"Master." A person whispered next to Song Tingyu's ear.

Song Tingyu immediately strode away, and the person who came to report hurriedly followed.

Song Tingyu came to Sui Ya's dormitory and looked at the secret passage of the mechanism that had been opened.

"What are you doing?" Sui Ya suddenly said loudly.

Song Tingyu ignored her, turned sideways and bowed his head to the people beside him: "Go and see if there are any secret passages and secret rooms in other places." ”

"Yes."

"What's down here?" Song Tingyu looked at Sui Ya's eyes and asked quietly.

"It's a secret room." Sui Ya said nonchalantly: "There is a secret room in the palace, isn't this a normal thing?" ”

"You built this secret room, right?" Song Tingyu paused and said lightly: "The ordinary secret room may only be used to escape in times of crisis. ”

"It's just your secret room, so I can't tell."

"What's down there?"

"You're not going to see it yourself?" Sui Ya rolled her eyes and said.

"Since the queen is approved, then you go down and have a look." Song Tingyu casually pointed to a humane.

Hearing this, Sui Ya was even more contemptuous, when he directly led someone to search the palace without saying a word, why didn't he ask her if it was allowed?

Song Tingyu seemed to know what she was thinking: "The process still has to go." ”

The one who went down quickly came up: "There is a secret room at the bottom, and there is nothing." ”

"No other organs?"

"No, it's clean, nothing."

"Since there isn't, let's go to other secret passages and have a look." Song Tingyu said with a light smile.

"This huge Jiaofang hall can't have just an empty dark room, then Queen Mother, where did you do what you didn't want others to know?"

"You...... Song Tingyu, don't go too far! Sui Ya said with a blushing face.

Song Tingyu left straight away, no longer looking at her, the people under his command came to report from time to time, but what he found was not what he wanted.

However, he couldn't find a better one, and he didn't have to clean up the mess again.

Since Min Yan and her no longer saw each other, the poison Sui Ya used to poison Min Yan should have been disposed of.

"None of them."

"None of them."

After hearing this kind of answer non-stop, Song Tingyu instructed lightly: "You go and check how many dark rooms and secret passages there are in the Jiaofang Palace." ”

"Yes."

"What the hell is Song Qing looking for?"

"Doesn't the Queen Mother have a little number in her heart?" Song Tingyu glanced at her lightly.

"I'm not you, how would I know."

"The Queen Mother will pack up and go to the Queen Mother's dormitory Shou'an Palace in the past two days."

After Song Tingyu made sure that the entire Jiaofang Hall did not have the kind of poison she gave Min Yan, he left some people to continue to check the secret room and secret passage, and turned around and left the Jiaofang Palace.

In order to prevent Sui Ya from making a move on Min Fenglan, Song Tingyu sent Ji Chi over to protect him.

Back at the Prime Minister's Mansion, the person who was waiting beside Song Tingyu was temporarily replaced, and he carefully guarded Song Tingyu's side: "Master." ”

"What?"

"Someone just sent this." The servant handed the letter to Song Tingyudao.

Song Tingyu glanced at the content of the letter, and knew who wrote the letter, and glanced at him lightly: "If you don't know who you are, you might as well go back, and you don't need to be in front of me." ”

"The subordinates don't dare to betray the domain master." The subordinate immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.

His body trembled involuntarily, as if he was terrified.

Song Tingyu looked bad, tired for a few days in a row, and said in a not very good mood: "Go down, come again." ”

The subordinate hurriedly went out, looking like he was the rest of his life after the catastrophe.

"Master." When Ji Chi returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he immediately came over.

"How is the emperor's side?"

"Everything is fine with the emperor."

Ji Chi paused, and said with some hesitation: "It's just that the crown prince is young, and many courtiers have suggested that the queen mother should listen to the government." ”

"They are afraid that I, an outsider, will have the intention of seizing power." Song Tingyu sneered.

Ji Chi lowered his head: "Then what should we do now?" ”

"They want the Queen Mother to listen to the government, then it will be as they wish, and I only promised to keep Min Fenglan safe." Song Tingyu said lightly.

"The young master is here, you go to this place to take a look and ask what is the matter?" Song Tingyu handed him an address and said.

"Yes." Ji Chi took the address and said.

After Ji Chi left, the person in charge of searching the Jiaofang Palace came over and said: "There are a total of five secret rooms and three secret passages in the Jiaofang Palace, one of which leads to the outside of the palace, and one secret passage leads to the suburbs. ”

"It's all sealed."

"Yes."

"Sui Ya has moved out of Jiaofang Hall in the past two days, you can find a time to search Shou'an Palace before she moves in."

"After she moved to Shou'an Palace, she took the opportunity of repairing the Jiaofang Palace to clean up all the traces of the secret room and secret passage."

"Yes."

"Go ahead."

Dr. Jiang disposed of Min Yan's body and made it look like he had died a normal death.

As long as there is no careful inspection, there is basically no problem.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the mourning hall, Dr. Jiang led people to sneak into the mourning hall, moved out the body of the stand-in lying in the coffin, and put Min Yan's body inside.

