"If Prince Jingyu doesn't know what's good for him, I don't mind making him pay a higher price."
Chapter 189 Xiao Ruojin's frustration and Emperor Tai'an's cruel thoughts
There was a dead silence in Prince Jingyu's mansion.
The servants who had just escaped were trembling all over and told King Jingyu Xiao Ruojin everything that happened in the school with horror on their faces.
"Your Majesty, that Baili Changge is truly terrifying!"
"King Langya went to stop him, but he was easily defeated. He even... beat our people to pieces!"
As Xiao Ruojin listened to the servants' reports, his expression became increasingly gloomy, and anger surged in his heart like a volcano about to erupt.
His hands were clenched into fists, veins bulging, and his eyes were burning with rage.
"Bai Li Chang Ge!"
"I give you face, but you dare to bully my Jingyu Palace like this!"
Xiao Ruojin shouted angrily, and his voice echoed in the hall of the palace, shaking everyone's hearts.
He paced back and forth, unable to calm the anger in his heart.
His wife was taken away, the servants in the palace were killed, and his younger brother was beaten. This was a great humiliation.
As the King of Jingyu, he holds a high position in the court. How could he have ever suffered such humiliation?
"Come here! Gather the palace guards and follow me to meet this Baili Changge!"
Xiao Ruojin said angrily.
The guards of the palace quickly gathered, each with a serious face and holding a weapon, ready to follow Xiao Ruojin to the school.
However, at this moment, the royal counselor hurried over.
"Your Highness, don't be impulsive!" said the counselor anxiously.
"Humph! How can I bear this?"
"If I don't get back at this place today, how can I still have the dignity to stand in the court?"
Xiao Ruojin's eyes widened with anger.
The counselor quickly advised: "Your Highness, Baili Changge is very powerful. Even you are no match for him."
"If we go there rashly, I'm afraid we'll only suffer losses again."
"Besides, if this matter gets out of hand and reaches His Majesty's ears, it will be disadvantageous to the prince."
Xiao Ruojin was slightly stunned, and the anger in his heart subsided a little.
He knew that what the counselor said made sense, but the humiliation in his heart made it difficult for him to let go.
"Then tell me, what should I do? Should I just let it go?"
Xiao Ruojin said with gritted teeth.
The counselor thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, this matter requires long-term consideration."
"We can first send someone to find out Baili Changge's weaknesses and see how we can kill him."
"At the same time, you can also report this matter to His Majesty and let His Majesty make the decision for the prince."
"After all, just because we can't get rid of Baili Changge doesn't mean Your Majesty can't do it."
Xiao Ruojin frowned, thinking about the counselor's advice.
After a moment, he nodded.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
"First, send someone to find out all the details about Baili Changge's (baag), and then prepare a memorial. I will report this matter to His Majesty." Xiao Ruojin said.
.........
......
...
At the same time, in the palace.
Emperor Tai'an also learned what happened in the school.
The eunuch hurried to Emperor Tai'an and reported to him in detail what he had seen and heard.
After hearing this, Emperor Tai'an's expression changed slightly, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
"How dare Baili Changge be so presumptuous!" Emperor Tai'an said angrily.
He pondered for a moment and began to weigh the pros and cons of this matter.
The appearance of Baili Changge disrupted some of his plans.
He originally thought that he could control some forces through King Jingyu, but now it seems that things have become complicated.
"Your Majesty, how should this matter be handled?" the eunuch asked cautiously.
Emperor Tai'an narrowed his eyes slightly, with a shrewd light flashing in his eyes.
"Don't act rashly yet."
"Send someone to investigate the woman's background and purpose."
"At this time, we need to observe calmly and see how the various forces react."
"I want to know how many people in the court are loyal to the Marquis of Zhenxi Mansion."
Emperor Tai'an said with a grim expression.
The eunuch nodded and left.
Emperor Tai'an sat on the dragon throne, lost in thought.
He knew that this matter would not end so easily.
King Jingyu will definitely not give up, and Baili Changge seems to have his own plans.
He needed to find a balance in this turmoil, neither allowing King Jingyu to become too arrogant nor allowing Baili Changge to become an unstable factor.
And now on the other side.
Xiao Ruojin paced back and forth in the palace. Although the anger in his heart had subsided a little due to the persuasion of his advisers, the feeling of frustration and unwillingness still lingered in his heart.
"This matter must not be left unsolved!"
Soon, after careful preparation, Xiao Ruojin went to the palace to meet Emperor Tai'an with a heart full of resentment and grievance.
Along the way, his face was gloomy, and Baili Changge's arrogant appearance and the humiliation he suffered kept appearing in his mind.
