Chapter 544 Identity of the Masked Man

Is there a guard dead in the Imperial Study Room?

Xuanyuan Chen's pale face showed solemnity, but he slowly shook his head: "I really don't know this. When I opened the door, I didn't see any killed guards outside."

Xie Jin turned to look at the palm eunuch: "Father-in-law, is there anything you want to add?"

The palm print eunuch's face was three points paler than Xuanyuan Chen's. Firstly, it was because of his serious injury, and secondly, because of the fear in his heart.

Hearing Xie Jin's question, a hint of fear appeared on his face, and he said in a low voice: "I know the figure of that masked man."

Xie Jin raised his eyebrows.

"It's not the chambermaid, it's Nanny Wei who is beside the Queen Mother. When the Queen Mother was still the Queen, she was responsible for serving the Queen Mother and teaching the palace maids." Palm Print Father-in-law said, "Mama Wei is a bit skilled and can do things more neatly than ordinary mothers and chambermaids. ,so……"

His voice lowered unconsciously, and he obviously had some scruples: "If this move has anything to do with the Queen Mother, then she is the most suitable person to do it. Firstly, she is the most trusted by the Queen Mother and will not leak the news. Secondly, she will not Easily arouses suspicion.”

"No wonder it was successfully succeeded in the palace." Xuanyuan Yao sneered, "It turns out that even the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager participated in the plan."

Xie Jin said calmly: "Not necessarily."

Xuanyuan Yao was surprised. He was about to say, isn't it already obvious? However, when I thought about it, his imperial grandfather had been the emperor for decades after all. There had been some turmoil in the palace because of Princess Yingfeng's return to Dongling. Now that the queen has ascended the throne, the court has finally calmed down. Now that he has stepped down to take care of his old age, it is indeed unlikely that he will create any more trouble with his own hands.

So, there is actually a hidden secret here?

"The old slave used to serve the emperor...the Supreme Emperor for many years. The Supreme Emperor was very majestic. When the old slave heard that the Supreme Emperor wanted to use the jade seal, he habitually took out the jade seal without thinking too much." The palm print eunuch explained uneasily, " The old slave has no other ideas, please be careful."

After the Queen ascended the throne, the regent took power, and the number of chamberlains around him was very small. Whether it was the eunuch who held the seal or the eunuch who wrote the writing, their status was not as good as before when they served the Supreme Emperor, and their power was also much weakened. However, no one dared to give birth to a child. dissatisfied.

Even if they have not personally experienced the methods of the regent, they still know something about it. Moreover, once the emperor and his courtiers abdicate, it is lucky that these old people in the palace are still alive and well. Who dares to be dissatisfied?

So he had to serve with trepidation in the first place, but this time he committed such a mistake. The palm-printing father-in-law was afraid that his life would be in danger, so how could he dare to hide anything?

Xie Jin nodded casually when he heard this, but didn't ask any more questions.

Hearing that the Supreme Emperor wanted to use the jade seal, he subconsciously took it out. This made sense. After all, after serving the Supreme Emperor for decades, the deep-seated pressure in his heart was difficult to eradicate for a while. It was normal to habitually obey the will.

As for the others, Xuanyuan Chen and the palm eunuch were both victims in this matter. Although they had their own responsibilities, they were not forbidden soldiers or martial arts masters. They could not be forced to risk their lives to protect the jade seal in dangerous situations.

Now that we have almost understood the situation inside the imperial study room, it is time to understand the situation outside the imperial study room.

Xie Jin stood up and flicked his robe sleeves slowly: "You two go back and rest first. Recuperate for the past two days. When the case is concluded, you can come back to the imperial study room for duty."

With that said, he walked over and opened the door of the imperial study. Outside, King Wei, who was shouting angrily at Nether Nightmare, suddenly stopped talking. The expression on his green and white face was condensed, and he stared gloomily at the man who came out of the imperial study. Xie Jin.

"Your Majesty, please go back to rest first, and Eunuch Zhangyin will also go back to rest." Xie Jin said calmly, with a hint of laziness, "Don't worry about being silenced, I can guarantee that this mistake in the palace will only happen once, and it will not happen again." ”

King Wei's expression changed, especially when he saw Xuanyuan Chen and the palm print eunuch walking out of the imperial study, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his face suddenly became as gloomy as water.

"Xie Jin, what do you mean?" Princess Wei asked, "Are you trying to stop the prince from caring about his son?"

Care about your son?

Xie Jin hooked his lips and smiled lowly: "Your Majesty has not cared about me for a long time, but he has cared about Ah Chen at this time. He is really a loving father."

King Wei's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, "Xie Jin, you are so presumptuous!"

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Xie Jin bowed slightly, with a somewhat cynical tone, "I still have to investigate the case, and I don't have much time to waste words with Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will not embarrass me."

King Wei stared at Xuanyuan Chen, who was intact, with a sinister luster in his eyes. After a moment, he said seriously: "Chen'er, are you done with today's work? Can you go back to the palace for dinner tonight? We, father and son, haven't seen each other for a long time. Let’s sit down and have dinner together.”

Xuanyuan Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "Thank you for your kindness, father. Perhaps Achen hasn't spent time with my aunt for a long time. I want to have dinner with her tonight."

King Wei's face darkened, and he stared at his face for a moment, trying to see something from his face. However, looking over and over, he could only see his eyes closed and respectful posture, and there was no other expression. Revealed.

"In broad daylight, a thief actually dared to sneak into the royal study and assassinate him. He is so lawless and daring!" King Wei stepped forward and pretended to check Xuanyuan Chen's injuries, "Has Chen'er seen the true face of the assassin?"

Xie Jin raised his hand to block his movement: "It is the duty of the lower official to investigate the case, so I won't trouble the prince."

The King of Wei took a deep breath, staring at Xie Jin with a look that looked as if he wanted to shoot out a poisoned knife and stab the damned Xie family to death on the spot.

Xie Jin smiled and bowed, and soon left with Xuanyuan Chen and the eunuch in charge of the seal. His graceful and flowing posture had fascinated many unmarried girls in the imperial capital, and also made the prostitutes in the brothels willing to commit themselves to him without paying a penny.

Xuanyuan Yao admired the monster in his heart, and then followed him.

The face of the Prince of Wei was like ice, and he stared at the few people leaving coldly. In a moment, he turned around and was about to enter the imperial study. However, as soon as he stretched out his hand, before he could touch the door of the imperial study, he was forced to retract his hand by a strong undercurrent, and couldn't help but take three steps back.

"Your Highness!" Princess Wei's face changed drastically, and she reached out to support her husband, "How are you?"

King Wei stared coldly at Ming Yan: "Do you want to commit a crime?"

"The Imperial Study is an important place for court affairs. No one can enter without the permission of the Regent." Ming Yan said in a cold tone, "Please leave here, King Wei and Princess."

King Wei looked at him with a sullen face: "I just want to go in and see if anything is missing."

Ming Yan was unmoved, and didn't say a word more. He stood outside the door like a cold-faced door god, preventing anyone from entering.
