"What else did the father and son of the Qiu Family do?" Xiao Ruyue asked, puzzled.
Yuwen He did not tell her too much about this matter. Because she was pregnant, Yuwen He did not want her to participate in it too much.
As an official who had been on leave for a long time and had not been directly involved in the case, it was normal for him to not know the details of the case.
As such, her question was very appropriate. There was nothing wrong with it.
Cui Jingxuan then explained, "The father and son surnamed Qiu is the military's president and the son of the military's minister. After passing through some of the weapons and iron weapons, he secretly sold them to Tatar. He also bought some inferior weapons there at a low price, and sold them to the military at a high price for a windfall. "
After Xiao Ruyue finished listening, she could only wish to see the face of the father and son of the Qiu Family get slapped.
As the Minister of War and the Minister of War, the father and son duo had actually done such a thing. Didn't the Autumn Beauty also poisoned Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie and framed her for this?
The same thing happened to all three generations. It was enough to show that the Qiu Family was not a good person.
A small marten.
Unforgivable.
The garrison had infiltrated the Tatar spies, arranged by the father and son of the Qiu Family. Meanwhile, Old Man Qiu had only done this much for the kindness of the Patrol Guard Battalion Commander Cai Quan. If he really wanted to do something in the army, the consequences would be unthinkable.
Therefore, one could imagine just how angry Yuwen He was at this moment.
Xiao Ruyue looked at Yuwen He's profile. She originally wanted to pat his shoulder, but with Tao Jinghong and Cui Jingxuan, the two of them standing there, if she really patted Yuwen He's shoulder, it would cause people to have a bad impression of him, so she could only give up.
Yuwen He pondered for a moment, but was in no hurry to return to the palace, so he instructed for the Ministry of Justice.
Tao Jinghong and Cui Jingxuan were both civil servants, so they sat in sedans, while Yuwen He had just arrived and was riding on a horse carriage. Now that they were rushing to the Ministry of Justice, Yuwen He let both Tao Jinghong and Cui Jingxuan sit on the carriage.
When they were getting on the carriage, Yuwen He very naturally pulled Xiao Ruyue. Seeing them interacting with each other, Cui Jingxuan could not help but have a strange thought in his mind, but he quickly suppressed it.
When they arrived at the Board of Justice, the three main trial figures of the Three Divisions were all gathered together. Zou Kai, the president of the Board of Justice, and the highly respected Censor Qian, as well as Tao Jinghong, as well as an official of the Board of Justice, reported on the progress of this case one by one.
Censor Qian was not young, with white hair and beard, but he was full of energy.
Xiao Ruyue sat at the side, looking especially like an outsider who had gone into a mess. However, she came here with the Sovereign, and no one felt that it was wrong for her to sit at the side. She would say a few words occasionally, and Mr. Zou would even praise her repeatedly, thinking that her future was limitless.
Taking advantage of the time when San Si was explaining the details of the case, Yuwen He wrote a personal letter to summon Chong Yang, and had him bring a reliable person who was familiar with the habits of the Tatar people to the two generals stationed near the capital. This matter was extremely urgent.
It was obviously already burning hot as Xiao Ruyue grinded some paper at the side. But he saw that his words were short and concise, and her brush was calm. When he instructed Chong Yang, there wasn't even the slightest hint of anxiety on his face.
How big was this man's heart?
When the sun was about to set, Zou Shang Shu Zou Kai, Censor Qian, Tao Jinghong and the others were still talking passionately. When he finished, he started discussing about the main culprit, all of them asking for suggestions, about what kind of method they should use to uncover the main culprit, Wei Wang Yuwen Chenglian.
After all, the Ministry of Justice was an old man, and was well versed in the prisoner's methods of concealment.
Especially Cui Jingxuan, Xiao Ruyue had seen him several times, and it was the first time that he admired someone to such an extent. Looking at his appearance, he truly wished to acknowledge Lord Zou as his master and obtain the sutra day and night.
However, Yuwen He was not happy because of the words of the Board of Justice's Zou Shang Shu, his brows had been knitted tightly from start to finish.
Night fell. The sky was pitch black.
The sky was full of stars, and the night breeze that blew over was cold. As the wind blew, the summer heat of the day vanished.
Three quarters of an hour had passed since he had left the palace, and it was already late in the night. The time for the gate to be locked had long since passed. The time for dinner had passed.
Everyone had been busy the whole day, and their stomachs were already rumbling with hunger. Especially for a special person like Xiao Ruyue, who was pregnant.
It was already too late to rush back to the palace, Master Zou was anxiously waiting for the king to serve dinner, but did not dare speak out, so Yuwen He asked the Zou Shang Shu to prepare a few dishes, he wanted to stay and eat, instead of rushing back to the palace.
Zou Kai was flattered. "This humble subject will go and prepare." The dishes of the Taibai Lou or the Spring Peace City are all too delicious … "Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Imperial Physician Qian." Zou Shang Shu, His Majesty has been too used to eating big fish and big meat in the palace. I heard that your esteemed wife cooked a good meal. "
Xiao Ruyue was looking through the documents to distract the attention, but because of Imperial Physician Qian's words, she looked over. Hearing Censor Qian's words, it did not seem like he was a courtier that would treat his highness like he was supposed to.
Yuwen He looked at Xiao Ruyue who was beside her, as if he understood the doubt in her eyes, but he did not reply, he only nodded his head to show kindness.
