Your majesty, please stay in the cold palace

The next day, Xu Chengze was fully dressed and went to court. In the Golden Luan Hall, except for the person on the dragon chair, nothing seemed to have changed.

Although Guo Heng was not there, the officials still kowtowed three hundred and nine times towards the dragon chair, and then lined up on both sides.

Kong Qingshu and Yan Zheng sat at the front of the ranks of civil and military officials. Kong Qingshu said: "Ministers, if you have the book, you will play it, and if you don't have the book, you will retreat."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Yan Chengcai come out and said in a clear voice, "Your official has his roots."

Kong Qingshu glanced at Xu Chengze, meaning, here we go again.Xu Chengze blinked at him, meaning let's go and see!

With Xu Chengze by his side, Kong Qingshu felt much more at ease, and said lightly, "Master Yan, please speak."

Yan Chengcai looked at Kong Qingshu coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Master Kong, yesterday all the ministers wrote a book asking for the queen to be released. I don't know what the Lord is thinking. The queen is the mother of a country, and she was imprisoned for many days for no reason. It really makes no sense!"

Kong Qingshu knew that there was no end to the Queen's business.Regardless of whether she confesses or not, as long as she is in the clan's residence, Yan Zheng and his son will not be at ease.But just like what Xu Chengze said, the current court is not what it was a few years ago.Even if the emperor is not around, Yan Zheng cannot cover the sky with one hand like before.

He didn't speak, Zhou Dai sneered and said: "Master Yan's words are ridiculous. What do you mean being imprisoned for no reason? Have you lost your memory? The emperor was poisoned, and the queen is the most suspected person. Of course, strict interrogation is required. !"

Yan Chengcai stared, "You also said it was a suspicion? But after so long, is there any result? No? I think the queen was framed by someone!"

"Being framed, do you have evidence?"

Ji Yutang also joined in the debate, "Then is there any proof that the queen poisoned her?"

"Of course there is. The evidence captured by the Emperor himself is in the Kunning Palace."

Ma Biao said: "Hehe, how many hands does it take for a pair of chopsticks to pass through, how can it be said that it was poisoned by the Queen?"

Tan Xingyun said: "Yes! Nanny Chi has already pleaded guilty, why didn't she let the queen go?"

Xu Chengze glared at him. This old guy said he was sick, so he didn't go to the household department to work. Now he is so energetic, how can he look sick?

Xu Chengze smiled lightly and said, "Isn't Mr. Tan sick? I see that you are very energetic! Now that you are cured, should you go to the household department to be on duty? Or do you think that if the emperor is not at home, you can go back to your old ways? Your majesty But there is a bill for you! If you behave like this, when the emperor comes back, how can I reply to the emperor?"

Tan Xingyun didn't expect Xu Chengze to call his name, he was startled, they are so presumptuous now, but because the emperor is not here, what if the emperor comes back?

Although Xu Ruoxu is younger than him, he represents the emperor.

He flinched and bowed his head to salute, "I was really sick two days ago, and I just got better these two days. I was afraid that I would disappoint the emperor's expectations, so I hurried to court. Don't worry, Mr. Xu. Go back to the Yamen of the Ministry of Household Affairs and do your job well

do. "

Xu Chengze nodded, "Just remember your responsibilities."

Xu Chengze's voice was not high, it seemed that he was only talking to Tan Xingyun, so why didn't he say it to the officials of Yan's party?You are just taking advantage of the absence of the emperor to dare to show your teeth and claws here. What if the emperor comes back?

Tan Xingyun was silenced by Xu Chengze's words. Some officials were not high-ranking officials, so they didn't dare to speak at this time.

Yan Chengcai's eyes swept across the hall coldly, and the expressions on everyone's faces fell into his eyes.

cut!They're all cowards!

He sneered, "Master Xu, what we are discussing now is the matter of the empress being detained, don't mess around with the topic. Since the emperor bestowed Master Xu with the Shang Fang Sword, and seeing Master Xu as if the emperor came in person, I will give you a shout for the queen today." Crying for injustice. Why do you have to keep her in custody? If you have evidence, you will show it, and if you don’t have evidence, you will release him!"

His eyes stared fiercely at Xu Chengze, as if he would not give up until he made a decision today.

Being looked at by him like this, Xu Chengze was not only not afraid, but laughed instead.

"The queen has been imprisoned for nearly two months. It's not the first day that Lord Yan knew about it. Why did you come to complain now? The queen is not only the queen of Daliang, but also the wife of the emperor. How to deal with the queen is not up to me as a subject. .”

"Then let the queen be locked up in the clan mansion? She was wronged."

"Whether you have been wronged or not is not something you and I casually talk about, but depends on whether the queen has done it. The most important thing is whether the emperor believes it. What's the use of yelling here, Mr. Yan? You don't mention it when the emperor is around." Come out, bring it up now...I'm afraid I can't be the master? After all, it's the emperor's family matter, let's wait for the emperor to come back and make a decision!"

"you!"

Yan Chengcai was speechless, "The emperor doesn't know when he will come back! What if..."

"No chance!" Kong Qingshu interrupted him sternly, "The emperor will definitely come back!

