Su Miao unconsciously clenched her palms, suddenly raised her eyes to look at his cold face, “A few days ago he sent me back to the palace that time, he had already noticed that there was a problem in the Extinction Palace. However, I told him that I can’t do anything to the Extinction Palace without conclusive evidence, so I let him continue to lurk in the Extinction Palace as an undercover agent, and inform me in time if there is anything.”
Without flickering or avoiding looking at the man’s black eyes that were full of anger, she slowly and methodically said, “It’s just a pity that today’s assassination was arranged too hastily and ordered directly by the Absolute Slaughter Palace’s Palace Master, so even if he was the Hall Master, he didn’t receive the news in advance and could only rush here with them. The fact that he stood by my side just now to protect me is the greatest evidence of this.”
As soon as the words fell, the scene fell into an eerie silence.
Seung Yeong’s gaze grew more and more complicated, staring deeply into her face.
As Di Bei Yu looked at her fearless face, the remaining light from the corner of his eye swept over Cheng Ying’s eyes that were gently glued to her face again, it was as if a fire that couldn’t be extinguished had suddenly ignited in his heart, and all of his patience had been provoked to the greatest extent in an instant, with the momentum of a prairie fire.
“In that case, why didn’t you say so just now?”
His face clouded over, word by word, “Or maybe you’d rather believe the bullshit now than help him to the end?”
“No.”Su Miao paused for a moment, “Originally, I didn’t want to say it in front of so many people, or else the Extinction Palace would most likely hunt him down. However, in order to avoid the Emperor treating this person as an accomplice of the assassin, I can only give a truthful account.”
“Su Miao!”
A voice that gritted his teeth.
The atmosphere at the scene became more and more frozen, a tit-for-tat cold silence and solemnity.
Di Ronghua really couldn’t stand to watch, snapped and stepped forward, “Imperial brother …… since it was this person who helped imperial sister-in-law, let’s have a good conversation, if there are any questions we can also ask him, he should also answer them, right?”She hurriedly looked at Cheng Ying, “Right?”
Seung Shadow narrowed his eyes, “Yes.”
The emperor laughed heavily and coldly.
Cheng Ying lowered his eyes and added, “Anything that the emperor wants to know about the Extinction Palace, as long as it is known by the grass people, I will definitely know everything.”
Di Bei Yu’s face was filled with sneers as he whisked his sleeves away.
“Bring him back!”
This time, he used bring, not tie.
The guards understood and walked over to Cheng Ying, respectfully using the word ‘please’.
Cheng Ying smiled at her, still with the same warm smile as when they first met, “The cleaner is the cleaner, no need to worry.”
Su Miao originally wanted to follow up and ask what happened, but after Di Ronghua and Di Jinghong exchanged glances, they came up at this time and pulled her back, weakly saying, “Miao Miao, if you don’t want to make him even more unlucky, it’s better to go back with me first.”
Su Miaomiao pursed her lips, and her shoulders that had been stiff and firm since just now, steeply loosened up at this moment.
It was as if they had suddenly become powerless after using all their strength.
But she clearly did not do anything, how could she use all her strength?
Su Miao clenched her palms, and that very shallow wound suddenly transmitted a few twinges of stinging, numbing pain.
It was not obvious, but it was impossible to ignore.
…………
The Imperial Palace.
Today’s assassination was unsuccessful, but it still caused no small amount of panic, and a few ladies were even injured.
But thankfully, it was all minor injuries.
The surviving assassins who were caught back in the palace were all dead soldiers, and several took the opportunity to commit suicide. But the guards watching the interrogation were prepared, and then those couldn’t die.
Cheng Ying was not put in jail, but was left in the palace ……
