Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

The next day, at the regular morning court session—

The royal family said that they didn't care because they didn't have dinner with Lao Liu the day before, but they still sent people to secretly find out Lao Liu's whereabouts. As a result, they searched all the brothels but couldn't find Lao Liu's whereabouts. They sent people to check the Yunwang Mansion, but the Yunwang Mansion was heavily guarded and even people from the palace were not allowed to enter. This made Emperor Mingren very depressed and he didn't even have the mood to attend the morning court.

"Go up to the morning~"

Grandpa Mu Yi, as always, raised his voice and held his throat.

"Long live my emperor, long live long live~"

The ministers knelt on the ground to pay homage until Emperor Akihito listlessly asked everyone to stand up.

"What's wrong with the emperor? He looks listless."

Grand Tutor Baili Du and Grand Tutor Baoan stood in the second row and whispered.

"Haven't you heard? Last night, the Emperor wanted to see His Royal Highness Prince Yun, but he couldn't find him. He couldn't find him in the brothel, and Prince Yun's Mansion wouldn't let the messenger in, so the Emperor waited the whole night."

"What is going on, Your Highness Prince Yun? The Emperor didn't even get angry."

"Don't you know that the emperor loves you very much, Prince Yun? He is just short of passing the throne to him."

Upon hearing this, Wei Taibao shook his head in anger. When Prince Yun was still the Sixth Prince, he was a talented young man with a high level of comprehension. He had his own opinions on both writing and martial arts, and he also knew how to respect his teachers. But later, he suddenly became ill, and the imperial physician said that the Sixth Prince's body could no longer practice martial arts. Since then, His Royal Highness Prince Yun has not even attended Master Baili's class, and his health has been getting worse, which has made the Emperor very distressed, and he has become more and more fond of the Sixth Prince. Later, by chance, Master Jingxin of Hanshan Temple invited the Sixth Prince to stay at Hanshan Temple for a while to regulate his body. Later, when he was in better health, he went out to travel again, but he did not expect that he would behave like this after returning.

"Why are you so angry? The emperor likes Prince Yun's personality. Besides, some things cannot be judged by appearances~"

Master Baili chuckled on the side, and then glanced at the third prince who was attending court today. In the past, the eldest prince and the third prince did not attend the morning court, as they did not hold official positions and did not have to attend court.

The eldest prince has been named Prince of Qing. He is a non-aggressor, never takes the initiative to talk to others, and has no intention of competing for the throne.

The third prince should be appointed as the crown prince, so he will not be crowned as a king. But the problem is that, under the pressure of many ministers, the emperor still does not appoint him as the crown prince. I don't know what the emperor is thinking. He came to court today, probably because he knew that all the officials asked the emperor to appoint a crown prince, so he hurried to show his face in front of the emperor.

"Ah~"

Master Baili shook his head.

Just when everyone was silent, a voice broke the gloomy atmosphere.

"Father! I have something important to report~"

It was the third prince who stood up.

The ministers all looked over. The Third Prince hadn't attended the morning court for a long time. Would he cause trouble as soon as he came?

"speak."

The emperor only uttered one word, and even seemed to not want to pay attention to him.

"I heard a few days ago that my father was worried all day long because the serial murders might be related to the Shenyin Pavilion, so I sent people to the city in the north to investigate the news. I found that there was nothing unusual in the city. But according to local people, people often go there to buy a lot of food recently, and they all hide their faces. I felt that something was wrong, so I left people there to watch. Sure enough, I saw a sneaky person buying food with a mask on, and he was wearing a golden bell!"

"what?"

The emperor's expression suddenly became shocked, and he leaned forward.

"And how did you do it?"

The Third Prince thought that his father was shocked that he had discovered a suspicious person. He became a little inflated for a moment and continued talking very proudly.

"I have ordered people to capture that sneaky man. He is very skilled and must be a killer from Shenyin Pavilion! As long as he is tortured severely, he will surely be able to extract some information."

"What did you say!?"

The emperor was even more shocked, and his hands were shaking. The third prince thought the emperor was excited.

"Don't worry, Father. The thugs I hired are all from the underworld. Even if Shenyin Pavilion finds out that their people have been arrested, they will not suspect the court."

"Nonsense!"

The emperor suddenly became furious, not knowing what to say to his stupid son, so he could only pick up the teacup on the table and smash it at him. But fortunately, the third prince reacted quickly, and the cup broke beside him as he turned sideways.

"Father, why is this happening?"

The third prince widened his eyes and looked at the emperor in confusion. He had clearly tried very hard to find clues, so why didn't his father praise him but was so angry instead?

"Do you know who you caught?!"

"He is a person related to Shenyin Pavilion. I saw clearly that he had a bell tied to his body, just like the one painted at the crime scene."

The more certain the Third Prince was, the angrier the Emperor became. The ministers in the audience were also confused, wondering why the Emperor was so angry.

"That was General Wang, whom I arranged to pretend to be!"

