"Yan Shangshu is here?" An unfamiliar voice came, Yan Shangshu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he lifted the curtain and came out, and when he saw the waist card flashing by the comer, the annoyance in his eyes suddenly disappeared, and he turned around: "Lord Lu, please wait for a while." ”

Lu Du Yushi didn't know why, he just thought that he was on official business, and he didn't stop him, and said with a smile: "Naturally, Yan Shangshu will do it." ”

After a while, Yan Shangshu entered with a smile and said, "The emperor now has seven points of belief in the rebellion of His Royal Highness, and this fight of His Second Highness is right." ”

"Oh? Why did Lord Yan say this? Lu Yushi did not doubt that he had him, and asked happily. Most of the big stone in my heart also fell.

"His Royal Highness heard that His Royal Highness the Second and Third Highnesses had entered the palace, so he went to see the emperor, the emperor seemed to be furious, and he didn't want to listen to a few people's arguments. Yan Shangshu said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, then it seems that there will be nothing to do, it is really thanks to Lord Yan and His Royal Highness's acquaintance, otherwise how could there be such timely news, it is really timely rain." Master Lu said with a smile.

"Brother Lu is polite, I really bothered Brother Lu today, in this way, I don't know ...... this official plans to meet His Highness in person" Yan Shangshu asked with a smile.

Lord Lu's heart moved slightly, he wanted to befriend His Highness for not a day or two, but he had been hesitating whether to choose the second or third Highness, so he missed the opportunity, but he forgot that it was the best way to make friends with His Highness, but he had little intersection with His Highness, and he dared to go, I am afraid that it would cause boredom, and it would be better to ......

"Brother Yan, please take it, and I hope that Brother Yan will say a few good words for the younger brother." Master Lu smiled and arched his hand, and this sentence was more and more polite when Brother Yan called.

"Brother Lu is polite. Then this official ordered someone to send Brother Lu back to the house first? Yan Shangshu said with a smile.

"Don't bother, don't bother, the official's carriage is behind, Brother Yan, please." Master Lu got out of the carriage with a smile, said goodbye to Yan Shangshu, and then got into the carriage of his own house and headed in the direction of the Inspectorate.

Yan Shangshu watched Lord Lu's carriage drift away, the smile on the corner of his mouth froze on his face, the emperor was furious, and wanted to be held responsible, now it can only be like this, Lord Lu, this official will remember your good.

"Keep moving." Yan Shangshu said in a low voice, turned around and went back to the carriage, and did not come back to his senses for a long time. While he was worried and worried, a shrill voice came from outside.

"But the carriage of Lord Shangshu Yan of the Criminal Department?"

"What's wrong again?" Yan Shangshu frowned and lifted the curtain and asked.

When he saw the visitor, he was shocked in his eyes, and hurriedly got off the lane: "I've seen Grandpa Xia." ”

"Yan Shangshu, the emperor decreed that Yan Shangshu should enter the palace immediately." Father-in-law Xia said expressionlessly, this Yan Shangshu looked very pleasing to the eye above the court, but now the more he looked at it, the more uncomfortable it became, and when he thought of the bloody scene, Father-in-law Xia only felt sick to his stomach.

"Yes, this official is also about to enter the palace to plead guilty. This ......" Yan Shangshu said in a low voice, with a somewhat flattering look on his face.

It's just that Grandpa Xia didn't want to say much, and said in a deep voice: "Since that's the case, Yan Shangshu please." ”

After speaking, he turned around and got into the sedan chair, and walked unhurriedly in the direction of the palace. Yan Shangshu smiled and maintained a saluting posture, and when he saw the sedan chair take a few steps, he cursed secretly: "Dead gelding, let's go!" ”

The carriage followed behind the sedan chair, not daring to overtake it easily, although Yan Shangshu had a hundred kinds of dissatisfaction, but he did not dare to offend this popular man in front of the emperor.

And in the palace, Bai Guifei was also in a bad mood.

"The emperor's people from the Criminal Department, the Inspectorate, and the Dali Temple entered the palace to seek justice for Shangguan Jinrong!" Ning Chu asked angrily.

"This, I'm afraid so." The palace maid who replied cautiously replied that her status in this Jiaofang Hall was not high, and she didn't dare to have any face to this Aunt Ning Chu, and she looked submissive.

