The carriage was parked in an alley a few dozen paces away from the east gate, and the city gate could be seen, but it could not be seen at the city gate.

The wind outside the city gate was stronger, but fortunately, Ye Qianhuai was still wearing the cloak of Lu Yanchen.

Seeing Lu Yanchen get out of the car, Ye Tianhuai took off the cloak and returned it to him.

Lu Yanchen took a cloak and looked at her with a deep expression, and said, "What Your Majesty said, Weichen will keep in mind." But Weichen also has a word of persuasion. ”

"Sir, please."

"Your Majesty can't take such a risk in the future, not every time, you can happen to meet Weichen." Lu Yanchen said very seriously, after speaking, he thought about it, and said, "If Your Majesty must take risks, please be sure to tell Weichen in advance." ”

Ye Tianhuai smiled and replied, "Okay, the student should remember the teachings of Mr. ”

After that, she looked in the direction of Donglinmen, saw that there was no one, and turned back to Lu Yanchen and said, "I'm tired of Mr. today, I'm going back to the palace, Mr. should go back too." ”

The two saluted each other, and Ye Qianhuai went in the direction of Donglinmen.

As soon as Ye Tianhuai walked to the east gate, he saw Li Baoquan standing beside the guards guarding the door from a distance. He was pacing back and forth, and he could be seen to be anxious.

Seeing Ye Qianhuai, he hurriedly trotted over.

Ye Tianhuai saw that his eyes were bloodshot, and he hadn't slept much in the past two days, and his heart couldn't help but feel warm and a little guilty.

"It's back." Li Baoquan looked her up and down, and then led her straight into the door.

The guard at the east gate should have been greeted by him, and he didn't even look at Ye Tianhuai.

Ye Tianhuai followed Li Baoquan and walked a few steps inside, and subconsciously turned his head and glanced out the door.

Contrary to her expectations, under the dead tree on the side of Zhengde North Street, there was still a slender figure, holding the cloak in his hand, motionless looking at the direction of Donglinmen, even if he saw Ye Tianhuai entering the door safely, he had no intention of leaving.

After Ye Tianhuai was beaten by Li Baoquan, he returned to Jingshou Palace and was beaten by Aunt Fanghua again.

It's been a long time since she's been counted so many times in a day.

"You kid, how can you spend the night outside? Do you know how dangerous it is? Aunt Fanghua counted the numbers while changing Ye Tianhuai's clothes.

"No, auntie, I can do it myself." Ye Tianhuai took the ribbon from Aunt Fanghua's hand and tied the underwear himself, "You remember to dispose of the clothes I worn." ”

"Well, if there is a next time, I won't help you with sloppiness." Aunt Fanghua chattered while sorting out the clothes that Ye Tianhuai wore when she left the palace.

"No one has been looking for me in the past two days, has he?"

"Not really."

"It seems that there is a good thing about not having a sense of existence." Ye Tianhuai joked.

"You're still proud, you-" Aunt Fanghua's voice suddenly broke, her hand trembled, and the clothes in her hand fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty, where are you injured? Let me see. Aunt Fanghua suddenly turned around and was about to peel off Ye Tianhuai's newly worn underwear.

Ye Tianhuai was confused: "I'm not injured." ”

Aunt Fanghua saw that she didn't look like she was lying, so she picked up the clothes on the ground and rummaged through: "Then why is there blood on this clothes?" ”

"What did you say?" Ye Tianhuai was shocked when he heard this, and took the clothes from her hand.

There was indeed a small patch of blood on the gray cotton robe, which was not difficult to find, just on the outside of the right leg. Because it was dark, it was not noticed before.

Ye Qianhuai looked at the bloodstain and fell into deep thought.

"Could it be your menstrual ......?" asked Aunt Fanghua.

"No, this position, it can't be menstrual blood." Ye Tianhuai denied Aunt Fanghua's speculation.

This must have been rubbed somewhere.

But she's only been to one person today. This bloodstain was either rubbed on Lu Yanchen's sleeve when he carried her, or it was on the top of his cloak.

Being able to get on her body means that the blood has not dried up at that time.

Ye Tianhuai's suspicion about Lu Yanchen, which he had just dispelled, surfaced in his heart again-

What did Lu Yanchen do in the ghost market?

Early the next morning, Taihe Palace.

There are a lot of things in the first morning court after each rest, but now that the New Year is approaching, there are not many reports from various ministries, and there are even fewer that need to be discussed in the early court. Soon, the Taihe Hall fell silent.

At this time, Du Jing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, stood up and said to Ye Qianhuai: "Your Majesty, the prison of the Criminal Department was broken into three days ago. The ministers were incompetent, and although the thieves attempted to rob the prison, the criminal department failed to catch the robbers. ”

After Du Jing finished speaking, he knelt on the ground.

"Why did you report it three days ago?" Ye Qianhuai asked.

"Since the thirteenth year of Xingrui, there has not been such a big omission in the prison of the Criminal Department for 25 years. The minister originally wanted to catch the thief, find out the reason, and then come to His Majesty to ask for guilt. ”

Ye Qianhuai had already known about the robbery of the Heavenly Prison, but Du Jing said it in the court, it must not be just to ask for guilt, so Ye Tianhuai followed his words and asked: "The sky is as strong as gold, but thieves can come and go freely, how could such a thing happen?" ”

"This matter is exactly what Weichen wants to start His Majesty. There were only three thieves who robbed the prison, but there were some people in the prison guards who joined them out. ”

"Have you found out who it is?"

"It was found out that it was the prison chief on duty that day, and the person disappeared after the robbery. Your Majesty, the person who the thieves tried to rob this time was the criminal Wang Lisong who was locked up in the prison. This person is good at encouraging others with words, and there are many henchmen in Shengjing City, and Wechen is worried that such a thing will happen again. ”

After speaking, Du Jing kowtowed heavily on the ground and said, "The minister implores Your Majesty to resentence this person and behead him for public display, so as to deter the lawlessness of the rest of the party." ”

He spoke generously, but he had the posture of a loyal minister.

Ye Tianhuai didn't expect that the Heavenly Prison Robbery was actually robbed by Wang Lisong, and when she heard this name, for some reason, the figure of Lu Yanchen in black inexplicably flashed in her mind.

On the other hand, Ye Tianhuai was a little puzzled, what kind of sacredness was this Wang Lisong, who let these people bite him, exile was not enough, he had to be beheaded on the street.

She was about to open her mouth to refute Du Jing, but Chen Yuansi, who was standing at the head of the ministers, spoke first.

"Hasn't Wang Lisong already confessed his guilt and is going to be exiled? Why decapitation again? Your Majesty has just taken over the government, and you are going to make a big mess of prisons. What is this for? Where have you placed Your Majesty's holy name? ”

Chen Yuansi is sixty-seven years old this year, and he speaks slowly, but he has a faint majesty.

I have to say that he stepped forward at this time, whether it was for the party struggle or what, Ye Tianhuai was a little grateful to him.

When he spoke, Gu Shihai also stood up and said, "It is precisely because the majesty of the Son of Heaven is inviolable that Your Majesty should severely punish such bandits in the early days of the pro-government to set an example." Otherwise, everyone dares to follow Wang Lisong's actions and have no respect for His Majesty, how can they intimidate the people of the world in the future? ”
