One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]

Thinking about the incident with the jade pendant that he had investigated earlier, Baili Qingfeng slightly narrowed his eyes. An unknown light flashed in his eyes. Could it be that the Lord of the Coiling Dragon Villa was related to his fifth son?

"Send him in."

He was stunned on the spot the moment he woke up from his bed. Originally, he was lying in bed thinking about something and unknowingly fell asleep, and when he woke up again, it would be a day and a night. And in this one day and a night, he even caused the incident of the wolves surrounding the camp.

He looked around the tent and spotted Chu Junyi. Gritting his teeth, he thought to himself, "I thought Shen Ninghua would be difficult to deal with, but I didn't expect Chu Junyi to be so mean. If these two marry each other in the future, who knows how much trouble they'll cause in the imperial court!"

He walked to the center of the camp quickly and kneeled down on the ground with a thump. He bent down and kowtowed deeply, saying with a sincere voice: "This son greets royal father. Seeing that royal father is unharmed, this son is relieved."

Baili Qing Cang looked at his son coldly, "You've woken up, aren't you going to commit suicide?"

The officials around him lowered their heads and pretended that they had temporarily lost their hearing.

Baili Jinze's heart skipped a beat, 'Father was actually not giving him any face in front of the civil and military officials!'

"This son is terrified. Ever since I woke up and heard the guards say that I've taken an overdose of soul calming medicine, I'm very confused. This son …"

"I don't want to hear your explanation. What brings you here?" Baili Qingfeng impatiently interrupted him.

Chu Junyi's eyebrows creased slightly. It seemed that the emperor didn't fully believe that Baili Jinze was the owner of the Coiling Dragon Villa, but he had his suspicions now that those suspicions were growing stronger. He might as well add fuel to the fire.

Baili Jinze's face turned pale, "Royal father, your son came here to pay his respects. I heard that there were wolves that attacked the camp, so I came to check on your safety."

Chu Junyi raised her head with a frown. "Fifth Prince, how do you know that the wolves have surrounded the camp?"

"Of course I heard it from the guards."

"You heard it from the guard who was guarding your tent?"

"That's right," Baili Jinze didn't understand why he would ask such an idiotic question, "Lord Chu, is there a problem with that?"

"It's nothing, it's just that it's a little strange to hear Your Highness say that. After all, this is the imperial guard of the imperial family, and the emperor has personally ordered that you are not to move about outside the tent. Not only have you come out, you've also heard about the assassination attempt on the imperial family."

Guards? Was it the Janissaries who were guarding his tent?

Baili Jinze's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately raised his head to look at Baili Qingfeng. As expected, he saw his gloomy expression that frightened everyone. He quickly opened his mouth and tried to explain, "Imperial Father!"

"Shut up!" Baili Qingqing's eyes turned cold, "Fifth brother, you sure are capable. To think that my Royal Guards would follow your orders!"

"Father, this son is wronged, this son …" Baili Jinze felt that there was nothing he could say. He had just admitted that he got the information from the imperial guards, and it was already too late for him to refute.

"Chu Junyi, go and detain the imperial guards who were in charge of guarding the Fifth Prince's tent. Then, you can help the Ministry of Justice interrogate him. "If there are any problems, kill them without question. No one in my personal guards is allowed to have problems!"

The leader of the imperial guards was kneeling on the ground, cold sweat dripping down his forehead. He was helping the emperor take charge of the imperial guards, and if anything happened to the imperial guards, he would be held responsible even more.

Chu Junyi clasped her hands together, her eyes glimmering with a bright light. "Yes, your humble servant accepts the decree."

Others might not know, but he did. On the surface, it seemed like the leader of the imperial guards was under the jurisdiction of the emperor, but on the surface, there were people from all over the kingdom – the crown prince, the second prince, the third prince, the fourth prince … Every prince had people planted within them in order to control the movements and movements of the emperor. It was just that they didn't expect the emperor to suddenly order an investigation into the imperial guards!

When Shen Ninghua heard the news, her lips curled up into a smile, "I thought that Chu Junyi would choose a more gentle method, but who would've thought that he would actually bring up the matter regarding the Royal Guards?"

The little bluebird helped her apply the medicine. "Miss, is the matter with the imperial guards serious?"

"The imperial guards are protecting the emperor's safety, protecting the peace of the palace. It can be said that apart from the imperial concubines' palaces, the imperial palace is filled with the shadow of the imperial guards. If anything happens to them, it can be said that the emperor's personal life will be in danger. Although at present, the Emperor's body is healthy, and the princes have no other intentions, it is inevitable that it will not develop into a hidden danger later on. "

In the previous dynasty, a prince had forced the emperor to abdicate and had even succeeded in the end. If the imperial guards were controlled by a prince, it was hard to say if something like this would have happened.

The cyan sparrow nodded its head and asked, "Miss, what should we do next?"

Shen Ninghua pulled on her quilt and laid down on her bed. "Chu Junyi told me to trust him, so I'll focus on my recovery now."

