Chapter 449: Ancestor Worship Ceremony!

Chen Yuan, who left from Chunhua Palace, didn't know that Sima Ke had already made up so many things in his brain, this was simply slander and slander against him, how could he do such a thing?

His name is Chen Yuan, not Cao Yuan, and the prime minister's style has nothing to do with him.

After leaving Chunhua Palace, Chen Yuan pretended to search the harem carefully a few times, and when the ink was dark, he left the harem.

The truth was already very clear, but Chen Yuan couldn't say it, he could only use it to achieve his own goals, which could be regarded as a small compensation, and in the middle of the night, he contacted the rest of the Dao Masters through the Heavenly Book Treasure.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the place where Moro's predecessors were suppressed has been found!!"

This was Chen Yuan's transmission, and immediately after, one after another light in the Heavenly Book Space flickered and lit up.

"Well done!"

Li Suqing replied.

"Yes, we didn't misread you."

Chu Changfeng echoed.

It wasn't until Chen Yuan found the place where Moro's predecessors were suppressed at this moment that they were relieved, if they couldn't find it, even if they attracted all the attention of the court masters to other places, it was still useless, they were just sent to death in vain.

And now that they've found it, some of their arrangements can be quickened to the end, and it's sure to be foolproof.

"Where?"

Jiang He's voice was still cold.

"Cold Palace."

Chen Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Cold Palace?"

"It's here."

"Once you know the place, the rest will be easier to do."

Then, a few people said something about the ancestor worship ceremony in the Book of Heaven, and their tone was very solemn.

"Chen Yuan, for the rescue of Senior Moro this time, we will ask you."

"Be careful."

"Be careful..."

A solemn voice came out from the Book of Heaven, the tone was very resolute, Chen Yuan was a little silent for a while, the court worshiped the ancestors, there were countless strong people, how dangerous it was he could imagine.

Even if the strength of these Dao masters is very strong, it is still very dangerous, and it is very likely that he will fight for his life in order to buy him more time.

And once they show up, they want to leave.... Hard.

But these people are still very determined.

He hadn't met the Moro senior, and he didn't know what kindness he had to them, or how much charm he had to make these momentary heroes rescue him at any cost.....

"I'll do my best."

Chen Yuan replied solemnly.

Not to mention that the Dao Divine Palace has helped him many times, and now it is time to repay the debt, just because he wants to trace his life experience, he can't do without the help of this Moro senior.

There are some risks to take, but they have to be done.

They each told some things, and the discussion was over.

And Chen Yuan also put away the Book of Heaven and fell back into cultivation.

Shi Dan Xiuwei was still a little too weak in front of these people, so weak that they couldn't even regard Chen Yuan as the main force, and just handed over the heavy task of rescuing Moro to him.

......

......

After a night of silence, Chen Yuan opened his eyes early, and after eating in the mansion, he didn't delay too much, and went to the Eastern Imperial City Division to inspect according to the same trajectory as usual.

The ancestor worship ceremony is approaching, it is stupid to be unusual, and the best thing is to be the same as usual, and because this matter is coming, I can keenly perceive that the imperial city seems to have been mobilized.

It was to prepare for this ceremony.

The triennial ancestor worship ceremony is not unusual, it has happened dozens of times in previous years, because most people do not associate this incident with other things.

The mind is very peaceful.

Of course, that doesn't mean they don't take it seriously.

Maybe in the eyes of those important ministers of the court, this matter is just a formality, but for ordinary officials, a little mistake,

It's a big deal to lose your head.

After staying in the Eastern Imperial City Division for a while, without waiting for Chen Yuan to do other things, Jingtai's word came again, summoning him to the imperial study to meet him.

He knew that if nothing else, it should be about the death of Concubine Shu.

It's just that unexpectedly, Jingtai seems to be in a hurry.

Chen Yuan was reluctant to take the initiative to report before, just waiting for Jingtai's summons, and then covering up the past, he thought that Jingtai might mention this matter after the ancestor worship ceremony.

I didn't expect that it was only the second day, and the other party was anxiously urging.

Could it be....

Jingtai really doesn't know?

He didn't think so.

