Wen Mingxuan was originally the prefect of Kangcheng, but now the position of the prefect is vacant, and the capital has not sent anyone here.
The reason is unclear at the moment, but since Jiang Yuanhan is planning to attack Jiang Dejia, Wen Qingzhu is also mentally prepared.
Passing through Luocheng, Fu Lie stayed at Wen Qingzhu's repeated insistence.
Also staying with him was Fu Jiajun.
Before Wen Qingzhu was about to leave, someone behind him shouted: "Princess, stay!"
Looking back, the visitors turned out to be Wei Lin and Wei Hai.
They reined in their horses and stopped in front of Wen Qingzhu. Wei Hai, who had always been serious and rigid, had a hint of excitement in his eyes at this moment.
On the contrary, Wei Lin, who had a good relationship with Wen Qingzhu in the past, had a complicated look on his face, as if he was hesitant to speak.
"I heard that Mr. Wei Lin is now the prefect of Luocheng. Congratulations!" Wen Qingzhu was the first to say a polite word.
The two people in front of them quickly saluted and said hello.
Wen Qingzhu nodded lightly in agreement, and then Wei Lin said: "I suggest that the regent and the princess enter the country together to meet the saint."
"Yes! Princess, don't be impulsive! Your Majesty, he..." Wei Hai was not good at words and wanted to explain, but also wanted Wen Qingzhu to be a married person, so he stopped talking.
Wen Qingzhu smiled lightly and said very confidently: "I'll be fine."
Turning around and riding her horse, her figure quickly disappeared from their eyes.
Wei Lin looked back and felt that he had overlooked something.
Wei Hai beside him was very anxious: "If the emperor really captures the princess, the regent will only be passive!"
"Xiaohai, don't worry, the princess is fine." Wei Lin said as he turned the horse's head. He needed to confirm something.
Two days later, Wen Qingzhu finally arrived in the capital.
She rode a horse and walked down the street, looking at the people on the road. Everyone had either fear or exhaustion on their faces.
Occasionally, he looked up at Wen Qingzhu, as if he had seen something terrible, so he quickly lowered his head and left quickly.
Wen Qingzhu went directly to the palace gate, dismounted and handed over the palace badge.
At the same time, he glanced at the imperial guards stationed at the palace gate. Everyone's faces were so unfamiliar.
While she was observing them, they were also observing Wen Qingzhu.
After confirming that the badge was correct, the guard captain handed it back to Wen Qingzhu and said at the same time: "Princess, please wait a moment. Please allow me to go and report."
"Yes." Wen Qingzhu nodded and glanced at Beidou and Xi'er beside him.
She didn't want to stir up trouble, so she came alone this time just to test the emperor's background.
After waiting for nearly an hour, no one came out.
Wen Qingzhu looked at the deep palace passage in front of him and touched his chin.
Maybe Jiang Yuanhan doesn't want to see him, or does he mean he doesn't want to see him at this time
"Well, please let me know, brother guard, if I have anything to do here, I'll leave first!" Wen Qingzhu didn't want to wait any longer. There were still many things that she needed to confirm in person.
Several guards looked at each other, and no one dared to answer.
Just as Wen Qingzhu turned around, Xiao Fangzi's voice came from behind: "Princess, stay here! Your Majesty is here."
Wen Qingzhu turned around and saw Xiao Fangzi holding a fly whisk and leading Jiang Yuanhan, who was wearing casual clothes, walking out step by step.
"See your Majesty!" The imperial guards at the gate knelt down in unison.
Wen Qingzhu didn't make any movement and just stared at the person coming.
At first glance, Jiang Yuanhan has only grown a lot taller, his temperament has become much more mature and sharp, and there seems to be no change in other aspects.
Jiang Yuanhan stopped in front of Wen Qingzhu, pursed his thin lips tightly, and stood with his hands behind his back, fully displaying the majesty of the young emperor.
"I see your Majesty!" Wen Qingzhu knelt down on one knee and performed a military salute.
The surroundings were quiet, and the shadow in front of her shrouded her, which invisibly put a lot of pressure on her.
After about a quarter of an hour, Jiang Yuanhan said, "No courtesy."
Wen Qingzhu stood up, her body a little unsteady, and while shaking, a hand held her arm.
