Heavenly prison.
Wen Qingzhu stood at the door of the cell, looking at the people inside, sitting cross-legged, closing his eyes and concentrating.
"Come here! Open the door! Let Master Fan out!"
As soon as these words came out, Fan Rong immediately opened his eyes.
The moment he saw Wen Qingzhu, he mocked: "The princess is really good at it!"
Wen Qingzhu felt very upset, but Jiang Yuanhan left suddenly, and now she was the only one in the capital who could calm him down.
So she had to patiently explain: "Whether Master Fan thinks about it or not, the emperor's actions have nothing to do with me."
With the sound of iron chains, the cell door was opened.
Fan Yu quickly ran in and looked at his father up and down.
Seeing that Fan Rong was not injured at all, he felt relieved.
The two of them walked out together, and Fan Yu helped Wen Qingzhu explain: "Dad, as soon as I received the news, I rushed to the palace immediately. The princess didn't know about it, and even scolded the emperor for his nonsense."
Fan Rong snorted coldly and did not answer.
Wen Qingzhu walked to Fan Rong, raised his hand and said, "You are still the Minister of the Ministry of War. No one can deal with you. The capital has to trouble you."
Seeing her unexpectedly upright attitude, Fan Rong followed her out and kept looking at her: "You really have nothing to do with these things?"
"No, of course I got involved in He Zhuo's matter." Wen Qingzhu said it quickly and clearly.
At the door of the Tianlao, Fan Rong stopped and looked at her seriously: "I will believe you this time. Now that the emperor has left rashly, I hope the princess can stabilize the capital and bring the emperor back as soon as possible."
Wen Qingzhu agreed: "Don't worry, Mr. Fan, I know exactly what the situation is now, and I will do it!"
After seeing Fan Rong off, Wen Qingzhu turned around and whispered something to Fu Yu.
Finally ask him: "Can you do it?"
"Don't worry, Princess, I will do my best." Fu Yu agreed.
Back in the palace, Jiang Wuyang was already waiting for her in Qianyuan Palace.
When he saw Ya coming in, he immediately came up to him and asked, "What happened between you and the emperor?"
Wen Qingzhu was silent for a moment, and then told him what happened last night.
Jiang Wuyang received too much information at once and was unable to react.
When Wen Qingzhu went to the study and was rummaging around for something, he made a lot of noise.
Only then did she realize what she was doing, and she quickly stepped forward and asked, "Why is this happening? Fu Lie can't even suppress the Huns!"
Wen Qingzhu finally rummaged through a pile of folding papers and found the folding piece sent by Kang Cheng.
After flipping through it quickly, her heart sank.
There seems to be some deviation in the development of Cannes. Reading between the lines of Ninh Binh, it seems that the problem is still serious.
Wen Qingzhu put down the book and looked at Jiang Wuyang: "Princess Princess, there is something I need to trouble you about."
"Say." Jiang Wuyang calmed down and understood what the situation was.
Wen Qingzhu looked outside intently: "If there is turmoil or chaos in Kangcheng, you immediately send a message to Chi Yu and lead the army to suppress it!"
"Is it so serious?" Jiang Wuyang panicked.
Wen Qingzhu didn't explain too much, just said: "Go and discuss with the old man and Mr. Liang. They have been in the Ministry of Industry for a long time and will understand the problem I mentioned."
As soon as Jiang Wuyang left, Wen Qingzhu became exhausted.
Why is Yuanhan so anxious to deal with so many people and why he has to go to Kangcheng himself
You can obviously send someone there
Is it just because you want to leave
No, Wen Qingzhu carefully recalled Jiang Yuanhan's series of methods.
Starting from directly giving He Zhui the maximum power, then taking back control of the Hanlin Academy, and then symbolically imprisoning Fan Rong, and finally leaving with Wei Lin.
etc!
Wen Qingzhu narrowed his eyes: "Wei Lin is always here!"
