Yin Xuan put down the fold in his hand, got up and came to the bedside, looked at her and asked, "Have you slept well?" ”

Nie Qingwan blinked, glanced at him, and then at the dragon table not far away, and saw that there had been a lot of criticism on the table, she said, "Why didn't the emperor wake up the slaves?" The slave and maid will give you ink. ”

Yin Xuan said: "Seeing that you slept sweetly, I didn't scream." ”

Nie Qingwan said: "The slave maid will get up early tomorrow." ”

Yin Xuan didn't respond to this, only reached out and touched her face, kissed her forehead again, stood up, and went to take the palace maid costume that had been prepared a long time ago.

After taking it, he was going to put it on her, Nie Qingwan was flattered, oh, no, she was shocked, she glared at him, snatched the clothes over, and said, "The slave wears it herself." ”

Yin Xuan didn't rob her, and lowered his head to get her shoes.

Nie Qingwan's heart was shocked, thinking that she had just slept for a while, and this man was out of his body? Does he know what he's doing?

Nie Qingwan snatched the shoes again and said, "I'll wear them myself." ”

Yin Xuan's hands were empty, his heart was also empty, uncomfortably tight, he clenched his fingers lightly, looked at Nie Qingwan's back and got dressed, and wanted to rush up and take her into his arms and rub her into his bones, but he couldn't, he also knew that he was too abnormal today, with her shrewdness, he must have seen it.

He didn't want to serve her so soon, but he couldn't help it, as long as he thought that she was her, she was the queen mother, his father-in-law, his beloved, his grace, and his lifeline, he just wanted to do everything he had been eager to do but didn't have the opportunity to do for her.

Yin Xuan sat there with his head down, sweet and sad, and when Nie Qingwan got dressed and put on his shoes, he turned his head and got up and sat back behind the dragon table.

Nie Qingwan went out to wash her face, and when she came in, she said that it was breakfast time, and asked him if he wanted to notify the imperial dining room to pass the meal.

Yin Xuan said: "Pass it on." ”

Nie Qingwan went out to convey to Suihai, and Suihai hurriedly went to inform the imperial dining room.

When the breakfast was set, Yin Xuan moved over.

Nie Qingwan also followed.

The wounds on Nie Qingwan's mouth are scabbed, and eating will not be affected anymore, but she is a palace maid and can't eat with Yin Xuan, yesterday was because of the plate of corn cakes, she didn't withstand the temptation, but was lightly bitten by Yin Xuan, today, she was killed and won't stay anymore, she went out to eat her own small meal.

Yin Xuan sat there eating alone, only feeling that the taste was the same as chewing wax, and there was no taste at all.

No matter what he caught in the sea, he couldn't swallow it.

Later, Suihai really didn't dare to move the chopsticks, and he was there with a cold sweat hooking his head and waist, and he didn't know what to do.

After a long time, Yin Xuan said: "Go and see if Hua Beijiao has finished eating, if she finishes eating, let her come in to cloth vegetables, you can go eat." ”

When Suihai heard this, as if he had been amnestied, he immediately put down his chopsticks and went out to call Nie Qingwan.

Nie Qingwan had already eaten, so she didn't shirk it, went in to serve Yin Xuan, and let Suihai go to eat.

This time, Yin Xuan felt that everything was full of color, flavor, and taste, commanding Nie Qingwan to clip this for a while, and commanding Nie Qingwan to clip that for a while, in short, everything eaten was fragrant, and even several times, Nie Qingwan had no time to put the dish in his bowl, he had already clasped her hand, and directly put the chopsticks in her hand, and sent the dish into his mouth, every time Nie Qingwan would stare at him, and Yin Xuan, stared at by her, was extremely sweet, and the corners of his mouth raised a naughty smile that even he himself couldn't believe.

Because of such sweetness, he was reluctant to leave, so he sat there all the time, enjoying the special services of the woman he loved.

But there are always some people who don't know whether they are alive or dead, and come to destroy Yin Xuan's rare good mood.

