Chapter 793 She Came to Guard Him, She Came to Comfort His Heart
The mysterious deaths of two princesses and a princess in the palace have long been an open secret in Kyoto.
But in the end, it is related to the royal family's face. The superiors have been strictly suppressing it, not allowing private information among the people, and not allowing officials to discuss it. However, it can stop everyone's mouths, but not their hearts.
Rumors that the palace is haunted have never stopped, and there are many people in this world who respect and fear the theory of gods and ghosts. Therefore, the truth behind this murder case has always received considerable attention.
It’s just that everyone knows that this kind of disaster comes from words and cannot be openly gossiped. After all, the person who died of his daughter or his niece is the emperor who is above everything else.
You dare to arrange the emperor's housework, I'm afraid you don't want to die!
But even though I was thinking this way, when the news really came out, how many people didn't want to know?
At this time, the court was filled with officials of all grades who could enter the court. Everyone's eyes were focused on the handsome man in white in the center of the court.
Most people knew this man in white. The case of the missing child caused an uproar in the city of Kyoto, and the children of many ministers suffered disaster. The case that lasted for several years was finally solved by this unknown young gentleman.
This Mr. Liu had previously heard that he had left the capital with the third prince to attend to business, but now he had returned to the capital alone. Some ministers who were very familiar with Mr. Liu because of the missing child case, their eyes lit up when they saw him appear.
Your Majesty, when did you recall Mr. Liu to Kyoto? Why didn't you hear any news? If they knew about it in advance, they would definitely come to visit him. They would repay the favor of saving his son and repay the favor with him. They knew that kindness was not repaid, which is what animals do.
Emperor Qian Ling looked at the expressions of the officials below and frowned slightly. When he looked at Liu Wei again, Emperor Qian Ling's expression hardened slightly, and there was a dark energy in his eyes.
Seeing the emperor's expression, Qi Fu didn't understand why.
Yes, how sensational the case of the missing child was at the time, how rich the popularity this Master Liu earned was. Dozens of children, dozens of important families, everyone knows how many important officials in the court this Master Liu has gained.
At that time, no one thought it was inappropriate, but because the sixteenth prince Rong Yun was also one of the missing children, the emperor was very happy at that time, and he naturally had a lot of favorable impressions of Master Liu.
But these days are different.
At present, there is great chaos in the court, and the Zhenge Gate has been disrupted and reorganized. This Mr. Liu is clearly a person of the Third Prince. After such a change, one look at it again, as long as Mr. Liu continues to be on the other side of the Third Prince, all the officials in the court will be It is very likely that he will be won over by the Third Prince.
Thinking of the emperor's declining health, the prince's illness, and the seven princes' eager eyes, how could the emperor not be sensitive?
Qi Fu thought that today's case would be difficult to solve. It's fine that Mr. Liu really solved the case cleanly, but as long as there's a little bit of ambiguity...I'm afraid, the failure to solve the case in the end is the second most important thing, and the bigger issue is the consequences for himself.
"Haha, I heard that there is a lot of excitement in the palace. Your Majesty, the old minister is here!"
Suddenly, a hearty male voice sounded outside the hall. It sounded old but powerful, coming from afar.
All the officials in the court looked out and saw Yan Zhenli, the Marquis of the State of Yue, who had not been in court for several months and had not been in court for several months, walking in with a high spirit.
Seeing the marquis from the Yue Kingdom coming, many people in the court began to whisper, how could the former first commander of the Qingyun Kingdom, Lord Yan, have time to go to court today?
This figure is considered semi-retired. It stands to reason that he has not been involved in political affairs for a long time.
Emperor Qian Ling slowly narrowed his eyes when he saw Yan Zhenli approaching. His eyes were not cloudy but definitely not clear.
Qi Fu, who was standing next to him, was even more worried as he watched. When the rebellion of King Quan happened a while ago, the emperor personally ordered Lord Yan to enter the palace to meet the saint. However, this Lord pretended to be seriously ill and had trouble walking. , dragged on for several days, but did not enter the palace once.
