The beautiful and powerful minister hooked up with the crazy emperor and couldn't escape

As he looked at Prince Wei, his gaze began to become sticky. Feng Jiuqing raised his eyes to Prince Wei with cold murderous intent in his eyes.

Prince Wei shivered in the hot sun. She turned out to be a thorny beauty. What should he do if he liked her more? Unfortunately, this was His Majesty's person, and he could only look at her but not eat her. However, it might not be the same after this person fell into the dust.

"The evil concubine is ruining the country! Your Majesty, you must not show favoritism to the evil concubine!"

Prince Wei's shocking voice prompted the censors to start a new round of persuasion. Feng Jiuqing turned a deaf ear to them, but he had already made a note of Prince Wei in his heart.

Feng Jiuqing brushed away the guard's hand that was trying to stop him and gave him a sharp look: "His Majesty ordered me to investigate. If I don't enter the Xuanshi Palace, how can I investigate the case? Or do you want to disobey the order?"

The guard suddenly knelt on the ground: "I dare not."

Feng Jiuqing said in a deep voice: "Why don't you get out of the way?"

The guards had no choice but to make way for Feng Jiuqing. Feng Jiuqing didn't even look at Prince Wei and the Censor who were scolding him, and walked straight towards the Xuanshi Hall.

But those who were originally cursing stopped at the same time and looked at each other.

His Majesty did say that he had arranged for someone to investigate Ming Qing's murder, but they never expected that His Majesty would let Feng Jiuqing, the murderer, investigate! Is there any need to investigate this?

Could your Excellency find out that he himself murdered the king?

It’s simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!

Your Majesty is confused!

Feng Jiuqing didn't care what these people thought. He just wanted to find the culprit who poisoned the room in Xuanshi Hall.

After Feng Jiuqing entered Xuanshi Hall, he went straight to find the eunuch chief steward Lin Yu. Lin Yu bowed to Feng Jiuqing bitterly and said, "Oh my dear lord, didn't His Majesty put you under house arrest? Why are you here in Xuanshi Hall?"

Feng Jiuqing supported Lin Yu and said softly, "Your Majesty has allowed me to thoroughly investigate the poisoning. I would also like to ask Chief Steward Lin to help gather all the palace servants who came to Xuanshi Hall today because His Majesty was poisoned."

Lin Yu smiled and nodded without hesitation: "I will call someone to come. Your Excellency, why don't you take a rest here first? Someone will be here soon. Come on, serve tea to your Excellency."

If it were during the previous emperor's time, he would have ignored a concubine like this who had fallen out of favor.

But Minh Noi was the first male concubine since the founding of Dai Viet Dynasty, and she was able to remain unscathed after the regicide.

His Majesty even went so far as to punish the censor by making him kneel down for him. Just based on this point, the shrewd Lin Yu did not dare to offend him easily.

Besides, it is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to help in times of need. If this noble king regains his favor one day, he will have a great favor. There is no reason not to do this kind of business that is sure to make money.

Feng Jiuqing smiled slightly: "Thank you, Manager Lin."

Lin Yu flicked the whisk in his hand and said, "You are too polite, sir."

Soon all the palace people gathered at the steps behind the Xuanshi Hall. Feng Jiuqing sat on a high place, looking down coldly at the people below with different expressions.

The people below didn't dare to breathe. In the past, His Majesty was always serious and your Excellency was always easy-going. But today, your Excellency seemed to be more domineering and colder than His Majesty in the past.

Feng Jiuqing just watched quietly without saying anything. When the people below were about to fall, he opened his mouth and said, "I asked you all to come here because I want you to recall whether there are any other people who have been to Xuanshi Hall or entered Xuanshi Hall today besides you."

Lin Yu's original smile froze for a moment. After he gave the order, all the people who had been to Xuanshi Hall were here. Does your Excellency not believe him?

Feng Jiuqing continued, "Of course, I will not treat you unfairly. If anyone knows someone who has been to Xuanshi Hall but is not here, just tell me and I will reward you."

Almost everyone below had big beads of sweat on their foreheads, some were exposed to the sun, and some were frightened. After listening to Feng Jiuqing's words, almost everyone had a question in their mind. Wasn't the noble lord trying them? Why did he suddenly want to reward them?

But when they heard that there was a reward, the originally lifeless people suddenly became energetic and looked at all the people present, trying to see if there was anyone missing among them. As long as they were there, they could receive the reward, and your Excellency has always been generous, so the reward will definitely not be small.

Soon someone said, "Reporting to you, my lord, it seems that Xiao Wenzi from Xuanshi Hall is not here!"

Feng Jiuqing gave a cold smile: "Very good, reward."

A hint of joy immediately appeared on the faces of the people below. Feng Jiuqing raised his eyes and looked at Lin Yu: "Please ask Manager Lin to invite the person here."

Lin Yu showed a difficult expression on his face: "This - hey."

"what happened?"

Lin Yu patted his head and said, "Oh, I'm sorry for my poor memory. That little Wenzi accidentally fell into the lake three quarters of an hour ago and has drowned."

Feng Jiuqing retracted his gaze, and the smile on his face became even colder: "No evidence after death? That's a really good method."

Lin Yu was a little embarrassed. He didn't know why, but he felt that this noble man was like a different person. In the past, he was beautiful but had no aura. But today, he was very sharp. Even someone like him who often served Mo Ling couldn't stand the aura of this noble man.

"Sir, would you like to go and see Xiao Wenzi?" Lin Yu did not dare to look down on Feng Jiuqing anymore and asked with a bow.

Feng Jiuqing waved his hand: "No need."

Shouldn't we go check on Xiao Wenzi at this time? Why did your Excellency say that it was not necessary? Lin Yu was a little confused, but after all, he was the chief eunuch around Mo Ling, so he still had the necessary professional qualities.

"Yes."

Feng Jiuqing stood up, flexed his wrist slightly, and pointed casually downwards: "Take him back to Qianyuan Palace, and the rest can disperse."

Lin Yu looked in the direction Feng Jiuqing pointed, and saw a man with a surprised face standing next to the person who had just received the reward. Lin Yu had also been watching the people below since Feng Jiuqing sat here. This person was no different from the others, so why did the noble lord bring this person back to Qianyuan Hall?

Even though he had a lot of questions, Lin Yu did not ask them. He just asked the guards to take the man to Qianyuan Palace.

In the Qianyuan Palace, Feng Jiuqing's peach blossom eyes were cold: "I am very curious, how did you add ingredients to the food box I sent in front of Yan Yiran?"

The man's pupils trembled slightly, and he quickly lowered his head: "I don't know what you are talking about, sir."

Feng Jiuqing sneered and put his hand on the man's pulse: "You don't know martial arts? It seems that you didn't add the ingredients after knocking Yan Yiran unconscious. I'm very curious, did you add the ingredients in front of Yan Yiran with his tacit consent, or did you trick Yan Yiran into adding the ingredients?"

The man lowered his head and said, "I don't know what you are talking about."

Feng Jiuqing raised his eyebrows, took the document beside him and read it softly: "Little Bangzi, formerly known as Sun Xiaolai, lives in Yuanshan County, Qiyang. There are five people in his family. Due to the drought, his family changed drastically. His parents, brothers and sisters-in-law all died. He became a refugee and was sold into the palace. Qiyang, Prime Minister Lu's hometown, so we are from the same hometown?"

The man lowered his head and said, "I dare not approach you, sir."
