As what Jun Yeyan expected, Zhulan resort was burned down. All the people Jun Wuhen sent never returned. Jun Wuhen hit the roof and gave an order to execute anyone who set the resort on fire immediately!
The Ministry of Penalty was already so busy, and the Ministers of the central court were in a panic.
It was a scene that troubles were coming, but ministers didn’t know that just the fuse was ignited now. What was worse was yet to come.
Jun Wuhen was already very upset today. In the morning, Ye Zhaojue and Luoyan came together and asked him to grant their marriage.
Luoyan had made things clear and also told Ye Zhaojue about the gambling between her and Jun Wuhen. It made Jun Wuhen incomparably embarrassed.
Ye Zhaojue was a stubborn person. There was no result that could be discussed. How could Jun Wuhen not understand the implication in the words? As long as he didn’t agree, Ye Zhaojue would resign his position as general and just be an ordinary people.
How could Jun Wuhen not know this was a naked threat? But now he had no choice.
All the soldiers respected Ye Zhaojue and only wanted to follow him. Now he had not cultivated another general yet who could win the hearts of the people. If Ye Zhaojue left at this time, the troop would suffer from low morale and get badly strung out. What should he do?
At least now Ye Zhaojue couldn’t be dismissed. When he had trained a successor, he would find a chance to kill Ye Zhaojue. And he would surely withdraw the tiger-shaped tally!
However, when Luoyan married Ye Zhaojue, his threat would be bigger. When he was in a dilemma, there was a message from the outside that Ye Zhaojue and Luoyan fell in love, but someone tried to prevent them from being together.
Common people were surely to revere Ye Zhaojue. When they heard these words, they started to petition spontaneously to help them be together. If Jun Wuhen stopped them, he would become the villain in the gossip.
He had no choice but to agree. On the second thought, Bai Aoxue was still under his control. He was not afraid of Ye Zhaojue’s rebellion! If Ye Zhaojue conspired against this state, he would let Bai Aoxue kill Ye Zhaojue with her own hands!
Thinking of this, Jun Wuhen thought that he finally won a round.
The scout said that the carriage of 5th Prince’s mansion had been out of town. Jun Wuhen was confused. He planned to let Bai Aoxue enter the palace to find out the truth. But he didn’t expect to get bad news again. His favorite Zhulan Resort was burned down.
He deployed manpower to put out the fire, but all of them didn’t go back.
“You are all good-for-nothing! Are you guys worth your salt?! What can you do for me?” Jun Wuhen vigorously swept everything off the table, gasping and scolding loudly.
All ministers had been summoned into the palace urgently. At this moment, they dared not to say a word. They listened to Jun Wuhen venting his anger.
“Say something! Are you dumb? Don’t you always have the gift of gab? Why don’t you talk now?” Jun Wuhen squinted his eyes, looking at shrinking ministers one by one, and his anger in the heart was hard to implacable.
“Your Majesty, please calm down! Take care of your body!” Scholars from the Imperial Academy came out to persuade their king.
Since there were people came out. The rest would follow of course.
Jun Wuhen listened to the flattery one by one. Although he was still unhappy in his heart, he was very satisfied with these words.
“Your Majesty, a group of palace guards have been sent out. I believe they will soon arrest the thief! The powerful force of the palace guards is obvious to us all.” Another minister said immediately.
Jun Wuhen also gradually showed a smile. When they saw that, they continued to flatter him.
When Jun Wuhen was going to let these ministers go, a little eunuch hurriedly ran into the palace.
“Bold! Don’t you see Your Majesty there? Why are you in a rush?” As soon as the little eunuch stepped into the palace, he was stopped by the guard at the door.
Jun Wuhen clearly heard the noise outside. He frowned tightly again.
What’s going on today? Everything made him uneasy.
“Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I have big news to report!” The little eunuch was stopped by the guard, only crying out at the gate.
Suddenly the hall was quiet, and the little eunuch’s shrill voice, which was piercing and gripping, echoed in the hall.
When those ministers heard that there was big news, they once again became nervous. They were afraid of another big trouble!
When Jun Wuhen heard this, his heart suddenly beat fiercely and said to Eunuch Zhao: “Let him in. I want to know what’s the big news.”
Eunuch Zhao’s eyebrows and eyes quivered, and he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart: “Ask the people outside to come in.”
As soon as the bodyguard heard it, he immediately let him go. The little eunuch stumbled into the palace, knelt on the main hall, being breathless.
Jun Wuhen looked at the little eunuch at the moment, and his eyebrows frowned more tightly.
Eunuch Zhao always knew how to observe one’s speech and behavior. He said in a sharp voice: “Why don’t you report it quickly? Your Majesty is waiting! ”
The little eunuch was shocked by the voice of Eunuch Zhao. He dared not to breathe, but kowtowed to Jun Wuhen several times.
“Today, I served Concubine Yun to go to the imperial garden to get things. We happened to pass by the imperial study. We heard the sound of heavy objects falling onto the ground and the sound of porcelain breaking. I thought Your Majesty was in the room, but I shouted a few times and no one answered. I found that things are in a bad way, so I went into the imperial study under the guidance of Concubine Yun.” The little eunuch went into detail as if he was recalling.
