Chen Changli's words and deeds indicated that the poisonous insect that escaped from Duke Huiguo's body was the culprit that killed him. Wan Shufang at most failed to discover the poisonous insect in time, so the emperor could not punish her.

The Eighth Prince on the side glanced at Chen Changli and said sarcastically, "Wan Shufang is your wife. The death of Duke Huiguo is related to her. Naturally, you can't wait to exonerate her."

Wan Shufang suddenly raised her head and glanced at him, and said in a tough tone: "Your Majesty, if you want to investigate this matter, then I will bear part of the responsibility. However, my husband is right. Duke Huiguo died because of the poisonous insect."

"Don't try to quibble." The Eighth Prince made no secret of his ill will towards Wan Shufang.

"This matter is for His Majesty to handle. It would be better for the Eighth Prince not to interfere." Chen Changli's voice was cold, as if he was warning the Eighth Prince.

The emperor narrowed his eyes dangerously, and then asked Su Dequan to ask the imperial physician he trusted to examine Duke Huiguo.

Su Dequan acted very quickly. As soon as several imperial doctors arrived, they began to examine Duke Huiguo's condition and concluded that he had died of poisoning.

"Poisoned? Duke Huiguo must have been in great pain when he died." The emperor said in a choked voice.

Duke Huiguo was three years younger than the emperor. Seeing that Duke Huiguo was always in good health, the emperor felt that he was a lot younger.

Now that Duke Huiguo is dead, the emperor feels that death has found him too.

An indescribable fear and anger was boiling in his heart, and he almost couldn't help but burst out into killing.

But he still had some rationality, so he had to suppress his murderous intent and stare at the body of Duke Huiguo in grief.

"Increase efforts to capture Lin Sheng. If he continues to resist, strangle him on the spot."

The emperor became furious and many guards became busy. Soon, the city of Luoyang was filled with panic and blood.

Lin Sheng, who had been looking for a place to hide, felt that the efforts to capture him were increasing, and his heart sank.

"Your Majesty, you forced me to do this."

He clenched his hands, then loosened them. The embarrassed Lin Sheng looked at the place where the strange man was imprisoned.

His eyes darkened and he mustered up his courage to run towards the strange man.

His every move was seen by Chang Xuewei who was observing him secretly.

"This person named Lin Sheng is quite surprising." Chang Xuewei lifted her hair and said in an inexplicable tone.

"Liu Qingshan didn't return for two days, and then Lin Sheng escaped from the cold palace and the emperor arrested him. I guess this must be Liu Qingshan's doing." A middle-aged man with a beard guessed.

Chang Xuewei glanced at him and shook her head, saying, "Liu Qingshan was indeed sent to the cold palace. Unfortunately, he was unlucky and actually ran into Liu Yaoyao in the cold palace, and was killed by her."

Chang Xuewei knew very well what kind of grudge there was between Liu Yaoyao and Liu Qingshan.

She originally wanted one to be in the light while the other to be in the dark, so that the two would not be involved with each other and she could hide deeper.

Who would have thought that Liu Qingshan would suddenly have the idea of ​​running to the palace, and Liu Yaoyao happened to be there. It is true that man proposes, God disposes.

Sighing inwardly, Chang Xuewei said calmly, "Liu Yaoyao is decisive and ruthless. I am very worried that she will be retaliated against, so I put my hope on Liu Qingshan."

"I don't want Liu Qingshan to respect me on the surface, but actually not take me seriously. His private actions are nothing but a mockery of me."

"So no matter what happened in the cold palace, whether Lin Sheng's escape was related to him, we can only wait and see, and we can't intervene, lest we ruin Liu Qingshan's arrangement."

Speaking of the word "arrangement", Chang Xuewei's expression was full of irony. Obviously, Liu Qingshan's death made all his plans a joke.

The middle-aged man heard the subtlety in Chang Xuewei's tone, and after thinking about it, he vaguely understood what Chang Xuewei was thinking.

He touched his nose and said with a guilty look: "Liu Qingshan is dead. Although we don't know what he is planning in the palace, we can help him. This way, he won't become a joke."

"Miss Chang, the emperor pretended to be unconscious and deliberately asked Chen Changli and his wife to cooperate. I'm afraid he has other intentions."

"Liu Qingshan's incident was actually just the right time. As long as we are careful, we can turn the tables."

"Why do you recognize Liu Qingshan?" Chang Xuewei was silent for a long time and suddenly asked.

The middle-aged man was stunned by the question, and after two breaths, he said: "Although Liu Qingshan is a remnant of the previous dynasty and is determined to overthrow Dajing, everything he does is in the interests of the master. I think no matter how vicious his mind is, he will let the master take advantage of it, so I thought of letting you take advantage of it."

"Haha, if Liu Qingshan knew that this is how you think of him, he would probably be so angry that he would die." Chang Xuewei laughed heartily, but she was thinking about his words in her heart.

She had not paid attention to Liu Qingshan before, so after the people in the cold palace spread the news, she only despised Liu Qingshan for being useless and did not even think of avenging him.

Now, listening to the middle-aged man's words, she thought of Liu Yaoyao who attacked Liu Qingshan, and her expression turned slightly cold: "Liu Yaoyao is too ruthless, Liu Qingshan died unjustly."

With her fingers folded together and rubbing gently, Chang Xuewei decided to take the middle-aged man's advice and secretly add fuel to the fire, allowing Lin Sheng and the emperor to deal with each other for a while longer.

However, Lin Sheng only wanted to destroy the entire Luoyang City and had no plan to save himself at all.

So after waiting for Chang Xuewei to secretly help him and give him a push, he left with a few weirdos in one go.

When the emperor's men came after him, he let go of those weirdos and found a place to hide himself.

"God is helping me too, haha, Your Majesty, this is the retribution for your scheming and causing harm to so many people."

As soon as he hid, Lin Sheng noticed that the sky changed drastically and he laughed out loud in surprise.

God was indeed willing to help him, but in a moment a strong wind blew, dark clouds descended, followed by lightning, thunder, and heavy rain.

The violent storm put out the raging fire in just three breaths, and the strange people who were restricted by the flames and had to hide in the corner were like being pardoned.

They were like sharp blades, roaming around Luoyang City. When the people chasing Lin Sheng bumped into them, they became one of them in the blink of an eye.

"Lin Sheng is there, let's quickly lead the weirdo over and let him kill him."

The appearance of the strange man shocked and frightened many officers and soldiers, while Lin Sheng's wild laughter was very harsh.

Some officers and soldiers who reacted quickly thought that they could not survive anyway, so they might as well strangle Lin Sheng according to the emperor's wishes.

With such thoughts in mind, Lin Sheng was not proud for long before he was eaten by the monster, but the harm he brought continued to spread outward.

People outside the cold palace soon noticed the situation and immediately reported it to the emperor, who then became so angry that his face turned blue.

"Lin Sheng actually released a weirdo. Is he going to be the first sinner in Dajing?"

Su Dequan could not care about anything else and quickly advised the emperor: "Your Majesty, now is not the time to be angry. What we need to do now is to deal with the weirdo. Otherwise, once the weirdo rushes into the cold palace, we will all die."

"Hurry up and call Chen Changli and Ye Xuan." The emperor was reminded, and his anger was like being doused by a basin of ice water, and he felt completely cold.
