The most romantic little emperor

Chapter 363: Arrest at Night

Qin Hao couldn't help but speculate in his heart. His thoughts were like a tangled mess, entangled and difficult to untie.

At this moment, he even had a strong urge in his heart. He wanted to give orders directly, mobilize the army, wipe out the Su family and completely eliminate this potential threat.

However, he managed to suppress this impulse.

First, there is a lack of solid evidence, and if one acts rashly based on some one-sided words and trivial matters, it will inevitably cause an uproar in the court and may even trigger a coup.

Secondly, if they want to touch the Su family, they have to eliminate all of its cronies and confidants at the same time, otherwise it will only alert the enemy. Once they are forced into a desperate situation, I am afraid that the father and son of the Su family will directly rebel. They have the strength to do so.

The mysterious Buddha and the Nine Thousand Years Old Man were still a mystery in Qin Hao's mind. If he didn't find out the truth about these two people, he would never be at peace.

At this moment, Qin Hao's mind was in a mess, with many thoughts intertwined together, like a tangled mess that was difficult to sort out. He felt as if there was an invisible big hand controlling everything behind the scenes, and he himself was like a clown who was kept in the dark and knew nothing about the truth.

And the clues about Lord Buddha and Jiu Qiansui were also scattered, like scattered pearls, difficult to string together.

This feeling made Qin Hao feel depressed and uncomfortable. He knew that he couldn't just sit there and wait for death, but he couldn't find a direction for a while.

Just when he was at a loss, Wang Yourong came slowly, like a blooming lotus, with light steps. Her clear eyes were full of concern and love for Qin Hao.

When she saw Qin Hao's tired and haggard face, her heart was beating as if she was deeply touched by something.

She walked gently to Qin Hao's side, her voice as gentle as a spring breeze: "Your Majesty, it's late at night. If you continue to work so hard, your body will not be able to bear it. Otherwise, you should take a rest first, get enough energy, and then deal with those troubles."

Qin Hao's mind was in a mess at the moment, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.

However, seeing Wang Yourong's face full of worry, he couldn't bear to let her continue to worry, so he forced a smile and said softly: "Rong'er, look at you, aren't you still worried about me? There are dark circles under your eyes. You should go back to the palace to rest first. I will take a rest in the imperial study later."

Wang Yourong felt even more distressed when she heard him say this. She gently took Qin Hao's hand and led him to the bed. She gently embraced him like an older sister and whispered, "Your Majesty, please sleep peacefully. I am here with you."

Qin Hao lay in Wang Yourong's arms, feeling her warmth and care. He suddenly felt tired and closed his eyes. Not long after, he fell into a deep sleep.

However, before he could sleep for half an hour, A Yue pushed the door open quietly like a shadow in the night. Although her voice was very low, the slight noise woke Qin Hao up instantly.

When Wang Yourong saw that A Yue had disturbed Qin Hao's rest, a hint of resentment flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she glared at A Yue lightly.

Ah Yue smiled awkwardly, then walked gently to Qin Hao and whispered softly, "Your Majesty, tonight, two groups of people quietly entered my father's bedroom. I placed the fake will in it as you instructed. One of them just glanced at it and put it back. The other one took it away. I have sent someone to follow them secretly and monitor their every move."

"Oh?"

Qin Hao raised his lips in a calm arc and asked calmly, "Who are the people who stole the will? Have the people behind them shown up?"

Ah Yue said cautiously, "Your Majesty, those who stole the edict were just insignificant minor characters. The real mastermind is still hiding. However, I have learned from people below that the second group of people have left the palace with the fake edict and are now heading to the residence of Wen Tai, the Minister of War. They have been in there for some time, but have not come out yet."

Qin Hao's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said coldly: "Humph, this Wen Tai is quite resourceful, he was able to take things out of the palace without anyone noticing. I'm curious, how did he do it?"

Ah Yue's voice came softly like a whisper in the night wind: "Your Majesty, someone is secretly helping us. Those suspicious people have been closely watched by our spies. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, none of these people can escape."

"Now, should we immediately send someone to arrest Minister Wen and conduct an in-depth interrogation of him?"

Qin Hao shook his head slightly, a trace of helplessness and deepness flashed in his eyes: "Let's just leave it at that. I guess, even if we really arrest Wen Tai, he will definitely make excuses. What's more, he may have destroyed the fake will without a trace."

Ah Yue looked confused. She looked at Qin Hao puzzledly and asked, "Your Majesty, are we going to let him go so easily? Are we going to let him get away with it?"

Qin Hao tilted his head slightly, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, but his voice sounded unusually calm: "Wen Tai? Humph, he is just a clown beside the big fish Su Zhengfang. No matter how much he jumps around, he can't cause any waves. Let his head stay for a few more days. When I find evidence of the Su family's crimes, I will root them out and not let any of them go!"

"Yue'er, we have people secretly observing Wentai's movements. It will be dawn soon. You have been busy all day. Come to bed and take a rest together. We have many things waiting for us to deal with tomorrow."

A Yue did not refuse, and the three of them lay down together, without taking off their clothes, and slept in each other's arms. After a while, they fell asleep.

The next morning, the sky was just beginning to turn pale.

Luo Yang, the chief guard of the Imperial Guard, was already waiting outside the door. He woke Qin Hao up with a gentle voice. As expected, there was already a reply from Old Feng.

The letter read: "The assassin's base camp is hidden deep in the mountains. It is heavily guarded, like an iron barrel. Your Majesty, please send more troops to round him up with all your strength, so as to catch him in one fell swoop and leave no future troubles."

After reading the letter, Qin Hao lost all sleepiness. He immediately picked up the pen and wrote a handwritten letter, ordering Luo Yang to take the letter to find General Wang Jian and mobilize the soldiers of the Left Camp hidden in a mountain outside the capital to come to support as soon as possible.
