The person who came was the chief official of the Jiuying Protectorate, and also the Great Entropy Yin Xinhou, Nalan Yanhua.
The Crown Prince said that he was already in his forties this year, but it was nothing like that.
About half an hour later, Xue Junyou was taken to Qianxuan Palace by Yin Xinhou. Qianxuan Palace is where His Majesty the Emperor handles government affairs. This was the first time for Xue Junyou, who was a businessman, to come here.
Entering Qianxuan Palace, Xue Junyou was taken to a small Nuan Pavilion next to it.
There are only three people sitting in the Nuan Pavilion at this time. Except for the empty upper seat, there are many seats in the room.
Xue Junyou didn't dare to sit down, because the people sitting here were not ordinary ministers.
The only people Xue Junyou had seen were the Prime Minister, the Crown Prince and the Tutor, as well as a man sitting in the lower position, wearing a golden armor. He recognized this style, and he was the Imperial Palace Guards' Huben Army.
I think he must be someone who can take care of things and speak his mind.
"Sit anywhere."
When Nalan Yanhua saw Xue Junyou standing outside, he said casually, "This is just a resting place. There is no need for the Nine Prince Consort to be restrained."
"Thank you, Marquis Yinxin, I feel quite warm even standing."
Xue Junyou said with a warm smile, thinking to himself that with so many big shots, he is so bold that he dares to be on an equal footing with you.
Xue Junyou chose an inconspicuous place to stand, but when he should be eye-catching, he seemed to be shining brightly everywhere.
Everyone's eyes seemed to be glancing here vaguely, but they were just staring. No one spoke for the time being. Even Uncle Shi, who was already familiar with Xue Junyou, did not say much on this occasion. .
After a long time, Nalan Yanhua, who had just sat down and asked for a cup of tea from the little eunuch who was also waiting in the corner, said softly: "An assassin has entered the harem."
"But caught?"
The middle-aged man wearing the armor of the Tiger Army looked at Nalan Yanhua and seemed a little shocked: "Why haven't I heard anyone report this matter?"
Nalan Yanhua looked at the man and smiled warmly: "Wei Yinghou is presiding over the imperial army's war today at Huben Camp. Naturally, I found out a little late, but I think someone should be looking for you at this moment."
Wei Yinghou is the title of the Dou family of those three families. The middle-aged man sitting in the Nuan Pavilion at the moment is named Dou Zhao. He is currently the general of the Tiger Guard and is in charge of the palace's 70,000 forbidden troops.
The generals of Huben and Zhonglang in the past dynasties did not have such great military power, but in your Majesty's current dynasty, Generals of Huben and Zhonglang are actual generals.
After all, His Majesty was in an unfair position and was too suspicious, so he enlarged the army by 70,000 tigers and placed one of his most trusted subordinates in charge.
At this time, in this small Nuan Pavilion, three marquises whose inheritance had lasted for thousands of years were gathered together with a prince and tutor who was in charge of all the troops in the capital.
The few young eunuchs waiting around were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe.
The conversation in the Nuan Pavilion is still going on.
Wei Yinghou Dou Zhao was still inquiring about the assassins in the harem, but Nalan Yanhua seemed to have been prepared to direct the question to the discoverer.
"Nine Prince Consort."
Nalan Yanhua cast his warm gaze on Xue Junyou in the distance, "Weren't you the first assassin discovered in Ning'an Palace? Come and tell Wei Yinghou."
Xue Junyou was about to speak when he suddenly heard Sikong Qiye, who had been silent beside him, ask him first: "Oh? My nephew has also gone to Ning'an Palace. It should be Princess Anyang who asked you to go and see it. Right? After all, the prince-in-law cannot enter the ancestral temple to pay homage to Concubine Gongsun."
When Xue Junyou heard this, he understood what Uncle Shi meant. It was indeed against the palace rules to enter the harem without justifiable reasons.
So he nodded to Sikong Qiye: "Yes, I did go after getting the princess's approval. However, visiting the former residence of the imperial concubine was my own initiative, not the princess who asked me to go."
This kid is very protective of his wife, much better than those consorts who can't even beat her with a stick.
Sikong Qiye nodded, turned around and picked up a bowl of celadon tea cup next to him, sipping the strong tea without saying anything more.
Although Xue Junyou's words put a lot of responsibility on himself, it made Lin Yi, who was sitting next to His Majesty, slowly open his eyes.
Seeing that no one was talking, Xue Junyou clasped his hands and saluted Wei Yinghou. After the ceremony, he stood up and replied:
"I don't know much about the assassin, but as soon as I entered the imperial concubine's bedroom, I saw a man in black groping for something on the bed. Just as I was about to catch him from behind, I saw a poisonous snake scurry out. After that,
So he called the black-armored knight guarding outside the door to help. But... the assassin seemed to have something inside, so he finally let him run away."
"That means there are two people who sneaked into Ning'an Palace."
Dou Zhao carefully analyzed what Xue Junyou said, and then asked: "Did you see what the assassin was looking for in the Ning'an Palace dormitory?"
"It looks like a box."
Xue Junyou nodded and took out a few crumpled deed papers from his sleeves, which were exactly the ones Shi Quan showed him before.
Before coming, he had made full preparations to be discovered. When the time came, he would find the things that Princess Gongsun had hidden. If someone searched her, he would use these things to conceal her secrets.
