Wan Yu glanced at the officials on both sides as she walked in, and all the officials avoided their gaze in unison, refusing to meet Wan Yu's gaze, resisting with their whole bodies, as if saying: Go away!do not come!If you want to cut someone, go to the opposite side!

The position of the ministers during the court is also interesting. They stand on the left and right, and those who stand on the same side are often people from the same camp, and then stand from front to back according to the official position.This is not surprising, people will instinctively stay away from enemies and move closer to those they feel safe and close to.It's okay to stand side by side with people who are hostile to each other for a day or two, but who would like to be next to each other every day?

At the time of the previous dynasty, civil servants were still on the left and military officials were on the right. Later, eunuchs could also go to the court to discuss matters, and this rule faded away.Regardless of whether they are civil or military, all officials are [-]% afraid of eunuchs, and if they are divided into civil and military, the eunuchs will not be happy to stand on either side.Gradually, there is only a distinction between high and low official positions, not civil servants and military generals. The official rank is enough, and you can stand on the right or left at will.

So when Wan Yu came, the ministers not only hoped that Wan Yu would not come to their side, but also eagerly hoped that Wan Yu would go to the opposite side and start a killing spree.Many people think this way: as long as it is not me and my little friends, the demon queen will do the bloodbath of Taihemen!

Emperor Ming Cheng stood up from the dragon chair and walked to his highness to welcome Wan Yu.

He didn't come to pick up Wan Yu sincerely, but to prevent Wan Yu from stabbing people: "Why is the queen mother here?" Well, if she kills someone and sets fire to her later, I have nothing to do with it.

What?You said that I was deliberately delaying time just to wait for the Queen Mother?No, no, no, I'm not delaying time, I just want to have a chat with all the ministers, to get closer to the relationship between subordinates and subordinates, which is more conducive to the development of future work!

What?You do not believe.Come on!Dare to doubt the emperor, disrespectful, drag it out and chop it up!

Emperor Ming Cheng walked to Wan Yu's right, held her sword-holding right hand tightly with his right hand, and went around behind with his left hand to grab her left hand.Fu Wanyu leaned into Wanyu's ear and whispered as she walked up, "Didn't you come to ask for money to build Ning'an Palace? Why do you bring a sword?"

Wan Yu hid in disgust. When Emperor Ming Cheng spoke, heat poured into her ears. This overly intimate feeling made her a little sick.Sure enough, it's not the same as my own son!But why does the little eunuch feel uncomfortable blowing on her, but doesn't feel sick...

Emperor Ming Cheng was terribly worried, but Wan Yu was distracted thinking about other things.

"Let go! Aijia doesn't kill people." Wan Yu gave Emperor Ming Cheng a white look.

"You promise!" Emperor Ming Cheng had helped (captured) Wan Yu through the steps, and when he reached the dragon chair, he still didn't dare to let go.To use an inappropriate metaphor, he felt that Wan Yu was like a little mad dog now, as soon as he let go of the rope, he might rush down and bite people, and he would bite to death.

Wan Yu glared at Emperor Ming Cheng, this unlucky boy, it's fine not to point him to help, but also to make mistakes: "Promise!" Wan Yu was a little impatient.

Emperor Ming Cheng hesitated to return to the dragon chair and sat down. He didn't dare to sit down firmly, thinking that if Wan Yu really wanted to kill someone again, he would rush up and grab him.

Wan Yu stood on the top of the main hall, touched the ground with his sword and pestle, looked down at all the officials and said loudly: "Yesterday, Ning'an Palace entered the assassin!"

All the officials held my hand, and I hid behind him, all lowering their heads and not daring to look at Wan Yu.Hearing Wan Yu say that there were assassins in Ning'an Palace yesterday, she commanded to praise in her heart: O righteous man!hero!History will always remember your feats, and future generations will erect monuments for you!

Wan Yu paused for a long time after she finished speaking, she was observing everyone's expressions: "All raise your heads for Aijia! Those who dare not look directly at Aijia have ghosts in their hearts?" After speaking, she slammed the sword heavily on the ground , The impact of the metal on the ground made all the officials tremble in fright, and they all raised their heads reluctantly.