With all kinds of thoughts in his heart, Chen Yuan came to the imperial study of the palace again, and after passing through the ceremony, he saw Jingtai and Cao Zhengxian, which was almost no different from yesterday.

Jingtai was still fiddling with something with an indifferent face, while Cao Zhengxian was waiting on the side.

"Smack."

Hearing the voice of Chen Yuan coming, Jingtai casually put down the paintbrush in his hand and raised his head to stare at Chen Yuan.

"Wechen see Your Majesty."

Chen Yuan bowed and said.

"Flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chen Yuan raised his head calmly.

Jingtai asked casually: "I heard from the people in the palace that Chen Aiqing went back very late yesterday and didn't go to the harem again today, did you find something?" ”

Chen Yuan's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly said:

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen did find out something."

"Tell me...."

"Weichen thought that Concubine Shu's fall into the water should be an accident."

Jingtai frowned:

"Accidents? That's your answer? ”

"Yes." Chen Yuan nodded respectfully, and then said:

"The lady concubine often admires the moon in the attic, and the palace maid is not allowed to follow, the starry sky is dim on the day of the fall into the water, and the night is too dark, and she accidentally stepped on the empty water and fell into the water.

As for the two palace maids.... They had been ordered by Concubine Shuniang before not to rush up to the attic and disturb her Yaxing, and Weichen deduced that it was precisely because of this,

caused the lady to fall into the water and die. ”

"Anything else?"

Jingtai asked indifferently.

From these obscure words given by Chen Yuan, it has been shown that Concubine Shuniang died in the process of stealing people, and this matter has been colluded for a long time.

However, it seems that he is not satisfied.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Yuan knew that he had to reveal something to Jingtai, otherwise he would still be a little ineffective in his eyes, so he immediately said:

"Weichen also smelled a faint smell of dragon incense ink on the corpse of Concubine Shuniang, but Concubine Shuniang has always been quite proficient in the way of calligraphy and painting, and there is nothing abnormal about this matter."

Speaking of which, Chen Yuan basically told most of the clues, that is, directly pointing to several princes in the palace, and if he continued, he could only reveal Sima Ke.

He estimated that with Jingtai's brain, he was enough to deduce something.

Jingtai's gaze stared at Chen Yuan very calmly, and the atmosphere in the imperial study seemed to have completely solidified, and the huge pressure instantly shrouded Chen Yuan's body invisibly.

If it weren't for the fact that he still had some city government, he would have panicked under this pressure alone, and then completely told the whole thing, but like that,

I'm afraid that it will not only make Jingtai angry with him, but also leak the ban on the waist card.

A foreign minister, threatening the concubine to get a ban on free access to the harem, what do you want to do?

Thinking about it casually, he also knew that Chen Yuan's mind was not right.

It's not that Chen Yuan deliberately protects Sima Ke, he actually wants to kill this guy, but the situation is in front of him, he can't do it, and he has to be involved in it.

Besides, with this guy's black material in his hand, if he really has any plans in the future, he can control this person.

It's just that he thinks he shouldn't need this guy....

After a long time, Jing Tai slowly retracted his gaze and said lightly:

"I see."

"Since this matter has been decided, there is no need to investigate it again, all the palace maids around Concubine Shu will be executed to set an example, and the body of Concubine Shu will also be buried..."

Jingtai sat down slowly, his fingers constantly tapping on the table.

"Wechen obeys."

Chen Yuan bowed.

It's just a pity that the two palace maids, even if they are very cooperative in finding out the truth, they still have to die. Because sometimes, the truth doesn't matter, not even the royal face.

Thinking about it now, I'm afraid that another palace maid who has never begged to bypass from beginning to end has already anticipated her fate, so she will not say a word and let it be tortured.

"A few days later, it will be the ancestor worship ceremony, and after Chen Qing has dealt with this matter, he will >>

[Reading updates load slowly, there are ads, chapters are incomplete, please exit Reading and read!] 】

Let's go back and get ready. ”

Jingtai said lightly.

"Yes, Wechen obeys."

"Stand down."

"Wechen retired."

Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, stared at the ground, and slowly left from the imperial study.

After he left about ten breaths, Jingtai's eyes stared at the teacup in front of him and asked softly:

"What does Cao Qing think of what Chen Yuan said?"

