Looking at the emperor's hurried away figure, the Queen Mother couldn't help but glare at Qing Jue.

"Why didn't you stop him?"

Qing Jue had no choice but to say, "It's getting late now, the envoy. I'm afraid your Majesty hasn't eaten yet."

The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "He is the emperor, who can starve him?"

Qingju didn't say anything more. The emperor was the Queen Mother's biological son. How could the Queen Mother let her own son go hungry?

"Okay, the Yi family can't eat so much, so you take it and share it with them."

Qing Jue saw that the Queen Mother was full, and then she smiled and agreed.

"Then I would like to thank the Queen Mother very much."

After the emperor returned to the Yangxin Hall, he couldn't help but ask Liao Cheng to take out the food.

Eating the braised pork, I even sweated on my forehead without stopping.

It wasn't until the plate reached the bottom that the emperor had to stop.

Liao Cheng on the side looked at this movement and couldn't help but become worried.

The emperor ate a lot more food today than usual. Could something happen?

"Your Majesty, do you want to go out for a walk?"

The emperor glanced at Liao Cheng and snorted coldly.

Feeling strong, he strode out of the Nourishing Heart Hall.

While walking, the emperor thought of Prince Rong's letter again and couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

If these things were really done by Rong Jiao, then this poisonous woman would not be allowed to stay.

"Let Li Xu come over."

Liao Cheng's heart skipped a beat. Li Xu was the manager of the Criminal Investigation Department.

Li Xu went to the Eighth Prince's Mansion before, and half of the people in the Eighth Prince's Mansion died. Now this...

But he did not dare to disobey the emperor's order, so he obeyed and left in a hurry.

Li Xu was also a little stunned when he saw Liao Cheng.

After coming back to his senses, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Eunuch Liao, what emergency have you encountered?"

Liao Cheng took a deep breath, and then said: "Hurry... follow our family to your majesty."

Li Xu's heart skipped a beat when he saw Liao Cheng like this.

Liao Cheng was the emperor's personal eunuch. He was so worried that something might happen to the emperor.

Li Xu didn't care about anything else and quickly grabbed Liao Cheng's sleeve.

"Brother Liao, please tell me, my brother, what important matter does His Majesty have to come to me now?"

As Li Xu spoke, he took out a certain amount of money from his sleeve and stuffed it into Liao Cheng's sleeve.

Liao Cheng was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Li Xu's face turned pale, he realized that he had misunderstood.

"Eunuch Li, don't worry. Your Majesty may have something to do with the Criminal Division."

Li Xuwen couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Then he bowed to Liao Cheng and said, "Thank you, Brother Liao, for telling me. If there is a chance in the future, we brothers should have two more drinks."

Liao Cheng thought that during this period, the Shenxing Division had indeed gained face in front of His Majesty, so he nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll definitely come when I get the chance."

When Li Xu followed Liao Cheng to the emperor, the emperor was indeed in a good mood.

"Your Majesty, Li Xu is here."

The emperor turned around and saw Liao Cheng bringing the people, and then nodded.

"Li Xu, I have something for you to do."

Li Xu quickly knelt down and saluted, "If your Majesty needs me for anything, I will do my best."

After receiving Li Xu's words, the emperor's mood obviously improved a little.

"Okay, okay, let's go back to Yangxin Hall and talk about it."

Now that they were in the Royal Garden, it was indeed not a good place to talk.

When Li Xu came out of the Nourishing Heart Hall again, there was a killing intent in his eyes.

Rong Jiao, Rong Jiao, you ruined my family back then, I want to see how you die in the future!

Looking at Li Xu's leaving figure, Liao Cheng couldn't help but frown.

"Your Majesty, this Li Xu..."

The emperor seemed to notice his worry, "Don't worry, except for Rong Jiao, none of the people Zhang Siyuan rescued is a wolf-hearted person."

Liao Cheng couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered that Li Xu was indeed the person Zhang Siyuan rescued.

Thinking of Zhang Siyuan, Liao Cheng's doubts disappeared.

If you want to find someone loyal in this big week, it must be Zhang Siyuan.

If it hadn't been for the emperor's emphasis on civility and restraint on military affairs, Zhang Siyuan would not have resigned and returned to his hometown at such a young age.

Liao Cheng will never forget this young general.

After the emperor knew that Rong Jiao's existence did not have much impact on Dazhou, he was relieved.

However, because Rong Jiao had been quite close to the children of the aristocratic families in the capital over the years, she did not rush to alert them.

However, just letting Rong Jiao become arrogant was not an option. The emperor thought for a long time before planning to let Li Xu's Criminal Investigation Department secretly collect evidence of Xuanyuan Jin and Rong Jiao's rebellion.

The emperor had tried to persuade Xuanyuan Jin, his son.

It's a pity that Xuanyuan Jin doesn't appreciate it. In this case, the emperor no longer has hope for this son.

Moreover, after knowing that the troops at the border failed to rush to the towns to rescue them in time, it was because of Rong Jiao's willfulness that the people in those towns were destroyed.

And Li Xu was the only one left in the weighing, so it was perfect for him to collect evidence of Rong Jiao's rebellion.

The emperor squinted his eyes and looked at the memorial on the table, his eyes full of contempt.

They are just a bunch of rats, yet they dare to praise their own achievements so righteously.

He wanted to see how many loyal ministers there would be in the Zhou Dynasty if that day came!

Liao Cheng saw that the emperor's expression was wrong and took two steps back calmly.

He has seen the emperor's methods these days. The smell of blood in the harem has not dissipated yet. Who dares to displease the emperor at this time?

At this time, Rong Jiao didn't know that she was being watched. She saw that Xuanyuan Jin had never set foot in her yard since she came back from Murong Mansion that day.

Rong Jiao knew that Xuanyuan Jin was probably still thinking about Wang Min.

Thinking of this, Rong Jiao's face became uglier day by day.

Now she couldn't sit still anymore. It was already the seventh day and she hadn't even seen Xuanyuan Jin's face. How could she not panic?

No, she had to show Xuanyuan Jin her importance.

Rong Jiao looked at the maid kneeling on the ground in front of her, then turned around and dropped the tea cup in her hand.

"Go find Wang Hai and the others."

Wang Hai was the person Xuanyuan Jin sent to Rong Jiao's courtyard to work for Rong Jiao.

Although Wang Hai didn't know what Rong Jiao wanted them to do, they didn't dare to disobey the Eighth Prince's order.

"You guys, go find some people for me."

Rong Jiao told him the names of some children from aristocratic families in the capital who had been close to her, and asked Wang Hai to help her contact these people.

Just when Rong Jiao was determined to win over the children of these aristocratic families, Wang Hai came back with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Auntie Rong, we went to these people's houses. But for some reason, their houses are closed."
