Heaven Scheme Palace

Yao Dan Qing looked at Xia Ying Fei's anger, and when she heard her words, he raised her eyebrows and laughed: "Listening to what young miss Xia said, are you jealous of me?"

Xia Ying Fei scoffed, "Am I jealous of you? A woman who has been abandoned by a man twice? "

Yao Dan Qing was still smiling calmly: "A woman who had been abandoned by a man twice, yet had to marry a General Pei whom you can't ask for, you're very unwilling right?"

Xia Ying Fei's heart was hit right on her throat, her face immediately flushed red, she raised her hand and angrily glared at Yao Dan Qing: "What are you so proud of? Who knows when, the General Pei will hate you, and will abandon you like a pair of shoes! "

"How can you be so presumptuous in front of the Madame!" A sharp voice came out, only to see Piao Xu taking out his sword from her waist, and pointing it straight at Xia Ying Fei.

"Piao Xu, don't be rude." Yao Dan Qing smiled as she stopped the impulsive Piao Xu. Even though she had been humiliated by Xia Ying Fei, this was still the main overseer's residence.

"Fuxi, step back!" Xia Yan flew into a rage as he shouted at Xia Ying Fei.

"The prideful and willful nature of the tassel that was doted on since it was young made the Mrs. Pei and the Lieutenant Lutai laugh." Xia Yan's face was filled with awkwardness, with an apologetic expression.

Yao Dan Qing was not angry, she turned and looked at Lv Wen Hao, who had not said anything at all, and asked: Let's have lunch later, shall we go to Qingzhou to assassinate Li Da?

"Yes." Lv Wen Hao replied indifferently.

Looking at his cold expression, Yao Dan Qing felt strange for a moment. Wasn't everything alright before coming to the Governor's Palace? Could it be a message from a flying pigeon?

After Xia Ying Fei's farce, the originally harmonious atmosphere instantly sunk into an awkward atmosphere. No one spoke, and soon the luncheon ended, but Lv Wen Hao's expression was still solemn. Yao Dan Qing, in the end, could not help but ask: "What's wrong? Did something happen in the capital? "

"Let's find Li Da first." Lv Wen Hao did not speak further, and led Yao Dan Qing out of the Palace.

On the other hand, Jiang Che followed closely behind with an anxious look on his face, as if he wanted to say something.

Yao Dan Qing had always understood the situation, and had already guessed that something must have happened in the imperial city. She silently followed him to the Li Residence, but was greatly alarmed when her servant informed him that Li Da had disappeared for no reason last night.

"I've already searched the entire city, but I still haven't found Lord Li's whereabouts." The guard looked anxious, and reported the matter of Li Da's mysterious disappearance last night to Lv Wen Hao.

Yao Dan Qing and Lv Wen Hao looked at each other, feeling that the mastermind behind the Yao Family's annihilation had already made his move. Seems like once he found out that they had come to Qingzhou to investigate, he unknowingly kidnapped Li Da, afraid that they would find clues from him.

"I think there's something fishy about this matter. If Li Da really knows something, why did he keep him alive until now?" Yao Dan Qing looked at Lv Wen Hao in puzzlement.

Lv Wen Hao did not give her an answer. He only turned around and looked at a white cloud in the sky with a deep look in his eyes.

"I know that something may have happened in the imperial city and you're no longer in the mood to investigate this case. Go back to the imperial city, I can investigate this by myself."

Lv Wen Hao's eyes shone faintly, with a carefree look after careful deliberation. "It's alright, it's not too late to return to the imperial city after we find Li Da."

However, Jiang Che could no longer hold back, and blurted out: "Prince Chu sent a pigeon for Sir to return quickly, something big must have happened in the imperial city …"

Halfway through Jiang Che's words, he sensed Lv Wen Hao's cold gaze. His heart trembled, and he stopped speaking.

"What happened in the capital?" Yao Dan Qing's heart jumped, as she started to worry about Pei Sheng.

"Emperor is in critical condition." Lv Wen Hao said in a cold voice, and then laughed coldly: "Didn't you think that Li Da's disappearance was strange? My guess is that Emperor ordered for people to abduct Li Da. "

"Purpose?" Yao Dan Qing did not understand.

"Restrain us." Lv Wen Hao's heart was as clear as a mirror, "Emperor was sick for a while, but he has always kept it a secret, and now he can't hide it anymore. Everyone knows that Emperor's life isn't going to end soon, and all the ministers and officials are ready to make their moves."

"Emperor wants to push Prince Zan to the throne, so he used a scheme to abduct Li Da, and wanted to keep you, the owner of the Lu Family, in the Qingzhou to prepare for the succession of the Prince Zan."

"Seems like Pei Sheng did not hide it from you." Lv Wen Hao looked to the north with his hands behind his back, exactly where he was looking from far away from the imperial city.

Yao Dan Qing thought for a while, then said: "Then, you should go back."

Lv Wen Hao shook his head: "This Da Jin is from the Emperor. Who can stop him?"

"Are you willing to admit defeat?"

"Even if the Prince Zan ascended the throne to become Emperor, the Lu Family did not lose."

Yao Dan Qing looked at Lv Wen Hao's calm and composed expression, and suddenly she could not understand the situation in front of him. The Lu Family had supported the Prince Chu and the Crown Prince in their battle for so many years, all for the sake of allowing the Prince Chu with the Lu Family bloodline to succeed the position of Emperor.

"Just what do you want?" Yao Dan Qing asked in a low voice.

"Now, I just want to personally tell you the truth." Lv Wen Hao looked deeply at her as his eyes, which had originally been shrouded in the mist of Primal Chaos, gradually became clear.

Yao Dan Qing avoided his burning gaze: "Go back first, I'm fine by myself."

Lv Wen Hao said: "If I go back, Li Da will die, and the case of the Yao Family's annihilation will no longer be investigated."

Yao Dan Qing asked: "If you stay here, won't Li Da die?"

Lv Wen Hao said: "At least I won't die before Prince Zan ascends the throne. Otherwise, wouldn't Emperor's painstaking efforts be for nothing?"

Jiang Che, who was standing at the side, could only stare anxiously. He wanted to speak up to stop his, but he felt that he was powerless to do so.

The news of Emperor's illness quickly spread throughout the entire capital and even the entire world. Some of the more reputable officials all went to the palace to seek an audience with the Emperor, but unfortunately, the Emperor did not see anyone, and only left the Ming Gui Fei in his chambers.

The ministers could not see the Emperor and refused to leave either. They kneeled a few rows away from the palace hall, with one kneeling for the better part of a day. As the imperial physicians and palace maids hurried in and out of the palace hall, the ministers began to panic.

Until late at night, when Ming Gui Fei Lv Ling Yu slowly walked out of the palace, her sharp eyes were filled with fatigue. She indifferently looked at the courtiers who were kneeling on the ground, and coldly said to them: "Masters, all of you can return to your homes. Emperor's condition has improved, and he is currently resting."

All the ministers present looked at each other and whispered to each other.

"If you want to talk, why are you acting cowardly?" Although Lv Ling Yu took care of the emperor and hadn't slept for a few days, he didn't show any signs of weakness when facing these court officials, and was as sharp as ever.

On the other hand, Wei Guogong Lv Zhong Tian slowly stood up, and coldly said: "Emperor's illness is related to the nation of Yue, but Empress has been concealing it all this time, what is your motive?"
