Naturally, this matter is not something that Du Ruo can think clearly, and the things in the capital are no longer something that she, a person from Yuzhou, can easily understand, not to mention that it also involves the Hussar General's Mansion and the court, which will only be more complicated.

Du Ruo could only feel aggrieved for Ye Yuanzhou.

After waiting for less than half an hour, one of the chamberlains finally came out of it and said to the three people with a smile that the emperor was waiting in the imperial study to summon them and let them go into the palace with him.

Yang Tingshi looked flattered, honestly afraid, bowing and pretending, and simply treated the chamberlain as if he were his own superior.

In contrast, Ye Yuanzhou is a completely different kind of performance, he just bowed slightly, and as a greeting to the waiter, he stepped in.

This is not surprising, the most disdainful of the servants in the court are probably those generals, not to mention that Ye Yuanzhou is still the one who is especially rooted.

The chamberlain didn't mind much about Ye Yuanzhou's arrogance, he was obviously used to it, and he was not flattered by Yang Tingshi's respect.

In contrast, he was quite warm and polite to Du Ruo.

"Lord Du! I didn't expect us to meet again so soon! Du Ruo walked slowly, and the chamberlain followed her, and said to her with a smile on his face, "You may not remember, when you were in high school to explore flowers, I was the one who took you to the front of the temple!" ”

Du Ruo was stunned for a moment, to be honest, she really didn't have any impression, but when people said so, she didn't want to be too compromised, so she could only smile and arch her hand: "There is hard work!" ”

"Lord Du was made an official and went to Songzhou, but he didn't expect to be summoned into the palace again to face the saint so soon!" The chamberlain chuckled in a flattering tone, covering his mouth with his sleeve as he spoke.

His laughter was lower than that of ordinary women, but much sharper than that of ordinary men, and Du Ruo felt goosebumps rise when he heard it.

Just when he was thinking about not knowing how to respond, the waiter who was walking beside him was suddenly pulled by a force, and he staggered forward a few steps.

"You're here to lead the way, and you'll lead the way!" Ye Yuanzhou let go of the hand that was originally holding the shoulder sleeve of the inner servant, as if he had just grabbed something dirty, patted it on the robe, frowned and said to him.

The waiter was so pulled and dragged by someone coldly, and he was also startled, and he would have been annoyed a long time ago on weekdays, but when he saw that the person who pulled him was Ye Yuanzhou, he could only swallow the fire back into his stomach.

After serving a group of masters in the palace for so many years, what this chamberlain is best at is observing words and feelings, and he can see at a glance that Ye Yuanzhou is the kind of master who makes a trick to kill him, and he can beat the other party to death with one punch before he dies, and he is taken to the underworld as a companion.

So he walked obediently ahead, his pace quickened considerably, and he did not say a word again for the rest of the journey.

Du Ruo finally didn't have to say hello to the waiter anymore, he breathed a sigh of relief, and threw a grateful glance at him, Ye Yuanzhou saw it and hooked the corners of his mouth slightly.

At this hour, the emperor had already gone down to the court, so the three of them were taken to the imperial study, where the environment was quiet, and there was no one next to them except for a few waiters who stayed to serve.

Du Ruo and the others were announced into the imperial study, and behind the wide bookcase in front of them sat the current saint, about forty years old, in the prime of life, born with a great figure, and his appearance was majestic.

When the three of them entered the door, he was still holding a red pen and was reviewing the folds, and the left and right of the one that had been reviewed and the one to be reviewed on the desk were piled up like two hills.

Hearing the sound of someone coming in, the emperor raised his head and looked over, saw Ye Yuanzhou, and beckoned to him cordially: "The virtuous nephew is really a rare guest in this palace, the last time I saw you, but it was still your old lady's birthday!" ”

Ye Yuanzhou respectfully saluted the emperor, and did not dare to show the slightest excess, one board and one glance, so that people could not find faults.

When Du Ruo followed into the door, the emperor couldn't help but smile when he saw her.

"Isn't this my Tanhua!" He smiled heartily and stretched out his hand to point at Du Ruo, "You woman is really impressive!" I thought that it was already your great ability to take the test in the men's imperial examination.

I didn't expect to be put in Songzhou for such a short time, and you did a big thing again! ”

"Don't dare! Your Majesty is overrated, and Weichen is terrified! Du Ruo hurriedly greeted the emperor politely, "Weichen doesn't have that kind of ability, but he just happened to do his best and did a little favor to Ye Duwei and Lord Yang." ”

"Knowledgeable, capable, and humble, you're more of a malleable talent than some men." The emperor was quite satisfied with Du Ruo's self-humility, and looked at Ye Yuanzhou on the side, "How did the virtuous nephew evaluate Du Sima?" ”

"Du Sima is bold and careful, has excellent skills, and has a sincere heart for the people, which makes the ministers admire!" Ye Yuanzhou replied without thinking, and the words he said were sonorous and powerful.

The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "There are not many people who can make the virtuous nephew look at him." ”

Finally, after greeting both of them, the emperor finally remembered Yang Thorn Shi who was following behind.

Although Yang Tingshi is the most powerful of the three, and he is also the largest governor in Songzhou, but after arriving at the imperial study, he seemed the most restrained, restrained, and did not dare to breathe.

Despite this, there is such a big incident related to the boundary of Songzhou, and the person who reports this matter to the emperor still has to be his assassin.

So Yang Tingshi trembled and stated the whole thing, including the situation of Tang County Ling and others bleeding and dying violently on the way.

There were some parts in the middle that he didn't personally participate in, so they weren't clear, and Du Ruo also helped remind them at the right time.

When he heard the part where Tang Xian Ling and the others died violently at the end, the emperor's face was no longer very good-looking, and Yang Tingshi's cold sweat flowed down his forehead, wetting his goatee.

The fabric of the clothes on his back was even more soaked with sweat, and it was cold against his back, making him tremble involuntarily.

I thought that when I finished telling all this, the emperor would be furious and reprimand them for not doing things well, but I didn't expect that by the time Yang Tingshi really finished speaking, the emperor's face had eased a little, and it looked even more incomprehensible.

"Yang Tingshi, as far as you can see, who has the greatest credit in this case?" He opened his mouth and asked Yang Tingshi.

Yang Tingshi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, Du Sima and Ye Duwei have equal credit for this matter, if it weren't for the full cooperation of the two of them, I'm afraid that the minister would not be able to solve this matter until now."

Now, although the witness is dead and the clue is interrupted, if it weren't for them, not only would the trapped women not be rescued, but there is still no telling how many innocent women will be killed in Songzhou.

This matter has only been discovered until now, it is the dereliction of duty of the minister, and to be able to find out to this point, Du Sima and Ye Duwei have already contributed a lot! ”
