The queen looked down and saw the emperor's face softened. She said tentatively, "but Gu Wanzhou was too bold. He took the plaque from his majesty to block his knife. In other words, others must protect the plaque given by your majesty. "

The smile on the emperor's face faded, and the queen immediately kept silent and carefully observed each other's face.

Just at this time, a servant came and said, "Your Majesty, someone outside the Palace door is knocking on the drum."

"The queen angrily scolded," who is so presumptuous, picking up your Majesty's food when the next life. "

The waiter bowed his head.

The emperor put down his chopsticks and asked, "who is going to blame outside the palace?"

"It's his Royal Highness the king of Yan and the maid of Gu Wanzhou," he said

The queen couldn't help but said: "this is too ridiculous. A prince of the yanwangtang hall, who can't come to the palace for anything, wants to play the dengwen drum. Besides, when can even a servant girl knock on the dengwen drum? "

With that, the queen said softly to the Emperor: "Your Majesty, the king of Yan is so domineering. Even if he is dismissed, he is still so arrogant..."

"Enough! Queen, you have overstepped

The emperor's voice to stop her words, although not loud, but full of dignity, the hall was silent for a moment.

The queen immediately kept silent and knelt down in a hurry to plead guilty and said, "my concubine is wrong."

The son of heaven lightly looked at her one eye, "after don't want to know wrong make a mistake."

The queen was so frightened that she kowtowed and did not dare to look up.

The emperor was in no mood at this time. He went out of Fengqi palace and ordered the servant to bring people up.

He probably knows what Yan Xiaoran said, but Gu Wanzhou's instigation of his little girl to beat the drum and complain was beyond his expectation. Considering the plaque given by the emperor to protect his life yesterday, he was a little curious about Gu Wanzhou.

Yan Xiaoran and Xiangye were brought to the emperor. The emperor did not look at Yan Xiaoran, but looked at Xiangye Rao and asked with interest, "why do you come to beat the drum? What are the grievances? "

Xiangye respectfully raised the broken plaque in his hand and said: "I'm here for doctor Gu to plead injustice and Sue the person who destroyed the plaque. At the same time, doctor Gu is in prison. He can't come here in person and ask his maidservant to apologize for her. "

The emperor was silent.

What Xiangye said seems to be mischievous, but if we don't pursue it, what we will lose is the majesty of the emperor. Who will pay attention to what he gives us?

"If you want to kill someone who destroys my imperial gift, your doctor Gu will tell you to sue the imperial edict. Isn't she afraid that I will kill her?"

Xiangye calmly said: "doctor Gu said that the emperor is very observant and just. He has always been benevolent. When he learned that she was assassinated in prison, he would certainly vindicate her, and he would not pursue her. In order to protect her life, he accidentally destroyed the plaque."

The emperor said faintly: "in this way, I can't pursue her responsibility, but also protect her. Otherwise, it's unfair and unjust."

Fragrant leaf smell speech immediately knelt down, "maidservant absolutely dare not."

The emperor was just to scare her, otherwise anyone could threaten him. That's enough.

Seeing that Xiangye was terrified, the emperor no longer continued to exert his authority. He said faintly, "get up. The death of Ningyuan Marquis has nothing to do with Gu Wanzhou. Now the case has not been found out, and Gu Wanzhou is still dead."

With that, he said in a loud voice: "order to go down, we must protect the safety of Gu Wanzhou. In addition, on the appropriate basis, we must meet Gu Wanzhou's reasonable requirements."

He remembered that Shan you said yesterday that Gu Wanzhou found something strange in the ointment, which can prove that Ningyuan Marquis was deliberately poisoned. Maybe this Gu Wanzhou is really the breakthrough point of this case.

After hearing this, Xiangye knew that the emperor wanted to make it convenient for Dr. Gu. She was very happy and quickly gave thanks.

After Xiangye left, the atmosphere before Yan Xiaoran and the emperor was not so relaxed.

The emperor said angrily, "what are you doing here? There's a prince who went to play the drum. Do you mean to make me look ugly? "

"I dare not!"

Yan Xiaoran said in a loud voice: "I'm really wronged. I was assassinated in the prison and nearly lost my life. When I got home, I couldn't sleep well. I always felt that someone was following me, so I came to ask your majesty for protection."

The emperor was angry with him and laughed, "you are not afraid of being laughed at when you say this."

Yan Xiaoran thought about what Xu said to himself at home, so he confessed to the emperor, not only about his assassination in the prison, but also about his guess about the death of Ningyuan Marquis and what he had done before. Wei also gave a little explanation.

When he said it, he didn't hide it at all. He even said something in his heart. Of course, he didn't show his cards completely, but by confessing what he had done, he put him in front of the emperor and let the emperor feel that he could control him.

Sure enough, after hearing Yan Xiaoran's words, the emperor began to meditate.

Yan Xiaoran, as the object of his key doubt, naturally made great efforts to investigate Yan Xiaoran. What this man said at this time is not the same as what he investigated.Even because Yan Xiaoran said his own idea, he also solved some previous questions.

In addition, some days ago, in order to protect Gu Wanzhou's life, Yan Xiaoran accepted his power cutting without hesitation, and his doubts about Yan Xiaoran were faintly relaxed.

But even so, the emperor could not easily believe this man.

He thought for a long time, then slowly said: "in this case, I will send two guards into the golden sword, who will be with you."

Yan Xiaoran was overjoyed and quickly gave thanks.

Yan Xiaoran, who wants to be satisfied, leaves the palace with two golden sword guards.

His purpose is to ask the emperor for people to monitor himself.

Because he often disagreed with the Marquis of Ningyuan in political affairs, and they had a lot of problems, he was the most suspect in the case of Marquis of Ningyuan.

As a suspect, if he interferes in the ningyuanhou case, even if he finds out the truth, he will be questioned, so he needs to find a reason for others to trust him.

Xu's idea is perfect. If he takes the emperor's people with him and wants to do anything, he won't be tied up. Anyway, someone will report to the emperor for himself.

These two men will also bring convenience for him to exercise his privileges, which will be more conducive for him to trace the truth of Ningyuan Marquis's murder and find out the evidence of king Qi's rebellion.

Yan Xiaoran came out of the palace and did not return to the palace. Instead, he came to the Yamen to look after the late boat.

He knew the news of Gu Wanzhou's assassination that night, and was shocked.

Find Gu Wanzhou next to the dark Wei, two dark Wei said, they found someone suspicious, was led away.
