Chapter 159: The Man in His Room

Ji Changye stayed in the outer room outside Song Qian's room all night, during which he didn't dare to relax at all, and always paid attention to the movements inside. Fortunately, Song Qian slept fairly peacefully this night and did not have an accident.

Changfeng came back from outside to find Ji Changye, and was very surprised to learn about this, so he hurriedly put on a thicker coat for Ji Changye and said, "Lord Wang, how can you be so careless about your body? The divine doctor said that you should not catch a cold, otherwise it will be an old disease." He knew that Ji Changye cared about Song Qian, but he couldn't ignore his body.

"I don't have anything important, let's not talk about it here, let's go back to the study, so as not to wake up Mrs. Song." Saying that, Ji Changye got up and stood firmly, and then walked out, it seemed that he couldn't hold on to a sleepless night.

Changfeng suddenly felt distressed and knew that he took care of others, and after following Ji Changye back to the study, he hurriedly added firewood to the stove to make it warmer, and went to pour hot tea and sent it to Ji Changye.

Seeing that his hands were blue from the cold, Ji Changye put the hot tea in Changfeng's hand: "You have to be cautious with this hand, don't be in a hurry, otherwise you will be ruined if you have chilblains." I'm fine, there's a stove in the outer room, but you've worked hard all night."

Looking at the hot tea in his hand, Changfeng felt that his heart was warm. But when he mentioned the results of his overnight investigation, Changfeng's face suddenly became ugly, with both anger and self-blame.

Sensing his strange appearance, Ji Changye guessed what was going on and asked, "Did something happen?" Tell me about it."

"Lord Wang, the subordinates investigated this matter because Xu Wenyan discussed it with the hypocrite surnamed Cheng. The subordinates originally wanted to arrest them and bring them to you, but because there is no evidence, and the identity of the surname Cheng is not simple, it is difficult to say whether there will be any accidents." A Xu Wenyan is easy to say, but Cheng Wenyu is not easy to deal with.

After all, everything is about evidence, and if there is no evidence, even if the emperor comes, he can't arrest people casually.

Ji Changye had already guessed this stumbling block, and he had a headache. At the moment, if you want to find evidence, I am afraid it will be even more difficult.

"Without evidence, you can't take them in." Ji Changye had to admit this fact.

"Lord Wang, is this the end of this matter? The person who was wronged is Song Niangzi, if these people don't teach a lesson, I'm afraid it will get worse next time." How could he watch the person who hurt Song Qian get away?

Of course, Ji Changye refused to give up, but this was really a helpless move, because now Cheng Wenyu has put Xu Wenyan on the bright side, and many people in the market know that Xu Wenyan did not die and returned to Sulou Town, and he and Song Qian are husband and wife. Although it is not known who spread the news, it is always bad for them.

After all, who cares about other people's family affairs?

"You continue to send people to keep an eye on Xu Wenyan and Cheng Wenyu, I'll figure out a way, this matter won't pass so easily." Although he can't teach the two of them any lessons openly, it doesn't mean that Ji Changye won't make them pay the price in secret.

Changfeng knew that his master was not bullied, and he trusted him very much, so he did what he said.

Ji Changye squinted his eyes as he looked at the tea that was stirred up in the tea cup. Determined to make Xu Wenyan and Cheng Wenyu and the instigator behind them pay a terrible price.

With the emperor's letter and support, Ji Changye intensified his investigation in the military camp, without any scruples about anything else.

And Ji Changye's decision was clearly seen by the eyeliner sent by the Queen Mother, and it quickly reached the ears of the Queen Mother.

"He still hasn't given up? That's what the emperor promised to the mourners!" The Queen Mother slapped the table angrily, and the people around her hurriedly knelt down, not daring to come out, for fear that they would become a punching bag.

Hearing this, the old eunuch Na Wei hurriedly stepped forward to appease the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, don't be angry, it hurts your body."

"Can the mourners not be angry? The more he is not allowed to investigate the affairs of the military camp, he wants to investigate, and the emperor is also facing the mourning family, so he doesn't take the mourning family in his eyes, and his wings are really hard one after another." If it goes on like this, it will be easy for Ji Changye to find out the truth of the year.

she

How can you ignore it?

"Queen Mother, the more you can't get angry at this time, you have to be calm to come up with a plan. Forgive the minions for talking too much, maybe Your Majesty misunderstood what you meant, thinking that you want Your Majesty to support the Prince Regent, why don't you talk about it again?"

The queen mother also knew that it was useless to be angry here now, and after feeling that what the eunuch said made some sense, she didn't delay and came to the emperor's upper study in a sedan chair.

"Mother, why are you here?"

The emperor was dealing with government affairs, and when he saw the queen mother coming, he hurriedly put down the fold in his hand and greeted her, and carefully helped her to walk in.

"How could you not know what the mourning family came for? You fell from the mourning family, don't you know what the mourning family is thinking in your heart?" The Queen Mother didn't have the heart to beat around the bush, and after letting the slaves and maids retreat, she spoke bluntly.

After seeing that his mind was exposed, the emperor's expression became a little more serious, and he took the lead and said, "Queen Mother, you don't need to persuade anymore, I think it's okay for the regent to investigate this matter, he wants to know what is his own business, as long as it doesn't endanger the government, why stop it?"

