This time, Wei Ziying took the lead and reported the recent events in the capital and various places.
Compared with the excitement when Fu Lie went to court, everyone was much more restrained and reserved when Wen Qingzhu went to court.
What should be said should be said as tactfully as possible, and what should not be said should never be mentioned at all.
Wen Qingzhu also saw that everyone was restraining. She didn't really want to deal with anything, but there was one thing that she had to ask.
His eyes fell on Fan Rong and did not move for a long time. Wen Qingzhu did not speak, but looked at him quietly.
Except for special talents like Jin Yuanbao, whoever can approach the Jinluan Hall and go to court is not a human being. He only needs to raise his eyes a little to know that something is wrong with Fan Rongtan.
As the Minister of War, Fan Rong is in the front position and is basically under direct pressure.
Wei Ziying was not showing favoritism to anyone, but asked as usual: "Is there anything else that the princess can do?"
Wen Qingzhu looked away and did not say directly: "Last night, Lu Tao was investigating something and encountered a group of assassins. Later, it was discovered that among this group of assassins, there seemed to be family members of a certain minister in the capital."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Does this mean Fan Rong assassinated Lu Tao
Everyone suddenly had their own thoughts, but Wei Ziying had a different opinion: "Is the princess sure? You can't say this nonsense."
Wen Qingzhu understood what Wei Ziying meant. Fan Rong was not an ordinary official and could not be touched easily.
She just allowed others to bully her, not to mention that she clearly remembered what Fan Ling did when she left the capital.
"Prime Minister Wei is right, but the country has national laws and families have family rules. Anyone who knowingly commits a crime will be punished with an extra level of crime! Even if he is a minister of the court, I will not give him easy mercy! I hope some people will take care of themselves."
After Wen Qingzhu finished speaking in a cold tone, he stood up abruptly, glanced at everyone, and finally his eyes rested on Fan Rong for a moment before he rolled up his sleeves and left.
"Farewell, Princess!" All the officials saluted.
When Wen Qingzhu's figure disappeared, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
This regent princess is indeed more terrifying than the emperor and regent.
Wei Ziying turned around and looked at Fan Rong, and said pointedly: "I heard that the eldest son of your Fan family has not been in the capital recently. I hope that Mr. Fan will not make any mistakes. If the princess wants to really deal with someone, it is me. She can do it too, let alone a mere young general."
Fan Rong nodded and thanked: "What Prime Minister Wei reminds me is that I understand."
"I hope you really understand." Wei Ziying wanted to talk about Fan Yu, but he thought that it was a family matter of the Fan family and he couldn't interfere, so he said no more.
After returning home from the next morning, Fan Rong went straight to the study and ordered the housekeeper: "Get Fan Ling back to me immediately! If he doesn't come back! Never come back from now on!"
The housekeeper was ordered to leave, but Fan Rong suddenly stopped: "Wait! See if Xiaoyu is busy. If not, ask him to come back too!"
The entrance to Qianyuan Palace was heavily guarded by the Forbidden Army.
On the opposite side were Fu Lie's soldiers, who were confronting the Forbidden Army.
Wen Qingzhu's expression changed. Was Jiang Yuanhan already moving so fast
After taking a few steps forward, the Fu family soldiers stepped out of the way to let her pass.
Looking at the leading deputy commander of the Forbidden Army, Wen Qingzhu felt extremely strange.
It was Lu Tao who reminded him: "This is a grandnephew of General Ruan."
"It turns out that this is Commander Xiao Ruan. I have to go see the Emperor. Can you please give in?" Wen Qingzhu smiled, but his expression was extremely cold.
Commander Xiao Ruan raised his hand and seemed not to take her seriously: "Princess, the emperor and the regent have important matters to discuss. Princess, please come back."
"Now that I'm here, I have no reason to go back if I don't see anyone! Will you let me?" Wen Qingzhu asked him again, the smile on his face disappeared.
Commander Xiao Ruan didn't give her face, and still insisted on not letting her pass: "Is the princess threatening the subordinate?"
