Rebirth: The Two-Faced Cook Meets the Cold-Faced King Qin

While they were discussing the origin of the shadow in the secret room, at the other end of the palace,☆

In the magnificent palace, the emperor had just returned from hunting and was sitting on the dragon throne. ☆

Suddenly, there was a noisy sound outside the palace, and then a young eunuch stumbled in, his face full of panic. ☆

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty!” The young eunuch knelt on the ground, his voice trembling, “The library… The library is on fire!”☆

The emperor stood up suddenly upon hearing this, his face instantly turning pale. ☆

He clenched his hands, his eyes flashing with anger, as if he wanted to set the whole hall on fire. ☆

"What?!" he roared, his voice echoing in the hall, "Why did the library catch fire?!"☆

The emperor's anger was like a blazing flame, shrouding the entire hall in an oppressive atmosphere. ☆

The palace servants were all silent, fearing that they might accidentally anger the king who was in a rage. ☆

At this moment, the emperor felt not only anger, but also an indescribable sorrow. ☆

The countless books treasured in the library were all treasures he had carefully collected over the years, but now they were reduced to ashes in a fire. ☆

Then, the emperor waved his hand, signaling the eunuch to leave, and then turned and walked out of the palace, ready to check the situation in person. ☆

With the Emperor's departure, the tense atmosphere in the palace eased slightly. ☆

The arrival of the Emperor filled the originally quiet library with a tense atmosphere. ☆

He looked around and saw only charred bookshelves and books scattered all over the floor. This messy scene silently told of the ferocity of the fire last night. ☆

The emperor's eyes swept through the crowd and finally stopped at an old man. ☆

The old man was busy with his work with his head down, and felt the emperor's gaze.☆

He immediately put down the work in his hands and knelt down tremblingly to pay his respects.

"Long live the emperor." His voice was trembling, and he was obviously nervous about the emperor's sudden arrival. ☆

"Stand up."☆

The emperor's voice was majestic and deep. ☆

He stared at the old man and asked:

"I want to ask you, what happened to the fire in the library last night? Where is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion now?"☆

When the old man heard the emperor's question, he did not dare to hide anything and immediately told him the details of what happened last night. He said:

"Yesterday, this old servant went to bed early, leaving Miss Su alone in the library to copy as punishment.☆

By the time I discovered the fire and rushed here, the fire was already out of control. ”☆

At this point, the old man paused, raised his head and glanced at the emperor cautiously, then continued:☆

"Later, I heard that Miss Su was rescued by His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin and His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince.☆

However, it is still unknown whether she is safe or not. ☆

I have already sent someone to get the news. Once I get any, I will report it to the emperor immediately. "☆

When the emperor heard this, his brows furrowed. ☆

"I understand." The emperor said in a deep voice.

"You must continue to send people to find out the whereabouts and safety of Miss Su.☆

Once you have accurate information, report back immediately. ☆

In addition, please convey my order and have the King of Qin and His Highness the Sixth Prince come to see me as soon as possible. I want to personally understand what happened. "☆

Following the emperor's order, the entire palace became busy again. ☆

"Yes, I obey your order." The old slave heard the emperor's order and immediately responded respectfully.

Then quickly retreat to arrange related matters. ☆

Soon, the imperial palace messenger rode out of the palace on a fast horse.

Deliver the Emperor's order to the residences of the Prince of Qin and the Sixth Prince respectively. ☆

Inside the palace, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, and all the eunuchs and palace maids were very cautious.

I was afraid that something might go wrong at this time and cause the emperor's wrath. ☆

The emperor sat alone in the imperial study, his brows furrowed, his fingers tapping lightly on the table, revealing his inner anxiety. ☆

The actions of the Prince of Qin and His Highness the Sixth Prince have caused the Emperor to have many doubts and speculations. ☆

As time passed, the emperor seemed to be getting a little restless. ☆

After a long wait, the King of Qin and His Highness the Sixth Prince came to the Imperial Study together. ☆

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father." They both said in unison, with a hint of nervousness in their voices. ☆

"Stand up." The emperor said in a deep voice, looking back and forth between the two of them.☆