"Ning Chu" Bai Guifei said slowly, although she was a little dissatisfied, but she was much calmer than Ning Chu, "You go down." ”

"Xie Guifei Niangniang" The palace maid breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly walked out of the inner room.

Bai Guifei smiled lowly and said: "After all, it is a child with high hopes, and the emperor is reluctant." It's that this Yan Shangshu started too quickly, but it was bad. ”

"But Niangniang ...... now," Ning Chu asked with a frown.

"It seems that this step is still to be taken. Prepare for your life like a dream. Bai Guifei said with a smile, her eyes did not fluctuate at all, what she wanted was the imperial power of this Heavenly Dynasty, and she wanted Shangguan Yu to only have herself in her eyes, and her patience over the years had almost reached the limit. She watched Shangguan Ruian get married and have children, but she couldn't see the love for her in the emperor's eyes. Seeing that Xia Yunsheng, who is seven points similar to Shangguan Ruian, has been favored by Shangguan Yu, but his own Xiang'er is a prince who has been excluded from imperial power.

It's ridiculous, after so many years, I can't get what I want. Then let the palace fight.

"Yes, master." Ning Chu said in a deep voice, and there was a faint murderous intent rising between his eyebrows.

"How are Chu Yao and Cheng Yu preparing?" Bai Guifei asked in a low voice.

"I'm still preparing, Niangniang still needs to ...... now" Ning Chu was a little worried in her heart, the eldest princess was pregnant, and it was inconvenient to bump outside, and she was even more worried that she would hurt her fetal gas if she didn't take care of her. Calculate that no matter how manpower is sufficient, it is still a little different from that in the palace. The concubine Niangniang looks at the princess and the child in her womb like this, if there is a mistake, I am afraid that ......

"Well, continue to prepare, ...... now" Bai Guifei pondered for a moment and said, "Wait for the palace to inform." ”

"Yes, sissy." Ning Chu said in a low voice.

"Let Ruhan enter the palace tomorrow, and some things can only be relieved after talking to her in person." Bai Guifei said in a low voice. Although Rumeng's ability is outstanding, it is better to check the matter involving Gu poison in person.

"Yes, the slave will arrange it." Ning Chu said in a low voice.

"Well, go ahead." Bai Guifei raised her hand and said, closed her eyes and closed her eyes, her heavy breathing indicated that Bai Guifei was in a bad mood, Ning Chu looked at Bai Guifei's seemingly calm face worriedly, and bowed down. Leave this cold inner chamber to this lonely woman.

-Imperial Study-

"Yan Ji, Jinrong was tortured by you?" Shangguan Yu lowered his eyebrows and asked, as if there was something very important in the performance, and he didn't look up to see Yan Shangshu's respectful appearance, and his tone was calm so that Yan Shangshu couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Yan Shangshu paused for a moment, then immediately made a decision, knelt in front of Shangguan Yu in fear, and said earnestly: "Please forgive the emperor, Weichen failed to stop Lord Lu, resulting in the second highness being punished by the criminal law, Weichen knows that he is guilty, please punish the emperor." ”

"Oh? Have I ever said you are guilty? Shangguan Yu asked with a chuckle, his gentle attitude seemed to not mind Jinrong's injury.

"The emperor did not order an interrogation, and Weichen and Lord Lu and Lord Yuan interrogated His Royal Highness privately for one crime. The emperor did not convict the Second Highness, but Lord Lu ordered the punishment, but Weichen did not dissuade him in time, but the Second Highness was punished, and his crime was two. did not deal with it in time after the incident, and only thought of asking for guilt after the third highness and Princess Yunshang picked up the second highness, and the third sin. The minister is the secretary of the criminal department, and he really doesn't dare to deal with it properly, so he asks the emperor to punish him. Yan Shangshu said in a low voice.

"That's how the Criminal Department interrogates prisoners?" Shangguan Yu asked in a low voice.

"Back to the emperor, this is not the case, the Criminal Department has always handled cases according to evidence, and there is no torture to extract confessions." Yan Shangshu said with a righteous face.

"Oh, that's all Ruda's idea?" Shangguan Yu raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Wei Chen failed to admonish, please forgive the emperor." Yan Shangshu knelt down and bowed. The forehead touched the smooth floor, and the marble place was painful, and the forehead turned red in an instant.