"This sword is a relic of the assassin who broke into Ning'an Palace yesterday." Wan Yu said again.She wanted to see who was relieved when the relic was mentioned.If it is the real murderer, knowing that the assassin is dead, he will be relieved because no one will confess himself.

"However, the assassin confessed the mastermind behind the scenes before he died, which is also the reason why Aijia came to the Taihe Gate today." Wan Yu looked at who would look nervous this time.

Forehead!None of His Highness's people are not nervous.

Wan Yu threw down the sword, and now all the officials were obviously relieved, except for one person!After repeated probing, Wan Yu already had an idea in her mind, but she was still not sure.

The last trial remains.

"The mastermind behind the assassin's confession is..." Wan Yu quickly glanced at the crowd, and then said: "The chief minister of the cabinet, Yang Qiyu!" Wan Yu didn't look at Yang Qiyu, but looked at the person she suspected.

Sure enough, there was an imperceptible smugness on the man's face, which was a kind of pride after a successful deception, mixed with the joy of getting away with it.

hehe.Wan Yu is more joyful than the real murderer.

Yang Qixun was in his sixties, so he was almost fainted by the Queen Mother's words.He has half of his body buried in the soil, and he is already high in the position of chief minister, so why bother to assassinate the queen mother and cause trouble for the Yang family?

"Your minister is wronged!" Yang Qixun knelt down and shouted.

Wan Yu knew that Yang Qixun was wronged: "If Yang Ge is really wronged, let's catch the real culprit for Ai's family! After three days, if the real culprit has not been found, Ai's family can only believe the assassin's words." Three days is enough. Even if Yang Qiyu couldn't find him, Wan Yu planned to secretly give some hints.

Yang Qixun had to come forward for this matter. Although Wan Yu saw who the real culprit was, there was no evidence!The assassins are all dead, so it's not easy to find physical evidence, and it's not easy for her to convict someone for such a big matter.It's different when Yang Qixun comes forward. The old man has been an official for decades, and his disciples are all over the world. In order to clear up the old man's grievances, the disciples must show their magical powers. It is not easy to find some evidence.

In fact, to put it bluntly, even if the assassin gave another name, Wan Yu wanted to smear Yang Qixun by borrowing the connections of the Yang family.

Yang Qizhen tremblingly said: "I... I obey the order."

He is also an old fox, and he has seen that the empress dowager is either sincerely suspicious of him, or just wants him to catch the real murderer.It's okay if you catch it, but if you can't hold it, it's hard to say whether the empress dowager will wrong him in a fit of anger.The Empress Dowager is a person of very average character, so don't expect this little ancestor to be reasonable.

Yang Qixun was still worried that it would not be easy for someone who could get the assassin into the harem.It may not be difficult to find the real culprit, but if the real culprit is untouchable... Yang Qixun looked worriedly at Meng Delai behind him.This matter is not related to Dongchang, right?

The case of Ning'an Palace Assassin is difficult!Where is the difficulty?Ordinary cases analyze the victim’s enemies, such as love and vendetta, or look at who is the biggest beneficiary after the victim’s death. In short, there are many ways to narrow down the scope of the murderer.

Queen Mother's case is different.

The empress dowager's enemy—approximately equal to the whole world.

The beneficiaries after the death of the Empress Dowager—approximately equal to the whole world.

This kind of case that everyone in the world is suspicious of is unprecedented, where should he investigate it?

After receiving the decree, Yang Qixun was helped up by someone.

After Wan Yu finished talking about the assassins, she began to ask for money to rebuild the Ning'an Palace.She turned to Emperor Ming Cheng and said: "Your Majesty, that assassin committed arson. Last night, a big fire burned Ning'an Palace to the ground. Aijia wants to ask the Emperor to allocate funds to build the palace!"

As soon as the words came out, His Highness immediately began to whisper to each other.There is someone who is not afraid of death and immediately retorts in a gentle tone: "Now the national treasury is in a serious deficit, and a lot of funds that should be allocated in the local area have not yet been received. According to my humble position, there are many palaces in the harem. The empress can temporarily move to other palaces until the national treasury is filled. It’s never too late to build.”

