Chapter 42 Return of the King (2)

Concubine Yang just cried.

It took a long time before she let go of Zhao Dongting.

Although Zhao Dongting knew that Concubine Yang Shu was just treating him as Zhao Shi, he was still moved. He reached out to wipe away the tears from the corner of Concubine Yang Shu's eyes and said softly: "Mom, follow me to the Political Consultative Hall. I want to discuss some things with all the ministers."

Xiao Jin's death tortured his heart all the time, making him want to pull out the men in black immediately.

Concubine Yang Shu held Zhao Dongting's hand tightly, for fear that he would disappear in front of her again, so she nodded slightly.

Yang Yidong said to the guards next to him: "Go and invite all the ministers to the Political Consultative Hall quickly."

The guards took the order and left, and the imperial guards who brought Zhao Dongting to the palace also left.

Zhao Dongting and his group went to the Political Affairs Hall.

Le Wu's face was dull, and there was not a trace of expression on Shui Lingling's big eyes. She has been like this all these days.

Shortly after arriving at the Political Affairs Hall, ministers arrived one after another.

These ministers were so excited when they saw that Zhao Dongting was really okay, and some even cried loudly. They were a little unbelievable when they heard the guards' reports.

After dozens of minutes, the court officials had arrived and many people were crying below.

"Stop crying!"

Seeing them crying, Zhao Dongting was a little annoyed and shouted coldly.

The ministers were stunned, and the ministers who were still crying quickly wiped their tears with their sleeves.

Zhao Dongting rubbed his brows hard with his hands and asked, "But did he find out who attacked my bedroom?"

Su Liuyi and Yang Yidong walked into the hall and both fell to the ground, "Please give death to the emperor!"

Zhao Dongting sighed in his heart, knowing that they must have not found out what they said.

However, he also understood that the two of them could not be blamed for this matter. Su Liuyi and Yang Yidong had both said that they would increase their manpower to protect the Forbidden Palace. Zhao Dongting himself rejected their proposal on the grounds that he would not delay the training of the soldiers.

Thinking of this, Zhao Dongting waved his hand and said, "Get up, you don't blame you for this."

Su Liuyi and Yang Yidong still dared not get up. Of course, this is also because of the shame in his heart.

Zhao Dongting frowned slightly and said, "I asked you to get up and get up. Can you find out who was assassinating me while kneeling here?"

Although he knew that this was not the fault of Su Liuyi and Yang Yidong, he still couldn't suppress his anger when he thought of Xiao Jin's death.

The two of them did not dare to kneel down again and quickly accused them of crime.

Zhao Dongting ignored them anymore, looked at Su Quandang in the hall and asked, "General Su, how is the progress of the treasure ship being transported?"

Su Quan dangled out and said, "Return to the emperor, our masters have already found the thief's hiding place, and are now investigating their virtuality and reality. I believe they will be able to return soon."

Zhao Dongting said in a deep voice: "What do you mean is that Eunuch Li and the others have not come back yet?"

Su Quandang was slightly shocked. He didn't know why the emperor said something murderous, but he still said with a stingy forehead: "Yes."

Zhao Dongting's eyes narrowed slightly. Now, he had great doubts about Su Quandang.

But without evidence, he could not conclude.

These two consecutive things made Zhao Dongting extremely upset.

Seeing that the ministers were not talking below, he said coldly: "Send more people to protect the Palace and recall all the guards searching for me. Let's disperse the court!"

As he said that, he walked off the dragon couch and walked outside the Anzheng Hall.

Concubine Yang also got up and followed her.

Ying Er, Liwu, was waiting outside the hall. When she saw Zhao Dongting coming out, the group walked towards his bedroom.

When she arrived in the bedroom, Concubine Yang accompanied Zhao Dongting for a long time before leaving.

As soon as she left, Ying Er asked, "Master, did you find out who assassinated you?"

She knew that Zhao Dongting was hurrying to summon ministers in the Political Consultation Hall, and must have asked about this.

Zhao Dongting sighed and shook his head, "No. They are all very good at kung fu, and they will not leave any clues."

"I'll ask my future brother-in-law to check it out."

The always silent Liwu suddenly spoke next to her.

Xiao Jin's death is the saddest.

"no!"

Zhao Dongting said: "Your brother-in-law is from the martial arts world. When he checks, he may leak news. Moreover, it may cause trouble for him."

Le Wu suddenly got angry, "What should I do if Xiao Jin's revenge?"

After saying that, he started crying again.

Ying Er wanted to say that she should not be rude to the emperor, but when she saw her crying, she could only swallow the words to her mouth.

Zhao Dongting said guiltily: "Liwu, give me some time. I will avenge Xiao Jin's grudge, okay?"

Lewu cried for a while before finally nodding gently.

She is not an unreasonable person, she knows that Zhao Dongting was right just now. The reason why she got angry was because her emotions were accumulated in her heart these days, and she would not be happy.

She was young after all, and she didn't grow up in the palace. When her emotions could not be suppressed, she naturally wouldn't care who Zhao Dongting was.

If it were Ying Er, no matter how angry she was, she would never dare to vent Zhao Dongting.

Time passed quickly and more than ten days later.

The matter of the assassin in black has not made any progress. Those people have very high skills and come without a trace, and they really have no trace left.

Zhao Dongting also began to understand that kung fu really played a great role in ancient times.

He became more diligent in practicing martial arts.

On that day and night, Li Yuanxiu and the others finally came back. They didn't bother to rest and rushed to Zhao Dongting's bedroom to ask for a meeting.

Zhao Dongting naturally got up quickly and Xuan and came in to meet him.

At the same time, his suspicion of Su Quandang faded a little. It seemed that this should be just a coincidence. Li Yuanxiu was not Su Quandang deliberately transferred away.

Before Li Yuanxiu and the others could kneel down, Zhao Dongting waved his hand and asked, "How is the investigation?"

Li Yuanxiu didn't know about Zhao Dongting's stabbing, and said with some joy: "Your Majesty, Lao Nu and others have already found out the situation of the thief."

Zhao Dongting said, "Tell me quickly."

Li Yuanxiu paused and said, "There are six thieves who plundered the treasure ship, all powerful pirates wandering around Leizhou Bay. Each of their families has sent people, and they have also divided the robbed treasures. However... most of the treasures were still moved, and they don't know why. The old slaves were afraid of being alerted to the snake, so they dared not continue to investigate, so they rushed back and asked the emperor to punish them."

Where would Zhao Dongting punish them?

Just pretending that he didn't hear this, he asked again: "Then have you found out these pirate forces?"

Li Yuanxiu nodded, "At least five hundred, and at most eight hundred."

Zhao Dongting pondered slightly, "There are quite a lot of people... Isn't there going to be thousands of people in total..."
