The left prime minister said again: "Just rest for two days, I won't let you be wronged and lose your official position."
Qi Xiuyou kowtowed to him repeatedly.
Prime Minister Zuo waved his hand and summoned his confidant butler, "Go and return to Beijing to deliver a message to the old man. Just tell him that I am seriously ill, but you can't say that I was asked to deliver the message, so I will get better quietly."
The butler had a lot to do, so naturally he took notice of it and immediately repeated what he was going to say to the old man.
The Prime Minister Zuo heard what he said and nodded, waving his hand for him to do it. He also comforted Qi Xiuyou a few words and asked him to go back and rest first.
After Qi Xiuyou left, Prime Minister Zuo gave another order: "Send people to go south immediately and send a message to several governors in the south of the Yangtze River. Always pay attention to the news and act according to the established plan."
The confidant agreed and immediately drafted a secret letter and showed it to the left prime minister. He raised his eyebrows and snorted proudly, "Very good!"
In the central palace, Huangfu Jue and Su Mo had already entered the palace and were waiting in front of the emperor with Song Mingyang.
The palace was very quiet. After a long time, the emperor waved his hand and asked someone to bring Su Renyu and King Qi.
He glanced at Huangfu Jue, then at Su Mo, as if he was thinking about something, and finally lowered his head and sighed.
Soon, Su Renyu and Huangfu Jin arrived. They knelt down. Su Renyu apologized, but Huangfu Jin said nothing.
Anger appeared on the emperor's brows again, and he looked at Huangfu Jin coldly, "Honestly, at that time you were sure that you would kill him with one slap, right?"
Huangfu Jin raised his eyebrows, "Er Chen's palm was not solid. If he was really an assassin, he could not have been killed. It was just an internal injury. With his level of cultivation, he would be able to heal in two or three months."
It’s too much. As for being caught in the kitchen and committing suicide by taking poison, Erchen thought it was really ridiculous. So cowardly..."
"Shut up!" The emperor was furious and shouted, "You didn't stop the assassin and let him run away. Now you still have the nerve to speak out. He is not an assassin, so I order you to capture the assassin!"
Huangfu Jin raised his head and looked at him fearlessly, his eyes full of ridicule. Facing the emperor's provocation, he just couldn't calm down.
As soon as the assassin appeared, he became more and more convinced that the emperor was acting on his own, deceiving the civil and military officials of the court for his so-called imperial power, and plausibly criticizing this and that.
How ridiculous!
Su Mo saw how Huangfu Jin lost control as soon as he met the emperor. It seemed that the father and son were born with animosity and would fight whenever they met.
