The empress is wild and cool, and I'll help her secure her throne

When Ye Qianxuan heard this, he immediately bowed down:

"I dare not speak nonsense!"

That’s the third princess of the dynasty!

The real royal family!

Although Ye Qianxuan was very sure that she was the real culprit behind the scenes, he couldn't say it out loud!

The court struggles have already caused him enough trouble, and Ye Qianxuan really doesn't want to be involved in this court struggle again!

"Your Majesty, all the princesses and princes in the palace are very close to the Grand Chamberlain!"

"And the only way to poison you this time is through the Imperial Kitchen Supervisor!"

"I'm going to kill those eunuchs! To serve as a warning to others!"

Bluebird had served the empress for many years and spoke indignantly at this moment.

"Need not."

The empress waved her hand and frowned in thought.

With the ancient teachings and etiquette of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Empress An Luoyu cannot kill all her brothers and sisters!

However, this kindness instead gave rise to the idea of ​​usurping the throne and seizing power among these brothers and sisters!

How dare you collude with that group of eunuchs to murder me!

The eunuch group's greatest support comes from his own royal brothers and sisters!

But just killing those eunuchs is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution!

On the contrary, it might provoke them to retaliate even more, leading to civil unrest in the Eastern Zhou palace and making the world a laughing stock!

The fundamental solution is to replace the Grand Chamberlain with one of our own so that these imperial brothers and sisters have no one to rely on!

The empress's gaze fell on Ye Qianxuan.

Ye Qianxuan is extremely intelligent, of course he can guess what the empress is thinking!

He felt a chill in his crotch and immediately bowed:

"If your Majesty has nothing else to do, I will take my leave!"

If you don’t leave now, Kun will be gone!

Although the position of Grand Chamberlain is very high, Ye Qianxuan does not want to practice the Book of the Golden Flower!

He hasn’t even eaten Chu Yao at home yet!

"Walk for what?"

The empress called out to Ye Qianxuan, then walked towards him with a sinister smile on her face:

"Since you are suspecting my Third Sister, then naturally it is up to you to provide evidence!"

"I order you to thoroughly investigate the cause of my poisoning within three days, otherwise I will punish you for slandering the royal family!"

Ye Qianxuan: ???

I provide you with ideas and also provide you with solutions if you make a mistake!

Isn’t this a trap for me?

"I never said that it was the Third Princess who poisoned Your Majesty!" Ye Qianxuan said quickly.

Heaven and earth conscience!

From beginning to end, I didn't say a single word about the "Third Princess"!

It's obviously you who's talking!

"You've said it now." The Empress's sinister smile widened. "Well done. I'll make an exception and promote you to Room 3, and I can agree to a reasonable condition."

"If you don't agree or can't do it well, you will be castrated first and then killed!"

Ye Qianxuan shuddered all over!

Got it!

This has to be done!

Ye Qianxuan could only bow down at the feet of this sinister empress and shouted:

"I obey your order..."

……

Back at Corpse Stitching Street, Ye Qianxuan moved his belongings from Room 3 of Xuanzi to Room 5 of Dizi.

This left all the corpse tailors on Corpse Stitching Street stunned!

Although people were already used to Ye Qianxuan's rocket-like promotion speed, jumping three levels overnight was something that had never happened in this Corpse Sewing Street since ancient times!

The craftsmen from Corpse Sewing Street came over one after another to flatter Ye Qianxuan, and Ye Qianxuan had to work very hard to get rid of them all.

Chu Yao immediately came over happily to rub Ye Qianxuan's shoulders and legs.

Chu Yao is most happy that her master can return home alive and well!

Ye Qianxuan took a sip of the tea that was gradually losing temperature, tapped the table with his fingertips, and thought about the empress's mission.

Currently, there are three solutions before him:

1. Contact Admiral Duan and Minister Kong, and use their power to investigate the Shangshenjian.

The advantage of this path is that it is very stable. The disadvantage is that the Shangshenjian must have prepared a scapegoat long ago, and he cannot be harmed at all, so the real culprit behind the scenes cannot be found, and it cannot serve as a warning to the third princess.

Second, unite the military officer group and the civil officer group to suppress the eunuch group, so that the eunuch group can no longer exert any power in this whole incident. After that, Ye Qianxuan will slowly investigate the evidence about the third princess' poisoning.

