A few days later, Xi'er came back and her face didn't look good.
Seeing Wen Qingzhu's belly, she first congratulated him, and finally hesitantly said her question: "Princess, Yuan Bao left the capital some time ago."
"Leaving the capital? Where did you go?" Wen Qingzhu received no news at all.
Xi'er shook his head: "I sent him to Xiangzhou and came back."
Wen Qingzhu asked thoughtfully: "Has anything strange happened in the capital recently?"
"No, especially during the time when the emperor left." Xi'er emphasized.
After a while, Lu Tao came in and saw that Xi'er was also there, and quickly asked about her and Jin Yuanbao.
Xi'er shook her head gloomily: "I don't have high hopes, just let nature take its course."
Her reaction made Wen Qingzhu and Lu Tao look at each other.
Something is wrong.
At night, Lu Tao came back and brought news about Jin Yuanbao.
After Wen Qingzhu heard this, he almost dropped the book in his hand: "Say it again!"
Lu Tao didn't believe it at first, always feeling that the investigators must have made a mistake.
She repeated: "Princess, you heard me right. The granddaughter of Jin Yuanbao's teacher is pregnant. The child is Jin Yuanbao's, and Jin Yuanbao plans to get married when he comes back this time."
"Isn't Jin Yuanbao that kind of person?" Wen Qingzhu still didn't believe it.
Lu Tao also felt strange: "This news is kept secret at the moment. I had someone disguised and get close to the girl, and I only believed it after confirming that she was pregnant."
"It's wrong, it's still wrong." Wen Qingzhu knew very well what kind of person Jin Yuanbao was. He was a man who abided by ethics and would never let his wife get pregnant before marriage.
Most importantly, if such a thing was really discovered, why didn't Jin Yuanbao get married immediately
Are you afraid of her as the regent princess
It's a pity that Jin Yuanbao is a person who is not even afraid of death.
After thinking for a long time, Wen Qingzhu continued to order: "Check again! There must be a problem! Send someone to Xiangzhou to see what is going on over there with Jin Yuanbao?"
Early the next morning, before the matter between Jin Yuanbao and Xi'er was resolved, a letter came from Yaoshen Valley.
After reading it, Wen Qingzhu became excited and felt a little pain in his stomach.
Lu Tao quickly supported her: "Princess, be careful! What happened over there in the Medicine God Valley?"
Taking a deep breath, Wen Qingzhu calmed down his inner excitement and turned to look at Lu Tao: "Isn't Pei Yi in the capital?"
"I haven't heard of this." Lu Tao shook his head.
After careful consideration, Wen Qingzhu went out to find Fu Yu. Unexpectedly, he met Wan Hongyu first.
Wen Qingzhu looked at him and asked, "Master Wan, why are you outside the palace?"
Wan Hongyu said very calmly: "Do something for the emperor."
Glancing at the cars behind him, Wen Qingzhu asked with a smile: "Then what is in these cars? Does the emperor want it?"
"Yes, they are all books." Wan Hongyu was neither humble nor overbearing.
But Wen Qingzhu walked over and asked Lu Tao to look up.
After the inspection, Wen Qingzhu looked at Wan Hongyu with deep meaning: "I hope Master Wan will not do anything wrong. I hope these books are okay."
Wan Hongyu responded yes, and Wen Qingzhu let him leave.
After pondering for a long time, she decided to visit the palace first.
Thinking of books and the book about blood transfusion devices written by Jiang Yuanhan, Wen Qingzhu decided to go to Zaocu Palace to have a look.
To Wen Qingzhu's surprise, she met Wan Hongyu again.
Seeing the visitor, Wan Hongyu saluted and said hello again.
Wen Qingzhu nodded and saw that the door of Zaocu Hall was heavily guarded.
She couldn't help but ask: "Didn't people be allowed to enter the Zuocu Palace at any time in the past? Why are the imperial guards allowed to guard here?"
Wan Hongyu replied: "Now the emperor has collected a lot of books, including many banned books. To avoid accidents, he sent heavy troops to guard them."
