Chen Yuekui and Chen Xiangyuan immediately knelt down, "Mother, I know I was wrong."

Song Tingran also stood up from his seat, "My lord, Xiaokui and Chen Xiangyuan are doing it for you. This matter is extremely difficult and dangerous. If it succeeds, of course there is nothing to say. If it fails, and you don't know about it, you will naturally follow." It’s okay with you.”

The Duke ignored the kneeling Chen Yuekui and Chen Xiangyuan and said, "That makes sense, but I heard that Xiangyuan has lived in your house for a long time."

Song Tingran's heart skipped a beat. Now many people knew about it, and they couldn't hide it.

"My lord, Chen Xiangyuan also made this decision to relieve your worries. He lives in my house and is taken care of by his husband. It is very appropriate."

"Yeah, but his reputation has indeed been bad for so many years. I haven't found anyone for him and I just want to find a good match. Your family background and mine are not a good match."

Chen Xiangyuan knelt on the ground and snorted in his heart. He didn't want to choose something good, but he just felt that it was of no use and didn't want to pay attention to it.

"It's natural. I'm just a country boy, so I don't deserve to be the young master of the Duke's mansion."

"Well, it's good to know. I will try my best to end this matter as soon as possible, so as to avoid long nights and dreams. When the time comes, you can go back to your hometown and live a good life after taking the reward."

"Thank you, sir."

The Duke ordered someone to escort Song Tingran out, and also asked Chen Yuekui and Chen Xiangyuan to retreat, and the three of them returned to the house together.

The servants immediately brought out the best wine and food, which had been heated several times, and they finally came back after meeting someone.

The three of them were all hungry, and they started talking after eating for a while.

"Sister Ran, why did you suddenly think that there was a corpse in the coffin?"

There are only three of them here, and the servants who are serving, Chen Yuekui, have all given up.

"Your sister has been working for the Empress for many years and is very strict. She will definitely handle it well. I suddenly thought of this, so I interrupted what you were about to say. Even if I guessed wrong, you can explain it later. , After all, the Duke cares about you, but if he told you in advance, it would be over if there were corpses inside. "

"Sister Ran, fortunately you are here, otherwise it would be difficult for my mother."

"I'm trying my best this time, mainly the two of you. A little carelessness can be a serious crime of losing your head."

Song Tingran looked at the table full of wine and food, and only ate the nearest dishes.

She also has little appetite. When the matter is completely settled, she can feel at ease.

"Miss Song, Xiaokui and I have the same blood as my sister. He worked hard and sought power for us. What we did was nothing. And only in this way can we be stable in the future. But you, on the other hand, did not hesitate to do it for your sister. Thanks for your hard work, you have come all the way to do something that may cost you your head, please give me your respects to Xiang Yuan!”

With that said, Chen Xiangyuan knelt down on the ground. Before Song Tingran could help him up, Chen Yuekui on the other side also knelt down to thank him.

"What are you doing? We have been a family for a long time, Xiaokui, I treat you as my own sister."

"I know, I also regard you as my sister."

The three of them sat at the dining table to eat again. Song Tingran couldn't sit for too long. The injury was still aching. It hurt after sitting for a long time. She also had to sleep on her stomach at night.

In the next two days, Jing Zhaoyin stayed awake. She had been handling cases like this all year round, and there were all witnesses and physical evidence. After a little investigation, all the minor officials related to the prime minister were exposed.

This content was actually even more outrageous than what Chen Yuekui had in hand.

The empress Lei Ting was furious, but it was hard work and meritorious service for him to be the prime minister, so he was not allowed to die, which hurt the hearts of other hard-working officials. He was demoted to a commoner and sent to the border with his family members and his servants confiscated the property.

Other officials who were dependent on the prime minister were punished to varying degrees.

After this decree came down, it became the hottest topic in Shengjing City in recent years.

The Duke of Guo suddenly became the only humerus minister beside the empress, and those who wanted to curry favor would probably have to circle Shengjing City dozens of times.

"Sister Ran, it's great. The prime minister has fallen, and no one will threaten us again!" Chen Yuekui cried with joy.

Chen Xiangyuan: "Xiaokui, we have done it. From now on, you will be the most capable girl in the Duke's palace. Mother will respect you. We have completely turned over. I have also benefited from it. No one cared before, but now people come to ask for marriage." There are a lot of people, but there is no news from my sister.”

The three of them were suddenly separated from their joy.

"Xiao Kui, do you have any clues about the miracle doctor you have been looking for before?"

"No, it's like the world has disappeared. However, there is news, I don't know if it is good news."

"Come on, no matter what it is, it would be great if there is news." Song Tingran and Chen Xiangyuan both looked at Chen Yuekui expectantly.

"My people came to report that about a month ago, they did see a person near Ping'an Town. He looked a bit like the legendary miracle doctor, but he didn't dare to confirm it. When he looked for it again, there was no trace."

Song Tingran estimated the time and felt a little hope in her heart, "If this is the case, Chen Xiangyin must still be alive!"

After saying that, Song Tingran quickly looked around. Fortunately, there was no outsider. She covered her mouth and said, "I made a mistake. I have to be more careful in the future."

Chen Yuekui comforted Song Tingran, held her hand, and said: "Sister Ran, it's okay. I understand your heart, but these three words are too heavy. We can't talk about it again in the future. Brother Xiangyuan and I also Will keep it in mind.”

"it is good."

Chen Xiangyuan: "By the way, mother said that there will be a banquet in the evening, so Xiaokui and I will take you back to the Duke's Mansion for a drink."

Chen Yuekui: "Yes, pack up. We're going to leave later."

Song Tingran agreed, tonight was her farewell, and she was going to go home tomorrow. She missed her husband and children at home.

As soon as he changed his clothes, someone from the palace came to Chen Yuekui's house to announce the decree.

Chen Yuekui, Song Tingran, and Chen Xiangyuan knelt down to receive the order.

Hearing this, the Duke's Mansion couldn't get through for a while. The empress suddenly announced that the three of them had entered the palace for some unknown reason.

"My lord, I am really frightened. I wonder what the empress's intentions are?"

Chen Yuekui asked while stuffing the money. The person who came to convey the order quickly accepted it skillfully and said: "It's still a good thing, please hurry up."

"Thank you."

The three of them set off, and Chen Yuekui also sent someone to deliver news to the Duke's Mansion, telling them about the situation here.

In the palace, Song Tingran and Chen Xiangyuan were both here for the first time. She didn't dare to look around, she just expected to go home as soon as possible after successfully handling the situation.

The empress did not meet the three of them formally, but instead met in a side hall.

The empress sat high, and the three of them bowed their heads one by one.

"No need to be restrained, please sit down."

The empress spoke, but no one dared to disobey, and no one knew what to do. Song Tingran sat down below Chen Yuekui.

However, after sitting down, she felt that she should sit at the back, but changing positions at this time was too conspicuous, and the empress also spoke again.
