In the blink of an eye, it was Chongyang. The case of the National Teacher had a far-reaching impact, but it did not prevent the Queen from following the example of her ancestors and inviting representatives of the elderly from all walks of life to gather in Yaoqing Palace to feast and enjoy chrysanthemums.

At sunset, the gate of Yaoqing Palace opened slowly, and the first thing to come out of the gate was Pearl.

Pearl first went to the garden to carefully confirm every detail, and then went back to the door, and let the attendants invite the elders out one by one.

The guests attending the banquet today are all national treasure-level dignitaries from all walks of life, so they need to be treated with extra caution.Not only that, but the twelve official envoys of the Imperial Secretary also gave the Queen enough face, and all of them appeared at the banquet, adding a lot of glory to the Queen's "Thousand Seniors Banquet".

After the banquet, the queen set up a tea party in her side hall, and the envoys gathered in the hall tacitly, discussing with the queen, burning incense and tasting the piano.

It wasn't until the moon was on the branch that everyone left under the personal escort of Pearl.

When Pearl came back from seeing off the guests, the queen had already rested, and the hall was silent.A small lamp was lit in the tent, and several beautiful female officials sat around the queen, giving her a massage and talking softly to her.

After Pearl came back, she asked the other female officials to go down to rest first, and sat down next to the queen herself, taking over the unfinished work in their hands.

Pearl pressed the muscles of the Queen's legs with her palm, and said softly, "Your Majesty has worked hard today."

The Queen said: "The old bastards of the Royal Registrar are used to waiting for the price, and they have a big appetite."

In addition to the doctor Zhengfeng, there are also ancestral relatives of the emperor like the virtuous king Qi Wang in the imperial court.Supporting the queen is indeed not beneficial to the Rong family, but no one can refuse the real personal interests in front of them.

The empress spent a whole night with these old foxes, and now she is a little tired. She really spent a lot of effort to win them over these days.

The Queen closed her eyes lightly, and asked Pearl: "How is that little girl named Le Zhi?"

When Le Zhi was mentioned, Pearl was overjoyed: "Le Zhi is a young child with a simple mind. The people I arranged only had contact with her a few times, and she rushed out of the palace to meet Chi Ye."

Hearing Pearl's description, the Queen also laughed out loud. It had been a long time since the palace had seen such a simple-minded person.

Pearl went on to say: "Chi Ye has successfully entered the palace to meet the Crown Prince. Judging from His Highness's performance, Chi Ye has already told him everything we want the Crown Prince to know."

According to reports from Donggong's eyeliner, the prince has often lost his mind recently, and had several disputes with his most trusted Yan Tian.

"In your opinion, if Zhong Yu is executed, can Zheng'er remain indifferent?" the Queen asked.

"Pearl dare not presumptuously guess His Highness's intentions." Pearl paused, and continued: "However, His Highness summoned Dr. Zhengfeng in the East Palace yesterday, presumably for the sake of the national teacher."

Dr. Zhengfeng is also one of the twelve envoys of the Imperial Secretary. With the efforts of the Queen, the opinions of the other eleven envoys on Zhong Yu's trial are basically clear.

But there is one of the biggest variables, and that is Doctor Zhengfeng, whose decision will greatly affect other people, and even change the outcome of the trial.

If not more than half of the officials in the Imperial Department agree with the capital punishment, then Zhong Yu's case will enter the reconsideration process and the retrial will be postponed.

It seems that Rong Zheng wanted to use Zhengfeng as a breakthrough point, instead of seeking to exonerate Zhong Yu in court, at least to buy some time.

"If Dr. Zhengfeng is really biased towards the prince, are we really going to let this opportunity go for nothing?" Zhu Zhen was a little worried about this: "Although we have made every possible plan, even if we postpone the trial of the national teacher, there is no hope, but I'm afraid that if it drags on, there will be more nights and dreams."

"Silly girl, what's so difficult about that." The queen laughed, as if she was laughing at Pearl's innocence: "Just get rid of the uncertain factors, because there are only eleven envoys left in the event of an emergency, so there is nothing you can do about it." .”

"Your Majesty is wise, leave it to me." Pearl Bingxue was smart, but she understood the deep meaning of the Queen's words in just a few words.

After talking about this matter, Pearl changed the subject and said: "In addition, the intelligence department sent news this afternoon that the East Palace has been hoarding a large amount of ammunition and weapons recently. I don't know what it intends to do."

Pearl's words are asking questions knowingly, and Rong Zheng's intentions for this move are already very obvious.The East Palace first tried its best to interfere with the trial results of the Yuzhengsi. If it is really unable to change the situation, the prince will not hesitate to use force to solve the problem.

It seems that Chi Ye's heavy punch really made Rong Zheng dizzy.

