Your official position is not high now, so even if you are involved, it is not painful. It's just that after the next dynasty, you need to pay attention, don't walk alone in the capital. Xiao Qinglang carefully advised.

This time, I am not afraid of anything else, lest someone will kill her because the body was inquest by Xu Chu.

Although the killing of court officials rarely happens in the capital, they have to be prevented.

In fact, just as Xiao Qinglang expected, in the early days, many people in the court and China wrote to demand the release of Dong Ruiyang. Even, some people even moved out of the old ministers of the former dynasty and the edict of the first emperor.

This turmoil almost overshadowed the panic of everyone when dozens of skeletons were found. Only Hua Xiang, who was thin and had not yet recovered, barely maintained his neutrality, but he did not very much agree with Xiao Qinglang's idea of wanting to investigate Dong Ruiyang's crimes.

Xiao Qinglang was dressed in a vermilion court dress, and among the many old ministers who were some of them were even over the age of sixties, they were conspicuous, and they probably stood out from the crowd.

In response to the repeated accusations of others, he did not move at all, and his extraordinary momentum did not restrain at all. It wasn't until the emperor on the throne opened his mouth to ask that he stepped forward and replied.

Xu Chu, who was standing in the sun outside the hall, couldn't see Xiao Qinglang's face, and only felt that the figure with his back to him was long and lofty. The autumn mood was slightly cool, and the scorching sun like fire also removed the heat, leaving the overflowing warmth in vain, which made Xu Chu slightly stunned when he looked at the figure in the shadow of the hall.

Like her, all the people in the court are now looking at Xiao Qinglang in unison. Before he had time to come forward to intercede for Dong Ruiyang, he was slightly happy in his heart. And some aggressive officials, at this time, in Xiao Qinglang's breezy and meaningful gaze, oozed cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, when the Three Law Divisions were investigating the case of Dong Ruiyang's murder of a girl from a good family, they inadvertently discovered that the old lady of the Dong family actually had an illegitimate child back then. Therefore, strictly speaking, Dong Ruiyang is not the only bloodline of the Dong family. Xiao Qinglang's expression was calm, his majesty was undiminished, and his momentum seemed to be innate.

And even a few officials who knelt on the side and begged the emperor to release them, but at this time, their hearts were like a flash of thunder, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

"In addition, there were ten unforgivable sins in the time of the Holy Patriarch, and among them were the sins of unrighteousness. Dong Ruiyang, in order to pursue selfish desires, indiscriminately killed innocents, and used the girl's virgin blood as medicine to induce alchemy. Xiao Qinglang glanced lightly at the two people kneeling beside him, Honglu Temple Qing and Taifu Temple Shaoqing, and said with a smile, "Now that the edict of the former emperor is mentioned, it is time to mention the last wishes of the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and write the ten unforgiven sins into the law." ”

"This ......" Honglu Siqing raised his head, glanced at Xiao Qinglang, and said hesitantly, "But the prince, even if you want to implement this law, there should be a saying that it comes first and comes first." Before the unforgivable sin is written into the law, Dong Ruiyang cannot be questioned! ”

"Oh, I don't know why he can't be questioned. Could it be that Master Wei thinks that Dong Ruiyang's life is more noble than the Holy Ancestor's admonitions? ”

The Holy Ancestor is the founding monarch, and his words and deeds are all the rules of the ancestors. For example, Xu Chu can enter the court as an official as a woman, if it were not for the precedent of the founding female general of the Holy Ancestor, I am afraid that it would be difficult to go to the sky.

As soon as Honglu Siqing was about to argue, he met Xiao Qinglang's dark and cold eyes, and he was immediately dumbfounded. He is not a fool, and he can see that this time Xiao Qinglang really wants to take Dong Ruiyang under the knife.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked at the emperor who had never spoken, but when he saw that the emperor's face was faintly revealing murderous intent, he immediately chuckled in his heart and hurriedly shut up.

Everyone in the court and the central government tacitly understood it at this time. First, they didn't expect that the emperor and King Jing'an would chew on the will of the first emperor. Second, there are people in the DPRK who are not used to the Dong family, and then they are angry with Dong Ruiyang, so it also makes some people who have interests related to Dong Ruiyang fearful. The most important thing is that the emperor's attitude is clear now, he wants to take Dong Ruiyang under the knife, and those who insist on interceding for Dong Ruiyang today will be treated by the emperor as the remnants of the Dong family......

The Dong family was defeated that year, although the first emperor did not purge the court, but he also killed a group of Dong family remnants. And the rest, for self-preservation, has long covered up their dealings with the Dong family, if they are dug up at this time, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not become the next Dong family.

Thinking of this, everyone's idea of wanting to protect Dong Ruiyang gradually went out. And what they were concerned about at this time naturally became how to prevent the emperor from promoting the unforgivable sin.

I have to say that the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty is really talented. Sure enough, the brothers are united, and the statement that it is profitable to break the gold is reliable. If at this time, the emperor and Xiao Qinglang have a little discord, I am afraid that it will leave a gap for those people to drill.

