The imperial concubine is charming and charming, and only seeks power and wealth

Even if the shackles and shackles are removed, the escorted prisoners should follow the officers and soldiers and walk on foot.

It was afternoon now and near the end of the year, so there were many people walking on the street.

Going to the Dali Temple for trial was one thing, but if Xie Anning was escorted into the Dali Temple on foot in front of everyone and watched by the people, it would be a real loss of face.

Ishihara Qing didn't hesitate for a moment. After saying "I'm sorry", he put his arm around her waist and carried her directly onto the horse. Then he turned over and sat behind her.

Xie Anning's body was stiff, but he showed no sign of struggling.

She knows what is important and what is not.

After all, compared to being escorted by officers and soldiers on foot to the Dali Temple, riding on the same horse with the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice seemed less important.

Anyway, to the outside world, she was already the mistress of the house who had divorced her husband and returned home to keep a male lover.

It's just a romantic scandal. Every major family in the capital city has some romantic affairs for the people to talk about after dinner.

…………

Jiang Lingyue didn't get the news until the next day that the Xie family, including their masters and servants, had been imprisoned in the Dali Temple to await trial.

Even His Majesty the Emperor.

Because when the case was handed over to the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice for investigation, Qi Junyi granted them such broad authority that no matter whether they were royal relatives or prominent nobles, as long as they were suspected, they could be arrested and interrogated at any time without reporting.

Therefore, Chen Ziwei did not need anyone's consent to recommend someone.

Yesterday was the last day of the three-day period, and there was a great commotion in the capital.

The Dali Temple not only detained the Xie family, but also the Zhongshu Ling Mansion, Yongle Marquis Mansion, and several other less prominent families.

After an all-night trial, on the morning of New Year's Eve, which should have been the day for family reunions, Chen Ziwei and Ishihara Qing, both dressed in official uniforms, entered the palace.

Inside Ning'an Palace.

As the year draws to a close, the emperor, who no longer needs to review memorials, has woken up early, but has not gotten up.

On the bed covered with layers of curtains, the little girl in his arms was sleeping soundly.

Her face was rosy, her lips were slightly pouting, her breathing was steady, and she nestled in his arms, looking especially well-behaved.

Qi Junyi lowered his eyes, staring at the person in his arms without blinking, then reached out to touch her curled eyelashes, and couldn't help smiling.

Just lying on the bed and watching her sleep all day, he felt it was a particularly perfect thing.

But, happiness is meant to be broken.

There was a knock on the door.

"Your Majesty, Lord Chen from the Dali Temple and Lord Shi from the Ministry of Justice request an audience. They are waiting at the entrance of Guang'an Hall."

Liu Rong's extremely low voice came from outside.

The three-day deadline has arrived, and it's time for these two to report back.

Finally having a legitimate reason, Qi Junyi tightened his arms, hugged the girl's shoulders in his arms, and lowered his head to kiss her.

Jiang Lingyue was so tired that she wanted to stay in bed for a while while holding the quilt. He kissed her until she couldn't breathe, and then he let her go. When her mind became clearer, he held the back of her neck and pulled her into a warm and cool embrace.

Qi Junyi lowered his head and kissed her closed eyes, "Yueyue, wake up, come with me to Guang'an Palace."

They had been patiently waiting for three days for the Crazy Horse case. He had already told her last night that she must not sleep in tonight and must go with him to hear the results of the investigation into the case.

But Jiang Lingyue was too sleepy to pay attention to him.

"Don't you want to know who is behind this?" Qi Junyi reached out and pinched her nose.

Not really interested in knowing.

Jiang Lingyue turned her head away from his hand and frowned, saying, "It's the same if you tell me after you find out the truth."

So lazy.

He also knows how to cheat.

But Qi Junyi just fell for it.

"Really not going?" He smiled and said, "I told you in advance that the case might implicate someone you know. Once the decision is made, if you show any compassion, I can't take back my decision."

As a ruler, the worst thing you should do is to change your orders every day.

All decisions in Guang'an Hall are no joke.

These words made Jiang Lingyue, who was still a little dazed, open her eyes immediately.

"What acquaintance?"

Qi Junyi looked at her with a smile, "It's hard to say, I guess it's just those few."

"..." Jiang Lingyue glared at him and sat up obediently, "Let's go!"

She knew that on the day she got into trouble, this man ordered the closure of several major city gates and also surrounded the residences of several officials.

Among them are the Jiang family and her maternal grandparents' family.

……so?

She didn't avenge the torture she had endured over the years, but her father and brothers had no intention of letting her go?

Also, the Yongle Marquis Mansion.

Concubine Xian originally planned to use Huanqingsan, and looking for Concubine Hui to form an alliance was just a cover. In fact, she had already contacted the family and was ready to take action outside the palace?

With many questions in mind, Jiang Lingyue began to change clothes.

By the time I had finished washing up, breakfast was served.

Qi Junyi pulled the anxious little girl to sit down, personally served her a bowl of rice porridge, and said slowly: "There is no rush."

Indeed, there is no reason to let the emperor meet his ministers on an empty stomach.

So, by the time the imperial sedan chair arrived at Guang'an Palace, Chen Ziwei and Ishihara Qing had already been waiting for more than half an hour.

But it also gave them time to prepare their speeches.

The two men entered the hall with their eyes lowered, bowing and saying, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

"No gift."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Chen Ziwei and Ishihara Qing saluted, they stood up straight and raised their eyes slightly, which had been lowered.

Then I saw the emperor at the top, and those around him...

Both of them were startled.

Anyone who can reach such a position is a dragon among men and has witnessed countless big scenes.

However, when they saw the woman beside the emperor, they still lost their composure.

The Dahan Dynasty lasted for three hundred years and had countless concubines.

Countless people entered Guang'an Hall to accompany the emperor.

The most absurd thing is to sit on the emperor's lap to show his favor.

And now, Jiang Lingyue, the most favored imperial concubine in the harem, was not sitting on the emperor's lap, but sitting directly on the throne side by side with him.

She knew it was against the rules.

But His Majesty the Emperor insisted on asking her to sit down, and even she herself had no way of refusing.

She had been feeling very uncomfortable, but when she saw the two ministers in such a state, she felt less uncomfortable.

For a minister, looking directly at the emperor's face for such a long time is considered to be a breach of etiquette in front of the emperor.

Fortunately, the two reacted quickly, suppressed the shock in their hearts, and bowed their heads to apologize.

Qi Junyi didn't mean to care.

He simply shook the hand of the person beside him and said calmly, "You two dear ministers have come together. I believe you have found out something about the Crazy Horse case."

"Yes!"

Chen Ziyi pulled a memorial from his sleeve, raised it with both hands, and said, "Within three days, I have interrogated several families, including Liu, Li, Jiang, and Xie. After questioning, I found that Sheng Guang and the two concubines in the harem were also implicated in this case."

The two concubines in the harem were also involved...

Jiang Lingyue blinked.

Only the queen in the harem is qualified to be respectfully addressed as "Empress" by a third-rank official.

Besides the three concubines, there was only one main person, Chen Shuyi.

Concubine Hui has been deposed again.

Then the only ones left are Shufei, Xianfei and Chen Shuyi.

Chen Shuyi is Chen Ziwei's biological sister. If it were her, Chen Ziwei would not look so calm.

So, the answer is obvious.

It turned out that not only the virtuous concubine intervened, but the virtuous concubine was also busy.

Also, which company is 'Xie' from?
