Hearing Zhu Houzhao's question, Yu Huatian quickly replied respectfully,"Reporting to the emperor, the empress dowager…the empress dowager has been kidnapped.”
Hearing Yu Huatian's words, Zhu Houzhao's eyes flashed slightly. The current timeline was very different from the original drama. He did not expect the Empress Dowager to be kidnapped.
It seemed that the so-called marriage alliance in the Yun Nation was indeed a conspiracy.
As he thought, Zhu Houzhao said coldly,""Who is so bold as to dare abduct the Empress Dowager! Did you find any clues?”
Yu Huatian bowed and said," Please forgive me, Your Majesty. The safety of the Cining Palace is guarded by the East Chamber. When the West Chamber received the news and rushed over, the Empress Dowager had already disappeared." However, I have already sent Ma Jinliang, Tan Lu Zi, and Ji Xueyong to investigate.”
Just as Zhu Houzhao was about to say something, he saw a group of people quickly rushing over.
The leader was Cao Zhengchun, the supervisor of the East Chamber.
Behind Cao Zhengchun was a group of East Factory guards.
"This servant greets the emperor!"
Seeing Zhu Houzhao, Cao Zhengchun and the guards of the East Chamber bowed respectfully to him.
Zhu Houzhao glanced at Cao Zhengchun and said coldly,""You still have the face to see me? The Empress Dowager was kidnapped in her bedroom. Is this how the East Chamber protects her? The Imperial Court invested a large amount of money and food, but did it raise a bunch of useless people like you?”
"If the East Chamber is filled with incompetent people, I don't mind dismissing you and the entire East Chamber, and letting the West Chamber take over all your positions!”
"Your Majesty, please calm down. This servant deserves to die ten thousand deaths, deserves to die ten thousand deaths!”
Hearing Zhu Houzhao's angry rebuke, Cao Zhengchun hurriedly knelt down and greeted him respectfully.
"What's going on?" Zhu Houzhao asked coldly. How did the Empress Dowager get kidnapped?"
Cao Zhengchun said," I heard the secret signal at the police post in the middle of the night and learned that an assassin had broken into the palace. So, I rushed out. I didn't expect that I would fall into a trap to lure the tiger away from the mountain.”
"Although this servant killed seven assassins, five other experts still broke into Cining Palace and killed the eunuchs and palace maids. When this servant arrived, the Empress Dowager's carriage was no longer in the palace.”
Zhu Houzhao continued to ask,"Did you catch any survivors?"”
Hearing this, Cao Zhengchun hesitated for a moment before saying softly,""We caught four people, but they bit the poison sacs in their wounds and committed suicide.”
Zhu Houzhao sneered and said sarcastically,""Supervisor Cao, is this the answer you gave me? I really doubt your ability to be the supervisor of the East Chamber!”
Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Cao Zhengchun hurriedly kowtowed and said,""Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please give this servant another chance. This servant will definitely save the Empress Dowager as soon as possible.”
Zhu Houzhao looked deeply at Cao Zhengchun. After a long while, he said to Cao Zhengchun,""Then Zhen will give you one more chance. Three days, save the Empress Dowager within three days. Otherwise, you can forget about being the supervisor of the East Chamber!”
"Yes, don't worry, emperor. Within three days, this servant will definitely save the empress dowager!”Cao Zhengchun quickly greeted Zhu Houzhao respectfully.
Zhu Houzhao glanced at Cao Zhengchun and said lightly,""Get lost!"
"Yes, yes, this servant will get lost now!"
Cao Zhengchun quickly got up and left the Sutra Depository with his guards.
After Cao Zhengchun left, Zhu Houzhao looked at Yu Huatian and said,"Although Cao Zhengchun and the people of the East Chamber have already begun to search for the Empress Dowager, I don't really believe in their abilities. Your West Hall must also increase your efforts to save the Empress Dowager as soon as possible.”
"Yes, I will!"
Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Yu Huatian hurriedly greeted respectfully.
Zhu Houzhao pondered for a moment and then said lightly,""You have to pay more attention to the state guesthouse where the emissary of the Yun Nation is staying.”
" Yes, Your Majesty." Yu Huatian hurriedly replied respectfully.
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand at Yu Huatian and said indifferently,"You may leave!"
"I will take my leave!"
Yu Huatian replied to Zhu Houzhao and left with the people from the West Military District.
After the people of the West Hall left, Zhu Houzhao glanced at the old eunuch at the entrance of the Scripture Depository, then turned to Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun and said indifferently,""Let's go."
" Yes, Your Majesty." Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun agreed at the same time after hearing Zhu Houzhao's order. They then followed behind Zhu Houzhao and headed towards his bedroom.
" Farewell, Your Majesty." The old eunuch in red stood behind Zhu Houzhao and respectfully greeted him.
Looking in the direction Zhu Houzhao left, the old eunuch's eyes lit up.
After returning to his bedroom, Zhu Houzhao asked Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun to stand guard outside while he went straight into the bedroom to rest.
As for the Empress Dowager's matter, there were naturally people from the East and West Chambers to investigate. He did not need to stay up late.
After all, Zhu Houzhao and the Empress Dowager didn't have any kinship.
While the entire capital was in chaos because of the Empress Dowager's disappearance, Zhu Houzhao had a good sleep.
The next morning, Zhu Houzhao woke up slowly and quickly finished washing up with the help of the palace maids.
After washing up, they began to enjoy their breakfast.
"Your Majesty, Divine Marquis Ironguts and Divine Marquis Zhuge are here to see you.”
Zhu Houzhao had just finished his breakfast when the eunuch on duty's voice sounded at the door.
