A few days later, regarding the assassination of the prime minister, the Dali Temple and the Ministry of War continued to exert pressure for several days. Despite all precautions, many criminal evidences were still pointed at Xing Shuo's head. The piles of ironclad evidence were like mountains, and Emperor Ping Chong naturally knew It was a frame-up, and he wanted to protect him, but Wang Han's party feathers bit him like a mad dog in the court, so Emperor Ping Chong had to decree that Xing Shuo should be dismissed and investigated.

At the same time, Xuefangyuan found out about the silk and satin business between Luming and Puyang, but none of the major cloth houses in Puyang had any contact with Luming. .

Just as Bandit Chu was in a state of desperation, news finally came from the south.

Fengyi Palace.

Inside the bead curtain, the queen was lazily lying on the imperial concubine's couch, her phoenix eyes were half closed, although she was no longer young, she still had charm and grace.

In front of the imperial concubine's bed, there was a batch of jadeite bracelets that had just been brought in from outside the palace. They were all transparent and high-quality, and were made by skilled craftsmen.

Queen Wang randomly picked up a bracelet, looked at it twice, threw it on the ground and broke it, the priceless item became worthless in an instant.

"Aren't you here yet?" Queen Wang asked Shang Gong beside her, her voice was very low, but with obvious impatience.

Shang Gong hurriedly replied: "Maybe just in time for the emperor to discuss matters with the ministers, the empress will wait a little longer."

Queen Wang snorted coldly, and said, "Deal with the matter? The government is in the hands of my elder brother and Prime Minister Han. What can he worry about?"

At this time, the servant who had gone out came back in a hurry, bowed and bowed inside, and said: "As for the Queen, Your Majesty said that he will stay in the Nuan Pavilion all day today to approve papers, so he will not come to Fengyi Palace."

Queen Wang frowned when she heard this, and directly swept the jade bracelet in front of her to the ground, the debris splashed everywhere, and the palace people immediately knelt down on the ground, silent like cicadas.

"When did this palace invite him personally? He is fine, and he dared not come. Maybe he was afraid that this palace would feed him a glass of poisoned wine." Queen Wang said with a smile, "but yes, if it weren't for this palace's emperor If he didn't sit on the crown prince and couldn't inherit the great rule, how could it be his turn to survive, and he actually instigated that bastard Concubine De to fight me?"

Empress Wang was very angry, she inadvertently lowered her head and saw that a maid's hand was very close to the slag, she raised her foot to step on it, and crushed the slag hard, the maid's painful arm trembled, but she used her teeth firmly He bit his lip and dared not make a sound.

When Queen Wang raised her foot, the maid's hand had already been pierced by shards, bloody and bloody.

Seeing the distressed appearance of the palace maid, Queen Wang calmed down a little, and said, "Drag it out, it's so dirty that it's in the way of my eyes."

The minister next to him hurriedly asked someone to take the maid away, and then walked over on his knees to change a pair of shoes for the queen.

The palace people buried their heads very low, their shoulders trembling, for fear that they would be the next one.

"Your Majesty, the Fifth Highness is here."

A servant came in to pass the message, and the queen raised her hand to let someone clean it up quickly, and the palace people breathed a sigh of relief for a while.

The old people in Fengyi Palace all know that when the queen was still the concubine of the East Palace, Emperor Ping Chong was still the crown prince at that time. She intends to help matchmaking, but she still can't wait to see her, shed tears all day long, and she was pregnant with Ji Sheng because the prince got drunk and admitted to the wrong person.

Gradually, her heart died.

Later, the Marquis of Wu'an's treason case happened, and the princess' elder brother, Wang Taboo, was also involved. The princess begged the prince for help, but the prince chose to stand by for his own benefit. Therefore, the princess broke with him, and fell ill after Wu'anhou and her elder brother were put to death. I'm sorry, the fragrance disappears and the jade dies.At that time, it was the turn of the mansion, and she was supposed to be promoted to the crown princess, but the crown prince refused to take care of the old feelings, and even after he ascended the throne, he first pursued her as the crown princess with the reason of deep love. Empress Huai made her son Ji Xuan the crown prince, and was forced by Wang Han's forces to give her a successor.

For Queen Wang, only her elder brother and son are rare consolations.

"My son sees my mother!"

"Get up quickly, I haven't seen my son for a long time."

Queen Wang smiled and beckoned Ji Sheng to sit beside her, and ordered the palace servants to bring up the snacks she had prepared a long time ago.

Ji Sheng laughed and said, "But the queen mother made my favorite food herself?"

"If the queen mother doesn't do it for you, who will she do it for?"

"Let those people below do it, how tiring it is for the queen mother to do it by herself."

"It's okay to be idle around, why don't I make some for you, you can have two bites every time you enter the palace."

Ji Sheng frowned and asked, "You and Father are still the same?"

"You don't need to mention him. Today I am discussing with him something that cannot be settled on the anniversary of the death of the Empress Dowager. He doesn't even want to come to see me."

Ji Sheng took the dim sum handed over by Queen Wang, ate several pieces, and said, "Don't worry, queen mother, when I become emperor, you will be the most honorable woman in the world, why should you suffer such anger?"

"The queen mother will do her best to help you." Queen Wang smiled, then suddenly remembered, and asked, "Do you know the identity of that Rongge in Xuefangyuan?"

