A rare opportunity

Chapter 364 The Enraged Emperor

Now that Li Yu has escaped, that’s a different matter!

Li Yu saved the imperial concubine and the princess, that is an indisputable fact! The emperor will definitely summon him and give him a reward. The reason why he asked Huashan to invite Li Yu early in the morning was that he wanted to take Li Yu under his command before the emperor. But he didn't expect that Li Yu actually got the news in advance and escaped! If the emperor knew that it was his fault, what would he think? Wouldn't this leave room for the prince to complain? This matter is of great importance, and he must go to the palace immediately to explain the situation to the emperor!

Yao Lin looked at Hua Zirong, who was spinning around, with disgust. He thought: What a fucking idiot! He can't even keep such a secret!

Then he stood up, took off his token and handed it to Huashan, saying:

"Use my token immediately to inform the gate guards to check all the people who leave the city and find out where Li Yu is! I will go to the palace to ask for permission to arrest Li Yu!"

After saying that, he hurried out the door!

Yao Lin's knife-like eyes frightened Hua Zirong so much that his whole body trembled! After Yao Lin and Hua Shan walked out of the door, Hua Zirong finally reacted and wanted to chase them out, but he didn't dare to, so he stood there in a daze!

Suddenly, a sharp light flashed in his eyes! He gritted his teeth and muttered to himself:

"Qian Youzu! You are such a traitor! I will never forgive you!"

Yao Lin hurried to the palace and learned that the emperor was in Hua Qianmei's Qianmei Palace, so he rushed over immediately.

As soon as he arrived at the palace gate, he saw Yao Junlan walking out angrily. As soon as he saw Yao Lin, he immediately rushed over, grabbed him, and asked sternly:

"What do you want to do? Why did you send people to surround Doctor Li's residence?"

"Jun Lan, stop making trouble! I have something important to report to my father, please let go!"

Yao Lin said anxiously.

"I don't care! If you don't explain yourself clearly today, don't even think about leaving!"

However, Yao Junlan held him tightly and refused to let go.

"Let go! This matter is of great importance. It will be too late if we delay!"

Yao Lin yelled.

Before Yao Junlan could speak, a majestic voice came:

"Jun Lan! Stop messing around and let him in to talk!"

When Yao Junlan heard the emperor's words, she naturally did not dare to continue pestering and had to let go of Yao Lin's arm.

At this moment, a figure hurried over, saw Yao Lin and asked anxiously:

"Second brother! I heard that you had people surround Li Taiyi's residence? What's going on?"

The person who came was the current crown prince Yao Jian!

When Yao Lin and Yao Junlan saw him, they both bowed and said:

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Yao Jian smiled and said:

"We are siblings, no need to be polite! Second brother, what's going on?"

Yao Lin couldn't help but smile bitterly! What you fear will come true! Originally, Li Yu was a trump card for him to win the emperor's trust and suppress the prince, but now he is bound to become the prince's weapon to attack him! Just as he was about to answer, he heard Yao Shouxin said impatiently:

"What are you guys whispering about outside? Come in and talk!"

Yao Jian and Yao Lin did not dare to delay and hurriedly bowed and walked into the hall, followed by Yao Junlan.

The three of them walked into the hall. Yao Jian and Yao Lin knelt down in front of Yao Shouxin and shouted "Long live!" Yao Junlan ran behind Hua Qianmei and stood with her head bowed.

Yao Shouxin snorted and said:

"Everyone get up!"

"Thank you, Father!"

The two shouted loudly, then stood up. They bowed to Hua Qianmei again, then stepped aside and stood with their heads bowed.

"Yao Lin! Tell me, what's going on?"

Upon hearing this, Yao Lin knelt down again and kowtowed:

"My son is guilty, please punish me!"

Yao Shouxin frowned and asked:

"Hmm? Tell me, what's going on?"

"I saw that Li Yu was very capable, so I promoted him. But I never thought that he actually harbored evil intentions and colluded with the demon clan spies, intending to harm Hongzhou and our human race!"

Everyone in the hall was shocked when they heard this! Yao Junlan was so anxious that her face turned red, and she shouted:

"You are talking nonsense! You are making false accusations! You..."

Yao Shouxin snorted and glared at Yao Junlan fiercely, scaring her so much that she immediately shut her mouth.

Yao Shouxin stared at Yao Lin and said slowly:

"Is this true?"

"It's absolutely true! The girl named Wu Ling'er beside Li Yu is the demon clan spy!"

Yao Lin replied quickly.

"You're talking nonsense! What basis do you have to say that Wu...that Wu Ling'er is a spy from the demon clan?"

Yao Junlan said anxiously.

"This was reported by Hua Zirong. They had been to Tianxing City together, and Hua Zirong had always suspected Wu Ling'er's identity. Later, it was confirmed by Li Yu's personal bodyguard Hu Qian, and it was definitely not false!"

Yao Lin said anxiously.

"This...you can't just listen to Hua Zirong's one-sided words!"

"That's why I want to confront Li Yu face to face!"

"Right! Exactly! Did you catch Li Yu? Bring him in to see me! I want to see if this is true or not! If it is true, I will skin him alive!"

Yao Shouxin nodded immediately.

"Father!..."

Yao Junlan was so frightened that her face turned pale and she shouted loudly.

Yao Shouxin glared and said sternly:

"Stop talking nonsense! I'll settle the score with you later!"

Yao Lin kowtowed again and said in fear:

"I am incompetent and Li Yu got the news in advance. I am afraid he has already escaped from the imperial city!"

"What? You are such a useless thing! Someone come! Someone come!"

Yao Shouxin stood up from the dragon throne with a bang and shouted angrily.

Qin Bing and Qin Li immediately stepped aside and knelt on the ground.

"Quick! Send someone to seal the city gate immediately!"

Without waiting for the two to agree, Yao Lin hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty, I have sent people to block the city gates! According to the servants of the Li Mansion, Li Yu left the mansion before dawn, and I am afraid he has already escaped from the imperial city!"

When Yao Shouxin heard this, he was so angry that he started to curse:

"You're such a good-for-nothing! Qin Bing, Qin Li, gather your men and chase him! We can't let him get away!"

Qin Bing and Qin Li hurriedly bowed and received the order and went out!

Yao Shouxin was still not satisfied, so he said to Yao Jian:

"Yao Jian! I order you to lead the royal guards to arrest everyone in the Li Mansion! And launch a city-wide search to prevent him from hiding in the city!"

Yao Jian glanced at Yao Lin with pride and left. Only Yao Lin was left dumbfounded! His own people were outside Li's house, but Yao Shouxin didn't let him go to search for them, but asked Yao Jian to go. It was obvious that he didn't trust him! But he couldn't blame anyone else, he could only blame that good-for-nothing Hua Zirong! He couldn't help but gnashing his teeth in hatred towards Hua Zirong!

Yao Junlan was extremely anxious! But in front of the emperor, she did not dare to show it, her face tense and she was dazed!

Although Hua Qianmei appeared calm on the surface, her heart was actually in turmoil! Others didn't know Li Yu's background, but she knew it very well! He was the reincarnation of Xing Tianjun! She thought to herself: I must keep him safe no matter what!