Wan Yu glared at the speaker, walked up to His Highness and picked up the sword that was thrown just now.Sure enough, there was an instant silence.

Wan Yu stood at His Highness and said to the officials: "This money is considered to be borrowed from the national treasury by Ai's family, and it will be paid back with interest. Do you have any objections, my lords?" Wan Yu walked around with a sword in her hand, but no one was there. The words said: "Since there is no objection from everyone, it is so decided."

With the sword dangling brightly in front of his eyes, who dares to have an opinion?

Yao Xili witnessed everything outside the door, and he admired the empress dowager.After the court was over, all the officials went out angrily, Yao Xi hurriedly stepped aside and waited for the Empress Dowager to come out.

Wan Yu didn't come out, and went to sit down on the dragon chair as soon as the court was over. "But I'm tired of standing still." Wan Yu threw down her sword and sat lazily next to Emperor Ming Cheng. "What's going on in Lenggong? Who were you in a hurry to see last night?"

Emperor Ming Cheng, who had been worried for a long time, was relieved and said with a smile: "A noble man."

Wan Yu doesn't understand very well, is there any woman in the cold palace that the emperor cares about? "Then why do you care about throwing it into the limbo?"

"She's going by herself. It's a long story..." Emperor Ming Cheng smiled sweetly. It doesn't matter what happened back then, as long as people are willing to come back to him.

"I can't tell, the majesty, the majesty, will let a little girl mess around." Wan Yu couldn't help being curious about who the girl was, and Emperor Ming Cheng, who was in his thirties, regained the shyness of a teenager and took the initiative to go A ghostly place like the Lenggong.

Emperor Ming Cheng smiled and said, "It seems that the late emperor didn't treat you the same way." He understood more and more what Wan Yu meant to the late emperor. A person who you care about very much and work hard to get, but you may not get it in the end.

If a person is alive, he must have a goal.Wan Yu was the unattainable dream of the late emperor, and Lan Guiren belonged to him.The result is not so important, what is important is the process of chasing hard.

"Did the arsonist find out?" Wan Yu was more concerned about this.

"Hmm." Emperor Ming Cheng had a trace of sadness on his face: "Ms. Yu couldn't bear it anymore, and set fire to suicide."

Wan Yu doesn't believe it.Yu Shi looks like someone who has the guts to commit suicide?People who can't bear the pain choose to commit suicide?Burning charcoal is much more comfortable than sleeping, or you can throw yourself into a well and hang yourself!Why can't you figure out how to suffer that crime?

"Ms. Yu is gone?" Wan Yu suspected that due to Mr. Yu's popularity, it might be an accidental vendetta faked.It doesn't matter if Yu Shi is dead, it is not difficult to torture Yu Shi to death in the cold palace, but it is not easy to think of the person who burned the palace!

"No more." Emperor Ming Cheng nodded.

"Who told the emperor that Mrs. Yu committed suicide?" Besides the person involved knowing about this kind of thing, shouldn't the onlookers first suspect that Mrs. Yu's room accidentally caught fire?Even if Mrs. Yu yelled loudly: I'm not alive, I'm going to burn myself to death!On a thundery night, if the women in the cold palace are afraid that they will lose their accommodation, they will stop Yu Shi from making a move, right?

"Everyone." Emperor Ming Cheng looked at Wan Yu: "Why is the Empress Dowager so concerned about the fire in the cold palace?"

"One voice?" Wan Yu's doubts became more and more serious.

Emperor Ming Cheng recalled what happened in Jingling Palace last night, and nodded.

Wan Yu had a conclusion in her heart, but she didn't tell Emperor Ming Cheng.She would like to meet the nobleman who took the initiative to enter the cold palace, the woman who can catch Emperor Ming Cheng so dead is not easy.Wan Yu is someone who has experienced it, and women are much more accurate in judging women than men who are blinded by beauty.

"Ai's family will go to Qianqing Palace to accompany the emperor for lunch, and the emperor will invite that nobleman too!" Wan Yu got up and said.
