Heaven Scheme Palace

This time, the black clothed man was not like the group of Death Soldier s that Ling Xuan Su was raising. When he met experts like Jiang Che and Lei Zhi, he was a little afraid, but he noticed that Yao Dan Qing's martial arts was weak and focused on attacking her.

"Be careful!" Lv Wen Hao cursed, the doppelgänger escaped from the battle and pounced towards Yao Dan Qing, hugging her while avoiding the fatal slash.

Before Yao Dan Qing could see what was happening, she was pounced onto the ground and rolled on the ground a few times. Only then did she realise that Lv Wen Hao's arm had left a shocking wound, and fresh blood had dyed his entire sleeve red.

"My lord!" Jiang Che was shocked, he stepped forward and blocked all the attacks, "You guys go first!"

Yao Dan Qing knew that she would only be in the way here. Once she had the chance, she would flee with the injured Lv Wen Hao.

•

Only when the sounds of the swords and sabers disappeared into the distance did they gradually slow down. Finally, they stopped in front of a hundred year old tree, where Lv Wen Hao supported Lv Wen Hao and sat down on the foot of the tree. They examined the injuries on his arm and said in a low voice, "What a deep wound."

Lv Wen Hao seemed to be unable to feel pain and laughed. "Tonight again reminds me of the great battle that took place when I was inside the river, where the two of us fought side by side in life and death."

"That was much more dangerous than this one." Yao Dan Qing tore off the corner of his clothes, then lowered her head and seriously bandaged him up. She scolded: "If you hadn't fed me the Dissolving Jade Dew, how could those black-clothed people be a match for me? but now they've fallen to the point where they need your protection. "

When Lv Wen Hao heard her talk about what happened two years ago, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of pain in his heart.

"Political positions are different, I understand." Yao Dan Qing smiled lightly, and upon saying that sentence, it seemed like it was as light as the clouds.

Lv Wen Hao looked at the side of her face that was covered up for him, and for a moment, his memories of Yao Dan Qing's face blurred.

"Madame!" Piao Xu's voice broke the silence, and she and Chi Yuan brought Li Da to the front of the group. Looking at Yao Dan Qing who was bandaging Lv Wen Hao, she felt that the atmosphere was strange.

Yao Dan Qing bandaged Lv Wen Hao's wound properly before raising his head. She looked at Li Da whose hair was scattered all over and whose clothes were disheveled, clearing his throat and was just about to ask, when she heard Lv Wen Hao and said: "The two of you, go and help Lei Zhi and Jiang Che."

Hearing that, Chi Yuan knew that Lv Wen Hao was going to send them off, and tactfully led Piao Xu to leave.

"What virtue and ability does this lowly one have to be able to be saved by the Lieutenant Lutai personally? Your great kindness …" Li Da fell to his knees in gratitude.

"Cut the crap, this is Yao Cong Xing, her daughter, if she asks you anything, you can answer truthfully." Lv Wen Hao interrupted his chattering speech coldly.

Li Da was startled, he examined Yao Dan Qing once, then said: "So you are the famous Miss Yao, this humble servant knows that you are here to inquire about the annihilation of my clan, right?"

"Back then, you were the one in charge of this case. I believe you know more than anyone else. Just tell me what you found out that year." Yao Dan Qing did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"Everything that this lowly official found is recorded in the file. The extermination case that time was meticulously planned. A large fire would destroy all evidence. There is nothing to investigate at all." Li Da was serious, but Yao Dan Qing was suspicious, "But I still remember that back then, you said that this case involved the nobles of the upper echelons of the imperial court, so you did not dare to continue investigating."

Li Da was startled, why did he not remember to say those words to Yao Dan Qing?

"As the head judge, you must have a guess in your heart. Why aren't you calling me in?" After Yao Dan Qing said this, she waved his sword and pointed it straight at Li Da, and said coldly: Master Li does not want to die in the wilderness either, right?

Li Da pretended to be calm: "You, you …. "You dare to kill an imperial court official!"

Lv Wen Hao actually laughed out loud. "The person who killed you, was the assassin who kidnapped you."

