Mo Ling's eyes suddenly turned red, and he spoke word by word: "Nonsense! My lover is not dead!"

Feng Jiuqing narrowed his eyes. Did Mo Ling know that he was still alive? He thought about it carefully. He didn't leave any traces. It was impossible for Mo Ling to know that he was still alive!

Jian Han and Qi Nian were both surprised for a moment, but they quickly suppressed their surprise. Only Prime Minister Lu's eyes suddenly lit up. He looked up at Mo Ling and said, "Your Majesty, have you found Qingqing? Is he still alive? Where is he?"

Mo Ling's face darkened for a moment, and he said seriously: "I haven't found Qingqing yet. As long as I don't see Qingqing for one day--"

He paused and closed his eyes in pain.

"If I see a corpse, I won't believe that Qingqing is dead! My Qingqing must still be alive! It's just that he is still blaming me, so he doesn't want to come back to see me. I will keep looking for him, no matter how long it takes, I will definitely find my Qingqing!"

The light in Prime Minister Lu's eyes suddenly went out. Yes, seriously injured and poisoned, how could his Qingqing still be alive! If Qingqing could come back alive, he would be willing to exchange everything for her. Prime Minister Lu had never hoped so much that there really was a god in this world who could perform a miracle to save his poor Qingqing.

Qi Nian breathed a sigh of relief, and he said, "How could Your Majesty know that the Marshal was still alive? It turned out that he was deceiving himself."

Tsk, who are you acting like this for?

Want to soften his Marshal's heart with this look? Absolutely impossible! Not only is it impossible, Qi Nian has even blocked the window for him!

Jian Han also sighed silently in his heart. Why did His Majesty do this? The Grand Tutor had been so good to His Majesty before, but he was willing to kill the Grand Tutor, making him sad and then regretting it. However, His Majesty could only say that he deserved it.

If Bai Yunjin dared to treat him like this, he would definitely break Bai Yunjin's bones.

Bai Yunjin received a look from his wife for no apparent reason, and shuddered with fear. He began to think about how he had offended his wife again. Did he go too far yesterday? But he had been sent out for several months and had not seen his wife. Well, he did not do it on purpose. His wife begged him to let him go. QAQ.

Many ministers looked at Mo Ling with pity in their eyes. His Majesty couldn't accept the death of the noble king for the time being, so he had to seal his heart and lock away his love. What a sincere feeling, it makes people cry.

But Censor Tan was different. He stepped out with his beard blowing, and said with a folded hand: "Your Majesty, think twice! Your Majesty cannot be crowned as the Queen! For a man to enter the harem is to seduce the monarch, which is despised. Moreover, he has made no contribution to Dai Viet. How can an actor who came out of a brothel be crowned as the Queen!"

“How dare you!” Mo Ling shouted angrily, his eyes sharp, as if he wanted to turn into a feather arrow and shoot through Censor Tan!

"Bullshit! You are the one who is immoral and incompetent!" Qi Nian glared at the man. If this hadn't been in the court, Qi Nian would have taken action already.

"Imperial Censor Tan, be kind in your words."

Prime Minister Lu looked at Censor Tan with gritted teeth. Feng Jiuqing also turned slightly and looked at him coldly.

The corner of Jian Han's mouth twitched. This Censor Tan was really brave. It would be a big deal for an ordinary person to offend one person, but he offended four people at once. He lit the candle silently.

Everyone around quietly moved away from Censor Tan, fearing that they would be implicated.

However, Censor Tan did not sense the danger at all and continued, "Your Majesty has left the six palaces empty for an actor. How will the world view Your Majesty? Actors are lowly people. It is a great blessing for them to be able to enter the harem. You should be grateful. But the position of empress will never be the turn of an actor. No matter how you promote a lowly person, it is still lowly."

"If Dai Viet has no successor because of him, Ming Qing will be a sinner for all eternity! Your Majesty, are you going to disregard Dai Viet and the ancestral laws for a mere actor? If so, Ming Qing's worthless life will not be enough to pay it back no matter how many times it dies!"

