The Grand Tutor wants to be the Queen every day and is going crazy
Chapter 127 The Emperor Wants Master Ji to Die
"I have entered the car. Tell me the purpose of your coming in!" Ji Yanchen turned his head to look at him, his lips curled but there was a cold light in his eyes.
Pei Zhiyan put away his cheerful smile and put on a serious expression and said, "Do you know that a big event happened in the capital today?"
Ji Yanchen: "What's the matter?"
Pei Zhi lowered his eyelids to hide the coldness that flashed across his face: "Have you heard about the missing girl case in Beijing?"
Ji Yanchen's eyes flashed with understanding: "You can't find the murderer, so you come to ask me for help?"
"Aren't you known for your ability to solve cases like a god? Why are you at a bottleneck?"
Pei Zhiyan's eyes were dark as he stared at Ji Yanchen and said in a hoarse voice, "Yeah, this case is a bit tricky for me too!"
"This murderer always targeted young girls walking at night. The next day, the girl's body would be found in the wilderness. She was naked, with a large hole in her chest. Her death was tragic."
"The murderer had premeditated the killing. He would go to different places to hide in the dark. If a young woman passed by, he would take her away, dig out her heart and kill her."
The murderer is so cruel that he has killed no less than 20 innocent women! If he is not arrested as soon as possible, more young girls will be killed. This situation is heartbreaking and makes the parents who lost their daughters feel angry and scared. "
Pei Zhiyan sighed helplessly and said, "This murderer is extremely cunning, and his methods of committing crimes are flawless. It's as if he knew my actions in advance. Every time I found a clue, it would disappear inexplicably, as if it had never appeared."
"I think that the murderer's method of committing the crime is so sophisticated, there must be someone behind him who is guiding him or covering his ass."
Pei Zhiyan sighed again and said, "If this murderer is not caught one day, all the young women in the capital will not dare to go out at night, causing panic among the people."
"So, I have an unwelcome request."
Ji Yanchen's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise and asked, "Are you begging me for help?"
Pei Zhiyan nodded reluctantly.
"The secret guards under Master Ji are all capable people. It should be easy for them to find clues about the murderer, right?"
"So, I would like to ask Master for help!"
"This is the biggest case I have encountered since I was released from prison. I also hope to use this case to regain my position as the Supreme Court Justice."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yanchen's eyes narrowed slightly and his eyelids drooped: "This case is indeed a bit tricky, but what I can do for you is limited. At most, I can only provide some clues."
Pei Zhiyan's eyes lit up: "That's great! As long as there are clues, I can follow the clues and find the real culprit!"
Ji Yanchen nodded slightly, and then he remembered something and asked, "What do you think of His Majesty?"
"What do you think?" Pei Zhiyan was confused.
Ji Yanchen was a little embarrassed: "Are you pleased with His Majesty?"
Pei Zhiyan frowned, as if he had heard a joke, and laughed out loud: "Master Ji, what are you talking about?"
"I'm a man, how can I be interested in a man!"
"Master Ji, you are overthinking it."
Hearing this, Ji Yanchen's expression visibly relaxed.
"I've already told you that I should go back to investigate the case. Qin Hean will slack off if I'm not around for a day."
"This guy needs to be taken care of."
Pei Zhiyan was about to get off the car, but he rolled his eyes, sat down, and confidently told Ji Yanchen: "You have a carriage, take me back to the Dali Temple."
"It's on the way anyway."
"Since Master Taishi doesn't say anything, I'll take it as Master Taishi's tacit agreement!"
Seeing that he was taking it for granted, Ji Yanchen knew that he couldn't be driven away, so he just let him do as he wished.
"Mo Shu, go to the Dali Temple."
"Yes, my lord."
……
"Empress Dowager, through observations over the past few days, there is nothing unusual about His Majesty in Mingde Hall. Apart from eating and sleeping, there is nothing wrong with him!"
"She likes to sleep very much and can sleep all day long. Occasionally, the Grand Tutor comes back, but usually no one else wants to see Your Majesty." Nanny Cui said respectfully.
Empress Dowager Zhang rubbed her forehead. The recent house arrest had made her suffer a lot. Even the imperial kitchen secretly withheld her food.
In the past, no one would dare to treat her like this!
"Your Highness, please take good care of yourself. I'm leaving now!"
When Madam Cui was about to leave, Empress Dowager Zhang stopped her and asked weakly, "Is it true that between Gu Qingluo and Ji Yanchen..."
Aunt Cui's heart was filled with alarm bells: "Impossible, they are just an ordinary monarch and subject relationship, nothing else!"
Empress Dowager Zhang narrowed her eyes slightly: "Are you protecting them?"
"Okay, you changed sides at the last minute?"
Aunt Cui quickly defended herself, "No, no, I just think there is nothing going on between them!"
"really?"
Madam Cui nodded: "Indeed, they have nothing else to do except discussing the affairs of the court."
"Besides, I think the emperor doesn't like the tutor."
"Whenever they met, they would draw their swords and hurled insults at each other. Taifu had to tolerate them many times."
"In my opinion, they appear to be peaceful on the surface, but they are actually competing against each other secretly!"
"Perhaps, the emperor has never thought about building a good relationship with Master Ji."
Madam Cui recalled the words the Emperor had said to her: "I want to let Empress Dowager Zhang know that I have a hostile relationship with Master Ji!"
"Let Empress Dowager Zhang believe it."
So, she decided to make the relationship between the Emperor and Tutor Ji sound as bad as possible, so that she could complete the task assigned to her by the Emperor.
"Her Majesty the Empress Dowager, I once heard the Emperor mention that he wanted Ji Yanchen to die..." Nanny Cui said cautiously.
Empress Dowager Zhang frowned, feeling a little puzzled, but still motioned for Nanny Cui to continue.
Nanny Cui took a deep breath and fabricated, "The emperor once said that Master Ji has always had ulterior motives and tried to use the emperor to control the power of the court. On the surface, he is loyal to Fengcheng, but in fact he is secretly plotting to subvert the rule of the royal family."
Hearing these words, Empress Dowager Zhang's face turned gloomy. Didn't Ji Yanchen have no intention of that position?
how come?
But she also understood that Nanny Cui would not say such words for no reason, there must be some credibility in them.
"Who told you this?" Empress Dowager Zhang asked coldly.
Matron Cui lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Empress Dowager Zhang, and simply replied, "This is all because I overheard the conversation between the Emperor and Eunuch Su..."
Empress Dowager Zhang pondered for a moment, secretly guessing Ji Yanchen's thoughts.
She somewhat suspected that the emperor was deliberately spreading rumors, but it was not surprising that Ji Yanchen had Sima Zhao's intentions.
When Nanny Cui saw that Empress Dowager Zhang did not express her opinion, she knew that her lie had worked.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she had finally completed the task assigned to her by the emperor. As for whether Empress Dowager Zhang believed it or not, that was not her concern.