Before he finished speaking, a figure flashed in front of him. The next second, Commander Xiao Ruan felt his neck being pinched, and all the subordinates around him immediately drew their swords.
"Stop!" A sharp shout came from the distance. Wen Qingzhu turned around and found that Mrs. Lei San was coming.
She was dressed in plain clothes, without any makeup, and only wore a white jade hairpin on her head. She walked quickly with the support of the maid.
When she couldn't get close, Wen Qingzhu ordered Beidou to let Xiao Ruan go.
After being freed, Xiao Ruan immediately held his neck and backed away, staring at Wen Qingzhu with hateful and angry eyes.
As soon as Mrs. Lei San came forward, she did not speak directly to Wen Qingzhu, but walked up to Xiao Ruan, raised her hand and slapped him.
"Aunt! You hit me!?" Xiao Ruan raised his hands to cover his face, unable to believe that his aunt was actually on Wen Qingzhu's side!
Mrs. Lei San looked at him coldly: "If it weren't for the emperor's sake, I wouldn't just slap you, I would have your uncle use family methods to break your legs!"
Xiao Ruan didn't understand at all, and the anger in his heart became more and more intense: "Auntie! I came here to protect the Emperor on the Emperor's orders!"
With a snap, another slap fell.
Mrs. Lei San's voice became colder and colder: "Have you forgotten what your uncle told you before he left?"
Xiao Ruan seemed to have thought of something, and his lips turned pale, but he still said stubbornly: "But, but the emperor asked me to come this time! Who dares to disobey the emperor's orders! How dare you, aunt!"
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Mrs. Lei San said "ok" three times in a row, which made Xiao Ruan feel very uneasy.
Her eyes were filled with disappointment. She didn't care about talking nonsense with him. Instead, she turned around and walked up to Wen Qingzhu, bowed and apologized: "Princess! It's my wife who is guilty of failing to discipline her nephew."
Wen Qingzhu hurriedly stepped forward to support her, shook his head and said: "Auntie has done a good job, leave the affairs in the palace to me. Auntie should take care of her body. My uncle is not here, and Brother Yan is not here either. The Lei family's affairs I really need you to take care of it. Auntie, it’s better not to worry about things outside of the Lei family.”
"I know I shouldn't interfere, but this child has a simple temper and can be easily instigated by others. My uncle also asked me to keep an eye on him before he left. Now that he has come to cause trouble for the princess, it is my fault. Today I will take him away." Mrs. Lei San said with a guilty look on her face.
At this point, Wen Qingzhu could only nod.
Seeing that she agreed, Mrs. Lei San felt relieved and turned around to take out the Ruan family's family order.
Ruan Quanxue was forced to kneel down helplessly, with a look of reluctance on his face.
"As the head of the Ruan family, I order you to resign from your position immediately and go back to your hometown! Otherwise, you will no longer be a member of the Ruan family from now on!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ruan Quanxue became even more unconvinced. He raised his head and looked at her: "I'm not convinced! You are no longer our Ruan family, and you are not qualified to make this decision!"
Mrs. Lei San laughed and looked at the children of the Ruan family around Ruan Quanxue: "You have all heard that it was Ruan Quanxue who took the initiative to leave the Ruan family!"
"Understood!" The people standing next to Ruan Quanxue nodded, then walked out, took off their helmets, handed over their weapons, and chose to leave with Mrs. Lei San.
Ruan Quanxue looked at them in disbelief: "You, you actually, dare to disobey the emperor's order!"
Standing next to Mrs. Lei San, the eldest boy explained: "Xuanxue, we all know the rules of the Ruan family. There are some things that cannot be said here, so I won't say them, but I know that you are such a smart person. A person who is highly valued by the head of the family must understand it!"
"Am I highly regarded by the head of the family?" Ruan Quanxue seemed to have heard some joke and couldn't help laughing.
After he finished laughing, he looked at Mrs. Lei San with an ugly face, his eyes full of complaints: "If Grandpa really valued me, he should have taken me to the battlefield instead of staying in the capital doing nothing!"
