The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 426 I Want Mutual Love Between Us

Shen Jin didn't care at all about the consequences of her words.

She remained calm.

"Those Imperial Guards who rushed in are either dead or wounded. Many of them have their skin burned so badly that you can see their bones. I beg Your Majesty to consider their merit in saving the Emperor and to make proper arrangements for them."

Does she really care about other people's lives?

It was just that I was thinking of the Taoist priest who had been invited into the palace by the emperor.

They just didn't want the Ying family to have an easy time.

With just a few simple words, Emperor Yingqian's heart sank to the bottom of the sea.

Is Eunuch Tu dead?
Then why didn't the fifth brother die?

Others were injured so badly.

Why is there only a few bubbles in the fifth one?
Looking at him again, he was lying on the couch, feeling unwell.

Emperor Yingqian suddenly remembered what Baopu had said.

Is it because the fifth brother has the protection of dragon energy?

Is he bad, but the fifth brother is better?

Indeed, after today, I'm afraid the Fifth Prince's virtuous reputation will spread far and wide.

Emperor Yingqian's face suddenly darkened.

The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes: "Speaking of which, today's fire is truly strange. It's still burning now, and no amount of water can help; in fact, it's only getting stronger. I'm afraid the entire Hall of Mental Cultivation will need to be rebuilt."

Wasn't the Yu family's fire the same thing back then?

The purpose was to burn everything to the ground, leaving no trace.

He once wanted the entire Yu family to die without a burial place, but today someone else wants to kill him too.

who is it?

Is Wei Zhao or Gu Fu Ju seeking revenge?

But it doesn't seem like it.

They're intelligent people; they wouldn't deliberately set a fire to recreate the scene. Wouldn't that make them the prime suspects?
Otherwise, how could the Empress Dowager have brought it up directly in front of him?
Is he the fifth son?

Ying Yin was always deep-seated and couldn't exclude him. Was he deliberately trying to shift Ying Yin's suspicions towards Wei Zhao and Gu Fuju in this way?
To be put in a desperate situation and then survive?
Of course, it might be the second child, who knows?

He never considers the consequences of his actions.

Otherwise, that idiot wouldn't be lame.

After all, if the second-in-command doesn't make a move, the shadowy figure will.

Emperor Yingqian's eyes grew increasingly dark, and his sinister aura intensified.

I feel like nobody's good!
When the Empress Dowager returned to Cining Palace, her expression turned cold.

She looked at Shen Jin.

"Did you see the person who rescued the emperor?"

Empress Dowager: "When did you appear, and when did you leave?"

"When did such a person emerge from the Hall of Mental Cultivation?"

actually……

"Only save the emperor."

If it weren't for Ying Yin's good fortune, something bad would have happened to him.

"I didn't see any faces."

Shen Jin: "However, I have seen the pictures and text on that outfit before."

The Empress Dowager gestured for her to speak.

Shen Jin was silent for a moment, then said in a slightly hoarse voice, "General Jingyuan was once wounded, and the same brand was left on his wound."

This is incredible.

The Empress Dowager immediately instructed her trusted confidants to find a way to send the message to the Grand Tutor's residence.

But the next moment.

Which time were you injured?

"That time in Beijing."

The Empress Dowager nodded, her mind preoccupied and restless, when she suddenly turned around abruptly.

"its not right."

"If I remember correctly, he was injured in the back that time. The late Emperor was still alive at the time and was very anxious when he heard about it. He specially invited the imperial physician over."

"I've never heard of any patterns on them. How do you know?"

Shen Jin remained silent.

Naturally, he broke into the Duke of Shun's mansion in secret, and led by Wei Fengyuan's confidant, he went inside and directly pulled open his clothes to look.

Yes, it was the first time she had seen a man's body.

It has a very powerful feel to it.

Another place.

"You're crazy."

Xiao Huaiyan pointed at Wei Zhao and cursed him.

"I know that with your abilities, you can move freely in and out of the enemy camp, and you even broke into the palace. We have people in the palace to help you, and you also have people in the Imperial Hospital. The Fourth Prince agreed and was willing to curry favor, but there are still risks involved. It's one thing for you to give the dog emperor the drug that Elder Ge gave him, but why did you also burn down the Hall of Mental Cultivation?"

Wei Zhao said listlessly, "I'm very sad too."

Xiao Huaiyan: ?
Wei Zhao: "What if I have to pay for the reconstruction?"

Xiao Huaiyan: ...

"No way, he wouldn't be that shameless."

Wei Zhao: "He woke up quite quickly."

Xiao Huaiyan: "Yeah, he didn't lose any arms or legs. That bastard's got a tough life." Wait a minute...

Who's going to discuss this with you?

