In the Great Ming Imperial Palace.
In the royal study.
The Great Empress of the Daming Empire was currently sitting on the dragon throne.
Her flawless face carried a faint dignity. The nine-clawed dragon robe on her body added a hint of holiness and nobility, making her look dignified.
In front of her stood a guard who was responsible for delivering messages. He was half-kneeling on the ground in fear.
The empress fiercely flicked her sleeves and overturned everything on the table in front of her, making a series of cracking sounds.
Yu Yan had a trace of anger on her face as she coldly berated.
"A bunch of trash. It's been so many days, but you don't even know who did it behind the scenes! One day, when those traitors charge into the palace, won't I lose my life without knowing who the assassin is?!”
A man in a python robe with a dignified expression and a slight resemblance to Lu Yi said.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. This time, Ye Gucheng has entered the capital with ill intentions. The most important thing now is to figure out how many forces they have. I believe that if the Jinyiwei and Six Fan School are given some time, we will definitely be able to find out their origins!”
"Lu Shaofu, you also know that not long after I ascended the throne, Imperial Uncle and the others have been coveting my throne and have always wanted to usurp it. Other than you, I don't even dare to trust the people from the East and West Factories.”
The young girl in dragon robes sighed softly with a trace of fatigue on her beautiful and exquisite face.
"And that Shuntian Prefecture Magistrate is right under my feet, yet he has signs of rebellion. How can I feel at ease? Moreover, it is about time for the Heaven's Secrets Ranking to be revealed, and I don't know if the fate of the Daming Empire will prosper.”
Other than Lu Bing, the young master who was loyal to the late emperor, and Zhuge, the Grand Tutor of the Six Fan School, the rest of the people were either still watching or had already been roped in by other kings. There were not many people who firmly stood on the empress's side.
Lu Bing frowned and said in a deep voice.
"This Shuntian Prefect must have secretly colluded with a certain prince. However, his death should make that prince refrain from acting rashly. The most important thing now was to find out the purpose of Ye Gucheng and whether there were any traces of other people besides Ye Gucheng.”
"Speaking of which, it was all thanks to Lu Shaofu's son that we were able to capture Shuntian Prefect. Thousand-man Lu is really young and promising. Speaking of which, he is still unmarried.”
"Your Majesty, you praise me too much. It is Yi 'er's blessing to be able to share your worries. As for the engagement, the ninth princess is a daughter of a thousand gold, and Yi 'er is not a good match, please think twice.”
"If everyone else can be as loyal and patriotic as Lu Shaofu, I don't have to worry so much. The Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa had not made any moves so far. They probably wanted to watch from the sidelines.”
A look of exhaustion and helplessness appeared on her face.
The mission was supposed to be carried out by Six Fan School, Jinyiwei, and Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa, but there was no movement from Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa.
It seemed like he wanted to watch from the sidelines.
"Report! Your Majesty!"
At this moment, a guard suddenly stumbled in from outside.
The empress frowned and said unhappily.
"What's the matter? Why are you so flustered?”
"There's news from the Six Fan School. With Lu Yi's help, they discovered that there were people from the Dayuan Empire among the assassins.”
"What? There were actually people from the Great Yuan Empire? As expected, these foreign races could no longer sit still! You want to take advantage of me, Da Ming, who hasn't stabilized his footing to attack! Other than that, were there any other noteworthy news recently?”
"Yesterday, Lord Lu Yi killed the Yin Sunflower Sect's Elder Mo Yin Bian who caused trouble in the capital. Today, he defeated Coldblood.”
Upon hearing the guard's report, the empress's face lit up with joy as she laughed.
"Good, as expected of Lu Shaofu's son. As expected, the student has surpassed the master! He was a hundred times stronger than those trash! Speaking of which, I remember that the position of the South Town Commissioner has always been vacant. Pass on my order that because Lu Yi has guarded the order of Jingdou and has made contributions in investigating the thieves, Lu Yi will be promoted to the position of the South Town Commissioner of the Brocade Guards. He will be given a python robe and a reward of 1,000 taels!”
Lu Bing, who was standing at the side, was also shocked.
He knew that this son of his had always had an outstanding temperament.
But when did he become so skilled? How could he not know about it?!
It was fine if he was cold-blooded, but that Hidden Demon Bian Bufu was a famous Upper Sky Realm expert. Even he was only slightly better than him.
Lu Yi could easily take down the two of them.
Could it be that he had always neglected Lu Yi's talent in martial arts?!
Lu Bing said quickly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I thank you in advance on behalf of Yi 'er.”
Seeing that she had Lu Yi as her help, the empress couldn't hide the smile on her beautiful face.
"Young Master Fu has taught his son well. It's really my great fortune!”
Lu Bing couldn't help but wipe his forehead as he said with a bit of sweat.
"Your Majesty, you praise me too much.”
Following the emperor's order, they left the palace.
On the other side, Lu Yi had just arrived at the North Town Administrative Office.
Ambassador Gao, who was pacing on the spot, saw Lu Yi's figure and instantly said with joy.
"Lord Lu, you came at the right time. There's a letter from Six Fan School!”
Lu Yi frowned and asked.
"What is it?"
"Six Fan School said that according to their intelligence, they have already found the hiding place of the people of the Great Yuan Empire!”
"What? That's great!"
When Lu Yi heard this, an overjoyed expression instantly appeared on his face.
Very good. Since these people from the Da Yuan Empire dared to come here to cause trouble for them, then they should all stay here!
