Chapter 1163: Imperial Guards
Wu Pingkang was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he knelt on the floor with a thud. His heart trembled wildly. He remembered that day, after leaving the United Kingdom, Bai Zhi asked him about the new emperor and his harem. Then asked a few more questions about the matter.
He didn’t think much about it at the time, he just thought it was the nature of women to gossip.
But who knows, there was such a reason.
If he knew this was the case, he wouldn’t have said those words to death.
“Aren’t you ready to say it yet?” Chu Yan said angrily when he saw his appearance. He knew something was wrong.
How could Wu Pingkang dare to hide anything, he repeated the situation at that time and what he had said.
Chu Yan’s tightly knit brows did not relax in the slightest, and his complexion became more and more gloomy. As if a big stone was pressing on his heart, making him unable to breathe.
He should have thought of it a long time ago, how could a person as proud as Bai Zhi accept this?
“This humble minister deserves to die, this humble minister deserves to die!” Wu Pingkang kowtowed three times.
Chu Yan sighed, waved his hand, and said, “It’s none of your business, step back.”
When Wu Pingkang was amnestied, he thanked the emperor in a hurry and rushed out of the imperial study room.
Chu Yan squeezed the black pistol in his hand, slowly walked back to the chair, and sat down. The pain in his chest came and went, and the high-pressure suffocation made him feel powerless.
He didn’t keep the promise he made to her, what face would he show to meet her?
Did she blame him that’s why she refuse to appear in front of him. It was his fault!
After a while, Eunuch Fu came to report and said that he was can go.
Chu Yan got up, but his eyes went dark, and almost fell to the ground.
Three years ago, he had a severe illness searching for Bai Zhi. Since then, he has suffered from heartache and chills. Every time the heartache attacks, his body will be weak.
Eunuch Fu hurriedly supported him: “Your Majesty, you can’t leave the palace now, why don’t you—”
Before Eunuch Fu could finish speaking, Chu Yan pushed him away, took a deep breath, suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and walked out.
As soon as he walked out of the hall, his back was drenched with sweat.
“The Emperor—”
Eunuch Fu shouted from behind, but Chu Yan didn’t stop.
In his situation, riding a horse was no longer possible, so he changed to a carriage.
Eunuch Fu asked Imperial Physician Xu to accompany him, and then he left the imperial city.
The emperor’s departure from the palace was kept a secret, and not many people knew about it. The civil and military officials were told that the emperor was ill when they went to court on the second day, so they don’t need to go to the court for three days.
However, there has never been an impenetrable wall in this world.
Some interested people still got the news that the emperor quietly left the palace.
For a while, the situation in the capital was in chaos.
At the same time, several groups of forces were secretly moving.
Chu Yan has never been a soft persimmon. During the past two years of being the emperor, he has been busy with many things. It was not in vain. He has secretly cultivated imperial guards.
The captain of the Imperial Guards was Fu Zheng, and the vice-captain was Zhou Awu, both of whom he trusted the most.
The duty of the imperial guards was not to protect the emperor, but to monitor the movements of the various prefectures and court officials in the capital.
The imperial guards were dormant on ordinary days, like ordinary people in the market, nothing special.
However, when needed, the collected information from various places and court officials will be sent to the palace.
Once there was any disturbance, the palace will know immediately.
For example, after the emperor came out of the palace, Young Master Xiao entered the palace to visit Concubine Xiao and had a secret conversation for two hours before leaving the palace.
After leaving the palace, Young Master Xiao immediately wrote a letter and sent someone to rush it to the northwest.
However, in the end, the letter fell into Fu Zheng and Zhou Awu’s hands.
