Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

The person in the car was not Li Lian at all!

Li Huoyue thought it was her father in the car so she rushed forward without caring. She had never displayed her abilities in public like this before.

In an instant, Li Huoyue wanted to kill.

Inside the carriage was a man whom he had never seen before. He looked sick, and his exposed hands were tightly grasping the edge of the seat inside the carriage.

His fingers were long and his skin was so pale that he looked as if he had been dead for days.

Although it has been raining these days, the temperature is obviously rising gradually. Many people on the street have started to wear spring clothes, and this guy is even wearing a plush cloak.

I don’t know if it’s a bit pretentious.

The curtain was opened, and a little cold wind mixed with slightly moist air blew in, making Li Huoyue, who had just increased his exercise volume, feel a little cool.

There is no suitable weapon at hand, but it doesn’t matter.

Li Huoyue looked around the car to see what he could use, or just get started.

The person sitting in the carriage was not so lucky. He seemed to be unable to stand the wind and coughed twice.

Very restrained, as if there was someone sleeping next to him.

The man just now had been leaning sideways with his head weakly buried in his cloak. His face was completely hidden by the fluffy collar.

When he coughed, his handsome profile was slightly revealed. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the man seemed to have a white silk ribbon tied around his eyes, with the tail extending to the back of his head and hanging at his waist, fluttering in the wind.

A word "Li" embroidered in gold thread is at the very end of the ribbon.

Oh, it seems to be King Li.

Since he was blind, there was no reason for Li Huoyue to be guilty of any crime.

He retreated silently and slipped away before the coachman brought his men.

Only after Li Huoyue walked a long way away did the people in the car dare to breathe a sigh of relief.

Although he couldn't see it, he could feel that he almost greeted the King of Hell at his doorstep just now.

Li Huoyue went outside the city, found his chestnut horse in a small teahouse, and headed towards the Li Mansion at the fastest speed.

She really didn't know what to do now. She had a feeling that she had made a mistake in judgment.

But she didn't understand what was wrong. According to her calculations, such a big thing happened in Nanxia River, and the people might think it was nothing, just a miracle.

But to His Majesty, this was a dereliction of duty by the Special Inspector, and a provocation to the imperial power by a time traveler.

Therefore, His Majesty will definitely summon my father to question him as soon as possible.

There were two reasons why Li Huoyue did not go to find his father immediately.

First, there was really no useful information to be passed on to my father at the time.

Secondly, if I went to look for my father at that time, after passing through the chaotic city gate and arriving at the mansion, it would probably be too late and I might miss him.

It’s better to wait on the road you have to take.

The sky had darkened unnoticed, announcing that the day was coming to an end.

There is no curfew in the South, and the gates connecting the inner city and the outer city will always be open.

The palace will not.

It has its system.

No outsiders will be allowed in after dark.

Li Huoyue looked at the sky and knew that his father would never pass this road again.

However, Li Huoyue really didn't know where her father was now, so she could only go home and try her luck.

See if I'm worrying too much?

Or maybe His Majesty is too busy to care about the Special Inspector?

As a result, my father might still be at home, carefully painting a portrait of my mother?

Li Huoyue returned to the Li Mansion with hope. As soon as he arrived at the gate, he was taken directly to the study by the fourth brother.

This time, except for the second oldest brother, all the other brothers were present, looking solemn.

"As expected, my father was taken away by the emperor, right?" Li Huoyue saw everyone's dejected expressions and guessed the result.

The fourth brother nodded and asked again: "What did you talk about with Xu Jiao'er? Why did you return home just now?"

"I was waiting at Jingxuan Bridge. I thought the emperor would summon my father to the palace."

"The emperor did summon father to an audience, but my people came back and said that father was taken to the east in the direction of the dense forest." The fourth brother found his position and continued, "That area has always been heavily guarded, and my people can't get in at all."

East?

Today's miracle also took place near the East Gate.

Li Huoyue was a little annoyed and apologized to the others, "It's me, I made a mistake in judgment, I didn't expect... I thought... Oh -"

The oldest brother who was closest to her patted Li Huoyue on the shoulder and said, "Sixth sister, you still have five brothers. You don't have to shoulder everything by yourself. You have done a good job."

It was the first time that Li Huoyue heard the boss praise her, but now was not the right time to praise her. Although she felt comforted, she did not feel relieved.

Then the few of them exchanged information with each other. At this point, the matter of the time traveler could no longer be concealed. After Li Huoyue hid his identity as a time traveler, he explained it to the other people.

The third brother actually knew a lot, but not as much as Li Huoyue. After hearing about it, his first question was: "How many such time travelers are there in the Southern Country?"

Li Huoyue shook her head. She didn’t know either. In the past, she wouldn’t encounter a time traveler for many years, but recently she inexplicably discovered that all of them appeared around her one after another.

It would be fine if they hid in the downtown area and lived a good life like Huang Ruochu, but they were most afraid that they would all jump out like Xu Jiaoer. They were even more afraid that they would join forces and dance before the emperor like the miracle today.

"Are you still going to the Liang Palace tonight?"

Li Huoyue always felt that this question sounded familiar.

She seemed to have heard this sentence just last night.

The eldest brother spoke up at this time: "Why don't I go see His Majesty tomorrow and ask about the situation."

In his eyes, the affairs of Prince Liang's Mansion were obviously not as important as his father's affairs, and he had no say in the affairs of Prince Liang's Mansion.

"Brother, what are you going to ask? How should you ask?" The fourth brother continued, "Father was sent away in front of us, and this is the result if you ask!"

"I'll go ask when I can go to court normally."

He has been suspended from his post and has been staying in the palace for some time, but the emperor has not mentioned when he will be reinstated.

The eldest brother is actually quite good at making small talk, but he doesn’t like to talk much normally and doesn’t think there is any need to do these things.

"That's His Majesty." Li Huoyue guessed what the boss was going to do and pointed out the meaninglessness of his actions. "Even if you get the information out of him, what can you do?"

There was silence in the study again.

Concern leads to confusion, and everyone proposed several plans, all of which seemed a little panic-stricken.

Li Huoyue has not participated much in the discussion of the plan. Their thoughts have always been on how to find out the situation.

The most important thing now is how to prevent my father from being killed and how to ensure that no one in the Li Mansion will be killed because of my father's dereliction of duty.

"Is there any way that can allow me to meet His Majesty?" Li Huoyue finally spoke again.

The few people who had just discussed whether to ask the Prime Minister for help suddenly shut up and looked at her in astonishment.

"But mother said that you must not be allowed to meet His Majesty..."
