After Eunuch Yu and the others helped me get dressed and freshen up, they took me out of Fangcaotang, and a rattan sedan was actually arranged to pick me up along the way.

As a suspect who has been under house arrest for three days and is about to stand trial, is this treatment a bit too much?

The sedan swayed, and I felt vaguely uneasy. I simply opened the curtain next to me with one hand. I saw Eunuch Yu walking outside, so I whispered: "Eunuch Yu."

"What are your orders, Master Yue?"

"These...are arranged by the emperor?"

"Yes."

"..."

My brows furrowed even more.

I probably understand what kind of person Pei Yuanhao is. He never says unnecessary words, let alone does unnecessary things. If you just want to entertain officials today, then there is no need for me; if you want to interrogate me, why bother?

courtesy?

I'm used to the hardships he gives me, but this "gift" makes me a little uneasy.

Why did he do this?

Unless...

Something suddenly occurred to me, and my face suddenly hardened. When Eunuch Yu saw my expression change, he immediately leaned over and looked at me: "Master Yue? Master Yue? What's wrong with you? Your face is very ugly."

"I..."

As soon as I opened my mouth, my voice also changed a little. At this time, a gust of wind came with an icy chill. My fingers lying on the window frame were immediately blown cold, and I couldn't help but shiver. Mr. Yu said fairly: "Master Yue, you

Be careful, things are about to change."

Yes, things have changed...

I slowly raised my head and looked at the overcast sky. It seemed as if there was an invisible hand pressing on the entire imperial city, giving the impression that it was trying to suppress everyone here.

My mood also sank, I didn’t say anything, I just nodded to Eunuch Yu and lowered the curtain.

After a while, the sedan stopped outside the long corridor on the side of Baohe Hall. When I got off the sedan, I immediately saw the scene there. It was full of people and courtiers of the fourth rank and above were waiting there.

Eunuch Yu said: "Master Yue, the emperor is coming soon. You should go there quickly."

"Okay."

I nodded and walked along the corridor to Baohe Hall.

Before I got closer, I could already hear the noisy voices inside. The ministers were talking in twos and threes, and there was a lot of people. However, even though there were so many people, I saw a familiar figure in the crowd at a glance.

Liu Qinghan.

Somewhat unexpectedly, he was wearing the court uniform of Captain Qingqi. This seems to be the first time I have seen him wearing such clothes. The clothes with wide shoulders and waist made his figure more muscular, but it was only a few days ago.

No, he seemed to have lost a lot of weight. A smooth line from his clear forehead to his chin gave him a more handsome look. He was holding Fu Badai's hand, but he just stood silently with his head lowered, and his slight frown made his appearance even more beautiful.

Silence, in such a noisy hall, seems so abrupt.

When I saw him, although the sky was covered with clouds, I felt a clear and distant feeling.

And he, as if he felt something, looked towards me subconsciously, his eyes immediately lit up, and his tangled brows relaxed.

I smiled and nodded towards him, and he nodded slightly.

The sky is sunny and cloudy.

At this moment, Eunuch Yu’s voice sounded outside——

"The Emperor has arrived! The Queen has arrived!"

When everyone heard this, they all retreated to both sides, and saw the emperor and empress walking in slowly in full regalia. All the officials immediately knelt down and shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, my queen, my queen, my queen, my queen.

”

I also knelt on the ground, watching the pair of bright yellow boots striding past my eyes, and then the long skirt embroidered with golden phoenixes passing by. I raised my head slightly, and saw Chang Qing looking sideways at me,

Seemingly relieved to see that I was fine, he nodded, and I nodded too.

After the emperor and his concubines took their seats, all the concubines of the fourth rank and above in the harem also came in.

The most eye-catching one is naturally the concubine Shen Rou who is the favorite of the Holy Family.

Her rank is not higher than that of a queen, but she is dressed in rich clothes and has a head full of pearls. She looks like a fairy concubine. Although Concubine Li, who is known as the most beautiful woman in the world, came in at the same time, she is far from as domineering and domineering as her.

Pei Yuanhao sat down and waved his sleeves, and all the civil and military officials and concubines came to their seats and sat down.

And I, the Zhengzi of Jixian Hall, naturally went to Fu Badai's side and stood behind him with Qinghan.

The two of us were only a short distance apart, but neither he nor I looked at each other, and I immediately felt that some eyes were directed at me and him.

