196. Entering the Eastern Palace: The Means of the Emperor's Grandson
Sure enough, not long after, even Emperor Hong'an's imperial physician had not even entered the East Palace. Xuanyuan Zhiluo led a large group of people straight to the East Palace, and happened to bump into Xuanyuan Zhichen who was going to the morning court.
"My brother, please give my second brother my regards." Xuanyuan Zhiluo greeted Xuanyuan Zhichen and immediately stepped forward to salute.
Xuanyuan Zhichen looked at Yu Linjun behind Xuanyuan Zhiluo, with a gentle and indifferent smile still on his lips: "Which song did the fourth brother sing this morning?" Xuanyuan Zhichen didn't wait for Xuanyuan Zhiluo to answer.
Chen's smile faded, and he flicked the apricot-yellow five-clawed dragon python robe, "Did I do something treacherous and unethical that angered my father, and my father asked my fourth brother to come to the king?"
Being slapped with such a big label by Xuanyuan Zhichen, Xuanyuan Zhiluo's eyes flashed, but he bowed respectfully and explained: "Second brother misunderstood, an assassin broke into Changle Palace last night, the concubine..." As he said this,
, there was a hint of sadness in Xuanyuan Zhiluo's words, "The concubine was killed, and my brother was ordered by his father to capture the assassin who was still hiding in the palace. I hope my second brother will do it for me and not embarrass my younger brother."
"What a joke, if you catch your assassin, how can I stop you? What's more, you have the emperor's mandate, how can I embarrass you?" Xuanyuan Zhichen looked at Xuanyuan Zhiluo coldly, "According to what my fourth brother said, you
Are you suspecting that assassins have infiltrated the East Palace?"
"Yes." Xuanyuan Zhiluo answered neatly.
"Okay, in that case, Gu will let you search to avoid spreading the news. People who don't know may think that Gu is harboring the assassin, or..." Xuanyuan Zhichen paused deliberately and looked at Xuanyuan Zhiluo meaningfully, "Or maybe he thought that the assassin was hiding.
He is a lonely person."
"Brother I don't dare!" Xuanyuan Zhiluo said hurriedly.
Xuanyuan Zhichen smiled coldly, turned to one side, and the eunuch Gong E behind him naturally gave way: "Fourth brother, please come."
Xuanyuan Zhiluo's cold and sharp phoenix eyes flickered, and he hesitated for a moment. However, after shaking the silver hairpin in his hand, his eyes turned firm again: "I'm sorry, second brother."
After saying this, Xuanyuan Zhiluo waved his hand and led hundreds of Yulin troops into the East Palace.
Standing in the main courtyard of the East Palace, I looked at Xuanyuan Zhichen who was standing beside him with his hands clasped behind his back. He couldn't see Xuanyuan Zhichen calming down. Xuanyuan Zhiluo told his two generals Su Rong: "Search carefully and don't offend."
The two generals naturally knew what serious consequences this search would have if there were no results, so they naturally accepted the order respectfully and led a group of people to conduct the search quietly, not even daring to make any loud noise.
The East Palace said it was big or small, but hundreds of people still searched for half an hour before searching most of it. Xuanyuan Zhiluo watched a small group of Yulin troops come back without finding anything, and a sharp look gradually appeared in his eyes.
"Back to your lord, the servants and others did not find the assassin." A general bravely reported back with Xuanyuan Zhiluo's gloomy face in front of him.
"Have you searched all places?" Xuanyuan Zhiluo obviously believed that the assassin was in the East Palace.
"Your Majesty..." The general hesitated.
"Say." Xuanyuan Zhiluo's voice was loud and clear.
The general was so frightened that he shook his body and immediately replied: "In addition to the inner palace, there is also Chaoxia Palace that has not been searched."
When Xuanyuan Zhiluo heard this, his expression changed and he looked at Xuanyuan Zhichen, who was about to speak but hesitated.
"What? The fourth brother wants these minions to search the inner palace?" Xuanyuan Zhichen met Xuanyuan Zhiluo's gaze. There was nothing visible on his face, but his cold voice showed full of anger.
