Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 1738

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 righteous. 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.
