Chapter 274: Return to the imperial capital, Shangguan Yaqing

"What are they here for!" Emperor Xue Ye looked slightly cold.

"These noble lords came for the killing of the head of the Stephen family!" The knight leader replied.

The emperor Xue Ye frowned slightly when he heard the words. Although it is not certain who killed the patriarch of the Stephen family, his son was killed by Chu and Qin Zhu!

Therefore, Emperor Xueye speculated that most of this incident was done by Chu and Qin.

Emperor Xue Ye was in a dilemma. He knew the power of Chu and Qin, and the latter was his son-in-law. However, the Eight Great Families are the greatest powers in the Tiandou Empire. The system of the Tiandou Empire is a bit like a system of enfeoffment. These princes all have soldiers and horses in their hands. If they are rashly offended, it will not work!

In other words, the imperial power of the Tiandou Empire is not highly concentrated, with the kingdom of the duchy on the outside, the princes on the inside, and the country of China!

The Heaven Dou Empire is not like the Star Luo Empire at all, the emperor is an absolute existence! This is also the main reason why the Heaven Dou Empire will be divided later.

"Li An, where is Wang Jue?" Emperor Xue Ye looked at the knight leader.

"Back to your Majesty, according to the news from the head of Rogerson, Wang Jue is crowned, and he is expected to arrive in the imperial capital tomorrow!" Li An replied.

"Where is Qinghe?" Xue Ye continued to ask.

"His Royal Highness is still sick!" Li An replied.

"Why is Qinghe so weak these days?" Xue Ye sighed, "How can I trust him to give the foundation to him!"

"Your Majesty, do you want to see His Royal Highness?" Li An asked.

"No! There is no reason for the emperor to see the prince!" Xue Ye shook his head.

"Go and tell the dukes, it's too late and I'm tired. Let them stay in the hotel first and come back tomorrow" Xue Ye replied, "Remember, it's good to be entertained!"

"Yes!" Ang Lee can take the order to exit!

"Huh! Eight big families should die too!" After Li An left, Emperor Xue Ye's gaze burst into a fierce look!

In the early morning of the next day, the Rogerson Knights, the women's knights, surrounded by the luxurious large carriages of Chu and Qin, came to the outside of the imperial capital.

"I'm home, I'm home!" Xue Ke raised the carriage curtain and looked outside, looking extremely excited.

"Yes, yes! Every time I return to the Heaven Dou Empire from the outside, it makes me feel comfortable and comfortable!" Ning Rongrong followed with a smile.

Chu Qin smiled indifferently, and patted at the same time Ning Rongrong and Xue Ke's cocked hips.

However, Ning Rongrong and Xue Ke didn't care about Chu Qin at all, they were still breathing the air outside!

"Call!"

At this moment, the carriage stopped abruptly, and Xue Ke and Ning Rongrong almost overturned. Fortunately, they were hugged by Chu Qin in time. The latter smiled lightly, "Well, did I say it was dangerous?"

Immediately afterwards, Chu Qin looked outside and shouted, "Rogerson, what's the matter?"

"Qin Chu Qin Mian Ma, it is Li Ang, the palace guard next to his Majesty! He was ordered by his Majesty, please Wang Jue Mian you to go to Tiandou Palace as soon as possible!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue and Chu Qin were shocked.

"Chu Qin, shouldn't it be that you killed Patriarch Stephen, right?" Su Jin said with a worried face.

"I don't know! But, Jin'er, you don't have to worry about me even about this!" Chu Qin smiled back.

"Zi Ji Erlong, Xue'er and I, Ke'er are going to the Heaven Dou Palace, you take Jin'er and the others, first go back to Qinglong Academy!" Chu Qin turned to Zi Ji and said.

"Good!" Zi Ji and Liu Erlong nodded at the same time.

In the royal study room!

Here, a group of dukes and marquis came. The three headed by them were dressed in gorgeous robes, two men and one woman.

Both men are elderly men! It was Sima Yulong, the patriarch of the Sima family, and Oslo, the patriarch of the Oslo family.

And that woman, who seems to be only 30 or 40 years old, looks very beautiful!

The woman's facial features are extremely beautiful. The goose-egg-like face is a slightly raised nose, a pair of clear and luminous Danfeng eyes, and a small cherry-like red lips together form a beautiful face.

She wore a gorgeous long dress with carved phoenix and countless gold and silver jewelry on her head. Her chest was half open, revealing a deep gully. The lower body was a long dress similar to a cheongsam, with both sides open. Two tall and slender black silk long legs can be clearly seen, and below, there are still gilded cool high-heeled boots.

The brightly painted nails and the insteps without any blemishes make one's eyes a little inevitable.

She is the head of the eight families, Shangguan Yaqing, the patriarch of the Shangguan family!

"Your Majesty, please call the shots for us!" At this moment, Oslo looked at Emperor Xueye and said, "The head of the Stephen family, Duke Stephen, died in Tianshui City!"

"Dead by fate?" Xue Ye pretended to be ignorant, and said, "Find out who did it?"

"Your Majesty, the murderer was not found, not even Duke Stephen's body! However, at the same time Duke Stephen died, his son was..." Sima Yulong said.

"What's the matter?" Emperor Xue Ye still deliberately asked.

"I was killed by the Azure Dragon King, directly!" Sima Yulong continued.

"I heard that Stephen Lin, the lord of Tianshui City, did nothing in his term. Besides, he wanted to indecent assault on the dean of Tianshui College, a wife of the King of Chu and Qin. Isn't it normal to kill him?"

"Your Majesty, Stephen Lin is guilty of death, but Duke Stephen is innocent. Is it a bit too much to kill the Lord Wang?" Shangguan Yaqing smiled lightly.

"If the king did it, it would be too much! But, Duke Shangguan, you also said that the murderer who killed Duke Stephen was not found!" Xue Ye replied.

"Your Majesty. Stephen Lin offended the Crown Prince. Duke Stephen just died in Tianshui City. Is this a coincidence?" Oslow asked.

"Why can't it be a coincidence?" Xue Ye smiled indifferently, "You must pay attention to evidence for everything. For no reason, you suspect that the noble and supreme king of my Heaven Dou Empire is a bit too much!"

"Your Majesty, Qinglong King is your son-in-law, are you partial to the King?" a Marquis of the Stephen family asked.

"What did you say!" Xue Ye immediately glanced at the Marquis coldly!

The Marquis immediately knelt down when he heard the words, "Your Majesty calmed down! Duke Stephen, my clan brother, the minister is also a little worried!"

"Your majesty calm down!" Duke Oslo said, "Duke Stephen is the vice president of our eight-family federation. He has an accident. It is a great loss to our eight-family family. We all want to be in front of your majesty for him. Please be fair!"