Bai Di hurried in from outside the door, saluted quickly and reported: "Princess, it has been found out that Master Wei Lin has been following the emperor last night. After the princess left the yard where Zhao Meiren was, Master Wei Lin seemed to say to the emperor What happened? Faceless Lord tried to stop him during this period, but in the end he didn’t stop him. Later, they went to see Zhao Meiren and didn’t leave until almost dawn, and Zhao Meiren also left during this period.”
"It turned out to be Wei Lin!" Wen Qingzhu clenched his fists and kept thinking in his heart, what on earth did Wei Lin say to Yuan Han
Will he make such a decision
There was a lot of turmoil in the capital that day. Just after noon, Pei Yu asked for a meeting in person.
Wen Qingzhu took a deep breath, and as expected, what was supposed to come came.
She told Lu Tao: "Change my clothes! Let's go back to Xuanzheng Hall."
Half an hour later, Wen Qingzhu, dressed in a majestic princess dress, appeared at the door of Xuanzheng Hall.
She came in through the front door. Pei Yu and others inside the room turned their heads when they heard the sound.
Lu Tao and Xi'er stood beside her, one on the left and one on the right, and followed her in.
Wen Qingzhu walked directly to the place where she usually sat in court.
This time, the curtain was not drawn.
She was sitting high up alone, looking down at them and saying, "Why did Prime Minister Pei go out early?"
"Princess asked knowingly." Pei Yu looked at her intently, feeling a little undecided.
Then he turned his head and looked at Lei Xiao beside him: "Master Lei, come into the palace together, don't you want to ask the emperor why he left the capital?"
Lei Xiao knew more than Pei Yu. He also received some news from the emperor about what happened last night.
So he raised his hand and said to Wen Qingzhu: "As a minister, I naturally obey the emperor's orders."
Hearing what he said, Pei Yu sneered in his heart.
Sure enough, Lei Xiao got some news, but he rushed over at this time, probably because he didn't know enough.
The situation is complicated now. Pei Yu suffered a loss at the hands of Wen Qingzhu before, so he will not be tough this time.
Instead, he chose a tactful way and asked in a roundabout way: "The emperor's departure from Beijing is unknown to the outside world for the time being, but he can't hide it for long. What will the princess plan to do then? Things in Cannes have been going on forever. We are proceeding according to the princess' wishes, and something must have happened there now. Why didn't the princess go and let the emperor go instead?"
Wen Qingzhu's eyebrows arched: "Is Prime Minister Pei questioning the emperor?"
"Don't dare!" Pei Yu lowered his head and raised his hands in time, but then raised his eyes and looked into her eyes and said, "I am questioning the princess. After all, the emperor has only listened to your words before."
"So what!" Wen Qingzhu didn't care at all and said in a threatening tone, "Prime Minister Pei should stay at home and think about his mistakes these days, just wait for the emperor to come back."
Pei Yu didn't expect that Wen Qingzhu didn't bother to explain to him. He thought of several subordinates who were beheaded by the emperor, and his tone became colder: "If the arrogant Qi founding country was not extremely vicious, even the emperor would never be able to behead Hanlin bachelors! This time the emperor directly If you take action, I'm afraid it will break the hearts of many scholars, right?"
"Oh?" Wen Qingzhu became serious, "Is Prime Minister Pei planning to incite scholars and students to resist the imperial power?"
Pei Yu smiled nonchalantly: "Princess can't slander people out of thin air."
Wen Qingzhu didn't reply, just looked at him coldly.
Now that Pei Yu has said this, he must have this intention in mind.
While doing this, Lei Xiao stood up and said: "Xiang Pei, the emperor has his own deep meaning in this matter. He also hopes that Prime Minister Pei will put the overall situation first and just stay at home. Otherwise, once the emperor gets angry, he will attack Xiang Pei directly. , the charges are still easy to find.”
"Lei Xiao!" The danger of Chi Guoguo made Pei Yu feel the crisis again.
At this time, Lei Xiao still believed in Wen Qingzhu!
Has he been squeezed out
Looking at Lei Xiao and Wen Qingzhu, they both looked at him quietly, their meanings self-evident.