"That's right, my grandson really didn't disappoint me. This kid is good at everything, but he is too easily dragged by feelings." The queen said with emotion: "If he really did that day, it would be tantamount to treason."

After learning about the movements of the Eastern Palace, the empress prepared dozens of personal letters, asking the pearls to be sent to the government and military officials.The queen said in the secret letter that the trial of the national teacher is a big matter, and representatives from all parties must attend.

Some of the most powerful people in the entire Dasheng Dynasty will gather in Fengying Hall that day. If the crown prince takes action at that time, he will raise his troops to rebel and restore the imperial power.

The queen has already woven this big net, waiting for Rong Zheng to plunge in without hesitation.

"But there is still Yan Tian." Pearl thought of another unstable factor, the prince's interests were not his own, but related to the entire East Palace.

If Rong Zheng wanted to throw himself into the trap, the staff of the East Palace would not sit idly by.

"Yan Tian will definitely try to prevent the prince from entering the game." Pearl said.

"That's okay." The queen said: "In this way, the East Palace will definitely fall apart and disintegrate from the inside."

"One more thing." Pearl asked: "The identity of the national teacher is a secret, and only a few people know about it except the twelve envoys of the Royal Secretary. Are you not worried that he will reveal his identity in public?"

Zhong Yu's identity was revealed in secret, not to mention how much shock it would cause, it would be harmful to the royal family and the empress.

"He doesn't dare. The Marquis of Jingnan has a close relationship with the Eastern Palace. He will take care of Rong Zheng even if he doesn't care about himself. Otherwise, why would he take the initiative to sever ties with the Eastern Palace early in the morning? He just doesn't want to involve the prince." The queen smiled lightly and said: " I've said long ago that there are certain weaknesses that are fatal."

Pearl pursed her lips and laughed, her hands unabated: "Then I'm here to congratulate Your Majesty in advance."

Doctor Zhengfeng also participated in the queen's chrysanthemum banquet today. The little old man is a rigid person. In order to avoid plum blossoms in the melon field, he did not stay in Yaoqing Palace for a long time after the banquet, but left the palace directly.

As soon as the elder bid farewell to the attendants of Yaoqing Palace, he saw Yan Tian waiting on the only way out of the palace.

Seeing Doctor Zhengfeng, Yan Tian bowed down and bowed to the elder in a respectful manner, saying: "Doctor Zhengfeng, you're being polite."

The little old man stopped, feeling a little puzzled: "Master Yan? Why are you here?"

Yan Tian said with a smile: "My lord, can I take a step to speak?"

Yesterday in the East Palace, Rong Zheng had said all he had to say, and today he asked Yan Tian to come here again, I don't know why.

The little old man asked suspiciously: "Your Highness asked you to come?"

Yan Tian put down his hand, shook his head, and said, "No, it's not Your Highness, I have a request from you."

It was already late at night when the boss was successfully sent back to the mansion, Yan Tian did not go home from get off work, but entered the East Palace.

"Why are you back again?"

Rong Zheng was about to rest, he was a little surprised to see Yan Tian go and come back.Yan Tian asked for leave from get off work early today, saying that he had some personal matters to attend to.

Yan Tian didn't answer, he stood on the spot and saluted before approaching Rong Zheng without saying a word.

***

On September 25th, the day when the snake is against the dragon, and evil north, everything is inappropriate.

The inside of the White Tower was dark, and the skylight shone through the window, so it was impossible to poke in half a minute.The sound of chanting sutras could be heard intermittently from under the pagoda, presumably the Imperial Secretary had set up a dojo around the White Pagoda.

However, these little tricks had no effect on Ye Zhaoling. He put on the familiar red robe and looked at the bird-scare bells swaying in the wind on the eaves.

Time flies, today is the day of the Fengying Hall trial.

Soon, the sound of singing the promise faded away, and the heavy door opened behind Ye Zhaoling.A man in black court uniform stood outside the door and said loudly, "Zhong Yu, the time has come."

When Ye Zhaoling turned around, an iron-black mask had already been put on his face.He stood up calmly and walked towards the door.

As soon as Ye Zhaoling approached, the oppressive feeling came overwhelmingly, and the man in black involuntarily took a step back.

He stroked his sleeves, raised his eyes to look at the person coming, and calmly said: "Lead the way."

The sunlight outside the tower was dazzling, and Ye Zhaoling narrowed his eyes in discomfort.As soon as he stepped out of the white tower, an old man with a white beard jumped out from the side.

The old Taoist priest held a mahogany sword in one hand and twisted a half-burned yellow talisman in the other. As if possessed by a wild ghost, he jumped up and down in front of Ye Zhaoling and danced endlessly, chanting words.

