In Li Chong's words, if you want to overturn the case, it is impossible at this time. And even if it wasn't too late, Feng's confession would not work, and other evidence would have to be needed.

Coming out of Jingzhao Mansion, Liu Yunxiang pondered for a long time, and decided to go to the palace.

She is not only for Xiao Wu, for the Feng family, but also for Yan Dui. If Xue Hefeng can be convicted, then he can no longer participate in Yan Du's case, and even the evidence of Yan Dui's collusion with Yanzhou officials that he provided before will be re-examined.

When she came to the study, the eunuch beside the emperor kept her, saying that the emperor was discussing business with several ministers, and asked her to wait.

Liu Yunxiang stood at the bottom of the steps and waited, but after waiting for a long time, someone came out of the upper study. She saw Qin Feishi and Yang Guogong first, the two of them had smiles on their faces, and when they saw Liu Yunxiang, Yang Guogong's face sank, and he stepped forward and saluted slightly. When Qin Fei saw her, the corners of his mouth twitched, and then walked to her side.

"I kindly remind you, the emperor is angry, and if you go in now to intercede for His Royal Highness the Seventh, it is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, so it's best to get out of the palace quickly."

Liu Yunxiang turned his head to look at Yang Guogong, and said lightly: "I think the two of you said a lot of good things about the Seventh Highness in front of the emperor, right?" ”

Qin Feishi laughed, "It's not just us. ”

"Oh?"

"The matter of falling into the well and going down the stone should also pay attention to the number of people and the great strength."

Qin Fei raised his eyebrows proudly, and then left with Yang Guogong.

Liu Yunxiang looked up again and saw Lu Changan walking out, there was Yunhou beside him, and the two whispered something, looking quite affectionate.

"King Suping, this Yan Du is really too arrogant, we went to his house that day, we were asking for an explanation, and we didn't want to make a big deal about it, but he put it in the tea we drank...... Put laxatives! ”

Lu Changan nodded, "It's really too much." ”

When they went down the steps, the two saw Liu Yunxiang.

Lu Changan was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward with a smile and saluted Liu Yunxiang. That Yunhou snorted coldly, he didn't even have the basic etiquette, and left with his sleeves flicked up.

"Yun Xiang, if you intercede for His Royal Highness the Seventh, now is not a good time."

"Thank you Lu Shizi for reminding me." Liu Yunxiang said lightly.

"I'm sorry."

Liu Yunxiang sighed slightly, "Lu Shizi, there are some things that should distinguish between right and wrong, even if the position is different, black is black, white is still white." In the past, you were always firmly on the right side, which is what I admired about you, but now ......"

Lu Changan smiled, "Isn't it never clear whether right and wrong are black and white?" ”

"No, it was always clear."

"Looks like you haven't experienced what I've been through, that's good." After speaking, Lu Changan glanced at Liu Yunxiang deeply, and then walked out.

At this time, the little eunuch came out and said that the emperor had summoned him. Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath and stepped up the steps.

In the upper study, the emperor sat on the dragon chair with a gloomy face. He probably thought that Liu Yunxiang was here to invite Yan Dusk, so when he saw her, he was even more violent.

After Liu Yunxiang saluted, he first presented a list of the palace treasury that Xue Hefeng had copied.

"100,000 taels of silver, hundreds of treasures, your Zhenbei Wangfu has a really big appetite!" The emperor slapped the table angrily.

Liu Yunxiang faced the emperor and said: "All these are the income from my business, not from the corruption of His Royal Highness, I can take out the bill and ask Dali Temple to check them one by one." ”

"Bills can also be faked!"

"If the emperor believes that His Royal Highness the Seventh is corrupt, then we will not be able to argue. It's just that the letter in Xue Hefeng's hand, can't it be faked? ”

"Heh, you are so capable, why don't you hand over this case to you for trial!"

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly lowered his head, knowing that the emperor was going to be angry, so he turned to mention the case of Feng's retraction, hoping that the emperor could order a retrial of the case.

The emperor sneered, "Don't think that I don't know what you are doing, I just want to pull Xue Hefeng down and make him no longer able to supervise the case of Lao Qi." ”

"The courtiers just want justice for the dead."

"With these high-sounding excuses, you think you can fool me?"

"The Emperor's ......"

"Stand down!"

Liu Yunxiang frowned, she knew before she came that it would be difficult for the emperor to decree a retrial of the case of Xiao Wu's murder, but now she has no way out, so she can only take this step at the risk of angering the emperor.

She didn't retreat, and was about to plead again, when the little eunuch came to report that the eldest princess was coming.

The emperor rubbed his forehead, "Let her in." ”

After a while, the eldest princess walked in, she saw Liu Yunxiang, her brows furrowed, and then stepped forward to salute. The emperor's attitude towards the eldest princess was still gentle, and he ordered the little eunuch to move the seat.

Liu Yunxiang took a step back and stood behind the eldest princess. At this time, she entered the palace, was it also for the sake of Yan Dusk, and she also fell into the ground?

"Your Majesty, I have never interfered in political affairs, you know, right?" The eldest princess spoke.

The emperor nodded, "The imperial sister has always ignored these. ”

"With the emperor here, our Darong country is stable, what do I have to worry about."

"Back then, it was the imperial sister and the general who supported me to ascend the throne, and I have always remembered this friendship."

"You are the younger brother of my mother's compatriots, I don't support you, do you support those outsiders?"

"Yes."

These words warmed the emperor's heart, and his face looked better.

"It's just that there has been an undercurrent in the court recently, I wonder if the emperor is aware of it?"

"It's not very peaceful."

"Some people are ambitious."

"Who is the imperial sister talking about?"

The eldest princess shook her head and smiled, "This palace may be worrying about it, but if you think about it, you still have to come and ask the emperor, this prince's position can't be empty all the time, the fourth or the seventh, you have to choose one." ”

At the mention of the establishment of the prince, the emperor's face sank first.

"Does the imperial sister think that the fourth child can handle the heavy responsibility or the seventh child?"

"You have to choose one of them, the emperor can't choose an outsider, right?"

"It's impossible!"

"That's it, whether it's the fourth or the seventh, they are all born by you, and the palms and backs of your hands are all meat. It's just that I heard that Lao Qi committed a crime, I think this matter has to be investigated carefully, and it will be found out, in case someone deliberately framed Lao Qi with the intention of seizing the throne. ”

The emperor's face changed dramatically at the moment, "Sister Huang said that someone is plotting to seize the throne?" ”

"As soon as the old seven fell, there was only one fourth left, so it would be easy to deal with. And I just saw King Anqing and Yang Guogong, King Suping and Yunhou at the palace gate, and they were getting closer. ”

The emperor thought that the four of them asked him to punish Lao Qi severely, and also said that Lao Qi was arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and he was angry at the time, and he didn't think much about the purpose behind them.

"This palace has been sleepless lately, always thinking that the emperor's heirs are thin, and nothing can happen to the fourth and seventy-thousand. The country that the Qin family fought down will naturally be handed over to the Qin family, but it can be handed over to the son and nephew or even the queen's nephew, so can it be the same. ”

"They don't even think about it!"

"So, Lao Qi's case has to be investigated, but it has to be investigated cautiously, don't let people with bad intentions take advantage of the loopholes."

Hearing this, Liu Yunxiang understood that the eldest princess was talking to Yan Duan.