After careful consideration, Pei Yu still chose to retreat.
Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne and many of his party members have been cut off, now is not a good time to take action.
But there are some things that he doesn't need to incite.
Two Hanlin bachelors died for nothing, there will definitely be some stunned people who will be unhappy!
"Since the emperor has made a decision, I will just wait. I also hope that the princess will not care about me leaving home without authorization."
Pei Yu bowed and admitted his mistake with an excellent attitude.
Wen Qingzhu had no thoughts on him now, and only warned: "I hope Prime Minister Pei will do what he says. Civil servants are the foundation of Da Qi, but so are military generals."
"I understand." Pei Yu raised his head and met Wen Qingzhu's gaze. Their eyes had already met several times.
After Pei Yu left, Wen Qingzhu took Lei Xiao to the study at the back alone.
After the palace attendants left, she got straight to the point: "What message did the emperor leave for you?"
"Princess doesn't know?!" Lei Xiao was shocked.
Wen Qingzhu skipped last night's quarrel and told him everything else.
Lei Xiao couldn't stop walking back and forth: "Why does the matter in Kangcheng require the emperor to go there in person? The capital has not stabilized yet!"
"It's Wei Lin." Wen Qingzhu reminded him.
Lei Xiao stopped suddenly and looked at her quietly: "Wei Lin? What did he say to the emperor?"
Wen Qingzhu closed his eyes: "If I had known, I wouldn't be so at a loss now. The news I have received so far is that Wei Lin must have said something to the emperor, and later learned something from Zhao'er. Now Zhao'er He has been sent out of the palace, he must have done this to prevent me from knowing."
"Wei Lin and Zhao'er?" Lei Xiao fell into deep thought.
Especially Zhao'er. He had heard from Jiang Yuanhan that this girl wanted to have extraordinary abilities.
Wen Qingzhu thought of Master Ye and looked at Lei Xiao again.
He had no problem with his loyalty to the emperor, but Wen Qingzhu could feel that Lei Xiao was on guard against her.
To be more precise, beware of Fu Lie.
Wen Qingzhu spoke again: "I wanted to leave the palace last night and set out for the northwest, but I met Mr. Ye from Si Tiantai. He seemed to have observed an amazing star phenomenon and ran over in person. It's a pity that his words have not yet been heard. It is said that because he was too old, he suddenly suffered a cerebral infarction and is still in the hospital, unconscious."
"Master Ye!" Lei Xiao turned around and left.
But as soon as he turned around, he felt Wen Qingzhu's burning gaze.
He stopped immediately, turned around, and told Wen Qing the identity of Lord Zhuye: "Master Ye is a member of the Deng family whom Mr. Cui saved. He is older than Deng Yezhou, but his reputation is not as great as that of Deng Yezhou."
"Is he also a member of the Deng family?" Wen Qingzhu thought carefully, pointed outside and said, "We have to go see him again!"
Lei Xiao watched her passing in front of him, thinking in his heart, did Mr. Ye really have no time to say anything last night
The two rushed to Tai Hospital and found that Mr. Ye couldn't breathe for a while.
Dr. Gan is administering acupuncture.
After hearing this, Wen Qingzhu hurried over without hesitation.
He took the silver needle from Dr. Gan's hand and began to acupuncture Mr. Ye.
He is so old and has seen such a horoscope, he must be more powerful than half of the people in Si Tiantai!
Now that Zhao'er is gone, if Lord Ye can wake up, there might be another chance!
After an hour of treatment, Mr. Ye still barely managed to save his life.
"Princess." Lu Tao came over and helped Wen Qingzhu up.
For convenience, she knelt in front of the bed.
Because I had been kneeling for too long, my legs were a little numb.
Wen Qingzhu looked at Mr. Ye unwillingly. No one could point the way now.
What did Zhaoer say to Yuanhan
The person who worries him the most is Wei Lin. Although he is from the Wei family, he is a very thoughtful person.
