Emperor Hou Yi had a few brave warriors—Grandmaster Erlang ranked first, and E Lai was in second place.
However, the latter rarely intervened in political affairs. Instead, he was placed by Chang Er’s side to protect her.
He was Chang Er’s bodyguard.
Even though E Lai looked fierce, he was a caring person. He knew that Chang Er and Emperor Hou Yi loved each
other very much, and the Empress would never cheat on Emperor Hou Yi. Therefore, he could not take it that Yang
Jian questioned Chang Er so ruthlessly in public.
E Lai was the only person in North Moana who would dare to challenge Yang Jian.
He stared at Yang Jian as he bellowed, “How could you conclude that Lady Chang Er was dating Zhu Bajie with only
these few words? Yang Jian, you are too arrogant. Don’t simply slander Lady Chang Er if you don’t have any
evidence!”
Sigh!
Yang Jian snorted at E Lai’s comment; his handsome figure remained upright. He said lightly, “I have always been
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtrighteous. We’re investigating what caused the Emperor’s sudden death, so don’t you blabber away!”
That was true—Yang Jian was a righteous man; he could not tolerate any unjustifiable matter.
Emperor Hou Yi treated Yang Jian very well, so he was terribly sad about the Emperor’s sudden death. Yang Jian
could not accept the fact that the Emperor had passed away, so he secretly vowed that he would track the
murderer no matter the consequences. Even if Chang Er were the suspect, he must investigate the issue
thoroughly.
“Righteous?”
E Lai was stunned for a moment before he sneered, “Don’t act innocent, Yang Jian. Everyone knows that you are
the most powerful after the Emperor. Now, tell me, did you engrave these words to frame the Empress?”
E Lai got bolder as he snarled, “You blamed the Empress to frame her so that no one could control you in North
Moana. Then, you could ascend the throne and take the Emperor’s place, right? I suspect that you’re the one who
killed His Majesty. This must be your conspiracy—”
Chang Er did not say anything. She bit her lips tightly as she shook in anger.
She also had the same thoughts.
Yang Jian enjoyed a respectable position in the Royal Palace, so if Emperor Hou Yi died, he would be the most
powerful candidate to be the next Emperor. Therefore, he might have harmed Emperor Hou Yi and then framed
Chang Er. That was something very likely to happen.
However, even though Yang Jian was aloof, he was loyal to Emperor Hou Yi. Why would he do that?
If it were not Yang Jian, then who could have been the real murderer?
“Nonsense!”
Yang Jianjian frowned. He was furious; he looked at E Lai coldly. “His Majesty had been very kind to me; why would I
harm him? Don’t you blame me!”
E Lai laughed as anger rose in his heart. “Yang Jian, did you say I blame you for this? Then what about you
slandering Lady Chang Er with Zhu Bajie?”
The man stood in front of Chang Er as he said, “No matter what you do today, don’t you dare hurt Lady Chang Er
unless you step over my dead body first.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHis tone was unquestionable.
Phew!
Yang Jian took a deep breath, but he did not say anything else. He pointed to the words on the jade platform and
said, “You asked me for evidence; here they are. E Lai, you may say that I engraved these words or I slandered the
Empress, but Lady Chang Er must give us an explanation today!”
Yang Jian looked firm when he said that!
Suddenly everyone looked at Chang Er.
“Yang Jian!”
Chang Er bit her lips so hard that they almost bled. She said, “Well, since you want to do this, then I’ll do as you
said.”
Chang Er looked around the room. “I have nothing to do with Zhu Bajie. I have not seen him since he escaped from
the palace!”
She glanced at Yang Jian. “Are you satisfied now?” She sounded calm, but a fit of uncontrollable anger continued to
brew.
Yang Jian insisted on giving Chang Er a hard time in public—he was simply despicable.
