Chu Qingyue said nothing, staring at the emperor standing at the door, with murderous intent in his eyes.

Lin Yuejiao didn't notice his change and her legs and feet went weak with panic. It wasn't because she was afraid of being discovered by the emperor, but because she and Chu Qingyue were hiding on the beam of the house. Looking down from above, it was frighteningly high. She was afraid of heights!

"Your Majesty..." Seeing that the emperor was slow to enter the room, Eunuch Zhang called out in confusion. He also glanced into the room but didn't see anything wrong.

"Zhang Delu, send the guards outside away!" said the emperor as he stepped into the house.

Eunuch Zhang hurriedly called out to the Emperor, worried that the assassin from last night would come again, and wanted to ask the Emperor not to withdraw the guards.

Unexpectedly, the emperor suddenly closed the door with a bang, almost pinching his nose.

Eunuch Zhang touched his nose in dismay and could only obey the order and send away the guards around the Xuanzheng Hall.

The emperor walked towards the house, his steps steady and calm, but his eyes were like sharp blades, and he suddenly said, "Come out!"

Lin Yuejiao's heart skipped a beat, and before she could react, Chu Qingyue beside her suddenly jumped down.

Thinking that Chu Qingyue was going to kill the emperor, she anxiously shouted: "Chu Qingyue, don't forget what you promised me..."

Danger was approaching, and the emperor suddenly looked up. When he saw Chu Qingyue, he was stunned for a moment, but his hand had already been raised to meet Chu Qingyue's palm wind.

In a moment, the two men started fighting.

Chu Qingyue's moves were ruthless and murderous, forcing the emperor to retreat.

Lin Yuejiao teleported to the ground, and seeing Chu Qingyue's posture, she was really worried that he would kill the emperor, so she wanted to stop Chu Qingyue.

The system suddenly said: [Host, Chu Qingyue is very resentful towards the emperor, let him fight and vent it. Tongzi detected that Chu Qingyue has no intention of killing the emperor, the host can rest assured. ]

"That's good……"

Since Chu Qingyue would not kill the emperor, Lin Yuejiao was no longer worried. She just found a stool and sat down to watch the two fight.

She didn't know martial arts, but she could see that the emperor had shown mercy to Chu Qingyue. He didn't take the initiative to attack, but focused on defense.

It seems that the emperor still cares about his friendship with Chu Qingyue, otherwise he would not have dismissed the guards outside.

The sound of fierce fighting could be heard outside. Eunuch Zhang, who was waiting at the door, thought there was an assassin. He was so scared that his face turned pale and he banged on the door.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Someone, come, there is an assassin, come quickly..."

"Shut up! Zhang Delu, if you dare to attract someone, I will chop off your head!"

A loud shout was heard in the hall. Eunuch Zhang shuddered and could not help but touch his cold neck, but he dared not shout anymore.

It seems that the emperor is not in danger, but what is the emperor doing in there? Why is there a sound of fighting?

Eunuch Zhang was full of doubts as the fight between the two people in the room became more and more intense.

Finally, Chu Qingyue grabbed the emperor's clothes and pressed him against a pillar, and the fight ended.

"Qingyue, it's really you. You're still alive. That's great..."

The emperor, who was always cold and serious, was ecstatic at this moment.

Chu Qingyue, however, had a murderous look on his face. "I live just to kill you, Xiao Jiuzhao. The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable!"

"You want to kill me?" The emperor's excitement faded, and his expression changed quickly. "So, the assassin last night was related to you? Are you really colluding with the Northern Barbarians?"

Lin Yuejiao got anxious when she heard this, and immediately ran to Chu Qingyue, "Chu Qingyue, calm down, and don't admit it, otherwise you won't be able to explain it clearly."

The emperor could not hear what Lin Yuejiao said, nor could he see her. From the emperor's perspective, there was only Chu Qingyue.

Chu Qingyue didn't listen to Lin Yuejiao's words and admitted frankly, "Yes, I brought them into the palace to kill you!"

"..." Lin Yuejiao held her forehead speechlessly.

