The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

"what?"

Qu Xuan's eyes widened, he seriously doubted whether he had heard it wrong.

He raised his head and looked at Ye Feng who was sitting not far away, and saw that he had an indifferent expression.

"Zhen Guo Jun? Li Linpu was all-powerful, eliminating dissidents and uniting with his party to fight against those who were different. Did you kill him?" Qu Xuan asked.

"Master Qu is really interesting. If Li Linpu is so hateful, why have you followed him for so many years and followed his lead?"

Ye Feng understood in his heart that Qu Xuan must have seen that he had firmly established his position as the King of the State, and was afraid that if he dealt with Li Linpu, he would be implicated. So he simply took the initiative and wanted to gain merit by reporting Li Linpu so as to exonerate himself.

"Your Majesty, we are all forced by Li Linpu. If anyone dares not to listen to him, he will do everything he can to exclude him from the court. The lives of our entire family are in danger."

The wrinkles on Qu Xuan's face began to tremble as his words rang out.

"You want to report Li Lipu, do you have evidence?"

Ye Feng looked at Qu Xuan and asked without comment.

"I……"

Qu Xuan was completely stumped by Ye Feng's question. Everything he said was his subjective evaluation, but he couldn't produce any evidence.

"Zhen Guojun... Li Linpu is cunning and treacherous. Whenever he tells us to do something, he always arranges for someone wearing a ghost mask to come. We don't even know who the other party is, so how can we have evidence?" Qu Xuan continued to say to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng was surprised when he heard this. Those people wearing ghost masks should be the group of people investigated by Jinyiwei Commander Shen Lian before.

"If there is nothing else, you'd better go back quickly. I still need to rest and I have to attend the morning court tomorrow." Ye Feng stood up, waved to Qu Xuan, and walked towards the inner courtyard of Qingya Pavilion.

"Master Qu, please come in!"

When the guard saw Ye Feng leaving, he made a gesture to Qu Xuan to invite him in.

"Damn it."

Qu Xuan couldn't help but curse angrily. He quickly put on the hood of his nightgown. Then he followed the guards and walked out of Qingya Pavilion.

"I will report to the master."

Qu Xuan didn't know that he had just left Qingya Pavilion and in an alley not far away, two people wearing black robes and ghost masks turned around and walked towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Go follow him and find out who he is and why he came to Qingya Pavilion so late at night?"

Another person wearing a ghost mask followed Qu Xuan.

Qu Xuan walked in the dark Jinling City. From time to time, he could hear the sound of night watchmen in the darkness. His steps became faster and faster, and a solemn look appeared in the depths of his eyes. He had already discovered that someone was following him, and he was filled with fear.

shhhhhh...

Just as the man wearing a ghost mask and a black robe followed Qu Xuan and walked a short distance, he heard a series of footsteps.

"Catch him!"

Shen Lian is now the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. He has been ordered to investigate the Ghost-Faced Man for some time, and he is finally going to catch him.

"Ok?"

The ghost-faced man turned around and wanted to escape, but found that his way was blocked by several people behind him. Shen Lian, holding the Embroidered Spring Knife, was already attacking him.

The rest of the Jinyiwei also followed suit. They were all quite powerful. The Ghost-faced Man's cultivation was not very strong, he was only at the middle stage of the Innate Realm.

After a short while, the ghost-faced man was knocked to the ground by Shen Lian. Several Jinyiwei rushed up and grabbed the ghost-faced man's arm tightly.

"Uh-huh!"

The ghost-faced man wanted to break free, but found that he could not. There was madness in the depths of his eyes. He groaned, his body twitched continuously, and his exposed eyes were filled with blood.

"not good!"

When Shen Lian saw this scene, he secretly said something and quickly reached out to take off the mask of the ghost-faced man. He saw a face with a bluish color and blood oozing out of the eyes, nose and mouth. The poison was severe and it was obvious that the poison had killed him instantly. Only a slightly warm breath was left.

"Boss, this is the seventh ghost-faced man we have captured in the past half month. They have poison hidden in their teeth. Once they are caught, they will immediately commit suicide by taking poison."

A Jinyiwei looked at Shen Lian and said.

"Don't be anxious. I don't believe that we, the Jinyiwei, can't catch them with our abilities." Shen Lian put away the Embroidered Spring Knife and said firmly.

……

In the early morning, the sky was slightly bright.

Ye Feng was dressed in a white robe, holding the Emperor's Sword in his hand and wearing Meteor Boots. He had a calm expression as he walked towards the palace.

I haven't attended court for a long time, and I'm still a little uncomfortable!

Outside the court.

Civil and military officials were wearing official robes and standing outside with different expressions.

Especially Qu Xuan, he stood there with a nervous look.

He felt secretly relieved in his heart, thank goodness the person who followed him last night stopped following him for some unknown reason, otherwise he would not know how to get rid of him!

Yue Teng was wearing armor and looked strong despite his age. Behind him followed generals Yang Zaixing, Zhong Feihua, Fan Jin and others. Yu Shouren, Hai Ming and others were also standing there.

Tan Zijian, Qu Xuan and other court officials also stood aside. Ye Feng had not been to court for a while, so they did not dare to be careless, fearing that they would be late, and came to wait outside the court early.

clatter! clatter! clatter!

At this time, Li Linpu was still sitting on his armchair, surrounded by four guards and maids carrying tea and breakfast, and Li Xun followed beside him.

creak!

At this moment, the heavy door of the court was pushed open from both sides by four guards. Wei Xian stood outside the court, shouting in a shrill voice.

"Go up!"

Yue Teng and Li Linpu were at the front, and behind them were the six ministers and vice ministers, who lined up in order and walked into the court.

Surprisingly, Li Lipu did not ask the guards around him to carry a chair to take him to the court. Instead, he arranged them outside the court, got down from the armchair and walked in.

Hai Ming and others were stunned. It was probably the first time in all these years that Li Linpu personally walked into the court. It was really incredible.

"Greetings to the King of Zhenguo!"

Civil and military officials came into the court, stood on both sides, and bowed to Ye Feng who was sitting next to the dragon throne.

"No need to be polite."

Ye Feng waved to the civil and military officials, placed the Emperor's Sword next to his chair and leaned back.

"Eunuch Wei, during this inspection of the Great Song Dynasty, you have successfully rectified the entire southern region, which can be regarded as a great achievement. I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. Those who have made great contributions, as well as those who died or were injured on the battlefield, will all be rewarded. Announcement!" Ye Feng was sitting there, his voice resounding throughout the hall.

"The Emperor, by the Will of Heaven, proclaims:"

"Wu Jie was once a general of the Song Dynasty. He suffered an unjust accusation from Emperor Xuan of Song and was tortured and humiliated, but he remained loyal and was unwilling to follow Zhao Changlin and betray the court. This is great loyalty!"

"When Zhao Changlin wanted to use the 'extinction plan' and poisoned one-third of the Changlin army's civilians to collect their money, Wu Jie risked being discovered by Zhao Changlin and sent his adopted son to travel hundreds of miles to Dongyang County to report the news, thus saving tens of millions of innocent people in Changlin County. This was a great act of courage!"

"Gu: Confer Wu Jie the title of Loyal and Brave General of the Song Dynasty, grant him a mansion, and appoint him as the Commander-in-Chief of the Changlin Army. I decree this!"

Wei Xian's voice rang out in the hall, and many people's eyes showed admiration and shock. They also suddenly realized why Ye Feng, who had clearly returned victorious, suddenly turned his army around and attacked Changlin County. It turned out that Zhao Changlin actually wanted to use the "plan to wipe out the whole family" to harm the people.
