jinjiu, to investigate together. So far, the conclusion is the same as mine, but..."
"But what?"
"Coincidence? Accident? Or do I want to die?"
"The Brocade Moon Pond is no more than five feet deep. When I passed by the Brocade Moon Pond, I suddenly fainted. I actually fell into the water three feet away from the pond and almost drowned. Is this the answer you gave me? This is your accident, your coincidence?"
Zhu Houzhao was furious. He pointed at Cao Zhengchun and roared,""Cao Zhengchun, if the East Intelligence Bureau is full of useless people, I don't mind dismissing you and the entire East Intelligence Bureau.”
"Emperor, please calm down, please calm down!”
Faced with Zhu Houzhao's severe reprimand and questioning, Cao Zhengchun was so scared that he lost his face. He knelt in front of Zhu Houzhao and kowtowed repeatedly,""This servant will go back and continue to investigate, continue to investigate, I will definitely give the emperor a satisfactory answer.”
"Three days. I will give you three more days. Then I have to consider whether you are qualified to be the supervisor of the East Chamber.”Zhu Houzhao's face was filled with dissatisfaction as he said coldly.
The governor of the East Chamber refers to Xuanzong's teacher?
In front of him, Cao Zhengchun was just a servant, an obedient dog.
If this dog was useless, then there was no need for it to continue existing.
"Hurry up and get lost!"
"Yes, yes! Your Majesty, please calm down. This servant will scram now!"
Cao Zhengchun hurriedly got up, completely ignoring the blood stain on his forehead. He quickly turned around and left the Palace of Heavenly Purity. His anger and killing intent intertwined as he headed towards the Heaven Prison.
Coincidence? Accident?
After hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Cao Zhengchun no longer felt that this was an accident.
.....
After Cao Zhengchun left, the anger on Zhu Houzhao's face lessened a little, but his dissatisfaction was still apparent. He turned to the silent Iron-guts Divine Marquis, Zhu Budian, and said,"Imperial Uncle, what did the Dragon Guard Mountain Villa find out?”
"Emperor, I'm useless!"
Zhu Budian sighed and bowed.""The information from the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa and the first investigation by the world's best detective, Zhang Jinjiu, are exactly the same as what Cao Zhengchun said.”
It had only been one night. The time was too short.
If it wasn't for Zhu Bujue and Cao Zhengchun rushing into the palace to confirm Zhu Houzhao's safety upon hearing that he had woken up, they wouldn't have come to such an absurd conclusion.
"However, after listening to the emperor's words, this lowly official already has some ideas.”
Zhu Bujue's expression was very ugly. His nephew Zhu Houzhao was young and healthy. Although he did not know martial arts, he was the emperor. With the help of the imperial doctor, he was much healthier than ordinary people.
Suddenly, he fainted in the Brocade Moon Pond.
This in itself was a big doubt.
When a normal person fainted, they would either fall forward or backward, or directly fall to the ground. How could they fall from three feet away from the Brocade Moon Pond into the cold water and almost drown?
This was the second suspicious point.
It was already winter, and the water in the pond was bone-chilling. Unless one had completely fainted or had their sleeping acupoints pressed, the bone-chilling cold was enough to wake up anyone who had fainted normally. However, Zhu Houzhao had almost drowned in the Brocade Moon Pond.
This is the third doubtful point.
With these three suspicious points, Zhu Bujue would not believe that someone did not intend to kill the emperor.
If there were too many coincidences, it wouldn't be a coincidence.
"Then Imperial Uncle, investigate as soon as possible!"
Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhu Buduan's expression seriously. Even though he had the memories of his previous life and knew Zhu Buduan's character, he still could not see anything from Zhu Buduan's face. He could only shake his head helplessly.
"Yes, I will take my leave first!"
Zhu Bujue laughed bitterly in his heart. He could see the suspicion in Zhu Houzhao's eyes, but he could not refute it. After all, he was the current Imperial Uncle, the Iron Gut Marquis of the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa, and one of the princes most likely to ascend to the throne after Zhu Houzhao's accident.
However, when Zhu Buduan turned around and left, he glanced at the people from the West Hall.
