Chong Yu looked back coldly, "It has nothing to do with you!"
The person behind him responded in a low voice and then quietly hid away.
Chong Yu knew better than anyone what would happen in the house. The longer they stayed in the palace, the more dirty things they saw.
In the end, those inhumane eunuchs all came from men. In the vast palace, it was either a man or a woman. The only thing left were these men and women. And it was precisely because they were neither male nor female that the desires in their hearts were distorted with jealousy. The palace maids were too fragile and sometimes were not fun to play with, and they were not as interesting as those catamites or youths.
And Zhao Yuannan's previous identity as Prince Su's Mansion's heir had made him a very strange existence. Perhaps it was due to the conquest in the man's heart, or the fact that Zhao Yuannan had been raised like a prince all year round. Although he was a man, his skin was actually tender and tender, and he was more beautiful and delicate than the crude maidservants in the palace.
It was a magnificent night. Before dawn, Zhao Yuannan came out from his room looking tired. He looked back at Fu Shengquan, who had already sat up on the bed, and slightly bowed to show his respect. The tea was already prepared on the table. This was something that he had to do every day before he left, so he made a good cup for Fu Shengquan. These days, Fu Shengquan had gotten used to Zhao Yuannan's service.
Chong Yu was waiting outside the door of the infirmary. When he saw Zhao Yuannan come out, he respectfully bowed to him. The two of them walked toward the imperial study room one after the other without saying a word. It was as if what had happened last night had been nothing more than a dream.
When they arrived at the entrance of the royal study, Zhao Yuannan stopped and turned around to look at Chong Yu while holding the horsetail whisk tightly in his hand. On Chong Yu's face was still the five finger marks he left behind last night. Although they had faded quite a bit, they were still rather eye-catching. Zhao Yuannan took a deep breath, "Your face is injured, so you are not suitable to serve in front of the imperial palace. You don't have to follow me for the next two days!"
"Eunuch!" Chong Yu was aghast, he immediately covered his swollen face with his hands, "This servant knows my wrongs, please let this servant follow you!" Otherwise, this humble servant will not have any chance of survival! "
"It's not that serious. It's just that it's inconvenient for you to serve the imperial court for the next few days. Just wait until the injury on your face recovers before coming back!" Zhao Yuannan walked away.
Chong Yu fell to his knees, "Eunuch, if this servant cannot serve you, then I will have to pass this information to the inner court servant …" Eunuch Fu had killed this servant. This servant knows that I was wrong. I plead for eunuch to let me off the hook. This servant will never mention last night's matter again. I plead for eunuch to be magnanimous! "Eunuch You!"
However, Zhao Yuannan did not believe it, "You are wounded, and serving the emperor is still a capital offense, so what's the big deal if I let you take care of him? You make it sound like I want to send you to your death! To not know what's good for you even though I saved your life, you really are wasting my breath! " With that, Zhao Yuannan entered the palace gate without looking back, ignoring Chong Yu behind him.
Zhao Jing had only slept lightly the night before and had only slept for a short while. She had woken up before dawn and was currently sitting in front of the window, playing with her chess piece. She quietly stood by herself, her hands interlacing. The faint yellow light made her facial features especially soft, as if they were faintly coated in a layer of gold. She gripped the chess piece tightly with her pure white fingertips. Her two extremely good-looking, sword-like eyebrows were slightly raised. Her long eyelashes drooped down, and the light in her eyes dimmed.
No wonder people said that a person's earnest appearance was the most pleasing to the eye. Zhao Jing seemed to be deep in thought. His handsome appearance carried an indescribable mysteriousness. It was truly an excellent look.
Zhao Yuannan was fascinated by it!
Wei Shuge was waiting by Zhao Jing's side. Zhao Yuannan stood blankly at the door. He immediately lowered his footsteps and walked over. "Why are you standing at the door?" The emperor woke up early in the morning. He hasn't called for dinner yet, so he's probably unhappy. " Both of them knew in their hearts that Zhao Jing was reciting about the matters of the literary world and that today was the day of the Imperial Examinations. Thus, it was normal for Zhao Jing to be uneasy.
"Nothing." Zhao Yuannan withdrew his gaze and carefully closed the door. "Your Majesty must have something on your mind. I'll go ask for more news in the morning." It was unknown whether or not the case had been brought to the Six Division's yamen. It would have been fine if it had been brought up, but if it had not been brought up … They had to be delivered before the Autumn Test! Otherwise, once the Autumn test is over and everyone gets busy, this case will definitely be pushed down. "
Wei Shuge nodded. "You've already prepared the Sacrifice of the Heavens after the Autumn Examination!"
"Don't worry." Zhao Yuannan lifted up the kettle on the stove. Wei Shuge took out the lotus core she had personally picked two days ago and handed it to him.
Zhao Yuannan continued, "Time is short, so I spent a lot of effort on the inner palace. Fortunately, everything went according to our plan. When the Hall Competition is over, the date of that person's death will be after the selection of the official! " As he said this, Zhao Yuannan raised his head to look at Zhao Jing, who was wholeheartedly throwing himself onto the chessboard. "I will do everything I can to fulfill the emperor's orders."
Wei Shuge let out a long breath as she watched Zhao Yuanan carry the brewed tea towards Zhao Jing.
"Your majesty, let's rest for a bit!" Zhao Yuannan put down his cup and reached for the cup by Zhao Jing's side. "This cup of tea has gone cold. This servant has changed a cup for you!" Shuge said, you didn't sleep much last night, why don't you go for a nap now? "The servants are all watching, nothing will happen in the previous dynasty."
