Chapter 62 The Emperor's Fright

The voice echoed in the empty palace without causing any movement, as if the palace had become a dead place at this moment.

Li Liang was startled and said quickly

"Mr. San San, keep your voice down." He looked around in horror.

Jia Hu turned to look at him and frowned.
"Li Liang, you've been with me for quite some time, why are you still so timid?

You were there every time I killed someone. Now you even came to kill the emperor in the palace.
What are you afraid of? It's embarrassing." After saying that, he looked at Li Liang with disdain, turned around and strode away.

Li Liang was stunned. Yes, he had seen everything.

The emperor, the emperor, uh, although he is a fake emperor,

But he was wearing a dragon robe, and he died in front of him.

He looked down at the stick in his hand and threw it away. He was not afraid of anything. He was going to die anyway.
Either he was taken away by the Third Master, or by someone else. The sooner he died, the sooner he would be reborn.

Anyway, I have seen a lot of the world, so I have no regrets.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt his legs become strong again and he hurriedly chased after Jia Hu.

In the Imperial Palace, in a secret palace, the layout inside is almost exactly the same as the Imperial Study.
Emperor Qianwen did not sit on the dragon throne, but walked back and forth with a worried look on his face.

Next to him were several hidden guards in black, watching the surrounding situation with vigilance.

The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside.
Emperor Qianwen paused, turned his head abruptly, and looked towards the gate with a sharp gaze.

The men in black also became nervous, their bodies tense and their eyes staring at the door like hawks.

"Your Majesty." Xia Shouzhong shouted outside, and Emperor Qianwen breathed a sigh of relief. It was Xia Shouzhong.

The man in black also relaxed a little. Xia Shouzhong didn't know about this place, so he must have been brought here by his own people, but he still remained vigilant.

Sure enough, a man in black led Xia Shouzhong in.
"Your Majesty." Xia Shouzhong knelt down as soon as he arrived. His voice was a little hoarse. He was really scared.

Emperor Qianwen asked hurriedly

"How is it? What did Jia Hu do?"

Xia Shouzhong calmed himself down and said timidly:
"Your Majesty, he killed the double."

"What?" Emperor Qianwen's face changed drastically. Although that person was not him,
But Jia Hu didn't know, which meant that Jia Hu was really here to kill him, and he felt a chill behind his back.

At this moment, a man in black rushed in and knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, Jia Hu just left the palace."

Emperor Qianwen's eyes flickered, and his frown relaxed a little. The man in black stammered again:

"But before he left, he said something else."

Emperor Qianwen said coldly
"What?"

The man in black carefully glanced at Emperor Qianwen and whispered this time
"He said
"If you come to provoke me again and I can't find the emperor, I will massacre the entire palace." After saying this, the man in black lowered his head.

Emperor Qianwen's face changed, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He actually dared to threaten him.

"Humph, it seems that he knows that he is a fake. He actually dares to say that he massacred my palace?" His face was terribly dark.

Emperor Qianwen suddenly looked at Xia Shouzhong coldly

"Xia Shouzhong, did you reveal it? Otherwise, how could you be okay?"

Xia Shouzhong's body trembled, and he felt a little resentful towards Emperor Qianwen. He was hoping for his death.

"Your Majesty, I didn't. It might be... because there was a mistake with the stand-in." He quickly recounted the whole story.

Emperor Qianwen looked at Xia Shouzhong suspiciously, and finally nodded and said, "Well, maybe so. I want to see what skills he has." Then he walked outside.

Xia Shouzhong collapsed on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief.
His life was completely saved, and he hid his dissatisfaction with Emperor Qianwen deep in his heart.

In the Imperial Study, when Emperor Qian'an saw the death of the man in the dragon robe,
My pupils shrank, and I felt my scalp tingling. I couldn't help but touch my neck with my hand.
It should have been me lying here.

Only by seeing it with his own eyes did Emperor Qianwen realize how cruel Jia Hu was. Combined with Xia Shouzhong's description,

He knew that even if he stood here with someone protecting him, he would probably end up the same way.

The atmosphere in the room was strange. After a long while, Emperor Qianwen slowly exhaled and said coldly:
"Destroy the bodies and the tables and chairs."

Xia Shouzhong said quickly
"Yes, Your Majesty."

Emperor Qianwen slowly turned around and said in an inexplicable tone

"Seal this place up, and review memorials in the East Warm Pavilion from now on." After saying that, he hurried out, his back looking a little flustered.

Xia Shouzhong looked at Emperor Qianwen's back, a hint of sneer flashed in his eyes.
This is scary. You never thought that there are people in this world who are more cruel than you.

In the East Warm Pavilion, Emperor Qianwen sat at the table. He had no intention of reviewing memorials. The scene of his substitute's death kept popping up in his mind.

"Xia Shouzhong." Emperor Qianwen said suddenly.

"The old slave is here."

"Send a secret guard to keep an eye on Jia Hu. Make sure he doesn't find out.
Especially since he left Rongguo Mansion, I want to know where he went, do you understand? Emperor Qianwen really didn't dare to provoke Jia Hu.
But just in case, it’s safer to know his whereabouts at all times. What if he comes to the palace again?

Xia Shouzhong also understood the meaning and said respectfully

"Old slave obeys the order."

Emperor Qianwen exhaled, thought of something, and asked
"What about the unconscious people?"

Xia Shouzhong said quickly
"Your Majesty, they are all awake.
The imperial physician examined him and found that he was in a coma because he was contaminated with a poisonous powder."

Emperor Qianwen was startled and said angrily
"Let the Imperial Hospital research an antidote for this poison powder. I don't want to see anyone break into the palace openly again."

"I obey your command." Xia Shouzhong said hurriedly.

Emperor Qianwen nodded, his eyes flickered, and he murmured,
"It seems that he still has some sense of propriety and doesn't kill anyone he sees."

Xia Shouzhong glanced at Emperor Qianwen and agreed with this statement, otherwise he would not be able to stay alive and well.

When Jia Hu returned to Rongguo Mansion, two doormen were waiting there. They hurriedly opened the door and let Jia Hu and his companion in.

Jia Hu glanced at the two of them and nodded.
"Thank you for your hard work." After saying that, he took a step forward.

The two doormen were stunned and looked at Jia Hu's back with strange eyes.
It seems that this Mr. Hu San is not as scary as imagined.

Li Liang glanced at the two of them.
"Okay, don't make a fuss, Third Master is still very reasonable.

Don't tell anyone about what we did today." He still reminded me.
Because what you are going to do today is something earth-shattering, so it is better to be cautious.

"Well, don't worry, Brother Liang." The two nodded in unison.

Only then did Li Liang follow with peace of mind.

No one in the Jia family knew what Jia Hu did when he went out.
If they knew, they would probably be terrified.
