Reborn to overthrow the throne, I became the new emperor's dark moonlight

Chapter 118 The Emperor Leads a House Search

Even though Cao Ying had the emperor's trust in the past, he was only the chief steward in front of the emperor, and in the final analysis, he was just a servant.

Su Heting is the emperor's son and the master of the palace. How can Cao Ying, a servant, have the right to tolerate him?

She wanted to cause trouble for Qiao Xi and Su Heting, but she didn't dare to be so arrogant. She said hurriedly, "As the chief steward in front of the emperor, I must prioritize the safety of His Majesty. It's suspicious that the Second Prince is trying to stop me."

Su Heting sneered, "It seems that you are indeed perverted. You can't sleep because of loneliness, so you want to disturb everyone else's sleep."

Then he stopped looking at Cao Ying and said to the leader of the imperial guards, "You can search the house, but you imperial guards cannot go in, and neither can the eunuchs."

Then it can only be the palace maids and the nannies.

The leader of the imperial guards had already seen Su Heting's slightly swollen lips. As a man himself, he knew very well what Su Heting had just done, and he also understood why he didn't want the imperial guards to enter.

Which man would be willing to let other men into the room when he is having sex with his wife, so that they can see his wife's beautiful face after having sex?

What's more, Princess Chaoyang is such a delicate person.

So he nodded and prepared to ask his servants to find a few old maids.

Then Cao Ying said, "No, this is a matter of your majesty's safety, how can we be so careless?"

Qiao Xi came from a secret factory and had her own way of covering up her tracks. How could ordinary palace servants possibly notice anything?

What's more, the eunuch only saw a dark shadow breaking into Linghua Pavilion and had no other evidence. If he delayed any further, Qiao Xi would probably have taken care of everything.

By the time the imperial guards sent someone, the opportunity was already lost.

Su Heting suddenly lost his patience. "This won't work, and that won't work. Father hasn't told me yet that this palace is ruled by someone like you."

He said to the leader of the Imperial Guards, "Go and invite the Emperor."

Cao Ying said to the eunuchs he brought with him, "Go in and search."

Those eunuchs were all Cao Ying's confidants. They often followed Cao Ying to show off their power in the palace and were not afraid of the new second prince.

But just as he reached the door, he heard a click.

Su Heting actually broke the neck of the man who hit him in the head.

The eunuch whose neck was twisted slowly slid to the ground, and the others were so shocked that they quickly stepped back.

Even the imperial guards felt a chill on their backs.

Su Heting's face darkened. "I couldn't understand it before. The princess is the orphan of a meritorious official, and was personally appointed by His Majesty as the Princess of Chaoyang. How could she have such a weak personality and be as frail as a sick cat?

Today I finally understand. You broke into her boudoir whenever you wanted, and you ignored my words.

With such arrogant servants like you around, how can she, a helpless person, have a good life?

I'm afraid that the medicine used to treat her illness before was also tampered by you, otherwise why did her health get better after arriving in northern Xinjiang?

Tonight, I will ask my father to investigate thoroughly and find out how many atrocities you slaves have committed behind my back."

Chen Shan has been a bit free recently, so when he leaves the palace tomorrow, he will let him publicize what happened tonight. By then, the more the emperor is questioned, the more he will hate Cao Ying for causing trouble.

"King of Jiangbei, this is the imperial palace, not a rural village. You can't speak nonsense without evidence."

Cao Ying was furious.

How could Qiao Xi be weak? She killed people without blinking an eye and twisted people's necks as fast as the King of Jiangbei.

Recuperating in the deep palace was just an excuse the emperor gave to the outside world, but she couldn't say it.

He could only angrily say, "It's a simple matter to search the house after discovering the assassin, but you insist on making excuses. It's obvious that there's something fishy going on."

The more they try to stop them, the more it shows that they are guilty.

Su Heting glanced at her and said, "Since you said that I have no evidence, where do you get the evidence to prove that there is an assassin in my room? Just based on the words of this little eunuch?

As for why you didn't let the man into the house, how could you, someone who has never been loved in your life, understand the reason?"

These words really hit Cao Ying in the heart.

She opened her mouth to say something, but Su Heting said, "I'll wait for my father to come."

He opened the door, entered the house, and slammed the door shut.

In the room, Qiao Xi gave him a thumbs up, and Su Heting rubbed her head lovingly.

Cao Ying helped the emperor to falsify Qiao Xi's memory, and then repeatedly sent people to harm Qiao Xi. Su Heting felt that just beating her up was not enough to vent his anger.