Mo Ling's face was as gloomy as water. This man deserved to die for slandering his beloved like this!

"Someone! Drag him out and beat him with a stick!"

Censor Tan was not afraid at all and shouted: "I am doing this for Dai Viet. Even if I die from being beaten in court, I will have no regrets!"

Soon, guards came in, but before they met Censor Tan, they heard Feng Jiuqing's extremely cold voice: "Wait."

"Emperor! This man is talking nonsense, he should be beaten with a stick in the court!"

Mo Ling didn't know why Feng Jiuqing wanted to stop him, but he couldn't swallow this man's insult to his beloved.

He really wanted to beat the man to death with a stick. Although he could beat the censor to death with a stick, he couldn't do that because of Qingqing. He didn't want Qingqing to be branded as a seducer who seduced the emperor and brought chaos to the court.

"Get out!"

Feng Jiuqing's voice was very soft. The two imperial guards withdrew their hands and looked at Mo Ling.

Mo Ling waved his hand with a gloomy face. If the Grand Tutor wanted him to leave, even if he was the emperor, he couldn't stop him. He had to go back and dismiss Censor Tan and throw him into the Imperial Prison!

Censor Tan bowed to Feng Jiuqing and said, "Thank you, Grand Master."

Feng Jiuqing's eyes were cold, and before he opened his mouth, Prime Minister Lu's voice came first.

"You said that the son of the prime minister and the princess is a pariah! That's nonsense! Tan Qi, how noble are you to dare to slander the royal family like this? Your Majesty, I beg you to punish Tan Qi severely for the crime of disrespect!"

Prime Minister Lu was extremely angry just now, but he has just come to his senses and is pointing at Censor Tan, wishing he could eat him up.

Prime Minister Lu and the princess' biological son? If he remembered correctly, wasn't Mingqing the son of Prime Minister Lu and a maid? He was also kicked out of the Lu family. Everyone knew that Prime Minister Lu didn't like this illegitimate son at all, so he dared to stand up and criticize Mingqing. How did Mingqing suddenly become the biological son of Prime Minister Lu and the princess?

In fact, it is not surprising that Censor Tan did not know. Ever since King Han ascended the throne, he had lost all his dignity and face. Apart from attending court and reporting for duty, he did not dare to stay outside for long. Naturally, he did not know that Mingqing was the son of Prime Minister Lu and Princess Lanshu.

Another important reason why he reported Ming Qing was that he urgently needed a good reputation to gain a foothold, otherwise he would never be able to hold his head up in the court because of that incident.

Besides, Ming Qing is a man who seduces the king on a daily basis, and even wants to be the queen. Wouldn't that cause an uproar in the world?

At this time, as long as he dared to stand up, even if he would face the king's wrath, as long as he dared to participate, he would surely leave a reputation as an upright person who serves the people and is not afraid of power. Only in this way can he hold his head up high.

But at this moment, facing Prime Minister Lu's sudden attack, he was completely confused.

Mo Ling's eyes were gloomy: "Yes."

Feng Jiuqing stood up and said calmly, "It's okay to punish you later. I have a few questions for Censor Tan."

Censor Tan bowed to Feng Jiuqing. It seemed that the Grand Tutor wanted to protect him. He knew that Chan Mingqing would not be wrong. At least the Grand Tutor had sharp eyes.

"Excuse me, Grand Master."

Feng Jiuqing took a step forward and asked, "Excuse me, does Censor Tan have a concubine at home?"

Censor Tan's face turned red. Why did the Grand Tutor ask him such a question? He had never visited prostitutes, so was there anything wrong with taking a concubine?

"Yes."

Feng Jiuqing continued, "Censor Tan is a seventh-rank official with a monthly salary of 45 taels of silver and 7 dan of rice. But if I remember correctly, two months ago, Censor Tan spent a thousand taels of silver to buy a jade bracelet at Jinyulou in order to please your concubine. May I ask, where did the money come from?"
