Although the matter was urgent and the summoning officer hurriedly urged, Han Yan returned home and changed into decent clothes before rushing into the palace with the summoning officer.When they arrived at the gate of the palace, they found that Tian Fu and Liu Ling, who had just discussed in the Han Mansion, had also rushed over.Several people glanced at each other hastily, without even saying a word, they walked towards Changle Palace together.

It was almost Xu time, and the night was low, dotted with stars.The huge palace was also lit with stars and lights, but the atmosphere was noisy and dull, and there was a sense of turmoil that was about to rain and wind filled the building.

All the way into the Changle Palace in silence, before arriving at the Changqiu Palace, I heard faint crying from inside.Heart-piercing, painful.Han Yan's heart almost sank to the bottom of the valley.After the little eunuch raised his voice, Han Yan and the others entered the hall.All I saw was the first empress dowager holding the corpse of Liu Wu, the former Liang king, in her arms, howling hysterically.The eldest prince Liu Xing and the queen Gillian sat with the empress dowager, their eyes were red and they looked sad.

Further down is Wang Yan, dressed in the queen mother's costume, standing at the bottom with a sad face, wiping away tears with a silk handkerchief in his hand from time to time.Liu Che stood beside Wang Yan and watched coldly, with a gloomy and dignified expression.

The rest of the kneeling ones were bought by King Liu of Liang, who was insisted on staying in Beijing by the Empress Dowager, and what he was crying at this moment was genuine sadness.Han Yan reckons that most of this sadness and despair are still at a loss for his unpredictable future, which can be inferred from his behavior of sneaking eyes on the Empress Dowager from time to time.

After hastily paying big gifts to the Empress Dowager and others, Han Yan looked at the Empress Dowager who was truly mourning and sighed, and softly persuaded: "People cannot be resurrected after death, so please mourn the Empress Dowager. For Your Majesty, for the great Han country, Please also take care of your body."

"Ah Yan, is Ah Yan here?" The Empress Dowager couldn't help getting excited when she heard Han Yan's voice. "Ayan, come here."

Seeing the appearance of the Empress Dowager stretching out her hand to summon her, Han Yan felt strange in her heart, walked to the front calmly, bowed and said, "Han Yan has seen the Empress Dowager."

"Ayan, they all said that Wu'er hanged himself to death, but I don't believe it. Wu'er is alive and well, why is it so hard to think about his death? Someone must have killed him secretly, you must find out who the murderer is !" The Empress Dowager said with a ruthless expression: "I will never let this vicious person go."

Han Yan was horrified when she heard this, and subconsciously glanced at Liu Che who was standing behind her, still expressionless.Han Yan had no choice but to stabilize the Empress Dowager and said: "The Empress Dowager mourns, the dead are the greatest, and it is more important to deal with the funeral of His Royal Highness Liang Wang first. What do you think?"

The Empress Dowager calmed down after hearing the words, before she said: "What Ah Yan said is that the funeral of His Royal Highness Liang is the most important thing."

After finishing speaking, he ordered Tai Changling to come in, and began to explain the funeral of King Liang.

Liu Che's complexion became more and more gloomy as he listened to the Empress Dowager's order after order.

After a while, the Taichang Department glanced at Liu Che profusely with sweat, and said falteringly: "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, this, this...doesn't make sense?"

"What's wrong?" The Empress Dowager was furious when she heard the words, "My beloved son is dead, so I can't even hold a grand funeral for my son as I wish?"

"But, but..." Taichang made cold sweat on his face, "but it's a bit expensive, and even the things of Guizhang can only be used when His Majesty is big. This is for King Liang... I'm afraid Is it inappropriate?"

The empress dowager was silent when she heard the words.After a while, he asked Liu Che dryly, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"The imperial court has its own rules and regulations, which cannot be commented upon." Liu Che said coldly.

The empress dowager was furious when she heard the words, "What do you mean, your uncle died inexplicably, don't you feel any guilt or sadness at all?"

Liu Che's face turned colder when he heard the words, and he said, "What does the empress dowager mean by this? The implication is that she doubts me. I don't know if the empress dowager has any evidence?"

The words were extremely serious, and the eldest master Liu Xun immediately got up and persuaded: "How did you say this, the old lady is just too sad, Your Majesty should forgive me."

After finishing speaking, he said to the Empress Dowager, "Your Majesty grew up beside your mother. Doesn't your mother know what kind of person your majesty is? Doesn't it hurt the relationship between you and your majesty's grandparents if you blurt out these words now?" If outsiders listen to it, it will be bad for my royal family’s reputation.”

The empress dowager reprimanded Liu Che because of Liu Wu's death, and she regretted it after she said it.But after listening to Liu Che's questioning, he became even more angry, and now listening to Liu Xing's persuasion, he is even more reluctant. "My old man treats me as a grandson, but I don't necessarily think of my old man as my grandma. I went to his throne wholeheartedly, how can I care about the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren? Didn't you see that he would push back and forth even for his uncle's funeral? I wish I could have one." Straw mats swept people away and threw them on mass graves."

