The emperor's palace in Handan City was not newly built by King Zhao. Its age is a little old, and its original role should be prepared for the Son of Heaven to personally conquer the Huns. Although it has gone through the years of dust, after careful renovation and decoration, it is still magnificent and luxurious.

Earlier, outside the emperor's palace, when Wei Qing listened to Li Linglai pass on the words that Yuan Zhao said, he stood up in shock.

How could this happen?! He had only followed the emperor back more than an hour earlier. But how could he have imagined the earth-shattering changes behind him. Although Wei Qing rarely participates in political affairs, he immediately noticed that there was something unusual in this.

"Where is Yuanhou, can there be damage?"

"Master has been plotted in King Zhao's mansion. Although the situation was dangerous, he had recovered by the time I left, and there should be no major problems. ”

"King Zhao is so bold! No wonder he would find an excuse to keep Brother Yuan'er...... Li Ling, can you be sure that Zhao Wangfu really has evidence of committing a crime?"

Wei Qing put on his armor and gave the order, and at the same time turned back and asked one last question. Li Ling followed behind without hesitation and replied categorically.

"King Zhao's crime is monstrous, people and gods are angry, this matter is true! Otherwise, Master would not have done such an extraordinary act. I am willing to follow the general, go after the murderer and the evil together, and find out all the evidence of the crime. ”

Seeing this young man's generous look, Wei Qing had no doubts. Li Guang's grandson naturally wouldn't talk wildly, not to mention that this was an order conveyed by Yuan Zhao himself.

The general had an order, except for the Yulin Army, which was in charge of guarding the palace, which was led by Yulin General Han Yan to strengthen the patrol, all the rest were assembled and had urgent action. At the same time, Sima in the army was sent to the garrison camp outside the city in the rain to mobilize forces and wait for orders.

The horses neighed, and the cavalry sorted! After urging the horse to step onto the hard stone street in the city, Wei Qing suddenly remembered that he was only concerned about the safety of Yuan Zhao just now, and did not go to ask His Majesty the Emperor before sending troops...... However, looking at the lights in the rain curtain in front of him, he gritted his teeth and struggled to bear the punishment, and he had to go and see with his own eyes that Yuan Zhao was indeed safe and sound, so he could feel at ease.

Perhaps, in his heart, what is the most important thing in this world, he has already made a choice unconsciously!

The rain in Handan finally stopped. A carriage passed in the opposite direction, and the captain of the Yulin Military Academy, who had stopped his horse, seemed to have a few words with someone in the carriage, and then Pegasus ran to Wei Qing's side and handed him a note with an excited face.

By the light of the torch, when Wei Qing unfolded it in his palm, he recognized at a glance that it was Yuan Zhao's handwriting. There are only eight words on it, apparently improvised.

"When I see the Son of Heaven, you will act"!

On the long street washed by the rain, Wei Qing pulled out the famous sword ink dye, which once drank the blood of the Huns in order to protect the peace of the country. Tonight Handan, it will fight for justice.

And Emperor Liu Che, who is in the palace, all his wishes tonight are obviously destined to be frustrated. If he could have known the outcome in advance, I wonder if he would have had ardent expectations?

Shortly after returning to the palace, the two elixirs offered by Peng Zu, the king of Zhao, were held high above his head by the eunuch who was close to him with great piety, and served to His Majesty the Emperor to take them. Although several imperial doctors who were always waiting outside the dormitory were full of anxiety and wanted to stop them several times, after making eye contact, they finally dispelled this idea.

The Emperor's temper had become increasingly irritable and stubborn. Those of them who are close to them know it all too well. If you want to live longer, it's better not to talk too much. What's more, they are also a little uncertain in their hearts. What if the elixir offered by this long-lived King Zhao really had a miraculous effect?

Originally, according to what King Zhao said, after taking these two pale red pills, they needed to rest and rest in order to absorb the medicinal effects well. It's just that the emperor can't sleep right away for the time being. He had a hunch that Peng Zu, the king of Zhao who was loyal to the royal family, might surprise him tonight.

The emperor's hunch was indeed not wrong. There will be surprises, and there will be more than one. Half an hour later, the first news was brought back from the Zhao Palace.

In the quiet dormitory, after listening to the secret report of this confidant, Emperor Liu Che's mood suddenly became very complicated. Maybe even he didn't feel it, but once the secret decree he sent to King Zhao a few months ago really came true, he didn't know whether it was more joy or sadness in his heart!

"Your Majesty...... King Zhao is still waiting for a reply. When it is decided, it is decided, without further ado......! ”

King Wuqiushou, who is good at perceiving people's hearts, seems to have seen through the ambivalence of the emperor. He cautiously reminded him, although according to his original intention, he wanted the emperor to order Yuan Zhao to be killed immediately, but he knew that the more delicate he was at such a delicate moment, the more he could not easily reveal his true attitude.

"Yuan Zhao...... How is he doing now? ”

The Emperor hid his face in the shadow of the light. Although he tried to remain calm in his tone, the small movements of unconsciously fiddling with Yu Ruyi between his fingers exposed his inner irritability and uncalmness.

