Chapter 435: The Empress Dowager Knows the Truth

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the Purple Mansion Hall, Emperor Jingxuan was reviewing memorials. Eunuch Quan rushed to the door. “Your Majesty, I have something to report!”

Ever since Emperor Jingxuan was poisoned last time and Eunuch Fu had contributed by siding with Princess Jingning to protect him, Eunuch Quan had almost become invisible beside Emperor Jing Xuan.

Now that he finally had some news, he naturally had to show his face to Emperor Jingxuan.

“What is it?” Emperor Jingxuan asked.

Eunuch Quan walked in and bowed. “The Empress Dowager was assassinated!”

Emperor Jing Xuan’s expression changed. “Is the Empress Dowager injured?”

Eunuch Quan hurriedly said, “I heard that Lord Wei arrived in time. The

Empress Dowager is fine.”

Emperor Jing Xuan was relieved and said calmly, “Leave.”

Eunuch Quan was stunned.

Was that it?

Shouldn’t he send him to welcome the Empress Dowager at the entrance of the palace? Or should he wait for the Empress Dowager to return to Yongshou Palace before reporting to His Majesty?

Eunuch Fu glanced at him indifferently.

Eunuch Quan left unwillingly.

Emperor Jing Xuan picked up the memorial that he had been halfway through reading. “Summon Wei Ting.”

Wei Ting escorted the Empress Dowager back to the palace. When he heard that Emperor Jing Xuan had summoned him, he immediately came.

“Your Majesty.” Wei Ting bowed.

Emperor Jing Xuan looked at the blood on his clothes and shoes and asked calmly, “I heard that the Empress Dowager was assassinated. You appeared in time and chased away the assassin. Do you recognize him?”

Wei Ting shook his head. “No. That group of assassins was very cunning. Seeing that they couldn’t defeat us, they fled on their own. I was worried that it was a decoy strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so I didn’t dare to chase after them rashly.”

Emperor Jingxuan asked, “Why did you appear nearby?”

Wei Ting said seriously, “I met a senior brother of the Dragon Temple at the entrance of a medicine shop in the evening. I heard from him that Abbot Yuan was sick, so I went with him to visit him. Halfway there, I heard the Imperial Guards shout, ‘Protect the Empress Dowager.”‘

Emperor Jing Xuan’s expression did not change at all. “I heard that you even saved Qin Canglan’s granddaughter?”

Wei Ting’s handsome face darkened. “It was too dark and I didn’t see clearly… I thought she was the Empress Dowager’s palace maid… If I had known…

He didn’t finish the sentence.

However, with the regretful expression on his face, anyone could guess that he did not want to save the Qin family at all.

Emperor Jing Xuan asked Wei Ting to go back first and called the commander of the Imperial Guards over.

“Have you found out who did it?” he asked.

The commander of the imperial guards knelt down and begged for forgiveness. “Your Majesty… the clues are gone…’

Emperor Jing Xuan frowned. “What do you mean by no clues?”

The commander of the Imperial Guards braced himself and said, “After Lord

Wei and his subordinates repelled the assassins, the two of them escorted the Empress Dowager back to the palace first. We carried the corpses of the two assassins onto the horse and planned to bring them back to see if there were any clues on their corpses. But… but that group actually turned back and snatched the corpses away…”

In a dark alley, a carriage turned sharply and stopped. The person in the carriage rolled down with a plop.

Then, he jumped up and pointed at a black-clothed and masked coachman. “Hey! Yuchi Xiu! Do you know how to drive a carriage!”

Yuchi Xiu said arrogantly, “It’s your fault for not being able to sit steadily!”

“Isn’t that because you didn’t untie me?

“Can’t you loosen it yourself?”

Of course, Fu Su could loosen it himself. This kind of lousy rope could not tie him up, but he was not home yet. He had to put on a show!

Fu Su was a loyal secret guard and would definitely obey his master’s orders.

Yuchi Xiu was different. He was used to being sneaky and lazy. If he could be lazy, he would be lazy. Wei Ting couldn’t even see him, so what was the point of acting?

“I’m leaving!”