Zou Kai was stunned for a moment before instructing the Grand Master to invite the Madam over to cook and prepare a few dishes. Although the food was ordinary, it was very normal. Xiao Ruyue ate with relish, and only heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the color of the food suited her appetite.
After the dishes were served, Yuwen He invited Madam Zou to the table as well.
Madam Zou looked like a lady who came from a scholarly background. Her actions were graceful and elegant, and she cooked a good meal. She was also very beautiful and neat. But in the end, he was still somewhat restrained before the monarch.
This was the second time Cui Jingxuan had eaten at the same table as His Majesty. The last time was during the Qiulin Meet, which was a long distance away.
On the table, the most relaxed were Guardian Qian and Xiao Ruyue. Xiao Ruyue was not affected by Yuwen He's identity and opened his mouth wide to eat. Imperial Physician Qian was also very carefree. He thought that the juniors would be able to eat together with him, neither servile nor overbearing.
With regards to this, Xiao Ruyue and Qian Shishi had a whole new level of respect for each other.
Zou Shang Shu was sweating profusely on behalf of this young man. He was so carefree in front of His Majesty, he didn't know if this was a good thing or not.
All in all, the dinner was a very enjoyable meal.
After eating, Xiao Ruyue's eyelids grew heavier and heavier. She almost wanted to fall asleep when she sat there, but when she accidentally closed her eyelids, she suddenly became alert. The scroll in her hand dropped to the ground, and she immediately bent down to pick it up.
Cui Jingxuan frowned, and disagreed: "Situ, you're already so delicate at such a young age, and Your Majesty didn't seem to be tired from calling out your name either, but you've dozed off instead."
After an afternoon of interaction, Cui Jingxuan had a whole new level of respect for this fellow on the same ranking who came from a young family.
Xiao Ruyue laughed bitterly, she wanted to explain that she had always been drowsy due to having the [Sixth] s. She had been running around for a whole day already, it was normal for her to fall asleep. In the Palace of the Invitation Phoenix, she slept for half a day.
But she could not explain these words. She was now the water department's Minister Situ Wu, not the master of the Da Xia palace.
Thinking of this, she quickly gouged out a knife from Yuwen He's eyes.
Cui Jingxuan shook his head and returned the scroll back to its original place.
Yuwen He was talking to Imperial Physician Qian and the Zou Shang Shu, but upon hearing Cui Jingxuan's words, he stopped and turned around.
When Cui Jingxuan was suddenly stared at by His Majesty in this way, his scalp went numb.
Yuwen He's gaze quickly swept across Cui Jingxuan's face. Censor Qian was still talking beside his ear, and seeing that Xiao Ruyue's expression was growing more and more exhausted, he suddenly stood up and interrupted Zou Shang Shu halfway through his words.
The Zou Shang Shu was shocked, but then he heard from Yuwen He, "The rest of the matters will be presented to the Emperor Hall tomorrow, we will discuss about it later."
Zou Shang Shu looked panicked, "Did I do something wrong?"
"There's no need to think too much about it." The rest can be written down in a paper clip. " With that, he brought Xiao Ruyue and left.
Xiao Ruyue was about to doze off again.
Imperial Physician Qian watched the two figures leave, and when he thought of His Majesty's attitude towards that youth, he revealed an indescribable smile.
He patted Zou Shang Shu's shoulder, "It's not your fault." His Majesty had other plans.
Once she got on the horse carriage, Xiao Ruyue's tight string loosened. She leaned on Yuwen He weakly, and her eyelids started to droop.
Yuwen He sighed, "I have caused you trouble today. "Tomorrow you can stay in the palace. I was inconsiderate enough to take you everywhere." Before he could finish his sentence, he looked down and saw that the person in his arms was already fast asleep.
He was truly exhausted.
Yuwen He lightly kissed Xiao Ruyue's forehead. With a moan, Xiao Ruyue found a comfortable position in his embrace and fell into a deep sleep.
Yuwen He secretly laughed, but his heart ached at the same time.
The carriage reached the entrance of the palace, and Chong Yang, who was driving, revealed his order badge and opened the doors of the palace, returning without any obstructions.
Yuwen He specifically told everyone to not make any noise in order to not disturb the Empress's sleep. When getting out of the car, Yuwen He was exceptionally careful as he carried her out.
The night gradually turned darker.
Xiao Ruyue was still in her dreams, but she seemed to know that she had returned to a familiar big bed. She opened up her mouth wide, and after a while, she turned around and continued to sleep.
Yuwen He was tickled so much by her sleeping posture that he started to laugh.
There was a world of difference between her and him.
Yuwen He sat on the side of the bed and watched, unwilling to shift his gaze away.
"Yuwen He, hungry," the sleeping Xiao Ruyue whined, smacked her lips, and even swallowed her saliva. Somehow, she grabbed onto Yuwen He's arm, gritting her teeth as she bit on it.
"Be good, you can't eat this with your hands. If you want to eat, wait until you wake up. I'll give you everything you want to eat." Yuwen He consoled.
Xiao Ruyue seemed to have heard it, as she smacked her lips and quieted down.
Yuwen He's eyes were filled with gentleness, the smile on his face was so warm that it could melt ice.
Just then, Yin Lin walked in from the outside. Her footsteps were light, but her expression was not good, and she spoke in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Miss Liangqiu and Tang Divine Doctor have returned."