"I summoned you here to learn about the fire in the library. Can you tell me in detail?"☆

The King of Qin and His Highness the Sixth Prince exchanged a glance, and then the King of Qin spoke up, describing in detail the process of rescuing Miss Su. ☆

How they learned that Miss Su was in danger, how they responded quickly, and the various difficulties they encountered during the rescue process, all of which were told to the emperor one by one. ☆

The emperor listened very carefully and nodded from time to time. ☆

"Well, you did a great job this time." The emperor said in a deep voice,☆

"I will reward you handsomely. Where is Miss Su now? I want to personally confirm her safety."☆

"Replying to Your Majesty, Miss Su is currently recuperating in my mansion."☆

The King of Qin said, "She was a little frightened, but she is fine. If you are worried, you can send someone to check on her."☆

"Well, I will send someone." said the emperor.

"You two should leave first. I need some quiet time." After saying that, he waved his hand, signaling the two to leave. ☆

With the departure of Prince Qin and His Highness the Sixth Prince, the Imperial Study Room regained its tranquility. ☆

The emperor sat there alone, with a complex light in his eyes. ☆

The mysteries and power struggles hidden behind this incident gave the emperor even more headaches. ☆

The emperor said to himself: "I'm afraid the days ahead won't be peaceful!"☆

He tilted his head slightly and signaled to Eunuch Li beside him to summon the guards. ☆

Eunuch Li understood what he meant and immediately walked out of the imperial study.☆

After a while, he returned to the room with several guards wearing armor and wearing long swords. ☆

"Your Majesty, the guards have arrived." Eunuch Li reported respectfully.

The emperor nodded, and his eyes swept over the guards in front of him. ☆

He said in a deep voice:

"Investigate for me what exactly happened to the fire in the library.☆

I want to know if there are human factors behind this, or if there are any unspeakable secrets. "☆

The guards were shocked when they heard this, and they responded in unison:☆

"Yes, sir!" They knew that this was an important task entrusted by the Emperor, and also a test of their loyalty and ability. ☆

Following the emperor's order, the guards quickly took action. ☆

They quietly left the imperial study, transformed into ghostly figures, and disappeared into the night of the imperial palace.☆

A secret investigation into the fire in the library has begun. ☆

The emperor gently rubbed his temples at this time, and a trace of fatigue flashed in his eyes. ☆

Then the emperor stood up, and the lights in the imperial study seemed to dim a little.☆

He walked slowly out of the imperial study, and the night breeze outside the palace blew towards him, taking away the scent of ink and the heaviness of government affairs in the room. ☆

At the same time, in another corner of the prosperous Dazhou City, the scene in the Qin Palace was quite different. ☆

The moonlight was bright, and the courtyard of the Prince of Qin's Mansion looked peaceful and profound. ☆

In the room where Ye Hanxing and Ye Wuhen were, the window lattice shone with warm yellow light, adding a touch of warmth to this solemn palace. ☆

"Brother, what do you think of the current situation?☆

Also, the death of Wanyan Shuo seems to be related to our Mongolian Yuan Dynasty,☆

The poison he was poisoned with seemed to come from one of our palaces.☆

I'm still looking into what it is."☆

Ye Wuhen's voice was deep and magnetic, he was playing with a black piece in his hand, staring at the chessboard on the table. ☆

Ye Hanxing raised his head, his eyes were like torches,☆

"The situation is under control, we just need to wait for the east wind. As for the death of Wanyan Shuo,☆

I guess it was done by our Mongol Yuan Dynasty's secret agents, intending to disrupt the government of the Great Zhou."☆

As he spoke, a white piece gently landed on the chessboard, forming a sharp confrontation with the black piece. ☆

Suddenly, a silver light streaked across the sky, flashing across the night sky like a shooting star. ☆

The dart, carrying a fierce momentum, suddenly shot out from the endless darkness and flew straight towards Ye Hanxing and Ye Wuhen's room. ☆

With a slight sound of breaking through the air, it struck the pillar of the room with incredible precision like a bolt of lightning. ☆

"Ding——" A crisp metallic collision sound was heard, and the dart was firmly nailed into the pillar, trembling slightly. ☆
