Luo Wenge was slightly stunned, and realized that the base of his ear was burning badly: "Your Majesty's joke is not funny."

"Eunuch Li also often said that I'm not good at making jokes." Xiao Yulan put away her smile.

Luo Wenge pursed his lower lip, unable to answer the question.

Fortunately, Xiao Yulan automatically relieved the embarrassment of the two of them, he said: "Let me see the list of women who are friends with Wen Tianzhong."

If it is said who knows the women of each family best in the court, it must be His Majesty who is in front of him.It wasn't long after the previous draft, Xiao Yulan still remembered.

Luo Wenge quickly passed the paper over, he didn't know what was written on it, but he could see that Xiao Yulan's expression was much more subtle.

He felt particularly uneasy: "Your Majesty?"

Xiao Yulan turned to look at him, her tone full of fun: "I heard that Xu Jinyuan had a personal relationship with Luo Aiqing before she was conferred the title of empress, I don't know if it's true or not."

Luo Wenge was stared at uncomfortably, but it was a fact, he admitted with a stiff face: "That's the case, rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister and the empress are in a normal relationship, not as close as rumored."

"Why are you nervous?" Xiao Yulan asked amusedly, "I just asked casually, Luo Aiqing might have overreacted, if Xu Jinyuan hears this, I don't know how sad it will be."

Luo Wenge was so embarrassed that he couldn't bear it, but he refused to accept the high hat: "Your Majesty, don't make fun of me, I'm just young and ignorant, and I just want to provoke General Xu."

"Okay, don't explain, I don't want to hear what happened between you and Xu Jinyuan." Xiao Yulan said.

Luo Wenge mistakenly thought that Xiao Yulan cared about Xu Jinyuan's past, and would feel unhappy when he said it. If he had to explain more at this time, he might make Xiao Yulan even more unhappy, and he would be in danger, so he just shut up.

Xiao Yulan was really unhappy in his heart, he was thinking, how many rotten peach blossoms does Luo Wenge have that he doesn't know?

Bearing the burden of pretending to be a queen, all kinds of old lovers and confidants emerge one after another, does it mean that they will overturn the wall sooner or later?

He, Xiao Yulan, is the emperor, and he will never allow such a thing to happen!I also don't want to hear any anecdotes about Luo Wenge's past affairs, as his queen, no matter what rumors spread, they can only be related to him.

Xiao Yulan looked at Luo Wenge, who had a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes, feeling even more unhappy, and handed over the paper: "I don't mean anything else by asking you, because Xu Jinyuan is on the list."

Luo Wenge suddenly realized, and felt ashamed in his heart: "This minister was rude, thank you Your Majesty for not pursuing it."

"You don't have to thank me every now and then, I'm not a chicken-hearted person." Xiao Yulan said.

Luo Wenge thought to himself: You can't believe these words casually.

His eyes turned slightly, and he talked about another important matter: "Your Majesty, the death of Miao Jianghai..."

"I asked Xie Wenxuan to find a reason to prevaricate." Xiao Yulan sat down again, took a sip of tea, raised his eyes and saw Luo Wenge's expression on his face, he frowned, "Luo Aiqing has nothing to do with this matter. Another opinion?"

"Is Your Majesty being hasty in doing this?" Luo Wenge asked.

Anyway, it's a human life, it's too child's play if the muddle is gone, and the real culprit hasn't been found yet.

Xiao Yulan sighed: "Sometimes I think you are too smart, making it difficult for people to get close to you, and sometimes I think you are cute and stupid. If it were an ordinary person, I would have sent you to the frontier long ago, and only you can make me reluctant to touch you." .”

Luo Wenge's heart beat violently several times, panicking out of control.

Xiao Yulan said lazily and comfortably: "Not many people know about that letter. Only I, Xie Wenxuan, and you have read the contents of the letter. I dealt with it in a confused manner. I wanted to see who would be the first to stand out. I asked Tan Yu to send someone to Following those insiders, we will soon find out who is the spy. I have thought about it, rather than waiting for you to find out who is who in the court, it is better to follow the clues."

Luo Wenge got it right: "I know."

"It's good to know." Xiao Yulan played with the teacup and squinted at him, "I'm quite curious what kind of person Luo Aiqing would like."

Luo Wenge hadn't thought about this matter, and it was a little hard to turn around when it was mentioned suddenly: "I haven't thought about it."

Xiao Yulan couldn't tell what she was feeling, she seemed a little helpless: "Luo Aiqing is very slow in love."

"I don't want to waste my time on such frivolous things." Luo Wenge said.

