The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

After hearing Chen Jingwen's solemn assurance, how could Emperor Xinglong not understand that what his second son said was true?

For a moment, Emperor Xinglong felt a surge of nameless anger in his heart.

His face turned from pale to flushed in an instant, and he threw the brush in his hand to the ground in anger.

"How dare you! How dare a mere bandit come and go freely in this imperial capital?"

"Where is Li Kui, the prefect of Yangzhou? How did he get this position for me?!"

Emperor Xinglong, with an unnaturally flushed face, was so angry that he slammed the imperial desk with his hands, and his whole body began to stagger.

Dai Quan, who was standing by, hurried forward with an anxious look to support Emperor Xinglong, crying,

"Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down!"

"You must take care of your body..."

Chen Jingwen also kowtowed and apologized.

"I will die! Please calm down, Father!"

Emperor Xinglong waved his hand fiercely and pushed Dai Quan away, staring at him with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Dai Quan! Pass on my decree that Yangzhou Prefect Li Kui is derelict in his duty and is to be immediately dismissed from office and taken to the Divine Capital for investigation by the Three Departments!"

Dai Quan's expression changed slightly. This was the first time since His Majesty ascended the throne that he had shown such a sudden and undisguised killing intent.

Just as he was about to receive the order,

Chen Jingwen shook his head with a sad look on his face.

"Father, please calm down! When I first left Yangzhou, I learned that the Yangzhou prefectural government office had been occupied by rebels from Qingfeng Village, and that the Yangzhou prefect, Li Kui, had fallen into the hands of the bandits..."

After saying that, Chen Jingwen pressed his forehead deeply to the ground in panic, not daring to look at Emperor Xinglong's expression at the moment.

Emperor Xinglong, who was originally furious, was stunned when he heard Chen Jingwen's words, and looked at Chen Jingwen in amazement.

It took a long time before he reacted.

Dai Quan, who was standing by, was very anxious when he saw this. He immediately knelt down and walked to the side of Emperor Xinglong, stretching out his hands to help him.

But at this moment, Emperor Xinglong suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! Hahaha!"

The laughter was filled with sadness and grief, and tears came out from laughing.

When Chen Jingwen and Dai Quan heard Emperor Xinglong's laughter, they were both terrified, shivered all over, and quickly bowed their heads to the ground.

After laughing for a while, Emperor Xinglong staggered out from behind the imperial desk.

Dai Quan reached out to support him, but Emperor Xinglong pushed him away.

He staggered into the hall and turned to look at the thick stacks of memorials on the imperial desk.

"Since I ascended the throne, I have worked tirelessly day and night, worrying and sighing, and have not dared to slack off in the slightest."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes and gritted his teeth,

"But I never imagined that such an unprecedented thing would happen during my Daqian Dynasty!"

"The mighty city of Yangzhou actually allowed a group of Yangzhou bandits to come and go freely, acting as the imperial court's gatekeepers and treating it like their own vegetable garden or toilet!"

"How absurd! Ridiculous!"

Then he turned to look at Chen Jingwen and Dai Quan,

"Do you know why the rebels from Qingfeng Village, who were so powerful that they could occupy Yangzhou, left afterwards?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down!"

"Father calm down!"

Dai Quan and Chen Jingwen were horrified and knelt down in kowtow.

Emperor Xinglong laughed sadly.

"Haha! Those are the rebels from Qingfeng Village, mocking Daqian's incompetence!"

"Hahaha! Incompetent!"

As he laughed, Emperor Xinglong's expression suddenly became extremely unnatural.

Chen Jingwen and Dai Quan were both horrified when they saw this.

"Father calm down!"

"Your Majesty, be angry!"

"Hahaha!"

Emperor Xinglong's laughter still echoed in the hall.

Suddenly, at some point, Emperor Xinglong, with a flushed face, suddenly paused and his laughter stopped abruptly.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes rolled back, and he fell straight backwards.

Dai Quan and Chen Jingwen's expressions changed drastically when they saw this. They immediately stood up and rushed forward to support Emperor Xinglong.

"Father! Father!"

"Your Majesty!"

Suddenly, the entire palace was in chaos.
