Regent, the princess you found is a treasure

When Xuan Haotian arrived at the imperial study, he saw several adults already waiting outside the study.

The imperial guards were waiting on the other side. The injured imperial guard was being supported by two other team members. His injured leg was shaking and blood was still dripping from it. He was sweating profusely from the pain, but he still gritted his teeth and endured it.

Xuan Haotian walked up to the imperial guard and stopped, looking at the wound on his leg. He had never seen what weapon had caused it.

"Take it to the imperial physician." He said to a young eunuch behind him.

"Yes." The young eunuch quickly stepped forward and took the order.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After saying this, the imperial guard, supported by his companions, followed the young eunuch to the Imperial Hospital.

"Come in," he said to the four adults. These were his confidants. He was about to send someone to find them, but they had already entered the palace.

"And you." He pointed at Eunuch Wang and the two young eunuchs and the imperial guards who followed him.

"Yes!" Everyone hurriedly followed and entered the imperial study one after another.

"Old man, tell me what happened just now again." Xuan Haotian said to Eunuch Wang after sitting down.

So Eunuch Wang repeated what he had just said to the Emperor from Concubine Li.

When the adults heard this, they found that it was almost the same as what their own servants had reported.

"Is that really the case?" Xuan Haotian asked the two young eunuchs and several imperial guards.

Several people quickly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, what Eunuch Wang said is true, and we dare not lie."

"You all retreat!" Xuan Haotian said.

Eunuch Wang and the others quickly left the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, this Grand Tutor's Mansion is so bold that they actually dared to disobey your order and even launched a surprise attack on the imperial guards who were going to deliver your order." said the Minister.

"Your Majesty, although our people were ambushed, we haven't discovered who did it. I'm afraid the Grand Tutor's Mansion will not admit it!" Prime Minister Wen thought for a moment and said to Xuan Haotian.

"Your Majesty, I think the old Grand Tutor's illness is too strange. Why does Your Majesty just want to bring him into the palace? Also, did the Grand Tutor's Mansion already know Your Majesty's plan in advance?" The Duke also said.

Knowing his plan in advance? Could there be spies from the Grand Tutor's Mansion in this palace? What a joke, how is this possible!

"My Lord, do you mean that there are spies from the Grand Tutor's Mansion around me?" Xuan Haotian said with a cold smile: "That's absolutely impossible!"

"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, no matter who you are, you didn't see the person who attacked you from behind. This person was delivering the imperial edict to the Grand Tutor's Mansion and was injured in front of the gate. You must ask Lord Xiao for an explanation." Lord Taiwei also said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, first we must let Lord Xiao give an explanation." Prime Minister Wen also echoed.

"I agree, otherwise where is the majesty of the emperor?"

"I second the motion." The Duke and the Minister said.

Seeing that everyone said this, Xuan Haotian immediately issued an order: "Okay, now I will order the Duke and the Grand Marshal to bring 200 guards to the Grand Tutor's Mansion. They must make Master Xiao give me an explanation and arrest the attackers."

"Yes, I obey your command!" said the Duke and the Grand Marshal at the same time.

The two men received the order and immediately led the fully armed guards straight to the Grand Tutor's Mansion from the Imperial Palace.

Suddenly, so many fully armed guards appeared on the street, naturally attracting people to watch from afar.

What is the capital? It is a gathering place for dignitaries and nobles. Any disturbance will attract attention.

Look, the Duke and the Grand Marshal had just left the palace with the imperial guards, and all the officials at home had already received the news.

They would naturally send their own servants to blend in with the crowd and follow the imperial guards to see what was going on. They actually alarmed the Duke and the Grand Marshal, two first-rank officials, to go there in person.

As soon as the Duke and the Grand Marshal arrived at the Grand Tutor's Mansion, the news had already spread to all the large mansions in the capital, and the crowd of onlookers also included spies from various mansions.

"Surround them all!" The Duke ordered the guards as soon as he got off the carriage.

The two hundred guards quickly dispersed and immediately surrounded the gate of the Grand Tutor's Mansion. What they didn't know was that in places they couldn't see, a dozen camouflaged pistol team members were hiding around the gate. Each of them had a gun in his hand, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed at the Duke, the Grand Marshal and the guards outside the gate.

Of course, their guns were all equipped with silencers because they didn't want the gunshots to disturb the people in the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

Seeing that two hundred guards had surrounded the gate of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, the Duke and the Grand Marshal stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Knock, knock, knock, knock." After a long while, footsteps were heard coming from the door. After a while, the door was opened a little bit and a servant came out.

The servant saw the Duke and the Grand Marshal through the crack in the door, as well as the guards behind them. He seemed to have expected them to come, so he was not very scared. He said to the Duke, "Sir, who are you looking for?"

The Duke was a little surprised to see such a calm servant.

He shouted, "Go, tell your master to come out and see me."

"Yes." The servant replied, then closed the door again.

Hey, it's amazing, even a small gatekeeper in the Grand Tutor's Mansion is so awesome, and doesn't take him seriously at all. The Duke was locked outside in front of him, thinking angrily.

However, what he didn't know was that this person was not the gatekeeper of the Grand Tutor's Mansion at all, but a member of Su Luoxue's pistol team in disguise.

What he didn't know was that the servant had a loaded pistol on his waist. If he dared to let anyone break into the Grand Tutor's Mansion, he would be the first to be shot.

After a long while, footsteps were heard from inside the door again, and then the door was opened again. It was seen that it was Lord Xiao with a white handkerchief covering his face, followed by the servant who had just opened the door.

When Lord Xiao saw the Duke and the Grand Marshal, he bowed and said, "Duke, Grand Marshal, what are you two doing?"

When the Duke and the Grand Commandant saw Lord Xiao's attire, they asked at the same time: "Lord Xiao, what is this...?"

"Oh, my lords, my father has suddenly contracted a fatal disease. I have been taking care of my father these past few days. I am afraid that I might infect you, my lords, so I have no choice but to do this. I hope you will forgive me." Lord Xiao said apologetically.

When the Duke and the Grand Marshal heard what Lord Xiao said, they quickly took several steps back.

Is this true? Eunuch Wang also seemed to say that Lord Xiao did tell him that the old Grand Tutor had a sudden illness and could not enter the palace. At first, they all thought that this was Lord Xiao's excuse, but now it seems that it might be true?
