Chapter 528: Only One Leave
This night was destined to be not peaceful.
On that night, the court above and the masses below — government officials and the people was completely shaken. However, without the Emperor’s decree, no one could enter the palace late at night to investigate, except for Ji Jingzhi who had brought his men.
“Where are you locked up?”
“We have been sent to the Criminal Department’s prison.”
The Emperor woke up in the middle of the night. The candlelight in the hall was not very bright, which made both his and Ji Jingzhi’s faces gloomy.
There was no emotion on Ji Jingzhi’s face. He didn’t even have the fatigue of running around late at night. The Emperor’s face was full of shock and anger. Of course, his anger was caused by learning about the corruption of the Imperial Public Bureau or because of Ji Jingzhi’s first then make all known to the emperor.
“Irrefutable evidence?”
“The evidence is here. As for the statement of the Imperial Duke, WeChen will know it at first instance tomorrow.”
“Why didn’t you first…” The little emperor thought about it and swallowed it again.
Things had already happened, so it was useless to scold him again. Instead, it seemed like he had a guilty conscience.
“Well done,” the little emperor coughed and gave Ji Jingzhi a positive evaluation, “It’s just that it’s late in the night. Thank you for your hard work.”
Ji Jingzhi answered, “Due to the importance of this matter, in order to prevent the mastermind from escaping, the moment a WeChen gets the evidence, he immediately goes to get someone. Fortunately, no one in the United States can escape!”
The little emperor’s mouth twitched.
It was obvious that he had stepped on something beforehand. The evidence was on the surface and the moment he made his move, he would be finished with the imperial government. Otherwise, even if he didn’t pursue the matter, he would still take a copy of the Censorate tomorrow.
However, now that the evidence was placed here, no one could say anything. Just like that, a good boyfriend fell.
The little emperor didn’t care much about the prince. He just felt that Ji Jingzhi’s performance this time was even harder to deal with than before. Un, Ji Jingzhi seemed to know what he was going to say. He took the words without waiting for him to finish.
“It is a matter of WeChat to take care of the Emperor. Your Highness, don’t worry. The official Weibo case will be carefully examined and not disappoint the Emperor!” What else could Ji Jingzhi say?
Ji Jingzhi did not hesitate and quickly bid his farewells to him. He left the palace on the grounds that he had to continue investigating the case.
But how could the little emperor sleep?
As soon as Shen Che was locked in jail, an accident happened to the Duke of Hwa Xia. Ji Jingzhi understood that he was going to work along both lines. His heart was as dark as him and he would definitely want to eat both of them, but the little emperor definitely couldn’t let him live.
However, it was unrealistic to save both of them.
The little emperor sat for a while before heading to the Empress’s dormitory.
The Empress was also woken up when she heard the news. She wanted to find the Emperor but she didn’t expect him to come over.
“Is it serious?”
The little emperor muttered, “I looked at the evidence and said that he is related to the salt case.”
The Empress frowned, “The matter of the Yan case can be big or small. It really isn’t to the point of ransacking the family. Besides, the emperor hasn’t said anything yet, so he took the home without permission. This is too presumptuous.”
The Emperor remained silent.
Who didn’t know that this was presumptuous, but he still didn’t remove the Ji Changhuai and his son. He could only look at them and let them continue.
The both of them were useless and could not do anything to Ji Jingzhi. Thinking of this, the little emperor even had the idea of giving up on these two useless people. What was the use of waste?
“It’s already here, it’s better to think about how to protect him first. I’m afraid that Ji Jingzhi still has some backup, not just the salt case.
The Empress nodded. The Emperor’s face was cold, “He just wants to use this to attack Shen Che. It’s best if he can completely pull Shen Che down so that I don’t have a left arm to command.” The Emperor had already figured this out. It was impossible for Ji Jingzhi to get both of them together with such arrogance.
“I protect Shen Che.”
The candles on the table clapped and the room fell silent. After a while, the Empress reached out to hold his hand and slowly said,
“Don’t worry, let me do this.” There were still many people who hadn’t slept well this night.
Before dawn, Rong Shaogao was suddenly woken up. Some people in the palace came to say that empress was calling.
He didn’t know about the affairs of the United States, but his intuition told him that being summoned at this time was definitely not a good thing.
But the palace is waiting at the door, and he has to go if he doesn’t go, so he has to wash up and rush into the palace.
After sending the Emperor away, the Empress did not sleep anymore. She just sat and waited for Rong Shaoge to come.
“Did you sleep well?” I called you here early in the morning to disturb your dream.
Rong Shaoge raised his head slightly and glanced at the Empress’s ugly face. How dare he say anything, he repeatedly said “No”.
The Empress replied expressionlessly, “That means you don’t sleep well?” Is there something annoying about Rong Yu and can’t sleep?
This sentence makes Rong Shaoge even more confused. He knows that the Empress has something in her words, but he doesn’t know what the deep meaning is. Is the Empress going to pick his problem?
Did the the Rong family do something wrong and make the Empress unhappy?
At this moment, Rong Shaogao really hoped that someone could remind him what had happened and give him a thrill, much better than making him suffer here.
The Empress suddenly stopped talking, the two of them were frozen, and Rong Shaogo’s kneeling knees hurt.
After a short while, the sky turned white. The Empress muttered, “The Emperor should have gone up the court. The time is really fast.”
But Rong Shaogo is not fast, he feels that it is hard to endure for a moment.
Moments later, the Empress spoke again. “Time passes quickly. Don’t you think?” In the blink of an eye, it had been many years since the past.
When Rong Shaoge heard this, he had a slight brow in his heart, but he still couldn’t help but squat.
Why did she suddenly mention the past? Was there a problem with their the Rong family or the United States?
Rong Shaoge looked up at the Empress’s face, and the Empress’s tired face was cold. Seeing him looking over, he followed Rong Shaoge.
Rong Shaoge gulped.
The Empress every single word or phrase slowly said, “Back then, someone made a mistake. Now, it is time for them to pay the price.”
Rong Shaoge was stunned, and then he understood.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Bai Duan bowed and quickly said, “Yes, the doings of the United States should be punished now!”
As for their the Rong family, the Empress didn’t want to abandon their chess piece. As long as they were in be firm and secure, they would definitely be fine.
