Chapter 153 Hu Baodun was completely dumbfounded.

Hu Fulai and his companions dared not speak out in anger. They had dared to shout before because the sky screen had remained silent, simply hanging in the sky and playing the daily life of Chaochao, which made them feel uncomfortable, jealous, and hateful.

But now, they have personally witnessed someone lose their life right before their eyes because of a single sentence from Chaochao, and in such a tragic way that their eyes were blinded.

Just thinking about it sent a chill down their spines.

After a moment of reflection, Lin Lan couldn't help but sigh again, saying with some disappointment, "We've been saved, but all the energy that Chaochao had painstakingly accumulated is gone."

Hearing this, Hu Fulai and the others breathed a long sigh of relief.

Da Ya said, "Don't worry, Chao Chao's energy level is accumulating very quickly. Not long after Chao Chao went back, it broke 1,000. Moreover, her father has a charitable foundation, which gave Chao Chao an extra 300 today alone. As long as this happens three or four times, she will break 1,000 again."

Hu Fulai and the others, "..."

While everyone was chatting, the imperial guards on the ship had already finished interrogating the few assassins who had managed to escape with their lives.

However, when the head of the guards came out of the cabin, his face did not look good.

Lin Tian was the first to see him and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "Sir, have those people confessed? What did they say...?"

The guard leader was wiping the blood off his hands. After cleaning them, he said, "They've confessed, but there aren't many useful clues."

"What, what do you mean?" Scholar Guo stepped forward and asked.

“Those guys were just small fry. According to them, the leaders who were in charge of them were all dead, and they didn’t know the bigger leaders.”

Therefore, their interrogation made little progress.

According to them, they originally planned to act after dark, but the guards on the ship noticed something was wrong and the ship suddenly sped up.

They had no choice but to act ahead of schedule. The sounds Da Ya had heard earlier were the sounds they made in their haste to prepare for their operation.

The order from above is for them to take Lin Lan and the others away as much as possible. If they can't take them away, then leave a few alive and kill the rest.

After these words were spoken, the expressions on Da Shan and the others all changed.

Kill them all? That's incredibly ruthless.

Jiang Laosan was so frightened that his body trembled. He hurriedly got up from the deck, took a few steps forward, and asked anxiously, "Will they come back? You must find out where they came from and send troops to wipe them out!"

The guard leader gave him a cold look. "Since when did it become your place to give me orders?"

Jiang Laosan hurriedly took two steps back, his heart trembling.

Liangping snorted coldly, "What are you afraid of? Chaochao's wish is for us to be safe and sound in the future, so we will definitely be safe and sound in the future."

Hu Fulai exclaimed, "You make it sound so easy! That girl was talking about you, not us. How can our safety be guaranteed?"

He hadn't forgotten that when the two bandits tried to kill him, there wasn't a single light in the sky, let alone any unusual activity.

Only after he pushed Aunt Yu out did the sunlight suddenly shine down.

He felt that if he hadn't dodged in time, he would have been killed on the spot.

Hu Fulai's words were met with complete silence.

After a long pause, Lin Lan snorted coldly, "You still have the nerve to say that? It's your own fault for not behaving properly. You bullied Chaochao before, and this time, you're pushing Aunt Yu forward as a shield. You're shameless scoundrels, you deserve your bad luck." "You..."

Seeing that they were about to start arguing again, the guard leader said impatiently to Hu Fulai and the others, "Alright, you're getting cocky now that we've given you a little respect? Go back to your cabins."

Hu Fulai dared not speak his anger to him, and could only beckon Zheng Shi and Hu Baodun to go inside.

But after taking only two steps, Zheng suddenly exclaimed from behind, "It's so hot, husband, Baodun is so hot!"

Hu Fulai took two steps forward and then realized that his son was delirious from the fever.

The guard leader frowned and called the doctor over to examine him.

However, Hu Baodun's fever did not completely subside throughout the night, fluctuating intermittently. By the next morning, the fever finally broke, but Hu Baodun could no longer recognize Hu Fulai and his wife.

He was originally just a bit irritable and simple-minded, but now he's become a complete idiot who can't even control his eating, drinking, or urinating.

Hu Fulai and Zheng cried and wailed, their heart-wrenching cries startling Lin Lan and the others.

Even Jiang Laosan and Kuangzi were a little scared by their crazy appearance. The two of them ran to the guard and kept kowtowing, begging him to change their cabin.

They didn't ask for anything fancy, they just wanted to live separately from the Hu family of three.

The guards were indeed worried that Hu Fulai and his wife might do something rash while they were in an abnormal state, so they changed them to a separate cabin.

Fortunately, they are not far from the capital and should arrive in a few days.

The people on the ship were all hoping to reach their destination as soon as possible, but they were afraid that such an assassination attempt would happen again.

Emperor Jingxuan was also eagerly awaiting their arrival.

The next day was the day for court. Emperor Jingxuan sat on the dragon throne, listening to the ministers below discussing the matter of the energy value being reduced to zero the previous day.

Before they could reach a conclusion, Cao Qing quietly handed over a memorial, "Your Majesty, this is a report from the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guards."

Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guards?
Emperor Jingxuan was invigorated, knowing that the investigation on the ship had yielded results.

He hurriedly took the memorial, and upon opening it, he was so shocked by its contents that he suddenly stood up.

His gesture was a bit too exaggerated, and the ministers below, who had been discussing animatedly, were immediately drawn to his action, all of them looking up at him in a flurry.

Emperor Jingxuan's fingers gripped the memorial tightly as he looked at the bizarre events described on it and took a deep breath.

"It's true, it really is true."

Not only was it true, but it was also done in such an unbelievable way that Lin Lan and her group escaped danger.

Seeing the emperor's unusual expression, the civil and military officials, especially the Grand Tutor and others standing in the front row, noticed his constantly changing expressions. After a moment's thought, they stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, is this a memorial regarding the incident that happened to Lin Lan and her party yesterday?"

Emperor Jingxuan closed his eyes slightly and nodded, "Yes, you should all take a look."

He sat back down and handed the memorial to Cao Qing.

Cao Qing quickly stepped down the steps and presented the document to the Grand Tutor and the others.

The ministers behind the Grand Tutor gathered around, curiously looking at the contents. Some even read it aloud so that the ministers a little further away could hear it.