"Shut up!" Mrs. Lei San was completely angry. Ruan Mi's whereabouts were a confidential matter, yet Ruan Quanxue said it so casually.
Ruan Quanxue had already broken the rules and no longer cared about the Ruan family's rules. Just when he was about to talk loudly, he felt a sudden pain in his back and neck, and his vision went dark and he fainted.
Wen Qingzhu raised his eyes and saw Fu Lie firmly catching Ruan Guanxue, looking at the children of the Ruan family next to Mrs. Lei San and saying, "Come and take this child back. He is still young and has just been used and deceived."
He looked at Madam Lei San again: "Please Madam, please don't punish him. This child actually knows everything in his heart. He is just young and energetic and wants to prove his worth urgently. If Lord Lei is free, don't let this child follow Lei." Sir, please give me some time."
"Thank you, Prince Regent! I can't thank you enough!" Mrs. Lei San was filled with gratitude, saluted and thanked her, and then ordered people to take Ruan Quanxue and evacuate quickly.
As soon as the regent appeared, the imperial troops were leaderless and naturally retreated quickly.
Wen Qingzhu walked forward, glanced at Qianyuan Gongwan behind him and asked, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, but you should go and see the emperor. His mood is not stable." Fu Lie glanced at the restless Imperial Guards on the left and right, and sighed, "I will handle the outside matters, you go in first."
"Yes." Wen Qingzhu nodded.
As she walked into the palace, the imperial guards gave way one after another, not daring to stop her at all.
When he arrived at the door of the dormitory, Wen Qingzhu saw the blood stains on the steps. Judging from the dark red color and the crack marks, he must have left them last night.
After entering, Xiao Fangzi saw her at a glance and shouted quickly: "Princess, come quickly! The emperor's situation is very bad!"
Wen Qingzhu walked over quickly and saw that Jiang Yuanhan was tied tightly on the bed and his mouth was gagged, unable to move at all.
"Your Majesty, what is this?" Wen Qingzhu turned to look at Xiao Fangzi.
He looked at the emperor with some worry and saw that the emperor was staring at him coldly, a little afraid to say anything.
When Wen Qingzhu saw this, he ordered: "You go to the imperial kitchen to get the soothing soup, and I will talk to the emperor."
Xiao Fangzi then retreated, and Lu Tao and Beidou also retreated to the outside.
There were no outsiders, so Wen Qingzhu sat casually beside the bed, squinted at him and said, "You are so impatient. Even if Jin Yuanbao is on your side unconditionally, you don't want to think about Fu Lie's background.
He lives in the palace now. How could Fu Lie not know about the movement of the Imperial Army? After struggling all night, it turned out to be in vain. "
After straightening her skirt, Wen Qingzhu didn't like this kind of spacious and luxurious dress very much, but he had to admit that wearing this kind of dress really made him more imposing.
After resting for a while, Xiao Fangzi brought a soothing soup and asked hesitantly: "The emperor is a little excited. If the dragon body is injured again, I'm afraid..."
He didn't finish the rest of the words, but Wen Qingzhu also understood why Jiang Yuanhan was tied up like a rice dumpling.
After thinking for a long time, Wen Qingzhu turned to him and said, "I'll give you a chance to kill me. How about you don't hurt Yuan Han's body?"
Jiang Yuanhan's eyes froze for a moment, as if he was considering the truth or falsehood of her words.
Seeing that he had an idea, Wen Qingzhu struck while the iron was hot: "Don't worry, I do what I say. Before Yuan Han came to the throne, there were countless people who wanted to kill me, but I still survived."
Thinking of those past events, Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but chuckle: "I don't have any other abilities, I just have a tough life."
After chatting, Wen Qingzhu said seriously: "If you agree, blink once. If you don't agree, blink twice."
Jiang Yuanhan's eyes were more complicated, and there was a hint of jealousy hidden deep in his eyes that he couldn't even detect.
Wen Qingzhu was very patient and stared at him intently.
Until his eyes blinked, Wen Qingzhu raised his eyebrows: "Does this mean you agree?"