I don’t know whether he is looking at me and him, or the old man in front of me and him.

Fu Badai was sitting there, his thin figure as straight as a green bamboo. Although he couldn't see, his clear eyes reflected everyone in the hall, as if to capture everyone.

It’s like I’ve read it again.

Those people also looked at him.

At this time, I heard Pei Yuanhao say: "Everyone in the Qing family must also know that this person is Fu Badai, the bachelor of Jixian Palace."

Fu Badai stood up slowly and bowed his head towards the surroundings.

All the ministers also stood up, but you looked at me and I looked at you, but no one spoke first.

Fu Badai was originally blind. Although the officials in front of him had their hands clasped together, no one spoke, making the scene very strange.

A discerning person can tell at a glance that this is Taifu Shen’s deliberate attempt to embarrass himself.

I frowned slightly, but before I could speak, I heard Fu Badai smile, turn around and say to Liu Qinghan: "I bow my head, but no one in the court answered. Qinghan, there is no one here (Ren)

?"

Liu Qinghan looked around and said calmly: "You are reckless, and there are letters from all over the world. Teacher, there is no one here."

When those people heard this, their faces immediately changed.

I was listening in the back and couldn't help but laugh a little. Fortunately, I lowered my head so no one could see me. I only looked at the people next to me from the corners of my eyes.

I didn't expect that he would be so unforgiving.

At this time, Taifu Shen smiled coldly and said: "It's just that we were negligent and forgot that Master Fu's eyesight is inconvenient. Master Fu, I'm rude."

"Don't dare."

"This one is again——"

Seeing his eyes looking at Liu Qinghan, I also frowned. Qinghan immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Qinghan, pays my respects to all of you."

Taifu Shen said with a smile: "I have also heard that you are a disciple of Master Fu, and you live up to your reputation."

"Your Excellency is ridiculously complimentary."

"Haha, I am not complimenting you falsely. It is the custom of this dynasty that a light chariot captain should not be carried by a prince or a nobleman. You can be favored by the emperor and take on such a heavy responsibility. It shows that you must be good at it. Academician Fu's eyes are as bright as a torch, even the students are like this.

Outstanding, I am very envious of you."

He first suppresses and then raises his voice, which makes people feel a little strange.

I was still thinking about it in my mind, but I heard a soft voice, with a sharp edge like a needle, said: "Master Fu has a burning gaze, but with such a burning gaze, why is there a murder suspect standing behind him?"

When I looked up, I saw Shen Rou sitting next to the emperor, looking at me coldly.

As expected, they still want to come after me!

Moreover, what she said was very shrewd. I was obviously the Jixian Zhengzi appointed by Pei Yuanhao, but she described me as the person behind Grand Scholar Fu, completely ignoring the emperor, but she was directly referring to me.

It’s Jixian Hall, this move is really amazing!

Thinking of this, I raised my head, smiled slightly, and said to Shen Ju: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, it is polite to lower your rank. I wonder who your Majesty is referring to as the suspected murderer?"

"It's you, the official name of Jixian Palace, Yue Qingying!"

As soon as these words were spoken, it was as if a big stone had been dropped on the calm lake in the court hall, causing a thousand waves.

Everyone around was talking a lot. Pei Yuanhao and Chang Qing were sitting at the front. They only looked at each other and heard Pei Yuanhao say: "Your Majesty, it seems that I asked Xiangxing Temple to thoroughly investigate the incident more than ten years ago.

Is there any result to this murder case?"

Shen Rou immediately stood up and said: "If I return to the emperor, he has ordered a thorough investigation, and I will do my best to assist Xiangxing Temple in finding out the truth. Although the case has been going on for more than ten years, there is only one piece of the injured palace maid left.

Bloody clothes and personal belongings were left behind, but nothing was left behind. Therefore, the sentence of the punishment temple at that time was murder for wealth and death. I thought, if this is true, then after so many years, the money that has been stolen should be exposed.

Right."

"What the noble concubine said makes sense."

"So, I made a thorough investigation and discovered that there is something very wrong with Yue Qingying."

"Oh?"

"My concubine discovered that after she entered the palace, her first move was to give the steward thirty taels of silver, begging her to be transferred to the inner Tibetan Pavilion."

Hearing this, everyone around them frowned.

Thirty taels of silver is indeed not a small amount for a palace maid, but what they don't understand is why they spent such money to enter the inner palace.
