Views:

Luo Qingyan was about to say something when he heard a sound from outside.

"Ma'am, Eunuch Liu is back."

Yun Chang stood up and went out of the inner hall, and saw Liu Wen'an standing in the hall, and Luo Yi followed behind Liu Wen'an, with his head slightly lowered.

"How's it going?" Yun Chang asked, with eagerness in her voice.

"It's almost fooled me." Liu Wen'an responded: "When those adults heard His Majesty's voice, they all had somewhat surprised expressions on their faces, but even so, they didn't show it too obviously. After reporting the matter, they each retreated. The servant asked someone to follow several adults, and they left from the Tai Chi Hall, but they did not stay in the palace, they all left the palace."

Yun Chang nodded, and slightly loosened the hand holding the embroidered handkerchief tightly: "That's good, that's good."

After finishing speaking, he asked again: "Several adults said that they should report to His Majesty about matters related to the Xia Kingdom, Jiangshan and Sheji, but I don't know, what is it?"

Liu Wen'an pursed his lips: "I feel that most of the so-called major events concerning the country and society are just excuses for them to meet His Majesty. The things reported by the adults are all ordinary things, and only the minister of the Ministry of Industry reported them. The reported matter is a little more important."

"The minister of the Ministry of Industry said that he has noticed some strange phenomena in recent days. Many craftsmen and artists under the name of the Ministry of Industry have recently said that they have something to do and have left Jincheng. He sent someone to pay attention , Those craftsmen and artists seem to have gone to Liucang, Siyang, Nanyang and other places. He felt that it was quite strange, so he came here to report."

Yun Shang narrowed her eyes, and a flash of deep thought flashed in her eyes: "You send someone there, and then invite the Minister of the Ministry of Industry to come back, and then let Luo Yi continue to pretend to be His Majesty behind the screen with his voice, and ask the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, what is this?" When did things start to happen, what did the artisans who went there mostly do, it is best to ask him to give a list... "

Seeing Yun Shang's reaction like this, Liu Wen'an also understood the importance of the matter, nodded hurriedly, and left again with Luo Yi.

Yun Chang pursed her lips and looked at the backs of the two, frowning tightly, stood in the hall for a while before turning back to the inner hall.

As soon as she entered the inner hall, Yun Chang saw Luo Qingyan frowning slightly with a serious expression.

"Your Majesty must have heard what Eunuch Liu said just now. Your Majesty feels that..."

Luo Qingyan tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair: "Liu Wen'an said that those officials left the Tai Chi Hall after they reported the matter in the Tai Chi Hall. Liu Wen'an also sent someone to follow them to confirm that they had left the palace before they left Came here to report?"

Yun Chang nodded, seeing that Luo Qingyan's complexion was a little more serious, he pondered for a moment, and then asked softly: "Your Majesty feels that there is something wrong with this matter?"

"Naturally not." Luo Qingyan said with a cold expression on his face: "Before we guessed that the person who tried everything possible to see me outside the Tai Chi Hall before, even if there was no real culprit who poisoned me, there must have been him. partner."

"If the servant of the household department is not their accomplice, and the person who poisoned him is someone from Xia Houjing's side. What the servant of the household department reported today is to stab the hornet's nest of Xia Houjing's faction."

Yun Chang's brain was agitated, and he immediately reacted: "Your Majesty is worried that the servant of the household department will be in danger?"

Yun Shang hurriedly said: "Then you want to send a secret guard to protect the household servant?"

"I have already sent someone to go." Luo Qingyan pursed his lips: "It's just that those courtiers have already left the palace. It would be okay if they were in the palace, but it has been so long since they left the palace. , I don’t know, it’s too late.”

Yun Chang's heart sank, and she couldn't help frowning even more: "Liu Wen'an..."

Luo Qingyan naturally understood what she was talking about, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Liu Wen'an, I still believe it. He has always been considerate in his work, and today he will send people to follow those officials to report after seeing them leave the palace. Maybe he is just worried. , Those courtiers will notice something is wrong and cause trouble. He may not have thought that his carefulness may cause bad things."

Yun Shang nodded when she heard Luo Qingyan say this, and didn't say anything more.

There was silence in the hall for a while, and I don't know how long it took before there was another sound outside. Yun Chang stood up and saw from the window that it was Liu Wen'an leading Luo Yi back.

Yun Chang's gaze paused on Liu Wen'an's face, seeing his serious expression, he couldn't help but thump in his heart.

Sure enough, as soon as he left the inner hall, Yun Chang heard Liu Wen'an report in a deep voice: "Mother, something has happened. After the servant of the household department came out of the palace, he met an assassin on the way back to the mansion, and he was... assassinated and died."

Yun Chang tightened the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, and after a long while, she responded, "I know."

After a pause, he continued: "Only the servant of the household department had an accident? Where are the other adults?"

"The slave asked about it together. After the servant of the household department left the palace, several other adults invited him to sit in the theater. The servant of the household department said that there was something to do at home, so he didn't go with him, so he separated from the other adults. Your Excellency is fine, only the Minister of the Household Department has an accident."

Yunshang closed her eyes slightly, and nodded after a long while: "Okay, I know. You send someone to send something to the Household Minister's house to appease you. Tell the Ministry of Punishment to go to the place where the Household Minister's accident happened. See if the assassin has left any clues."

Liu Wen'an bowed his head and responded, and Yun Chang waved his hand again: "Back off."

Both Liu Wen'an and Luo Yi left.

Yun Shang entered the inner hall with a tired look on her face: "Everything is as His Majesty expected."

Luo Qingyan nodded, and after a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and said, "It seems that the servant of the household department is not on the same boat as them. It's a pity..."

Yun Shang was also a little speechless, her throat was so dry that she didn't know what to say.

After a long time, Luo Qingyan said again: "Judging from the current signs, the other party poisoned me, which will kill me in two days, and it will be your birthday in two days. They seem to be preparing to Two days later, there was a lot of commotion..."

Yun Chang nodded, as she had expected so before.

At that time, something happened to Luo Qingyan, she was isolated and helpless, and it was revealed that Chengye was an idiot, she could not have children, and the other party could drag her to hell in one fell swoop.

Yun Chang pursed her lips. Regarding what happened two days later, although she already had a preliminary solution in her mind, it was just that Luo Qingyan was poisoned in just one day, so many things happened, and her birthday was still two days away However, it is not easy to survive these two days.

Yun Shang kept rubbing the embroidery pattern of the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, thinking in her heart...
