Chapter 178: Coming for the Emperor's Order and Will
After hearing Mo Yan's reminder, Bai Qi remembered.
"But didn't the master forbid me to chase last night?"
How come we have found that person’s whereabouts now?
Mo Yan glared at him and said, "If I let you chase him, how can you find his lair?"
Bai Qi was slightly confused, then he reacted and snorted coldly.
"How do you know I can't catch anyone? Don't underestimate me."
Mo Yan glanced at her and ignored her.
Seeing that Mo Yan ignored him, Bai Qi turned his gaze away and ignored her, turning to look at Di Ran.
"Master, have you found out who the assassin is?"
Emperor Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "The secret guards reported that the man entered the house last night and never left. This morning at the hour of Yin, two black riders from the cabinet entered the house and left in about half an incense stick of time."
Bai Qi was surprised: "The Black Knights of the Cabinet?"
How is it related to people in the cabinet?
Mo Yan frowned slightly and looked at Di Ran sideways: "Master, could it be that you mean..."
Di Ran's eyes were cold and he took something out of his sleeve and placed it on the table.
"This is from the guy from last night. It must have been dropped accidentally during the fight."
"This is……"
Mo Yan picked it up and looked through it.
The object in his hand looked like a token, completely black with golden patterns carved on both sides.
There is a flying eagle carved on the front of the token, and on the top is a golden dragon with bared fangs and claws, suppressing the eagle tightly, symbolizing the control of power.
Turning to the back, there are two gold-plated words "Cabinet" and next to it is the time when the token was made.
When Mo Yan saw the words on the back, his eyes widened in shock.
"Is this the cabinet badge?!"
"Really? Let me see."
Bai Qi snatched the badge from Mo Yan's hand, took a closer look, and was equally surprised.
“This is… true!”
"I remember that our master was assassinated many times when he was in Youyun. Those people had this kind of badge on their bodies, but the images were different." After hearing Bai Qi's reminder, Mo Yan also remembered it.
"Yes, those people are also the Cabinet's Black Knights, but the front of their badges is engraved with a flying eagle catching a snake, and this one..."
Mo Yan's eyes fell on the dragon-suppressing flying eagle pattern on the front of the waist badge and frowned.
"The workmanship is more delicate and smooth than the previous ones, and it is also engraved with a dragon and an eagle. It can be seen that the person who carries this waist badge is of extraordinary status, and perhaps has a high position in the cabinet."
"Mo Yan's words make sense. Dragons are used by the royal family. It is a capital crime for ordinary people to use them. Besides, the cabinet is not like other things. There are not many people who can mobilize the cabinet."
Di Ran narrowed his deep eyes: "It seems that person will not give up until he achieves his goal."
Hearing this, Bai Qi was slightly stunned: "Master, do you know who it is?"
Mo Yan frowned slightly, having a vague guess in his mind, but he didn't say it out loud.
"It's the Empress."
Di Yi's cold voice came from behind.
After these words were spoken, Bai Qi and Mo Yan were shocked.
Is it really her?
Bai Qi was shocked and angry: "Damn it! What on earth does this empress want to do?"
When the master was in his fiefdom, he often caused trouble, either assassinating people or searching the mansion for trouble, and no one knew what he was looking for.
It happens every time, it's so annoying!
There was a cold light in Di Ran's deep eyes, and his fair lips were slightly raised in a mocking arc.
"She came for the imperial decree and the will."
"what?"
When these words were spoken, the other three were stunned.
Imperial order?
Will?
Di Ran's eyes were indifferent, and his tone was calm: "Bai Qi and Mo Yan have only been with me for a short time, so they don't know about this."
"The late emperor's preferred heir was not the current empress. Originally, the late emperor had favored the third and seventh princesses."
Bai Qi's eyes widened in shock: "The Third Princess?! Isn't that the current War King?"
