Chapter 968
The post of the palace banquet was quickly sent to the palace.

Now that Yin Heng is not in the capital, Meng Yan has to go to the palace alone to face it, how can the housekeeper in the palace be at ease.

With a plain face, Meng Yan picked out a gorgeous dress, pulled her hair back in front of the mirror, and added the same gorgeous makeup.

The thin cheeks, coupled with the bright red lips, made his face pale and pale.

The mother said: "How about sending someone to tell the palace that the princess should not go."

Meng Yan was still using lip balm to trace the lips, which looked as gorgeous as blood, and said nonchalantly, "Now I have nothing to worry about, so what are you afraid of?"

***
In the imperial banquet, the emperor sits alone at the head, and the harem concubines and the royal family sit on both sides of the banquet hall.

Meng Yan was also among them.Others are husband and wife, but she is alone.

This is the first time she has appeared in front of people since the fire in the palace.As a result, it attracted a lot of attention from others.

Her clothes and makeup are red and purple, which makes her look even more creepy.

The female relatives at the banquet couldn't help whispering, they heard that Princess Yin Wu was crazy, she appeared here dressed like this, it really didn't look normal.

It's just that she tried her best to appear normal.

The emperor looked at her vaguely, and expressed his condolences to her, and she responded clearly.

Then she concentrated on eating.She tasted it herself, and then pushed all the dishes that she thought were delicious to the empty seats beside her, and even picked up some with chopsticks and spoons, muttering to the air.

"Come on, dear, Lian, Lin, eat more to grow taller."

She waited for a while, and then said: "Why don't you eat, do you want mother to feed you?"

She stretched out her chopsticks and went forward to feed.But there was no one in front of her. As soon as she loosened her chopsticks, the dishes fell to the ground.

Meng Yan immediately put down the chopsticks angrily, lectured to the air, and said: "If you are picky about food, don't eat it!"

This scene is so weird.

Eunuch Huang couldn't help asking: "Who is the princess talking to?"

Meng Yan ignored it and immersed herself in her own world.

At this moment, a concubine in the harem couldn't help but say: "My concubine is seriously ill, I think it's better to invite the imperial doctor..."

Before she could finish speaking, Meng Yan suddenly raised her head, staring at the speaker with cold and fierce eyes, which made the concubine's words stuck in her throat.

Chongyi's complexion changed, and he said: "The princess can't hear this!"

Meng Yan described that she suddenly became very anxious, trembling all over, her eyes wandered, her eyes kept looking back and forth on the table, and then she reached out and grabbed a tea cup, and threw it unceremoniously towards the concubine.

The concubine was so frightened that she screamed: "Are you crazy?!"

That night, no one in this hall could eat a meal in peace.

Dinner was spilled on the carpet, glasses and plates were broken.The female relatives screamed.

Seeing this, Chongyi hurriedly stepped forward to hug Meng Yan, and said, "Princess, the princess is watching, you can't do this!"

When the child was mentioned, Meng Yan was taken aback, and then slowly calmed down.

As if waking up from a dream, she quickly straightened her appearance, turned her head, and quickly regained her composure. She looked at the air over her banquet table, and then faced the emperor sitting there, trying to maintain her sobriety. Li said: "Your Majesty, the children have been in school for five days, and they should rest tomorrow. May my wife take them back to the palace tonight?"

The emperor looked at her ponderously, and said for a while, "Yes."

Then the emperor was not in the mood to eat any more, so he left first.

He asked Mr. Huang beside him, "What do you think? Is the princess really crazy?"

Eunuch Huang said: "This old slave has blind eyes. This old slave only knows that it is easy for a normal person to pretend to be crazy, but it is really difficult for a crazy person to try to pretend to be normal."

The emperor sighed: "Either, this Princess Yin Wu is really crazy, or she acted so well that even you and I can't see the clue."

***
The border came to report that King Wu of Yin had led his army to the northern border to confront Jin Lin.

The rout in the north was finally brought under control.

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the news.

Only this war will begin.

Immediately afterwards, Dali Temple Qing Yan Shouzhen begged to see the emperor with a very solemn expression, and presented a brocade box to the emperor, saying: "This thing was handed over to the minister before King Wu of Yin left Beijing, and I asked the minister to present it to the emperor." To the emperor."

The emperor beckoned and asked him to bring it to his imperial table.

However, when the emperor took time out of his busy schedule to open the brocade box and take a look, his complexion changed a few times.

After a long time, he raised his head, looked at Yan Shouzhen with blazing eyes, and asked, "For such an important matter, King Wu of Yin has been away from Beijing for a while, why did you send it now!"

Yan Shouzhen bowed his head and replied: "I really don't know the authenticity, so after receiving this item, I went to check it out in private, and only after I was sure that there were some clues to be found, I dared to report to the Emperor."

His answer made the emperor unable to pick a mistake.

It is true that as the Minister of Dali Temple, after receiving the evidence reported by others, the first thing to do is to verify the authenticity, rather than blindly report it.

The emperor asked: "Then after you check, you can prove that these deeds of the Xie family are true?"

Yan Shouzhen replied: "For some cases that have been closed in the past, I looked through the case files and found some auxiliary clues. For other cases that have not been found out, I ask the emperor to decide whether the Dali Temple will investigate and deal with them according to law."

The emperor clapped the case and said: "Investigate! Let me investigate all the way, the Xie family's bottom, all turned over, I want to see how many things they have done to use their power for personal gain!"

***
During the battle with Jin Lin, a major event that turmoiled the court occurred in the court.

The whole family of Xie's family was ransacked and imprisoned.

All the criminal evidence of the Xie family was brought to the court, and how many shady old things were pulled out and exposed to the eyes of the world.

A huge family was destroyed overnight.

In addition to the line headed by Xie Hongbo, the Xie family has no other side branches. There are hundreds of men, women, family members and servants in the family.

In addition to the Xie family, a large number of officials were involved.

For this reason, Xu Shoufu once remonstrated, saying: "It's an eventful time right now, and the war in the north is unresolved. If the emperor decides to uproot everyone involved in the case at this time, it will definitely make the court chaotic and difficult to maintain."

The emperor said: "The meaning of Shoufu is that I want to let these moths of the court go, so that they can continue to enjoy themselves?"

Xu Shoufu said: "The veteran just feels that the moment is definitely not a good time. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

Xu Shoufu also said: "In addition to the Xie Party in Beijing, there are many local officials involved in this case. If all of them are removed, it will inevitably lead to chaos in the officialdom, and it will be difficult to issue political opinions from the court, which will definitely affect people's livelihood. At present, Jinlin is invading. We should be united from top to bottom, and we can no longer endure internal destruction and division."
