"This father-in-law looks a bit familiar. Have we met somewhere?" Ning Chen stared at the old eunuch and said. The old eunuch looked at Ning Chen, "Ning Yinyi probably recognized the wrong person?" "Really? The last time I went to the nursery, I remembered that we had met." The words "nursery hall" made the old eunuch's eyes tremble. "Ning Yinyi must have admitted the wrong person. I have never been to the nursery." Ning Chen snorted, "Maybe I made a mistake... This father-in-law must be pretty good, right?" "This old slave doesn't know martial arts, he's just an ordinary person." Ning Chen smiled slightly and bowed to the Queen, "Since the silver was not given by the Queen, I will resign!" The queen nodded.
Ning Chen turned and left. He was almost certain that the person who assassinated him and the person who hurt Yudie were sent by the Queen. After Ning Chen left, the queen's face turned cold, "This little bastard must have discovered something?" The old eunuch nodded slightly, "Your Majesty is right, otherwise he would not come to Furong Palace." The queen gritted her teeth and said, "We must find a way to get rid of him. I have a feeling that sooner or later, this little bastard will ruin our big things." The old eunuch said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I will definitely find a chance to get rid of him." The queen waved her hand, "We can't send anyone to assassinate him for the time being. Our several assassinations have failed. Ning Chen must be on guard... If you want to get rid of him, you have to start from other aspects." "What do you mean, empress?" "Huai'an's birthday will be in a few days. This is an opportunity for us. I will make arrangements when the time comes." On the other side, Ning Chen and Ninth Princess walked out of Furong Palace. "Princess, I have to leave first!" "Ah? Are you leaving now?" Ning Chen looked at her puzzled. The Ninth Princess hesitated for a moment and said, "Ning Chen, are Miss Yudie okay?" Ning Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, "Did the princess hear something?" "What's the meaning?" Ning Chen stared at her for a while and said, "I am too sensitive... Yudie was assassinated last night and was seriously injured." The Ninth Princess was shocked, "Assassination? How is she now?" "I was almost paralyzed. Fortunately, the palace doctor has superb medical skills. I should be able to get out of bed in a while."
Ninth Princess waved her hands repeatedly, "I didn't do it." "Um?" "Don't pretend to be stupid. Your reaction just now was clearly suspicious of me." Ning Chen smiled bitterly, "I am too sensitive. I have never doubted the Ninth Princess... and the Ninth Princess has no reason to hurt Yudie." The Ninth Princess raised her head and said, "You are smart!" "The minister resigned!" The Ninth Princess nodded with some reluctance. Ning Chen turned around and left. He did not leave the palace, but came to the imperial study room. "Ning Chen, how is Miss Yudie?" Emperor Xuan looked at Ning Chen and asked. Ning Chen leaned over, "Thanks to His Majesty's timely dispatch of the imperial doctor, I believe she will recover after a while." Emperor Xuan nodded slightly, "What do you want from me?" "I'm here to see Eunuch Quan." Eunuch Quan was slightly startled. Ning Chen smiled and said: "Eunuch Quan, can you lend me a moment to speak?" Eunuch Quan looked at Emperor Xuan. Emperor Xuan nodded. Only then did Eunuch Quan follow Ning Chen outside. "Lao Quan, you are the general manager of the palace. I want to ask you about someone... Do you know the father-in-law who serves the queen?" Mr. Quan said impartially: "Are you talking about Li Quanhai?" "I don't know his name. He is an old eunuch. He is quite young." "That's Li Quanhai." Ning Chen nodded and asked, "Does he know kung fu?" Eunuch Quan nodded, "Yes, my skills are very good." Ning Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. Eunuch Quan asked curiously: "Why are you asking about Li Quanhai?" Ning Chen shook his head and clasped his fists, "It's okay. I just asked casually and I felt that he was quite powerful... Boss, I'm leaving now. See you later!" Eunuch Quan looked puzzled and turned around and walked into the imperial study.
Emperor Xuan glanced at him. Quan's father-in-law immediately said, "Master Ning asked me whether Li Quanhai, who is next to the queen, knows martial arts?" Emperor Xuan frowned, "Why is he asking about this?" "My servant asked, but Mr. Ning didn't say anything." Emperor Xuan pondered for a moment and said: "Ning Chen will not inquire about a person for no reason. Why don't you secretly investigate this Li Quanhai and see if there is anything weird about him?" Eunuch Quan hurriedly said: "Yes, I obey the order!" ... In the afternoon, Ning Chen came to the palace again. At the same time, he also brought someone, the young man who was captured by him. Nie Liang was on duty in the afternoon, and he looked curious when he saw Ning Chen bringing a man covered with bruises. "Ning Chen, what are you doing?" "I'm here to file a complaint. Is Your Majesty here?" Nie Liang nodded, "Wait a moment! I'll go in and report." After a while, Nie Liang came out. "Your Majesty lets you in!" Ning Chen handed the young man to Nie Liang's custody, and then walked into the imperial study. As soon as he came in, Ning Chen knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I want to file a complaint." Emperor Xuan looked at Ning Chen and couldn't help but laugh. "Get up and speak. Tell me, who bullied you? I will make the decision for you." Ning Chen stood up, with a serious look on his face, and said, "Your Majesty, I was investigating the matter of fairy powder in the palace, and was assassinated on my way back." Emperor Xuan's face darkened, "I know about this. Geng Jing has already reported it... and I have ordered him to investigate." Ning Chen continued: "Last night, someone pretended to be someone from the Supervisory Department, threatened and bribed Yudie to help get rid of me... After Yudie refused, he was so crazy that he wanted to burn Yudie to death." Emperor Xuan said in a deep voice: "I also know about this... I heard that the person who hurt Miss Yudie happened to be caught by you? Did you find out anything from the interrogation?" "Your Majesty, I learned from the killer... Someone has been using the nursery as a cover to train those homeless children into death warriors." Emperor Xuan's face completely darkened. "Your Majesty, I brought the killer... According to his account, the person who trained them was a eunuch, and he was very old." Emperor Xuan frowned, thinking of Ning Chen and Quan Sheng asking about Li Quanhai before. "Are you saying that the person who trained those homeless children into death warriors is in the palace?"