The Queen Mother knew that he would say this, and persuaded a little helplessly: "Emperor, why are you more confused the more you become an emperor? It's not you right now, I think it's right for Ye'er to intervene in the barracks, he wants to investigate what is right. But the onlookers, if they see the royal family being abused, isn't it a joke? Since you are the emperor, you should be thoughtful, not for your so-called righteousness."

The Queen Mother deliberately used this matter to hold the emperor hostage, she used to have so many in the past, and it was very effective, and this time was no exception.

The Emperor hesitated after carefully weighing the pros and cons.

"But the Lord Regent said that he just wanted to investigate a soldier, so it shouldn't be overstepping, right? Queen Mother." The emperor calmed down, and still wanted to fight for Ji Changye.

"My son, as an emperor, you should know that some people don't believe some things so easily, who knows what the truth is? It's like Ye'er told you that you were investigating a little-known soldier, maybe it was a big general who was investigating behind it? It's not that the mourning family doesn't trust Ye'er, it's that he grew up next to the mourning family since he was a child, how can he not know his character? Don't die in the face of people because of some things, and let down the people who are really good for you."

The hint of the Queen Mother's words was already very obvious, and the emperor naturally heard it, but he did not give an answer immediately, but said, "Queen Mother, I will seriously consider this matter. If there is nothing to do, I will have to deal with the excerpts, and there have been a lot of things in the court recently, so I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you."

The eviction order was so obvious that the queen mother had no choice but to leave, but she was still persuading the emperor before leaving, and it was bound to let the emperor stop Ji Changye.

After sending off the Queen Mother, the emperor was no longer in the mood to deal with official business.

He paced in the study, which gave the old eunuch who was accompanying him a great headache, so he opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, how do you solve this matter? Let's say it, don't hold it in your heart."

"I don't know what to do anymore, it's very difficult for me to be my queen mother on the one hand, and the children I watched grow up." The Emperor couldn't help but sigh heavily.

Because of the Queen Mother's words, he was also a little shaken at this time: "Maybe the Queen Mother is right, if I connive at the Prince Regent's investigation of things without boundaries, I am afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among other ministers and people. So, I'm wondering if I should leave this matter at that."

No matter what he says, he is also the king of a country, and everything must be considered by the overall situation, and sometimes he has to sacrifice some people or things, which is very compelling.

At this time, the old eunuch stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, there is nothing wrong with the Prince Regent, whether he really wants to investigate anything. The old slave has been by His Majesty's side for many years, and he has also grown up watching the Prince Regent with His Majesty, and he knows that the Prince Regent is not such a disproportionate person. What the prince wants to do must have his own plan, and besides, what happened back then was indeed a little strange, the prince lost his family at a young age, how easy is it to get to where he is today? Your Majesty attaches so much importance to the prince, how can you bear to watch him worry about what happened day and night?"

The old eunuch was next to the emperor when he was in the prince's mansion, and the emperor passed after so many years

The emperor trusted him very much, so as soon as he spoke, he wavered a little.

Seeing this, the old eunuch continued, "Besides, the regent is extraordinary, and what he did before has not been left behind, isn't Your Majesty still worried about the regent prince?"

"Yes, I trust the prince to do things. The queen mother was really worried about this, and after a while I wrote to the prince to go and investigate with my secret decree, so that no one could stop him." The emperor finally made up his mind.

Just as he was about to write a letter, he thought of something, and said to the old eunuch, "Then you go yourself. lest anyone with a heart do anything with the letter and disrupt the plan."

"Yes, the minion obeys." The old eunuch hurriedly knelt down to accept the order, and he was still very excited in his heart, because after so many years, he could finally see Ji Changye again, and see this child he watched grow up with, and he was also his former little master.

That's right, he used to do things in Ji Changye's grandfather's house when he was young, because Ji Changye's grandfather and young father treated him very well, so he kept his kindness in his heart, so much so that he left the mansion and came to the prince's mansion later, and he did not forget his kindness.

The emperor sent a few secret guards to follow the old eunuch to Sulou Town, and after learning about it, Ji Changye waited outside the house early.

When the two met, the old eunuch burst into tears, "Lord Wang, the slave finally saw you again, but the slave's wish was granted."

Ji Changye was very impressed by this old eunuch, and knew that he was a kind person, so he helped him into the courtyard regardless of etiquette.

"Why did you come here in person? It's a bumpy road, and people write letters."

"The slave came by His Majesty's holy decree to tell the prince. Your Majesty supports you in whatever you do, please feel free to do it boldly. If you encounter someone in the barracks who is willing to stop you, you can move out of His Majesty's secret decree to suppress it, so that those people will not dare to make a mistake. His Majesty was afraid that such important information would be tampered with, so he sent a servant to tell the prince in person."

After Ji Changye became clear, he seemed to have taken a reassuring pill.

Now, what he has to do will be natural.

The old eunuch greeted him a lot, and at this time, Song Qian came in from outside to deliver tea, she didn't recognize the identity of the old eunuch, thinking that she was Ji Changye's friend.

After seeing Song Qian's face, the old eunuch was very surprised.

Because he misunderstood that Song Qian was the person in Ji Chang's nightroom.
