The day in early summer is gradually lengthened by time. The green branches and leaves of the turquoise paulownia rustled in the evening breeze, and the fire-like sunset in the sky burned and bleeding colors. The colorful glass phoenix reflected on the roof of Ci'en Palace was indescribable and brilliant.

As the sky was dark, Ci'en Palace began to hold lights. The palace people used exquisite and bright palace lanterns to disperse the afterglow of the sunset that penetrated through the window. In a moment, Ci'en Palace was as bright as daytime.

Zhou Shao didn't dare to urge Mu Anzhi to say, "Don't eat, let's go to Ci'en Palace quickly. Your Majesty and the Empress are waiting for you. Today, Mu Anzhi was not in a good mood, and he had already had a sensation. The deputy general manager of the Shuifang and two young eunuchs. Now there is Sun Liu who committed suicide by committing suicide in the Shuifang, and no one knows what Mu Anzhi was thinking. But at present, it's best not to disobey Mu Anzhi.

Zhou Shao didn't dare to let His Majesty and the Empress Dowager wait for a long time, so he had to come back first to report a letter.

When Emperor Mu Xuan heard that Mu Anzhi was still using dinner, his face darkened and his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and he was displeased. Empress Dowager Lan ordered the palace servants to serve some slim porridge and said to Emperor Mu Xuan, "The emperor should not be unhappy. What's the big deal? Don't let the children eat? You can also use some dinner."

"My son is not hungry, he is full of breath."

"If you are a son, you won't eat at night, and if you are a mother, you will be worried."

Empress Dowager Lan said that she would not eat at night, so she also accompanied the emperor's son to use a bowl of Oden rice porridge and two chopsticks of side dishes.

Mu Anzhi came not too late, and he did not deliberately delay and refuse. He followed his normal dietary habits, rinsed his mouth after dinner, stopped for a while, and then took Xiaoyi, followed by the deputy general manager of the water room who had been limping and got sticked, and the two little eunuchs went to Ci'en Palace.

At this time, the moonlight was rising and the sky was cool. Mu Anzhi was in a good mood, so his steps became more and more leisurely.

In front of Ci'en Palace, Mu Anzhi slowly climbed up the stairs. Zhou Shao wished he could rush forward and carry him on his way. His Majesty inside had already used dinner and waited for another cup of tea! Zhou Shao respectfully set up a curtain for Mu Anzhi and handed Mu Anzhi a wink without a trace.

Mu Anzhi's face was plain, and Zhou Shao couldn't even see if the Third Highness saw his eyes. However, he was an eunuch, and even the chief supervisor of Ci'en Palace did not dare to surpass himself in front of Emperor Mu Xuan. He had only so much he could do.

With the eunuch's voice, the Third Highness arrived-

Emperor Mu Xuan's face became more and more gloomy, and there was a faint storm in his sharp eyes glanced at Mu Anzhi. Mu Anzhi was still like an old god, and he paid tribute to the two palaces with the etiquette that had been soaked in his bones for many years. Before Mu Anzhi's body was straightened up, he heard Emperor Mu Xuan's coldly ask, "You can have a good dinner?"

"I thank the emperor's grandmother for his blessings. Especially the crab paste lip, which is plump and delicious, better than shark fin, and only has the skills of the longevity kitchen." Mu Anzhi was still sitting next to Empress Dowager Lan, praising her without hesitation.

Queen Mother Lan smiled and stroked Mu Anzhi's back, her eyes full of pampering, "You like it, and you often ask them to make it for you in the future."

Mu Anzhi looked very comfortable and arched his back, "Then his grandson would be disrespectful."

The face of Emperor Mu Xuan was already gloomy as water, and the storm was about to come. Empress Dowager Lan hurriedly said, "And you, there is something, your father wants to ask you."

"I heard from Zhou Shao that Sun Liu was hanging in the house. Your Majesty wants to ask me for this?" Mu Anzhi pulled away the mud-gold tooth fracture fan in his hand, opened and closed, fiddling and playing, and said carelessly, "Your Majesty ask, I will tell you everything."

"I'll ask you how he died?" Emperor Mu Xuan became more and more displeased.