“I came to the imperial study with Concubine Yun and found that Your Majesty was not in the study, so we felt much easier. But there were many white jade pieces under the table. When I followed Concubine Yun, I saw the sculpture that I had seen at the banquet a few days ago. It was the white jade sculpture sent by Prince Peerless, and it was already broken.” The more the eunuch said, the lower his voice was, but he insisted on saying it.
Jun Wuhen on the high seat became extremely cruel instead of being kind like he was at the beginning.
Clenching his fist tightly, he said: “What are you talking about? Say it again!”
The little eunuch listened to Jun Wuhen’s cold voice, and his heart was cold. But he still summoned up his courage and said loudly, “The sculpture in the imperial study is smashed!”
Then the little eunuch closed his eyes tightly and did not dare to look at Jun Wuhen on the high platform.
When the little eunuch’s words fell, beside Jun Wuhen, Eunuch Zhao’s heart missed a beat. He knew that something bad would happen.
In the palace, all the ministers dared not speak. Some people who knew some of the inside story were groaning inwardly. They all knew the importance of the sculpture.
Although some ministers who didn’t know the origin of the sculpture weren’t as afraid as other ministers, they were also nervous when they looked at Jun Wuhen’s cold expression.
“Good! Good! Good! Very good!” Jun Wuhen said “good” for four times in a row. He clenched his fists tightly. It seemed that his eyesight could kill people. No one dared to look directly at him.
“Set up to the imperial study!” He said loudly.
At the moment, he just wanted to see the sculpture and confirm what the eunuch had said. He didn’t care about the rest.
All the ministers followed Jun Wuhen carefully. They were all trembling.
When they came to the imperial study, all the ministers had their hearts in their mouths.
Jun Wuhen stepped into the imperial study and saw Concubine Yun inside. She was commanding people to clean the white jade pieces.
This kind of scene thoroughly caused Jun Wuhen losing his mind.
He stepped towards Concubine Yun, raised his hand and slapped her severely!
“Bitch! What are you doing! ”
Everyone didn’t expect such a scene. They all knew how much Jun Wuhen loved Concubine Yun, but they didn’t think that Concubine Yun would be beaten by Jun Wuhen for a sculpture.
What’s more, they didn’t expect that the emperor, who had always been elegant, should have such a violent side! Concubine Yun falling to sit on the ground, she covered her aching red face, and unbelievably looked at Jun Wuhen with shock.
But Jun Wuhen didn’t even look at Concubine Yun. He turned around and looked at all the people. His eyes were cold and gloomy.
“Guards!” Jun Wuhen shouted loudly.
The guards who were waiting outside immediately came in and stood by.
“Kill all the people on duty in the imperial study today!” Jun Wuhen said violently and coldly, regardless of the maids and eunuchs with pale faces.
Jun Wuhen’s behavior like this made ministers afraid. No one dared to dissuade him.
The bodyguards seized the eunuchs and maids and took them away. All the way, there were the sounds of begging for mercy.
But Jun Wuhen was indifferent.
“Send someone to surround the palace! No one is allowed to leave without my order! I want to see who dare to challenge me!” Jun Wuhen roared angrily.
At this moment, Jun Wuhen was like a defeated lion, having no dignity and grace at all.
At the same time, Jun Yeyan in the bamboo yard had been companying with Bai Aoxue. He didn’t have any rest and anything to eat. He didn’t even know how much blood he coughed.
The toxins in the body were flowing freely, but they were all suppressed by him with internal force.
He was very clear about his physical condition at the moment. He didn’t know how long he could control the flow of toxins, but in any case, he must stick till tomorrow!
When Zhao came to the bamboo yard, the door of the bamboo house was not closed. What he saw was that Jun Yeyan was coughing out blood, but he wiped the corners of his mouth as if nothing had happened and still took cared of Bai Aoxue.
He knew that at the moment, he could not persuade his master to cure himself. But he couldn’t see him like this. If it went on like this, Jun Yeyan would become obsessed sooner or later!
“Master…” Zhao called softly when he stepped into the bamboo house.
“How is it going?” Jun Yeyan asked lightly.
“The sculpture has been destroyed and Zhulan Resort has been burned. The marriage between General Ye and Prince Luoyan has been settled.” He reported things one by one.
Jun Yeyan listened, nodded with satisfaction and looked at Bai Aoxue affectionately. He said: “Xue, the marriage between uncle and Luoyan has been settled. You will be happy.”
“Well, you can leave.” Jun Yeyan commanded lightly.
“Master… Your wound…” he wanted to speak but stopped on a second thought.
Jun Yeyan surely knew what he was going to say. He interrupted: “You don’t need to persuade me. I will stay till tomorrow anyway and see the condition of Xue.”
Knowing that persuasion was useless, Zhao retreated quietly, hoping that princess would get better soon.
Jun Yeyan stayed beside the bed, holding Bai Aoxue’s hand tightly, and called softly: “Xue…Xue. ” While he was calling the name, he immediately forgot the pain.
The next day, the sun’s rays, hitting Bai Aoxue’s eyebrows and eyes, it’s as warm as ever. Bai Aoxue slowly opened her eyes and felt the warm sunlight around her eyes. The feeling that it was really good to be alive came again.
She had an eye contact with Mumian who looked very joyful.
“Miss! You’re awake! Great, great! ”
She thought she could see him after waking up…
