Mrs. Zhang has been serving in Qizhou, why did he suddenly appear here, or like this?

The emperor and the queen mother are-for-tat, and the courtiers are gradually divided into two factions, if they just sit together to eat and talk and laugh, it is okay, at this moment Zhang Taifu appeared like this, and the peace on the bright side was instantly broken.

The atmosphere in the main hall was almost tense.

The color difference of the queen is extreme, and only Li Yan is the only one in the entire Weiyang Palace who smiles slightly.

The clay pot was placed in the middle of the main hall, Zhang Xiangxin was obviously still alive, and when he saw the queen mother, he burst into tears.

He breathed violently, his throat choked, and his eyes clearly meant to ask for help, but unfortunately he was sealed by something, unable to speak, and could only make a whimper of unknown meaning.

Chen Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is the Queen Mother's person, and when he saw this, he arched his hand and said: "The emperor held this dinner for the Queen Mother's blessing, and now he is being hit by the bloody atmosphere, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”

"Working hard for the country, how can I be afraid of blood, besides, the Queen Mother has always been concerned about the temple and the people, and even Fang Cai has not forgotten to teach me, how can I slack off?"

Li Yan's emotionless voice echoed in the Weiyang public, making it impossible to hear his joys and sorrows, but even so, no one dared to move for a while.

The high hat of loving the country and the people, he was detained to death for the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was passive everywhere this time, and she couldn't even say a word of rejection, so she took advantage of the tea break to give a look to the Ministry of Rites.

Chen Xiao understood, and saluted again: "In this case, the old minister has something unclear, and I ask the emperor to solve his doubts." ”

Chen Aiqing said bluntly.

"The emperor only sent someone to check the disaster relief of Taifu Zhang five days ago, Taifu has lived in Qizhou for a long time, and Qizhou is thousands of miles away from here, and it will take more than four days to go back and forth, according to the normal regulations, it should not be ...... today ...... should not be "

The Ministry of Rites was stuck for a long time and didn't know how to describe it most appropriately, and finally his expression was complicated, and he simply said: "You shouldn't appear on the main hall with this look." ”

"That's right, I only released the news five days ago, but if it weren't for the conclusive evidence, how could I arrest the former ministers at will?"

Li Yan hooked his lower lip as if he was nothing: "The jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites has nothing to do with the Jingzhao Division, but even you know that Qizhou is far away, and it is impossible to catch people at the normal speed in five days." The wind is always faster than my legs, what if I don't start in advance and am run away by the traitorous ministers who are causing trouble? ”

Chen Xiao was stunned, in a cold sweat.

He had nothing to say.

As long as the embezzlement of disaster relief money is conclusive evidence by the emperor, then he can only become an outcast.

- Even if the money is greedy for the Queen Mother.

"Zhang Xiangxin, since he was appointed as Taifu, has lived in Qizhou for many years. Qizhou has a special location, the river hangs high, three years ago the embankment burst once, the flood was raging, Zhang Taifu was responsible for disaster relief and repair.

"There was another disaster this year, but the money has not yet been allocated, but Rao is like this, and the money that has disappeared from the hands of Mrs. Zhang is also a million taels. If I'm not mistaken, this is probably the full amount of disaster relief three years ago, right? ”

The four were suddenly startled, and even Fu Yao's eyes widened.

Full Disaster Relief?

He was so greedy?!

"Maybe there will be people tonight who think that my methods are ruthless and spicy, then you can go and see the people of Qizhou for yourself! Digging three inches of soil, I'm afraid it's all white bones. Li Yan stood on the high platform, the jujube red dragon robe was solemn and luxurious, "If there is another person like Zhang Xiangxin, my methods will only be more ruthless."

"Ministers who have ghosts in their hearts, remember to keep your eyes open when you sleep at night."

As he spoke, he stepped down the platform, his slightly emaciated body straight and slender.

"But I'm not a person who can't be reasonable, a million taels of silver, normal expenses, thirty years of hard work," Li Yan walked up to Mrs. Zhang, with a sneer in his eyes, "But you can't find so much silver at home." ”

The person was short and smelled of blood, but Li Yan didn't care at all, and even approached Mrs. Zhang, took the cloth from his mouth with his own hands, and said in his ear: "——Tell me, where did you spend your money?" ”

Mrs. Zhang's mouth had been sealed for a long time, and it was difficult to close it at the moment, he stared at Li Yan like a ghost in the daytime, and tears were almost physiologically flowing down.

Weiyang Palace was dead silent.

- Dead Silence.

After a long silence, the young monarch suddenly chuckled.

He straightened up, and his temperament was even more calm than that of Fang Cai.

But the tone was still unfazed: "It's dead, drag it down and bury it." ”

——

Fu Yao returned to the palace and finally couldn't help retching.

She was so sensitive to the smell of blood that even when she sat at the top, the disgusting smell could still follow her sense of smell and burrow into her internal organs.

Even though it was cold and biting outside the Weiyang Palace, she walked all the way, and the wind wrapped in snow still couldn't blow through the blood.

She suspected that this was a shadow left by the death of a previous life, but she did not know how to dispel it.

What made her even more uneasy was that Li Yan was so ruthless, and the torture was what Mrs. Zhang deserved, but why did he die in court? Still so sudden?

Was it Li who killed him?

After the dinner, Fu Yao didn't need to go to Cining Palace to pretend, so he went back to Fengluan Palace directly, and Li Yan didn't follow.

Fu Yao also had no plans to go along, and the bloody aura in the hall forced her to flee.

She sat on the collapse with a tired face, and Mama Zhang took off her gorgeous clothes for her.

Fu Yao always felt that his clothes were also stained with blood.

She suddenly wanted to throw it out, or call someone to burn it, but she felt very uncomfortable, standing in front of her dress in a daze for a long time, and finally she was still reluctant to throw it.

"Wash," she sighed, gesturing to the clothes, "wash." ”

Mama Zhang was taken aback.

Fu Yao couldn't tell whether it was dirty or not dirty in the past, and it was common to stuff the shortbread that fell to the ground directly into his mouth, let alone take the initiative to ask for anything to be cleaned.

She would now?!

Could it be that the mother is gradually recovering her mind?

Mama Zhang's eyes were full of dismay, so she almost hugged Fu Yao directly.

Fu Yao didn't understand what she was happy about, thinking that she didn't express it clearly, and pointed to her clothes and repeated as hard as she could: "Yes, you have to wash." ”

"Wash, wash, slave and maid will wash!" Mama Zhang quickly picked up her clothes, and motioned to the palace people behind, "You serve Niangniang to bathe quickly, there are freshly picked plum blossoms next to the pool, put more in the water for Niangniang." ”

The two little palace ladies brought Fu Miao to the side of the bath, and Fu Yao slowly soaked in, and the white plums floating on the water surface rippled. She closed her eyes comfortably.

The faint fragrance of plum lingered in his nose, and the frightened heart in Weiyang Palace finally calmed down.

After washing and getting up, Fu Yao put on a white velvet deep coat, and turned around to see a very familiar figure cast on the screen.

The screen separated the bath from the changing room, and the man sat behind the screen, quietly watching her.

She suddenly stopped, a little unsure whether to step forward or not.

"The smell of plum blossoms," Li Yan said, "the queen's side always makes me comfortable." ”

Fu Yao stood still, and Li Yan seemed to notice the abnormality, so he got up and said, "Can I come over?" ”

Fu Yao slammed his neckline tightened.