"He is still in the palace of King Zhao...... Please rest assured that everything is going well, Your Majesty. Safe and sound! ”

King Wuqiu Shou quietly bowed his head and replied, especially accentuating the last four words. He was confident that the Emperor would understand what this meant. "Safe and sound" is definitely not the person, but the thing!

Of course, the emperor could understand what he meant, and the reason why he hesitated was that he could not make up his final decision. King Wuqiu Shou is not in a hurry, the night is long, the time is enough, since the killing machine has been launched, His Majesty the Emperor who acted decisively will definitely not hesitate for too long.

Unconsciously, the sound of rain outside the palace gradually weakened, and finally disappeared. The palace lamp burned for a long time, and suddenly burst red! In the sound of a faint sound, the corner of King Wuqiu Shou's eyes saw the emperor sitting up straight, and he was secretly happy in his heart, knowing that the Sacred Heart had finally made a final decision.

At this moment, the wind flickered, the candle shadow swayed, and a henchman came in with a panicked look on his face, reporting a disturbing latest news.

"What? What did you say...... General Wei dispatched the Yulin Army...... What is he trying to do?! ”

King Wuqiu Shou was first taken aback. You don't have to think much about it to know that there must have been an unexpected mutation behind this. The people present looked at each other. Instinctively turned his gaze to His Majesty the Emperor, but after seeing his face change several times, he finally spoke.

"Does anyone know where Wei Qing is going to make such a big move?"

The guard who had come to report shook his head, and the others didn't know why. King Wuqiu Shou hurriedly stepped forward and interjected.

"General Han Yan must know! Why didn't Your Majesty summon him to talk back quickly. ”

Seeing the emperor nodding, King Wuqiu Shou hurriedly made a look, and the guards ran out to send Han Yan to see him. During this short waiting period, although Emperor Liu Che tried his best to control the invisible, he felt his heart pounding suddenly, the blood veins on his forehead swelled greatly, and he was very uncomfortable. He regretted that he didn't talk to Wei Qing about his intentions earlier, and once he missed some things, it might be difficult to find the best opportunity.

Han Yan came quickly, and he seemed to have been waiting for the emperor's question for a long time. In the face of the emperor's sternness, there was no panic in his expression, only calm.

"Where is Wei Qing's whole army?"

"Back to Your Majesty. General Wei ordered the last general to guard here, and he went into the city. ”

"What...... What did he want? ”

"General Wei received an urgent report that someone wanted to cause chaos in Handan City, so he sent troops."

"Someone's urgent report? And who is making trouble! ”

"Your Majesty, it's an urgent order from Prime Minister Yuanhou! Troublemaker, Zhao Wangfu. ”

As soon as the words came out, the whole audience was shocked. King Wuqiu Shouwang almost jumped up. He couldn't care about the emperor's majesty here, so he grabbed Han Yan's arm and asked sharply.

What do you mean by that? You mean that Yuan Zhao sent an order to Wei Qing...... Let him go to the Zhao Palace?"

Han Yan nodded, not squinting. When another life-or-death moment came, he knew exactly what he should do.

"Your Majesty! This—That's ridiculous! Zhao Wangfu has a banquet tonight, and the guests are full...... Even His Majesty and his ministers have just left, so how can they make a mess? Your Majesty......! ”

King Wuqiu Shou was quick-witted, and since he heard that the Yulin Army was dispatched, he knew that something was wrong. Now that the worry in his heart has finally been confirmed, how can he not be shocked and inexplicable! If the tiger is not tied up, it is injured by the tiger? He didn't dare to think about what would happen next.

"Han Yan! Wei Qing mobilized the Yulin Army without authorization, why didn't you report it immediately? ”

Emperor Liu Che's face was gloomy and terrifying. He looked at this handsome man who he once trusted immensely, and he didn't understand when their relationship had become estranged, and it could never be restored.

"The last general knows that he is guilty, and he only wants to die!"

The general of the Yulin Army, who took off his helmet and sword, prostrated himself on the ground, closed his eyes and neck to be killed. He died for the sake of the young man, he was willing.

This attitude of his angered the emperor at once. Jealousy and resentment finally broke out the emotions that he had been holding back for a long time. It turned out that in the minds of Wei Qing and Han Yan, the weight of himself, the supreme in the world, was not comparable to Yuan Zhao! This is something he absolutely cannot tolerate.

"Someone! Drag him out...... Slashed! ”

The emperor overturned the cases in front of him, turned around angrily, and did not look at it again. The king's heart has always been like iron and stone, and the old love and righteousness are only in the face of the imperial power.

There was a sigh coming from outside, seemingly far away, but also close to the ear. The Emperor was stunned, and then heard the man's request for an audience.

"Your Majesty, and be merciful. Chen Yuanzhao has something to report to ....... ”

At the entrance of the palace, Yuan Zhao slowly stepped out of the carriage, patted the carriage casually, and said lightly.

"Let's go. Please go to the Son of Heaven and tell me about the good deeds you have done! ”
