witch chaotic country

Shu Yun has long heard that the guards at Yuntai Temple are comparable to the Forbidden Palace.In order to prevent anyone from hurting Yuntai Guan, His Majesty increased the guards of the Zhenxi Army from one thousand to three thousand, which is equal to the guards in the East Palace.

He had long heard that the empress would not see outsiders, and Shu Yun was prepared to explain to the guards before he could enter the door. Who would have thought that just as his horse stopped in front of the Taoist temple, a female crown would come out to welcome him in.

Shuyun followed the female crown all the way, his heart kept beating, how did the audience know that he was coming?
As the leader of the Jinwu Guard who is in charge of the security of Pingcheng, this Yuntai Guan Shuyun has also been here several times before.But for some reason, the bricks and tiles of the Taoist temple seem to be the same as before, but they are completely different from the memory.

The female crown led him all the way to Tan Yaoyu's residence.The door there was open, but a screen was erected inside the door.Through the tulle of the screen and the candlelight in the room, one can faintly see a person sitting leaning on the screen behind the screen. It looks like a Yuntai Guan empress.

The people behind the screen were wearing very loose clothes, so they couldn't tell anything at first, but Shu Yun keenly noticed that Yuntai Guanniang was much thinner than before.Because every small move of the person behind the screen can make the wide cuffs dangle.

For a moment, Shu Yun forgot what he was here for, but began to figure out when His Majesty last saw Yuntai Guanniang.Based on his understanding of Yuntai Guanniangniang, she is definitely not someone who cares about the defenses of men and women, so why did the screen be erected today?
Seeing Shu Yun standing at the door in a daze, Tan Yaoyu took the lead and asked, "Master Shu, did you find out what I wanted to know?"

Shocked, Shu Yun woke up from his wild thoughts, and hurriedly knelt down to Tan Yaoyu and replied, "Although I don't know if it's what the empress wants to know, but I feel that I still need to inform the empress."

As Shuyun said, he took out a roll of bamboo slips from his bosom, held it with both hands and held it above his head.A female crown serving at the side stepped forward, picked up the letter and turned it behind the screen.

Through the veil of the screen, Shuyun saw that the female crown unfolded the bamboo slips and held them in front of Tan Yaoyu. Tan Yaoyu leaned there all the time, just tilted his head to look at it for a while, and signaled the female crown to return the bamboo slips.

On the bamboo slips is the confession of a servant.Said that before the prince's accident, he saw a rather luxurious carriage driving out of the palace through the side door where the palace people came in and out.And the guards of the forbidden army who guarded the gate didn't even check who was in the carriage.

Although this confession did not point out anything directly, it gave people enough room for speculation.

Tan Yaoyu asked softly, "What do you think, Master Uncle?"

Shu Yun swallowed, he suddenly regretted it.Why did I rush to the Yuntai Temple after finding out such ambiguous clues?This is obviously not his usual style of investigation!
This matter seems to be the negligence of the imperial guards at the palace gate, but Shu Yun has been investigating the case for so many years, even if there is a trace of fishy smell in the wind, he can't escape his nose.He was very sure that there was something wrong with it, but he didn't dare to say it, because it involved the Prince's case after all, and anyone who said a wrong word would be killed!
Tan Yaoyu seemed to sense his sudden panic and nervousness, and gently lifted his chin to the female crown beside him, and the female crown saluted and retreated, and closed the door, leaving Shuyun and Tan Yaoyu alone Talk through the screen.

Seeing the person behind the screen sitting up slowly, Shu Yun's voice became serious, "Master Uncle, you might as well say what's on your mind. Since you choose to come to see Bengong, you should be clear in your heart that Bengong has nothing to do with this matter." Uncle is an ally."

Shu Yun took a deep breath, he understood that the reason why Tan Yaoyu sent the palace servants directly to the Jinwu Guard was because he believed that his Shu Yun could find out something.And these clues may seem nothing to others, but Tan Yaoyu will definitely take them seriously.

"I guess..." Shu Yun hesitated for a moment before saying, "Prince Jingmu's escape from the palace may be a play. He is very likely...sent out of the palace..."

"Why do you have such a guess?" Tan Yaoyu continued to ask, "Only because of a carriage that has not been searched? Anyone can sit in that carriage."

"Chen..." Shu Yun swallowed.Faced with Tan Yaoyu's question, there was an illusion that he was stepping into a trap step by step, as if Tan Yaoyu was hooking him, spit out the guess he was most afraid to say.

"I'm always a little strange... If it is said that the prince defected from the palace...why didn't any of the imperial guards guarding the East Palace follow... If the prince really wanted to rebel...why didn't he bring someone with him? Even the princess was left behind in the East Palace I don't know."

Tan Yaoyu's sigh came from behind the screen, "Unless...he was forced. Or he was made a scapegoat when he was powerless to resist."

Shu Yun was a little excited when he heard the words, because he has been investigating cases all the year round, he is a little suspicious about everything.Tan Yaoyu's words proved that he was obviously not thinking too much.

"Your Majesty!" Shu Yun knelt a step forward, "As long as the imperial guards who were guarding that day are detained for interrogation, there will be a result!"

"You really think so?" Tan Yaoyu's voice was full of chills, "The person who dares to kill the prince will care about the lives of a few forbidden soldiers? Before your majesty cleared the forbidden army, many people were dismissed. I guess, The guards guarding the gate must have been dismissed from their official positions, and the corpses may have been completely cooled."

Tan Yaoyu knows Zong Ai's insidiousness, and she is even more aware of Qiao Nu's hatred for her.These two people will never leave any clues waiting for her to investigate.

Shu Yun was a little discouraged, he knew Tan Yaoyu was right.

"Should we just let these people stay with His Majesty? Even the crown prince dares to kill, what else are these people afraid to do?"

Tan Yaoyu smiled and said, "I should thank Master Uncle for going to the Yuntai Temple today. I also want Master Uncle to send a message for me."

Shu Yun was puzzled, "What is your errand?"

After half an hour, Shu Yun came out of Yuntai Temple, and went to the palace gate without any delay.Holding Tan Yaoyu's waist card, he went directly to see Tuoba Tao all the way, shunned everyone, and had a secret talk with Tuoba Tao in the dormitory for half an hour.

Shu Yun knelt in front of Tuoba Tao uncomfortably, looking at Tuoba Tao's face as black as a pan.

"You mean, you caught the murderer of the prince, and you want me to give him an imperial decree to save him from death?!"

Shu Yun felt that His Majesty would get up and draw his sword to cut him off at any time, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty said, although this person has committed a heinous crime, he is not the mastermind. I don't know why the mastermind has something to do with this person. Even if the minister tortures him severely, he will not confess. What the empress means is to try to use both soft and hard methods."

Tuoba Tao gritted his teeth and stood up, then sat down fiercely, obviously not reconciled to just pardoning the traitor who killed his son!

But in the end he sat down at the desk, scribbled an imperial decree of pardon with his eyes wide open, and slammed it on Shuyun, "Get lost! If you still can't make the thief confess, I'll take your head off Already!"

Shuyun is really dumb at this time and eats coptis.The idea was not his idea, but the head to lose was his head!
Ma'am——you have caused me so much pain——