Chen Yu took the human skin mask to Chunming Courtyard, and took advantage of the chaos of the officers and soldiers to search, and hid the human skin mask in Wang Yunyao's room, don't ask Chen Yu how to know Wang Yunyao's house, after this incident happened before, their criminal department brought someone to search once, naturally it is clear.

Tuoba Mingyan arranged the inner ghost in Chunmingyuan, and after Chen Yu took someone there, it was easy to ask what they wanted from the mouth of this inner ghost.

The inner ghost said that Wang Yunyao had taken the black cloth in the treasury the day before the queen had a tummy, and the amount of black cloth was completely enough to make a night dress, Wang Yunyao scolded her for spitting blood, she had never taken the black cloth in the treasury of the Yanxia Palace, but Chen Yu went to the treasury to record, and there was clearly a message in the record that the Wang steward of Chunming Yuan took a black cloth on a certain day and at a certain time, and the handwriting of the last signature was verified and compared, it was indeed her own handwriting, Wang Yunyao was speechless for a while, and her eyes were cold, Stared at Tuoba Mingyan, who was standing on the side surrounded by many palace maids and eunuchs.

Huandong and Huanxi also tried their best to exonerate Wang Yunyao, saying that they had never been out of the palace, nor had they gone to the treasury to get the black cloth, and they were wronged, but what was the use?

Chen Yu came here today to put them to death, how can they quibble?

Chen Yu directly asked the people from the Criminal Department to tie up Wang Yunyao, and arrested Huandong and Huanxi together on the charge of alliance.

Gong Yongqin hurried over after knowing this, and said to Chen Yu: "Yuan Yun, we searched the house of this Wang steward before, but we didn't find a human skin mask. ”

Chen Yu said: "My lord, I also received a report, so I came here again, I think she was carrying a human skin mask on her body at that time, and we only took the house at that time, but we didn't search her body." ”

The first time I searched, I really didn't search anyone's body, but I didn't expect to almost miss the real murderer.

Gong Yongqin said: "If you have evidence, then report it to the emperor." ”

Chen Yu should be, so the two took the evidence and escorted Wang Yunyao, Huandong and Huanxi and the inner ghost to see Yin Xuan.

Yin Xuan was still eating, and Gong Yongqin and Chen Yu didn't dare to disturb him, so they only let Suihai Xian pass it on his behalf.

Sui Hai came in and passed it on, but Yin Xuan ignored it.

Nie Qingwan said: "Master Gong and Lord Chen came to see the emperor at this time, something big must have happened, otherwise they would never dare to disturb the emperor's meal, anyway, the emperor has already eaten almost, so it is better to pass it in and see what happened." ”

Yin Xuan glanced at her, but Nie Qingwan didn't look at him, and looked at the door with light but dark eyes like nightfall.

It seemed that she was waiting for this door to open.

Sui Hai lifted his eyelids and glanced at Nie Qingwan, thinking to himself, the county lord of Jindong has been serving the emperor for several days, and he never talks much, most of the time he is silent, like a mute, why did he suddenly open his mouth today, or such words.

Can the emperor listen to her?

Yin Xuan listened, put down his chopsticks, picked up the mouthwash tea, and let the people in with the sea before drinking.

Suihai was slightly stunned, but he didn't dare to be careless, and immediately went out to pass the decree, Xuangong Yongqin and others went in.

After Yin Xuan rinsed his mouth, Nie Qingwan wanted to come and pick up the cup, Yin Xuan didn't let her take it, and directly dropped the cup on the table, he stood up, reached out to hold her hand, and looked into her eyes.

At that moment, Nie Qingwan felt that he had something to say to her, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

Yin Xuan let go of her hand and sat down on the dragon chair behind her.

Nie Qingwan lowered her eyes and stood to the side.

Gong Yongqin and Chen Yu came in and saluted Yin Xuan, and the two of them told them about today's events and presented evidence.

