Chapter 148 Choose one of the two

Ling Yue did not continue to ask anything, but she knew that the assassin who assassinated Emperor Xia was none other than Wu. The reason why Ling Yue knew was just a coincidence. Late at night, when Ling Yue walked out of the file room of the Supervision Institute, she found that Wu Yong was wiping a cold sword, and his eyes were full of murder.

Thinking of the assassination at dawn, Ling Yue guessed that the assassin was probably Wu Yong, so she tried it with words. After that, she was completely sure that the murderer was Wu Yong.

In Qinghe Hall, Ling Yue carefully explained the question of why the sun would not fall, but after that, Liuye asked countless questions one after another. Ling Yue regretted why she did not bring 100,000 books to cross here. However, at that time, there was probably no time to get 100,000 reasons, because she was scared out of balance by the guy who suddenly rushed in and fell downstairs.

Speaking of which, I don't know what happened to that guy. If he hadn't suddenly pushed the door in, what would he look like now?

"Ryu Ye, I really regret not bringing you 100,000 reasons." Ling Yue picked up the teacup and explained for nearly two hours, which really made her feel thirsty.

Liu Ye said, "Can I ask another question?"

"Ask, it's a good habit to ask questions." Ling Yue said with a smile, "Anyway, I've talked so much, and there's no difference."

"Why did Wu Yong assassinate the emperor?"

"Eh? How do you know Liu Ye?

"Bloody smell, Wu Yong's body smells of blood."

"So that's it, but I don't know why he assassinated Emperor Xia." Ling Yue frowned slightly, "Not only that, I can't find any of his files and materials, at least before entering the supervisory institute."

"It was deliberately hidden."

"Maybe." Ling Yue said, "However, according to the time, the emperor will die in half a year. I think it should be because of Wu Yong's action."

"Actually, I have a feeling that the assassinated emperor may not be Wu."

"Hm?" Ling Yue put down the teacup and asked doubtfully, "Why do you think so?"

"Intuition, although Wu Yong's body smells of blood, it does not mean that he is an assassin, and Wu's martial arts skills are not high enough to avoid the search of the Yulin army." Liu Ye said, "Although Zhu Chi is not capable, he is not a vegetarian."

Ling Yue waved her hand and poured a cup of tea for herself: "Louye, let's not interfere in this matter. Anyway, this matter involves the assassination of the emperor. It's unpleasant to say. Maybe this is a play directed and acted by the emperor. In the name of the assassin, the court officials were purged, just as he once slaughtered the court ministers of the whole country in the name of the assassin. As long as everything is related to Emperor Xia, it will be ignored in the end. So this time we just need to wait and see what happens.

Regarding this assassin incident, although Ling Yue knows that it was done by Wu Yong, it is not 100% certain. After all, there are exceptions to everything.

In half a year, Emperor Xia is about to death, that is to say, Xia Wuchen will return to the State of Xia and inherit the throne, and at that time, the State of Jin will also launch a mutiny against the State of Xia. Does that mean that the Golden Emperor will also dies at about the same time? All kinds of problems were placed in front of Ling Yue, which made her have no clue.

At night, a decree plunged the whole palace into fear again. More than 20 officials were pushed out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded. Blood permeated outside the palace gate, and even the wailing of those people before their death could be heard.

In the Queen's Hall, Yi Chuguan kept knocking on the table with his hands, because this assassin incident was too strange. Emperor Xia did not hold the lieutenant responsible for arresting the assassin, but beheaded more than 20 unrelated officials to the public. What is the reason? Yi Chuguan couldn't see the doorway clearly, but Li Jingluo found the subtle clues in it. Those officials were all officials he was going to train further, and all of them were beheaded before they became his own power.

Qinlan has also been less with Yi Chuguan recently. She often stands alone in the yard or stays in the room drinking tea, so Yi Chuguan doesn't pay attention to it. Therefore, it was replaced by Zheng Shang Palace, which has been in the palace for decades.

Zheng Shanggong, who served the new queen for a period of time, knew that once the queen kept knocking on the table, she said that there must be something to think about. So at this time, Zheng Shanggong will make a pot of tea and put it next to Yi Chuguan without disturbing it.

Of course, tea is characteristic, which not only does not affect the fetus in the abdomen, but also needs to be used to fetuses.

Standing outside the door, Zheng Shanggong saw Qinlan sitting on the cloister from afar. After many years of reading her, countless people told her that Qinlan was definitely not a slave, because Zheng Shanggong actually saw a little aristocratic feeling in Qinlan's body. The stunning beauty between her eyebrows also clearly shows that she is by no means ordinary. However, what worries Zheng Shanggong most is Yi Chuguan, who is less than 20 years old. The unspeakable feeling is that she is always very afraid of the new queen.

"Is Zheng Shanggong outside?"

"What can I do for you?"

"Where is Qinlan?"

"Told the Queen, Qinlan is in the courtyard, do you need..."

Yi Chuguan waved his hand: "Forget it, go and find out what's going on with those officials."

"Yes, Madam."

Qinlan, sitting on the railing of the corridor, saw Zheng Shanggong leave, and Emperor Xia was assassinated. In fact, his own father was assassinated, but somehow, Qinlan did not worry at all. Xia Yan, how's it going?

Qinlan lowered her head, and there were tears in her eyes. Don't be weak, don't be so weak. Qinlan raised her head and tried to keep tears from falling.

"Yo, isn't this Qinlan girl?"

Because she was so absorbed, Qinlan didn't notice Liu Xi walking to her at all: "What's the matter?"

"Oh, the emperor announced that you are going to Chengfu Palace. Let's go."

"There is a father-in-law."

Following Liu Xi into Chengfu Palace, Qinlan looked at the Xia Emperor lying on the dragon couch, covered with thick duvet. The air is filled with a sweet smell that makes people feel drowsy.

"Liu Xi, you go down first."

"I obeyed." Speaking of which, Liu Xi retreated quietly.

Qinlan did not kneel down according to the etiquette, but just stood and looked at Emperor Xia quietly.

"Do you know why I asked you to come?"

"How could this maidservant know?"

Xia Di paused and said slowly, "I have decided to make you Princess Changxuan."

Qinlan was shocked, but she didn't know what to say. She could only mutter, "What."

"I know you are surprised, but I have decided to make you Princess Changxuan."

"Why? Why did you do this?"

"Because you are the daughter of the shadow, I owe you everything."

"Good." Qinlan nodded and was not flattered. She also cried powerfully and resented that her father had abandoned her for more than 20 years. "Then I'll wait."

"Tell me, do you still like Xia Yan?"

Without any hesitation, Qinlan replied, "I like it."

"But he is the prince of the Kingdom of Jin." There was a little anger between Xia Di's eyebrows.

"So what? What does that stand for? In the face of Emperor Xia's anger, Qinlan raised her eyebrows gently without any fear.

"What would you do if one day, power and Xia Yan can only choose one?"

Still without any hesitation, but answered more resolutely than the previous question: "Power."

"Very good, this is a satisfactory answer. For these two words, you are also qualified to become Princess Changxuan. However, I must remind you that since I have chosen power, I will completely eradicate that wild seed from my heart.

Qinlan nodded and said nothing.

"Do you know why I killed those officials?" Xia Di's tone was extremely casual, and he didn't seem to expect Qinlan's answer at all.

"I don't know." Qinlan said.

"Yes, you don't know. So do you want to know why? Why didn't I hold the captain accountable, but killed more than 20 irrelevant officials?

"Of course, the emperor has the emperor's truth, but... I think this may have something to do with Li Jinglue."

"Continu..."
