Chapter 670 The Night King Enters the Palace
Eunuch Zhang stood aside, not daring to breathe, for fear that Emperor Jingyang would use him as a target.
Liangzhoukou has always been a place of exile for corrupt officials, and Emperor Jingyang would confiscate their property before exiling them.
He obtained a lot of property from these officials whose properties were confiscated.
As for Liangzhoukou, that place was remote and barren, and he had never paid any attention to it.
The city lord at Liangzhoukou had never written a memorial to the emperor seeking his help.
Emperor Jingyang was also happy to be free. In his opinion, since the other party did not write a memorial to ask him for help, it meant that everything was fine in Liangzhoukou.
Naturally, he wouldn't have to spend too much time thinking about things over there, and he would naturally save money.
Such a balance was maintained between the imperial court and Liangzhoukou.
Although Emperor Jingyang knew that Liangzhoukou was definitely not as stable as he imagined.
But now, the appearance of Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe has completely broken this balance.
They exposed many problems in Liangzhoukou to the surface, allowing more people to see the current situation there.
For example, natural disasters and droughts, human trafficking, oppression of the people, or collusion between officials and businessmen...
As a result, the imperial court had no choice but to mobilize manpower and financial resources to take care of it.
Emperor Jingyang cursed Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe in his heart.
They are just two guards. Is it necessary for them to go through so much effort and go there personally to rescue them?
It would have been fine if they had just rescued people, but they had blatantly committed a prison break. They had completely disgraced the court and themselves.
At this moment, the person who was angry was not only Emperor Jingyang, but also Concubine Li in Weiyang Palace.
Concubine Li learned from Jianlan that Luo Junhe and Ji Yuntang were not dead and had returned to the capital alive. She smashed all the vases in anger.
"Useless, all of them are useless. There are so many of them but they can't even kill two people."
"They are the most powerful guards around Luo Chengyuan, but now it seems that they are just like this."
Jian Lan stood aside and whispered, "I heard that King Ye and Princess Ye have experts helping them."
"Commander Jin brought ten Jin Gong Guards to fight them. The martial arts of both sides were basically the same. In the end, only Commander Jin escaped."
Concubine Li frowned, her confusion deepened, and she vaguely felt that something was not right.
She murmured, "How could Luo Junhe have such a powerful secret guard to help him?"
According to what she inquired, when Luo Junhe and Ji Yuntang left the city this time, they did not bring any guards with them.
How is it possible that there was no one when I left, but there were so many helpers when I came back?
Moreover, if Luo Junhe really had secret guards with such high martial arts skills staying in the Night King's Palace, then why did these people never come forward to help him even once when he was bullied all these years?
This time when they went to Liangzhoukou, they had already successfully broken into the prison and rescued the people. Did they still need the secret guards to protect them?
Concubine Li felt that something seemed to be wrong with this matter, but she couldn't figure out what it was.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind.
"Could it be that this secret guard was trained by Ji Yuntang?"
The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
It may take others more than ten years to train a secret guard.
But if Ji Yuntang were to do this, she felt that it wouldn't take that long.
After all, she had never understood Ji Yuntang, and he never played by the rules.
When Concubine Li thought of this, she clenched her fists tightly and said through gritted teeth: "Ji Yuntang, Luo Junhe, I must kill both of you to relieve the hatred in my heart."
She knew clearly that if she failed to get rid of Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe this time, the prince would be the one in trouble next time.
During this period of time, the relationship between the Crown Prince and Concubine Li has been harmonious.
Although the other party has never called her "Mother" in person.
But Luo Jingshen is no longer so averse to her.
This was a good sign for Concubine Li, as it meant that their mother-son relationship had been eased.
Concubine Li believed that as long as she treated Luo Jingshen well, it wouldn't take long before the other party would completely accept her and King Nan Xiao.
And her way of being nice to Luo Jingshen was very simple.
In addition to financial support and verbal care, we also help the other party get rid of their worries.
Luo Jingshen's biggest worry right now is no one other than Luo Junhe.
Thinking of this, Concubine Li decided to take another risky step.
If Emperor Jingyang cannot kill Luo Junhe and Ji Yuntang this time, then she will get rid of them herself.
Thinking of this, Concubine Li looked at Jian Lan and ordered: "Go out and keep an eye on them. If anything happens to Luo Junhe and Ji Yuntang, come back and report to me immediately."
She knew that Emperor Jingyang had summoned Luo Junhe and Ji Yuntang to the palace.
She wanted to see how Emperor Jingyang would deal with the two of them.
Having said that, Concubine Li actually didn't have any hope for Emperor Jingyang.
She felt from the bottom of her heart that Emperor Jingyang was far inferior to King Nan Xiao.
At least King Nan Xiao was able to remain calm and patient for decades in order to seek revenge.
But if it were Emperor Jingyang, he simply wouldn't be able to do this.
However, he, a dignified emperor, was repeatedly defeated by a little girl named Ji Yuntang.
Sometimes, there is nothing we can do about her.
This made Concubine Li despise Emperor Jingyang very much.
Having been an emperor to this extent, he might as well abdicate and pass the throne to Luo Jingshen.
This way, they can avoid intrigue and fighting against each other.
But Concubine Li knew that Emperor Jingyang regarded the throne as more important than anything else.
If anyone dared to covet his throne, he would be ruthless enough to get rid of that person, even if that person was his own son.
It was also because of this that Concubine Li was able to sow discord between Emperor Jingyang and Luo Junhe, causing them to kill each other.
Whenever she thought of this scene, she felt extremely happy.
If Emperor Jingyang knew that the person he wanted to kill was the Empress's legitimate son, the real Crown Prince, I wonder how he would react.
Concubine Li felt that at that time, the expression on the other person's face would be very interesting.
At the same time, Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe had already arrived at the palace gate in a carriage.
When they stepped down from the carriage, everyone's expressions were as if they had seen a ghost, and they were stunned.
Ji Yuntang raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at them with a teasing remark.
"Why, seeing a man as handsome as His Majesty the Night King, you can't even bow?"
Everyone: "..."
Everyone: "!!!"
After they came over, they all knelt on the ground and saluted.
"Your subordinate greets His Royal Highness the Night King and the Night Queen."
Luo Junhe glanced at them and said with his thin lips: "Everyone, get up."
