Chapter 527 Face Saint
The guards of Di Rong glared at Awan, but due to Cao Hong's power, they retreated. After arriving at Jingzhao Yin's Mansion, they couldn't wait to file a lawsuit.
Fortunately, the prefect Xie Yanping knew a variety of languages, and in the Di Rong's words mixed with the Dajing dialect, he figured out the causes and consequences.
Awan claimed that she had no intention of assassinating Princess Erya, so she refused to plead guilty and told herbs a few days ago. Although she said it in a vague way, Xie Yanping felt as if she was a mirror and frowned.
As far as he knows, Fang Zilan is indeed resting recently. Although he doesn't know the reason, if Awan's words are true, they are probably poisoned or sick. I think this matter not only involves Princess Erya of Di Rong, but also has to do with the life and death of Duke Yue of Dajing, which is no longer something that he just Jingzhao Prefecture can handle.
So he detained Awan immediately and brought Cao Hong and Di Rong guards into the palace.
Originally, Awan wanted to make a big deal worse, so he was so anxious that Cao Hong asked her to escort her to Jingzhao Yin Mansion, but now it seems that he will eventually make trouble in front of Li Shengxuan.
The people from the Ministry of Rites also received the news that the Shangshu Wang Quanrui and Di Rong Zhengzhi entered the palace together and met Cao Hong and Di Rong's guards.
Seeing this, Wang Quanrui was stunned and blurted out: "General Cao, why didn't you see the prefect of Jingzhao?"
Cao Hong said honestly: "Mr. Xie said that he would inform Your Majesty of the details of this matter first, and then he would listen to Your Majesty's order."
Wang Quanrui remained calm on his face, but was shocked. It is logical that Jingzhao Yin's Mansion should not take over this matter. However, Xie Yanping not only brought people into the palace, but also met the saint alone. Is there anything hidden behind it?
The little doctor girl from Duke Yue’s mansion doesn’t look like someone who can assassinate Princess Erya…
"Mr. Wang?" Di Rong Zhengshi's voice pulled back Wang Quanrui's thoughts. He smiled apologetically, "As a parent official in the capital, Lord Xie has always been meticulous and acted according to the rules of law and could not be fully compatible with him at all. Please wait here for a while."
This serious remark not only smoothed the scene for Xie Yanping, but also blocked Di Rong Zhengzheng, making him think that this was indeed a normal process, so he said politely: "Mr. Wang is so serious. Is this the general who saved Princess Erya today? Thank you for your life-saving kindness."
After saying that, he bowed, Cao Hong was flattered and waved his hand quickly, "Just make it not necessary."
Several people were outside the hall, and Xie Yanping in the hall always maintained a polite posture, "Your Majesty, if Miss Awan's words were true, I'm afraid Duke Yue..." Before he finished speaking, he saw Li Shengxuan winked at Xiahou Zhang.
"I will send someone to investigate this matter in detail. After you go back, you should take good care of Gu Awan. Never happen again, Ouyang Zirou and Fang Zitong." Li Shengxuan gave an order, and Xie Yanping nodded and responded: "The official understands, please don't worry."
Li Shengxuan waved his hand and signaled that Xie Yanping could retreat, but he was still standing there and hesitated: "Your Majesty, the reorganization of the Southeast Camp is about to be reorganized, and Di Rong's delegation is in Beijing. At this critical moment, if something happens to Lord Yue, I am afraid that the people of Miluo may not be able to be at peace."
He paused and said in a deep voice: "Do you want to take strict supervision of Prince Zhongzheng's mansion?"
"No need." Li Shengxuan said indifferently: "It is not my fault to take the young son to hold him back. The people of Miluo can send the prince Zhongzheng, but I will not use the prince Zhongzheng as a shield to get along with him. No matter what the neighbors are, Dajing will never be afraid."
Xie Yanping was stunned. This was the first time he had felt the blood and confidence of their emperor so directly. He had no doubt that one day, if it was absolutely necessary, everyone would use the Prince Zhongzheng as a shield and Miluo Xu and make a fool of themselves, and the emperor would have already protected the whole family, country and people.
"The official understands." Xie Yanping heard his voice, feeling inexplicably relieved, as if a big rock suddenly fell down on his chest, and he was indescribable.
So Cao Hong, Wang Quanrui, Di Rong Zhengzhi and a group of guards watched Xie Yanping walk out with his head held high and his chest raised, and then invited them in without any hesitation. Although he was puzzled by what happened, he still followed him quickly.
After entering the hall, Li Shengxuan appeased Di Rong Zhengzheng, said some important and serious scenes, and then sent them all away, leaving only Cao Hong.
"Your Majesty..." Cao Hong hesitated a little, and Li Shengxuan said straight to the point: "Cao Hong, I want to order you to take charge of the Southwest Camp, I wonder what you mean?"
"Your Majesty has a fate, so I will die, but..." Cao Hong clenched his fists and then knelt on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Yue has also mentioned that if Your Majesty has a fate, I will accept it. But I am afraid that if I take it, Lord Yue will be criticized, so..."
He didn't continue to say it, Li Shengxuan said clearly: "Has Fang Zilan mentioned this to you?"
"It was not what Duke Yue said in person, but asked someone to inform me." Cao Hong pursed his lips and added: "I have been busy recently, so Duke Yue is not free either..."
The more he spoke, the lower his voice was, which was quite a bit of a superfluous way. Li Shengxuan felt a slump in his heart. Even he had never seen Fang Zilan, so something happened to her.
"Cao Hong, what you can think of, do you think Fang Zilan couldn't think of?" Li Shengxuan still remained calm, "The reason why she took the risk of being criticized was that she didn't want you to refuse, because she had expected such a day long ago."
Cao Hong said in a daze: "Your Majesty means..."
"It is a matter of time sooner or later to reorganize the Southeast Camp, but the person who chooses the three camps to be in charge must be very cautious." Li Shengxuan's expression was dark and unclear, "The white jade tiger talisman is an opportunity, but it is not a good time at this time, but it is an arrow on the string and has to be fired."
Cao Hong was confused and heard Li Shengxuan say on his own, "Fang Zilan can trust you, so do I. It is enough to hand over the Southwest Camp to you to protect the safety of the people. As for the words in the court, it doesn't matter."
"Being trusted by Your Majesty and Lord Yue, Cao Hong will definitely defend the southwest even if he is broken into pieces." Cao Hong kowtowed straightly, and Li Shengxuan looked at him, feeling mixed feelings.
In order to protect Cao Hong, Fang Zilan tried every means to send him out of the independent portal of the Duke of Yue’s Mansion. Now that she has gone far to the southwest, she has fulfilled her wish. But in this way, there are fewer and fewer people around her.
"Your Majesty?" Cao Hong stood up straight, Li Shengxuan raised his hand to signal him, "Who is in charge of Jiangnan Camp? Does Fang Zilan have something to ask you to bring to me?"
Cao Hong coughed lightly and said the truth: "Duke Yue said that if His Majesty asks about the Jiangnan camp, it will be recommended to Duke Wei."
"What she can say," Li Shengxuan curled up the corners of his lips helplessly, "Okay, I know, you go back."
The second step to enter the game, Cao Hong was promoted as scheduled