Today, he actually came on his own initiative.
Qi Fu's eyes couldn't help but turn to Liu Wei, who was wearing white men's clothing in the hall.
Yan Qiu, the young prince of the Marquis of Yue State, was also one of the children who was rescued in the case of a missing child. Moreover, the Marquis of Yue State seemed to be more optimistic about the third prince than the prince and the seventh prince.
Could it be...
Qi Fu didn't dare to think too much. There were some things that a eunuch like him shouldn't pay attention to. If he thought too much and guessed too much, his life would be shortened, which would be uneconomical.
"Old minister, I have met the emperor!" Yan Zhenli waved his sleeves, bowed majestically, and paid his respects to the nine-five-year-old man in the hall.
Emperor Qian Ling looked at Yan Zhenli with calm eyes for a long time. He did not immediately tell Yan Zhenli to get back on his feet. He only asked with an unpredictable expression: "Yan Qing was ill, but has he recovered?"
Yan Zhenli said: "I don't dare to do anything wrong when the Emperor is worried about me. No, I just recovered from my illness and came to see the Holy Spirit. I'm afraid that if I delay for one more moment, the Emperor will worry for one more moment!"
Yan Zhenli spoke sincerely, and Emperor Qian Ling smiled lightly and said: "Get back on your feet..."
Even if there are many barriers and obstacles between the emperor and his ministers, they are not obvious at all on this surface, just because both of them understand the way of being a king and the way of being a minister.
Emperor Qian Ling said directly to Yan Zhenli: "Liu Qing, you must be familiar with him. Today is the day when he will show off his talents. It's okay for you to come and witness."
Yan Zhenli then looked at Liu Wei, who was aside. Liu Wei also looked at Yan Zhenli, but Liu Wei seemed to have no energy and was a little distracted. He just nodded slightly and called out: "I have met the Marquis."
Yan Zhenli stretched out his hand and slapped Liu Wei heavily on the shoulder. Lang Sheng smiled and said, "Master Liu, long time no see. How are you?"
Liu Wei twitched the corners of her mouth and smiled reluctantly.
Yan Zhenli looked at Emperor Qian Ling again and said, "Master Liu's ability has been demonstrated a few months ago. There must be many people who still have the same memory as the old minister. Qiu'er I have been clamoring to see my savior, Mr. Liu. After the morning court, I still hope that the emperor will allow Mr. Liu to accompany the old minister to the mansion to have a talk."
Liu Wei clearly felt that after Yue Guohou said these words, there were many kind and grateful looks from around her.
Liu Wei bowed humbly to the Marquis of Yue Kingdom. Liu Wei knew that the Marquis's words were just trying to win the favor of the officials.
When the Hou Hui of Yue Kingdom suddenly appeared in the court, Liu Wei could guess whose handiwork it was without having to think about it.
Liu Wei didn't raise his head to look for Rong Leng, but Liu Wei could feel his gaze.
Rong Leng would always guard her like this, making her feel at ease. As long as she turned around, she could see him.
So this time, let her guard him and calm his heart.
Under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes, Liu Wei slightly cupped his hands towards the Nine-Five-Year-Old Lord on the Dragon Throne, his eyes tightened, and Liu Wei said cautiously: "Your Majesty, what I want to say today is actually not Princess Qinyang's. case……"
As soon as Liu Wei finished speaking, whispers from the officials came from the palace.
Emperor Qian Ling looked at Liu Wei and said angrily in a cold voice: "Liu Qing, do you know what you are talking about?"
Liu Wei lowered his head, carefully organized his words, and then said: "I know it, just because I know it, I need to make it clear in advance. What I want to talk about today is not just the case of Princess Qinyang. It's shocking and jaw-dropping, and will the Emperor allow me to explain this one by one?"
