The eldest princess is a captive and the abstinent official is seductive

After getting dressed, Wen Jin entered the palace in a sedan chair.

He arrived a little late, got off the sedan chair at the palace gate, and walked into the palace. Other officials had already entered the side hall to wait, and they were all a little surprised to see Wen Jin come in.

"Is the Prime Minister feeling better?"

"The Prime Minister has been away for the past two days, and many things have happened outside. The emperor is in a terrible state." Several ministers from the cabinet came over and whispered to Wen Jin, "Has the Prime Minister heard about what happened outside these two days?"

"I heard a little." Wen Jin smiled lightly, not revealing any real emotions, "To be honest, I was not feeling well the day before yesterday, and I couldn't even come to the palace to share the worries of the emperor. Now, I have just felt better, and I hurried to the court."

"Alas." Wang Da, the cabinet minister, sighed lightly, "The eldest princess is really She is too presumptuous now. She has been doing things that challenge the imperial power and laws these days. The emperor must be very worried. "

Xu Dazhi frowned: "The eldest princess is a lonely star, with a perverse temper and eccentricity, and she does things willfully. But the late emperor gave her the privilege of leading the Qilin Guard... It may not be easy for the emperor to punish her."

"Isn't there still a regent?"

"Regent? Do you think the regent is still willing to take charge now?"

Wen Jin listened to the discussions of several elders, and the corners of his lips always had a perfect arc, making it impossible for him to guess what he was thinking.

Just at this moment, the eunuch's high-pitched announcement sounded outside: "The emperor has arrived--"

The ministers straightened their official uniforms and walked to the side hall. When the young emperor sat on the dragon throne, they knelt down and paid homage without appointment: "Your Highness, I pay homage to you. Long live the emperor!"

"All the ministers stand up." Yan Chen's eyebrows were sinister, and he looked unpredictable. His eyes fell on the face of Wen Jin, the head of the ministers, and he was slightly stunned. "Is Wen Qing feeling better?"

Wen Jin said: "I am fine. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

Yan Chen nodded: "I am fine."

Wei Changhai shouted: "If there is something, report it early, if there is nothing, leave the court--"

"Your Highness!" An urgent report came from outside, the voice was anxious and fearful, "Something bad has happened, something bad has happened!"

The ministers turned their heads to look outside the hall.

Yan Chen's face also changed. What happened again?

"Your Majesty." A guard rushed into the palace, holding something in his hands, covered by a white cloth, "Your Majesty!"

"What are you holding in your hands?"

When the white cloth was uncovered, all the officials in the palace gasped in fear and took three steps back involuntarily: "What is this?"

"Hand?"

"Whose hand?"

"Your Majesty..." The guard was pale, "This one was sent to the outside of the palace gate, and I asked you to present it to your Majesty for your review, saying... saying that the hand of the eldest son of the Xiao family..."

What?

The emperor's eyes went dark, and he felt dizzy.

"The hand of the eldest son of the Xiao family?" One of the ministers exclaimed, "Isn't Master Xiao imprisoned in the Princess's mansion?"

"Could it be that the Princess..."

"Report--"

Another person hurried to the palace and knelt down to report: "Your Majesty, before the city gates were closed last night, about 500 Qilin Guards escorted a carriage to force their way into the city. As soon as the city gates opened this morning, Her Royal Highness the Princess and her Qilin Guards entered the city. The Princess has the order in her hand, and the imperial city garrison dare not stop them. Please give instructions, Your Majesty."

What?

The ministers were in an uproar.

"She is so audacious!" Yan Chen slammed the table and stood up, shaking with anger, "Is Yan Qing rebelling?!"

"Have you, the princess, gone to the city?"

"Without the imperial edict, arbitrarily mobilizing troops is a crime of treason. What does the princess want to do? The late emperor's body is still warm, and she is so rebellious?"

"Is this arm really from Xiao Jinghan?" A minister in the palace looked at the half arm on the tray and couldn't help but question it, "The Xiao family has no grudges against the princess, and the princess has no reason to be so cruel."

"Oh, Master Xiao went to a brothel once, so he shouldn't be so cruel."