After the morning dynasty, Xu Chu walked outside the palace gate at sunrise. Maybe it's because of the fact that the outside examined her and looked at the body of the Lushan Courtyard, and it was spread again, which made people feel unlucky. Or, I feel that there is a difference between men and women, and I don't want to talk to her more, causing unnecessary trouble, in short, everyone subconsciously avoids her along the way. Only King Qi and a few people around him cared about her with a kind face, and the rest was Tang Qiaozheng and Sikong Han.

It's just that Tang Qiao was on official business with Sikong Han, so he couldn't stay longer, and after only saying hello to her, he left in a hurry.

Just when she walked to the Yujie Bridge outside the palace, thinking about going back to Dali Temple to show her face first, and then waiting for Xiao Qinglang to go to the Taoist Temple on the outskirts of Beijing together, she was suddenly caught off guard and was bumped into from the side of the Yujie Bridge.

Xu Chu staggered backwards, although the manpower that hit her was not big, but he couldn't stand her just half a foot in the air.

"Xiao Chu!" Xiao Qinglang had just said a few words to the emperor, and walked quickly towards the outside of the palace, when he saw Xu Chu's crumbling figure.

His pupils shrank suddenly, and he didn't have time to think and avoid suspicion, so he walked quickly to catch Xu Chu, who was about to fall off the Yujie Bridge.

Although it has attracted the attention of many people, it is finally in danger. This is the only way outside the palace to the main hall of the early dynasty and the hall of the council, and this Yusuke Bridge is also made of nine high and steep stone steps that symbolize dignity, if you fall, even if you don't hurt your muscles and bones, you will have to break your flesh and blood.

After stabilizing her figure, she held Xiao Qinglang's arm and looked at the visitor.

Compared with Xu Chu, Xiao Qinglang was more familiar with the people in the palace, he looked at the little eunuch who was kneeling on the ground cautiously and kowtowed, and after a long time, he frowned and asked, "Are you on an errand in the Yang Palace?" ”

"Yes, the slave maid is on an errand in the Yang Palace." The palace man was about to bury her head on the ground, although her posture was humble, her words were not too flustered, and it could be seen that she should be the old man in the palace. When she saw Xiao Qinglang asking, she didn't dare to hide it, and only after she explained the origin clearly, did she kowtow again and said, "I just unintentionally collided with the prince and the adult, and please forgive ...... sin."

It was a shame that most of the courtiers saw Xu Chu hiding far away, so that she was left last, so even though there was a slight movement, it did not alarm others. It's just that the Praetorian Guards on both sides looked over, and after seeing Xiao Qinglang questioning clearly, they didn't rush forward.

Xiao Qinglang's expression was cold, and after a while, he asked, "People from the harem are not allowed to come here, do you know?" ”

It's not that he deliberately embarrassed him, but that the Yang palace was close to the palace where his mother lived before her death, and the two palaces were only separated by a wall. Although Concubine De has lived in the palace and has never shown up again, he was also taken care of by the other party when he was a child.

Now that someone in Yang Uterus has recklessly found this place, he should be reminded of it.

When the palace people heard this, they hurriedly raised their heads, but when they met Xiao Qinglang's gaze, they were directly stunned on the spot, and they opened their mouths and didn't say anything for a long time. Even, Ben was not a hasty complexion, and at this time it quickly faded the color of blood. That look, as if she had seen something that shocked her, even if she had not trembled when she was questioned just now, she bowed directly in fear at this time.

Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu glanced at each other, and their hearts trembled.

The two of them knew very well in their hearts that although Xiao Qinglang did not walk in the harem every day, he also grew up in the palace since childhood. Later, after building a mansion outside the palace, he often entered the palace to ask the queen mother for peace, so it was common to see the housekeepers and maids around the concubines in the harem.

Therefore, the person who can make this housekeeper change her expression sharply is definitely not Xiao Qinglang. Right now, there is only Xu Chu, who has never appeared in the harem.

Without waiting for Xiao Qinglang to ask Xu Chu clearly, he saw another sweaty eunuch trotting over, and when he saw the kneeling grandmother, he hurriedly urged, "Mama, the queen asked you to invite the emperor to come over quickly, if it is late, I am afraid that it will ......."

When he ran to him and saw Xiao Qinglang, he hurriedly saluted, "The prince forgives the sin, the prince forgives the sin......"

The person who came was Liu Deshan, the eunuch in charge of the queen, looking anxious. Xu was worried that Xiao Qinglang would blame, so he hurriedly explained, "Concubine De was too frightened, and now it's a little bad, so the queen ordered the little ones to come and inform the emperor." ”

Although this was a bit abrupt, it did not prevent Xiao Qinglang from guessing with Xu Chu. If it weren't for the last resort, I was afraid that the queen would not have this arrangement. In this case, if they ask questions according to the rules of their ancestors, it will be a little unkind.

Thinking of this, the two of them didn't say anything more, and directly let Liu Deshan go over with the housekeeper. I don't know if it's an illusion, but when she was about to make a mistake, the grandmother also subconsciously glanced at Xu Chu.

After leaving the palace, the two of them went straight to the yamen. On the way, Xiao Qinglang asked, "Why don't you speak?" ”

"Didn't the prince ask knowingly, the palace people in the Yang Palace behaved so strangely today, I don't believe that the prince has no doubts in his heart." Xu Chu rolled his eyes, sighed and said, "It's just that why is she so shocked when she sees me?" ”