Li Da lowered his head and struggled for a long time, but did not speak, which surprised Yao Dan Qing, in her view, Li Da was someone who feared death, why was he so unyielding now?

"Do you know the danger of Emperor's illness?" Lv Wen Hao suddenly said something unrelated to the case, causing Li Da to be shocked, and asked uncertainly: "Is what Lord Lu said true?"

Lv Wen Hao said, "Naturally, the new Emperor will ascend to the throne in the next few days."

Only then did Li Da let out a deep breath, lowered his voice, and said, "Back then when this humble one investigated the Yao Family's annihilation case, I had guessed that Lu Family was the culprit. After all, only Lu Family had the ability and motive …" With that, he sneaked a glance at Lv Wen Hao, seeing that his expression was still normal, he gathered up his courage and continued: "But it lasted until that day when Emperor summoned me into the palace and strictly ordered me to not continue investigating, and to remove me from the imperial capital, and use Qingzhou as my scapegoat."

"Emperor?" Yao Dan Qing muttered, her eyelids jumping, "Why doesn't Emperor allow you to continue investigating?"

"Miss Yao is so intelligent, I think she already has the answer in her heart." Li Da heaved a long sigh, "This Da Jin, to be able to exterminate the entire Western General's Estate in one night, and also make this case an unsolved case, other than the current Emperor, who else could it be?"

"Emperor... "Why?" "Father has fought for Da Jin for so many years, he has made countless achievements in battle, why does Emperor want to kill you so much for Yao Family?!"

"Because the Emperor cannot split the forces of the world into two families. He must let Pei Sheng have the upper hand in order to deal with the Lu Family! "Emperor is a tactic that can kill two birds with one stone. Not only does it retract the military power and suppress the arrogance of the Crown Prince, it also blames the Lu Family and makes him bear the notoriety." Lv Wen Hao's tone was calm and his clear eyes revealed a cold light.

"You know? "You knew it all along!" Yao Dan Qing asked.

Lv Wen Hao admitted: "Yes, I was only guessing in the beginning, but since the Emperor started supporting Prince Zan, I was convinced that everything was Emperor's doing."

Yao Dan Qing's eyes flashed with excitement: "Why didn't you tell me, and why did you bring me to the Qingzhou!"

Lv Wen Hao sighed: "If I don't bring you in to hear it from Li Da's side, based on my own words, would you believe me?"

"No, I don't believe it!" Yao Dan Qing's eyes were filled with panic, she retreated a few steps, and felt the world spinning around her.

In the past, it was not that she did not suspect the Emperor, but she had always believed that the Emperor was an enlightened king king, and would not be so cruel to him.

The Emperor had no reason to annihilate the entire Yao Family!

But now, Lv Wen Hao's words had cut through the heavens, the Emperor truly had a myriad of reasons to annihilate the entire Yao Family.

And most importantly, if everything was planned by the Emperor, then what about Pei Sheng?

Had Pei Sheng participated in this battle?

Not daring to think any further, she suddenly turned around and dashed out into the endless night, allowing the darkness to engulf her.

The morning sun was like fire, its red glow filling the sky and sprinkling onto Yao Dan Qing's pale white face, seeming to have dyed it with a layer of warmth.

A faint ripple appeared in Lv Wen Hao's gaze, all of it landing on that crimson figure. His gaze dimmed as he stood proudly facing the light breeze, completely unwilling to admit defeat.

"I want to go to the palace." Yao Dan Qing's voice was awe-inspiring, and carried a hint of hoarseness in it, "There are some things that I want to personally ask Emperor."

"If you ask, what can you do?" Lv Wen Hao stood one step away as he stared at her with a complicated expression.

"Emperor killed more than a hundred of my Yao Family's innocent lives. Shouldn't there be an explanation?" Do you really expect the dignified Son of Heaven to do something to a girl like you? "

"It is precisely because he is the Son of Heaven that I should give Yao Family an explanation." Yao Dan Qing's gaze was firm, and within the silence, it revealed her final determination.