Yan Chen stared at the half arm, as if a chill ran up from the soles of his feet, making him cold all over.

No grudges?

Went to a brothel once?

No, he knew very well that the reason why Yan Qing dealt with Xiao Jinghan was not because he went to the brothel, but because she knew the truth about the marriage granted by the previous emperor.

Thinking of the poison he had been poisoned with and the poison the queen mother had been poisoned with, Yan Chen was resentful of Yan Qing and wanted to cut her into pieces and torture her to death immediately.

"Come on! Seal off the Princess's Mansion immediately! Arrest all the people in the Princess's Mansion——"

"Your Majesty." Wen Jin spoke slowly, his voice was gentle and peaceful, but it seemed to have some kind of penetrating power, "I got the news early in the morning that the Princess and her Qilin Guards had left the imperial city in two batches, and took away the sons of Hu Yushi and Minister of Revenue Ji Da, leaving some maids to clean the house and guard the courtyard."

"What? Ji Da's legitimate son and Hu Yushi's youngest son were taken away?"

"What on earth is the Princess doing?"

Wen Jin's voice Pingjing: "These maids and guards have no interests or feelings with the princess, and they are of low status and cannot stop the princess's behavior. It is meaningless for the emperor to punish them."

"The Prime Minister is right." Censor Hu said quickly, "Your Majesty must not kill them now. There is no benefit in killing them. If you anger the princess, I am afraid that my son's life will be in danger."

Minister Ji of the Ministry of Revenue hurriedly echoed: "Your Majesty, please think twice."

His son is still in the hands of the princess, and he must not anger the princess.

Yan Chen was trembling all over, and he was so angry that he could not find words to describe it.

The civil and military officials looked at each other, with different expressions, but they were all silent.

With the previous experience of the Minister of Revenue and Hu Yushi, the other ministers did not dare to mention the harsh punishment measures against the princess at this time. What if it got to the ears of that star of misfortune, and she took their son away as a slave?

If being a slave was not a big deal, at least the body was intact. What if... What if...

The ministers' eyes fell on the half-broken arm. Whether it was Xiao Jinghan's arm or not, it was enough to scare them.

The atmosphere in the court was stagnant, and no one spoke for a long time.

Before Yan Qing returned to the imperial capital, there had never been a court meeting that made people dare not even speak like today.

Yan Chen's face was gloomy, and he slowly sat back on the dragon chair after a while.

"Mr. Wen." His eyes fell on Wen Jin's face, and his voice was filled with a deep and murderous aura. "How do you think this matter should be handled?"

Wen Jin lowered his eyes: "As the king of a country, the emperor has always been wise and generous, ruling the world with kindness, and naturally he will be more kind to his sister."

The ministers turned their heads to look at him.

Kindness?

Is Mr. Wen lying with his eyes open?

What attitude did the late emperor and the empress dowager have towards the eldest princess who was born with a bad luck, and what kind of personality does the current emperor have? Don't they know better than anyone else?

However, Wen Jin has always had a good relationship in the court, and there is no benefit in blindly criticizing the eldest princess at this time.

The most urgent task is to appease the lonely star of the sky.

The Minister of Personnel said, "Your Majesty, I think what Master Wen said is reasonable. The eldest princess is absurd and rebellious, unruly and difficult to tame, and will surely be notorious in the future. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, with a broad mind and tolerance. In the future, you will definitely win the reputation of benevolence and be praised by the world."

"Oh, Master Li is right."

"My emperor is wise!"

Yan Chen was so depressed that he couldn't get up or down, and he tightly grasped the armrests of the dragon chair.

Your Majesty is wise.

Your Majesty is wise!

So he turned a blind eye to Yan Qing's behavior?

Yan Qing is notorious?

That star of misfortune doesn't care about his notoriety at all. If he continues to kill the king and the mother in the future, will he endure it all the time?

Yan Chen became angrier and angrier. He thought the ministers would criticize him, and he could issue a wanted order and send troops to hunt him down and kill him.

He didn't expect them to be a bunch of cowards!

The emperor stood up and walked away: "Dismiss the court!"
