The capital city was filled with soldiers who were as fierce as wolves or tigers. Even the mansions of the ministers had been investigated.
He was like a tiger or a wolf in the first place. With the king's order, he became even more unscrupulous.
With a gloomy face, Duan Liu continued to read the reports that he had collected from all directions.
For three consecutive days, the prisons in the capital were packed with people, some of them not enough.
After three days, only people were allowed to enter and not leave. If anyone wanted to leave, they would have to undergo a strict examination before being allowed out.
In these three days, he finally had an idea.
Bing Lanyue stayed in the palace for three days under the protection of and the others Euphorbia Salicifolia Maxim.
Because when Ye Lang sent the news over, the Upper Forest Garden had found a clue.
"Lin Lin, take charge of the New Army's logistics." Ye Lang stared coldly at the bound people.
Lin Lin? Lin Clan? Bing Lanyue became a little interested and sat in the center. "Speak, where did the Sky Tremor Bomb that was missing from the account go?"
The ones in charge of the logistics have all accounts. Ye Lang snatched the account book first and almost caused an uproar in the New Army.
After Ye Lang's meticulous investigation, he had his men register all the Sky Tremor Bomb in the New Army and only then did he realize that there was something fishy about it.
One of the Sky Tremor Bomb disappeared.
Lin Lin said with a sullen face: "Imperial Concubine Bing, this matter has nothing to do with me."
Bing Lanyue asked coldly: "Then who is it related to?"
Lin Lin lowered his eyes, unwilling to speak.
"Pull him out and start the execution!" Bing Lanyue turned her face away.
When the power of life and death was in her hands, Bing Lanyue had never wanted to use such an extreme method to obtain evidence.
Lin Lin shouted, "Your Highness, please spare my life. Your Highness, please spare my life, I really don't know."
Bing Lanyue closed her eyes and waved her hand. Ye Lang immediately ordered two of her subordinates to bring Lin Lin out from the hall.
Not long after, cries of agony could be heard from a distance. All of the generals in the hall were silent.
"The New Army was personally established by me, and it doesn't matter what sort of background you have, or what kind of background you have, once you get here, you will listen to me, and if anyone dares to take advantage of me, Lin Lin will be your ending!" Bing Lanyue's cold tone made everyone feel a chill in their hearts.
A ginseng general in chainmail stepped forward and said, "Imperial Concubine, please calm your anger. General Lin is your uncle. Please, on behalf of Sir Lin, spare him."
Uncle? Bing Lanyue scoffed, this Lin Lin was really related to the Ministry Lin.
"The prince is guilty of the same crime as the people, otherwise what else would the law be used for? Ye Lang, today, you must investigate exactly where that Sky Tremor Bomb went. " Bing Lanyue said as she gnashed her teeth.
What uncle, is he just a brother of the Madam Lin? Even if his half-brother Bing Wen was able to do it, he didn't know where his uncle came from, so what if he died?
After a long while, the wailing sounds outside slowly grew weaker. Ye Lang walked in filled with the smell of blood and said: "Reporting to the Empress, the interrogation has been completed. Lin Lin has confessed and was given to the Young Master Xu of the Inner Palace. He said that following the orders of His Majesty, he wanted a Sky Tremor Bomb to study the method of making it. "
Bing Lanyue hesitated for a moment and all the soldiers present looked at him with a strange expression, as if they were all ridiculing him.
The mocking glances she shot at him made her want to be strong.
"Catch!" Bing Lanyue stood up and said: "Ye Lang, bring your men and enter the palace. Also, bring that Lin Lin along!"
With that, everyone was startled, even Ye Lang was no exception, and led his troops into the palace? These acts are no different from conspiracies.
"Empress, think twice." Ye Lang half knelt on the ground and said, "This subject can follow the Empress and investigate, but bring troops with me to the palace …"
"Ye Lang! Have you stayed in the Ministry Of War for too long … " Bing Lanyue looked at Ye Lang, and his whole body shivered.
"Yes!" This subordinate will gather the troops right away! " Ye Lang did not say a word, and personally beat up the soldiers.
Bing Lanyue knew that there must be a legendary Dragon-guarding Race in the New Army, so she did not plan to keep it a secret.
Just as Bing Lanyue had expected, just as she left the Upper Forest Garden, a white pigeon appeared above her head and flew towards the imperial palace.
Through the window, Bing Lanyue saw that Ye Lang was also looking at the carrier pigeon flying further and further away, and his face was extremely ugly.
Not long after, Xuanyuan Jin received the news, he muttered to himself for a moment, and instructed Xu Jing: "Go and pass down the order, if Imperial Concubine Bing returns to the palace, you are not allowed to stop her, even if she brings along New Army."
Xu Jing was startled, and immediately bowed and retreated.
To bring troops back to the palace? Imperial Concubine Bing led troops back to the palace? Xu Jing swallowed his saliva.
Xuanyuan Jin glanced at the slip of paper, gripped it tightly in his hand, and then left for the Peace Palace.
Within the palace, the empress dowager had her eyes closed as she continuously twirled the prayer beads in her hands. When she heard a voice coming from outside the door, her eyes flew open, sweeping away her previous peaceful air.
"Muhou, did you make it?" Xuanyuan Jin's face was in pain.
The empress dowager gave a faint smile. "So what? "So what if it isn't?"
Xuanyuan Jin took half a step back in disbelief, and said, "Muhou, what are you doing?"
The empress dowager looked around her and said, "Emperor, it was you who said that the imperial harem should not interfere in politics. Do you think that mother will be able to harm her grandson?"