Ning Chen nodded. "Do you suspect it's the queen?" Ning Chen was shocked and looked at Emperor Xuan in astonishment. Emperor Xuan said in a deep voice: "Quan Sheng, go find Li Quanhai." "Yes!" Eunuch Quan walked away in small steps. Ning Chen understood immediately. He asked Eunuch Quan about Li Quanhai, and Eunuch Quan turned around and told His Majesty about it. But if it was really Li Quanhai, then the person behind it was the Queen. Emperor Xuan did not hesitate to find Li Quanhai to confront him... Could it be that His Majesty had been thinking about the Queen for a long time? "Ning Chen, who do you think is more suitable to inherit the throne, the Crown Prince or the Third Prince?" Emperor Xuan suddenly said this, which made Ning Chen feel nervous. What does Emperor Xuan mean? Ning Chen had no time to think deeply, so he could only make a bitter face and said in panic: "Your Majesty, I am just a little silver clothes, and I have no right to speak on such matters." Emperor Xuan snorted coldly! "You kid are just pretending to be stupid? The Crown Prince is honest and kind, and the Third Prince is brave but not wise... I prefer the Crown Prince, but the Crown Prince is weak." Grass! ! ! The prince is kind and honest? You really don't understand your son. He is so sinister. Ning Chen complained madly in his heart. But he also saw through His Majesty's mind. The sentence that the prince is weak explains everything. The third prince has the queen behind him, and the grand master who is about to return to the court. In comparison, the prince is indeed weak. No wonder Emperor Xuan did not hesitate to let Eunuch Quan go to Li Haiquan to confront him. If the third prince ascends the throne, the mother is strong and the son is weak, and there will be endless troubles. It seems that His Majesty really wants to move the queen to pave the way for the prince. Maybe His Majesty is disgusted with the queen. It is really a disgrace to the state to have a woman who is uglier than a nanny as the queen. But why move the queen at this time? You must know that the queen is the mother of a country. Once she is moved, it will involve a lot.
Ning Chen is a little bit confused about Emperor Xuan's thoughts. "Your Majesty is in the prime of life, isn't it too early to consider these things now?" Emperor Xuan smiled and said, "Some things need to be determined early... Otherwise, if I die one day, the Great Xuan will be in chaos." Ning Chen was stunned, "Your Majesty can actually say the word death so calmly, I admire you!" "Why can't I say it? I am also a human, not a god. After all, there will be a day of birth, aging, sickness and death... I also want to live forever, but is it possible?" "Looking at the dynasties, which monarch can live forever?" Ning Chen admired Emperor Xuan from the bottom of his heart. It is rare to see such a monarch who holds the power of the world and can face death so calmly. As he spoke, Eunuch Quan brought Li Quanhai. "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!" Li Quanhai knelt down and kowtowed. Emperor Xuan glanced at him, then his eyes fell on Ning Chen, "Where are the people you brought?" "Outside, guarded by Commander Nie." "Bring them in!" "Yes." Ning Chen went out, brought the young man in, and pressed him to kneel on the ground. When Li Quanhai saw the young man, his face changed drastically. Emperor Xuan examined the young man and pointed at Li Quanhai, "Do you know him?" The young man was terrified, probably because he didn't expect to see the emperor in his lifetime? He turned his head and stared at Li Quanhai for a while, and suddenly shouted: "Father?" Li Quanhai's face turned pale, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. He shouted in a weak voice: "Who are you? I don't know you at all." "Father, save me, father, save me...I can't stand it anymore. He burned my vitals with an iron and made me ride a wooden donkey. Father, save me..." Emperor Xuan's mouth twitched and he glanced at Ning Chen. If he remembered correctly, the wooden donkey was used to deal with female prisoners. This guy actually used it on a man. No wonder the killer was so scared? Ning Chen said sternly: "Are you sure it was him?" The young man nodded desperately, "It's him. Although he has no beard, I can still recognize him." Emperor Xuan said sternly: "Li Quanhai, what else do you have to say?" Li Quanhai trembled all over and said in a trembling voice: "I am wronged. I don't know this person at all... Please Your Majesty, please understand."
Emperor Xuan snorted coldly and said: "Li Quanhai, it takes a lot of time to train a death warrior, right? I just need to send someone to check your record of leaving the palace, and everything will be clear." Eunuchs leaving the palace are all recorded. As a person close to the queen, it is normal for Li Quanhai to leave the palace... But if he leaves the palace frequently, there will be problems. Li Quanhai's face was pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Emperor Xuan angrily said, "Who asked you to train the assassins? And who asked you to assassinate Ning Chen? Li Quanhai, why don't you tell the truth?" Li Quanhai turned his head and glanced at the young man next to him, his eyes gradually becoming fierce, "We provide you with food and drink... You, a waste, not only did you mess up the job, but you also dared to bite us back." After saying that, he suddenly made a move, and his two fingers, like knives, pierced into the young man's throat like lightning, killing him in one blow! Ning Chen was shocked. He didn't expect Li Quanhai to dare to take action in front of His Majesty? He drew his sword in an instant and slashed at Li Quanhai. Who knew that Li Quanhai rolled on the ground, dodged Ning Chen's knife, stood up, kicked his feet, and rushed towards Emperor Xuan.
