Chapter 67 Retractable Dagger
Emperor Mingde smiled and welcomed Qianqian and Dahua into the imperial study, which made Zhu Yuan even more unhappy.
He came to the Imperial Study to discuss serious matters with the Emperor. How could His Majesty allow a woman to sit in on the discussion? It was totally unreasonable.
Qian Qian didn't care about Zhu Yuan's gloomy face at all and had already started eating melon.
[Tongzi, which official is that? ]
The system snorted coldly, [This is Zhu Yuan, the Dali Temple official. He is an old-fashioned man who doesn't rely on evidence when handling cases, but only on personal relationships. What he is best at is balancing the relationships between the various powerful people in the capital.]
[Little princess, please don't commit too many unjust, false and wrongful cases on his hands. ]
[Ah,] Qian Qian glanced at Zhu Yuan and met his dissatisfied look. She glared at the old man, [Is there anyone who can replace him?]
[Of course there is,] the system tried hard to recommend, [Although Zhu Yuan is a jack of all trades, his son Zhu Jia is an iron-faced and selfless living devil, and he really despises his father's way of doing things.]
[Oh,] Qian Qian stroked his chin, [Is there any way to let his son help his father with work?]
system……
[Alas,] Qianqian sighed, and arched her chubby little body to get into Dahua's arms. Dahua hugged her with a smile, [Forget it, I can't talk, I can take it easy.]
Emperor Mingde glanced at the little girl in a soothing manner and said in a deep voice, "I have not asked about the cases in the Dali Temple in recent years. Now that the imperial examination is approaching, I will send some people to check the Dali Temple files carefully. My dear minister, please cooperate well."
Zhu Yuan no longer cared about Xiao Qianqian after hearing this. His legs and feet suddenly started to weaken. He pretended to be calm and bowed, "Yes, Your Majesty. I obey your command."
[Oh, my father is planning to investigate the Dali Temple. Where should I start?]
[Well, it’s best to start from the files from the autumn of three years ago. That autumn, because of a dancer, the Duke’s Mansion, the Prime Minister’s Mansion, and several officials’ sons caused quite a stir.]
[Later, Zhu Yuan arrested a few innocent civilians who were not important and handled the case smoothly. The noblemen who really caused the trouble were not in trouble at all and continued to live a carefree life.]
Emperor Mingde took note of it secretly, gave Zhu Yuan some instructions, and then let the person leave.
As soon as Zhu Yuan left, Emperor Mingde ordered someone to contact Zhu Jia.
Qianqian and Dahua did not disturb their father. Emperor Mingde met with several officials in charge of this year's autumn examination in the imperial study, and then took the two little ones to Fengqi Palace.
The Queen was talking to Qiqige in the flower hall. When they saw Emperor Mingde coming over, they stood up and were about to greet each other. Emperor Mingde immediately waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite."
He looked at Qiqige's big belly with some concern. Since the emperor had come, it was not suitable for Qiqige to stay here any longer, so she took her leave.
"Qianyue," Emperor Mingde was a little worried, "my brother's wife,"
The Queen glanced at Emperor Mingde and said, "Imperial Physician Feng has checked. Qiqige's pregnancy is stable. She may give birth at any time in the next few days. The midwife and servants are ready."
Emperor Mingde nodded, "I wonder how Wuhui is doing?"
"As for him," the queen said helplessly, "My eldest brother is now the most trusted general in Chu State, responsible for protecting the royal family of Chu State. Chu State keeps a very strict watch on him, so Wuhui cannot contact him for the time being."
"Alas," Emperor Mingde sighed and lowered his head, "It's all my fault."
"Your Majesty," the Queen looked at Emperor Mingde's handsome profile, "Don't say these things."
"Yes," Emperor Mingde nodded, and suddenly remembered something, "Mr. Mo Wanwan and his brother from the Duke of Yan's Mansion passed away years ago. These days, the Duke of Yan's Mansion and the Li Mansion are preparing for the wedding of Shiyin and Li Lian."