When Liu Che heard this, his heart became more and more resentful.Clenched fists crunched, and his complexion turned completely black.Just when she was about to speak, Han Yan stopped her with sharp eyes and quick mouth. "The Empress Dowager calms down, Your Majesty is also thinking about the stability of the country. The state owns the state law, and the family has family rules. What kind of status and what kind of things are stipulated by the clear law. If you go beyond the rules, it will be a crime of treason and conspiracy. The eyes of the princes from all over the country, civil and military, are watching, it is really not something that His Majesty can say alone."

Seeing the empress dowager's face softening slightly, Han Yan thought over and over again in her heart, and continued: "Death cannot be brought back to life. Although the empress dowager is sad, she must think for the living. If your majesty really agrees The Empress Dowager’s suggestion, how will His Royal Highness Prince Liang and the other princes deal with themselves?”

This is a blatant threat.After hearing Han Yan's words, the Empress Dowager's expression changed drastically, and she finally understood.If Liu Che really followed the empress dowager, let alone whether the civil and military ministers could agree, the identities of the sons of King Liang would be embarrassing.At that time, people's words will be feared, let alone fame and fortune, and whether they can save their lives are two different things.

The Empress Dowager can even be sure that Liu Che will definitely kill these people without blinking an eye in order to ensure the stability of his seat.Although I can still be intimidated by myself for the time being, but I am already old, how long can I live?There are also two branches of the Dou family and the Chen family. Liu Che's position is becoming more and more stable now. If he really offends Liu Che completely, after a hundred years, will his descendants still live...

Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager became more silent.After a while, he sighed softly, and said in compromise: "I also lost my love suddenly, and I was in a daze for a while. In the past two years, Qi'er and Wu'er have gone one after another, and they all call me this white-haired How can I bear it if someone sends a black-haired person..."

As he spoke, he began to cry more and more mournfully.

Hearing the empress dowager's apology in disguise, Liu Che's expression gradually softened.Seeing the empress dowager's increasingly haggard and aging face, Liu Che sighed softly, and said, "Don't worry, grandma, Liu Wu is also my uncle, and I will definitely not wrong him. As long as you don't violate the rules, naturally We must let him leave in a clean and tidy manner in the end. All matters shall be handled by the Standing Committee of the Supreme People's Court, and it will never lose the face of the big man."

After hearing what the two parties were saying, Tai Changling let out a long breath of relief, and immediately kowtowed and said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager, I will definitely not have high expectations, and I will definitely accept the former King Liang's request." The funeral was handled properly."

This kind of big talk and empty talk is what everyone is used to hearing, and no one cares.Since she couldn't enjoy most of the scenery according to her own wishes, the Empress Dowager lost interest.After a few simple instructions, the Empress Dowager impatiently waved her hand to dismiss Tai Changling, and said to everyone in the hall: "I'm tired, you all stand down except Han Yan!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering what kind of medicine the Empress Dowager was selling in this gourd.He had no choice but to bow respectfully and retreat.Before leaving, they all looked at Han Yan with strange expressions, only Liu Che and Gillian shook their heads worriedly at Han Yan.

After everyone retreated, the Empress Dowager withdrew from the palace to serve the eunuchs, leaving only Han Yan and her.Then he took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Han Yan, saying, "Look at this first."

Han Yan took the letter with suspicious hands, glanced casually at it, but it was a suicide note written by King Liang himself. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Is this written by His Highness King Liang?"

"That's right, people hanged themselves to death, so they left such a letter." The Empress Dowager said slowly, and ordered: "Look carefully!"

Han Yan had just glanced at it in a hurry to avoid suspicion, but now that she listened to the Empress Dowager's order, she couldn't help watching carefully.Unexpectedly, the more I drove, the more frightened I became. In the end, I was sweating profusely, and I was completely speechless.

"Don't say anything else, I just felt weird when I heard Li Mama read this letter to me. I think you know the reason." Who hates Wu'er so much and refuses to let him live?"

Han Yan remained silent, not knowing what to say.It was only because in the suicide note that King Liang kept saying that after killing Emperor Jing with his own hands, he couldn't sleep all night, and finally committed suicide due to depression and shame.But at the beginning, King Liang swore in front of him that the death of Emperor Jing had nothing to do with him, and even asked him to investigate everything and return his innocence. What about the suicide note?

One thing suddenly occurred to Han Yan's mind. Is Wang Zhi trapped in a cocoon this time?

However, no matter what Han Yan thought in her heart, the Empress Dowager made it clear this time that she would not let it go.Immediately said to Han Yan in a deep voice: "I know everything Wu'er told you back then, do you think the person who killed Wu'er this time is the same person who killed Qi'er back then?"

Han Yan remained silent.

"Under the situation where my Changle Palace is so heavily guarded, it's still possible to succeed. This person is really deep in hiding!" The Empress Dowager sneered, and said grimly: "It's a pity that she still can't hold back. Well, I can catch him only when the poisonous snake comes out of its hole!"

The Empress Dowager took a deep breath, and looked at Han Yan quietly with her dark eyes, "I have already ordered Concubine Bian to be under strict surveillance. Since this person can kill Wu'er, naturally he cannot let Bian go." The concubine is alive. Only in this way can we achieve true death without proof. However, how can everything in this world be as one person wishes?"

The empress dowager rubbed the hem of the brocade dress fiercely in her hands, and said coldly: "No matter who he is, I will definitely find him and pay for my two sons!"

A gust of wind blew by, and Han Yan suddenly felt creepy.

The wind and rain have begun...
