Chapter 466: Help him out
After so many assassins with high martial arts skills entered the Night King's Mansion, they were all caught in one fell swoop without even touching Ji Yuntang's clothes.
It was the first time that Ji Huaiche realized how terrifying Ji Yuntang was.
He suddenly felt that perhaps the other party was still tolerant of them because of their blood relationship.
Otherwise, given the way the Yongning Marquisate provoked Ji Yuntang, if she had been more brutal, wouldn't they have been killed by her long ago?
While Ji Huaiche was feeling thankful, he decided to try not to get involved in this flood, otherwise he might die without knowing how.
After checking all the bodies, Luo Sinian did not find any marks or identity tokens on them.
But what he was sure of was that these people could not be spies from the Southern Kingdom.
If spies from the South entered the capital, it would be impossible for the people in the City Wall Patrol Camp to find no clues at all.
Furthermore, their target was the Night Palace. Luo Junhe was already disabled and posed no threat to the Southern Kingdom. There was no need for them to send so many people to assassinate him.
Ji Yuntang had been living in Dongchen Kingdom and had never been to the South Kingdom, so the other party would not send someone to assassinate her.
Therefore, the people sent to kill them could only be from Dongchen Country.
Perhaps, this person has always been by Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe's side, and they are also very familiar with this person.
Luo Sinian told Ji Yuntang his analysis, "Third sister-in-law, think carefully, have you and Third brother harmed the interests of others or offended anyone in the capital?"
"That's too many!" Ji Yuntang started counting on his fingers.
"Your father, Concubine Li, Concubine Chu, Luo Feizhou, Luo Jingshen, Luo Qianxue, the Yongning Marquisate and their family..."
"Stop, stop, stop," Luo Sinian interrupted Ji Yuntang before she finished counting.
"Third sister-in-law, you have offended everyone in the royal family. If you continue to count, I'm afraid ten fingers won't be enough."
Ji Yuntang raised his eyebrows and smiled, "That's right, they all wanted to kill me, but in the end, I made them all very angry."
Luo Sinian was helpless. He didn't know whether to praise Ji Yuntang for being so capable or to say that she was too hardworking!
He said: "It is impossible to tell who wants to kill you. Why don't we go to the palace and ask our father to judge!"
Ji Yuntang said: "Okay, this princess also thinks that the emperor will definitely give justice to the Ye Palace."
The main purpose of entering the palace this time was not for herself, but for Luo Sinian.
It would be so interesting if I were lucky enough to meet the prince in the palace again!
Imperial Palace, Council Hall.
When Emperor Jingyang learned that Ji Yuntang had come again, he was completely overwhelmed.
Whenever she came to the government hall, nothing good happened.
This time, the Night Prince's Mansion was assassinated in the middle of the night, and Ji Yuntang came to the door now. Emperor Jingyang knew what she wanted to do just by thinking with his toes.
"Zhang Fugui, I don't want to see her. Tell her that I'm not feeling well today and ask her to come another day."
"I obey your order." Eunuch Zhang came out, but not long after, he ran in again in a panic.
Ji Yuntang's voice could be heard from the door, "Father is not feeling well, so naturally, your daughter-in-law should come over to help him. It just so happens that there is a medicine box in your carriage, so your daughter-in-law will help you take a look."
Emperor Jingyang's face was frighteningly cold. Eunuch Zhang had a sad face and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I did what you said, but Princess Ye insisted on coming over to take your pulse. I couldn't stop her at all. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
"Ji Yuntang, you are so bold that you even dare to disobey my orders!"
Emperor Jingyang's chest was heaving with anger. He angrily threw the memorial at Ji Yuntang, but she caught it.
Ji Yuntang said with a smile: "Don't be angry, don't be angry. Being angry gives room to the devil. Father is old now, so we should keep a happy mood."
It would have been better if she didn't say it, but after she said it, Emperor Jingyang became even angrier!
Luo Sinian came in a little later than Ji Yuntang. When he came, he was holding a medicine box in his hand.
When Emperor Jingyang saw this, he was immediately furious, "What? Are you also starting to disobey me with her?"
"Father, please forgive me. Third Sister-in-law didn't do it on purpose. She really has something to report to you, and there is no time to delay."
"Five hundred black-clad assassins broke into the Night Prince's Mansion last night. They hacked and set fire to anyone they saw. Fortunately, I was patrolling near the Night Prince's Mansion that night. When I found out something was wrong, I led the patrol camp over there in time and held back some of the assassins. Later, Miss Pei also brought people to help us, and we were able to wipe out all the assassins."
"Although there were no casualties in the Ye Palace last night, this move is undoubtedly a provocation to the royal family. The person behind it does not take our Dongchen Kingdom seriously at all."
"I think this is not only closely related to the safety of the Night Palace, but also has seriously threatened the safety of the people of the entire imperial city. Now the bodies of the assassins are still lying in the Dali Temple. I hope your Majesty will make the decision."
The news was spreading outside early this morning. Emperor Jingyang had heard about it a long time ago. He even complained at the time that these assassins were really useless. So many people couldn't even kill Ji Yuntang.
But now, Luo Sinian has linked the matter to the safety of the imperial city, and Emperor Jingyang can only pretend to be ignorant.
He was surprised and asked, "Is there such a thing?"
"Who arranged the assassination? Have you two found out who is behind it?"
Luo Sinian shook his head and said, "I am incompetent and have not found the mastermind behind this."
Emperor Jingyang glanced at him, with undisguised mockery in his eyes.
"You are indeed quite incompetent. If you had captured just one of the five hundred assassins and pried open their mouths, wouldn't you have been able to get everything out of them?"
"Do you still need me to teach you this little thing?"
Luo Sinian's face turned pale and he lowered his eyes.
It's fine if someone else said this, but it's quite hurtful when it comes from Emperor Jingyang's mouth.
From childhood to adulthood, Emperor Jingyang had only been constantly belittling him, and he had never heard a word of praise or encouragement from Emperor Jingyang's mouth.
It was because his mother was of low status that he was not valued since birth.
Luo Sinian endured it and said nothing, but Ji Yuntang couldn't bear it anymore.
She stood up and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Chen did capture someone alive, but all those who came were assassins. They all hid poison in their mouths, and after being captured, they all bit the poison and died!"
"He helped me and saved the people in the Night Palace. I think he has done a good job and fulfilled his responsibilities."
"He saved people, which is a great deed. The emperor himself said before that those who have made great contributions and saved many lives should be promoted and given a salary increase. Do you still remember this sentence?"
