At this moment, Xie Ziling's mind was full of what Xie Lingxiao had just said.

Thinking of the words of the emperor's uncle, I felt more confident.

He will do everything well.

But Xie Ziling didn't know that after he left the imperial study, Shen Jingxuan learned the truth of the matter, sat there with her eyes lowered, pursed her lips and said nothing.

Xie Lingxiao looked at her tightly pursed lips and teased, "How is it? Does my queen regret what she just said?"

Shen Jingxuan looked at him in a daze when she heard his words.

Queen? Now he is the emperor and she is his queen.

"Don't worry, I told him to behave well."

After saying this, he squeezed Shen Jingxuan's hand in a good mood, with the corners of his lips raised high.

As for what constitutes good performance, it is up to him to decide.

Xie Ziling was very quick this time. It only took him an hour to bring Xie Boxu and Xie Jingle to the palace.

He looked at Xie Lingxiao expectantly, waiting for him to let him out of the palace.

But to his disappointment, Xie Lingxiao kept telling Ling Feng what to do next without even looking at him.

Seeing Xie Lingxiao finally stop, Xie Ziling hurriedly said: "Uncle..."

Xie Lingxiao interrupted him: "Starting tomorrow, you will stay with Xu'er. If he doesn't understand something or needs to learn something, you can teach him."

"Uncle... I..." Xie Ziling wanted to refuse.

Xie Lingxiao said: "Lingfeng, take Ziling to his palace. We can talk about anything tomorrow."

"Yes." Ling Feng suppressed his smile and pulled Xie Ziling out.

Xie Ziling kept looking back at Xie Lingxiao, but he didn't even look at him.

He wanted to break free from Ling Feng's hand and return to the imperial study to fight with Xie Lingxiao again, but he couldn't break free no matter what he did.

"Ling Feng, let go. The emperor's uncle has not agreed to let me leave the palace."

"Your master won't agree even if you go back." Ling Feng decisively extinguished his only remaining hope.

No prey targeted by his master can escape easily.

What's more, Xie Ziling came to him on his own initiative, so his master would not let him go.

Shen Jingxuan looked at Xie Ziling as he left and chuckled.

"Ah Xiao, if you do this, aren't you afraid that he will sneak away?"

"He doesn't dare to run. Even if he does, the final result will only be more serious."

Others don't know about Xie Lingxiao's power, but Xie Ziling knows a thing or two.

If he had any way, he would not let him do whatever he wanted without any resistance.

Shen Jingxuan raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard his words: "Are you so confident?"

"If he really leaves, I think your wishful thinking will be in vain."

Xie Lingxiao didn't care: "It doesn't matter, even if he runs far away, the people from Luofeng Temple will find him."

Xie Ziling knew the seriousness of the situation very well, which was why he stayed in Shangjing City obediently.

Thinking of the Luofeng Temple spread across the four countries, Shen Jingxuan's lips curled up slowly.

If Xie Ziling knew the result today, he would rather get married than go to Xie Lingxiao for help.

During the morning court session on the second day, Xie Lingxiao appointed Xie Boxu as the crown prince, and the first decree he issued was a general amnesty.

When the minister mentioned Xie Zihan, Xie Lingxiao simply did as his royal brother said and demoted him to a commoner and released him along with the others who had been pardoned.

All the civil and military officials in the court thought that Xie Lingxiao would reorganize the court after he became the emperor, so many people were worried and did not dare to meet him.

Unexpectedly, Xie Lingxiao only issued two imperial decrees and then announced his withdrawal from court.

Although the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Revenue were puzzled, they still left the hall.

The other ministers had something to report, but they were dissatisfied because Xie Lingxiao announced his retirement early.

Seeing that the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Revenue had left the hall, they surrounded the two men.

"Minister of the Ministry of Justice, don't you have any objection to the emperor leaving court early?"

The Minister of Justice looked around and saw several ministers beside him looking at him with tense expressions, so he walked forward.

Opinion?

How dare he have any opinion?

The Minister of Justice even thought that if he had raised anything just now and delayed the court session, Xie Lingxiao would definitely hold him accountable.

"Just do your job well. The rest is not up to you or me to decide."

"But today is the first morning court session since the Emperor ascended the throne. Shouldn't we discuss the delayed state affairs?"

Another minister echoed, "The emperor has not been to court for many days, which has delayed many things. If the delay continues, what should we do?"

The Minister of Revenue lowered his head and followed the Minister of Justice towards the palace gate.

Although he didn't know why the emperor did this, how could they oppose the decision made by the emperor?

When the ministers saw that the Minister of Justice remained silent, they hurriedly blocked his way.

"Today we must ask the Emperor when the political affairs that have been put on hold for so long can be dealt with."

"Yes, we must ask the emperor."

"The Emperor attended court on his first day, but he didn't even ask about government affairs, and he was in a hurry to leave. Will he not ask about government affairs in the future?"

"..."

The Minister of Justice and the Minister of Revenue looked at each other and quickly looked away.

"If you want to question the emperor, you can go to the imperial study and wait for him to summon you."

The Minister of Revenue said, "Before I went to court, my wife told me that I had important matters to attend to at home today, so I will not go to the Imperial Study with you."

After saying this, he ignored the looks of several ministers and slowly walked towards the palace gate.

The Minister of Justice bowed to everyone and said, "My master did not return home yesterday. Madam ordered me to go look for him after the court. Bye."

He hurriedly caught up with the Minister of Revenue, and the two of them quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

What a joke! Even if you give him a hundred reasons to question the emperor in the imperial study, he still won't go.

Instead of spending time in the imperial study, he might as well go back home to take a bath and spend more time with his wife.

Seeing that the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Revenue were not involved in the matter, several ministers stood there without moving an inch.

Thinking of what they had just said, the two ministers shook their heads slightly and left first.

The cautious people looked at each other. Although they were dissatisfied, they had no way to deal with it.

All the civil and military officials in the court have left the palace, and they alone are afraid that they will not be able to persuade the emperor.

In desperation, they had to leave the palace.

The ministers didn't know that their every move and every word were being watched by people hiding in the dark.

After they left the palace, every word they said reached Xie Lingxiao's ears.

"Did the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Revenue really say that?"

"Yes, but looking at their expressions, they seem to know that someone is watching them in the dark."

Xie Lingxiao curled his lips and smiled: "How can an old fox who has been an official for many years easily fall into the hands of others?"

Ling Chen asked, "Master, why are those ministers unwilling to come to the Imperial Study to see you?"

"They? They are just cowards who only dare to make some moves behind the scenes."

If the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Revenue agreed with them, they would still come to the Imperial Study.

But without the two of them taking the lead, they would keep it to themselves even if they had a hundred courages.

"Any news from the prison?"

"Except for those with heavy sentences, all others have been released, except..."