Obviously, he wasn't telling the truth.
Wen Qingzhu also pressed the question, but smiled and asked: "Forbidden books, can I go in and take a look?"
Wan Hongyu hesitated for a moment, but quickly stepped aside: "Of course the princess can go in."
"No need, I just saw your book today and suddenly wanted to come over and take a look." After Wen Qingzhu finished speaking, he turned around and left, the smile on his face disappearing instantly.
It seems that their emperor is still in contact with Jiang Yuancheng
But what do these books that are being shipped in mean
Not finding Fu Yu, Wen Qingzhu went to Ji's house.
When the head of the Ji family greeted him, Wen Qingzhu didn't waste any time and directly told Lu Tao the titles of the two books he saw.
"Does the head of the family know these two books?" Wen Qingzhu asked humbly.
She has indeed never read these two books, and the content seems to be fine.
Unexpectedly, the head of the Ji family showed a serious expression: "How does the princess know these two books?"
"Is there any problem with these two books?" Wen Qingzhu followed seriously.
After thinking for a moment, the head of the Ji family took her to the backyard. After walking for half an hour, they came to a library.
The head of the Ji family pointed to the plaque of the library inside and said, "The books in this are rarely read by people in our Ji family."
This made Wen Qingzhu curious: "You won't let the Ji family read banned books?"
"Forbidden books?" The head of the Ji family sneered, turned to look at the library, and stood with his hands behind his hands, "These books are not good books."
Wen Qingzhu followed his line of sight and discovered that there were three big, wrong characters written on the plaque of the library.
"Why is it wrong?" she couldn't help asking.
The head of the Ji family explained: "Because many of the contents recorded in the books here are wrong and completely inconsistent with common sense and human ethics."
Wen Qingzhu frowned and wanted to suggest that he go in and take a look, but the head of the Ji family said directly: "Princess, there is no need to be curious. A small part of the books inside are evil books, and most of them are about strange powers and chaos. Those two books you mentioned , the harm is not great.”
"But I took a quick look, and there was nothing wrong with it." Wen Qingzhu also remembered that what was recorded in the book was just some stories.
The head of the Ji family turned around and stared at her: "It seems that the princess just browsed it casually. If you look carefully, you will know that there are wrong common sense hidden in these books. For example, everyone is born with sin."
"What's the point of this?" Wen Qingzhu frowned.
The head of the Ji family stepped forward and led Wen Qingzhu in.
Taking out the key and opening the door, Wen Qingzhu realized that it was very empty inside, with bookshelves scattered around.
In front of them there was a small table with a book on it.
Following the head of the Ji family, Wen Qingzhu saw the words "Revelation" written on the cover of the book.
This inexplicably reminded her of the revelations from the Medicine God Valley.
The head of the Ji family handed the book to her: "Princess, read this first, and then read the others later."
The book in his hand was very thin, and it only took Wen Qingzhu half an hour to read it.
When it was over, the head of the Ji family found the two books she mentioned earlier.
She frowned and couldn't help but want to curse, but with humility, she naturally tried her best to hold it back.
When it was over, she put down her hand and thought of Yao Shen Valley's hypnosis.
Rather than that kind of hypnosis, some of the words hidden in these books look more like suggestions.
Anyone who is weak-willed and frustrated may easily fall into misunderstandings.
"Can the princess understand now?" the head of the Ji family asked her.
Wen Qingzhu nodded and put down his hand, his mood still calming down: "I understand, it seems that books can also kill people."
The head of the Ji family then took her out, and at the same time he expressed faint appreciation: "The princess is indeed different from ordinary people, but there are very few literate people in our Qi country. Those who have access to these books are already adults with certain knowledge."
Wen Qingzhu nodded repeatedly and followed him out of the library and back to the living room in front.
The head of the Ji family suddenly asked: "Where did the princess see these books?"
"Building the Hall of Records."
"How is that possible!" the head of the Ji family blurted out.
Seeing Wen Qingzhu's scrutinizing eyes, he regained his composure and said calmly: "These books are forbidden books set by Taizu. Those who build the book palace will never make mistakes."
