He couldn't help but give instructions to the doctor and the people my father was accustomed to using, saying: "Take good care of father..."

Fang Pin looked at Ji Xuan's face and said cautiously: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

Ji Xuan stopped thinking deeply and turned to look at Fang Pin, seeing a look of self-blame and guilt on her face.

He held his hand and said, "Don't think too much..."

Ji Xuan was worried and had no intention of comforting Fang Pin...

However, he has not yet figured out this strange idea.

The next day, after going to court, Ji Xuan knew where this weird idea came from.

After discussing the state affairs, just when the Queen Mother asked if there was anything else to write, someone suddenly walked out of the queue and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother...

During the time when I was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I checked the accounts over the years and found that during the period when I was also in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Duke Ji used his position to enrich his own pockets and embezzled millions of taels of money..."

For a moment, the whole court was in an uproar...

When Ji Xuan heard this, he felt as if he had been hit in the head, and his eyes were dizzy.

Thinking back to the strange words Du's father said to him yesterday, it seemed as if they were explaining the funeral arrangements...

Ji Xuan felt uneasy and wanted to go back and take a look immediately...

At this time, the imperial manager personally stepped forward and presented a pile of evidence to Emperor Tai'an.

After Emperor Tai'an saw it, he was very happy, but Long Yan was furious. He slapped the armrest with the auspicious dragon carved with his big palm, "Mr. Ji Guo is so courageous!"

Then he remembered something and handed it to the royal steward, "Mother, please take a look..."

The Queen Mother's eyelids twitched as she stared at the clear evidence in front of her.

She felt complicated in her heart. She knew very well that Ji Guogong had been doing things for her for so many years.

But after all, he was doing things for himself...that's what she thought in her heart.

After a long while, the Queen Mother said word by word: "Here comes the Duke of Chuan Ji!"

The imperial steward first looked at Emperor Tai'an.

After getting the emperor's approval, he hurried out.

Ji Xuan woke up from a dream and immediately came out and knelt in the middle with a calm expression, "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, this matter is too strange..."

The Queen Mother's eyes flashed, "Oh? Does the Minister of Justice think something is wrong?"

Most people would first panic when they hear something happened to their father, but Ji Xuan can still remain calm. From this point of view, Ji Xuan has grown a lot. The Queen Mother is pleased and appreciates him a little more.

Ji Xuan said calmly: "What I don't understand is that there are more than a hundred people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Duke Ji has also been in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for many years. Is it possible that no one discovered that he was greedy?

Why was it that after he was dismissed from office, his corruption was discovered? This is really unbelievable, please Queen Mother, Your Majesty please take a closer look..."

Although he didn't say it explicitly, the implication was that someone was framing him.

The Queen Mother said slowly: "The Minister of Justice, please get up and speak..."

After Ji Xuan thanked him, he stood up and looked at Yue Chenyan who was standing at the front.

Is it his handiwork?

Questions flashed through Ji Xuan's mind.

From his angle, you can only see his profile...

At this time, the official immediately said: "Dong Ji was dismissed hastily, and I need time to verify the accounts after taking office!"

Both sides held their own opinions, and for a while there was a lot of discussion in the court.

The Queen Mother and Emperor Tai'an listened to the increasingly loud noise below, and said in a voice that only the mother and son could hear: "Why should the emperor kill everyone? He is just a useless person who can't even stir up splashes..."

Fortunately, I was wise and when I felt something was wrong, I allowed Duke Ji to withdraw in time.

Otherwise, if he is found out while on the job, he will inevitably be dragged into the water under severe punishment.

Emperor Tai'an looked slightly startled when he heard this. He knew full well that all the money from Greedy Mo went into his mother's purse.

Otherwise, how can the Queen Mother support those Phoenix Guards?

Emperor Tai'an did not look back, and said with a faint smile: "The mother is wrong to blame her son. The son is almost under the eyes of the mother. Even if someone sneezes next to the son, the mother will know. So, this matter is really not done by the son. of……"

"The emperor is becoming more and more at ease now..." the Queen Mother said sarcastically.

The old eyes turned to the old god Yue Chenyan, "The Ai family is a little envious that the emperor has a sword, which is sharp enough and handy enough. But the Ai family kindly reminded the emperor that the knife is too sharp, and if you are careful, it will backfire and it will cut out the flesh. Eviscerated…”

He felt proud and happy, "Thank you, mother, for reminding me. My son will definitely be careful."

The Queen Mother looked at Yue Chenyan across from her with gloomy eyes, and she no longer had any intention of fighting with her son.

Yue Chenyan ignored the looks from the Queen Mother and Emperor Tai'an.

What he was thinking about was the turbulent past life that Yun Zhao told him.

His mood could not calm down for a long time.

If so, then he must prepare early...

After a cup of tea, the imperial steward Zheng Chang hurried in with a solemn expression.

When the emperor and the queen mother saw that he was alone, their hearts skipped a beat.

Hearing the footsteps, Ji Xuan turned his head and did not see his father. His heart tightened: "Manager Zheng..."

When all the civil and military officials saw Zheng Chang returning alone, all the noise suddenly stopped.

The entire court was so quiet that only Zheng Chang's slight footsteps could be heard.

However, Zheng Chang ignored Ji Xuan and reported: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, and Duke Ji committed suicide in his study..."

One glance stirred up a thousand waves, and instantly there was another uproar.

When Ji Xuan heard this, he felt dizzy, his body swayed, his lips trembled, and for a moment, tears blurred his vision...

His heart was filled with grief, and the words his father said to him yesterday echoed in his mind...

He never imagined that yesterday would be the last time he listened to his father's teachings in his life.

Yue Chenyan narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and then a touch of sarcasm flashed across his face. He was self-aware.

The Queen Mother's eyes were sore and she couldn't hold back the tears. She was worried about her son the most.

But now...

Emperor Tai'an was surprised at first, thinking that he was being advantaged, but...

"Dear Ji Guogong dared to commit suicide in order to escape the guilt of his crime? What explanation did he have? Why did he die after greedy Mo for such a huge amount of money?"

The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Tai'an in disbelief, her old red eyes full of anger, "Emperor, Duke Ji Guo has already paid the price with his life, isn't it enough?"

Emperor Tai'an's heart skipped a beat. He did not dare to face the overly provocative queen, and immediately said in a majestic voice: "How does the regent think we should deal with it?"

Yue Chenyan, who was down below, slowly raised his eyelids and looked at the Queen Mother, "Since the evidence is conclusive, what Duke Ji did was tantamount to committing suicide out of fear of crime.

But it is true that he was corrupt and perverted the law, and there was so much corruption, so where did the money go? This will go somewhere after all..."

Hearing this, Ji Xuan suddenly looked at Yue Chenyan, his bloodshot eyes bursting with deep hatred. He turned his head and immediately knelt on the ground, raised his head and was about to say something.

But what he met was the Queen Mother's cold gaze, and he was shocked...

For a moment, he choked and said, "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, please allow me to go home and make arrangements for my father's funeral..."
