I am the censor, at the beginning I denounced the empress

Chapter 117 A Burnt Edict
Ganlu Temple.

Although come often.

But today, when Tang Can walked outside the Ganlu Hall, he stopped involuntarily.

He stood in a daze for a while, until the female officer urged him again, and then walked into the Ganlu hall.

After Tang Can entered, the female officer naturally withdrew and closed the palace door, leaving only Tang Can and Shangguan Wan'er.

A veil separates the two.

but.

Shangguan Wan'er stepped out of the gauze curtain and stood in front of Tang Can, two steps away.

"I found the Holy Majesty's will." Shangguan Wan'er's voice trembled.

Tang Can's pupils shrank slightly, and his heart accelerated unsatisfactorily.

He took a deep breath and managed to calm down: "Where is it."

Shangguan Wan'er's sleeves flicked slightly, and there was already an envelope in her hand.

Tang Can reached out to take it.

The wax has not been touched.

Obviously, Shangguan Wan'er had not taken it apart and looked at it.

Tang Can closed his eyes and hesitated for a moment.

Opening his eyes again, his eyes became firm.

Walking behind Shangguan Wan'er in two steps, she threw the unread letter in her hand into the incense burner.

Shangguan Wan'er didn't look back, but stood there in a daze with some sadness.

She and the empress have been in love for so many years...

I didn't expect that it would turn out like this.

For a while, I can't help but feel a little lost...

If she could choose, she would definitely choose to die by herself without any hesitation, in exchange for being the Empress...

The more she thought about it, the sadder Shangguan Wan'er became.

The corners of his eyes were moist, his nose was sour, and he couldn't help sniffling.

It just twitched, and suddenly smelled a strange smell.

Shangguan Wan'er was taken aback, and turned her head abruptly.

At a glance, you can see the burning letter in the censer.

Shangguan Wan'er's eyes widened, and her figure flickered, she stood beside the incense burner!
With one palm, the incense burner went out instantly!

But... it's too late.

In the furnace, apart from the incense ashes, it was the secret letter that had been burned to ashes...

"Why!" Shangguan Wan'er looked at Tang Can in disbelief: "Tang Can, what are you going to do!"

"Are you crazy!"

"What are you going to do!"

"I'm not the sage! The sage is dead! Why did you let me... woo woo woo..."

Shangguan Wan'er's nerves finally collapsed!

Uncontrollable crying!
Looking at her, Tang Can couldn't help shaking his head slightly, and sighed: "There is no other choice."

After a while, Shangguan Wan'er's crying subsided, she raised her head numbly, stared at Tang Can, and murmured, "I'm not her...I'm not her...she's dead...she's dead!"

"Shangguan Wan'er is dead, and the empress is still alive." Tang Can spoke softly, helped Shangguan Wan'er up from the ground, and said softly, "You are the empress, remembering this is enough."

Shangguan Wan'er stared blankly at Tang Can.

Even though Tang Can had turned around and left, she still didn't change, she just stared blankly at the place where Tang Can was standing before.

……

After leaving Ganlu Hall, Tang Can returned to the Metropolitan Procuratorate all the way to continue his work.

During this period, several new censors came to his side from time to time to ask about the case.

When it was getting late, the censors left one after another.

However, the Metropolitan Procuratorate welcomed another guest.

The little book bag looked at Tang Can, smiled wryly and shook his head: "Sister Shangguan, you are going to drive me crazy."

"Do you blame me?"

"Blame me." The little book bag had a bitter face, and blamed himself: "After all, it's me..."

Before he could finish speaking, Tang Can waved his hand: "Tell me, what is the matter that you came to find me."

The more contact with the small book bag, the more Tang Can knows his temperament.

If it wasn't for something important, he would never come.

"The matter in the northwest is settled. King Gaochang is dead, and the new king is enthroned."

"and also?"

"Xia Xia...is dead..."

"died?"

Tang Can was startled, and thought of it instantly.The mission was completed before, probably because someone Xia died.

Without waiting for Tang Can to ask, the little book bag had a bitter face, and then explained: "His remnant soul, he ran to the north before, and the new emperor of Gaochang ascended the throne, showing his feet, and I discovered it."

Tang Can really didn't want to get involved in this kind of nagging matter.

but……

Involuntarily.

After pondering for a moment, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "It's not possible, Gao Changguo is also planning to come to grab a national fortune."

"In that case, it's better to just give it to him."

"No." Xiao Shubao shook his head: "When King Gaochang died and the new emperor ascended the throne, the fate of the country changed. The residual soul of someone Xia wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to become a ghost..."

Tang Can was speechless.

After a long moment, he sighed and waved his hand, indicating that the book bag could go.

"Everything is impermanent."

Standing by the window of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Tang Can walked out of the Metropolitan Procuratorate after looking at the scenery of the imperial city.

For the first time in many days, he walked out of the imperial city and returned to Chengfufang all the way.

There is no such foreign enemy as Xia.

He can finally walk out of the imperial city at will without worrying about problems with the stupid Di Jiang.

……

The next day.

Imperial City.

Before the court meeting, Gao Yuanyi was startled when he saw Tang Can among the officials waiting to go to court, and then nodded with a smile.

"Tang Yushi."

Fang Xiaoru saw Tang Can, walked up to him, said hello, and then said, "It's rare to see you here."

Tang Can smiled: "I will see it often in the future."

Fang Xiaoru wanted to say something more when the bell rang and the gate of the palace opened wide.

Everyone filed in to attend the court meeting.

The beginning of the morning meeting.

Without waiting for the officials to report, Shangguan Wan'er was the first to speak: "Where is the household department?"

"The minister is here." The Minister of the Household Department rushed out and agreed in a deep voice.

Shangguan Wan'er looked at it and asked, "How much money is left in the treasury?"

"I report to Your Majesty that the national treasury currently has more than 65 taels of silver, 17 dan of grain, and more than [-] pieces of silk."

Tang Can and Gao Yuanyi were not surprised by what the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance said.

They already knew this number in their hearts.

What really surprised them was that Shangguan Wan'er's temperament seemed to have changed again.

Overnight, it seemed... not as stiff as before.

"Okay." Shangguan Wan'er nodded, glanced at Tang Can, and then said, "A few months ago, Huainan was flooded. At that time, the court had no money and was unable to provide relief."

"Now, since I have money, I can't ignore it."

"The decree is to allocate 30 taels of silver to Huainan Road to build Buddhist temples, support eminent monks, and pray for the people of Huainan Road."

Shangguan Wan'er finished speaking.

The huge court hall was completely silent.

A few people thumped in their hearts.

I always feel that these words sound so familiar?
It seems... many days ago, the Empress said similar nonsense.

At that time, it seemed to be dissuaded by Tang Yushi?
With a few glances, he immediately found Tang Can in the front of the crowd without any mistakes.

but……

Before Tang Can could open his mouth, Fang Xiaoru, a scholar of the Wenge University, stood up with a solemn expression, "Report to Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate!"

"The Wen Pavilion is too powerful, it should be abolished." Shangguan Wan'er spoke lightly enough to cause an earthquake in the court.

Tang Can and Gao Yuanyi's expressions changed slightly, and their gazes all fell on Shangguan Wan'er in an instant!
