Chapter 210

"Ah? His Majesty is looking for me?" Hearing Lu Xiaofeng's words, Li Lianhua was stunned.

What business could Zhu Houzhao have with him at this time?

However, after pondering for a moment, Li Lianhua did not intend to refuse. Instead, he told Wen Hua the location of the Lotus Building: "You go to the Lotus Building and wait for me!"

"Understood, Divine Doctor Li!" Upon hearing this, Wen Hua nodded, then immediately left the imperial palace with Yan Shisan and headed in the direction of the Lotus Building!

Before long, Li Lianhua followed Lu Xiaofeng and arrived before the Emperor, Zhu Houzhao.

This was a side hall. Despite the assassination attempt by Ye Gucheng just moments ago, there was no one here to provide protection.

There was only the Emperor and an old eunuch who looked thin and gaunt!

Seeing this old eunuch, Li Lianhua immediately thought of Ye Gucheng's corpse from earlier. It seemed that Ye Gucheng had died at the hands of this old eunuch.

Therefore, having his protection alone was better than having an army of thousands!

"Commoner Li Lianhua pays respects to Your Majesty!"

Whatever thoughts were in his mind, Li Lianhua did not show them on the surface and bowed to the Emperor!

"Divine Doctor Li, no need for formalities!" Zhu Houzhao raised his hand and said with a gentle expression, showing no trace of the rage one would expect after having just been assassinated!

Thus, although he looked young, as an Emperor, he still possessed deep cunning!

"Divine Doctor Li, I heard from Lu Xiaofeng earlier that you are intimately familiar with many secrets of the Jiang Hu?"

"It is precisely because of you that Lu Xiaofeng was able to know that the mastermind behind the counterfeit currency case was actually Luo Ma!"

"Today, I invited Divine Doctor Li here because I have a matter to inquire about!"

Without any intention of wasting words, after the greetings, Zhu Houzhao stated his purpose directly to Li Lianhua!

"Knowing everything under heaven is impossible, but this commoner does indeed know a little more than the average person!"

"I wonder, what does Your Majesty wish to inquire about?"

"Whatever this commoner knows, I will certainly not conceal!"

Li Lianhua spoke, not caring what Zhu Houzhao wanted to ask him; at the very least, he had to maintain the right attitude!

Zhu Houzhao was clearly very satisfied with Li Lianhua's attitude. He nodded slightly and continued: "Tonight, Ye Gucheng used a 'luring the tiger away from the mountain' tactic to assassinate me. Divine Doctor Li is already aware of this matter!"

"However, regarding his assassination attempt, I am certain there must be other masterminds behind the scenes!"

"It is just a pity that Ye Gucheng committed suicide, and no living captive could be left behind!"

"Therefore, I am asking you, Divine Doctor Li, do you have any clues?"

Asking me about the person behind Ye Gucheng?

Zhu Houzhao's words made Li Lianhua pause. How did he conclude that he would know the mastermind?

To be honest, Li Lianhua had some guesses in his heart about who the mastermind behind Ye Gucheng was.

But those were only guesses after all; he had no evidence right now!

"How about it, Divine Doctor Li? If you know any clues, please inform me!" Seeing Li Lianhua pondering without speaking, Zhu Houzhao followed up with a question!

Having said this, Zhu Houzhao paused slightly and added: "Of course, if Divine Doctor Li truly does not know, then consider it as if I never asked this question, and I will not make things difficult for you!"

Lu Xiaofeng, standing to the side, also looked at Li Lianhua with curiosity!

He had chatted with him twice about the unreasonable aspects of Ye Gucheng's assassination attempt.

So, did he really have clues about the mastermind?

Rationally, Lu Xiaofeng felt it was impossible for him to know; how could such a secret be known by others?

However, thinking about how Li Lianhua had casually told him that Luo Ma was the mastermind behind the counterfeit currency case!

If Li Lianhua could know about that, was it not possible he could know this too?

Not to mention what Lu Xiaofeng and Zhu Houzhao were thinking.

Hearing Zhu Houzhao continue to press him, Li Lianhua looked at Zhu Houzhao and said: "As for who the mastermind is, I cannot produce evidence right now!"

These words made Zhu Houzhao raise his eyebrows, his eyes lighting up: "So, Divine Doctor Li, does this mean you already have a suspect in mind?"

"And, if you cannot produce evidence now, does that mean you will be able to produce evidence in the future?"

"Your Majesty, if you want to produce evidence, it is actually very simple. You only need to ask Ye Gucheng himself!" Li Lianhua said with an air of matter-of-factness!

"Li Lianhua..."