Ji Cheng was stunned for a moment, and said, "It's just an ordinary singer, and it's a little better than the others."

"Don't hide it from me. I heard that he is from Wei Xinglin's side. Although that old guy Wei Xinglin is at the end of his strength, he still has some skills. How can you get so close to his people?"

"Oh, queen mother, with uncles and the others around, what kind of storms can be caused? Rongge just depends on Wei Xinglin for a meal. After Rongge becomes my person, he will eat delicious food and drink spicy food, so he will naturally forget about Wei Xinglin. .”

Queen Wang hated iron and said: "You are so virtuous? It's fine to mess around in the house on weekdays, raise some young men to make the princess angry, but now you have to provoke people who shouldn't be, what do you want the queen mother to say about you?" .”

"Mother! You are worrying too much. Ronge is a song that sings. Your son likes to listen to it. It's as simple as that!"

Without waiting for Queen Wang to speak again, Ji Sheng got up to bid farewell, and walked directly outside Fengyi Palace, Shang Gong hurriedly chased him out.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is also doing it for your own good. It is absolutely wrong to be angry with Your Majesty."

Ji Sheng turned his head and glared at Shang Gong, making her tremble in fright.

"Take care of your tongues. If His Highness finds out who is talking too much, just drag them to the hunting ground and feed them to the dogs!"

A thunderstorm came again, and the dense clouds covered the day like night, and the pouring rain hit the umbrella surface, making the umbrella holders work harder than usual.

"I went out to do errands in this bad weather, and I must be covered in muddy water when I go back. It's not bad to not be cold."

"Isn't it? We can only send us errands without background."

"Hush, Mr. Zhao is here too."

Beside the river in the east of the city, Zhao Liangyue brought several principals together with several officials from the Ministry of Industry to inspect the embankment that had collapsed due to the recent torrential rain, and discuss subsequent repairs.Originally, this was not Zhao Liangyue's job, but the official in charge took sick leave, and the others were rich and expensive, pushing and shoving each other, so Zhao Liangyue brought someone here by himself.

After the group checked the situation on the river bank, Zhao Liangyue proposed to go to a nearby restaurant, drink a bowl of hot wine, draw up a brief document, and then go back separately.

How procrastinated they were when they came, and how fast they were when they were about to go back. A group of people rushed to the restaurant in a hurry, wishing that the soles of their feet would be blown up by the wind.

When walking halfway, there was the sound of horseshoes not far away, apparently coming towards them, so everyone retreated to the side of the street.

Through the heavy rain, Zhao Liangyue saw a figure riding a horse from a distance, it was Bandit Chu.

The others naturally saw it too, moved to the side, and whispered behind Zhao Liangyue's back.

"That's not Chu Shangshu, where are you going in the rain?"

"It seems to be in the northwest direction, it should be in the palace."

"I heard that after Xingshuo's dismissal and investigation, no one has taken over the Jinluan Guard Office. It is Mr. Chu's right-hand man. Could it be that there is a chance for the officer to be reinstated?"

Bandit Chu's horse was in a hurry, and he walked in front of the crowd in a blink of an eye. They stopped talking and bowed down to salute.

Zhao Liangyue raised his head and met Chu Bandit's eyes. Although both of them were embarrassed by the heavy rain, Chu Bandit grinned at him. The contemptuous smiles from the imperial court facing the impeachment of the officials were more like a child getting what he wanted for a long time.

Zhao Liangyue knew that the right time and place had come, and Bandit Chu was about to make people.

When Chu bandits left, one of the principals was bold and curious, and came over to test with a smile: "Master Zhao, even Chu Shangshu has to go out to do errands in such a thunderstorm weather, I feel really guilty."

Zhao Liangyue glanced at the principal, didn't buy it, smiled lightly, and said: "It seems that your lord really has a heart that is dedicated to serving the country and the people, then I think the rain is very urgent, and there may be problems in other parts of the river. Why don't you take someone along the river to check it later?"

The principal immediately shut up honestly.

When Zhao Liangyue finished his work and was playing chess with Wei Xinglin inside the study of the household department, the news of Bandit Chu's actions spread, and other officials outside the study began to discuss.

"I asked for an order to search Feixialou and Luming? What is Chu Shangshu going to do? Isn't that a restaurant or a private house?"

"As far as your elm head is concerned, it is said that Feixialou is inextricably related to Prime Minister Han, and I guess Luming is also related."

"Where is Luming, why haven't I heard of it?"

"It is said that a piano master from Jiangnan lives there, but few people have seen it."

"Then what important things are hidden in these two places, which can make Chu Shangshu make such a big fight, and won't Prime Minister Han stop it?"

"I don't think it's going to work. Prime Minister Han is in control..."

"Shh, speak carefully!"

"There's nothing wrong with that, they're all from the household department now."

"You are not giving yourself a way to survive. Have you forgotten what happened to Commander Xing?"

Everyone felt a chill down their spine, and stopped talking nonsense.

Wei Xinglin and Zhao Liangyue sat on the inside, listening quietly from beginning to end. After the outside became quiet, Wei Xinglin asked with a smile: "Do you think there is hope?"

Zhao Liangyue said: "13 years, this has been too long, no one will give up this opportunity, even if they lose today, they die tomorrow."

Wei Xinglin couldn't help smiling, and said in a thick and hoarse voice, "Listen, there's the sound of wind and rain outside."
