Chapter 960: Chapter 965: Death News

In the Imperial Palace.

When Qin Yi learned of Su Pan’er’s danger, he could hardly believe his own eyes!

He burst into a furious rage!

He sent the dragon desk crashing with a thunderous bang.

"No! Impossible, this must be false, how could Pan’er be in trouble... Investigate! Go immediately and thoroughly investigate for me. Search heaven and earth, even if it means turning Huainan Prefecture upside down, Pan’er must be found for me!"

The group of officials below secretly exchanged glances with one another, then each bowed their heads, not daring to lightly provoke the emperor’s wrath.

Bang!

Qin Yi’s hand turned the dragon desk into two halves, with wooden splinters flying everywhere. This was a dragon desk made of redwood, and it had unexpectedly been smashed to pieces with just a strike! It scared these old ministers so much that they fell to the ground and dared not speak further.

"What, so you no longer listen to my words? Huh!"

"We are trembling with fear!"

"Trembling with fear? Even I can’t command you anymore, looking at it, I am the one who should be afraid."

The group of old ministers buried their heads even lower but still, no one stepped forward to take initiative.

"Good!"

Qin Yi laughed bitterly in extreme anger, repeatedly nodding his head, "Very good, very good indeed! Since you are all too cowardly, fine! I’ll go find her myself!"

With that, he charged directly out of the grand hall, heading to Huainan Prefecture.

"Your Majesty must absolutely not!"

Finally, that group of old ministers stood up to obstruct him, "Your Majesty is the true dragon, the Son of Heaven, with a body of utmost preciousness. How could you personally risk danger by going to Huainan Prefecture? Absolutely not!"

Ye Han received the news and hurried over, only to see Qin Yi, whose eyes were inflamed with rage.

And that group of ministers desperately blocking him.

"Your Majesty!"

Ye Han knelt on one knee, causing the anger in Qin Yi’s heart to gradually subside.

"Weren’t you organizing the Imperial Guard’s herd? How did you find the time to come here?"

Qin Yi asked coldly.

Seeing that Ye Han had taken up the situation, the ministers each discreetly slipped away.

Ye Han took the initiative to stand out, "Right now, the Empress is in trouble, and it’s not just your worry, Your Majesty, but the ministers present are also deeply concerned, wishing they could relieve you of this worry. However, the search for the Empress should be left to us. Your Majesty absolutely should not put yourself into danger and fall into some people’s sinister schemes!"

Su Pan’er had gone missing, and a knife wound was discovered on her chest in Huainan Prefecture—the most suspicious person was undoubtedly Qin Hong, the governor of Huainan Prefecture!

In the beginning, His Majesty and Qin Hong had secretly agreed that whoever first took control of Shengjing would ascend the throne.

When Qin Yi led his herd into Shengjing successfully, Qin Hong’s forces also arrived at Dongjing (not that Dongjing), a mere step away from Shengjing!

It was just this slight difference that made Qin Hong miss the opportunity. Coupled with the increasingly high acclaim for Qin Yi among the commoners, Qin Hong, who had already lost his advantage, and his unwilling forces were bound to cause trouble. In the end, they encountered a strong counterattack from Qin’s forces. After all, Qin’s army was formidable and popularly supported, and Qin Hong’s forces were outmatched and forced to retreat from Dongjing, moving south along the Canal back to Huainan Prefecture.

Upon hearing the news about Su Pan’er in Huainan Prefecture, Ye Han and Qin Yi thought alike—the first suspect that came to mind was Qin Hong!

"Qin Hong is ruthless and does not choose means; if Pan’er falls into his hands, I’m afraid she won’t avoid suffering. I can’t be at ease; I must make this trip myself."

Qin Yi had already made up his mind.

Ye Han considered for a moment and unexpectedly nodded in agreement.

"Good! If you insist on going, then I’ll go pack your luggage. Just wait for me a moment."

Speaking of which, he really started walking towards the palace.

This kind of abnormal behavior from Ye Han instead made Qin Yi somewhat unable to understand.

"You can leave behind this magnificent land, leave behind these brothers who have been through life and death with you, leave behind your original ideals, to take such a risk with your own life. I, Ye Han, only have one worthless life, what else can’t I leave behind?"

"Brother Ye!"

Qin Yi painfully let out a low shout.

Ye Han didn’t shrink back in the slightest, "Aren’t you going to look for Pan’er yourself? Why are you still standing there stupefied? Hurry up, while the city gates are still open, we can leave right now!"

As he spoke, he even started to pack Qin Yi’s luggage personally.

"Brother Ye!"

Qin Yi let out a pained roar!

Suddenly, he punched a nearby pillar, slowly squatting down, his shoulders trembling continuously.

Ye Han stopped what he was doing, walked over to Qin Yi, and sat down slowly, his eyes gazing at some point in the void.

"The Empress ... she was a good woman. Although she met with trouble, she left you with two children. I have already sent people to investigate. After the Empress disappeared, the two children were still safe; someone has already brought the two princesses to Shengjing. They should arrive soon. Their blood carries the blood of the Empress—do you really have the heart to leave them behind?"

Qin Yi sat on the ground and wept bitterly.

Ye Han said no more; he just gazed blankly into space.

Even at this moment, he envied Qin Yi, envied the bond he had with Su Pan’er in this lifetime, envied him for having two adorable little girls, and even more envied that he could still cry out loud and shed tears freely at this time.

Unlike himself, who, even with tears, could only swallow them silently, not daring to show the slightest trace of them.

"Pan’er, my Pan’er, Pan’er..."

Qin Yi cried as if his heart was torn apart, tears falling like a downpour. Where was his emperor’s bearing now?

All the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace had been dismissed by Ye Han, so there were no outsiders to see Qin Yi’s heartfelt sorrow; only Ye Han looked up at the sky.

How could the heavens be so unjust!

Good people always die young, while misfortune lingers for a thousand years.

That very night, the news that the Empress, who had not yet ascended to the imperial throne, had been assassinated and fell into the river to her death, quickly spread.

Different homes have different emotions of joy and sorrow!

With the affairs of the court, and the news of the Empress’s assassination and death spreading, immediately, the ministers in the court began to play their own games.

Especially those with daughters of a suitable age and exceptional beauty, all of them made great efforts, resorting to their connections, giving generous gifts, trying to send their daughters to the palace.

And the women in the palace were even more overjoyed! They all felt that their opportunity had come!

They not only had their own calculations but also frequently made covert moves.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty had no interest in those. Every day, apart from focusing on handling court affairs, he would hide in the palace and refused to come out.

He turned a blind eye to the beauty before him.

As days passed by, the day of His Majesty’s ascension to the throne was getting closer, and the court was nearly ready for the preparation. Even Little Yan Yan and Little Sugar Bean were successfully brought to the capital under the protection of Lui Muyi and Prince Wei.

As soon as Little Yan Yan saw her father, she couldn’t hold back her tears any longer and they started falling.

With a flying leap, she threw herself into Qin Yi’s arms and cried out loud!

"Father, woo woo woo, Mother, Mother... she’s dead... woo woo woo, everything is gone, I won’t see my sister anymore..."