She looked up in shock, only to see Jiang Yuanhan had stopped and turned around.
"Come with me."
Looking at Jiang Yuanhan's back, Wen Qingzhu was a little confused. He felt that Jiang Yuanhan was still the same Jiang Yuanhan as before, not who Jiang Dejia and the others said.
Entering the Xuanzheng Hall, Jiang Yuanhan rejected everyone, including Xi'er and Beidou.
Jiang Yuanhan was sitting on the dragon chair, with one hand on the desk and a red pen in the other, seeming to be thinking about something.
Wen Qingzhu stood in front of him, looking around secretly.
After a moment, Jiang Yuanhan apologized with a trembling voice: "I'm sorry, that's not what I wanted to do!"
Hearing this, Wen Qingzhu looked up and found that Jiang Yuanhan's hand holding the pen was shaking. His eyes were full of fear, but there was a faint and weird smile on the corner of his mouth.
When he was talking, his smile was gone, but once he stopped talking, the smile that made Wen Qingzhu very comfortable appeared again.
Wen Qingzhu walked up step by step: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? If you have anything, feel free to tell me."
"Don't come over!" Jiang Yuanhan suddenly threw away his pen. He pushed the table with one hand and wanted to retreat, but grabbed the armrest of the dragon chair with the other hand and wanted to move forward.
Not only did these words not make Wen Qingzhu retreat, but instead made her step forward faster.
Wen Qingzhu was about to speak when he suddenly saw the paper in front of Jiang Yuanhan filled with words written in red pen: Kill her!
"Is this?" Wen Qingzhu looked up at Jiang Yuanhan and found that Jiang Yuanhan's expression became extremely strange.
At the same time, he grabbed Wen Qingzhu's wrist with one hand and pulled her forward.
Jiang Yuanhan's face came closer, his eyes full of possessiveness and bloodthirsty murderous intent: "Wen Qingzhu! I didn't expect you to dare to enter the palace alone?"
"Are you Yuanhan?" The two people were very close. Wen Qingzhu was very sure that the person in front of him was Jiang Yuanhan, but his expression was so unfamiliar.
Suddenly, Jiang Yuanhan pinched Wen Qingzhu's chin with one hand, cracked the corners of his mouth, and said with a stern look: "Of course I am! Now you are mine!"
Jiang Yuanhan's face slowly came closer to Wen Qingzhu's, and when he was biting Wen Qingzhu's face, a hand suddenly stood between them.
In the blink of an eye, a palm fell on Jiang Yuanhan's shoulder, separating the two of them. Wen Qingzhu was pulled back a few steps.
Jiang Yuanhan raised his head angrily, and when he saw clearly the person protecting Wen Qingzhu, the anger in his eyes was burning.
"Fu Lie! How dare you break in!"
Seeing Jiang Yuanhan about to call someone, Fu Lie shot out a stone and stopped Jiang Yuanhan. Then he turned around, holding Wen Qingzhu's face, and asked worriedly: "Didn't I scare you?"
"No." Wen Qingzhu shook his head, looked at Jiang Yuanhan whose eyes changed drastically, and had a guess in his mind.
Fu Lie also looked over and explained: "Wei Lin guessed that I have been secretly following you, so he sent someone to deliver a letter to me and told the emperor's problem."
"What's the problem?" Wen Qingzhu asked.
Looking at Jiang Yuanhan, whose face was full of blue veins, Fu Lie said a term Wen Qingzhu had never heard before: "schizophrenia."
"What's the meaning?"
"It means that the emperor has two different souls, one is the emperor we know, and the other is the cruel and violent emperor!"
Wen Qingzhu was surprised: "Is this what Wei Lin told you?"
Fu Lie looked over and said, "No, Wei Lin learned about it from Pei Yi."
Letting go of Fu Lie's hand, Wen Qingzhu walked up to Jiang Yuanhan and began to examine his body carefully.
She stopped after confirming that there were no signs of poisoning or internal or external injuries.
Wen Qingzhu looked at the undisguised murderous intent in Jiang Yuanhan's eyes, frowned slightly and said, "Are you wondering how we can control you so easily?"
