Chapter 309: A Sideways Fight
Judging from Han Dun's power in the court, the little emperor killed Han Jianzhang's brother-in-law, and the matter was not small!
So is he acting recklessly because of his young age?
If he was a reckless child, then how did he think of sending Li Qiu to inform Shen Ruopu and Wen Chan that he wanted to harm her?
In this way, Lin Juntao's presence is very meaningful......
Although he is also a civil official, but this time he was directly sent by the little emperor, in addition to the layer of friendship with the Shen family, and the layer of not speaking falsely in front of the Son of Heaven was added, at least it shows that the possibility of Lin Juntao speaking to Han Dun's side is close to zero.

In this way, is it really possible for the little emperor to secretly pull a bias in this matter?
But why did he secretly work against Empress Dowager Zheng and Han Dun?
"Have you ever heard of friction between the emperor and the queen mother, or any conflict between him and Han Ge Lao?" she asked.
"Not really. Shen Yan said, "The queen mother has a deep relationship with the emperor, the emperor is filial, and he also respects Han Dun, and often says that he is loyal and righteous in the court." ā
Shen Xi groaned, if there was no obvious contradiction, then she was a little uncertain.
But in any case, she can only fight for the little emperor now, and only the power in the hands of the little emperor can influence the mind of the Empress Dowager Zheng.
As long as he is won by her, then the Shen family will not necessarily lose a lot!
If she doesn't fight in this matter, she has no chance of winning at all, and if she fights, even if she can't get extremely satisfactory results, she will at least touch the little emperor's mind!
I figured out his thoughts, and no matter how I said they would act in the future......
She looked into the courtyard and saw that Lin Juntao and the others had finished checking and were about to return to the court.
She immediately turned her head and said to Shen Yan: "You wait here, if Qi Jiu comes back, you tell her to come and chase me immediately!"
After saying that, she left her and walked quickly to Du Jia, who had already gone out.
The group went to the palace gate in the morning light.
And Qi Jiu hurried back to the Shen family here, looking for Aunt Pei to get the confession, and then picked a maid Cuiying who had served the Ji family in the past, and happened to meet Shen Xi and his party in the palace under Liu'er Hutong.
And on this side, Su Yan had already found the guards guarding outside the Wen family.
In a hurry, he didn't care about any etiquette or rudeness, so he immediately used a trick to trick Wen Yuanxuan's cronie Wen Fu out of the house, and after being caught, he forced a confession, and then rushed to the palace gate.
When the people of the Wen family saw it, they hurriedly notified the inner house, Mrs. Wen patted the table and said that she was going to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to accuse Xiao Huai of committing murder, Su Yan took the guards here and blocked the main gates of the Wen family directly, and she was so cowardly that she retreated.
Here at the Chengtian Gate, Xiao Huai also came out, and the guards immediately said: "I didn't recruit anything useful, it seems that Wen Yuanzhen didn't directly let the people around him do it in order to be clean." ā
Xiao Huai's brows tightened again.
The guard suddenly said again: "But he mentioned that Zuo Qinghui, the middle of the Ministry of Rites, has been diligent in their mansion recently. ā
"Zuo Qinghui?"
Xiao Huai squinted, and then looked deeply at the guard.
The guards escorted Wenfu away.
Xiao Huai entered the Chengtian Gate with his front foot, and Shen Xi and his party arrived with their back foot.
The Qianqing Palace was in torment at this time.
Hearing that Yang Qian and the others had already returned, the hall that was about to freeze began to loosen.
Xiao Huai and Han Dun looked at the door almost at the same time, and King Yan, who was sitting on the throne, had not made a sound since Hu Wei started to play, and his eyes also looked at the door at this time.
Shen Xi stepped into the threshold amid the sound of discussion in the hall.
After making a big salute, he glanced around the hall, and then stood on Xiao Huai's side, letting Yang Qian and them reply first.
Xiao Huai stood on her left, and at this moment he couldn't communicate with her verbally, and how he acted depended on tacit understanding.
Shen Xi's thoughts were all on the little emperor, but there was no emotion on the little emperor's immature face.
However, they didn't know that the two of them were standing side by side, and they immediately attracted many glances.
After all, Xiao Huai's physique is majestic and magnificent, and Shen Xi's posture is excellent and graceful, in the past, he only heard legends and didn't realize it, but today he saw the two of them match like this, and people couldn't help but think of the four words in their minds.
Shen Xi stood for a while, and suddenly felt the gaze from above, she couldn't help but turn her head, and saw that King Yan was looking at her.
She glanced at Xiao Huai, Xiao Huai's attention was all on Yang Qian and Lin Juntao's confessions, and she didn't notice it, she thought about it, then turned sideways, and bowed deeply to King Yan with her face facing up.
In the end, this is her future father-in-law, and it is the first time they have met......
King Yan didn't speak, but only raised the three fingers of his right hand resting on the armrest slightly upward.
Shen Xi bowed his head and returned to his original place to stand.
Wen Yuanzhen on the other side had already stood up: "I heard that Miss Shen can testify to Uncle Ling?"
Shen Xi paused slightly, looked at the little emperor, and then stepped forward and said, "I brought witnesses." ā
Wen Yuanzhen smiled and said, "I don't know where the witnesses are?"
Shen Xi blesses the eunuch outside the door, and outside the door, the slightly trembling Cui Ying walks in: "This is the maid beside the Ji family." Tell me all the truth you know. ā
"Ji's maid?" Wen Yuanzhen sneered, "How could this be the maid by Ji's side?"
"Ji's sudden death, the people around him should be busy jumping around, how can there be such a neat dress?!
"Miss Shen shouldn't be pretending to be someone else, you must know that bullying the king is a big crime, and the Jinluan Palace can't tolerate you messing around!"
Shen Xi said: "What Lord Wen means is that when you come to see the driver, you shouldn't pack up before you come in?" I don't know why Lord Wen is so sure that I am deceiving the king?"
"I don't know why the adults are so sure that the people around the Ji family should be busy jumping around?
Wen Yuan paused slightly, and then sneered: "Whether it is the handmaid of the Ji family or not, the official will know as soon as he asks!"
He pointed to the green warbler on the ground: "This official asked you, what kind of clothes are in Ji's closet? What kind of clothes did she wear when she died? What kind of hair was combed, and what color and texture did she use on her mattress?"
Cuiying swallowed her saliva and replied.
Wen Yuan immediately turned around and asked Yang Qian: "Dare to ask Lord Yang, what this woman said is correct?"
Yang Qian frowned and said, "That's not right. ā
Wen Yuanzhen immediately took his hand and looked at Shen Xi with a sneer: "What else does Miss Shen have to say?!"
"I don't have to quibble. Shen Xi said, "This Cui Ying is a maid who has served the Ji family for many years in our third room, everyone knows this, what do I have to quibble?"
"I want to testify to my uncle, if I don't bring the maids in the house, do I still bring the maids outside? Why did Lord Wen first think of me as a fraud?
"Could it be that Lord Wen thinks that I can only do fakes?"
Even though Wen Yuanzhen was good at arguing, he was also questioned by her for a while.