The emperor's face changed. Chu Qingyue increased the strength of his hands and grabbed the emperor's collar, but the emperor did not fight back.

"The Chu family has been loyal for generations and has never had any other intentions. But you listened to the slander of the villain, convicted the Chu family, and forced your father to death. You are so foolish and unjust, you deserve to die!"

Chu Qingyue was filled with murderous intent. His eyes turned red with anger and veins bulged on the back of his hands as he tried to restrain his murderous intent towards the emperor.

Lin Yuejiao thought the emperor would be angry. After all, Chu Qingyue's words and deeds were considered treasonous in ancient times. Even if he was innocent, the emperor could sentence him to death.

Unexpectedly, the emperor showed no sign of anger. "Do you really want to kill me? Fine, go ahead!"

"Chu Qingyue, did I hear you right? The emperor wants you to kill him?" Lin Yuejiao looked at Chu Qingyue in surprise, only to see that he had no expression on his face, but his eyes were still fierce.

Now that the emperor has said so, will he really do it?

If it was last night, Chu Qingyue would have acted without hesitation, but now...

In the end, he released the emperor and asked him to re-examine the Chu family case.

The emperor agreed, but asked Chu Qingyue to find evidence himself to prove that he had not colluded with the Northern Barbarians.

After discussing the matter with the emperor, Chu Qingyue left without saying a word, and the emperor did not stop him.

Outside!

Eunuch Zhang paced back and forth anxiously, looking frequently at the tightly closed door. There was no movement in the hall for a long time. He was worried about the emperor's safety, but he didn't dare to call for help.

Just then, the door opened, and Eunuch Zhang ran forward in a hurry, "Young...young...young Marquis?"

Seeing that it was Chu Qingyue, Eunuch Zhang was so shocked that he stood there in shock.

Didn’t General Meng say that the young marquis had defected to the northern barbarians? How come he was in the palace?

Chu Qingyue walked straight over without even glancing at Eunuch Zhang. Only when he was out of Eunuch Zhang's sight did Lin Yuejiao take him out of the palace.

The next moment, the two of them appeared in the Yongyi Marquis Mansion!

Looking at the desolate and deserted mansion, Chu Qingyue looked at Lin Yuejiao in confusion, as if he didn't understand why she brought him here again.

Lin Yuejiao didn't explain further, "I have something for you, wait for me!"

She ran towards a tree in the distance. The house had been abandoned for a long time and was surrounded by weeds.

She took out a small hoe out of thin air and started digging under the tree. Chu Qingyue stood there, staring at her in a daze.

Soon, Lin Yuejiao dug out two jars and came to Chu Qingyue with them.

Chu Qingyue could tell at a glance that it was an urn, and his whole body looked a little stiff.

"These are the ashes of my uncle and Uncle Wang. No one came to collect their bodies, so I cremated them without permission and collected the ashes. Now I'm handing them over to you."

There were stickers on the urn with the names of Marquis Yongyi and Uncle Wang written on them. She had written them and stuck them on when she was storing the ashes so that Chu Qingyue could recognize their identities.

Chu Qingyue took his father's ashes with trembling hands. His Adam's apple rolled and a feeling of bitterness spread in his chest.

The ashes of Marquis Yongyi were handed over to Chu Qingyue, and the next step was naturally to bury the deceased.

Lin Yuejiao sent Chu Qingyue back to the dilapidated temple. When Yang learned that her son had brought back her husband's ashes, she burst into tears again, and Chu Yanxin also burst into tears.

When the family buried Marquis Yongyi and Uncle Wang, Lin Yuejiao left. There was no need for her to stay.

She returned to the palace again, but this time she came to see Xu Xiyue.

When I arrived at Changle Palace, I found that every palace dweller was smiling and their words and actions were full of energy.

Any good news?

Lin Yuejiao walked into Xu Xiyue's bedroom curiously, and saw a pile of rare treasures that could hardly fit in the room.

Her eyes lit up instantly, and she subconsciously asked, "Xiyue, are you rich?"