Cao Zhengxian hurriedly said:

"Commander Chen's ability to do things is still trustworthy, since he said so, presumably.... The death of the lady lady was an accident. ”

Jingtai sneered:

"The breath of dragon incense ink, Cao Qing, who in the palace do you say is qualified to use dragon incense ink?"

Cao Zhengxian naturally knew what Jingtai was talking about, and said in a low voice:

"Maybe someone deliberately planted it."

Chen Yuan understands the truth, how could Cao Zhengxian not know?

He has a very high status in the palace and is an old minister of several dynasties, but it is natural to avoid the scandals of the royal family.

Jingtai: "Chen Yuan is a smart person. ”

As Chen Yuan guessed, did Jingtai really not know that there was something wrong with Concubine Shu's death?

No, he knows.

Not only did he know, but he also knew that it must be an ugly thing, so he ordered Chen Yuan not to show it, and his eyes had already been suspicious of several princes.

Especially.... Sima Ke.

With the emperor's means, it is not too easy to find out about something.

But he still pretended not to know.

The purpose is similar to what Chen Yuan guessed before, one is to block those leisurely mouths, the second is not to publicize it, and the third is to see if Chen Yuan is a person who knows how to measure.

If the scandalous affair of a certain prince and concubine is really made public, it proves that Chen Yuan is not a smart person, lacking.... A sense of reverence for royalty.

Such a person, no matter how talented he is, is not worthy of cultivation by the imperial court.

Fortunately, Chen Yuan knew the severity, and not only said the general outline of the matter, but also never mentioned the slightest ugly matter, and handed over the initiative to him to deal with.

Such a person, if he is well cultivated, will be a good horse for the Sima family in the future.

"Commander Chen is indeed smart."

Cao Zhengxian echoed.

"Do you think... How about marrying Pingyang Xu to Chen Yuan? Jingtai said with a twinkle in his eyes.

The best way to win over Chen Yuan and consolidate his loyalty to the Sima family is to make him a relative of the emperor, even if he is promoted to the rank of knight, he is lagging behind.

Only when he truly becomes his own person can he cultivate with confidence.

"This...."Cao Zhengxian squinted.

"What, Cao Qing has a different opinion?"

"The old minister just thinks something is not right."

"Huh?"

"Chen Yuan is indeed a genius in the world, rare to see in a hundred years, but Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang is also the treasure in the palm of His Majesty, and she has a stubborn personality, so she is married to Chen Yuan.

I'm afraid it will be reluctant, and this Chen Yuan is cruel and ferocious, it is inevitable that there will be conflicts with His Royal Highness Pingyang, and the most important thing is that Chen Yuan still has a family in Tangshan, and he especially likes women.... Princess Pingyang is the most taboo about this matter..."

Jingtai took a deep look at Cao Zhengxian and said in a low voice:

"In that case, then this matter will be discussed in the future."

"Your Majesty."

A faint smile appeared on Cao Zhengxian's face.

Because of Yang Yuanqing's incident before, he can be regarded as having some small grudges with Chen Yuan, although he will not be able to calculate him by bullying the small, but sometimes he can still do it.

Chen Yuan is a person who belongs to the Heaven Survey Division, and he is valued by those guys, he doesn't want Chen Yuan's status to be even higher, but he also knows that this matter is not something that he can stop by talking.

If Jingtai insists on this, then it is useless for anyone to say.

"I heard that the people of the Imperial Prison Department have caught a few restless guys recently?"

Jingtai said suddenly.

"I have indeed caught a few recently, Your Majesty, you also know that whenever a major event such as the ancestor worship ceremony is approaching, some demon thieves will always want to make trouble."

"How?"

"He has been pressed into a prison and is being interrogated."

Jingtai's gaze became solemn:

"The ancestor worship ceremony is not trivial, you must be cautious and careful, no turmoil can happen, and you can have a good trial of those guys, if you can know some plans in advance, it is the best."

"The old minister understands."

"Hmm.... If they don't say it, they will be tortured, and if they don't say it, they will be castrated, so that they will not be men, and they will become things that are neither men nor women. ”

Jingtai stared at Cao Zhengxian with a smile in the corner of his eyes.