"How do I know how he died? I came to the emperor's grandmother in my own palace today, and I didn't even step out of Yu'an Palace in the afternoon. If His Majesty hadn't announced me to come here, I would have been ready to go to bed now." Mu Anzhi snorted coldly and closed the folding fan. "I heard that Zhou Shao said that he was hanged. If Your Majesty has doubts, he would go to the Shenzheng Department to investigate. If the Shenzheng Department could not find out, he would come to the palace to the Ministry of Justice. Your Majesty asked me, how did I know!"

"Did you have a water room today?" Emperor Mu Xuan asked again, his eagle-like eyes locked straight towards Mu Anzhi, as if he wanted to find some flaws in Mu Anzhi's face.

But, no!

Mu Anzhi's cold eyes were full of sarcasm, and he looked back at Emperor Mu Xuan's gaze in anger:

"Is there something that cannot happen in the water room? I asked them to send some hot water to bathe, and I took half an hour to deliver it. I also wanted to see which water room manager is, and dare to neglect the mission of Yu'an Palace like this! He didn't come, the deputy general manager came. I asked him to beat the deputy general manager a few times, but he didn't beat him to death. I left a breath. I had brought the person to His Majesty and knelt outside."

"If you weren't as cruel as you were, could the water room manager be forced to commit suicide?" Emperor Mu Xuan became more and more convinced that Mu Anzhi had no repentance and questioned him sternly.

Mu Anzhi slapped the folding fan on the armrest of the phoenix seat, "This is the first time I heard that rewarding a few sticks is cruel? The servants don't understand the rules, and I don't reward or punish me. Do you still have to reward merit? Did I beat them to death? The seventy-two tortures in the Jingshi Department are not as good as slaughter? Let Your Majesty say that these slaves are not beaten or touched and offered sacrifices to their ancestors! Otherwise, they will have to be cruel to their masters at least?"

"If you are dissatisfied, you can try to treat the case of justice. Why do you use lynching? Like you, everyone will deal with it privately. Are there any rules in this palace?"

"Dongmu's rules were set by Emperor □□. Since I am the descendant of Emperor □□, I am the prince's name and my servants make me unhappy, so I will deal with it. What's wrong?"

"Yes, Emperor, Sun Liu is such a slave, why are you so angry?" Empress Dowager Lan naturally helped Mu Anzhi speak. In the past two days, Mu Anzhi was silent and had a tendency to do whatever he wanted. Although Empress Dowager Lan felt that Mu Anzhi was a little reckless, she also had an indescribable appreciation.

"Mother, slaves are also humans. How can they be punished and killed like this?"

"What is forced to kill? I didn't meet Sun Liuyi today. I've been rumored to him twice. He was not half a step to my Yu'an Palace. If he died, I would have to force him to kill him! The Ministry of Justice has to pay attention to the conclusive evidence of the case. Your Majesty, what evidence do you have to prove that Sun Liu's death is related to me? How could I force him to kill him? I beat the deputy general manager halfway, and forced him to kill him? Your Majesty's case is not fair? If there is evidence, you will say that I force him to kill him. If there is no evidence, you are just false to me!"

Mu Anzhi was furious, "Since Your Majesty wants to investigate this matter, do you dare to ask the Shenzheng Department to investigate it seriously? Do you dare to investigate it to the end?"

"What are you afraid of? I'm not careful? I'm not a jealous son of you!" Emperor Mu Xuan was also dizzy by Mu Anzhi's anger. Once such a thing was revealed, the censor would be impeached. Emperor Mu Xuan was always respectful. Even if Mu Anzhi didn't like him, he would not want Mu Anzhi to have any bad reputation. He just wanted to scold him privately. It would be fine if Mu Anzhi admitted his mistake, after all, he was a slave. Unexpectedly, Mu Anzhi was so rebellious and at least he wouldn't distinguish them!

"Then check it! The General Manager of Xuanshen's Office of Punishment comes over, and the Minister of Xuanshen's Ministry of Punishment enters the palace! People who have seen Sun Liu today, where did Sun Liu go before his death, have anyone seen who said what he said? They all found it clear and dreamy! Your Majesty will see with your own eyes whether Sun Liu's death is related to me!" Mu Anzhi looked directly at Emperor Mu An without any permission, narrowing his eyes, and even looked at him, asking, "Does Your Majesty dare?"