"What would you do if those people in the shadows dragged you out on the spot?"

We've only just started the war; we haven't yet openly broken off relations.

Wei Zhao was indifferent.

"will not."

"I scouted the area before I made my move, and there was no trace of the dark figure inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

"The other day, while cleaning the ancestral hall, we found a handwritten note left by an ancestor of the Wei family. The shadowy figure is not a force cultivated by the dog emperor, nor does it belong to the late emperor; it was left by the founding emperor."

"Generation after generation, they have only served the emperor."

Therefore, the shadowy figure only saved Emperor Yingqian, disregarding the life or death of Ying Yin.

"But the founding emperor feared that his descendants, in the midst of this prosperous era, would forget the path their ancestors had paved step by step, the path they had forged. They could not share the good times, but they could share the bad. With too many thoughts, they would seize power and, like eagles soaring in the sky, look down on everyone. Their decrees would be like thunder, brooking no dissent. The tower of power would rise high into the clouds, but as soon as the foundation of the tower began to rot, the foundation of the nation would crumble."

Very prescient.

"The shadowy figure is loyal to the emperor and rarely shows his face except when necessary. He would never help with anything immoral or immoral."

Wei Zhao: "I don't know how the late emperor allowed the shadowy figure to injure my uncle."

However, he had to admit that the late emperor was truly skilled at managing people.

At least Emperor Qianlong could not have done it.

Wei Zhao: "Since there was no breath, and I had never noticed anything unusual about my surroundings when I entered the palace to see the dog emperor over the years, I took a test."

"really."

Those people didn't appear immediately, so they didn't provide close protection.

So the dog emperor suffered some minor injuries.

Old Ge's poison burned fiercely in the flames. Everyone present inhaled some of it.

He was poisoned.

Of course, the main reason Wei Zhao did this was to force out the shadowy figure.

"Did you take a test?"

Xiao Huaiyan was still shaken by the experience. He angrily applied medicine to Wei Zhao's bleeding arm to stop the bleeding: "The dog emperor was saved by the shadowy figure, and Ying Yin didn't die either. You turned around and fought with a shadowy figure who caught up with you? And you ended up like this?"

Wei Zhao: "Why didn't you say I would have killed him too?"

but.

They were afraid of revealing their identities.

Xiao Huaiyan: ...

Yes, yes, you're amazing, you know what you're doing.

You even let the water out.

You deliberately used the fighting style of the people around the Second Prince Yingzhi in your fight.

You've dragged Ying Zhi into this too.

However, as more shadowy figures appeared and their attacks became increasingly deadly, Wei Zhao struggled and stopped testing the waters, trying to escape.

Xiao Huaiyan was furious and increasingly wary of the strength of those shadowy figures.

But the thought that Wei Zhao would eventually be disciplined by Yu Tingwan made him feel good.

He began by asking, "I knew you knew Ying Yin would save people, but how did you manage to keep him unharmed?"

"Is this difficult?"

Wei Zhao scoffed: "Do you really think he'll save anyone if he goes in?"

It's just for show.

Perhaps he could find a safe place, somewhere with a smaller fire, to linger for a while. If the shadowy figure hadn't rescued him so quickly, Ying Yin might have already emerged from inside, weak and exhausted.

Whether the dog emperor appears or not, or whether he gets into trouble, it will be beneficial to him.

He certainly wouldn't let himself get into too much trouble.

"Aren't you afraid that the dog emperor will think of the Yu family because of the fire and hold you responsible for it?"

Wei Zhao remained calm, his expression revealing his understanding of human nature: "This dog emperor has a flaw—he thinks too much."

Too many hidden thoughts. Too much suspicion.

Xiao Huaiyan: ...

Makes sense.

Wei Zhao said smugly, "Now it's Ying Fuyan's turn."

Yes.

That's none of his business anymore.

Xiao Huaiyan will be able to take a short break for a few days.

He was in great spirits.

"Wei Zhao, I'm getting married, you know that, right?"

Xiao Huaiyan was deeply moved.

"I've been so busy these past few days that I haven't had a moment to breathe. I've seen you and Ying Fuyan the most. If I keep looking at them, I'm going to throw up!"

"I'm going to find Shen Zhiyi and get to know her better."

His eyes gleamed with arrogance, and he shamelessly declared, "I want a relationship where we both love each other."

Wei Zhao recalled what he had learned from Yu Tingwan about Shen Zhiyi's rampage in the Shen family these past few days.

He didn't really want to discourage Xiao Huaiyan.

But Wei Zhao felt that people had to be realistic.

"Save it."

He said quietly, "Given her current state, it would be a miracle if she didn't stab anyone, let alone have a crush on them."