He didn't know that if you don't say something, you can forget it. If you say it, you will set up a flag, and you will be slapped in the face in the future.

Xu knew him well, and upon hearing this, Xiao Yulan's expression remained unchanged: "The woman on the list, from my point of view, is more likely to be the daughter of the Minister of Rites."

Luo Wenge knew that the Minister of Rites belonged to Xu Yingping, and Wen Tianzhong was closely related to Shen Jue, so the situation was more complicated than he imagined.

Xiao Yulan crossed Erlang's legs, looked at his pensive expression, and said slowly: "If I hadn't named Xu Jinyuan the queen, she would actually be the most suitable."

Luo Wenge understood instantly: "Your Majesty's words made me feel that I must meet Xu Jinyuan."

"I forgot that she was in your hands." Xiao Yulan chuckled softly.

Luo Wenge coughed lightly: "This is also a helpless move."

"It's nothing. How you want to deal with her is your right. I won't ask. You don't have to go to Fengqi Palace in the next few days." Xiao Yulan put down the teacup, "I've finished what I wanted to say. It's getting late. You should go back to the palace."

Luo Wenge followed Xiao Yulan out, and sent her directly outside the mansion.

The carriage disappeared into the thick darkness, Luo Wenge stood upright and walked towards the mansion.

Seeing him coming in, Luo Rong asked softly: "My lord, why did Your Majesty come to the house suddenly?"

"Look for me if you need something." Luo Wenge said.

Luo Rong wanted to ask something, but Luo Wenge didn't like them interfering with court affairs, even out of concern, Luo Rong could only bear to watch him walk away.

It was rare for Luo Wenge to sleep in his own room that night.

Before dawn the next day, Luo Wenge went to the side hall of the Hall of Peace. There were a lot of people, and when they saw him, whispers and conversation suddenly came, and many pairs of eyes looked at him with different expressions.

Luo Wenge felt something was wrong, and before he stepped in, Eunuch Li hurried over from the other end of the corridor, and shouted anxiously: "Lord Luo, please stay."

Luo Wenge turned his head to look: "Eunuch Li."

"Hey, it's the old slave." Eunuch Li wiped the sweat from his brow, saluted the adults inside, and said to him, "Lord Luo, please follow the old slave. Your Majesty has something important to see you."

Luo Wenge intuitively felt that this important matter must be inseparable from the eyes of people like Piandian looking at him.

The answer was in Xiao Yulan's hands, Luo Wenge naturally obeyed, and followed Li Gonggong Shi Shiran away.

When the two walked away, the discussions in the side hall suddenly became louder.

"Miao Jianghai was killed yesterday. I heard that it was related to him. Have you heard?"

"I heard about it, and I said to leave him a letter, in which every word revealed his crimes, and I apologized to His Majesty by committing suicide!"

"Where did you all hear that?"

"Last night, I overheard the chat in the tea house, and there was an uproar overnight."

"Do you think His Majesty will punish him? He has been favored recently, and he has the intention of becoming a celebrity."

"It would be too childish for His Majesty not to punish him, but there is not enough evidence to punish him. Let's have a look first."

"That's right, don't make yourself unhappy."

Xie Wenxuan, who was sitting in a remote corner, looked at the lively discussion and thought that the result might be unexpected.

Luo Wenge was restless, looking at the figure of Eunuch Li walking in front, his brows slowly raised.

"This old slave can only send you here, Your Majesty is waiting for you in the hall." Eunuch Li stopped outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation and said with a bow.

Luo Wenge returned the salute: "Thank you, Eunuch."

Eunuch Li didn't even dare to shout, he stepped aside and waited to be summoned.

Luo Wenge knocked on the door of the hall and entered by himself. Xiao Yulan in the hall did not sit high on the dragon chair like in the past, and whispered to the man in black who was kneeling in front of him. Seeing him come in, he said a few more words, and the man in black got up Disappeared in the hall in a blink of an eye.

Luo Wenge closed the door with his backhand: "Your Majesty."

"The fish I wanted to catch has come out of the water." Xiao Yulan went straight in, with a solemn expression, "The fact that Miao Jianghai committed suicide and left a letter for you is known to everyone. If you go to Dali Temple to be on duty in the morning, maybe you will meet him." Miao Jianghai's wife."

"Ask me to pay for her husband's life?" Luo Wenge asked.

Xiao Yulan nodded: "She told Xie Wenxuan that Miao Jianghai must have committed suicide."

"Your Majesty has checked her?" Luo Wenge said quietly.