Yan Chengcai almost slipped his mouth just now, but now he can only keep silent.

He looked at Yan Zheng annoyed, but the expression on Yan Zheng's face was unclear, as calm as before.

Why doesn't father speak?Didn't you agree that you must rescue Chun'er?

When he was about to speak again, Yan Zheng coughed lightly and said, "Since Mr. Xu said so, I can only wait patiently. Our Yan family is loyal to the emperor, and I don't need to say it myself. It is fair and comfortable."

Does his father ignore his sister?

Yan Chengcai looked at Yan Zheng, he still had a lot to say!How can we admit defeat?Facing Shang Yanzheng's deep eyes, he could only calm down.

Yan Zheng and Yan Chengcai subsided, and Kong Qingshu heaved a sigh of relief.After discussing a few unimportant matters, Kong Qingshu withdrew from the court.

Song Guoan felt uneasy, he didn't understand why the emperor and Lord Xu didn't let him speak out, since the empress had already confessed.Today he can see that the empress and the clan's mansion are just a wedge for Yan Zheng to fight against Kong Qingshu and Xu Ruoxu.But he is not a wedge, he is a person!As long as the queen is still locked up in the clan mansion, Song Guoan will be a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of Yan Zheng.If the emperor doesn't come back, wouldn't he die a miserable death?

He is already the emperor's man, so he can't be a fool and go to the strict government, right?He just wanted to go back, Yan Zheng didn't want him, did he?

Just ask Mr. Xu!What should he do?Otherwise, he will always have no bottom in his heart.

So after retreating from the court, he deliberately stayed at the end and followed Xu Chengze.

He whispered: "Master Xu, the queen...although there is a confession, she would rather die than testify in court. We..."

Xu Chengze didn't expect Yan Zheng to take a step back so easily, but he didn't believe he would stop there.

"Sir Song, don't be nervous. Although the emperor is not at home, his strict administration cannot cover the sky with one hand. The most important thing now is to ensure the queen's safety, and Yan Zheng cannot let Yan Zheng know that the queen has spoken."

"say,,

疋.

Xu Chengze knew that Yan Zheng would definitely not let it go, he ordered and ordered Song Guoan, but he didn't expect that something would happen that night.It was just dawn, and Xu Chengze was fully dressed to go to court, when he heard the sound of his own door being smashed.

Xu Chengze frowned. He has lived here for so long and his neighbors are full of guards, so no one else would knock on his door.He just wanted to ask Yi Na to see who it was, and Alian brought them in.

"My lord, Mr. Song from the Clan Mansion is here."

Xu Chengze's heart skipped a beat at the time, what happened?Why did he come here so early in the morning?Could it be the queen... "Quickly ask him to come in!"

As soon as Song Guoan entered the door, he knelt down on the ground with a "thud".

"Master Xu, help me!"

Xu Chengze quickly helped him up, "What's wrong with you? Who wants your life?"

Song Guoan knelt down and couldn't get up, his face looked mournful.

"Master Xu, you must save the officer!"

Xu Chengze changed his face and took a step back, "Master Song, if you don't explain the matter clearly, how can I save you?"

"Yes, yes." Seeing Xu Chengze's face change, Song Guoan hurriedly said, "Master Xu, some villains sneaked into the clan's mansion last night and injured the queen, she, she is unconscious now!

"What! The queen is actually injured? Is the injury serious?"

"Xiaguan just took a quick look. She couldn't see anything from the outside, but she didn't wake up."

"Are you asking for a doctor?"

"As soon as the official found out that the queen was injured, he invited the imperial doctor to come, but the official did not wait for the imperial doctor to finish it, so he came to your lord.

"

〇

Xu Chengze touched his chin, thinking to himself, who would dare to hurt the queen?Do they want to play with the queen, or do they want the queen's life?If you want the queen's life, why not do it thoroughly?

He gradually calmed down, and asked in a deep voice: "Master Song, did the villain leave any clues?"

"Never."

"Is anyone injured in the clan mansion?"

"Yes. Yesterday you asked your subordinate to pay attention to the Queen's safety. The subordinate immediately sent four more guards to protect the Queen and strengthened the security of the entire clan mansion. Unexpectedly, something happened."

Song Guoan's face was pale, and he was sweating coldly.He is really scared!Fortunately, there are more people, otherwise the queen's life might be lost.Although three of the four guards died and one was seriously injured and unconscious, these were nothing compared to the queen's life.

"My lord Xu, I don't know why this kind of thing happened! If the Grand Master finds out about this, I won't be able to protect my black hat."

Now! ”

"Of course you can't let the Grand Master know."

Song Guoan quickly said: "No, the officials have already blocked the news, and no one is allowed to reveal a word..."

Before he finished speaking, Alian came in in a hurry, "Master, Lord Yan, Lord Yan..."

Before she finished speaking, the door was kicked open from the outside, and Yan Chengcai walked in aggressively.

He stood still in the room, his eyes swept across Song Guoan's face coldly, but he looked straight at Xu Chengze as if he hadn't seen him.

"My lord Xu, I heard that the queen is injured, and I want to see the queen!"