Ye Zhaoling looked around, and found that the scale of this ceremony was really not small, and the yellow talisman of chicken blood and rice grains was scattered in the air indiscriminately, and the atmosphere of exorcising evil and punishing evil was rendered in place.

I heard that if a person wears red clothes when he dies, he will turn into a ghost after death, with the most evil spirit, so this arrangement by the Royal Secretary can be regarded as a precautionary measure.It's just that Ye Zhaoling didn't know if a person like himself, who seemed human but not human, would have the chance to become a ghost after death.

At this point in the process, the old man with white beard should sprinkle the ashes of the burnt talisman on Ye Zhaoling's body to complete the performance.But as soon as he met the eyes of the national teacher, he felt a chill hit Tianling, and he couldn't move.

Fortunately, the old man was quick to see the situation. He turned his feet and rolled to the side without letting anyone see his flaws.

A week ago, the imperial family raised the defense of the Li Palace to the highest level, and the entire area entered a state of emergency.Zhong Yu's trial this time was conducted in secret and was not disclosed to the public, but a series of measures released by the royal family still caused a small discussion on the Internet.

The White Pagoda is not far from Fengying Hall, and there is a special duty point every three steps on the only way that the National Teacher must pass.Today's mission was extraordinary, the special agents stared intently at the direction of the national teacher's arrival, and his real-time movement was broadcast in the earphones.I'm afraid that in the blink of an eye, the national teacher will disappear under my nose.

In such a tense atmosphere, three young people in the secret service team seemed particularly absent-minded, and this abnormality quickly attracted the attention of the sub-team leader.

"You three, stop." The team leader stepped forward and stopped the two men and one woman in front of him: "Which palace are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?"

When Chi Ye, Li Qiuqiu, and Lin Lan heard the voice, they looked at each other and stopped in unison.

They wore uniform black uniforms, wireless headphones on their ears, and tactical equipment on their waists. At first glance, they were no different from other special agents around them.

"Hi Captain." Chi Ye turned around and took out his ID.Seeing this, Li Qiu and Lin Lan followed Chi Ye and took out their work permits from their coats.

"We are from the Princess Mansion." Chi Ye said.

"Princess's Mansion?" The team leader took a look at the certificate suspiciously, and said, "Princess Anyang is visiting overseas recently, and she didn't come to Li Palace today. What are you doing here?"

Chi Ye patiently explained: "The princess is out on official business, and we were seconded to assist. Isn't it too busy?"

Li Qiu asked in a timely manner: "Captain, over there..." She pointed to the direction of the White Tower with a mysterious face, and continued: "What happened?"

The team leader gave her a blank look, and said, "Don't inquire about things you shouldn't know."

The team leader is a very strict person, Chi Ye's few words can't dispel his suspicion.He first called the Princess Mansion to verify the matter, then carefully checked the IDs of Chi Ye and the others, and questioned the three of them from beginning to end, before finally allowing them to leave.

The team leader patted Chi Ye's shoulder apologetically, and said, "I'm sorry brother, it was a misunderstanding."

Chi Ye smiled and said, "Where, in special times, you should be more cautious."

After the team leader left, Chi Ye and the three finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before he breathed a sigh of relief, a broadcast came from the earphones, and the team escorting the national division was about to arrive at the duty point of the three of them.

As soon as Li Qiuqiu heard the news, he immediately became excited: "Then what are we waiting for, save Eldest Brother out immediately!"

"Don't be impulsive." Lin Lan pushed Li Qiu down: "How do you plan to save him in this situation?"

Li Qiuqiu was questioned by Lin Lan. She knew that there was nothing she could do with the three of them, but she couldn't help but watch the elder brother walk into Fengying Hall.

Before coming, Chi Ye had already revealed Ye Zhaoling's secrets.Li Qiu and Lin Lan were very surprised at the beginning, but they quickly accepted the fact.

In Li Qiuqiu's view, no matter who Ye Zhaoling is, he is the elder brother who brought her up single-handedly.

Chi Ye saw that Li Qiuqiu was a little frustrated, and comforted him: "Princess Anyang asked us to come here to meet him, there must be follow-up arrangements. Let's wait and see what happens, and don't do unnecessary things."

"What does the prince say?" Li Qiu asked.

Chi Ye shook his head, but did not answer.

The gate of the East Palace has been closed recently, and no one is allowed to enter or exit.It seemed that as long as the scarlet door was closed, everything that happened in Li Palace had nothing to do with them.

The author says:

Xiaoye, Crown Prince, Empress, Princess, Yan Tian, ​​Doctor Zhengfeng, and Chi Ye are three siblings.

This large group of people was finally arranged. (T﹏T)

Thank you for your patience, bow~
