Chef Mad Queen

Chapter 1161
"It's so?" Feng Qian was very surprised. Such a frugal and simple Liu Shangshu was completely different from the Liu Shangshu she saw on the pleadings. Could it be that someone really deliberately framed Liu Shangshu?

"What about the others? What does Liu Shangshu look like in your eyes?"

The ministers looked at each other, and then some people came forward to speak out one after another.

"Liu Shangshu has always been strict with himself by being honest and honest, and he is a model for our younger generations."

"In addition to being honest and honest, Shangshu Liu is also a kind and charitable person."

"Liu Shangshu has been in charge of the Ministry of Officials for many years, and has recommended many outstanding talents for the imperial court, and what he hates the most is the practice of favoritism..."

Listening to the words of the ministers, Feng Qian looked at Liu Shangshu secretly again, and began to doubt herself. Could it be that she was really wrong, and the anonymous pleading against Liu Shangshu was fake?In other words, the report box proposal that I worked so hard to come up with didn't work at all?Instead, it was used by someone with a heart, and became a weapon to attack certain court officials?
In the morning, Feng Qian asked about the situation of several other ministers, in order to dispel Liu Shangshu's wariness and confuse the public, but in her heart, Feng Qian put a big question mark on Liu Shangshu.

What kind of person is he?

A frugal and honest official, or a hypocritical and greedy corrupt official?
After coming down to court, Eunuch Du was waiting at the gate of the palace. When he saw Liu Shangshu, he stepped forward and said, "Lord Liu, please wait. Your Majesty has ordered you to sort out a list of all the officials in the Ministry of Officials and send them to the palace in person. mistaken."

"My minister complies with the order. Eunuch Du, besides these, does Your Majesty have anything else to tell me?"

"Lord Liu, it's gone. You have to do your best, and don't disappoint His Majesty's appreciation. Alright, we have other things to do in the palace, so I'll take my leave first."

"Eunuch Du, go slowly."

Eunuch Du returned to the palace and replied to Feng Qian: "Your Majesty, the slave has already followed your instructions and sent Liu Shangshu to the Ministry of Officials to organize the roster of officials."

Feng Qian nodded with satisfaction: "Very well, when he enters the palace for a business, you can hold him back for me, the longer the better."

Eunuch Du showed curiosity: "Your Majesty, you want to..."

Feng Qian interrupted him: "I have my own opinion, you should step down first, I have other things to do."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave will retire."

After seeing Eunuch Du leave, Feng Qian changed into casual clothes and left the palace quietly.

Outside the palace gate, Tang Chenyu and Feng Qingyu had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Feng Qian leaving the palace, they immediately went up to greet her.

"Master, we have already inquired. Liu Shangshu's house is in Zhima Hutong in the west of the city. The place is too remote and too far away. Let's walk there. It may take half an hour." Tang Chenyu said, received The news from Master asked him to investigate Liu Shangshu's residence, so he immediately did some investigation in advance.

Since Master ascended the throne, the two brothers and sisters did not intend to return to their respective sects and trade unions for the time being, but wanted to stay and assist Master to help Master stabilize the foundation.

Feng Qian thought for a while: "Does Liu Shangshu usually go home in a sedan chair, or on foot?"

Tang Chenyu replied: "I heard that he walked home."

"Then let's go on foot too." Feng Qian led the way and walked towards the west of the city.

Tang Chenyu and Feng Qingyu hurriedly followed, and the three of them, the master, left the palace gate.

Entering Zhima Hutong, we went round and round along the way, took several turns, and turned several alleys, but still did not find Liu Shangshu's mansion.

"Brother, are you sure you have investigated the location of Liu's Mansion? We have gone around two streets and turned several alleys, why haven't we arrived yet?" Feng Qingyu said impatiently.

Tang Chenyu looked around, then looked at the address slip in his hand, he was also confused: "That's right, it's here."

Suddenly pointing to an unremarkable house at the end of the alley, he said, "Look, it should be there!"

Feng Qingyu was puzzled: "It's not right! This courtyard is so remote, it doesn't look like a mansion of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials."

Feng Qian observed the surroundings carefully: "Although this place is remote, it is also clean and tidy, and it is a kind of quiet mood."

Feng Qingyu whispered disgustedly: "It's so clean that even a beggar doesn't like to come here."

Feng Qian lightly knocked on his forehead: "Don't talk nonsense, why don't you knock on the door?"

Feng Qingyu stepped forward and knocked on the door, but no one answered. He knocked several times and still no one answered. He turned his head to look at Feng Qian, saw Feng Qian nodded, and pushed the door open.

When the three of them entered the yard, they were completely stunned by the sight in the yard.The yard was surprisingly quiet, except for the voices of Feng Qian's master and apprentice, there were also a few birds chirping.Weeds are overgrown everywhere in the yard, and there are some withered flower branches.There was also a big hole in the roof of the wing house on the left side of the yard, and the windows were in disrepair and creaked when blown by the wind.It looked like it hadn't been taken care of for a long time. It didn't look like the mansion of an important court official at all, but rather like a down-and-out merchant's house in a play.

"Master, you still said that here is a quiet place, I think it is a quiet place, or a 'quiet' spirit!" Feng Qingyu looked disgusted.

Tang Chenyu jokingly said: "I asked you to read more books a long time ago. These two 'you' are the same word. What's the difference?"

Hearing the conversation between the two apprentices, Feng Qian smiled helplessly and awkwardly.

When the three of them watched the courtyard, a woman dressed as a servant girl came over with a bucket of water. Looking at the three people who had entered uninvited, she asked warily, "Who are you? How dare you break into our office?" Lord Shang Shuliu's mansion?"

Feng Qian stepped forward and said, "Miss, don't be afraid. I am the female official beside the queen. The queen specially ordered me to visit Mrs. Liu when she heard that Mrs. Liu's wife had been ill for a long time. Please also ask the girl to take us to see Mrs. Liu."

When the servant girl heard that it was from the palace, or a female official sent by the queen, she immediately bowed respectfully: "It turns out that you are an adult from the palace, please come with your servant!"

Feng Qian and the others followed the maidservants to Mrs. Liu's residence. Before they got close to the house, they heard the woman's coughing from inside the house.Feng Qian paused, and said to Tang Chenyu and Feng Qingyu, "It's inconvenient for men to enter the women's boudoir, so you two can stay in the yard."

"Yes."

"Yes."

Tang Chenyu and Feng Qingyu stayed outside the door, and Feng Qian followed the maid into the room.

"Ma'am, there are people from the palace, saying that Her Majesty the Queen has sent to visit you."

The maid stepped forward to report, and opened the gauze curtain hanging on the bed, revealing Mrs. Liu lying inside.I saw Mrs. Liu lying on the bed with a haggard look, her face was as waxy and bloodless, she didn't have any strength in her body, and it was very laborious to breathe out.

As soon as she heard that it was a female officer sent by the Queen, Madam Liu immediately struggled to get up: "Quick, help me up."

After speaking, he had to brace his body and get out of bed to salute.

Feng Qian hurriedly stopped her: "Ma'am, you don't need to be too polite, you just need to take good care of your body, don't pay attention to these empty etiquettes."
