Chapter 43 The death of the captain

Seeing that everyone's eyes were gathered at Di Yang and Wei Xingzhen, Cen Lingju's hands were clenched in her sleeves.

I was left alone and ignored by others at this moment, like a joke.

The girl gritted her teeth and stared at Di Yang's back.

She was extremely angry, but she couldn't get into an attack.

She carefully prepared the mother-of-pearl mat for nearly two months, but was stolen by Di Yang's handful of unknown bamboo rakes and flowers...

Cen Lingju's eyes were slightly hot. She had already figured out the purpose of the red wine today...

At this moment, a sharp sound of news suddenly came, interrupting Cen Lingju's thoughts and making everyone look at him.

I saw a guard wearing a peach blossom mask walking quickly towards Sun Youwei.

"Report—"

The Taohua Guard shouted, while walking among the guards without any stopping, and no one stopped him. This was obviously because he received His Majesty's order.

Sun Youwei's eyes became cold and he watched the Taohua Guard running closer.

After everyone, Sun Youwei looked at the people under her seat and leaned forward slightly, "...Did you come from the Taiwei Mansion?"

"Back to your Majesty, that's right!"

Sun You smiled, "Why is the Grand Marshal not delaying tonight? I have been waiting for him, but I have been waiting for him for a long time."

"Your Majesty, mourn." The voice of the Taohua Guard added a little sadness. "Mrs. Shao felt ashamed because she misunderstood His Majesty for nothing before, and made the holy name Mengchen feel ashamed. She jumped into a well at the Taiwei Mansion tonight. The Taiwei was heartbroken when he heard the news and fainted. Not long after... she was also angry!"

After a moment of silence, the crowd suddenly became noisy - some lamented, some were surprised, and all the officials who entered the Luling Academy burst into tears on the spot.

The same is true for Chen Ming and Xu Dayou.

Others don’t know what “I misunderstood Your Majesty for nothing” means, but they understand that Shaw’s misconduct in front of the palace three days ago is still vivid in their minds.

But Shaw Brothers was a female official who had been with Sun Youwei for more than 20 years. The two had a deep friendship and were very close...

At that time, they thought that when His Majesty's anger was gone, the matter would probably be over. Unexpectedly, Shaw's temperament was so strong...

On the imperial throne, Sun Youwei's eyes slowly dropped, and a sad expression covered her eyes. She sighed, "What's wrong with this...? I didn't blame you..."

Several court officials in the front row heard Sun Youwei's whisper, stood up on the spot, leaned over and knelt down towards Sun Youwei, "Your Majesty!"

More people reacted at this time and looked at the sudden sad empress on the imperial throne, and some people stood up and knelt down.

"Your Majesty!" They spoke in unison.

"Your Majesty!" Suddenly, an official stood up in his seat, "I dared to ask, "Mrs. Shao said that "Master Shao's name is covered with dust"... is it..."

Everyone's eyes shook slightly, and then they all looked at Sun Youwei on the imperial throne.

The elderly empress lowered her eyes slightly and whispered, "Three days ago, the Taiwei fainted in Taichu Palace because of the wild spirit. You should have heard of it."

As she spoke, everyone here fell into silence again.

She looked at Chen Ming, "I remember that Chen Jijiu and Xu Zhongcheng were there at that time, right?"

Chen Ming and Xu Dayou quickly stood up and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, yes."

"Then, let's talk about it."

Xu Dayou choked on the spot and whispered to Chen Ming, "What should I say?"

Chen Ming tried his best to resist the soreness in his nose and pressed his throat down even more, "I'll do it."

He gritted his teeth and looked at the questioner among the ministers and whispered, "That day, Shaw Brothers entered the palace overnight because he was worried about the safety of the Taiwei. Seeing that the Taiwei was unconscious, she thought that his Majesty was still holding a grudge for the conflict in the previous summer solstice, so he secretly attacked the Taiwei..."

Before they finished speaking, everyone understood.

Chen Ming continued, "There was a traitor who secretly acted and harmed the loyal and kind, which not only caused the Taiwei, but also implicated the eldest princess. That night, the eldest princess fell into a coma like the Taiwei, for no reason."

The conversation suddenly broke out, and people realized that "the Taiwei was attacked by wild spirits" was not an accident.

It sounds like a planned plot.

No wonder the Dali Temple Peace Demon Agency has almost turned over the entire Luoyang in the past two days...

"In order to avoid panic in the people of Shendu and not to alarm the snake, Your Majesty did not disclose this matter. Instead, the case was cut off within three days by Dali Temple. The young minister of Dali Temple, Ji Ran and the chief assistant Wei Xingzhen, worked together to arrest the criminal on the second day.

"The case is still under investigation. I heard that Dali Temple will issue a document tomorrow to make the whole story public." Chen Ming looked at Sun Youwei, "Your Majesty... has really been plagued these days."

"I have been used to it for a long time. The Taiwei Gongzhong is in charge of the country, but the ending is so sad. It's a pity." Sun You said softly, and she sighed, "Let the two of them be buried in the Pantheon of the Great Zhou Dynasty according to the national funeral specifications for future generations to pay tribute to... The Ministry of Rites will follow up on the specific details."

The Minister of Rites stood up and said, "Yes."

Hearing this, Chen Ming couldn't bear it anymore, leaned over and kneeled down to Sun Youwei, and replied in a crying voice, "...Your Majesty is wise."

"Your Majesty," someone stood up in the crowd, "The Taiwei is my mentor. Can your Majesty allow me to go to the Taiwei Mansion to see it now? I want to go to the night watch for my master and my wife tonight..."

Almost at this moment, Feng Yan saw Sun Youwei's breath becoming sharp and sharp again.

The majestic murderous intent that overflowed from her body almost covered the entire peach forest in an instant, but a faint sad smile appeared on Sun Youwei's face, "It's rare that you have this intention... Who else wants to go with him to watch over the night of the Grand Marshal?"

Among the court officials, Xue Anshan's students stood up in groups of three or three.

As soon as Xu Dayou wanted to get up, he felt Chen Ming beside him holding his arm tightly.

“…Mr. Chen?”

Chen Ming's eyes were red. He didn't even look up. He said word by word in a voice that only Xu Dayou could hear, "...Don't move."

Xu Dayou was puzzled. Although he was feeling uncomfortable, he still listened to Chen Ming's words and stayed quietly in his seat, and then watched the others leave.

On the other side, Feng Yishu also stood up and wanted to leave. He had never liked these banquets. In addition, Xue Anshan was an old minister he respected very much. After thinking about it, he decided to go to the Taiwei Mansion with everyone.

However, before the man stood up, his mother Li grabbed him tightly.

"Mom..." Feng Yishu was about to explain to Li and let her go, but as soon as he saw Li's face, he was shocked by Li's bloodless face.

"Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Why is your face suddenly so bad-"

"Goro sat down." Li said tremblingly.

Li rarely showed such an expression in front of the child. Feng Yishu quickly sat down again as she said, "I'll go and invite an imperial physician to come over for you-"

"I'm fine." Li held his son's hand and tried harder. The veins on her thin hands raised, "You'll be here tonight... and don't go anywhere."

Feng Yishu nodded obediently and sat down quietly beside his mother.

Li didn't say anything anymore, but Yu Guang looked at Sun Youwei on the imperial throne, and the trembling in his heart could not calm down for a long time-

Be careful in your words and actions...
