Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 759 Black and White Must Be Clear

In Li Chong's words, it is impossible to overturn the case at this time.And even if it was not too late, Feng's confession could not be used, and other evidence was needed.

Coming out of Jingzhao Mansion, Liu Yunxiang pondered for a long time before deciding to go to the palace.

She is not only for Xiao Wu, but also for Feng Shi, and also for Yan Mu.If Xue Hefeng can be convicted, he will no longer be able to participate in Yan Mu's case, and even the evidence he provided before that Yan Mu colluded with Yanzhou officials will be re-examined.

When she came outside the upper study room, the eunuch next to the emperor stopped her, saying that the emperor was discussing important matters with several ministers, and asked her to wait a moment.

Liu Yunxiang stood at the bottom of the steps and waited, but after a short wait, someone came out from the upper study.She saw Qin Feishi and Yang Guogong first, they both had smiles on their faces, when she saw Liu Yunxiang, that Yang Guogong's face darkened, and he stepped forward to salute slightly.When Qin Fei saw her, he twitched the corner of his mouth, and then walked to her side.

"I would like to remind you that the emperor is in a fit of anger. Going in to intercede for His Highness the Seventh Prince is adding fuel to the flames, so it is best to leave the palace as soon as possible."

Liu Yunxiang turned his head and glanced at Duke Yang, and said calmly: "I think you two have said a lot of good things about His Highness the Seventh Prince in front of the Emperor, right?"

Qin Feishi laughed, "It's not just us."

"Oh?"

"To add insult to injury, we must also pay attention to the strength of the number of people."

Qin Fei raised his eyebrows proudly, and then left with Duke Yang.

Liu Yunxiang raised his head again and saw Lu Changan coming out, beside him was Marquis Yun, the two of them were talking in a low voice, they looked quite friendly.

"King Suping, this Yan Mu is really too arrogant. We went to his house that day to ask for an explanation and didn't want to make a big deal out of it, but he put... a laxative in the tea we drank! "

Lu Changan nodded, "It's really too much."

When they went down the steps, the two saw Liu Yunxiang.

Lu Changan was startled for a moment, then he smiled and stepped forward to salute Liu Yunxiang.Marquis Yun snorted coldly, without even the basic etiquette, flung his sleeves and left.

"Yun Xiang, if you are pleading for His Highness the Seventh Prince, now is not a good time."

"Thank you, Lu Shizi, for reminding me." Liu Yunxiang said calmly.

"I am sorry."

Liu Yunxiang sighed slightly, "Senior Lu, there are some things that should be distinguished from right from wrong. Even if the positions are different, black is black, and white is still white. In the past, you were always firmly on the right side. This is what I admire about you. but now……"

Lu Changan smiled, "Isn't it never clear what is right and what is wrong?"

"No, it's never been clear."

"It seems that you haven't experienced what I have experienced, that's great." After speaking, Lu Changan took a deep look at Liu Yunxiang, and then walked out.

At this time, the little eunuch came out and said that the emperor had summoned him.Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath and stepped up the steps.

In the study room, the emperor sat on the dragon chair with a gloomy expression.He probably thought that Liu Yunxiang was here to invite Yan Mu, so when he saw her, he had an extra stern expression.

After Liu Yunxiang saluted, he first presented a list of the palace's warehouses stolen by Xue Hefeng.

"With 10 taels of cash and hundreds of treasures, your Zhenbei Prince's Mansion has such a big appetite!" The emperor slapped the table angrily.

Liu Yunxiang faced the emperor directly and said: "All these are my business income, not from corruption by His Highness, I can take out the bills and ask Dali Temple to check them one by one."

"Bills can also be fake!"

"If the emperor decides that His Highness the Seventh Highness has been corrupted, then we will have no way to argue. It's just the letter in Xue Hefeng's hand, can't it be faked?"

"Heh, you are so capable, why don't you let this case go to trial!"

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly lowered his head, knowing that the emperor was about to get angry, so he mentioned Feng's retraction case, hoping that the emperor would order a retrial of the case.

The emperor snorted coldly, "Don't think that I don't know what you're planning. You just want to pull Xue Hefeng down so that he can no longer supervise Lao Qi's case."

"The minister's wife just wants to give justice to the dead."

"These high-sounding excuses, do you think you can fool me?"

"emperor……"

"Get out!"

Liu Yunxiang frowned. Before she came, she knew that it would be difficult for the emperor to retry the case of Xiao Wu's murder, but now she has no choice but to take this step at the risk of offending the emperor.

She didn't back down, and was about to intercede again, when the little eunuch came to report that it was the eldest princess who had arrived.

The emperor rubbed his forehead, "Let her in."

Not long after, the eldest princess walked in. When she saw Liu Yunxiang, she frowned, and then stepped forward to salute.The emperor still had a gentle attitude towards the eldest princess, and ordered the little eunuch to move the seat.

Liu Yunxiang took a step back and stood behind the eldest princess.Could it be that she entered the palace at this time because of Yan Mu's affairs, and to make things worse?
"Your Majesty, I have never interfered in political affairs, you know that, right?" the Eldest Princess said.

The emperor nodded, "Miss Huang never cares about these things."

"With the emperor here, our great glory is stable, so I have nothing to worry about."

"Back then, it was the imperial sister and the general who supported me to ascend the throne. I will always remember this friendship."

"You are the younger brother of my mother, and if I don't support you, should I support those outsiders?"

"Yes."

These few words warmed the emperor's heart, and the expression on his face also improved.

"It's just that there is an undercurrent in the court recently. I wonder if the emperor has noticed it?"

"It's really not peaceful."

"Some people are born with ambition."

"Who is the queen talking about?"

The eldest princess shook her head and smiled, "Maybe I'm just worrying about it, but I still want to ask the emperor if I'm thinking about it, the position of the crown prince can't be vacant all the time, the fourth or seventh must be chosen." one."

When mentioning Li Chujun, the emperor's face darkened first.

"Does Huangjie think that the fourth child can handle the heavy responsibility or the seventh child?"

"You have to choose one of them, the emperor can't choose an outsider, right?"

"It's impossible!"

"That's it. No matter the fourth child or the seventh child, they were all born by you, and their palms and backs are full of flesh. I just heard that the seventh child committed a crime. I think this matter needs to be investigated carefully. If it is clear, in case One is that someone deliberately framed Lao Qi with the intention of seizing the throne."

The emperor's expression changed drastically, "Miss Huang said someone is trying to seize the throne?"

"Once the old seventh fell, there was only one fourth old left, so it would be easy to deal with. Also, I just saw King Anqing and Duke Yang, King Suping and Marquis Yun at the gate of the palace. They are really close."

The emperor remembered that these four people all asked him to severely punish Lao Qi, and also said that Lao Qi was so arrogant and domineering on weekdays. He was angry at that time and didn't think much about their purpose behind it.

"I can't sleep at night lately. I always think that the emperor's heirs are weak. Nothing will happen to the fourth and seventh sons. The Qin family's conquered country will naturally be handed over to the Qin family, but it can be handed over to the sons and friends For a nephew or even the queen's nephew, can that be the same?"

"They don't even think about it!"

"So, Lao Qi's case needs to be investigated, but it must be investigated carefully, so as not to let people with evil intentions take advantage of the loopholes."

Hearing this, Liu Yunxiang understood that the eldest princess was speaking for Yan Mu.
