Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Lin Jing lowered his eyes slightly, his expression unchanged, as if he was thinking about Wan Shufang's words.

After a while, he knitted his eyebrows together and sighed slightly, "I really don't want the queen to be alive."

Wan Shufang's eyes were filled with worry. "Everyone wants her to die, but she managed to escape and tricked us. Even if we guess that she is still alive, we cannot reveal it, otherwise our peace will be broken."

Lin Jing remained silent, and the atmosphere gradually became colder, as if his mood at the moment turned into chilliness emanating from his body, trying to freeze everything around him.

Wan Shufang continued to organize the white papers in her hand and did not try to comfort Lin Jing.

She believed that Lin Jing would adjust his mood by himself. After a cup of tea, Lin Jing slowly exhaled and said meaningfully: "Be careful, don't be alone."

After he finished speaking, he specially arranged a few people to follow Wan Shufang, and then turned and left.

Not long after he left, Wei Mingzhou came to find him.

"Doctor Wei, where is Yanran?" Wan Shufang really wanted to see Yanran now.

"After she went to find Lin Jing, she never came back to find me." Wei Mingzhou answered, and then asked, "What do you want to see her for?"

"Liu Yaoyao was taken to the cold palace by Chen Changli. Based on Liu Yaoyao's temper, I think she will deliberately find an opportunity to meet Yanran."

When Wan Shufang mentioned Liu Yaoyao, her tone was filled with concern for Yanran.

"Yanran is hating Liu Yaoyao right now. If the two meet, I'm afraid there will be some trouble."

Wei Mingzhou held a different idea: "If Yanran wants revenge, she will calm herself down and won't let Liu Yaoyao notice anything."

Wan Shufang felt bitter: "Yanran is eager for revenge, maybe she will do this, but Liu Yaoyao is not so easy to fool."

"I'll go out and look for her." Wei Mingzhou had never had direct contact with Liu Yaoyao and had only heard her name from Old Man Xia.

Now seeing Wan Shufang looking worried, Wei Mingzhou couldn't comfort her, so he prepared to go look for someone.

"I'll go with you." Wan Shufang didn't want to stay here, so she left with Wei Mingzhou.

Not long after the two left, the Minister of Rites walked in.

He stared at the coffin sharply, then stepped forward and pushed it open.

Seeing the empty coffin, there was no surprise on his face. He just sighed and said, "It's just as I expected. No wonder things have been a little strange recently. It seems that the Queen is using the Eighth Prince to achieve her own ulterior motives."

When he said this, he thought of the emperor who had been poisoned, and immediately came over to check the emperor's face.

As soon as he made the discovery, Chen Changli walked in and caught him red-handed.

"My Lord Minister, what are you doing?" Chen Changli's eyes were extremely cold as he grasped the Minister of Rites with his hands as tight as iron pliers.

"Those who desecrate His Majesty's corpse should be executed along with their entire family." Ye Xuan landed behind Chen Changli. He stuck his head out, staring at the Minister of Rites inexplicably, and the words that came out of his mouth were full of murderous intent.

"This is not His Majesty." The Minister of Rites wanted to quibble, but then felt it was unnecessary and directly exposed the identity of the corpse, "This dead person is fake, where is the real His Majesty? Chen Changli, I want to ask you something."

Chen Changli's expression remained calm: "How could this not be His Majesty? Lord Shangshu, please stop talking nonsense."

Seeing that Chen Changli was able to keep his composure, the Minister of Rites became more and more suspicious that he was the one who arranged the fake emperor, and his expression suddenly turned ugly.

Then he looked at Ye Xuan and asked sternly, "Lord Ye, you are the most trusted minister of His Majesty. Now someone is impersonating His Majesty and fabricating the story that His Majesty was poisoned. Aren't you going to investigate it?"

Ye Xuan looked calm: "I only saw you trying to be disrespectful to His Majesty."

"You two are in the same group." The Minister of Rites said with certainty.

Chen Changli said sarcastically, "Lord Ye and I are both His Majesty's subjects. We are loyal to His Majesty, but I didn't expect that you think we are in the same group. It seems that you have done a lot of things in private that are not good for His Majesty."

He said this without mercy, and the Minister of Rites' face turned green when he heard his words.

Ye Xuan laughed at the side: "Chen Changli, you are right. This person clearly has problems, but he pretends to be wronged and slanders us. It's really hateful."

He felt that he had given in, and that the reason Luoyang City was able to stabilize so quickly was because of him and Chen Changli. Why shouldn't these protected people be honest and do their duty, and have to cause trouble at this critical juncture?

"If I remember correctly, you were just promoted by His Majesty. As far as I know, all the people promoted by His Majesty during this period are his confidants. How dare you treat His Majesty like this?"

Ye Xuan looked stern and questioned in a stern voice. The Minister of Rites trembled all over as if he had suffered a great humiliation.

"Ye Xuan, it is precisely because I am His Majesty's confidant that I believed the Eighth Prince's words and then began to suspect Chen Changli's wife."

"It's a pity that Chen Changli used words to block the Eighth Prince and failed to find out how Wan Shufang attacked His Majesty."

"I was very dissatisfied. In order to get to the bottom of this matter, I came alone to examine your Majesty's body and find out how your Majesty was killed."

"I am loyal to Your Majesty. Heaven and earth can bear witness to my loyalty. I will not allow the two of you to slander me here in unison."

Chen Changli's eyes were extremely cold, and his voice was as sharp as a knife: "My wife and Doctor Wei have explained very clearly how His Majesty died. Why do you still have doubts?"

"Even if you have doubts, you can find a doctor. Why do you come here alone?"

The Minister of Rites said righteously: "Those imperial doctors have long been bribed by you and your wife. How could they possibly tell me the truth?"

Chen Changli looked at him with a cold expression: "If the imperial physician could be bribed by my husband and me, why would the Eighth Prince not send an imperial physician?"

"The Eighth Prince is busy dealing with many affairs, how can he think these things through?" The Minister of Rites refused to give in. "Chen Changli, I know you and your wife have a good relationship, but your wife's actions do not allow you to quibble here."

"I only see you quibbling." Ye Xuan's face turned cold, "Tell me the truth, who do you belong to? Why are you here to dig up His Majesty's body at this time? Aren't you afraid that the Eighth Prince will catch you?"

"Ye Xuan, have you surrendered to the Crown Prince?" the Minister of Rites said in a firm tone.

Ye Xuan smiled coldly: "It's true that you are guilty of a crime."

Upon hearing this, the Minister of Rites felt his head buzzing and he was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

When he came to his senses, Chen Changli had already tied him up with ropes.

"Chen Changli, what are you doing?" The Minister of Rites struggled hard, but found that he could not break free from the ropes, and glared at Chen Changli.

"In order to prevent you from doing harm to His Majesty, I can only resort to this last resort." Chen Changli looked at him with an inexplicable expression, "When the Eighth Prince comes back, I will hand you over to him and let him deal with you."