After arriving at the palace, Xiao Ruojin was led by the palace servants to the palace where Emperor Tai'an was.
He saluted respectfully, but his voice was filled with excitement: "Father, your Majesty, your son Xiao Ruojin requests an audience."
Emperor Tai'an raised his eyes slightly and looked at Xiao Ruojin below, and he had already guessed his purpose.
"King Jingyu, what's the rush?"
Xiao Ruojin raised his head, his eyes burning with anger. "Father, I have come here today to report to Your Majesty a great injustice."
"That young master Baili Changge from the Zhenxi Marquisate is really going too far!"
Then, Xiao Ruojin told Emperor Tai'an everything that happened in the school in detail, his words full of grief, indignation and helplessness.
"Father, he took my wife away, killed the servants in the palace, and injured my brother, Prince Langya."
"As the Prince of Jingyu, I hold a high position in the court. How could I have ever suffered such humiliation? Father, you must intervene for me!"
Emperor Tai'an listened quietly, seemed very "surprised", and his face became increasingly gloomy.
Although he wished he could kill Baili Changge and Baili Dongjun right now.
But at this time, he couldn't express his opinion easily.
"I already know this."
"That Baili Changge is indeed outrageous, but this matter needs to be considered carefully." Emperor Tai'an said slowly.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruojin became anxious: "Father, I really can't stand it any longer."
"That Baili Changge is so arrogant. If he is not punished, where will the dignity of the imperial court be in the future?"
"I beg Your Majesty to immediately order the capture of Baili Changge and avenge my shame."
Emperor Tai'an frowned slightly: "Third brother, please be patient for a while."
"We must not rush this matter. The Zhenxi Marquisate is very powerful. If we act rashly, we may cause even greater trouble."
"I have already sent people to investigate the background and purpose of the woman who defeated Old Nine. At this time, we need to calmly observe the reactions of all parties."
"After all, only by getting rid of that old fox Baili Luochen can we truly feel at ease."
Xiao Ruojin was unwilling to accept this, "But Father, are you really going to let Baili Changge go like this? I really can't swallow this."
Emperor Tai'an's eyes were deep: "Third brother, I understand how you feel."
"But we have to proceed with caution at this time."
"The forces at the imperial court are intertwined and complex."
"The appearance of Baili Changge may be an opportunity for us to see the true face of some people."
"Go back and wait patiently for my order."
Xiao Ruojin had no choice but to bow and leave.
After leaving the palace, the anger in his heart was still difficult to calm down.
He secretly vowed to make Baili Changge pay a heavy price.
Emperor Tai'an sat on the dragon throne and fell into deeper thought.
He knew that the storm had just begun.
He began to think about his next move: how to use this opportunity to consolidate his power while also properly dealing with the unstable factor of the Zhenxi Marquisate.
Chapter 190: The assassination is advanced, Baili Changge takes the initiative
a long time.
Emperor Tai'an sat upright on the dragon throne, his face gloomy and dark, as if ink could drip out at any moment.
He raised his eyes slightly, his gaze as sharp as a torch, and said coldly to the outside of the hall: "Send it to the eunuch Zhuoqing."
Soon, the eunuch Zhuoqing came in in a hurry.
When he arrived before Emperor Tai'an, he bowed slightly, then saluted respectfully and said, "Your Majesty."
Emperor Tai'an's eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he asked directly, "How is the assassination plan against Baili Changge going?"
Supervisor Zhuoqing lowered his head slightly, looking cautious, his hands unconsciously clasped in front of him, and replied.
"Your Majesty, the plan is almost complete."
"This old slave has arranged for many experts to lurk in the dark, waiting for the right moment to strike."
Emperor Tai'an frowned, and tapped the armrests of the dragon throne with his fingers, making a rhythmic "tap tap" sound.
After thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Do it in advance."
"That Baili Changge is truly too presumptuous. He dares to undermine the dignity of the royal family. I will never tolerate this."
Supervisor Zhuoqing was slightly startled, thinking in his heart about the possible variables that might arise from planning in advance, but he did not dare to show any hesitation on his face.
He quickly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty. I will arrange it right away."
After saying this, Eunuch Zhuoqing quietly retreated.
Emperor Tai'an sat alone on the dragon throne, with a complex look in his eyes.
He tilted his head back slightly and leaned against the back of the dragon chair.
Emperor Tai'an was well aware of the immense power of the Marquis of Zhenxi's Mansion, and that assassinating Baili Changge would be no easy task. However, in order to maintain the dignity and authority of the royal family, he had to act decisively.
He began to repeatedly deduced various possible situations in his mind, gently stroking his chin with his right hand, thinking about how to deal with the counterattack of the Zhenxi Marquis Mansion if the assassination failed.
