"..."

Another long silence …

"The safety of the entire palace rests on your shoulders alone. The entire capital is in Huangfu Qing's hands. If he, Huangfu Qing, were to rebel against me, what would happen to you?"

"It's Huangfu City's duty to protect and protect the inner palace with one's life. No matter who comes, they must talk to me about the sword in my hand!" Kneeling on the ground, the Emperor knew what was going on. No matter who it was, if they wanted to invade the imperial palace, they would be his enemy!

"Even if the Huangfu Family Master comes, this general's sword only recognizes thieves, not people!" His voice was firm and sonorous.

"Today's matter with Beast Garden was not bad, but have you not caught the assassin yet? Since no one can see him leave the palace while guarding the gates, why don't you tell me, how did the news spread out of the palace?"

"This official has failed in his duties! This humble subject inferred that there must have been someone secretly digging in the palace, and this subject did not notice, which was why today's matter occurred. If not for that, this subject dare guarantee that no outsider would be able to get in and out of the palace from under my nose. "

"..." Another moment of silence. Huangfu Yucheng was drenched in cold sweat as he knelt on the ground, not daring to make a single move. The Emperor's aura today was truly impressive.

"Do you have anyone that you suspect … "Be bold as you say."

"Empress!"

"Get up. You can investigate this matter anywhere, including my chambers. I'll leave all the safety of this inner palace to you!"

Hearing Huangfu City's words, the emperor finally relaxed the worry on his face. Now, he could only take a gamble, and bet that Huangfu City's heart was still with the Emperor of the Great Shan Nation.

"This official will live up to his expectations!"

"My dear sir, do you know that just now, there was someone who snuck into the Imperial Moon Palace to kill An Ran? That was Moon King's only support. We have treated our Huangfu Family well, and hope that you can investigate everything clearly. "I can only tell you this. There is no one left who can be trusted in this world. You are the only one left …"

"Your Majesty, rest assured. Huangfu City will always be loyal to the Great Shan Nation, loyal to the Emperor. Long live our Emperor!"

"In my opinion, does Battle King know how to backtrack?"

"How can the emperor say such words? Battle King is invincible. This subject believes that he would never betray the emperor. Back then, when he was fighting at the borders of different countries, all the military power was returned to him. This cannot be done so easily …"

"That's right, I know. It's just that he handed over power too quickly. On the contrary, I …" I must be overthinking things. If he isn't here today, the palace would be in danger. Last time, when he left the palace, the palace was in chaos. Last time, I almost died under poison … "Hopefully, it is not his doing."

Was this the Emperor's mentality? Huangfu City was a little disappointed. He knew about what happened that year. He had fought those battles with Yan Wuzhan, who would remember the bitterness in those battles?

Yan Wuzhan was his own leader. After the war was over, the people following him had all been appointed as officials. He knew Yan Wuzhan pretty well. He was his old leader, so the emperor shouldn't suspect Yan Wuzhan even if he suspected anyone.

Back then, when Yan Wuzhan handed over the military power, many people in the army didn't believe him and didn't believe him … Yan Wuzhan was making it clear that regardless of the court matters, he had already done this. The emperor still doubted him, so what did he count as?

No one dared to ask him what was going on. Although they saw his gloomy face and poor mood, there was no one who could talk to him. He knew that he did not have any friends.

Unknowingly, he walked to the front of Moon King Palace and walked in. The guards were all his soldiers, so naturally, no one would stop him. To put it bluntly, he would be able to go anywhere in the palace without any obstructions.

"Huangfu City greets the Empress!"

"It's Cheng'er. Quickly come in and take a seat. Princess hasn't woken up yet. Nameless Old Man said that she will be awake in an hour."

The empress's day was remarkable enough. After being sent into the cold palace, she was released within two hours. The emperor had even left such an important person in her care. Was he trying to test her credibility or something else?

She didn't dare think too much about it. The Beast Garden wasn't something that she had planned, she was the one who understood everything. No matter what she said, it wouldn't explain the suspense on the surface.

And because of this, she didn't dare let anything happen to Dongfang Ning. If under her care, this Princess Anning was still killed by someone, then she would never have a chance to rise again. Thus, she mustered all of her troops to guard this Yueyue Palace.

However, Nameless Old Man was on guard against her like she was a thief. He couldn't even get close to Dongfang Ning's bedside and didn't care about her identity at all. This really pissed her off.

At this moment, that damned old man even moved a chair over to sit in front of Dongfang Ning's door and drink tea. At this moment, that damn old man even moved a chair to sit in front of Dongfang Ning's door to drink tea, but at this moment, that old man moved a chair in front of Dongfang Ning's door to drink tea.

It had to be said that the emperor's move was very powerful. Many people wanted to visit this' favoured 'princess, but when they thought of the empress guarding inside, they gave up on the idea of visiting her.2

Offending the emperor and not the empress was an important matter that everyone in the imperial palace kept in mind. Thus, other than the fake imperial physician who came by earlier, no one else had taken a step into the palace.

"City kid, you're here. Quickly go outside the city gate and help me bring the Fang family's teachers in. This place isn't safe …" Nameless Old Man's eyes lit up when he saw Huangfu City. He immediately ordered people to come inside.

"Old mister, I'm here, am I that unbearable?" This damned old man looked down on him.

"Go quickly!"

"Alright!"

"Wait, can anyone come in? With me here, who would dare to hurt our family's peace? Senior Nameless, do you not trust me!? " Finally, he seized the opportunity to spray a mouthful of blood at this damned old man.

She stood up and slowly circled Nameless Old Man twice before slowly saying, "Besides, the commander of Huangfu City is a first rank general. How could a commoner like you be able to command him …"

However, before she could finish her words, Nameless had already lost his patience and interrupted her:

"Empress, this old man has heard of it in the outer city. Back then, it was you who had my master thrown into the Beast Garden. Smelly brat, why aren't you going! "

What was arrogance? This was arrogance!

The empress was so angry that the handkerchief in her hand was about to break. However, she had nothing to say. She had no right to get angry at this moment … He could only glare at Nameless before returning to his seat in the hall.

As for the old man, he returned to his chair to drink his tea, occasionally going in to check on Dongfang Ning's condition …
