Chapter 116

Everyone in the Imperial Study Room unanimously felt a cold chill, and couldn’t help s.h.i.+vering!

“It’s very likely . ” Yan Ran replied calmly in response to the cold aura of Feng Tingye . He had a calm face, but he was crying for help in his heart .

Why was he always getting injured or targeted? How much debt did he owe this dog couple in his previous life, that he is tortured by them so much in this life? !

“Hmph, dare to play tricks to deceive Ai Fei, they really are brave . If Ai Fei knows, who knows how sad she will be!”

“…” Majesty, is that the most important point here?

Yan Ran and Leng Ruofeng twitched their mouths, looking innocently at the sky . Serving a man who was gradually becoming a slave to their wife is so f**king unbearable .

“Speaking of which, where did Ai Fei go?” Feng Tingye turned his head and glanced at Xiao Shunzi who was guarding him .

Xiao Shunzi hurriedly stepped forward and said: “Reporting to Your Majesty, this afternoon, Niang Niang brought her group of Ya Tou to General He’s Mansion . ”

“General He’s Mansion? What is Ai Fei doing in He’s Mansion?”

“Chen heard that early in the morning, Miss Yun Xi’s father had gone over to the He Mansion . Lady Yun Xi was worried about her father causing trouble, so she requested Niang Niang to allow her out of the palace, as a result…… ”

“The result was that Ai Fei wanted to join in the fun, so she went to He Mansion with that Ya Tou?”

“…Your Majesty is wise . ”

Feng Tingye put his chin in one hand and stopped talking, there was a little more complication in his face .

“Speaking of which, if there is something wrong with that Ya Tou, Wen Zhong has been very close to her recently . If he rashly makes a move at that Ya Tou, I’m afraid Wen Zhong will be hurt . ” Yan Ran pondered for a moment, and said ecstatically .

Although these remarks were very euphemistic, the people present were all people who have grown up together, so how could they fail to hear the deep meaning behind these words . The iron tree has finally bloomed flowers, spring has come to the withered tree . That silly big fool has also been enlightened and is able to fall in love with someone . If the girl does have bad intentions, they are afraid that it will leave an incurable…crack on the big silly fools gla.s.s heart?

“Wen Zhong is innocent . He doesn’t understand anything other than leading soldiers to fight . If that little girl isn’t good, we should find out the matter earlier on, so that Wen Zhong will not be hurt more severely in the future and suffer for a lifetime . ”

After Feng Tingye spoke, everyone in the room was silent . At this moment, there was a knock on the door .

“Your Majesty, Xu Lao has an urgent need to see you . ” The eunuch’s sharp announcement came in from outside .

Feng Tingye squinted his eyes slightly, as if thinking of something, he stood up and said, “Please come in, Xu Lao . ”

Before he could say anything, Xu Lao had already walked in with a cold expression . After he closed the door, he just stepped forward and said: “Your Majesty, this old man is here today because of the a.s.sa.s.sination of my little apprentice not long ago . ”

Several people’s faces changed slightly and they stood up in unison . Although Xu Lao was difficult to deal with normally, he rarely says such anxious words . Most of the time, he was very disrespectful and gave them a headache . Moreover, he usually calls Feng Tingye as Feng boy, but today he respectfully called him Your Majesty . This showed that what he was going to say next was no small matter .

Feng Tingye seemed to have antic.i.p.ated Xu Lao’s intentions early on, so he was not too surprised . He only raised his eyebrows and said, “Has Xu Lao found some clues?”

Xu Lao pursed his lips and said solemnly: “To be honest, the a.s.sa.s.sins who a.s.sa.s.sinated the little apprentice this time were… people under this old man’s third apprentice . No…no, it should be said that the a.s.sa.s.sins who entered the palace to a.s.sa.s.sinate were from the old man’s third apprentice . ”

“Xu Lao’s third apprentice?” Yan Ran exclaimed, “Isn’t the third apprentice of Xu Lao’s from Jiang Hu? How could he get involved in the royal disputes?”

Yan Ran’s question made Xu Lao a little embarra.s.sed: “Ahem, the old man’s third apprentice is indeed from Jiang Hu, but he also opened a killing business to make money . ”

“People from Jiang Hu who opened a killing business to make money?” Shao Zitong shook his head . Suddenly remembering that besides Xia Yuqing, these disciples basically had very ordinary backgrounds in the field, a conjecture emerged in his mind, “Xu Lao, you didn’t fancy the money that could be earned by this killing business and was planning for them to fund your expenses used for mechanisms right…”

Shao Zitong’s straightforward words made Xu Lao lose face . He glared at him angrily and said: “How is that possible?”

“Oh…”

“However, he provided a large part of the old man’s machinery and materials . “

“ …” It turned out to be true! Several people rolled their eyes, they somehow suddenly sympathized with the disciples of Xu Lao’s who were seen as his G.o.d of Wealth .

“That, don’t interrupt him . Let Xu Lao continue . ” It was Leng Ruofeng who brought the topic back .

After his reminder, Feng Tingye’s face was slightly dark . A bit of killing intent emerged from his narrow and long phoenix eyes: “What is going on?”

Xu Lao sighed softly: “That day In Xiefang palace, I happened to see a piece of jade sc.r.a.p slip out from the a.s.sa.s.sin who was dragged out . The texture of the jade sc.r.a.p is the same as the logo that my third apprentice once showed me . Everyone in their business would wear one that is very similar . That night, I wrote him a letter to ask about it, but he denied it . I had mentioned to him that his junior apprentice is this Ye Kingdom’s Niang Niang, but although he is stubborn and mischievous, he would not kill his junior sister . ”

“Then why did Xu Lao just say that those a.s.sa.s.sins are under your third apprentice?” Yan Ran heard the words and immediately jumped out and interrupted him . He still remembered what Xu Lao said when he entered the door . How could he say that his third apprentice did not do anything to that Ya Tou?

“That’s why I just changed what I said . The a.s.sa.s.sins who entered the palace to a.s.sa.s.sinate belonged to my third apprentice . ” Xu Lao glared at him and said in an upset manner .

Yan Ran touched his nose, and looked at Leng Ruofeng . There was something a little unclear . Feng Tingye understood a little bit and guessed: “Could it be that your third apprentice didn’t know that the a.s.sa.s.sins a.s.sa.s.sinated Ai Fei? ”

Xu Lao shook his head: “My third disciple is also very confused on why his people would appear in the palace . After finding out the features of the a.s.sa.s.sins, I found a mistake . ”

“… mistake?!”

“Yes, the orders he received from the a.s.sa.s.sins were not for the a.s.sa.s.sination of my little apprentice, but… the girl named Yun Xi next to my little apprentice . ”
