Chapter 43: The Death of the Captain

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on Di Yang and Wei Xingzhen, Cen Lingju's hands clenched in his sleeves.

At the moment, being left out in the cold and ignored by others is like a joke.

The girl gritted her teeth and stared at Dijan's back.

She was furious, but she couldn't do it.

She carefully prepared the Luodian treasure seat for nearly two months, and in this way, Di Yang stole the limelight with a pile of so-called bamboo rakes and flowers......

Cen Lingju's eyes were slightly hot, she had already thought of the use of this red mash today......

At this moment, a sharp voice suddenly came, interrupting Cen Lingju's thoughts, and also made everyone look sideways-

I saw a guard wearing a peach blossom mask walking quickly in the direction of Sun Youwei.

"Newspaperβ€”"

The peach blossom guard shouted while walking freely among the guards, and no one stopped him, which was obviously under His Majesty's personal order.

Sun Youwei's gaze turned cold, and he watched the peach blossom guard rush to the front.

After everyone arrived, Sun Youwei looked at the people under him and leaned forward slightly, "...... Is it from the Taiwei Mansion? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, exactly!"

Sun You smiled, "Why is the captain late tonight?" I waited for him, but I waited for a long time. ”

"Your Majesty's condolences." The peach blossom guard's voice added a bit of grief, "Mrs. Shao because she misunderstood Your Majesty before, which made the holy name dusty, and she felt ashamed...... I'm so angry! ”

After a moment of silence, the crowd suddenly became noisy - there were those who lamented, there were those who doubted, and all the officials who had joined the Luling Society wept on the spot.

The same is true for Chen Ming and Xu Dayou.

Others don't know what "plainly misunderstood Your Majesty" means, but they understand that they still remember the incident of the Shaw Brothers' loss of honor in front of the palace three days ago.

But after all, Shaw is a female official who has been by Sun Youwei's side for more than 20 years, and the friendship between the two is deep, and it can be described as a close friend......

At that time, they thought that if they waited for a while, when His Majesty's anger was gone, most of the matter would pass, but they didn't expect the Shaw family's temperament to be so strong......

On the throne, Sun Youwei's gaze slowly fell, a sad look covered her eyes, and she sighed softly, "This...... What's the problem? I don't blame you......"

Several of the courtiers in the front row heard Sun Youwei's whisper, got up on the spot, and knelt down towards Sun Youwei, "Your Majesty's condolences!" ”

More people reacted at this time, looking at the suddenly sad empress on the throne, and some people got up and bowed.

"Your Majesty's condolences!" They spoke in unison.

"Your Majesty!" Suddenly, an official got up from his seat, "The minister dared to ask, Mrs. Shao's so-called 'dusting the holy name'...... ...... exactly? ”

Everyone's eyes shook slightly, and then they all looked at Sun Youwei on the throne.

The elderly empress lowered her eyes slightly, and said in a low voice, "Three days ago, the Taiwei fainted in the Taichu Palace due to the possession of a wild spirit, you should have heard about it. ”

As she spoke, the gentlemen fell silent again.

She looked at Chen Ming's side, "I remember, Chen Xijiu and Xu Zhongcheng were also there at that time, weren't they?" ”

Chen Ming and Xu Dayou hurriedly got up, "Back to Your Majesty, yes." ”

"Well, let's talk about it with the two of you."

Xu Dayou choked on the spot and whispered to Chen Ming, "This ...... What to say? ”

Chen Ming tried his best to hold back the sourness in his nose and forced the choked throat down, "I'll come." ”

He stubbornly looked at the questioner among the ministers, and said in a low voice, "That day, because she was worried about the safety of the Taiwei, the Shao family entered the palace overnight, and when she saw the Taiwei unconscious, she thought that His Majesty was still holding a grudge against the conflict on the previous summer solstice, so she secretly dealt a cruel hand to the Taiwei......

Before the words were finished, everyone understood.

Chen Ming continued, "There are traitors who secretly practice and harm Zhongliang, which not only harms the Taiwei, but also affects the eldest princess - the eldest princess also fell into a coma for no reason that night, just like the Taiwei. ”

Suddenly there was a lot of discussion, and people realized that "Taiwei was attacked by wild spirits" was not an accident.

It sounds more like a planned conspiracy.

It's no wonder that in the past two days, the Dali Temple and the Peace Demon Office have almost turned over the entire Luoyang......

In order to avoid panic among the people of Shendu, and not to startle the snake, His Majesty did not disclose the matter, but limited the case to Dali Temple within three days, and Dali Temple Shaoqing Ji Ran and Shoufu Wei Xingzhen joined forces to arrest the culprit on the second day.

"At present, the case is still under investigation, and I heard that Dali Temple will issue an official document tomorrow to make the ins and outs of the matter public." Chen Ming looked at Sun Youwei, "Your Majesty has been ...... the past few days I'm really tired. ”

"I've long been used to it, Taiwei Gong is loyal to the country, but it's such an endgame, it's really sad and lamentable." Sun Youwei whispered, and she sighed, "I will bury the two of them in my Great Zhou Pantheon according to the specifications of the state funeral, so that future generations can pay their respects...... For specific details, the Ministry of Rites will follow up. ”

The Ministry of Rites stood up, "Yes." ”

Hearing this, Chen Ming couldn't bear it anymore, bowed down to Sun Youwei, and replied in a crying voice, "...... Your Majesty Shengming. ”

"Your Majesty," someone in the crowd stood up again, "the Taiwei is the minister's mentor, can Your Majesty allow the minister to go to the Taiwei's Mansion now?" Minister...... tonight I want to go and keep a vigil for Master and his wife......"

Almost at this moment, Feng Yan saw that Sun Youwei's breath had become sharp again.

The majestic killing intent that overflowed from her covered the entire peach forest almost in an instant, but a faint sad smile appeared on Sun Youwei's face, "It's rare that you have this intention...... Who else wants to go with him to the vigil for the captain? ”

Among the courtiers, Xue Anshan's students stood up in twos and threes.

As soon as Xu Dayou wanted to get up, he felt Chen Ming beside him holding his arm.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Lord Chen? ”

Chen Ming's eyes were already red, he didn't even look up, and said word by word in a voice that only Xu Dayou could hear, "...... Don't move. ”

Xu Dayou was puzzled, although he was sitting on pins and needles, he still listened to Chen Ming's words, stayed quietly in his seat, and then watched the others leave the table.

On the other end, Feng Yishu also got up and wanted to leave, he had always disliked these Yingying Yanyan's cocktail banquets, plus Xue Anshan was an old minister he respected very much, after thinking about it, he decided to go to the Taiwei Mansion with everyone to have a look.

However, before he could stand up, his mother Li grabbed him tightly.

"Mother......?" Feng Yishu just wanted to explain to Li Shi and ask her to let go, but as soon as he saw Li's face, he was shocked by Li's bloodless face.

"Mother, what's wrong with you? Uncomfortable? Why is your face so bad all of a sudden-"

"Gorou sit down." Li Shi trembled and spoke.

Li rarely showed such an expression in front of the child, Feng Yishu hurriedly followed her words and sat down again, "I'll go and help you invite an imperial doctor to come overβ€”β€”"

"I'm fine." Li Shi held her son's hand harder and harder, and the green tendons on the back of her thin hand bulged, "You ...... tonight Just stay here with my mother, don't go anywhere. ”

Feng Yishu nodded obediently and sat down quietly beside his mother.

Li didn't speak again, but looked at Sun Youwei on the throne, and the trembling in his heart couldn't be calmed for a long time-

Be cautious in what you say and do......

Be careful with what you say and do!
