Chapter 107
"The emperor sent a message asking you to tell Liu Mu that Liu Yi was assassinated because someone wanted to alienate the relationship between the Mu Palace and the royal family. The emperor will definitely find out the truth about this matter and give Liu Mu an explanation."

Lu Hao said in a deep voice.

"Who assassinated the young prince? The old slave wants to avenge the young prince!"

Shopkeeper Xiong’s eyes were filled with tears and he was extremely angry.

"We are still investigating. Once there is any news, Xiao Liuzi will notify you as soon as possible."

Lu Hao responded.

"If the emperor says anything, I will definitely bring it to King Beibeiyuan. As for how the king will deal with it, I don't dare to speculate."

Shopkeeper Xiong had a sullen face, obviously dissatisfied with the answer he gave Lu Hao.

"To be honest, Shopkeeper Xiong, the emperor was assassinated and poisoned. Later, when he heard that Liu Yi was murdered, he was so enraged that he vomited a lot of blood and is still in a coma."

Lu Hao said truthfully.

"Isn't it said that the emperor's injuries are fine?"

Shopkeeper Xiong said doubtfully.

"That's just to stabilize the court situation. I have been serving the emperor all the time, so naturally I won't lie. However, I ask Shopkeeper Xiong to keep it secret."

Lu Hao explained solemnly.

"Please don't worry, father-in-law, I know this."

Shopkeeper Xiong nodded slightly, looking a little heavy.

The emperor is still in a coma, the young prince has been assassinated again, and the old prince may rebel at any time.

One after another shocking events, shopkeeper Xiong doesn't know what to do?
Lu Hao left quietly, got on the carriage, changed back into his official uniform, and wanted to return to the palace directly.

On the other side of the court, the noise has turned into a pot of porridge.

The Empress Dowager Shangguan Fengyi was sitting on the emperor's throne, her cold eyes filled with murderous intent.

Just now, she ordered Dugu Shenyong to prepare for war, but was blocked by Yu Qian, Prime Minister Yu and others.

As a civil servant, Yu Qian and others did not agree to immediately send troops to annihilate King Beiyuan.

After all, King Beiyuan was in the north and had no rebellion. Now that his troops were unknown and his morale was low, how could he still fight?
As the leader of a hundred officials, Yu Qian's words were supported by the majority of people.

As a high-ranking member of the military, Dugu Shenyong supports the Empress Dowager, but seems somewhat powerless.

After all, Marquis Zhongyong was great at fighting, but he was no match for Yu Qian and others in a war of words.

However, Dugu Shenyong's singing with the Empress Dowager in the court attracted the attention of Yu Qian and Yu Wenji.

Obviously, the reason why Marquis Zhongyong and the Queen Mother are sharing their anger is to help Marquis Zhongyong's daughter, Concubine Yi Guifei, fight for the crown prince's position.

It has to be said that Yu Qian has been in high and low officialdom for many years, and he instantly saw that they had formed an alliance.

After finally getting to the court to discuss politics, she encountered such a big obstacle. The Queen Mother was now very angry and annoyed.

From the news that Lu Hao received, the court did not come to a conclusion.

Mr. Di of the Criminal Department neglected his duties, resulting in Liu Yi's assassination. The guards are still on the run and were dismissed on the spot for investigation.

Lord Yu Qian wrote a letter on behalf of the emperor and sent it urgently to King Beiyuan, explaining in detail how Liu Yi was killed.

At the same time, the Prime Minister repeatedly stated that the royal family never killed Liu Yi.

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.

Under Lu Hao's care, Murong Yuan's injuries gradually improved, and he could already get out of bed and walk around, and he could also drink some rice-treasure porridge.

However, he was still haggard and his expression was still in a trance, as if he was still in a dream.

On the other side, Liu Mu got the news and chose to stand still.

After all, he is the emperor's confidant. Even if his son is killed, it will not affect the overall situation.

