"Well, Nangong Yuying was assassinated last night and is dead." Chu Muhan said with a cold tone, "Does Prime Minister Nangong know the murderer?"

"I know you." Nangong Haotian looked solemn and gritted his teeth as he said, "I received a tip last night that an assassin sneaked into the prime minister's house and killed his second sister."

"What about the assassin?" Chu Muhan asked, his sharp eyes flashing with sinister murderous intent, "Have you caught him?"

"I am incompetent and failed to find the murderer." Nangong Haotian said guiltily, "I still ask the emperor to punish me. I am willing to accept the decree and be punished."

"Whether the assassin escaped or whatever, it's all your responsibility. I don't blame you." Chu Mu coldly snorted, "Since we can't find the murderer, let's hand this case over to the Criminal Department. As for your second brother's funeral expenses

, let the Prime Minister’s Office bear it.”

"Yes, I obey your order." Nangong Haotian lowered his head and replied.

Chu Muhan stood up: "Nothing else, please step back."

Nangong Haotian saluted and said goodbye.

Chu Muhan turned around and held Jiang Qiyun's tender pancreas: "Beloved, let's go."

Jiang Qiyun nodded and helped Chu Muhan out.

Chu Muhan took Jiang Qiyun's hand and walked towards the sedan chair: "My beloved, please get on the sedan chair. I will carry you back."

"I can leave on my own. Your Majesty, go and get busy. Don't delay the government affairs." Jiang Qiyun pushed Chu Muhan away.

Chu Muhan had no choice but to let her go and watched Jiang Qiyun climb onto the sedan chair slenderly, whip her horse, and leave Nangong Mansion.

As soon as Jiang Qiyun returned to Weiyang Palace, Li Dehai, the chief eunuch, walked in hurriedly and reported: "Queen, my servant has just received the imperial edict to announce that you will enter the palace immediately and have important matters to discuss."

Jiang Qiyun's beautiful and dignified face showed a hint of worry: "The emperor summoned me, what is the matter?"

Li Dehai shook his head and sighed: "I don't know, but the emperor's face does not look good."

Jiang Qiyun frowned and thought, and after a moment she said: "Prepare the phoenix crown robe and rouge gouache, I will be here later."

Li Dehai agreed and left in a hurry.

After half a cup of tea, Jiang Qiyun finished washing up, put on her phoenix robe, put on a pearl hairpin, got on a soft sedan, and entered the palace with the support of four nuns.

Arriving at the Qiankun Hall, Jiang Qiyun stopped the sedan chair, and the four nuns let go and retreated outside the hall to wait.

Jiang Qiyun entered the palace and performed the courtesy of a monarch and a minister. Chu Muhan stretched out his hand and said, "Sit down and give me a seat."

After Chu Muhan sat down on the dragon chair, he motioned Jiang Qiyun to sit on the chair on the left, and then said: "Queen, I am here today because I got the news that Nangong Yurong was killed at Nangong's house."

"I don't know, I don't know." Jiang Qiyun frowned slightly.

Of course she didn't know that Nangong Yurong was killed, but that didn't stop her from pretending to be stupid.

"The Nangong family has been pampered for decades, but they have taught a villain. I really have neglected my duty!" Chu Muhan said angrily.

"Your Majesty..." Jiang Qiyun looked worried and anxious.

"Queen, don't worry, I have already investigated clearly." Chu Muhan explained, "The reason why Nangong Yurong was killed has nothing to do with the Lin family!"

"Lin family?" Jiang Qiyun widened her eyes in surprise, "The Lin family dares to kill the second princess, and they deserve death! I beg the emperor to exterminate the Lin family on behalf of the Lin family, as a warning to others!"

Mrs. Lin's face turned pale: "Your Majesty...what do you mean by this? Was Yu Rong really killed by the Lin family?"

Chu Muhan stared at Mrs. Lin: "I watched Mrs. Nangong grow up. She has a cheerful personality and is straightforward. I like her very much. It's a pity that she was harmed by the Lin family."

Mrs. Lin looked sad: "Yu Rong is a hard-luck child. She has been hoping that her father will be promoted and live a good life. Now that Yu Rong is dead, the Lin family will definitely have to pay for it with her life!"

"You are wrong." Chu Muhan said calmly, "The Lin family does not have to pay with their lives, but I will punish the Lin family's accomplices. Queen, the Lin family harbored the criminals and attempted to rebel. You immediately ordered the Lin family to be confiscated and everyone in the Lin family to be captured.

All were taken to Jing Zhaoyin for trial."

"Yes, I will obey the emperor's decree!" Jiang Qiyun said respectfully.

"According to my decree, the Lin family has collaborated with the enemy and committed treason. The evidence of the crime is conclusive, and the property will be confiscated." Chu Muhan continued.

road.

"I obey your orders." Jiang Qiyun saluted again.

Chu Muhan pondered for a moment: "Prime Minister Nangong, you can also participate in the search for evidence of the Lin family's crimes. Try to find as many as possible. Maybe you can uncover the real murderer."

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!" Nangong Haotian was overjoyed and kowtowed quickly.

Chu Muhan waved his sleeves: "Okay, step back."

"Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body. I, my concubine, take my leave." Jiang Qiyun bowed respectfully and left the Qiankun Palace slowly with steady and light steps.

"Queen, please stay." Chu Muhan called to her.

"Your Majesty calls me your concubine?" Jiang Qiyun stopped and looked at Chu Muhan, her expression indifferent, neither humble nor overbearing.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Chu Muhan's lips: "I heard that your appetite has been extremely poor recently, so I ordered the imperial kitchen to cook red dates, wolfberry and bird's nest porridge. You can drink it to replenish your health."

Jiang Qiyun lowered her eyes slightly, hiding the twinkling light in her eyes, and lightly opened her red lips: "I thank you, Your Majesty."

Chu Muhan asked the palace maid to get the food box, handed it to Jiang Qiyun, and warned in a warm voice: "After eating, rinse your mouth."

"I understand." Jiang Qiyun took the food box, bowed and left.

After Jiang Qiyun left, Chu Mohan asked the emperor's grandfather: "Emperor, do you agree to this arrangement?" New

"Well, it's up to you." Emperor Chu nodded, his tone was quite gratifying. Although he favored his daughter-in-law, he was also a wise and wise emperor. The queen was smart and kind, and was a virtuous and good queen. He was very pleased.

Chu Muhan said in a deep voice: "Emperor, the queen is weak and often falls ill. This is not the solution. I hope she can recover as soon as possible."

"I will find a famous doctor to diagnose and treat her." Emperor Chu said, and then sighed, "I'm afraid the queen's body is hopeless. I will choose another queen to have children for me."

"Emperor, I..."

"Okay, stop talking." Emperor Chu interrupted Chu Muhan, "You already have two nobles in your harem, and I can't allow you to accept new concubines."

Chu Muhan immediately closed his mouth and looked gloomy.

Seeing this, Emperor Chu patted his grandson on the shoulder: "You can decide these things yourself. You are the emperor, and if you want someone to be the queen, I will never stop you."

"Yes!" Chu Muhan stood up and responded solemnly.

The emperor is very kind to me, how can I let him down?

"Emperor, brother." Jiang Qiyun walked in from outside, feeling blessed.

The Emperor of Chu said kindly: "My beloved concubine, please excuse me. Come and sit down and talk to me."

Jiang Qiyun sat down with a smile: "Emperor, my concubine heard that you were going to summon the grand master, so I asked the kitchen to prepare a few dishes that you like to eat."

Jiang Qiyun pointed to the plate of crystal shrimps on the table: "These shrimps are still steaming. Emperor, please try it quickly."
