After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness

"Sir, although the Queen Mother has lived in Jiashou Palace for a long time and has not been concerned with worldly affairs, you should recognize this imperial decree, right?"

"Ye Jin was originally the fiancée given to the Third Prince, so she is considered half of our royal family. Even if she made a huge mistake, she should be imprisoned in the Imperial Clan Court. What's the big deal about imprisoning her in your Imperial Censorate?"

At this time Qi Yusheng also wanted to ask in his heart, what is this matter? After Lin Xun brought the person to the inspection office, he just ignored him and left the mess to him, right?

Qi Yusheng felt bitter in her heart, not knowing how many times she had poked Lin Xun's meanness, but she still maintained the demeanor of a junior official of the Imperial Censorate and said to Fangyue, "Aunt, please be patient. It's not that I don't recognize the Queen Mother's will, but according to the law, the Imperial Censorate is directly under the jurisdiction of the Emperor. If there is no imperial decree but only the Imperial Edict, and you take the person away from here, wouldn't that tell everyone in the world that the Queen Mother's words are more effective than the Emperor's? It's a big taboo for the harem to interfere in politics!"

Qi Yusheng was able to debate with all the ministers in the court. He could single-handedly challenge the forces of the Eastern Palace and the Third Prince, let alone a palace maid.

Fang Yue's expression suddenly changed...

In recent years, the Empress Dowager has always pretended to be indifferent to worldly affairs, and almost many people have forgotten that she once interfered in the harem of the late emperor in a very forceful manner.

Later, for unknown reasons, the late emperor, who had always been filial, could no longer tolerate it and directly abandoned the rule that the harem was not allowed to interfere in government affairs. And the empress dowager also moved to Jiashou Palace to devote herself to worshipping Buddha since then...

On weekdays, she seldom asked about the affairs of the harem. Apart from summoning Xiao Xuetang to the palace to keep her company and relieve her boredom, she rarely appeared in public over the years.

Therefore, everyone only knew about the powerful Queen Wang in the harem, and almost ignored the Queen Mother...

This time, if the Queen Mother wants to step forward to protect Ye Jin for the sake of Lin Shaoshu's offspring, it doesn't seem to be a difficult task.

Fang Yue said bitterly: "Isn't it just an imperial decree? Just wait!"

After saying that, he left with his people in a huff, but before leaving, he did not forget to warn Qi Yusheng: "Serve Miss Jin well. If anything happens to her, all the people in the Jinjianyuan will be buried with her."

The Lin royal family had few descendants. After Emperor Yonghui ascended the throne, no princes were born in the harem. The only ones were the three princes who were in the Lin Wang Palace at that time.

The second and third princes were both unmarried, and although the crown prince had been married for many years and had many women around him, the East Palace had not had a grandson born in all these years...

This is also the reason why Queen Wang and the Wang family have gradually become uneasy over the years, because now there are rumors outside that the prince is infertile!

In the royal family, offspring are very important.

If Ye Jin could give birth to a prince, he would be the eldest grandson of the royal family, which would be tantamount to adding another layer of bargaining chips to Lin Shaoshu's identity...

Aunt Fangyue was so excited when she thought of this that she immediately went to the Queen Mother to report this great event.

After Fang Yue left, Qi Yusheng secretly sighed and said to himself, "It's going to be exciting again..."

……

At this time, it was Xiao Xuetang's turn to sneeze in the carriage. She touched her itchy nose, looked at Lin Xun and asked, "Now Xiao Yi and Ye Jin both have places to go, and there is still one person detained in the inspection office. What are you going to do?"

Xiao Xuetang and Lin Xun both knew that no matter whether it was Xiao Yi, Ye Jin, or Ye Nan, the information obtained from their mouths was far less valuable than the person behind them.

Therefore, the cooperation reached between Xiao Xuetang and Lin Xun this time, the three of them being locked up in the prison was just bait, in order to lure out the forces behind them and make them take action.

Hearing this, Lin Xun's mouth curled up slightly with a meaningful smile, and he said calmly: "Calculating the time, he should be here..."

……

Almost at the same time when Lin Xun finished speaking, a group of uninvited guests came to the inspection office again -

"The Qinglian Guards are following the order of His Majesty to interrogate the prisoner!"

It turned out to be the Qinglian Guards who appeared and disappeared mysteriously beside the emperor...

Before the Jujianyuan, the Qinglian Guard was very powerful and had been secretly collecting information about court officials. Their infiltration was pervasive and all court officials shuddered at the mention of the Qinglian Guard.

However, after Emperor Yonghui ascended the throne, Lin Xun founded the Jijianyuan, which replaced the Qinglian Guard's right to investigate cases.

Someone once said that Lin Xun founded the Jijianyuan just to check and balance the Qinglian Guards!

The current leader of the Qinglian Guard is named Xia He. In terms of official rank, he is equal to Lin Shaoshu. The two also have some frictions because of old events.

However, the two of them, one in the open and the other in secret, rarely had any interactions, but they did not expect to run into each other in the case of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.

This clay man also has a temper, not to mention Qi Yusheng who already has a bad temper. He can only let himself be manipulated in front of Lin Xun. When it comes to other people, Qi Yusheng is naturally the arrogant and conceited Shaoqing.

"I was wondering who it was. Turns out it was Deputy Commander Xia..."

Everyone knows that the person in charge now is Xia He, but Xia He also has a master, Xia Yan. However, Xia Yan has only been responsible for protecting Emperor Yonghui in secret over the years, so others will call him Xia He.

When Xia He heard Qi Yusheng call him "Deputy Commander", his face turned green.

However, he also knew that Qi Yusheng's words could make people angry, so he made a prompt decision and said, "Sir Shaoqing, I will not waste my words with you. I am following the order of the emperor to arrest him. If you don't want to disobey the order, just hand him over."

Seeing Xia He proudly holding up the imperial edict in his hand, Qi Yusheng's face turned green...

Qi Yusheng suppressed the urge to punch Xia He's smug face and said through gritted teeth, "Bring the prisoner that Deputy Commander Xia wants. Deputy Commander Xia, I have something else to do, so please leave."

The Qinglian Guards came quickly and left quickly, as if nothing had happened...

The Qinglian Guards have always been mysterious in their whereabouts. Unless something major happens that is related to the Emperor, they will not take action easily.

Now that Ye Nan was taken away from the prison, it meant that only Emperor Yonghui could know the truth behind Ye Nan, and Lin Xun could not touch it...

"Tsk, this Lin Xun is really cunning. He used an almost useless abandoned pawn to hook the big fish Qinglianwei."

Qi Yusheng was talking to herself, not showing the anger she had just shown...

……

"Is it the Qinglian Guard?"

The carriage of the Regent's Palace stopped at the deepest part of the back alley of the Imperial Censorate. The view here was excellent, and one could see clearly what was going on in the Imperial Censorate without being discovered.

Xiao Xuetang lay on the carriage, watching the group of people leave furtively, and said in surprise: "The Qinglian Guards are the emperor's guards. They never easily get involved in the affairs of the court, let alone participate in factional disputes. Why are they here?"

Compared to Xiao Xuetang's surprise, Lin Xun looked calm, and said as if he had expected it, "It was the emperor's instruction."

"Your Majesty, why did he take Ye Nan away?"

Xiao Xuetang asked doubtfully, and accidentally met Lin Xun's gaze, blurting out: "Is it related to the late emperor?!"

The only person who could make Emperor Yonghui so concerned and nervous was the late emperor...