"But what if the Zuocei Palace is replaced by the Imperial Guard?" Wen Qingzhu asked again.
The head of the Ji family's face darkened: "What is your Majesty going to do?"
Wen Qingzhu shook his head: "I don't know either, but there is obviously a problem on the Emperor's side, so I came here and wanted to ask the Ji family to send someone to help clean up the Hall of Records."
This request is a bit difficult for the Ji family.
After all, they don't interfere in the affairs of the palace and court. Once they do, it means a lot.
Wen Qingzhu said this, but it was just a casual mention.
After waiting for a moment, she stood up and said, "If it's difficult, forget it."
Unexpectedly, the head of the Ji family stood up and said, "Then I will send ten people to help the princess."
At the entrance of Zaocu Hall, the imperial army stopped Wen Qingzhu and the others.
"Now you can't just enter the Zuocu Hall?" Lu Tao asked angrily.
The captain of the Forbidden Army was very embarrassed: "Master Ye, you are embarrassing your subordinates. This is the emperor's order. The princess can go in, and you can go in, but outsiders are absolutely not allowed."
Lu Tao wanted to question, but Wen Qingzhu stretched out his hand to stop him, then pointed at the ten people behind him and said: "They are all from the Ji family. Their talents and knowledge are beyond the comparison of ordinary people. They are here just to help me."
"Princess, please don't embarrass your subordinates." The captain of the Forbidden Army looked troubled.
Wen Qingzhu sighed, turned to Lu Tao and said, "Then go and invite the emperor to come over, and also invite some of the bachelors from Han Lingyuan to come over."
The captain of the Forbidden Army rushed down and stopped Lu Tao: "Master Ye! This!"
Wen Qingzhu asked with a smile: "If we don't break in forcefully, why don't we find someone?"
It wasn't until Wei Yu heard the news that he came over and asked the commander of the Forbidden Army to let Lu Tao go to find the emperor, but he still said one more thing: "The adults of the Hanlin Academy are not needed."
Lu Tao glanced at Wen Qingzhu, got a look of approval, and then left quickly.
Wen Qingzhu looked at Wei Yu and asked him, "Have you resumed your original position?"
Wei Yu handed over his hand: "Thanks to the emperor's attention, I have been restored to my original position."
Wen Qingzhu turned around, looked at the book-making hall in front of him and said, "You may not understand, but the meaning of books to people is actually very different. Often it is you who don't care, but you don't know that there is a murderous intention hidden inside."
Everyone in the Ji family originally didn't care about what happened outside, but when they heard this sentence, they all looked up and looked at Wen Qingzhu's back.
Is this the extraordinary person the head of the family calls him
The Ji family has never had much contact with outsiders. The Wei family was once an aristocratic family and had high praise for the Ji family.
Especially when the old man was still here, he never forgot about the Ji family.
It's a pity that the Ji family completely ignores outsiders.
Wei Yu looked at the changes in the expressions of everyone in the Ji family and raised his head with a strange feeling in his heart: What's wrong with the Zhuoshu Hall in front of him
Not long after, Lu Tao came back, along with Linlang.
She said directly to Wei Yu: "The emperor said that everything is subject to the princess's arrangements. If anything happens in the future, the princess's words will be equal to the emperor's words."
Everyone knew that the emperor listened to the regent's words before, but this was the first time they heard the emperor's close ministers admit it.
The Ji family entered smoothly and couldn't help but look at Wen Qingzhu twice.
It was actually much better than the others. Wei Yu shouldn't have asked more questions, but he still said: "Princess, how is the emperor?"
"Isn't the emperor doing well in court recently? The situation is much better than before." Wen Qingzhu replied to him.
Wei Yu frowned and asked, "The princess knows that I am not asking this. The emperor is the emperor, and you are the regent."
Wen Qingzhu turned around and did not answer his words. Instead, he ordered Wei Yu: "Call back all the people who built the palace in the past. Do what you need to do."
"Yes." Wei Yu retreated with concern.
In the afternoon, Wan Hongyu came behind her.