The other party was eager to cause trouble, which gave him another chance. Tonight, he would definitely make Cao Ying regret coming here.

When the emperor heard that there was an assassin in the palace, he was favoring his new concubine.

Su Heting had mentioned the Queen in front of him before, which made him feel angry and he wanted to vent.

But all the substitutes for the queen had been dealt with, so they randomly picked a concubine of low family background and covered that person's face with the queen's portrait.

He was so carried away by lust that he lost his composure and suffocated the concubine to death.

Finally, it leaked out from the corpse. When the emperor was feeling unlucky, he heard the report of the assassin outside the door, and suddenly he felt angry again.

Why is nothing going well?

Filled with anger, he asked Eunuch Wu to help him dress, and he listened to the whole story while he was getting dressed.

He snorted.

It’s Cao Ying again.

Eunuch Wu asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, are you going to go there?"

The emperor's face darkened. "Is Cao Ying still there?"

The imperial guards outside reported back, "Yes, the situation is still at a stalemate."

In this case, the emperor had no choice but to make the trip.

Otherwise, his image as a loving father during the day would be in vain, as he would just watch his son being troubled without showing any reaction.

As for Cao Ying, seeing that Su Heting did not come out for a long time after entering the house, he knew that nothing would be found tonight.

In the end, it was because of his own anxiety, Cao Ying felt a little regretful.

But she was unwilling to leave like this, as Su Heting might even bite her back and accuse her of deliberately causing trouble.

But seeing that the person who came to invite the emperor had not arrived yet, and considering that Su Heting came today, the emperor was afraid that when he saw him, he would think of the queen.

The emperor was not a lustful man, but whenever it came to matters concerning the queen, he would look for substitutes.

He hasn't come for a long time tonight. I'm afraid he is favoring a concubine again. If he is disturbed halfway, she might be blamed.

Thinking of this, Cao Ying finally decided to take a step back and look for opportunities later.

But as soon as she turned around, the door opened.

Su Heting came out with Qiao Xi in his arms, a hint of sarcasm hanging on the corner of his lips, "Are you scared?"

Cao Ying knew that Su Heting was trying to provoke her and didn't want to pay any attention to him.

Then he heard Su Heting say to Qiao Xi, "Now we see, these slaves are all bullies who only bully the weak and fear the strong.

She's just like your maid Bixiang. Why should you be afraid of her?

That Bixiang is now covered in grass. Next time you are bullied by this kind of person, you should fight back. I will support you in everything."

He was teaching his wife very seriously, but it made Cao Ying furious.

They killed Bixiang and still dared to mention Bixiang in front of her.

"The princess is really good at both tactics and scheming. In order to avoid being married off from the palace, she pretended to be sickly and weak."

Cao Ying gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you consider that Bixiang has taken care of you for many years and tried her best to cover up for you, you shouldn't have killed her."

She was refuting Su Heting's words, and she said that Qiao Xi was pretending to be sick when she was recuperating in the palace.

It also implies that Qiao Xi is ambitious and does not want to marry out of the palace in order to marry a man who can live in the imperial palace.

The men in the palace are either princes or emperors.

This is full of malice.

An ordinary man would definitely feel resentful towards Qiao Xi after hearing this, but Su Heting is not an ordinary person.

"You and the Marquis of Changning seem to be of the same lineage. You only like to sow discord between us, but you are not actually colluding with the Marquis of Changning. It is you who wants to harm my life."

When the original owner just came out of the mountains, everything seemed new to him. For a while, he loved watching the women in the village quarrel. Su Heting was no longer afraid of quarrels and nonsense.

He was quite impressed with his acting today, and said thoughtfully, "Looks like I need to ask Father to look into this as well."

The emperor who just arrived, "..."

He brought Su Heting back to Beijing in order to use him.

Why is it that he arranged so many things for me?

Before he had time to think deeply, Su Heting saw him, looking a little aggrieved, "Father, didn't you say your son would be bullied when he returned home?"

He grumbled in dissatisfaction, "My son finally managed to coax Xier to stop blaming me, but now these bastards are messing with it. It's really annoying."

emperor,"……"

He was also very annoyed.

Therefore, he looked at Cao Ying with an unhappy expression and winked at a man in black behind him. The man understood and took a few women into the house.

Although he was annoyed by Cao Ying's troublemaking, he also didn't trust Su Heting, so he felt more at ease if he investigated further.

The men in black who entered the house to search were all female spies from the secret factory. Su Heting had no reason to stop them, but when Qiao Xi saw the face of the leader clearly, his heart skipped a beat.

But Cao Ying couldn't hide her joy. The person she had been waiting for finally came back.
