Chapter 55 You Are My Sister

In the lobby of the Heiya Center, the atmosphere was solemn. Several civil servants kept summarizing the reported news, while the chief arrester was on standby, and set off to inspect as soon as there was news.

Dongfang Liren sat in front of the hall, commanding and dispatching the staff.Assassinated last night, she thought that the empress would call her into the palace to scold her, and she has been waiting for the imperial decree from the palace.

But what I didn't expect was that the messenger from the palace didn't come, a palace maid ran to the lobby and whispered in my ear:
"Your Highness, the Holy Spirit is here..."

"Um?!"

There was a man hiding on Dongfang Liren's bed. Hearing this, his face turned pale, and he asked nervously:
"The Holy Majesty is in Mingyu Tower?"

"No, I'm waiting for His Highness in the garden, let you hurry over."

Dongfang Liren secretly heaved a sigh of relief, quickly got up and straightened his robes, and after walking out of the Heiya lobby, he whispered:
"Hurry up and tell Ye Jingtang to go back, and leave through the back door, so as not to be caught by the Holy One."

"The servant girl understands."

After making arrangements, Dongfang Liren suppressed the chaotic emotions in his heart, and led the maid slowly through the Mingyu Tower to the palace garden where a hundred flowers bloomed.

The Wangfu Garden is very large, and there is a lake on the side of Mingyu Tower, where thousands of colorful koi are raised.

In the veranda by the lake, the Great Wei Empress in a red dress leaned against the beauty, holding a porcelain cup and feeding the fish.Several palace maids stood respectfully and bowed their heads not far away, waiting for orders.

Dongfang Liren asked the maids to retreat, and came to the front alone:

"Sister, why are you here?"

The empress looked at the koi in the pond, and said in a very friendly tone:

"You were assassinated by a traitor yesterday, so I will naturally come to visit you. Sit down."

Dongfang Liren hesitated for a while, and sat next to him. The silver fat-headed dragon python suit on his body was put together with the empress's red dress, which gave him a feeling of ice and fire.

"My sister just went to Mingyu Tower to look for me?"

"Seeing that you were busy with business in Heiya, you didn't go up."

"Oh……"

Dongfang Liren was relieved: "I didn't go wrong last night, but the assassin hasn't been found yet. I will definitely do my best to patrol and catch the thief..."

The empress turned her head and looked at her good sister beside her:
"Who was escorting you last night? It's not a small skill to be able to prevent Xue Bodhi."

Dongfang Liren didn't dare to blatantly deceive the Empress, so he thought for a while and said:

"It's a new helper from Hei Ya, named Ye Jing Tang, a son of Tianshuiqiao merchant family, with good martial arts skills, I plan to recruit Hei Ya and let him hold an important position..."

"The vigilance is so high, and he is loyal and fearless, so it is natural to entrust him with a heavy responsibility. If the thief has not been caught yet, if he sneaks into the palace and causes trouble, it is difficult to explain to the courtiers. Let that Ye Jingtang, recently patrol with the black yamen master In the Imperial City, the Empress Dowager is timid, and she was also frightened yesterday, so she often patrols around the Fushou Palace so that the Empress Dowager can sleep more peacefully."

Ok?
Dongfang Liren is baffled—it’s nothing to inspect the palace, but asking Ye Jingtang to inspect the Empress Dowager’s bedroom will not lead wolves into the house... No, send sheep into the mouth of tigers?

The empress dowager, who was impatient in spring, found that she could still sleep?

It's hard to say this clearly, Dongfang Liren just said euphemistically:

"Yejingtang protected me last night and was injured..."

The empress had just seen the lively Ye Jingtang just now, and asked with concern:

"The injury is serious? Do you want to send the imperial doctor to take a look?"

Dongfang Liren was not very easy to answer, so he hesitated:

"It's not too heavy. I'll be able to do the inspection. I'll arrange it later. Hmm... Xue Bodhi is really powerful. I sent people to the imperial city. I don't know if I live in the palace. Look at my sister so that the people below won't be distracted."

The empress saw that her younger sister wanted to go to the palace and continue to have a sweet relationship with her lover.She asked Ye Jingtang to inspect the palace, just to fulfill Ye Jingtang's desire to see the thousand-year-old tree, but she didn't say anything about it:
"That's good. There are a lot of affairs in the DPRK and China recently. With your help, I can relax a bit. By the way, you are not young. I asked you to choose a husband and son-in-law. Recently, you have found something."

Dongfang Liren sat up straight: "Sister, why are you bringing this up again? You don't have anyone to sleep with. As a younger sister, if I have a good candidate, I should give it to my sister first. How can I get ahead of you."

?

Liren, are you really ashamed to say this?

The empress took a deep look at her younger sister, she couldn't explain what she said in her heart, and she didn't point it out, she just cast her eyes on the lake:
"Heh~ I'm just afraid that you will be in a hurry and do something stupid."

"My sister is worrying too much, how can I be anxious... anxious..."

Dongfang Liren looked at the fish food thrown by the empress, but saw a... one... at the bottom of the clear lake.

! !
Dongfang Liren's cold, arrogant and noble cheeks froze, his eyes showed shock and bewilderment!
The empress sighed softly: "The objects used in the boudoir can be seen in the garden if you throw them around casually. I really dare not think about how many things are hidden in the house."

Dongfang Liren's scalp was numb, and he recalled a little - the queen mother said yesterday that Hongyu should throw away this dirty thing...

Dare to love Hongyu, this dead girl, and throw her at the king's door? !
I'm afraid your brain is flooded...

Seeing that his sister had misunderstood, Dongfang Liren quickly explained:

"No, sister, listen to my explanation. This thing was thrown away by the Queen Mother..."

The empress saw Ye Jingtang destroying the corpses with her own eyes, and seeing her younger sister pushing the matter to the Queen Mother, she couldn't express what she said in her heart:

"Hey~ You're not too young anymore. It's normal to yearn for sex between a man and a woman. If you find a man you like, tell me, no matter what, you'll be warmer than a stone..."

Seeing that her sister didn't believe her, Dongfang Liren could only explain the ins and outs of this thing carefully, and then ordered in a cold voice:

"Come here, pick up this thing and throw it away, then pull Wang Chihu out and punish him for twenty sticks, and then dare to come up with bad ideas..."

The Empress originally thought that her younger sister and Ye Jingtang had developed to the point of using props between the beds to add to the fun.

But when she saw Li Ren's innocent reaction from embarrassment to anger, she didn't feel like it, so the Empress shook her head and said:
"Forget it, Wang Chihu's original intention was to eliminate harm for the people, I was just joking with you. Are you sure you have no crush?"

Dongfang Liren didn't want to talk about this topic with his sister at all, so he interrupted:

"No, let's not talk about this. Hmm... My sister likes poetry the most. What good works have she won recently? Tell me, and I will comment on one or two for my sister."

The empress leaned against the fence, stroking her forehead with her hand, and could see the helplessness between her brows:
"Yes~ until autumn comes, September [-]th, when my flowers bloom, the flowers will kill. The sky is full of fragrance, and the whole city is full of golden armor. What do you think?"

Dongfang Liren is proficient in poems and songs. When he heard this poem, his eyebrows became a little more dignified:

"This poem is very murderous, and it seems to have the intention of disobedience to the court...Who wrote it? I will arrest it and interrogate it."

"No need."

The empress threw some fish food into the lake:

"The higher-ups must be tolerant of others. They are not allowed to write, and they are not allowed to speak anywhere. The prison of chasing wind and shadows to promote writing shows a guilty conscience. I never care about literati's pen and ink."

"Goodbye, sister..."