"I see," the queen thought for a moment, "since it was His Majesty who arranged the marriage, he must give me some rewards, but time flies by so fast."
"Yes."
The emperor and empress tilted their heads to look out the window at the same time. It was a bright spring day with lush greenery, and there was a thin layer of unmelted snow in the shade of the garden.
"Oh, by the way," the Queen suddenly remembered something and whispered, "Your Majesty, do you still remember Xu Dingcheng and the fake daughter Xu Yaoyao in Lin Can's mansion?"
Emperor Mingde thought for a while, "I roughly remember how she is doing?"
"Alas," the queen sighed slightly, "the little girl fell into the pond of Xu Mansion and drowned in March."
How ironic! If I had listened to Qian Qian's thoughts, this kind of death should have been the way Da Hua died.
Emperor Mingde nodded. An insignificant and bad-hearted little girl did not affect his mood. He smiled cunningly, "Hehe, Qianyue's textile machine has been innovated several times, and Rong Wuniang's weaving, embroidery, and clothing workshops are really doing a booming business."
The Queen raised her eyebrows, "What does your Majesty want?"
"Qianyue, the national treasury is still quite well-stocked after the confiscation of my property a few days ago, but my private treasury, hehehe."
The queen rolled her eyes at Emperor Mingde. It was a violation for a good-looking person to be good-looking, but such a vulgar and indecent expression on his face actually looked good.
"Let me think about it."
[Well, my father and mother can now have a good chat, this is great. ]
[Little Princess,] the system paused, [Speaking of Rong Wuniang, do you still remember her son Zhang Junmo?]
[Yeah, I remember. What's wrong? ]
[That kid didn't have a very good life. In March, Rong Wuniang transferred him from the orphanage to the Imperial Academy. Alas.]
[What happened?] Qianqian hugged Erdan's big head and rubbed it, [Did he get bullied at school?]
[No, but because his mother was a widow and was out in the limelight doing business, he was looked down upon by other students and was isolated in the Imperial College.]
The system was helpless. This was how it was in this era. Pioneers would always be criticized. [That little guy's mentality had begun to become distorted. He secretly made a retractable dagger. That thing was very powerful in this era.]
Emperor Mingde...
Queen...
The two looked at each other, one ordered someone to go to the Imperial College to check on Zhang Junmo's situation, and the other ordered someone to invite Rong Wuniang.
Such a great weapons genius cannot die or be distorted.
Qian Qian looked at his mother with no hope in life, [Wow, I want to go out and play, I want to eat melons, I want to,]
The queen walked up to Qianqian, picked her up, and kissed her on the face several times. She said, "Girl, just be patient. It has only snowed a few days ago. It won't be too late to leave the palace when the weather gets warmer."
Xiao Qianqian was detained in the Daxia Palace by her mother. Ning Yuanchen from the Xiliang Palace was holding a sword, with blood all over his face and head, smiling wantonly, and staring at Ning Huaiyu with strange eyes.
Ning Huaiyu was so frightened by his crazy son that he fell to the ground and dared not move. He looked around his bedroom with trembling lips.
In the bedroom, his beloved ones and their children were lying in a pool of blood, no sound had been heard yet. He felt cruel and sad inside, as he had been planning all his life that he would eventually die at the hands of his own flesh and blood.
"Hahahahaha," Ning Yuanchen laughed crazily, "Go to hell, old man."
He raised the sword in his hand, his eyes red as he ran towards Ning Huaiyu, the King of Xiliang...
boom!
Ning Huaiyu was startled by Ning Yuanchen's sudden fall to the ground. He was stunned for a moment and made sure that Ning Yuanchen could not move. He used his hands and feet and raised his butt to quickly crawl out of the bedroom.
When he climbed to the threshold, the sunlight in front of him was blocked by shadows. Ning Huaiyu raised his head tremblingly, and a bright red came into his eyes...
