After rebirth, she married the prince of the enemy country

Chapter 544
Emperor Zhao's words were concise and to the point, there was no anger on his face, but his voice cooled down.

He stared at Wu Yongda for an instant, as if waiting for his explanation.

Wu Yongda immediately knelt down, "Your Majesty, it's my fault for failing to manage my subordinates well."

"It's not your fault, maybe it's mine!"

Emperor Zhao turned up the volume a little, and looked coldly at the man kneeling on the ground five steps away.

"I asked you to be in charge of the imperial guards to protect the safety of the palace. Now that there are assassins in the imperial guards, you, the deputy commander, cannot escape the blame."

Wu Yongda didn't make sophistry, and directly admitted, "Yes."

His forehead was pressed tightly against the floor, and his attitude was extremely sincere, which made Emperor Zhao feel angry.

Suppressing the discomfort in my heart, I couldn't help but put my fist on my lips again, coughed twice, and my lungs were burning hot.

Seeing this, Xizi hurried over to comfort him, "Your Majesty, calm down."

"Stop your anger?" Emperor Zhao finally found an outlet, "Ahem, it's been a long time in peace, have you forgotten how to write the words "preparing for danger in times of peace?"

A good slave should not only ask for his health, but also be ready to be a punching bag at any time.

Wu Yongda immediately said, "I don't dare to forget, I have neglected my duty, please punish me by the emperor."

Emperor Zhao took a few sips of hot tea, barely suppressed the itchiness in his throat, and did not speak again.

The imperial study room was quiet for a while, only the sound of wind whizzing past against the palace wall outside could be heard.

Wu Yongda silently waited for Emperor Zhao's punishment to come, but his mind gradually became active.

From the corner of the eye, he glanced at the man who was tied up.

He didn't issue an order, how could someone attack Emperor Zhao?

When he couldn't figure it out, a deep and angry voice fell from the top of his head, "As the deputy commander of the Imperial Army, he has not strictly supervised his subordinates and disciplined them. .Do you have any objections?"

"The minister accepts the punishment, and there is no objection."

"Also, I will give you three days to find out the person behind the assassin and give me a satisfactory result. Otherwise, you, the deputy commander of the forbidden army, don't have to do it."

Wu Yongda's eyes flickered, and he kowtowed again.

The old emperor spoke hard this time, and his strikes were also ruthless.

He had to wonder if the other party had discovered something.

Emperor Zhao couldn't see his expression, and didn't know what he was thinking, so he just snorted coldly, "Go down."

"Yes."

Wu Yongda thanked him and came out, and the hidden guards escorted the assassin to the prison.

This hidden guard is a member of Emperor Zhao.

Rumor has it that there were twelve hidden guards around Emperor Zhao, all of whom were highly skilled in martial arts, and the dragons could see the head but not the tail, so over the years, no matter how many assassins had mixed into the palace, they had all been beheaded.

Otherwise, Emperor Zhao would have died countless times in this perilous imperial city.

Emperor Zhao stared at Wu Yongda's footsteps gradually walking away, holding a notebook in his hand, but couldn't bear to read it, and casually put the pen aside.

The anger on his face has slowly dissipated, and his eyes are cold and sharp.

Unexpectedly, for so many years, there would be a wolf dormant beside him. If he hadn't been careful in Jingshan Temple and sent someone to watch secretly, he would not have discovered Wu Yongda's many small movements.

Some of them seemed innocuous, while others were already bouncing around his bottom line.

As for whether there is something hidden deeper, we have to continue digging.

Emperor Zhao sat quietly for a while, smelling the faint smell of medicine on the tip of his nose, and asked, "Why did the incense change today, it doesn't smell good."

Xizi hurriedly said, "This is specially ordered by Imperial Physician Gao. It is often heard that it is good for the body. This servant specially put it on this morning."