Zhao Jing put down the chess piece in his hand and rubbed his forehead tiredly. "It's an Autumn Examination today, how can I sleep?" Since the beginning of his enthronement, all the power was in the hands of his subjects. In the end, he was just a puppet. The Autumn Competition is a good opportunity for us to get back at them. We will take back what we left behind in the hands of others little by little! Success or failure, we will have to wait another three years! "
The Qi Clan and the Regent's Estate were one and the same. Their influence and ambition would grow with each passing day. Therefore, they couldn't tolerate Zhao Jing growing up by even a little bit. Quick knife slicing through the chaotic situation was the best method, but it was also the most dangerous!
"But the Emperor has to look after his own body!" Zhao Yuannan consoled him in a low voice, "That servant from the Ministry of Justice has already taken note of everything. Your servant will keep an eye on everything that the emperor has instructed you to do. Your majesty, please be at ease!"
Of course I am at ease with your work!" Zhao Jing sighed. "If that's the case, then I'll go and take a nap." "If any of you need to hide anything from me, you must wake me up!"
"Alright!" Wei Shuge and Zhao Yuannan said in unison.
Zhao Jing slept very tiredly and was in a daze. Sometimes he would dream of the Four Ming Mountain, sometimes he would think of his master and grandmaster, and sometimes he would think of the promises he had made when he was young. Elder Brother Yue, Ah Jing misses you … I really want to …
Wei Shuge had been standing by Zhao Jing's side the entire time. When she saw Zhao Jing frown even in her sleep, she couldn't help but feel a bit of heartache.
In fact, the file was in Cobb's possession by noon.
Cobb sat in the warm room of the Six Departments, staring at the scroll in his palm for a long time. Then he looked up at Fuzi with a slight frown on his face. "Is the science written here for the wind?"
"Yes!" Fuzi bowed. "At the time of the incident, Full Moon Restaurant happened to be in charge of the poetry contest, so the Jing Zhao Prefecture suppressed it so as not to disturb the hearts of the examinees. The coroner, who examined the body, said that he had committed suicide in accordance with his characteristics. He will be checking the background of this Wen Yufeng and will probably have to wait until after the Hall Exams are over before he can ask Wen Yufeng's family to bring his body back! "
Cobb placed the file on the desk and took a sip of tea from his cup. "Now that it's in my hands, how easy can this case be?"
Fuzi was stunned. "What do you mean by that, master?" "This scroll was submitted by the Ministry of Justice. It really did commit suicide, so …"
"Since it's suicide, the Board of Justice can just close the case. Why are you still sending the case to me?" "Or someone did it deliberately. He wanted to take advantage of this autumn's trial to make a big deal out of it and then use it as an excuse to plot against you." At this point, Cobalt narrowed his dangerous eyes, "Or …"
"Or what?" Fuzi did not understand.
"This case involves someone else. The Board of Justice doesn't dare to make the decision on their own, which is why they sent it to me." The Ministry of Justice was in charge of all the prisons in the world. So what if the nobles had committed crimes? The Son of Heaven had committed the same crime as the commoners. This was the simplest of reasons. However, it's easy to say, but it's not that easy to do it! "
Fuzi was astounded. "Could it be that someone from the Ministry of Justice does not dare to deal with this case?" Isn't it just simply suicide? " Fuzi's face was slightly unwell. "I examined his body and didn't find out that he was killed!"
"If I wanted to kill someone, do you think people would find out that I was the one who killed them?" Cobb asked.
Fuzi lowered his eyes. "The prime minister has great authority. If he wants to kill someone, it's just a matter of words. There's no need to do it yourself."
"Isn't that the end?" "Moreover, there's someone behind Wen Yufeng. If he had the ability, he would send a case file to the Ministry of Justice. If the Ministry of Justice doesn't dare to close the case, they would be sent directly to me. He's not an ordinary person!"
This made Ke Er think of Zhao Jing, who had been running away for a long time. The news from the Prime Minister's Estate wasn't any slower than the Residence of Regent. Thus, when Zhao Jing went out to live in the Full Moon Residence, Ke Bo Ling knew about it as well. However, the Residence of Regent did not utter a single word, nor did anything serious happen to the Emperor. Now that something had happened to Full Moon Restaurant, Zhao Jing was living in it …
Kobold rubbed his forehead. 80% of it was caused by the little Emperor! The young man who was hiding in the city was not simple at all! If it was an ordinary case, it would not have bothered to bring it to him. There must be some unknown secret behind it. Or perhaps there was a reason behind this case that even the Regent's Estate did not dare to take over.
The only thing that could cause the East to feel fear was definitely not the Supreme Fu Mansion. The only thing that could cause fear was …
Kobold's body stiffened slightly, and his voice became low and hoarse. "He can't be..." You must have messed with Phoenix City? "
"What did I say?" This servant didn't hear it clearly. " Fuzi didn't quite understand.
"It's nothing. I just hope it's just my guess. It's best not to provoke the King of Hell, or else …" "Even I, as the prime minister of the imperial court, might not be able to handle it."
Fuzi's eyes widened. "Then, what should we do?"
With his hands behind his back, Cobb started to walk out, "This kid has a hand in chasing the ducks. We can't just sit and wait for death!"
"Master, where are you going?" Fuzi hurried to keep up.
Cobb grunted, "Go play chess!"
Fuzi scratched his head in puzzlement. What the hell was going on? Was the prime minister still thinking of going to play chess?