Although the original plan was to put the box taken from the dormitory to Yun Ni's place, everything happened so suddenly that Xue Junyou had no choice but to hand the wooden box to the crown prince.
"I snatched these pictures from the assassin. I originally wanted to give them to Heijia, but I was injured and went to the Tai Hospital, so I kept them in my hands."
Xue Junyou said, planning to hand those deed papers to Wei Yinghou.
However, after taking only a few steps, he was overtaken by Yin Xinhou.
Nalan Yanhua stood in front of Xue Junyou, looked at the deed papers carefully, and finally said with a trace of doubt on his face: "Nine Prince Consort, are these really what you snatched from the assassin? That wooden box
What does it look like?”
"It's a very delicate wooden box, it seems to be made of mahogany, about the size of a rouge box." Xue Junyou said truthfully, since the assassin had run away anyway, any dirty water could be poured on him.
After hearing Xue Junyou's words, Nalan Yanhua was doubtful, because the owners of these deeds were all Ma Jiu, and the original owners were Dongling Hou Wang Zhang.
These things were the evidence that the Jiuying Protectorate was originally looking for. However, the fact that these things appeared in the dormitory of Concubine Gongsun, who had been deceased for many years, was too puzzling.
Nalan Yanhua showed the deed paper to Wei Yinghou, and Wei Yinghou Dou Zhao was also confused.
I don't understand why Concubine Gongsun kept the deed of a commoner's name, and it was never transferred.
Just when the atmosphere was silent, an old eunuch suddenly broke the silence and announced in a sharp voice His Majesty's decree, temporarily allowing the Nine Prince Consort to enter the Qianxuan Hall to face the Holy Spirit.
... ... ...
Xue Junyou followed the old eunuch into Qianxuan Hall. There was no one in the hall except a thin middle-aged man lying on a wicker chair and reading a book.
It is still a book written entirely in Ming Chinese.
Xue Junyou suddenly had many doubts in his heart. Shouldn't the Great Entropy have a feud with the Ming Kingdom?
But His Majesty, the Emperor of Great Entropy, has read Mingguo people’s books. Is it possible that he is planning to make good friends?
Hearing the noise in the palace, Luo Yexuan put down his book and looked at Xue Junyou with a hawk-like face.
His face was calm, but Xue Junyou always felt panicked in his heart.
After all, he was a ruthless man who even killed his brothers and sisters.
"sit."
Luo Yexuan sat up and raised his hand, "Looking at your appearance, you don't seem too shocked to see me."
Xue Junyou knew why His Majesty the Emperor said this. It was naturally about what happened in the prison of the Ministry of Justice last time. There is no need to show off for such things. It was your idea, so I won’t be shocked when I see it today.”
"You are quite smart."
The corners of Luo Yexuan's mouth were slightly raised, like a well-fed wolf king, "I heard you were injured?"
Xue Junyou was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"How's it going? Is it serious?"
"It's not serious, I just hurt my arm."
"Oh." Luo Yexuan took a breath, raised his head, thought for a moment, and then said: "I was scratched by a Qiang dog when I was married to Anyang, and the wound opened again when I beat the bully. This time I went to the palace to see if The place where Fei lives was injured again... "
After Luo Yexuan finished speaking, he thought for a long time, then shook his head as if he had thought of something, and said, "Your luck is quite similar to that of one of my best friends."
"Who is it?" Xue Junyou asked.
Luo Yexuan opened his mouth and replied: "Li Cong."
Xue Junyou was silent. He was actually Marquis Zhonglie. It seemed that he might really look like Marquis Zhonglie. He never expected that he was so popular that he actually inherited the name of a deceased hero.
One day, he will definitely go to Jieshikou, Dongzhou, to pay homage to General Li Cong and the 300,000 dead soldiers and civilians.
While I was thinking, the voice of His Majesty the Emperor came to my ears.
"Tell me about it."
Luo Yexuan looked at Xue Junyou who was thoughtful: "That assassin from Ning'an Palace."
After half a stick of incense, Xue Junyou once again explained the details to His Majesty the Emperor, which was naturally what he had said before in Nuange.
After hearing this, Luo Yexuan seemed to be as doubtful as Nalan Yanhua, but there were no outsiders here. He directly opened his mouth to test Xue Junyou and said: "The idea of concealing the truth is a good idea, but boy, is it true that you can fight? , but why can’t his brain turn around? Can Ma Jiu’s deed paper and the things Ruofei left behind during her lifetime be from the same time?"
Xue Junyou was shocked. He had already thought about how to prepare his speech, but he thought about it carefully.
There was no time on the deeds he brought. They were land deeds and house deeds. They only had the certificates transferred to Ma Jiu by the Marquis of Dongling. There was no time.
So Xue Junyou felt slightly emboldened and replied: "It was indeed Wei Chen who snatched it from the assassin. As for why, Wei Chen doesn't know."
Luo Yexuan nodded in response, then fixed his eyes on Xue Junyou's eyes, and looked at each other carefully for two or three breaths.
He took a breath and his face suddenly became serious: "My child, you are panicking. Why don't you drink some tea and eat something first, and then think about how to answer."
Xue Junyou saw that the glaring face suddenly turned serious, and his heart trembled. He thought about it carefully, and then said: "Then... Your Majesty, please give me a cup of light tea first.