*

General Li of the Shenzheng Department came quickly. The Minister of Justice had already returned home and came to the palace from outside the palace. It took him half an hour. The Minister of Justice heard that it was a palace matter, and he was a little overwhelmed. The affairs in the palace were always the manager of the Shenzheng Department. The Ministry of Justice was in charge of major cases in the world, but since he was entered into the palace, the atmosphere of Ci'en Palace was condensed and suppressed. The Empress Dowager who sat high on the throne, His Majesty the Emperor and His Three His Highnesses all faced like a pot, and the Minister of Justice did not dare to say much. He heard His Majesty the Emperor's explanation of the cause of death in the check-shuifang Office. The Minister of Justice agreed and called the most secure coroner from the Ministry of Justice.

The coroner of Shenzheng and the coroner of the Ministry of Justice were both masters. After the two of them had tested it, they once again determined that Sun Liu had committed suicide by hanging himself. The time for suicide was around the end of Shen and the dynasty. Then the Langguan of Shenzheng and the Langguan of the Ministry of Justice interrogated the slaves in the water room and determined that Sun Liu learned that the deputy general manager who delivered water was not back at His Highness Yu, and sent a young eunuch out to inquire. The young eunuch said, "The slave was ordered by the general manager to go to Yu'an Palace to inquire why the deputy general manager and Zhao Fu and Sun Gui who delivered water did not come back. The slave did not dare to enter Yu'an Palace and found Xiao Zhengzi who cleaned Yu'an Palace. Xiao Zhengzi said that the deputy general manager and Zhao Fu and Sun Gui were beaten and detained in Yu'an Palace. The slave hurried back to report the message to the general manager. After hearing about it, the general manager was a little frightened and went out soon."

“Where did you go?”

"I don't know. The manager didn't bring anyone else."

This is also easy to check. There are guards in each palace gate in the palace. Every day, you can tell who comes in and out. The general manager of Shuifang Sun did not go to the side, but went to Fengyi Palace. The time to arrive at Fengyi Palace was confirmed, so he was around Shenzheng.

It is related to the Central Palace, and without His Majesty's permission, neither the Jingshi Department nor the Minister of Justice dare not disturb him easily.

This news was obviously not unexpected by Emperor Mu Xuan. Emperor Mu Xuan said lightly, "The Empress has told me that Sun Liu of Shuifang made An Zhi unhappy. The Empress asked him to apologize to An Zhi, and he left."

It turned out that Fengyi Palace had a first move, but Mu Anzhi refused to give up. He was not the Emperor Mu Xuan who believed in Fengyi Palace. Mu Anzhi had the qualifications that were not inferior to anyone and had received the best education in the palace. He pointed out the flaws, "This General Manager Sun is so strange. He is a person regulated by Zhou Shao. All things in the harem were the emperor's grandmother. I have always been incompatible with Fengyi Palace. He offended me, but he went to Fengyi Palace, which I deeply disliked. When Fengyi Palace pointed out, he came to apologize to me, and he hanged him when he went back."

"What's even more strange is that he had seen Fengyi Palace before his death and never saw me. In His Majesty's mouth, why did his death have nothing to do with me, but Fengyi Palace? I don't know what Sun Liu at all, and I don't know what he looks like. Why did Your Majesty come to ask me, why didn't he ask the people he saw before his death? What's more, is it the most suspected of the people he saw before his death?" Mu Anzhi asked Emperor Mu Xuan aggressively, "Why does Your Majesty believe in Fengyi Palace but not me? Does Your Majesty have the courage to continue investigating? Do you dare to call Fengyi Palace to come over in front of the Minister of Justice of the Emperor's Grandmother in front of the Minister of Justice of the Shenzheng Department and ask openly?"

No matter how many lights are lit at night, it reflects the room as bright as day, but it is not the real day. Emperor Mu Xuan's eyes are as dark as the dark night and deep sea, and it seems to be condensed with the wind and thunder of the nine provinces. He looked at Mu Anzhi and spoke word by word, like a heavy pound of heavy pressure on the hall. The solemn emperor's power made everyone feel trembling:
