Regarding the mysterious death of two princesses and one princess in the palace, it has long been regarded as an open secret in the capital city.
But in the end, it is about the face of the royal family. The top has been strictly suppressing it, and the people are not allowed to spread it privately, let alone the officials to discuss it. However, they can stop everyone's mouths, but they can't stop people's hearts.
The rumors of ghosts in the palace have never stopped, and in this world, there are many people who fear the theory of gods and ghosts. Therefore, the truth behind this murder case and the attention it has received have always been extraordinary.
It's just that everyone knows that this kind of misfortune comes out of the mouth, and you can't gossip clearly. After all, the person who died of his daughter or niece is the emperor aloof.
You dare to arrange the emperor's housework, I'm afraid you don't want to kill yourself!
But even though they all thought this way in their hearts, when the news came out, how many people didn't want to know
At this time, the court hall was full of officials who could enter the court hall. Everyone's eyes were focused on the handsome man in white in front of the center of the court hall.
Most of the people knew this white-clothed man. Back then, the disappearance of a child caused a lot of trouble in the capital, and many ministers and children suffered from it. The case that lasted for several years was finally solved by this little-known young gentleman.
This Mr. Liu, I heard that he left Beijing for business with the Third Prince, but now he returned to Beijing alone. The eyes of some ministers who were very familiar with Mr. Liu because of the child's disappearance case lit up when they saw him appear.
Your Majesty, when did you recall Mr. Liu back to the capital? Why didn't you hear any news? If they knew about it in advance, they would definitely come to visit.
Emperor Qian Ling looked at the expressions of the officials below, and frowned slightly. When he looked at Liu Wei again, Emperor Qian Ling's expression became slightly hard, and there was blackness in his eyes.
Seeing the emperor's expression, Qi Fu didn't understand why
That's right, as the case of the child's disappearance was so sensational back then, the popularity that Mr. Liu earned was as rich as it was. Dozens of children, dozens of important families, I can imagine how many important officials in the court have won the appreciation of Mr. Liu.
At that time, no one thought it was wrong, but because the sixteenth prince Rong Yun was also one of the missing children, the emperor was very happy at that time, and he had a lot of good feelings for Master Liu.
But today is different.
At present, there is great chaos in the court, and the Zhenge Gate has long been disrupted and reorganized. This Mr. Liu is clearly a member of the Third Prince. It is very likely that he will be gathered by the third prince.
Thinking of the emperor's deteriorating body, the prince's illness, and the seven princes watching over him, how could the emperor not be sensitive
Qi Fu thought, today's case might not be easy to solve. It's fine that Mr. Liu is really clean, but as long as there is even the slightest bit of ambiguity, the failure to solve the case in the end is the second most important thing.
"Haha, I heard that there is excitement in the palace, Your Majesty, the old minister is here!"
Suddenly there was a hearty male voice outside the hall, which was old but powerful, coming from afar.
All the officials in the court looked out together, and saw Yan Zhenli, the Marquis of Yue who had not been to the court for several months, walked in with a vigorous look.
Seeing the Marquis of the Yue Kingdom coming, many people in the court began to whisper, the first commander of the Qingyun Kingdom who used to hold a large army, Lord Yan, how come he still has time to go to the court today
This person who has been considered a semi-retired person, logically speaking, has not been involved in political affairs for a long time.
Seeing Yan Zhenli approaching, Emperor Qianling slowly narrowed his eyes, which were not cloudy but not clear.
Qi Fu next to him looked at him, and his heart was pounding. When the rebellion of King Quan happened a while ago, the emperor personally ordered Lord Yan to enter the palace to face the saint, but this Lord pretended to be seriously ill and had trouble walking , dragged on for several days, and did not enter the palace once.
Today, he came on his own initiative.
Qi Fu's eyes couldn't help but turned to Liu Wei who was wearing a white-clothed man in the hall.
Yan Qiu, the youngest son of the Marquis of the Yue State, was also one of the rescued children in the missing child case. Moreover, the Marquis of the Yue State seemed to be more optimistic about the Third Prince than the Crown Prince and the Seventh Prince.
Could it be
Qi Fu didn't dare to think too much. There are some things that a eunuch should not pay attention to. If he thinks too much, guesses too much, and shortens his life, it is not worth it.
"Old minister, I have met the emperor!" Yan Zhenli flicked his sleeves, bowed mightily, and greeted the Ninth Five-Year Honorable in the hall.
Emperor Qianling looked at Yan Zhenli with deep eyes for a long while, but did not immediately call Yan Zhenli down, but asked with an unpredictable expression: "Yan Qing is ill, but is he alright?"
Yan Zhenli said: "The emperor is thinking about it, and the old minister dare not be bad. It's not that, just after recovering from illness, he came to face the saint. I'm afraid that if you delay for a moment, you will make the emperor worry for a moment!"
Yan Zhenli spoke with sincerity, Qian Lingdi smiled faintly, and said: "Let's be flat."
Even if there are many barriers and shackles between the emperor and the important ministers, on this surface, it is not obvious, because both of them understand the way of being a king and the way of being a minister.
Emperor Qianling said directly to Yan Zhenli: "Liu Qing, you must be familiar with him. Today is the day when he will show his strength. It is not uncommon for you to witness it."
Yan Zhenli looked at Liu Wei at the side, and Liu Wei also looked at Yan Zhenli, but Liu Wei seemed to have no energy, a little distracted, just nodded slightly, and called out: "I have seen Lord Hou."
Yan Zhenli stretched out his hand, and patted Liu Wei on the shoulder, Lang Sheng said with a smile: "Lord Liu, long time no see, don't come here to be safe."
Liu Wei twitched the corners of her mouth and smiled forcedly.
Yan Zhenli looked at Qianling Emperor again, and said, "Lord Liu's ability has been displayed several months ago, and there must be many people who still remember it just like the old minister. Qiu Er I have been clamoring to meet my savior, Mr. Liu, after the morning court, I still hope that the emperor will allow Mr. Liu to accompany the old minister to the mansion to have a talk."
Liu Wei clearly felt that after Yue Guohou said this, many kind and grateful eyes rushed towards her from around.
Liu Wei humbly bowed to the Marquis of Yue, Liu Wei knew that what the Marquis said was just trying to win the favor of all the officials.
But Yue Guohou will suddenly appear in the court, Liu Wei can guess whose handwriting it is without having to think about it.
Liu Wei didn't look up to look for Rong Leng, but Liu Wei could feel his gaze.
Rong Leng will always guard her like this to make her feel at ease, as long as she turns around, she can see him.
So this time, let her guard him and let her comfort his heart.
Under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes, Liu Wei slightly cupped his hands towards the ninety-five-year-old statue on the dragon chair, his eyes tightened, and Liu Wei said cautiously: "Your majesty, what I want to say today is not just Princess Qinyang." case"
As soon as Liu Wei's words fell, hundreds of officials whispered from the hall.
Emperor Gan Ling looked at Liu Wei, and said angrily in a cold voice, "Liu Qing, do you know what you are talking about?"
Liu Wei bowed his head, carefully organized his words, and said: "I know, because I know, I need to make it clear in advance. What I want to talk about today is not just the case of Princess Qinyang. Shocking and jaw-dropping, but will the emperor explain all these to you one by one?"
