Chapter 467 I’m so happy
When Luo Sinian saw Ji Yuntang speaking for him, he felt slightly touched. He couldn't help but look at Ji Yuntang, as if to say: Thank you.
Emperor Jingyang frowned. He knew it very well that Ji Yuntang wanted to use this achievement to promote Luo Sinian.
A terrifying thought suddenly occurred to him: Could it be that these five hundred assassins were arranged by Ji Yuntang?
She and Luo Sinian directed and acted in this play themselves.
But this idea did not last long, and Emperor Jingyang denied it!
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
There was no need for Ji Yuntang to spend such a huge price for Luo Sinian, and she had no reason to do so.
Retracting his thoughts, Emperor Jingyang said: "Prince Chen did a good job in this matter. He led the troops to rescue the people in Prince Ye's Mansion in time. I will count your great merit as a great achievement and promote you to the commander of the patrol camp!"
"Princess Ye, I wonder if you are satisfied with this result?"
Ji Yuntang smiled slightly, "As long as His Royal Highness Prince Chen is satisfied."
Luo Sinian immediately knelt on the ground, "Thank you, father, for the promotion."
It can be seen that he was satisfied with this title, which was two levels higher than his previous position.
Ji Yuntang said again: "Your Majesty, although I don't know who sent those assassins to kill us, this undoubtedly shows that the Night Palace has been targeted by someone and it is not safe!"
"So, I have an unwelcome request. I wonder if the emperor can agree to it?"
Emperor Jingyang knew that Ji Yuntang was not easy to get rid of, so he asked: "What do you want? Just let me know!"
"In order to prevent those people from coming back, I want His Royal Highness Prince Chen to lead the troops to protect Prince Ye's Mansion for a month. No one can be allowed in without the order of this princess and the prince. I wonder if the emperor can agree to this?"
Emperor Jingyang originally thought that Ji Yuntang would ask for a huge amount of money, but he didn't expect her to make such a request. This was absolutely no pressure at all for him.
He secretly cursed Ji Yuntang for being stupid in his heart. She didn't even know how to cherish such a good opportunity to be rewarded.
But he agreed immediately, "Okay, I promise you, I will let Prince Chen lead the troops to protect you for a month, and the patrol of the city will be temporarily handed over to the Imperial Guards!"
Ji Yuntang was delighted, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
In a few days she will go to Western Shu Kingdom with Hua Feixue, and she is worried about no one protecting her in the Night Palace.
Asking someone else to come would be too conspicuous, and Ji Yuntang didn't trust him either.
Just this opportunity came, so she felt relieved to let Luo Sinian stay to protect the Night Palace!
Huaqing Palace, this is where Luo Jingshen lived before he established his own mansion.
He didn't dare come to the Council Hall, for fear that if he made a wrong expression or movement, Ji Yuntang would find out.
Therefore, Luo Jingshen had been sending people to inquire about the news in the Political Affairs Hall, and any news they got would be reported to him immediately.
At this time, a eunuch came to report, "Your Highness, the Emperor has promoted His Highness Prince Chen to the position of Chief of Patrol."
Luo Jingshen frowned, "Investigate and report again, and focus on finding out information related to Princess Ye. I want to know what she said and did in front of my father."
After a while, another eunuch came to report, "Your Highness, this time it's about Princess Ye."
"Hurry up and tell me." Luo Jingshen asked impatiently.
"She said she wanted His Royal Highness Prince Chen to send troops to protect Prince Ye's Palace for a month, and the Emperor agreed!"
Luo Jingshen was furious when he heard this, "Useless, can't you get some useful information?"
Is it something he cares about whether Prince Chen will be promoted or not and whether Prince Ye’s palace will be protected?
He just wanted to know whether Ji Yuntang had given him away.
Luo Jingshen didn't dare to say this directly, so he asked in a more tactful way.
"Did you hear, did they find out who the culprit behind the assassination is?"
The young eunuch shook his head. "I didn't hear this. Princess Ye and Prince Chen didn't seem to say anything either. Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly ask this?"
Luo Jingshen narrowed his eyes, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.
"Nothing, go down, and don't tell anyone you saw me today."
The young eunuch took the order and said, "Yes, Your Highness, I will take my leave."
But as soon as he turned around, a sharp sword pierced his chest. The young eunuch looked at the bloody hole on his chest and fell to the ground in disbelief.
Luo Jingshen drew his sword, blood splattered all over the ground, his face grimly said: "Don't blame me for being cruel, because only the dead can keep secrets forever."
Even though the little eunuch was someone he had planted in the palace, at this critical juncture, Luo Jingshen did not trust anyone.
He glanced at Linchuan and ordered: "Take his body away and dispose of it. Be careful not to let anyone see it."
Lin Chuan responded respectfully, "Yes, Your Highness."
Luo Jingshen sat and waited in Huaqing Palace for as long as Ji Yuntang stayed in the Council of State.
His initial panic turned into calmness.
Luo Jingshen felt that if Ji Yuntang had really given him up, Emperor Jingyang would have sent people to arrest him long ago!
The fact that she hadn't come for such a long time meant that she had no idea that he had arranged this.
And there were no spies around him.
After Ji Yuntang and Luo Sinian came out of the Political Affairs Hall, they went back home respectively, and Luo Jingshen's heart was completely settled.
He sat in the carriage and asked Linchuan to deliver the message to King Nan Xiao.
"Go tell Fourth Uncle that I'm fine for now, and tell his men to withdraw. There's no need to wait any longer!"
Linchuan took the order and went there immediately.
Luo Jingshen's mood improved, and he went straight back to the East Palace humming a little tune.
As soon as he got off the carriage, he happened to see Hua Feixue standing at the door looking around. He mistakenly thought that she was waiting for him, so he walked up to her and hugged her in his arms.
"Little Snowflake, have you been waiting here for a long time?"
Hua Feixue rolled her eyes silently, thinking that Luo Jingshen was really narcissistic.
She was waiting for someone, but not for him. She was waiting for the maid Hongtao who was going to buy cold pot skewers for her.
Hongtao has been gone for nearly half an hour and has not come back yet.
Hua Feixue was really craving for that one!
Even though she was complaining in her heart, Hua Feixue had a beautiful smile on her face. She acted coquettishly and said, "Yes, I have been waiting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a long time."
"I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been busy with recently. He is like a dragon that is hard to find. I can't find His Royal Highness even if I want to."
Luo Jingshen came back very late last night, smelling of alcohol.
As soon as the sun rose today, he hurried out.
Hua Feixue guessed that it might be related to the assassination. Judging from his appearance, it was most likely unsuccessful.
Luo Jingshen was in a good mood today. After learning that no one doubted him, he felt relaxed.
He took Hua Feixue's hand and walked towards the mansion.
