People in Zongwu: Starting with the Yin Gui Sect

Chapter 236

"Shangguan Haitang, the No. 1 spy of Hulong Villa, has urgent information to ask for an audience with His Majesty. Please let me go, eunuch!"

After a short while, Shangguan Haitang arrived in front of Chengtian Gate and shouted to a eunuch guarding the gate.

"Shangguan Haitang, have you forgotten what time it is now? Even if you really have important information, His Majesty has already gone to bed, so how could he get up to see you!"

The eunuch guarding the gate was very impolite. It was obvious that he had no good impression of Shangguan Haitang or Hulong Villa.

But he was right. He was from the East Factory, and the East Factory had always been at odds with Hulong Villa. Now that Shangguan Haitang came to ask for an audience with His Majesty so late, it would be strange if he could have a good temper.

"Eunuch, it's not that Haitang intentionally disturbed His Majesty's sleep. It's really too big a matter. Haitang dare not delay for half a day."

Shangguan Haitang naturally heard the words of the dead eunuch in front of her, but at this time she had no time to argue with this dead eunuch.

She just wanted to see His Majesty and ask His Majesty to send someone to Hulong Villa. If her adoptive father was really determined to rebel, her elder brother and the others would be in danger.

But the eunuch in front of her was determined to make things difficult for Shangguan Haitang. No matter what she said, he would not let her in.

"You!"

Seeing that she had said it for a long time, the dead eunuch still had no intention of letting her in, Shangguan Haitang was also angry. If she delayed for a moment, her elder brother and the others would be in more danger.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Haitang simply couldn't bear it anymore and rushed in immediately. As for whether she would be punished later, that would be a matter for the future.

However, just as she was about to force her way in, a voice came from inside.

"Shangguan Haitang, right? His Majesty said you can go in, come with us!"

Shangguan Haitang looked up when she heard it. Who else could it be but Fang Zhenghua?

"Thank you, eunuch. Haitang will follow you in now!"

Hearing that there was no need to force her way in, Shangguan Haitang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Zhenghua nodded, and then said to the eunuch who had blocked the way before: "As for you, I don't want to see you again in the future!"

After that, he ignored the eunuch's plea for mercy and took Shangguan Haitang in directly.

And the eunuch who was still kowtowing desperately was soon carried away.

Here, under the leadership of Fang Zhenghua, Shangguan Haitang finally saw Emperor Tianqi leaning on the dragon throne after about a quarter of an hour.

"Tell me, why did you come to see me so late!"

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's question, Shangguan Haitang did not dare to hide anything, and immediately told everything she saw in the secret room of Hulong Villa without any reservation.

Soon as Shangguan Haitang finished speaking, the whole hall suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

After a while, when Shangguan Haitang was about to get angry, Zhu Youxiao said calmly: "I know, you go down!"

"Ah?"

Shangguan Haitang was stunned by the emperor's calm tone, and then looked at Zhu Youxiao in disbelief.

But after realizing that she was being rude, she quickly lowered her head, "Your Majesty, you just said..."

"I said I know, you go down!"

Hearing Zhu Youxiao speak again, Shangguan Haitang finally realized that she had not heard wrong, but the other party's reaction was too calm. This was a rebellion, a major event of killing nine clans, but it was exchanged for such a light sentence.

"Please send someone to Hulong Villa with me to save my elder brother and second brother!"

Although she didn't know why Zhu Youxiao's reaction was so calm, as if she had known it for a long time, she didn't forget that her elder brother and second brother were still in Hulong Villa.

Then, in response to Shangguan Haitang's request, Zhu Youxiao said calmly again: "Don't worry, they are fine!"

After saying that, he asked Fang Zhenghua to take Shangguan Haitang away without waiting for her reaction.

"Eunuch, what does His Majesty mean?"

After leaving the Qianqing Palace, Shangguan Haitang, who was confused, finally couldn't help asking.

"We won't talk about this. You will understand it when you go back."

"This..."

Shangguan Haitang was puzzled again. She couldn't understand why these big shots only said half of what they said. Aren't they tired?

With doubts, Shangguan Haitang finally left the palace obediently, and then returned to the residence of Duan Tianya and Gui Hai Yidao according to the other party's reminder.

"Brother, Yidao, what happened to you?"

Looking at the two intact people, Shangguan Haitang was full of disbelief. She didn't understand how the two people who had clearly decided to die could come back here intact. Could it be that his adoptive father had figured it out?

Seeing Shangguan Haitang's confused face, Duan Tianya sighed first, then slowly explained the reason.

It turned out that it was not that Zhu Wushi had figured it out, but that the two of them were stopped by someone on the way to Hulong Villa..

Just when they thought that this person was sent by Zhu Wushi to intercept them, the person said that His Majesty already knew about Zhu Wushi's conspiracy to rebel.

There were other arrangements for this matter. They were asked to go back to where they came from. If they were worried about being discovered by Zhu Wushi, they could leave the capital. In short, they were asked not to care about anything related to Tiedan Shenhou.

Shangguan Haitang: "..."

She said why His Majesty was so calm after learning that his adoptive father was going to rebel. It turned out that he had been prepared for a long time. The reason why he had not been taken down was that he had other plans.

Only Gui Hai Yidao sighed: "It seems that we have underestimated His Majesty. We have always thought that the eunuch party deceived His Majesty. Now it seems that His Majesty did it intentionally and he saw everything."

Duan Tianya on the side also nodded in agreement.

"Then what should we do now? Since His Majesty has known about this for a long time, he will surely not let my foster father go. And now we cannot notify my foster father to leave. Do we really have to leave the capital as that person said?"

Shangguan Haitang was a little disappointed. She did not expect that the Hulong Villa, which they have always been proud of, is just an ant that can be easily killed in the eyes of His Majesty. Even the intelligence was unilaterally killed by him.

"Now it can only be like this. Even if we don't leave, my foster father will not let us go after knowing this. If we still get involved at this time, then not only my foster father, but also His Majesty will not let us go."

Shangguan Haitang was silent again after hearing this. If she could, she really didn't want to leave, but her foster father had already become the meat on the chopping board of His Majesty, and he would not let him go no matter what. If they still insisted on their obsession, they could do nothing except add three more corpses.

"Or we should go and ask to see His Royal Highness Prince Xin!"

Thinking of the situation when she saw Wu Yu during the day, Shangguan Haitang suddenly flashed a gleam of light.

"It's useless. No one can help when it comes to the throne, even Prince Xin. His Majesty will not let my adoptive father go just because Prince Xin pleads for mercy. Besides, we are not familiar with Prince Xin. Why should he help us?"

Gui Hai Yidao's words were like a basin of cold water that poured cold water over Shangguan Haitang, and she realized that she was indeed too naive.

"Well, since this matter cannot be violated, let's leave at night, otherwise my adoptive father will come to our door tomorrow!"

After hearing Gui Hai Yidao's words, Shangguan Haitang finally gave up completely, and then simply packed up his things and left at night. He was not stopped by the city gate along the way, and it was obvious that the guards had been notified long ago.