Xiao Yulan knew that he couldn't hide these things from him, saying that he was smart was like this time: "He has a clean family background, and there is nothing wrong with treating Miao Jianghai with respect as a guest."

"Then what does Your Majesty plan to do with me?" Luo Wenge quietly pinched the cuffs with his hands tucked into his sleeves, the chrome embroidery on them made his fingertips ache, his voice was hoarse, "Your Majesty, send me to Zhao Prison."

"Huh?" Xiao Yulan looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"I believe Lord Xie will find out the truth and clear me up. Before that, in order to avoid verbal criticism, please abide by the laws of the country." Luo Wenge raised the hem of his clothes and knelt in front of Xiao Yulan.

The person behind the scenes who planned this matter was to test his position in Xiao Yulan's heart.

Whether it was not taken seriously as before, or because of the reception, the matter gradually gained trust and became Xiao Yulan's right-hand man who could bear the heavy responsibility.

At a critical moment, he didn't want to expose the current situation of the two of them, so he voluntarily asked to be sent to Zhao Prison to save Xiao Yulan from being entangled.

Luo Wenge really thought too much about this matter, because Xiao Yulan wasn't entangled at all.

Xiao Yulan looked at him inexplicably for a while, and then smiled without straining her expression: "You get up first, I haven't said anything yet, you first arrange yourself clearly."

Luo Wenge: "..."

"Do you still remember what I told you yesterday?" Seeing that he refused to get up, Xiao Yulan came over and bent down to help him.

Of course Luo Wenge remembered: "Your Majesty said to let Mr. Xie find a reason to prevaricate."

"Don't say anything when you hear anything later, I will deal with it properly." Xiao Yulan withdrew her hand.

Luo Wenge didn't want to use this method of evasion: "Your Majesty, let me and Lord Xie investigate together."

Xiao Yulan smiled: "Luo Aiqing, you are a suspect in the eyes of everyone. It's embarrassing for me and Xie Wenxuan to be blind. If I ask you to investigate the case together, are you afraid that the officer will not speak?"

Luo Wenge's cheeks were slightly red, even though he knew how difficult this request was, he still wanted to say: "I don't want to come out, I just let people spread the word among them."

"If you think about it, even if I agree, would Xie Wenxuan agree?" Xiao Yulan said.

Luo Wenge was left speechless.

"To put it another way, if Xie Wenxuan agrees, I have nothing to say." Xiao Yulan couldn't bear to see him frowning, so she softened and changed her words.

Luo Wenge looked at him dubiously: "Really?"

Xiao Yulan nodded: "I keep my word."

These words sounded familiar, and Luo Wenge's expression changed: "Then it's settled, if Mr. Xie agrees, His Majesty will have nothing to say."

Xiao Yulan really wanted to know how he could persuade Xie Wenxuan, so she smiled and said, "Okay."

"Thank you Your Majesty in advance." Luo Wenge said.

Xiao Yulan was puzzled.

"Your Majesty is willing to bear the blame for my minister, I am very grateful." Luo Wenge said.

Xiao Yulan walked back and forth beside him with her hands behind her back: "I don't need you to be grateful, just help me after this incident."

Luo Wenge smiled, like a water lily just blooming, elegant and moving: "I will do my best."

Xiao Yulan was absent-minded for a moment, and sighed for a while: "You go back first. Remember, keep silent later, only if you don't go to Zhao Prison, will you have a chance to find out the truth."

Even though Luo Wenge didn't want to do this, it couldn't be denied that Xiao Yulan was right.

If he really invited himself to Zhao Prison, he was afraid that he would go in alone and come out full of lawsuits.

Luo Wenge nodded solemnly, and retreated to the side hall.

The morning court was originally peaceful, but the sixty-year-old man standing behind Shen Jue suddenly stepped out, regardless of his age, his voice sounded loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something to play."

Xiao Yulan smiled lightly, raised her hand and said, "Scholar Yang, please tell me."

"I heard an interesting rumor this morning that Luo Wenge, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, forced to death the member of the household department, Miao Jianghai." Yang Taiqing said.

Xiao Yulan fiddled with the bracelet: "Scholar Yang also said it's a rumor, so you can't believe it."

"It's being circulated in the streets and alleys. It is reported that there is still a letter that reveals Luo Shaoqing's various crimes." Yang Taiqing poked his neck, his face full of righteousness, "I hope His Majesty can order a thorough investigation of this matter."

Xiao Yulan stopped, and glanced lazily across the officials: "You all think so too?"