Xuanyuan Jin heaved a sigh of relief.
If it was really done by the empress dowager, then he really couldn't make a choice. When he thought about how Bing Lanyue would lose her child and cry soundlessly one night, he felt a pang in his heart.
"Your illness can only be curbed. The royal family really needs a new bloodline. Even if This Dowager was prepared for it, This Dowager would not do it." The empress dowager's heart ached as she looked at Xuanyuan Jin, "Let her investigate it herself. This one knows a little about the internal affairs office and Eunuch Xu. He is Imperial Concubine Yun's trusted aide."
"Really?" Xuanyuan Jin asked.
The empress dowager glared at Xuanyuan Jin in disappointment, "If that's not true, can't you take it for real? I have told you many times, when cutting the grass, you have to remove the roots, leaving the Bing Family only with Bing Ling, it's fine if you love her deeply, but why is Yun Yun that girl still here? "
Xuanyuan Jin asked curiously: "Don't the Bing Family still have Matriarch and Ice Martial Arts? "Why …"
"Bing Wu died, it was This Dowager's fault. It was a pity that Madam Lin ran away." The empress dowager sighed and said, "Yun Yun must not stay, especially with Prince Yi's wangfei. She's even gone to the feudal fiefdom now. After you leave, will your son be able to subdue it? "
Xuanyuan Jin slightly nodded: "Yes, your son understands. I will make use of this opportunity to get rid of Yun Yun and also take the opportunity to imprison the Prince Yi in the clan residence."
The empress dowager smiled and nodded her head. She stood up and Xuanyuan Jin quickly went forward to support her. The two of them walked to the entrance of Ci Ning Palace and looked at the extraordinary palace.
When Xuanyuan Jin and the empress dowager was standing at the entrance of the Palace, she had already entered through the north gate of the imperial city with her soldiers and horses.
If it weren't for the fact that the imperial guards had received the news in advance and had seen the murderous look on the troops' faces, they probably would have released their arrows long ago.
Ye Lang saw that the imperial guards did not take action, but rather, opened the gates wide and allowed the troops to enter as they pleased, allowing him to finally heave a sigh of relief.
After passing through the Imperial City and the Inner Palace, the Euphorbia Salicifolia Maxim at the entrance of the Inner Palace wouldn't be so easy to speak to.
"Empress, His Majesty has decreed that if Empress wants to capture people, all she needs to do is to bring a few people in. The rest of the New Army's people need to wait outside the inner palace." The soldier who stopped them felt his legs tremble.
Within the Imperial Palace, who didn't know what the Imperial Concubine Bing would do in her fury after losing their son?
"Alright!" Bing Lanyue decisively said, "Ye Lang, go and capture Eunuch Xu from the Inner Palace with this person! I'll wait here. "
Ye Lang cupped his hands, glared at the man and said: "Let's go!"
Bing Lanyue sat on the carriage, and with the support of Meng Xia, she got off the carriage, walked to the blood-stained Lin Lin's side and said: "I heard that you're my uncle, haha, as long as what you say is true, I'll spare your life."
Lin Lin's hands were tied behind his back, he could not even stand steadily, and stars were shining in his eyes. Hearing Bing Lanyue's words, she immediately became clear-headed.
"It's true, Empress. What I've said is true. Eunuch Xu has come with an imperial edict." Lin Lin knelt on the ground, on top of his head.
"I'm easy to talk to." Bing Lanyue took out a plain blade from a soldier's waist, and waited.
After about half an hour, Ye Lang walked out with a man that looked like an elder.
"Esteemed Empress, this person is Eunuch Xu. When this subordinate found him, he was preparing to run away and intended to take the poison." Ye Lang kicked the person's leg.
"Eunuch Xu." Bing Lanyue squinted her eyes, raised her blade and asked: "Can you tell me where that Sky Tremor Bomb went?"
Eunuch Xu was in a very sorry state. His clothes were torn, and under the murderous eyes of thousands of people, he was also trembling in fear, but he still stubbornly said with a face, "This servant doesn't know what the Empress is saying. If he wants to kill me, it's only a matter of words.
Bing Lanyue indicated and Ye Lang immediately dragged Lin Lin who was still lying on top of his head over, and said: "Do you know him?"
Lin Lin shouted, "Empress, it's him. He was the one who came to the Upper Forest Garden a while ago, and said that he was ordered by His Majesty to take away the Sky Tremor Bomb."
Eunuch Xu's expression changed drastically as he gritted his teeth and said, "Bastard!"
Bing Lanyue bellowed: Seems like you have some backbone! Ye Lang! It's up to you! We must interrogate the mastermind! "
Ye Lang grabbed Eunuch Xu, called for the two of them and started to perform an interrogation outside the Inner Palace.
Bing Lanyue was standing not far from them, holding onto the plain blade in her hand, she looked at Lin Lin who had a pleading expression and said: "You can leave now. I mean it. "
"Many thanks to the Empress, many thanks to the Empress." Lin Lin smiled obsequiously: "Thank you, esteemed lady, for your mercy."
Bing Lanyue didn't want to look at Lin Lin's face anymore. She turned his face away, touched her stomach, and said: "Scram!"
Lin Lin crawled up with struggling, his hands still tied behind his back, and said: "Empress, I heard that the relationship between the eunuch and Imperial Concubine Yun was extremely good.
Imperial Concubine Yun? Imperial Concubine Yun is dead! Bing Lanyue felt that she was about to break the clue she had gotten with great difficulty, and couldn't help but have a headache.