The advantage of this approach is that it can attack the root of the problem. The disadvantage is that Ye Qianxuan is now in a mortal conflict with the Civil Service Group, and it is probably difficult for him to gain the trust of the Civil Service Group again.

Third, take Chu Yao and run away, the farther the better, and never be found by that sinister empress for the rest of your life.

This road is undoubtedly a dead end. Before I even leave the capital, that squinty-eyed man will report me to the empress, and then I will be castrated and then killed!

These three solutions are not a choice between three, but an order in which they should be used.

The first point is easy to solve, but the second point, how to unite the civil service group, is a problem.

The third option... is the last resort if the first and second options fail.

If he dies, he must die on the way to escape. He must not be castrated first and then killed!

Ye Qianxuan was just thinking about it when he suddenly remembered the bet that the Minister of Revenue Qian Jianan had made with him regarding the food shortage issue!

Try to save the dead horse as much as possible!

go try it!

Immediately, Ye Qianxuan asked Chu Yao to take the empress's jade pendant and inform Duan Zhenggang and Kong Zhongzhi to thoroughly investigate the Shangshenjian!

Then, he picked up the box of jade that the empress had rewarded him and headed towards the Minister of Revenue's Mansion!

Outside the residence of the Minister of Revenue.

At this moment, the white cloth is fluttering and the words of mourning are hanging high!

Ye Qianxuan was stunned when he arrived at the door.

Is this a dead person?!

Ye Qianxuan looked puzzled, then carried the box and walked into the mansion!

The guards outside the mansion stopped him.

Ye Qianxuan said in a deep voice: "Go and report to Minister Qian, and tell him that Ye Qianxuan from Corpse Seaming Street wants to see you!"

When the guard heard the name Ye Qianxuan, he was stunned for a moment and looked at him with a frown: "How dare you come here!"

"What is there for me to be afraid of?" Ye Qianxuan is even tougher than him!

The bet between the two was made in front of the empress!

Now that I have solved the problem of food shortage, Minister Qian has a reason to see me!

The two guards looked at each other, one of them gritted his teeth, and hurriedly turned and entered the mansion.

Not long after, Qian Jianan, dressed in mourning clothes, came out with a group of guards!

When he saw Ye Qianxuan, he pointed at his nose and started to curse:

"You cheap bastard!"

"I know I lost the bet to you, and I deserve to be scolded by you for the entire day outside this Shangshu Mansion!"

"But today is the day of my mother's funeral!"

"Do you really have to rub salt into my wounds at this moment?"

"He has no morals!"

Ye Qianxuan immediately bowed his head and said gently:

"Minister Qian, please calm down first. Please don't misunderstand me!"

"I'm not here to scold you this time, but to give you a gift!"

As he spoke, Ye Qianxuan pushed the box of jade in front of Qian Jianan and opened it!

Qian Jianan took a quick look and discovered that the box was full of royal jades, each of which was extremely beautiful and a treasure from heaven!

Qian Jianan was stunned and stared at Ye Qianxuan: "You have made great contributions to solving the food shortage problem in Dongzhou. His Majesty has rewarded you with some jade. Why are you sending it to me?"

Isn't this just a weasel paying New Year's greetings to the chicken?!

What evil intentions is this lowly corpse seamstress harboring?

"Minister Qian, I am just a lowly person. What use do I have for these jades?"

When Ye Qianxuan said this, his heart was bleeding!

Damn it, in order to take advantage of the civil service group, you have to spend a lot of money to catch the wolf without sacrificing the child!

Ye Qianxuan showed a humble smile: "It is better to give it to Minister Qian. I hope Minister Qian will help me more in the future!"

Qian Jianan sneered. This lowly fellow finally realized what he should have!

"You are quite talented in poetry. You should have joined our civil service long ago. What's the point of hanging out with Duan Zhenggang and the servants of General Liu's mansion all day long?"

Qian Jianan was the most greedy person. He immediately waved his hand and asked his servants to take the whole box of jade into his mansion.

"Yes! I was blinded by lard before, and I did more than just such a stupid thing."

Ye Qianxuan's face was filled with regret: "All of this started because I listened to the slander of the Grand Chamberlain and attacked the Ministry of Rites!"

"Now that I think about it, it's really not worth it to offend bigwigs like Minister Bai and Minister Qian just for a thousand-year-old ginseng!"

Qian Jianan's eyes suddenly widened:

"What did you say?!"