Inside the tent, Baili Qingfeng was holding onto the imperial report in his hand. His fingers were trembling nonstop, and he was so angry that he could barely speak, "This … Unexpectedly... "Heh …"

Chu Junyi stood silently by the side, her face expressionless. Her handsome face and the curtain of a waterfall seemed to merge into her back. She stood tall, unmoving, in the face of the endless currents.

The President of the Board of Justice, on the other hand, was not as calm as he was. His whole body felt like it had been pulled out of water. Cold sweat broke out all over his body.

The veins on Baili Qingcyan's fingers were exposed as he pinched the imperial edict till it was deformed, "Truly a good son of mine, truly a good son of mine! "All of you actually want to bury a nail in the ground and insert a snitch in my side? Good, this is really good!"

His voice was filled with grief and indignation, and the light in his eyes was tinged with the pain of being betrayed. Although he was a king, he was still a father in the end.

"Please take care of the dragon's body, Your Majesty."

Baili Qingfeng sat dejectedly on a chair, reading the contents of the memorial piece word by word. It was as if he was trying to imprint every single word into his mind. After a long while, he slowly closed the memorial and looked at Chu Junyi and the Minister of Justice with a profound look in his eyes.

"No one is allowed to speak of what happened today. Do you understand?"

"Yes, this humble subject obeys." The two of them clasped their hands in response.

After a while, he spoke again, "The President of the Board of Punishments shall take his leave. Chu Junyi shall remain."

Baili Qingfeng stood up, "Do you know why I made you stay?" Chu Junyi raised her eyes. "This humble subject does not know, please enlighten me, Your Majesty."

"You have a tough personality, and you are also very smart. More importantly, you have a good wrist, so Ning Hua also has her eyes on you." Baili Qingfeng paused, "I need a blade. Are you willing to become one of my blades?"

Chu Junyi raised his head and said, "Your majesty, as your official, your humble subject would willingly turn into a pile of dirt, much less a blade!"

"Alright!" "I believe in the eyes of Xiao Hua, so I will give this jade token to you. You can mobilize the imperial guards and I will give you one month's time to clean up the imperial guards!"

A cold gleam danced in Chu Junyi's eyes as she spoke with an almost imperceptible coldness in her voice, "Yes, I shall obey."

Inside tent:

Shen Ninghua held onto the jade token that Baili Qingfeng had given to him, frowning slightly, "Your majesty the emperor has bestowed this jade token to you. What do you plan to do with it?"

Chu Junyi leaned back on the soft couch and took a whiff of the fragrant aroma emanating from the cup. "Naturally, I'll become a saber as per what the emperor said."

"Knives are divided into fast and slow. Which one do you want to make?"

"The situation is in a state of chaos, only by using the fast blade can we cut through the chaotic situation."

"Quick blades are hard, hard and easy to break."

"If it breaks, wouldn't it become two blades? As long as there's still a bit of steel left, it's enough to kill people. Furthermore, what I want to do is not just to kill with an ordinary blade, but a divine weapon! "

Chu Junyi's eyes sparkled with a bright light, and even though his vision was blurry from the thick fog of tea, Shen Ninghua could still see the determination and ambition in his eyes.

"Alright, then let's start with the guards."

Chu Junyi smiled and rose to her feet, carefully holding Shen Ninghua in her arms. "Ninghua, I will protect you. I will become the sword in your hands, the point of the sword, the place of your heart."

Shen Ninghua's heart skipped a beat. She could only feel a sour and numb feeling spreading through her body. Her eyes turned slightly red and a tinge of red appeared in the depths of her eyes.

The imperial guards were investigated, but no one moved until the emperor ordered the camp to be set up and returned to the palace.

Baili Jinze secretly sent people to inquire about the Ministry of Justice's letter, but the Ministry of Justice's letter seemed to have hardened its heart, refusing to reveal even the slightest bit of information. He could only return to the palace in fear.

Upon receiving the news, the crown prince took the news and went to Ning Kun Palace, "Imperial Mother, look, this is the news that has been sent back."

Zhao Hui Ying looked at the densely packed contents on the paper and his brows slightly knit. He sneered: "The Emperor was assassinated, the Second Prince was injured and his face disfigured, the Fifth Prince was grounded, Shen Ninghua was injured …. Heh, this expedition is really lucky. "

"Imperial Mother, what should we do?"

"Things have changed too quickly. Our people haven't even had the time to report anything, so don't be impatient. Wait for the information to be gathered before making a decision. The best course of action is to stay put."

The Crown Prince nodded. He didn't have a better idea in mind, so he had to do it this way.

The Queen burnt the paper clean and raised her head to ask Baili Jinyi, "If you want to help the Emperor, you have to take care of everything. The Emperor must not be in a bad mood and must not let anything happen to you."

"Yes, Imperial Mother."

Both mother and son had finished their discussion. Unexpectedly, the crown prince had not been able to escape from it in the end.

Baili Qingcang used the reason of the crown prince's unfavorable conduct to punish and copy twenty books. For a time, the entire palace was in a state of chaos.