Hearing this, Cao Zhengxian, who had a wrinkled smile on his face, suddenly stiffened and nodded curtly.

He understood, it was Jingtai who was also beating him....

......

......

Leaving the palace, Chen Yuan took people straight to the harem to settle the case of Concubine Shu, Jingtai spoke, so naturally he did what he wanted, Concubine Shu's death was an accident, and this matter must be closed and conclusive, and no one should question it.

At the same time, he buried the body of Concubine Shu, completely sealed this matter, and then took a few palace maids to vent his anger, and the matter ended logically.

As for whether Jingtai thought of Sima Ke's body, it had nothing to do with him, even if he knew that Sima Ke had crossed the line and colluded with Concubine Shu, he would never do anything at this juncture.

Besides, without the child in the womb of the concubine, there is no ironclad evidence.

In order to better control the four princes and Yang Guifei, Chen Yuan directly sent Tao Qingyuan to secretly take out the unformed dead baby in Concubine Shu's belly and put it somewhere.

If Sima Ke is crucified in the future, this thing is ironclad evidence!

Sima Ke in the harem finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news that the matter had been settled, and at this moment, he no longer bothered about whether Chen Yuan had anything to do with his mother and concubine.

Even if there were, he couldn't do anything.

It's a blessing to be able to manage yourself.

Again....

The mother concubine has been absent for a long time, Chen Yuan is young and strong, who suffers is not necessarily....

After solving the case of Concubine Shu, Chen Yuan no longer stepped into the harem, which made Yang Guifei, who was originally staring at Chen Yuan, a little suspicious, she still thought that Chen Yuan wanted a harem ban What secret, could it be that she thought too much?

After that, everything was developing in a better place, and all those Dao Masters of the Dao God Palace had already come to the capital, and everyone agreed to meet in Chen Yuan's Earl's Mansion the day before they agreed.

Time passed day by day, and the previous things about Chen Yuan's breakthrough and Dongying warriors in the capital were rarely mentioned, and they were replaced by new major events in the rivers and lakes.

For example, the Fengyun list has changed again, and how big is the gap between the top three of the new Qianlong list and the previous one.

For example, two Huayang real people fought somewhere, and several mountains collapsed.

For example, the Northern Barbarians knocked on the gate again.

He also took advantage of the time of the Great Jin Dynasty to worship his ancestors, which brought great losses to the border.

And Chen Yuan also fell into silence completely, while practicing, while waiting for the arrival of the ancestor worship ceremony, and at the same time, he was also preparing for this matter.

In fact, his duty is very simple, that is, at the beginning of the ceremony, he and several other imperial city commanders will do a good job of perimeter protection, and then.... Basically, there is nothing else.

The real defense must still be the palace guards and martial arts powerhouses.

But in the past few days, a gossip spread from the palace, saying that the emperor intended to accept Chen Yuan as his son-in-law and marry the eldest princess Pingyang to him.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately surprised the hearts of many people.

After being surprised, it was just a casual joke, no one in the capital knew that the eldest princess was the most fierce and assertive, and such a thing as marriage would never happen to her.

At the beginning, Jingtai promised Pingyang, as long as she was unwilling, Jingtai would not force it in marriage.

This is the first time among all the princesses, and it is the only one who has this honor.

Because of this, many people don't think this can be trusted.

Even, Chen Yuan thought so, and after learning from Tao Qingyuan's mouth, he just smiled, and then stopped paying attention to it and focused on cultivation.

He himself is not interested in becoming Jingtai's son-in-law, I believe that Princess Pingyang also thinks the same.

Just as people think, Princess Pingyang has not released the slightest clarification, and it seems that she does not pay attention to this kind of thing.

There is only one person who really cares, and that is Sima Ke, the fourth prince.

When he heard about it, his first reaction was no.

Binh Duong is his own imperial sister.

The concubine was his own mother.

How could such a thing happen?

He will never allow ....

Obviously, Sima Ke misunderstood something, he had seen Chen Yuan's eyes looking at his mother before, it was simply unscrupulous, if there was a chance to take it,

How can you not make some excessive demands?
