However, because of Wu Wudi’s matter, the two sides were already at odds.The emperor’s sudden visit at this critical juncture showed that he had ill intentions.
But no matter what, the emperor was still the emperor. Since he had come today, he, the Grand Tutor, had to respectfully accompany him. He had to accept his good intentions and could not be dissatisfied at all.
The only thing that made him feel at ease was that this was the Grand Tutor Manor, his absolute home ground.
Even if the emperor was there personally, the situation would not be out of his control.
Xiao Mang gave the butler a look.
The butler immediately understood and left. He began to strengthen the arrangements of all parties to ensure that the situation would not get out of control in the event of any sudden accidents.
The emperor didn’t show any signs of abnormality. Instead, he was exceptionally approachable, giving everyone the feeling that he was sincerely here to congratulate his teacher.
In the eyes of others, this was an honor that they could not ask for.
However, the more this was the case, the more uneasy Xiao Mang felt.
It was only when the bride was about to marry that his uneasiness finally came true.
Just as the bridal sedan entered the door, an incomparably huge sword qi rapidly condensed in the sky. However, the target of the sword qi was not the bride in the sedan but the emperor who was sitting in the VIP seat!
“Assassins! Protect His Majesty!”
Accompanied by a loud roar, the scene instantly went out of control.
A group of imperial guards immediately rushed in from outside the residence. The guards in the residence subconsciously wanted to stop them, but they did not dare to do so.
It was true that this was the private territory of the Grand Tutor Manor, but this concerned the safety of the emperor. If they dared to stop them at this time, they would immediately be punished!
Seeing the Imperial Guards enter, Xiao Mang’s heart skipped a beat.
The situation was out of control.
The Imperial Guards were not under his control. His so-called influence fell like a cliff when it came to the Imperial Guards.
It was impossible for him to control the mouths of these imperial guards after today’s matter.
This was not the worst.
What truly made Xiao Mang’s eyelids twitch was that not only had he followed the emperor’s imperial guards in, but the news had also spread out immediately. In just a few seconds, the entire Imperial Army had been alarmed!
At the same time, an extremely ear-piercing alarm sounded simultaneously, and the entire Ying Jing Prefecture immediately entered a state of alert.
It was true that the assassination of the emperor was a huge matter.
Even if it was just a puppet emperor, it still had a huge symbolic meaning.
Whether it was the mobilization of the Imperial Army or the emergency curfew in the Ying capital, they were all within the process and there was nothing out of the ordinary.
However, Xiao Mang could still smell a conspiracy.
It was simply too fast.
Even though the Imperial Army was well-trained, and even though the other departments had capable people overseeing them, the speed at which they responded was still far beyond the norm.
It gave people the feeling that all of this did not seem to have happened suddenly. Instead, it seemed like they had been informed in advance and were prepared for it.
Xiao Mang subconsciously looked at the emperor.
If he had been a little slower in every step, he would have been able to buy himself some time to react. Even if he could not completely suppress the matter, he could at least make some responses to minimize the adverse effects on him after the incident.
However, from the beginning to the end, he did not have the slightest chance.
The assassin had yet to show his face, but the entire Ying Jing Prefecture had already responded in all directions. When did the efficiency of the Inner Court become so frightening?
At this moment, the emperor, who was involved, did not look panicked at all. Instead, he looked like he was watching a show.
Xiao Mang was so angry that he wanted to laugh.
Was he not even going to act anymore?
“Your Majesty, you don’t seem surprised at all?” Xiao Mang asked tentatively.
The emperor said with a faint smile,” Too many things have happened recently. I can’t even rely on my most respected teacher anymore. At least I have to improve a little and learn to be calm in the face of change. What do you think, teacher?”
His eyes did not hide the joy of revenge.
Xiao Mang felt a chill in his heart.
This was a direct fall out!
Although this was something that would happen sooner or later from the moment he made the deal with the King of Qin, it was still beyond his expectations that it had happened so quickly.
The puppet emperor he knew did not have such decisiveness.
Just as Xiao Mang was about to say something, a wave of exclamations suddenly rang out.
The owner of the sword aura appeared out of thin air.
What was even more surprising was that this person did not hide anything and entered everyone’s sight so openly.
“Lin Yi?”
Xiao Mang’s eyes twitched, and in a flash, he understood the whole situation. He was shocked and angry, pointing at Lin Yi’s nose and cursing.
“What an ambitious thing! His Majesty loves you so much, but not only do you not want to repay His Majesty, but you even openly assassinate him. Who is the mastermind behind this!”
As he spoke, he had already changed his way of thinking.
At this point, it was unrealistic to suppress the entire matter.
He might as well focus all his attention on Lin Yi!
This way, although it would inevitably attract a lot of attention to Lin Yi and go against his previous strategy of suppressing the popularity, as long as the matter was blown up, it was entirely possible to use it against him and completely nail Lin Yi as the traitor assassin.
Xiao Mang sneered at the emperor.
Since you took the risk to fake an assassination, then I’ll let you make it real and turn the fake assassin into a real assassin!
The bigger this matter blew up, the more the emperor couldn’t clean it up. In the end, he might even be forced to abandon the car to save the commander, and even Lin Yi would have to die!
” Your Majesty, I once climbed a tree. Those who play with fire will burn themselves. It seems that Your Majesty still hasn’t listened.”
Xiao Mang sighed regretfully. However, he didn’t hide the joy in his eyes.
From this moment on, he and Tian Zi’s student had completely broken off.
The emperor blinked his eyes. I don’t quite understand what Teacher means.”
Xiao Mang chuckled,” Lin Yi is a good seedling. If he’s trained well in the future, he’ll be a good chess piece for His Majesty. It’s too rash to use him here today. Once the crime of assassinating the emperor is confirmed, no one can protect him.”
“Assassinate the emperor?”
The emperor revealed a strange expression as his smile gradually widened.” Teacher, you might have misunderstood. He’s not here to assassinate me. He’s here to snatch your beautiful new wife.”
“..”
Xiao Mang’s expression froze.
By the time he realized that something was wrong, Lin Yi had already jumped into the bridal sedan under everyone’s screams.
For a moment, everyone did not know what expression to make. The entire place fell into a strange silence.
In the sedan chair.
“Who are you?” Lin Yi lifted Dongfang Yan’s red veil, and their eyes met.
