Dong dong dong, the sound of Chuntao's kowtow almost shook the tall Shang study room. After only two kowtows, a big bun swelled up on her forehead.
Rong Changan couldn't stand it anymore, and said distressedly: "Chuntao, what are you doing! Stop knocking."
Yan Li also never expected that Chuntao would kowtow to him: "I didn't make you kowtow! Stop now, otherwise..."
Chuntao burst into tears: "Even if the emperor kills Chuntao, Chuntao will also have to say something to the queen. Mr. Jin said that it is impossible for the queen to take over the emperor's country and become a female emperor herself. Similarly, it is impossible for the queen to kill her." The emperor's prince! She often sheds tears in Fengming Palace, complaining to herself that she can't bear children for the emperor, but the emperor loves her so much, and puts all the three thousand loves in the harem on her. If the emperor's blood is broken because of this, she will become Yan family sinner."
"She is always thinking of the emperor. When she heard that Empress Chu gave birth to a prince, she was too happy. How could she kill both Empress Chu's mother and her son? Please be careful with the emperor. There must be a traitor among them!"
Both Chuntao and Jin Renxin are willing to speak for Rong Changan, why Yan Li, who is a king, refuses to say something that will warm her heart
when!
The sword fell to the cold ground and jumped, emitting a cold light. A deep red mark appeared on Rong Changan's pink neck.
If there were no Jin Renxin and Chuntao, would Yan Li's sword really cut it off
Now what Rong Changan can see is Yan Li's lonely, hesitant, thinking back.
"According to your opinion, I have misunderstood Queen Rong?"
If it is true, Yan Li will be sad for the rest of his life; if it is not true, and Yan Li forced Rong Changan to death, then he will feel guilty for the rest of his life.
No one responded to Yan Li's words. After a while, Yan Li said again: "Do you want to sort out this matter again? Send a capable minister to thoroughly investigate it?"
It was Chun Tao who responded the most: "Yes, yes! The emperor will investigate carefully, otherwise the empress will die unjustly in Jiuquan, and she will die with regret."
Yan Li turned his face slightly, and a bright light shot out from the corner of his eyes: "Xue'er, what do you think?"
Rong Chang'an: "It's already a great honor for me that the emperor doesn't kill me, how dare I ask the emperor to review the case of Empress Rong again."
Yan Li smiled: "I'm afraid this is not what you have in mind?"
Rong Changan: "What I think, only I know. How the emperor thinks of me, only you know."
Yan Li: "Eunuch Lu, pass on my will..."
Eunuch Lu bowed his body and approached Yan Li: "Slave obeys orders!"
Yan Li: "Tomorrow, I will review the case of Empress Rong drowning the prince and assassinating Concubine Zixuan and Empress Chu. I will entrust Xuecai to handle this matter!"
Isn't this plot reversal too sudden? Except for Yan Li, everyone was shocked.
Rong Changan was even more so. Didn't he want to kill her just now? Why are you giving her the power to investigate the case now? Why is Yan Li sometimes cold and sometimes hot? It's really confusing.
Apart from being speechless, Rong Changan didn't know how to express his mood at the moment.
"Why, Xue Cairen doesn't want to accept this task?"
"I... I..." Rong Changan stuttered, she really wanted to slap herself, so that she could wake up from the blind state.
Yan Li smiled at the corner of his mouth: "What's wrong with you? What did I ask you? If you don't agree, then I won't mention Queen Rong's matter anymore, and you are not allowed to mention it again. Otherwise, don't blame me for not being sympathetic!"
Chuntao squeezed her eyes, bit her lip, and was so anxious that she almost helped Rong Changan answer!
Rong Changan calmed down a little before he replied: "The concubine is willing to accept this task. I just have a request."
"Hmph!" Yan Li seemed a little unhappy, "Looking at the entire palace, only you have the most requests from me. Tell me, what is the request? You won't let me let you go again, right?"
Embarrassment flashed across Rong Chang'an's beautiful face: "No... no! Because this matter involves many dignitaries, I, Xue'er, is just a talented person with a low status. If you want to ask them questions, they won't cooperate..."
Yan Li had already walked to the imperial throne and sat down. After heh-hh, his hands were cold, he spread out the white paper, moved the jade tube, and danced on the paper: "I know what you want! I will write you an order now, you take it With this decree, you can ask everyone. I will give you a Shangfang sword later, and you will kill anyone who dares to stop you from investigating the case."
Suddenly, Yan Li raised his sharp eyes, "Concubine Xue, are you satisfied with the two things I give you?"
All the words touched Rong Changan's heart, how could she not be satisfied!
"The concubine leads the decree..."
Suddenly, Rong Changan trembled slightly: "Your Majesty, you... what did you just say? What did you call me?"
Yan Li smiled: "I call you Concubine Xue, can't I?"
There was a buzzing sound, as if a big stone fell to the bottom of the well, and there was a bang.
"Concubine?"
Yan Li: "If you become a noble concubine, no one will say that you are of low status and cannot investigate cases."
Rong Changan: "..."
Eunuch Lu said happily: "Concubine Xue, why don't you thank the Lord for your kindness?"
Chuntao had already got up from the ground, tugging at Rong Changan's arm: "Thank you!"
This soaring is too fast! It has not been a month since Rong Changan entered the palace, and he has been promoted from an ordinary court lady to a noble concubine!
"My lord, I'm not ready yet."
Yan Li's eyes were cold and stern: "Why, you don't want to accept it? Then I will tear up the imperial decree!"
"No!" This is an opportunity to return her innocence, how could Rong Changan not seize it! Plop, she knelt down at the foot of the palace steps, "Thank you Lord Ron!"
Yan Li: "Very good, I hope you can give a convincing ending to Queen Rong's matter."
Rong Chang'an: "This concubine will definitely do my best to find out the truth of the matter."
Yan Li nodded, he hoped that the truth of the matter was as Chuntao said.
"Remember, investigating the case is important, but protecting yourself is more important, understand?"
Rong Changan's heart at this moment is warm and warm, as if he took out his heart and snuggled up beside the fire.
Eunuch Lu wiped the sweat off his face. Fortunately, there was no bloodshed in Shangshufang.
It would be unlucky if blood was splashed on the floor tiles here. The moment when the sword blade pierced the human skin and splashed blood was the last thing Eunuch Lu wanted to see. It's just that he has a doubt in his heart: Xue'er is just a girl, so asking her to investigate such an important case, is it feasible
Just relying on an imperial decree and Shang Fang's sword, could she be unimpeded? The case of Rong Changan involved many people, such as Lin Hai and Xiong Yanchao of the Northern Army, such as Chu Lin, the current deputy commander of the Guards
How can Yan Li feel at ease handing over to Xue'er who has no experience or even connections
But Yan Li is not a fool, he asked "Xue'er" to investigate, and he had his own reasons.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a person waving to him outside Shang's study. He turned his head slightly to look, but it was a little eunuch, his face flushed from cold, hiding under the marble steps and beckoning to him.
It seems to be a very important matter, otherwise the little eunuch wouldn't have waved to him at this moment, after all, he is now in the Shang's study, accompanying the emperor!
