When Lin Chujiu left Xiao w.a.n.gfu, the palace gate hadn"t been locked, but when she arrived at the palace, the palace gate was about to get close.
“Wait a minute… …” Lin Chujiu rushed forward but still failed to catch up. She could only watch the palace guards pushed the door closed and blocked her way… …
“Can"t you wait for a minute or two? I want to go to the palace and ask forgiveness to the emperor for my sin." Lin Chujiu said. But just like last time, the palace guards didn"t hesitate to refuse her. Lin Chujiu could only sigh and turned around to get on the carriage.
The palace guards thought that Lin Chujiu, who went inside the carriage will leave, but the carriage didn"t move to leave at all. The carriage parked in front of the palace gate.
“What does Xiao w.a.n.gfei mean by doing this? She doesn"t want to leave?"
“I don’t think she"s thinking that we will open the gate if she waits here, does she?"
“Is Xiao w.a.n.gfei thinking we will open the gate if she wanted us to open it? Even if she waited for the whole night, the palace gate will not open."
The palace guards didn"t dare to open the palace gate, but they send people immediately to let the emperor know of this event and let the emperor decide what to do.

Commander Li, who just came out of Xiao w.a.n.gfu, reported everything that happened. He didn"t dare to hide a single thing.
Learning that Lin Chujiu didn"t even hesitate to kill his men after searching the whole Xiao w.a.n.gfu, the emperor wanted to people in anger.
“Well, well, Lin Chujiu"s courage is getting bigger and bigger. She dared to kill zhen"s people." The dog depends on its master. The imperial guards were the emperor"s confidant. Lin Chujiu killed his imperial guards in public, which simply a slap on his face.
“This subordinate is incompetent, I didn"t stop Xiao w.a.n.gfei, please punish this lowly one, huangshang." When Commander Li saw that the emperor was very dissatisfied with Lin Chujiu, he didn"t hesitate to drag her down further to lessen his mistakes.
“You really should be punished! As the commander of imperial guards, you didn"t even try to beat Xiao w.a.n.gfu"s guards. You just watch your men die in front of you. Tell me, what is the use of keeping you?" The emperor was angry with Lin Chujiu"s arrogance, but what anger him most was that his people were incompetent.
Even if they tried to fight back, they will still be killed by Xiao w.a.n.gfu"s guardsmen, right?
“This lowly one should die. Huangshang, please let this lowly one redeem himself." Commander Li was afraid to die. There was no doubt about it. If he was not afraid, will he let his men lead the other imperial guards to search Xiao w.a.n.gfu, instead of doing it himself? He would rather push others to their death.
“Redeem yourself? How will you redeem yourself?" The emperor doesn"t want to use Commander Li for the time being. But seeing Commander Li volunteering himself, the emperor wanted to give him a chance.
It"s not like Commander Li was not doing a good job. It"s just he was new to this job. Just like the new leader of the spy. He was not as good as the previous one.
“In five days, this lowly one will find the a.s.sa.s.sin who tried to a.s.sa.s.sinate the princess." Commander Li said while gritting his teeth.
The people were not in Xiao w.a.n.gfu. He only needs to turn the capital upside down to find that a.s.sa.s.sin.
Five days were enough for him to search all over the capital. Not to mention, the northern people will help him.
“Five days? Good… I will give you five more days.” Hearing Commander Li"s words, the emperor finally showed a satisfied expression on his face.
After finding the a.s.sa.s.sin, Xiao w.a.n.gfu could no longer deny their connection with this event.
“This subordinate will follow his highness order. Long live the emperor." When Commander Li successfully bought himself five more days to complete the task, he released a deep sigh of relief.
After settling the matter, Commander Li bowed his head and left. Just as he was about to leave, a eunuch came to report that Xiao w.a.n.gfei came to the palace to plead guilty.