After waiting for a long time, Jiang Yuanhan didn't reply. Wen Qingzhu suddenly patted his head: "I forgot that you can't speak, so let me tell you that Pei Yi went to Yunzhou."
Feeling that it was difficult to communicate in this way, Wen Qingzhu looked at Fu Lie: "Can you let him speak?"
Fu Lie came over and uncovered his dumb hole.
"I will kill you! I will!"
Only then did Wen Qingzhu see Jiang Yuanhan hiding a dagger and arrows in his sleeve under the table. It seemed that he was indeed prepared.
She was speechless and scratched Jiang Yuanhan's head: "It's not that simple to kill us. Can you let Yuanhan talk to me?"
"dream!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuanhan's expression began to change drastically again, and soon returned to the look we are familiar with.
He said in horror: "Sister, leave quickly! He will kill you!"
Tears couldn't help but burst out of his eyes, and his body was still trembling even after being tapped.
Wen Qingzhu touched his face and said softly: "It's okay, I will protect myself and then find a way to cure you."
"He's too scary! You can't cure him! Sister! Leave quickly! I don't want to hurt you!" Jiang Yuanhan urged desperately with tears streaming down his face.
On the same day, Wen Qingzhu and Fu Lie stayed in the palace and summoned all the ministers in the capital.
I don’t want no one to show up.
The people sent out said that the adults were recovering at home and could not come.
Wen Qingzhu and Fu Lie looked at each other and sent people out to investigate.
Soon I received news that the minister was not ill, but missing.
After a moment of silence, Wen Qingzhu asked Xiao Fangzi: "Who is in charge of affairs in the palace now?"
"Master Bai."
"Bai Flute?"
"Yes, do you need to invite Master Bai over?" Xiao Fangzi asked again.
It's very wrong. She kidnapped the minister, but the people she left behind are still there. Wen Qingzhu replied: "No need! Let me ask you again, are Wei Qinglin, Fu Jue and the others there?"
"Miss Wei returned to the Wei family yesterday, Fu Guiren was invited away by Master Fu Yu, and Zhao Meiren was just sent out to recuperate yesterday."
As soon as Xiao Fangzi finished speaking, he saw Wen Qingzhu and Fu Lie staring at him, and immediately explained: "I know it is suspicious to say this, but this is the fact."
"It's okay. You can go down first. The Regent and I will take care of the Emperor." Wen Qingzhu asked Xiao Fangzi to go down, and he and Fu Lie went into the bedroom.
When they arrived at the bed, Jiang Yuanhan was sleeping on the bed, his brows furrowed and his hands tightly grasping the sheets.
Seeing him like this, Wen Qingzhu felt a little confused: "Why did Pei Yi know that Yuan Han had this disease?"
"We need to see Pei Yi." Fu Lie expressed his thoughts.
On the next day, Fu Lie went to court instead of the emperor.
Everyone in the Prime Minister's Pavilion, the six ministers, and the important bachelors of the Hanlin Academy were all absent.
Wen Qingzhu stood behind the curtain and glanced around the hall. None of the more senior ministers were there, and of course Fu Yu was not there either. Only Jin Yuanbao stood alone where Lei Xiao stood before.
He was the first to stand up and ask: "Excuse me, Prince Regent, why did the Emperor not come to court?"
Fu Lie was wearing a purple and gold python robe and a gold crown with a solemn expression. He ignored Jin Yuanbao and chose someone from the Ministry of Rites to come out and question him.
The important ministers are not here, but other ministers are still there.
The most important thing is that they are also the executors of various orders.
Fu Lie asked very carefully. Just now Baiguan's answers were a bit conservative, but then everyone gradually became more relaxed.
This time the court session didn't end until the afternoon.
When Fu Lie came down, Wen Qingzhu accompanied him and walked to Jiang Yuanhan.
"The operation of the capital is basically fine. It's just that it took more than half a year to implement such a new policy, and it was Pei Yi who proposed it."
"These new policies are very good for the people." Fu Lie was now in the court, and when he listened, he admired Pei Yi in his heart.
It seems that there is a reason why the emperor trusts him.
However, Wen Qingzhu did not believe that Pei Yi's purpose was really to govern Qi.
He has been waiting for the opportunity to dig up Princess Qingyun's tomb. There must be some reason.
