Through Gao Yuanchun's story, Chen Mu probably understood why the court valued the snake demon so much.

I guess I want to investigate the truth of the matter through the mouth of the snake demon.

But since that's the case, why didn't the experts send to investigate a month ago, but instead sent the three fools, Wen Mingren, to come?

Don't want to?

Or are you scrupulous about something?

Perhaps seeing Chen Mu's doubts, Gao Yuanchun said lightly:

"This rumor actually happened last year, but it was really hotly discussed a month ago. It happened that the Ju Chunlou tragedy happened at that time, and it was concluded that it was caused by the snake demon."

"So we should pay more attention to it." Chen Mu was puzzled.

Gao Yuanchun showed a strange smile: "After the death of the late emperor, the new emperor who had just born ascended the throne, but after all, he was young, so the affairs in the court were handled by the queen...the queen later.

Over time, the empress dowager's power gradually expanded, suppressing the Western Factory and reusing the Mingwei for her own use.

Most of the ministers in the court who were dissatisfied with her were gradually cleaned up.

In the fifteen years after the death of the late emperor, the empress dowager can be said to be in charge of the court alone, and there are even rumors that the empress dowager has the appearance of the empress.”

I see!

Chen Mu only truly understood it now.

The Empress Dowager wanted to be emperor, but she did not dare to violate the ancestral teachings.

Seeing the young emperor growing up day by day and reaching the age of being in power, he felt unwilling to accept it.

So he used the incident of Prince Rain Cat to cause some trouble for the young emperor.

If the imperial concubine was really wronged and the prince was wandering among the people, then she could secretly instruct some ministers to obstruct the young emperor from taking power!

After all, this wandering prince is the orthodox heir.

It is the flesh and blood of the late emperor!

Regardless of the result, the ministers in the court will inevitably argue, and the young emperor will face great obstacles if he wants to rule.

As the queen mother, she can continue to control the court.

It's smart!

Even Chen Mu suspected that the message about the injustice of the imperial concubine was secretly spread by her.

Including snake demons knowing secrets, etc.

Gao Yuanchun stood with his hands behind his back: "When the rumors first appeared, there was no big stir in the court, and the empress dowager even came forward to comfort him. But as the rumors became more and more intense, the empress dowager had no choice but to send the underworld guards to investigate."

have no choice?

This word is well used.

Chen Mu just wanted to laugh when he heard this.

No wonder I only sent three fools, Wen Mingren, to catch the monster a month ago. It turned out that the court was still acting.

After almost the performance was done, the Nether Guards were sent to investigate.

This makes me feel helpless, but I am forced to investigate the situation and will not disgrace the young emperor.

"So now you understand why Your Majesty gave you an oral statement."

Gao Yuanchun said lightly.

Chen Mu nodded: "I probably understand."

The young emperor didn't want to sit and wait for death, but there were too few cards in his hand, so it was difficult to interfere directly.

Because once you intervene, it means you don’t trust the Queen Mother.

This is difficult to deal with.

So, I can only find another way.

So the young emperor prepared to re-invest the Ju Chunlou tragedy.

First of all, this case is closely related to the snake demon.

Secondly, Queen Mother, you are sending someone to catch monsters, and I are going to investigate the case, so we are not in conflict.

Gao Yuanchun said: "Although the Empress Dowager was in charge of the court before, she also appropriately delegated power in order to appease the ministers and Your Majesty.

For example, in the Ministry of Justice, Your Majesty has great decision-making power.

This is also why Your Majesty can easily overturn the case and re-invest the investigation, but the Queen Mother cannot stop it. As for you..."

Gao Yuanchun shook his head and smiled, "The role you play in this is not very important, but your ability to investigate cases is worthy of recognition, so His Majesty made a special trip to you for oral instructions.

Your Majesty doesn’t care whether the case is solved or not. He just hopes... the so-called rumor of “the injustice of the Imperial Concubine” is fake.”

Chen Mu laughed at himself.

To put it bluntly, he is just a chess piece.

Taking advantage of the Ju Chunlou case, he investigated the secrets of the snake demon in depth, and smashed the rumors one step ahead of the Queen Mother.

At the same time, I also told others that Chen Mu is the emperor.

In this way, the Mingwei will naturally be wary of me, which will lead me to completely stand on the emperor's side and oppose the empress dowager.

Madon, what a fucking thief!

Chen Mu was depressed.

Gao Yuanchun also understood that Chen Mu's situation was quite difficult at this time and said with a wry smile:

"I originally planned to let you go to the Ministry of Justice first, but now His Majesty's move completely puts you against the Queen Mother and the Ming Guard.

You kid is really sad. You first offended the West Factory, but now you are in opposition to the Empress Dowager.

Alas... I wouldn't have you investigated the Mu Xianger case if I had known about it."

Gao Yuanchun rubbed his eyebrows and had a headache.

Chen Mu asked, "Sir, how do you investigate this case now?"

"Haha, it's up to you to check, but no matter what the process is, the result must be satisfied by Your Majesty. Do you understand?"

Gao Yuanchun's eyes were meaningful.

...

After leaving the inner hall, Chen Mu was in a heavy mood.

This is the sadness of the little person. He is played with as a chess piece at will and cannot break free from the constraints. What a fucking fuck.

"Taiwan."

Zhang Awei, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, hurriedly walked forward, looking nervous, "Are you okay?"

"fine."

Chen Mu looked at the other party and felt relieved when he saw that he was not injured.

"Teacher, actually today-"

"Okay, these are not important anymore."

Chen Mu waved his hand exhaustedly, hugged his shoulder and said, "Go to your house first and report your mother peace."

When we arrived at Zhang Awei's house, Meng Yanqing was still waiting anxiously.

Seeing her son coming back safely, the beautiful woman's tense nerves finally relaxed and tears fell.

The swollen almond eyes were also very pitying.

Zhang Awei was both guilty and moved.

The anger that had previously had a quarrel with her mother because of the incident with Xiao Xun also disappeared.

Of course, dinner was eaten by Zhang Awei's house.

In order to thank Chen Mu for saving his son, Meng Yanqing personally cooked a lot of food.

Unfortunately, Chen Mu was in a bad mood. He picked up a few sips of vegetables and drank silently, which made the beautiful woman mistakenly think that she had performed poorly and had not prepared the meal well. She was unhappy for a long time.

"Ban Tou, is there any investigation in the Ju Chunlou case? More than a month has passed? All the bodies are burned."

Zhang Awei frowned with thick eyebrows.

Although the tragedy more than a month ago is still vivid in my mind, Gao Yuanchun refused to allow the investigation at that time, which led to Chen Mu not even having the chance to have an autopsy.

Now we have to overturn the case again, so we will investigate the yarn.

All the clues are gone.

Chen Mu grabbed the food and smiled and said, "It is definitely possible to investigate, but His Majesty's meaning is very clear. Either he catches the snake demon first and smashes the rumors of the raccoon cat changing to the prince, or... directly find out that the Ju Chunlou case has nothing to do with the snake demon."

"Is that really relevant?"

Zhang Awei asked curiously.