Yin Xuan looked at the human skin mask, took it in his hand and touched it, and then put it back on the wooden plate, he half supported his forehead, and asked Chen Yu: "You found the human skin mask?" ”

Chen Yu said: "Back to the emperor, it was searched by the ministers. ”

Yin Xuan asked, "Why didn't you find it before?" ”

Chen Yu said: "Before, we only searched the yard and the house, and did not search anyone's body, at that time, the king steward must have brought a human skin mask on his body, and when someone accidentally found her, she hid, but no matter how deep she hid, as long as she exposed the horse's feet, she would definitely be found." ”

Yin Xuan asked, "Who found it?" ”

Chen Yu said: "Chunming Courtyard is a palace maid who tends to flowers and plants. ”

Yin Xuan asked: "Then the palace maid belongs to the Yanxia Palace?" ”

Chen Yu said: "Yes." ”

Yin Xuan didn't ask, nor did he pass on the palace maid into the palace, nor did he ask, he just raised his head, looked at Nie Qingwan, and asked, "Steward Wang has a human skin mask on him, do you know?" ”

Nie Qingwan frowned slightly, lifted the hem of her skirt and knelt on the ground.

Yin Xuan's face was cold, and then a surging anger appeared in his eyes, at that moment, his heart turned over and overwhelmed the pain, his queen mother, when did he kneel to someone, Ren Ji was right, she was born with royal power, and she was born to accept everyone's worship, not to kneel to others.

Yin Xuan stood up, walked over, and pulled her up.

His fingers were cold, and he clasped her hand, trying to restrain his urge to kill.

He didn't allow it, and she knelt down to anyone, including him.

Yin Xuan pulled Nie Qingwan coldly, went to the dragon chair, and after sitting down, he directly hugged her in his arms.

This move, no, from the moment he pulled Nie Qingwan up from the ground, the faces of everyone in this hall changed.

Sui Hai wailed in his heart, it's terrible!

Gong Yongqin and Chen Yu both had a sigh in their hearts, and a very ominous premonition seeped from their hearts.

Gong Yongqin and Chen Yu glanced at each other, and they both saw a kind of confusion, a kind of panic, and a kind of doom crisis in each other's eyes.

Fortunately, both of them have been officials for many years, and their concentration is acceptable.

Soon Gong Yongqin reined in his mind, and so did Chen Yu.

But the mastermind of this matter, that is, the murderer they want to arrest, is being held by the emperor at the moment, should they still say it?

Chen Yu never expected that the county lord of Jindong was already so favored by the emperor, which was a big mistake.

Nie Qingwan was hugged by Yin Xuan, and felt that things were really getting weirder and weirder, what did he know and wanted to protect her? But does she need his protection? No, you don't. Besides, hadn't he been testing her all the time, doubting her? Why did she suddenly reverse and protect her? If something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

Nie Qingwan pushed Yin Xuan's hand and said, "Your Majesty, you are holding a slave like this, it is not in accordance with the rules. ”

Yin Xuan lifted his eyelids and looked at her lightly, and said, "You are not a slave. ”

He raised his voice and read word by word to Suihai: "From now on, the lord of Jindong County, Huabei Jiao, is Wan Guifei, above the four concubines, not given to the palace, and live in Longyang Palace forever, announce to the world, carry out the ceremony, and the Internal Affairs Office will do it on the same day, and send another decree to the Jindong Palace, announce that the King of Jindong, the princess of Jindong and the prince of Jindong will enter the palace to pay respects, witness the wedding, and I will have a husband and wife ceremony with Wan Guifei." ”

If Yin Xuan's act of pulling and hugging just now stunned everyone, now, his words and sentences completely frightened everyone, including Nie Qingwan.

Nie Qingwan looked at Yin Xuan, her eyes narrowed in a dangerous arc, she took him for eighteen years, although they were only three years apart, she accepted him when she was ten years old, he was seven years old at the time, and she was also very young, but she still treated him as her child, she thought she knew him, but from the day he killed her, she didn't seem to understand him.

Is it that when the child grows up, it will be incomprehensible to the mothers?

His edict completely disrupted her plans.

Refuse?

If she was alone, of course she would not hesitate to refuse, but she is not alone now, she still has the entire Jindong, she was reborn with the body of Huabei Jiao, no matter whether she has a relationship with Jindong or not, she has to be grateful for the existence of this person, so that she has a chance to live again, then, for this gratitude, she will also protect her people.

Can you refuse......

Nie Qingwan pursed the corners of her mouth, restrained her hand and prevented herself from slapping him, wasn't he suspecting that she was the former queen mother? is suspicious, how can she be named a concubine, and she has to hold a canonization ceremony and perform the gift of husband and wife, this unfilial son!

After the unfilial son Yin Xuan finished speaking, he asked Suihai: "Have you heard it clearly?" ”

Sui Hai said in a trembling voice: "I heard clearly." ”

Yin Xuan said: "Go down and inform the Ministry of Internal Affairs." ”

With the sea, he swayed out, stood outside the door, and was illuminated by the rising sun, only to know that this is not a dream, this is true, the emperor actually wants to crown Huabei Jiao as a concubine, and moreover, he has to hold a ceremony and perform the gift of husband and wife! The point is, why Wan Guifei? Shouldn't it be a gorgeous concubine? What is the meaning of this euphemism?

Suihai didn't dare to think deeply, and when he thought about it, he felt that he would never recover.

He shook his shoulders, cheered up, and went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to deliver a message.

Anyway, it's a great event.

He has to be happy for the emperor.

After leaving with the sea, Yin Xuan hugged Nie Qingwan and continued the topic just now, Nie Qingwan said that she didn't know about it, Yin Xuan looked at Chen Yu again and said, "Concubine Wan doesn't know, you just need to judge Wang Yunyao." ”

Yin Xuan is so blatantly protective, what else can Chen Yu say?

He didn't dare say anything more.

But if he doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that Nie Qingwan won't say it.

Nie Qingwan sat on Yin Xuan's lap, she couldn't retreat for a while, she had to sit, her hands were played with by Yin Xuan, she couldn't withdraw her hand, so she could only let him play, she was calm and calm, her voice was tepid, and it came down from above, it seemed to carry a natural dragon power, she said: "Chuan Wang Yunyao came in." ”

At that moment, Yin Xuan's gaze froze, his two hands stopped, and he raised his head and looked at her.

But she didn't look at him, her face swung to the middle of the main hall, the curvature of that side of her face was unfamiliar, but the momentum on that side of her face was so familiar.

The familiarity was shocking to him.

Sure enough, she reappeared, such a fascinating and unbeatable momentum, only she can match, and only she can show it so naturally.

Yin Xuan stretched out his hand and hugged Nie Qingwan's waist.

Nie Qingwan frowned slightly, glared at him back, Yin Xuan didn't care, just hugged her like that, and sat upright.

Chen Yu and Gong Yongqin at the bottom heard Nie Qingwan's words, and didn't dare to refute them, but they didn't move, probably waiting for Yin Xuan to speak.

Yin Xuan stared at them lukewarmly: "Didn't you hear what Concubine Wan was saying?" ”

Gong Yongqin immediately shouted at the back: "Bring Wang Yunyao in!" ”

Wang Yunyao was brought in and knelt on the ground.

Nie Qingwan asked her, "Where did you get the human skin mask?" ”

Wang Yunyao was also puzzled: "Niangniang, the slave maid does not have a human skin mask on her, I don't know where Lord Chen got it, before we entered the palace, when we left from the Jindong Palace, we packed all the bags for Mama He to see, Mama He can testify!" Entering the palace has also been checked by the palace guards, after entering the palace, we have never gone out, the first palace to live in is the barren grass house, the second palace is the smoke hall, where do the slaves go to get human skin masks! ”

Nie Qingwan glanced at the wooden plate placed on the side, and reached out to get the human skin mask, but both hands were occupied by Yin Xuan, she couldn't pull it back, so she kicked him hard, Yin Xuan was in pain, and reluctantly let go of her hand and sat up straight.

Nie Qingwan got off his lap and went to the wooden plate to get the human skin mask.

Chen Yu squinted his eyes and said, "This thing is not difficult to get, as long as you pay a little money, you can get it casually." ”

Wang Yunyao said: "Lord Chen knows so well, isn't this thing that you spent money to frame me?" ”

Chen Yu said: "I don't understand what Steward Wang said, I was ordered to handle the case, and I went to Chunming Courtyard after receiving a report, before that, I had no dealings with Steward Wang, and I had nothing to do with it, why should I frame you?" Chunming Courtyard belongs to the Yanxia Palace, belongs to the harem category, I am a former court official, never stepped in, if someone does not report, I will not go, besides, the person who searched today is not me, but the official, don't you want to say, everyone has an enmity against you, and they all want to frame you? ”

Wang Yunyao was stunned, and snorted coldly: "If you want to add to the crime, why is there no word?" ”

Chen Yu said: "In front of the emperor, if I really wronged you, I am willing to accept the guilt, but you should bear the crime, you don't want to get away with it, poisoning the queen, this is a capital crime." ”

Wang Yunyao gritted her teeth and glared at him.

Chen Yu was like a ruthless Hades at this time, staring at her expressionlessly.

Gong Yongqin felt that it might be wrong to come today, he didn't dare to look up at the emperor's face at all, from the emperor's holy decree to confer concubines, Gong Yongqin knew that no matter how sufficient the evidence they handed in today, this Wan Guifei and the king's steward would be fine.

Gong Yongqin was silent, that was because he didn't have the confidence of Chen Yu.

What confidence?

A person with a strong background and the support of a strong family.

Chen Yu dared to fight, but he didn't dare.

Gong Yongqin felt that his official career was probably going to fold today.

Nie Qingwan looked at the human skin mask for a long time, and asked Chen Yu with a smile: "Lord Chen, are you sure that this human skin mask was searched from my maidservant's house?" ”

Chen Yu said: "Exactly. ”

Nie Qingwan looked at him, and after a long time, she laughed again and asked an unrelated topic: "Lord Chen, do you know what the crime of bullying the king is?" ”

Chen Yu squinted.

Yin Xuan's fingers bent slightly, and he tapped the handle of the chair, he tilted his chin and looked at the woman standing there calmly, at that moment, she seemed to know everything.

Yin Xuan also touched the human skin mask, of course he knew that it was impossible for the human skin mask to appear in the palace, nor in Wang Yunyao's room.

Because of the conquest of many small countries in the Great Yin Empire, the inhabitants are more mixed, there are probably no less than 70 small country races, and they have brought a lot of various crafts to the Great Yin after entering the Great Yin, including the craft of manufacturing human skin masks, and the folk craftsmanship is diversified, but the palace has always followed the unique production method of the Great Yin Empire, such craftsmanship is not passed on, and outsiders basically will not.

If Chen Yu wants to frame Wang Yunyao, he will naturally not be stupid enough to buy what is sold by the outside world, what he takes is exactly what is used in the palace.

It's just that it has been transformed by people.

This human skin mask is made vividly, like the real one, only the royal craftsman will do it, and the royal craftsman is not everyone can be moved, in the harem, only the four concubines and the queen can be moved, and only the officials above the fourth grade can be moved in the previous dynasty, and it has to be the fourth grade, not from the four grades.

So, Ququ is the manager of Chunming Courtyard, how can he move, please move?

Chen Yu said: "What does Concubine Wan mean by asking?" Isn't it that Concubine Wan is suspecting the minister of bullying the king? ”

Nie Qingwan said: "It's not a doubt, it's an affirmation." ”

Chen Yu was annoyed and laughed coldly, now that she is loved by the emperor as a concubine, she is very confident, and she dares to say anything, but in this harem, just having the emperor's favor and no real power is useless, just like Ming Guifei, how can she be favored? It's not like I'm going to Shoutoku Palace.

