Wu Quan knelt on the ground, recalling:

"Before, when I was transporting orphans, I overheard Zhuang Master Zhao mentioning that the person in Changle Palace wanted him to send more assassins into the palace."

"This is all the information I know about that important person, and there is absolutely no fabrication!"

Jiang Chen sat upright in the main seat, quietly sizing him up for a while. After confirming that he wasn't lying, he spoke blandly:

"Alright, I understand. I will have someone verify this later. You better not be deceiving me!"

"Also, do you have any accomplices outside? Especially Zhao Minghe's subordinates!"

Wu Quan shook his head, denying it: "No, after the Zhuang Master was captured, our organization fell apart."

"Even this assassination was organized by me, with the sole purpose of avenging Zhuang Master Zhao. No one instructed us."

A thoughtful look flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes, and he raised an eyebrow: "If what you say is true, how did you know my whereabouts?"

"A powerless and uninfluential martial artist was able to find out the whereabouts of the current emperor. Is that reasonable?"

Being pointed out the loophole in his words, Wu Quan was stunned for a moment, and then explained: "A mysterious person told me the news!"

"I wanted revenge for a long time, but I couldn't find an opportunity. Later, a mysterious person took the initiative to contact me and told me you were in the suburbs of the Imperial Capital, so I rushed over."

"Mysterious person?" Jiang Chen repeated, flames of anger burning in his eyes.

He exuded killing intent and said, "Good, good. There are really a lot of these treacherous insects. I will find them sooner or later and crush them to death!"

Although he had found the leader of the assassins lurking in the palace, a mysterious person suddenly emerged.

Jiang Chen was extremely frustrated!

"Men, keep them under strict surveillance. No mistakes are allowed. If they commit suicide out of fear of punishment like Zhao Minghe, you will be buried with them!"

"Also, today's interrogation is not allowed to be spread. Those who disobey will be killed without mercy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the prison knelt down: "We respectfully obey Your Majesty's decree!"

Jiang Chen didn't stay any longer. His face was as cold as frost as he strode away, and Feng Jin and the others behind him didn't dare to breathe loudly.

Walking out of the imperial prison.

Jing Yue stepped forward and whispered into Jiang Chen's ear: "Your Majesty, should we..."

As she spoke, she raised her slender hand and struck towards the distant Changle Palace!

Jiang Chen's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a deep voice, "No, Lu Wangshu holds the title of Imperial Concubine Dowager and is my elder. She has a high position and great influence in the imperial clan. In addition, she has an extraordinary background and a wide network of contacts. We can't take her down with just Wu Quan."

"Moreover, my Great Wei governs the country with filial piety. If I really attack her, I really won't be able to get rid of the tyrant label."

Jing Yue nodded, a helpless look flashing across her cold face.

"For now, we can only wait for Lu Wangshu to take the initiative to attack, and wait for me to get the evidence before I can deal with her justly."

Jiang Chen's calm tone concealed a chilling killing intent, and he ordered: "From today onwards, monitor Lu Wangshu without any blind spots!"

"I want to know everything she says every day, where she goes, and who she meets!"

Recalling the scenes of their previous meetings, the anger in Jiang Chen's heart grew even stronger, and the hazy affection in his heart turned directly into hatred!

He hated being fooled the most, and this Lu Wangshu had been playing him from beginning to end, constantly violating his taboo.

After investigating the truth and finding out those who conspired to rebel, he would personally punish this woman and make her completely regret the crimes she had committed!

"By the way, Your Majesty, Divine Doctor Zhang has given his reply. The test results of those herbs are out." After Jing Yue took the order, she spoke again, her expression very solemn.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen frowned and said in a deep voice, "Something's wrong?"

Jing Yue nodded and lowered her eyes: "These herbs contain a large number of aphrodisiac ingredients. If taken for a long time, they will greatly damage the body and shorten life!"

Hearing this, Jiang Chen's face darkened!

These herbs were all prepared for him by Mei Ruoying. This poisonous woman wanted him to die young!

"Send more people to search for this bitch Mei Ruoying. I want to skin her alive!"

"Also, Jing Yue, you personally lead a team to the Imperial Hospital and arrest the imperial physician named Chen Yunfei and interrogate him severely!" Jiang Chen said, word by word, his terrifying gaze seeming like he would start killing in the next second.

Jing Yue did not dare to delay and nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

After arranging everything.

Jiang Chen took the dragon carriage to Qingwan Zhai.

Everything that happened today made him urgently need to vent.

He thought that after Mei Wenshi fell, everything would end, and the power in the court would be smoothly taken back into his hands.

But he didn't expect the power of the rebels to be so great, not only involved with aristocratic families, the imperial court, and the martial world, but even the imperial concubine dowager was involved!

"Lu Wangshu, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Could it be that you are still delusional, thinking that your two mediocre sons can sit on the throne?"

Jiang Chen muttered to himself, a look of disdain flashing in his eyes.

He would eventually make these people understand that the world of the Great Wei could only be ruled by him!

After a while, the dragon carriage stopped.

Jiang Chen stepped into the quiet palace surrounded by the crowd.

Liu Huixin had received the notice of the emperor's arrival early and had been waiting outside the door. Hearing the movement, she quickly stepped forward to greet him.

Jiang Chen didn't stand on ceremony, picked her up by the waist, and strode into the bedroom.

Soon, groans and pleas for mercy echoed in the inner殿, particularly seductive...

At the same time, in a secret residence in the Imperial Capital.

Mei Ruoying was dressed in sackcloth, standing in the study, a resentful look floating on her delicate and noble face.

"Zhao Minghe's subordinates are really a bunch of trash!"

"Jing Yue, that bitch, isn't around, and there are few guards around the dog emperor. They can't seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They deserve to be caught!"

In the center of the study, Jiang Zuo Wang sat at the table, holding a cup of tea, his expression very calm.

His extraordinary demeanor and handsome face could simply captivate ninety percent of the women in the Imperial Capital.

He tapped the table lightly, and said calmly: "Calm down. If the emperor was so easy to kill, how could your father have been defeated so miserably?"

"Although Jing Yue is not here, the imperial guards around Jiang Chen are not vegetarians. In addition, there are those troops stationed in the suburbs of the Imperial Capital. It is normal for the assassination to fail."

Mei Ruoying adjusted her expression and sat down gracefully, a faint coldness appearing in her beautiful eyes: "Since Your Highness has already anticipated the ending, why didn't you stop me? Aren't you afraid that this failure will alert the emperor?"

Jiang Zuo Wang curled the corner of his mouth and said gently: "This King knows that you have resentment in your heart."

"From the beginning of sending you into the palace to the destruction of the Mei family, you have sacrificed too much for the great cause. Therefore, this King can tolerate your willfulness this time!"

Hearing this, a complicated emotion flashed in Mei Ruoying's eyes. She looked at the man in front of her, the coldness in her expression slightly dissipating.

With a hint of admiration, she said: "Then Your Highness, do you care about my sacrifice?"

Jiang Zuo Wang did not speak, his calm eyes did not fluctuate in the slightest.

In his heart, the most important thing was only the supreme throne!

Everything else could be abandoned...