"What!?"

"this..."

The third prince was stunned, and all the officials began to whisper.

It turned out that the emperor was in the study with Lord Zhen and General Wang a few days ago, discussing how to investigate this case. Later, they came up with this trick to lure the snake out of its hole, and find someone to do something in the name of Shenyin Pavilion to see if there would be any reaction from Shenyin Pavilion. As expected, there was no movement from Shenyin Pavilion, but instead, the Third Prince's people took General Wang away. No wonder General Wang has not attended the morning court recently.

"Where is General Wang now?"

The emperor has deliberately suppressed his anger.

"He is...in..."

Looking at the guilty expression of the Third Prince, the Emperor suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Did you torture him?"

Guessed right! The third prince knelt down instantly.

"Father, I didn't know he was General Wang!"

"Don't you know Wang Zhongming?"

"I know General Wang, but I didn't go there in person. I just heard that they caught a suspicious person, so I didn't know anything about it!"

"You dare to come here to claim credit even though you didn't catch anyone yourself! Go save them right now! Then come back and die!"

Something that is more than enough to succeed but more than enough to fail!

After receiving the order, the Third Prince got up from the ground in a panic and rushed out like a fly, fearing that if he was a little late, General Wang would die at the hands of his men!

After the person from Fengqi Palace knew about this, she couldn't sit still. Although she didn't know the emperor's plan, she didn't ask the third prince to investigate Shenyin Pavilion. Why did this rebellious son investigate this matter privately without saying anything?

But the question now is not why the third brother went to investigate privately, but that he not only ruined the emperor's plan, but also beat General Wang, which completely offended everyone! This idiot, he didn't do anything well, and in the end he had to let her, the queen mother, clean up his mess!

"Your Majesty, this was done by the Third Prince. The Emperor will not blame you."

The maid beside her comforted her.

"What do you know?"

Bai Qingning scolded.

"The Emperor knows that this matter has nothing to do with me, but that doesn't mean he won't vent his anger on me. He's been feeling a bit depressed these days and has no place to vent his anger. Now he finally gets the chance!"

After pacing in Fengqi Palace for a long time, Queen Baiyu finally came up with a way to save the situation.

"Come here, help me dress up! I have to wait for the emperor to come to court early!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the maids gathered around him in an orderly manner to help him wash and dress up.

Not only Queen Baiyu knew about this, but Xiao Zuochen, who was on his way back to the palace, also knew about it a long time ago, because he was the one who released this news through the spider web, with the purpose of fooling the third prince and implicating the queen. So when the third prince's men caught Wang Zhongming, he had already sent someone to forge the third prince's handwritten order, asking them to torture General Wang. However, the person who tortured was Xiao Zuochen's man, so General Wang only suffered some superficial injuries, which looked a little more serious.

The spider web is responsible for collecting news from the Jianghu. It grew up with Wangyan City three hundred years ago. Or to put it another way, the spider web is rooted in Wangyan City. After three hundred years, its influence has spread to various cities. In front of the spider web, the small red building is simply not worth mentioning.

The queen's small red building was only built a few years ago in order for her to gain a foothold in the harem.

At this time, Prince Yun was sitting on the soft cushion of the carriage with a heater in his arms, surrounded by all kinds of strange things. But the person sitting outside driving the carriage was not Yun Wei, but another man - Yun Feng, one of Prince Yun's twelve guards.

Unlike Yun Wei, Yun Feng is taller and thinner, and looks more immature and childish.

"Master, I guess the Third Prince has been scolded to death by now, right?"

Yun Feng is only seventeen years old, has a relatively cheerful personality, and talks more.

"Maybe."

Prince Yun was holding a scroll and was studying it seriously.

"Will she find out that it was us who sold the information to the Third Prince?"

"I think so~"

"If she knew the news was fake, she would have to ask us to return the money! And she also angered the emperor. The queen must hate us to death!"

Yun Feng frowned, and his expression looked as if the queen had come to his door.

"Spider Web never sells false information."

"Huh? Master, what you mean is..."

"We were just responsible for providing the information she wanted, and the information was that someone was carrying a bell and buying a lot of food."

"That's right! The information didn't say that he was from Shenyin Pavilion, it just said that he brought a golden bell! And this news is indeed true! Wow, Master, you are really good at deceiving people!"

"Hmm~"

"It's just a pity for General Wang that he had to be punished for no reason."

As Yun Feng spoke, his voice became softer.

"Are you dissatisfied with what I did?"

"No, Master...I just said that..."

"I remember that you and Wang Zhongming had some conflicts before, didn't you?"

"Master, are you talking about the last time we bought wine at the restaurant? That was a misunderstanding. General Wang is a brave and skilled fighter. I admire him very much!"

"You don't care."

"That's right~ I have learned a lot from you, the prince. We should be generous and not be petty!"

"Humph~"

King Yun snorted at him and then concentrated on reading, leaving Yun Feng alone outside talking to himself.
