Chapter 348: Orders

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

When Jiang Yan’s guards rushed into Lin Mengyao’s room, she was drinking tea.

Upon seeing the intruder, Lin Mengyao acted as if she saw nothing.

It wasn’t until Jiang Yan’s guard placed his long sword directly at Lin Mengyao’s neck that she finally looked up at the guard in front of her, “What are you do…?”

“Did you kill the princess?”

Before Lin Mengyao could finish her sentence, the guard interrupted her.

As he spoke, his eyes were full of gloom.

Hearing the guard’s question, Lin Mengyao responded calmly, “Did Jiang

Peihuan tell you this?”

“Just tell me, did you or did you not?”

“It doesn’t matter if 1 tell. Yes, I did kill Jiang Yan.”

Hearing Lin Mengyao’s confession, Jiang Yan’s guard was momentarily stunned. He hadn’t expected her to admit it so directly. However, after recovering from his shock, he gripped his sword, lunging at Lin Mengyao, “I’ll kill you!”

But before the sword could reach Lin Mengyao, he felt his body go limp.

Subsequently, the guard collapsed to the floor.

“You…”

Lying on the ground, the guard looked at Lin Mengyao in shock.

Lin Mengyao met his gaze with a brilliant smile, “Did you know? Jiang Yan was also drugged by me. That’s why I easily plunged the dagger into her heart.”

“Just like now.”

As she spoke, Lin Mengyao picked up the fallen sword, and with her words ending, she thrust the sword directly into the guard’s heart.

The fallen guard, with resentment in his eyes, could do nothing.

After confirming the guard had stopped breathing, Lin Mengyao pulled out the sword and discarded it.

At that moment, the door to Lin Mengyao’s room was pushed open.

Lin Mengyao turned around subconsciously.

Standing at the entrance was none other than Xiao Junhao.

When their eyes met, both of them looked surprised.

Moments later, Lin Mengyao, with a hint of panic in her eyes, stammered, “Your Highness, I…”

“No need to explain, I already know.”

“Yao Er, I won’t blame you.”

“Master?”

Han Feng was outside the door. Hearing Xiao Nanye’s voice, he immediately opened the door and entered.

After a glance, Xiao Nanye said, “Go to the palace and inform my imperial brother about this.”

“By the way, find a way to present the evidence to him.”

“Yes.”

After bowing to Xiao Nanye and Jiang Peihuan, Han Feng left the room.

Watching Han Feng’s retreating figure, Jiang Peihuan looked at the man beside her in confusion, “Why do you want to inform the Emperor?”

“It’s naturally to let imperial brother know that you have nothing to do with this.”

Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan’s eyes showed a hint of a smile.

In the Imperial Palace.

After hearing Han Feng’s words, Emperor Qi Ming said coldly, “Is your master still in the general’s mansion?”

“Yes.”

“You bastard, when your master causes trouble, don’t you know to persuade him?”

Han Feng, who was scolded for no apparent reason,”…”

After a few seconds of silence, Han Feng couldn’t help but say to Emperor Qi Ming, “Your Majesty, do you think my master is someone we can advise?”

“I’m afraid you won’t be able to persuade him.”

“Get out!”

Hearing Han Feng’s words, Emperor Qi Ming was taken aback, and then his eyes filled with anger, he scolded Han Feng.

Han Feng, hearing this, said nothing and ran off.

“Your Majesty, have some water.”

Wang Kun, who was standing nearby, quickly approached, holding a teacup.

Taking the teacup from him, Emperor Qi Ming said irritably, “Truly, like master like servant.”

Wang Kun didn’t know how to respond.

Emperor Qi Ming finished the tea in the cup and then resumed reviewing the memorials.

But an hour later, Emperor Qi Ming fell asleep on the table.

Seeing this, Wang Kun was a little surprised but said nothing. He covered the Emperor with a cloak.

In the subsequent days, Emperor Qi Ming often fell asleep suddenly, and for increasingly longer durations.

Qianqing Palace.

“How is it? Is there something wrong with my body?”