Chen Yu said: "The minister just wants to ask Concubine Wan one sentence, slandering the minister of the court, do you know what the crime is?" ”

Nie Qingwan smiled lightly, glanced at Chen Yu, thinking that it was not unreasonable for the Chen family to be selected by Yin Xuan, everyone in the Chen family has a city, whether they are officials or queens, they are all dragons among people, but the dragon can soar the heavens and the earth, but it can't overturn the hands of heaven and earth, and he doesn't look at who the person standing in front of him is.

Nie Qingwan said: "Before entering the palace, I was familiar with a lot of Da Yin legal codes, if I remember correctly, slander the ministers of the dynasty, especially the meritorious heroes, and verify the truth, then deprive them of their household registration, take off all glory and meritorious deeds, erase their life deeds, expel Da Yin, and never forgive." ”

Chen Yu said: "What Concubine Wan said is word for word, but she is very proficient in the Great Yin Law Codex. ”

Nie Qingwan said: "So, I also know that if you bully the king, you will have to destroy the Nine Clans, is Lord Chen ready to destroy the Nine Clans?" ”

Chen Yu squinted at her.

Nie Qingwan also looked at him, and said slowly: "Where did this human skin mask come from, presumably Lord Chen will not say it, although I will not judge the case, and I have no power to restrain the chicken, but I am not a person who is easy to bully, let others frame him but be indifferent, I have heard that there is a Yan rebel Nie Sixteen in Da Yin before I joined Da Yin, and the case is divine, almost no case is solved, Lord Chen insists that he did not deceive the king, but I feel that you are deceiving the king, since you have your own rhetoric and do not give in to each other, it is better to let this person decide, I'm sure he'll be able to give a convincing answer. ”

When Chen Yu heard Nie Sixteen's words, his eyebrows sank fiercely.

Gong Yongqin felt that he was going around and around, and he actually turned back again, and he still had to ask Nie Bei to come out of the mountain.

After Nie Qingwan finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Yin Xuan.

Yin Xuan lowered his eyelids, not knowing what he was thinking.

Nie Qingwan walked over and said, "The emperor thinks that Lord Chen is slandering me, or am I slandering Lord Chen?" ”

Yin Xuan raised his head, there was no expression on Jun's face, but the pupils of his eyes were extremely black and deep, like a bottomless black hole, there was something hidden in it, no one could see it, and he only felt that it was extremely dangerous.

Ordinary people must be trembling when they look at him like this, their backs are cold, and their willpower is slightly worse, so they immediately kowtow and kneel, but Nie Qingwan did not kneel, she stood straight, and there was no fear on her face, she was calm and calm, and her beautiful eyes looked at him, like a galaxy in the universe, inclusive, warm, but with the power to destroy everything.

She was asking him, and she was provoking him.

She's dissatisfied, what's she dissatisfied? dissatisfied with him making her a concubine.

Yin Xuan stretched out his hand, pulled her to his side, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want me to use Nie Bei?" ”

Nie Qingwan said: "The emperor hasn't answered my words yet, who do you believe more?" ”

Yin Xuan said: "I only believe in the facts. ”

Nie Qingwan said: "Shouldn't the emperor use Nie Bei?" ”

Yin Xuan smiled, pulled her to her lap and sat down, raised her head, looked at Chen Yu, and said, "Yuan Yun, you still insist that this mask was searched from Steward Wang's house?" ”

As soon as the word Yuan Yun came out, Chen Yu knelt down with a frightened 'plop'.

He suddenly realized that he had done something wrong.

No, it's everyone who is wrong.

The emperor's mind has always been treacherous and alarming, what he is thinking and what he will do, no one knows.

Chen Yu clasped his head and said, "The minister is guilty." ”

Yin Xuan's expression was faint, and he stared at him lightly and heavily: "What crime?" ”