"As the secretary of the criminal department, he failed to persuade his colleagues, fined him for three months, and Lu Da of the Inspectorate used the criminal law indiscriminately, disregarded the emperor's prestige, and was demoted to the rank of governor of the imperial history, and fined for one year." Shangguan Yu raised his eyebrows and said, as soon as these words came out, Yan Shangshu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that this judgment is right. If you don't find a scapegoat, I'm afraid you won't be able to get through this hurdle. However, why is there no punishment from Yuan Chengxin, he has already come? Still is? That's it.,In short, I'm just fined for three months.,It's okay to do something.。

"Thank you"

"Let's go down," Shangguan Yu said, waving his hand.

"Yes, Weichen retreated" Yan Shangshu bowed and retreated, and Father-in-law Xia did not send it off, originally, Father-in-law Xia was a close minister of the emperor's side, and these punishments naturally could not be sent by him personally. And it was sent to the outside of the temple gate by Xiao Dezi.

Jinqi and Yunshang in the study looked at Yan Shangshu's distant figure and frowned secretly.

"This Yan Ji is really an old fox, and he is the most fierce person in the criminal department, how can he be so innocent?" Yunshang asked sarcastically.

"Rest assured, he'll get what he deserves." Jinqi said coldly, with a cold smile on the corner of her mouth.

What are the benefits of mastering the Scars? Jinqi originally thought that the biggest benefit was to protect Yunshang and Concubine Duan, but now he thinks that there is another benefit, which can give Yunshang anger. To make the future princess unhappy is to make the palace unhappy, this Yan Shangshu wants to move him for more than a day or two, but he is worried that his father will be involved in the battle for the heir, so he is temporarily stranded. It seems that the time has come. Then it's really your honor to please Shang'er.

Yunshang looked at Jinqi's sneering appearance with a blank face, although she didn't know what it was, she always felt that Jinqi would solve it, and she was always inexplicably relieved and expectant.

"You two come out." Shangguan Yu called in a low voice.

"Father, Uncle"

"The affairs of Miaoyin Pavilion are handled by the third child personally, with the assistance of the Grand Commander, and there must be no mistakes." Shangguan Yu said in a deep voice.

"The retainers obeyed." Jinqi respectfully returned.

"Uncle, the side concubine of the Eight Princes......" Yunshang said in a low voice, among these alliance leaders of the Miaoyin Pavilion, this Qi Rumeng has the most special status, he is in charge of the entire Eight Princes' Mansion, and his status is not bad, if he can start with her, he may be able to get twice the result with half the effort.

"No," Shangguan Yu stopped, "The eighth brother has just passed away, and the Eighth Prince's Mansion cannot be moved." ”

"But ......" Yunshang still wanted to persuade, but was interrupted by Jinqi: "What my father said is extremely true, but this person has the highest status in the Miaoyin Pavilion, and at the same time, recently, Tianji found that there was something unusual in the Eight Princes' Mansion, and after investigation, Qi Rumeng ordered people to continue to repair the palace, and this decoration has been carried out for three years. It only took one year for the palace to be repaired, and three years was really suspicious for the Eight Princes' Mansion. ”

"Do you suspect that the Eighth Prince's side concubine is secretly plotting against him?" Shangguan Yu frowned and asked.

"Exactly, so the son-in-law and the royal sister of Yunshang have the same opinion, and ask my father for permission to check the eight princes' side concubines Qi Rumeng first." Jinqi said in a low voice.

If it was just Yunshang's selfishness, and he wanted to end the inquiry quickly, Shangguan Yuwan would not agree, starting from the other alliance leaders, although it took some time, but the results would always be found. But Jinqi's words were different, justified and well-founded, and even made Shangguan Yu believe that there was a conspiracy in Miaoyin Pavilion. These Shangguan Imperial Authorities will not be ignored.

"Quasi," Shangguan Yu said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Father."

"Well, you two should go back too, so you can rest." Shangguan Yu looked at Yunshang with concern, that look was really, too similar.

Yun Sheng felt Shangguan Yu's penetrating gaze, and his heart shook slightly, and he turned his head and said, "Uncle Xie"

Does the uncle like his mother's affairs, do the harem concubines know? Does the Queen know? Does grandmother know? The most important thing is, mother, do you know?
