Chapter 384 Graphic Code
He Jingheng looked at him coldly without saying a word, but one could read the meaning in his eyes, which was: So what if I'm disobedient?
Emperor Tianshun's face turned pale. He Jingheng didn't look at him again and turned to the ruins.
"Sir, it's still a little dangerous here, please wait in the back!"
He Jingheng shook his head and continued walking into the ruins.
"Sir!"
"He Jingheng, get back here!" Emperor Tianshun said angrily.
I thought that even if He Jingheng didn't come back, he wouldn't move forward. But unexpectedly, he seemed to have heard nothing and continued to walk inside with firm steps.
Emperor Tianshun gritted his teeth. Even if Shang Ruoyi got into trouble in the palace, he could still use an accident to shut up the Duke Ding's Palace. But if He Jingheng got into trouble again, he was afraid that the Duke Ding's Palace would really rebel.
At this time, Prince Ding and his wife heard the news that Shang Ruoyi was murdered in the palace, and they rushed to the palace without stopping.
When the two of them arrived, there were already hundreds of imperial guards lying around He Jingheng, including several highly skilled secret guards.
These secret guards are all around the emperor. Needless to say, they are skilled in martial arts, but they are still no match for He Jingheng.
He was really ruthless today, and anyone who dared to step forward to stop him was beaten half to death by him.
Concubine Zhao exclaimed when she saw this: "Your Majesty, this Prince Ding has gone crazy! He is actually doing such a rebellious thing in the palace. He is rebelling! Rebellion!"
"Shut up." Emperor Tianshun whispered, "The Dingguo Palace is different from other noble families. If you really anger them, the consequences will be disastrous. What are you, a woman in the harem, doing here with so much chatter?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuch beside him came over and said, "My Lady Imperial Concubine, please go to the side hall to rest first. The smoke here is heavy, don't let it choke you."
Seeing that the emperor had no intention of punishing her severely, Concubine Zhao had to leave, although she was unwilling.
Just after He Jingheng knocked down the last guard, he turned around and continued walking inside.
"Jingheng." Prince Ding and Princess Ding walked forward quickly and saluted Emperor Tianshun: "Your Highness."
Princess Ding walked directly to the ruins. At this moment, a huge wooden board fell down and was about to hit Princess Ding.
"Princess, be careful!"
Upon hearing this, He Jingheng hurriedly flew forward and took his mother away.
"Jingheng." Princess Ding grabbed his arm. Just when everyone thought she was worried about He Jingheng, she said, "Where's Ruoyi? Where's Ruoyi?"
"I didn't find her."
They all knew that the Lanqing Palace had become a ruin. If Shang Ruoyi had not escaped at that time, she would have been burned to death long ago, and there would be no possibility of survival.
"Impossible! Impossible!" Princess Ding's hands trembled: "How could she die?"
"I don't believe it either." He Jingheng looked at the ruins. At this moment, a screen caught his attention. The screen was made of jade, so it was not damaged.
I saw a few familiar marks on it. If you don’t look carefully, you will just think they are the marks left by something hitting it.
Just then, he suddenly remembered the pictographic code she used when training Suzaku.
"The clouds rise!"
"My subordinate is here."
Yunqi walked quickly to his side, and when he saw the sign, his eyes lit up.
He lowered his voice and said, "The Crown Prince's Consort is fine."
He Jingheng's anxious heart finally settled down, but he didn't show it on his face.
Just then, Concubine Zhao walked out from the side hall.
She said hesitantly, "It's my fault. If I hadn't called her to talk, this wouldn't have happened."
He Jingheng said coldly, "I really don't know what the Queen wants to say to my wife." At this point, he was unwilling to hide anything and said without any consideration, "The Royal Concubine has always been at odds with our Dingguo Palace. The Queen should not say that you feel that you are compatible with Ruoyi. Such excuses may be used to coax a three-year-old child, but I am no longer three years old."
Concubine Zhao looked a little unhappy.
She didn't expect that he would do this for a woman and disregard the royal family's reputation. Wasn't she afraid that the emperor would be furious and punish the Dingguo Palace?
"Have you found the cause of the fire?" the emperor asked coldly.
"Your Majesty, this morning, the Imperial Concubine said that the palace was a little hot, so she asked a few servants to carry some charcoal down. The eunuchs saw that the charcoal fire had gone out, so they lazily moved to the side window. However, the charcoal used in the Imperial Concubine's palace was all silver charcoal. Even when the charcoal was ignited, you could only feel the heat, but not the flames. The charcoal basin ignited the curtains by the window, and the sparks fell into the palace. To prevent insects from eating, the Imperial Concubine's palace was painted with special tung oil a few days ago. If the tung oil is exposed to the sun for a long time, it will not catch fire. Unfortunately, the sky has been cloudy these days, and the tung oil floats on the surface. The whole palace will instantly become a sea of fire."
Upon hearing this, Princess Ding burst into tears even more. She was already heartbroken knowing that she had been murdered, and to hear that she had died in such a tragic way was even more difficult to accept, and she fainted.
Upon seeing this, Prince Ding hurriedly sent Princess Ding back to the palace.
He Jingheng did not leave, but continued to send people to search. For several days in a row, they had searched the ruins thoroughly but did not find any clues.
Concubine Zhao stood in the distance, looking at the busy guards in Lanqing Palace, and whispered: "Bixi, is there still no news about the killer from Southern Xinjiang?"
"My queen, not yet." Bixi said softly, "My queen, has the killer also been burned to death?"
"Humph, I was going to let him die here anyway." Concubine Zhao sneered, "How dare a mere assassin ask me for so much reward? Why should I keep him alive? Besides, he is an assassin, not a death warrior. He knows my identity, which means I have more leverage in his hands. Such a person must not be allowed to stay."
"Your Majesty is wise."
Concubine Zhao sneered: "When I am truly above everyone else, the world will be in my hands. Before that, I will eliminate all those who pose a threat to me." The corners of her lips curled slightly, her eyes full of greed.
"Your Majesty is right. The Princess of Prince Ding is ungrateful. If she is willing to serve you, you will definitely not treat her unfairly."
Concubine Zhao smiled and said, "Of course. I gave her face, but she refused! She even threatened me with the fetus in her belly. I can only take her life. After all, only the dead can truly keep secrets."
Bixi's pupils shrank slightly when she heard this. She had done so many things for her. Would there be a day when the Queen would silence her?
"The prince summoned you to the East Palace recently. What did he say?" She whispered, "Watch your mouth. Do you understand?"