After doing all this, Dr. Jiang followed the people who brought him and quietly left the mourning hall.

Back at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Dr. Jiang went in as soon as possible and said, "Master, it's done." ”

"It's hard work, go and rest." Song Tingyu's voice came faintly from inside, but he didn't mean to see Doctor Jiang.

Dr. Jiang has been really tired in the past few days, and he has been working tirelessly to deal with Min Yan's body, trying every means to cover up the traces of Min Yan's death from poisoning.

After Dr. Jiang bowed, he retired.

Ji Chi knocked on the door very regularly according to the address given by Song Tingyu, and then the door was opened.

After Ji Chi entered, he saluted to the young man who was not very old inside: "Young master, the domain master sent his subordinates to ask." ”

"Won't Master see me?" The boy said in a voice that should have had a small milk voice.

"The big thing in the imperial capital, I think you know that the domain master really doesn't have time."

"Did Master say when he would return to the Dark Realm?" The boy said sadly.

Ji Chi's silence was the best answer, and the young man was very disappointed between his eyebrows, and then said, "Got it." ”

"Please also ask Master Ji Chi to tell Master that I will return to the Dark Domain in a few days."

"The imperial capital is not peaceful now, please return to the dark domain as soon as possible." Ji Chi is neither humble nor arrogant.

"Master won't let me stay for even a few days?" The young man said very heartbrokenly.

"The emperor is not peaceful, and the domain lord is also worried about your safety." Ji Chi said it very high-soundingly.

"I know, I'm worried about Master, and I want to wait for the imperial capital to calm down before leaving." The young man's lost eyebrows and eyes gradually merged with the dark night.

"Then the young master should pay attention to safety these days, if there is anything, just send someone to inform Ji Chi." Ji Chi saluted.

Ji Chi didn't refuse, his domain master just asked him to come over and pass on a few words.

As for where the young master is, it is not his turn to care.

When Sui Ya appeared in the mourning hall, it was already the last day that Min Yan's coffin had stopped in the mourning hall.

On the way to the imperial tomb, someone will send it off, and all the courtiers and people from the royal family will gather in the mourning hall, intending to send Min Yan on his last journey.

Because when Min Yan was alive, Sui Ya was the only one in the harem, so among the female dependents, except for the lady who had a fate, she was the only one left.

Min Yan has no brothers, and only Min Fenglan has one child, plus Min Fenglan grew up beside Min Yan since he was a child, so he naturally has a deep affection.

"The Queen Mother." Min Fenglan saluted.

Sui Ya glanced at Min Fenglan very coldly, and then at Song Tingyu, who was staring at him from the side, and her face became even colder.

After Sui Ya arrived, the eunuch Rong Gonggong beside Min Fenglan said loudly: "Cover the coffin!" ”

"Send the spirit!"

In Northern Xinjiang, Cheng Ji stood up in surprise: "What? The emperor died? ”

"When? It was seven days ago. ”

Cheng Ji gasped and sat back in his seat: "I didn't expect that the imperial capital was separated, and it was the eternal separation of heaven and man, and the imperial capital was the last one." ”

Cheng Ji couldn't help but say sadly: "Now that I think about it, there were actually clues before. ”

It's just that he didn't take it to heart.

He and Min Yan are not recent, but have been friends for nearly twenty years.

It is no secret that the royal family and the Cheng family in southern Fujian do not get along, so when he returned to the imperial capital, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the two of them were no longer as close as they were when they walked the rivers and lakes before.

The disputes between the two clans, accumulated from generation to generation, can no longer be resolved by a single head of the family or the emperor.

All along, they have been trying their best to resolve the contradictions between the two races.

And the relationship between the two tribes is easing day by day, as they wished.

But in the process of détente, most of them are moisturizing things silently.

For fear that the radicals of the two races will not be able to stand it, so all their efforts will be in vain!

So although the world knows that they are old friends and old acquaintances.

But in fact, most of them exchanged letters over the years, and they didn't actually see each other much.

Going to the imperial capital before was the only time Min Yan asked them to go.

He should have thought that there was something wrong with this......

But he didn't expect it.

"The emperor's death is a national funeral, and it won't be long before it reaches Beidi, so we still have to make plans."

"Beidi has a new king, and we have a new emperor, and the situation is similar." Cheng Ji suddenly remembered when he said this: "It's just that the emperor is young, who is the assistant now?" ”

"The emperor left an edict for the prime minister to assist the government, but after the emperor ascended the throne, the courtiers unanimously wrote to ask the queen mother to listen to the government."

"The emperor also allowed it."

"Song Tingyu is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and he is capable, and it is only natural that he is jealous of a group of great Confucians."

"As for the Queen Mother's curtain to listen to the government, throughout the ages, it is also a common practice when the prince ascends the throne at a young age."

"But the Queen Mother has never liked the head of the family, if there is something missing here, it will be difficult to do." Cheng Cheng said worriedly.

"Let's talk about it when it happens, and we won't end up in the mountains."
