Chapter 780
The emperor didn't answer, but gave the dark guard standing at the bottom of the steps a wink.

The secret guard nodded vaguely, indicating that what Lord Yanling said was similar to what he understood, and then he took a long black cloth bag from a entourage beside him, and carefully handed it to the emperor. Said: "This was found at the scene of the incident, please take a look at it, Your Majesty!"

The emperor gestured for him to open it with his eyes.

The man opened the cloth bag, and what was inside was a scorched scabbard.

Under the burning fire, there was a layer of black ash on it, and the original appearance could not be seen. The hidden guard carefully turned over the scabbard, and exposed a small part of it that had been wiped clean in front of the emperor.

General aristocratic families have the habit of engraving family totems on utensils to show their status.

The totem on the scabbard is a vigorous wolf. The totem is very small and not very conspicuous, but the crescent moon behind the wolf is very eye-catching.

As soon as the emperor's gaze fell upwards, his color suddenly changed.

"This totem has been identified by someone under my command. If it wasn't deliberately faked by someone, it should be—" the hidden guard replied with a respectful attitude and tried his best to be careful. "This should be the unique mark of the former royal guard .”

The scabbard is exquisite in workmanship, and it is obviously not newly built. Many of the carvings on it have been rubbed smooth.

The muscles around the emperor's cheeks twitched. After a long while, he grabbed the black cloth and scabbard and slammed it on Chu Yi'an's feet. He ordered angrily, "Go! Go to the East Palace immediately to arrest Fang. She dares to resist. Shoot or kill!"

"Yes!" The guard responded.

Only now did the emperor look at Chu Yi'an and his daughter fiercely again with still angry eyes, and said, "Explain!"

"It's just a scabbard!" Chu Yi'an said, shaking off his robe, and knelt down upright, with an extremely calm expression on his face, without the slightest panic or concern, and calmly said: "Even if it is really from the past The hand of Chao Miwei may not necessarily have anything to do with Lan You."

No one grabbed Fang's wrist, so the words were groundless, but the emperor wanted to be so suspicious, but there was nothing anyone could do about it.

"What a coincidence, I just sent someone to Xunyang City to look for Wen Po, who gave birth to her back then, and was robbed and killed on the way?" the emperor said, he would not listen to anyone's words at this moment. , "You still insist that it has nothing to do with her? Apart from her, you can tell me, is there a second reason and motivation to do such a thing?"

"Since the father has already identified her, then when she comes, I will ask her personally. I am afraid that what my son said now is all sophistry in your opinion." Chu Yi'an said, and if he argues with the emperor at this time, It was a waste of words.

The emperor's chest rose and fell, and his eyes were fixed on his face.

Chu Xunyang knelt behind Chu Yi'an, also keeping his eyebrows low and saying nothing.

The emperor's heart was in chaos, and countless thoughts were circling endlessly.

Chu Yi'an knew Fang's identity early on, and it was the two of them working together to deceive him.

If the Fang family really harbored evil intentions, would Chu Yi'an really have been clueless for so many years?It didn't fit with what he knew about his son.

But if Chu Yi'an was in collusion with her, then why?Strictly speaking, this possibility is not great.

Is there a problem with Chu Qifeng's life experience?Are they cultivating heirs to stabilize their status?But at that time, Chu Yi'an already had Chu Qihui under his knees, could they make such an unnecessary move?

The more the emperor thought about it, the more confused he became, and when he got there, he began to feel a splitting headache.

"Your Majesty, it's windy outside, why don't you go in first!" Li Ruixiang tried to ask.

The emperor was also very concerned about his body now, and he didn't show off his power. He turned around and walked in with a cold face. He had just walked two steps, but he saw Chu Qifeng rushing over on the imperial road in the distance.

When Chu Xunyang saw him, his heart tightened——

When she and Chu Yi'an entered the palace, it happened that Chu Qifeng was out on errands, and she specially asked someone to block the news from him, just to let him avoid such occasions.

I didn't expect him to come here so soon.

Chu Qifeng came very quickly, because she walked too fast along the way, her breathing was a little uneven.

Seeing Chu Xunyang looking at him, a trace of obvious anger flashed in his eyes, he passed Chu Xunyang directly, and chased after the emperor, saying: "Your Majesty, Qifeng has something to say!"

"Brother——" Chu Xunyang was startled by him, and hurriedly got up to pull him. Unexpectedly, something happened suddenly at this moment. Before he could grab Chu Qifeng's sleeve, someone grabbed him first. Grabbing her wrist, he said in a deep voice, "Little princess, come with me!"

There were quite a few people standing there at that time, but none of them had such precautions.

That man jumped out of several guards that Chu Qifeng hurriedly brought over, grabbed Chu Xunyang, and then touched his waist, and there was a soft sword in his hand, and he was about to break through the crowd and go out without a word rush.

When the emperor turned his head, he couldn't react for a while, and the guards had already swarmed up to stop him.

At this moment, the secret guards who went to the East Palace to arrest Fang Shi also hurried back. Seeing the situation here, they shouted from a distance, "Stop them quickly, Fang Shi refused to enter the palace, killed the guards and escaped!" No, we can't tell them to take away Princess Xunyang!"

Fang resisted arrest?That shows that it is not self-inflicted!
In this way, it is equivalent to voluntarily pleading guilty in front of the emperor.

At this juncture, she didn't forget to blackmail herself?Call someone to take her away?Among the nine palaces, this is simply an impossible task. This is a desperate attempt to point all the evidence at himself.

it is good!very good!

Fang's move is truly amazing!

From now on, as long as she doesn't come forward to clarify, then this matter is a certainty.

Chu Xunyang smiled coldly on his face, but felt relieved in his heart——

At the very least, in this way, Chu Qifeng is safe. Although Fang's behavior made her feel contemptuous and angry, but this time it is the same way, anyway——

What she wanted was nothing but such a result.

Fang's move was unexpected, but it blocked everyone's back at once, forcing everyone to bite the bullet and move forward.

Now the emperor's bodyguards who guard him closely have all been replaced by dark guards.

Although the man hadn't arrived in time, the hidden guards immediately swarmed up to stop him without the emperor's orders.

But the man who had dragged Chu Xunyang earlier wanted to walk in the direction of the imperial garden.