Originally, the Empress Dowager presented evidence and wanted to accuse Liu Mu of treason, but unexpectedly the Emperor stood up and said that he had asked Liu Mu to do everything.

Recruit troops and buy horses, expand armaments, privately forge weapons, purchase war horses...

None of these matters were reported to the Ministry of War, which was obviously against the rules and the laws of the empire.

However, the emperor stepped forward to take the blame, and the empress dowager had no choice but to endure it.

In the inner room of Qianyuan Palace.

After Lu Hao helped Murong Yuan with acupuncture and massage, the latter arrived immediately and felt extremely relaxed.

A shadow floated in and fell to his knees.

"Yanwu Secret Guard No. 30 meets the Emperor!"

"Be flat!"

Murong Yuan waved his hand.

Lu Hao was used to standing next to him.Because during this period, Yanwu secret guards were coming in to report the situation at any time.

When the emperor was injured, Yanwu secret guards reported directly to the empress dowager. Now that the emperor was awake, he naturally wanted to send the information to Murong Yuan.

"Reporting to the Emperor, news came from the west that the mastermind behind Liu Yi's murder should be Generalissimo Chen Lin."

Yanwu secret guard said loudly.

"Is there any conclusive evidence?"

Murong Yuan asked.

"Not yet, but this is the directional result of all the intelligence."

Yanwu secret guard responded.

"The name of a wise and handsome man is indeed well-deserved! He didn't even leave any traces behind!"

Murong Yuan was filled with emotions.

In fact, he was completely sure that Chen Lin was responsible for Liu Yi, and it was also Chen Lin who assassinated him.

However, Chen Lin did it very carefully without any flaws.

If you attack rashly, you may be criticized.

"Where is Chen Lin's Yulin Army now?"

Murong Yuan asked in a deep voice.

"Reporting to your Majesty, one hundred thousand Yulin elites are currently stationed at Hangu Pass in the east of Baofeng Plain."

Yanwu secret guard responded.

"What a wise commander. Hangu Pass has strangled the army's westward march. He can advance, attack, retreat or defend. He is worthy of being the military god of the Great Yan Empire!"

Murong Yuan sighed.

Now he has determined that Chen Lin is his enemy, but this enemy is really terrifying.

Although one hundred thousand elite troops is not too many, relying on the natural barrier of Hangu Pass is enough to stop a million troops.

If I hadn't used the Queen's throne to exchange the Yanshan Camp under Chen Lin's control.

Now that Chen Lin controls an army of 40, he can raise troops to rebel at any time, and he will not cause such a conspiracy.

However, the Yu Lin Army led by Chen Lin had never been defeated, and even with only 10 men, it still made Murong Yuan fearful.

If Liu Mu can help him build an elite army, he can fight against Chen Lin.

The current situation is that although Liu Mu has no intention of sending troops south, he also has no intention of continuing to expand armaments.

The worst thing is that after Liu Yi's incident, Liu Mu took 20 troops under his command, and his strength suddenly increased countless times.

"Cough cough cough..."

Thinking of this, Murong Yuan became short of breath again and coughed violently.

"emperor……"

Lu Hao quickly stepped forward and patted him on the back before he calmed down.

The Yanwu secret guards also disappeared.

"Xiao Liuzi, I'm afraid it will be difficult for my body to recover."

Murong Yuan was a little sad.

"Your Majesty, you are still young. This injury is nothing. You will get better soon."

Lu Hao comforted.

"I want you to go to Concubine Li instead of me..."

Murong Yuan was about to speak but stopped.

"Your Majesty, if you say it's okay, I will definitely do it."

Lu Hao said quickly.

"Go and favor Concubine Li on my behalf and make a loud noise so that they will think that my injury has healed."

Murong Yuan finally spoke out.

"The slave obeys!"

Xiao Liuzi responded loudly.

"Also, tell Concubine Li that I intend to make Murong Xian the crown prince!"

Murong Yuan added.
