"Master Liu."
"Cheng Anbo, please sit down." Liu Banshan asked a subordinate to go out to make tea, and then said, "I wonder why Cheng Anbo is here now?"
"Of course it's about the assassination of Duke Jingting," Rong Xia said, "I wonder what your Excellency has discovered now?"
"We have figured out the origin of the flowerpot. The assassins are not strict with their mouths. They answer whatever we ask. They are not professional assassins. The only thorny problem now is how to catch the mastermind behind it."
Liu Banshan did not conceal the case. After his subordinates made tea, he said to his subordinates, "You all go down. I will talk to Cheng Amber alone."
No one in the entire Dali Temple does not know that Duke Jingting is Cheng Anbo’s future father-in-law. Regardless of whether he and Princess Fule have true feelings or not, Cheng Anbo cannot remain indifferent at this time, so now that Cheng Anbo comes over, they Very understanding.
After everyone else had exited, Liu Banshan said: "Of the four assassins, one of them is still in a coma, and the other three are seriously injured. Uncle, Princess Fule's... martial arts are good. ”
Rong Xia picked up the tea cup and touched the corner of her lips: "This way I don't have to worry about her suffering in the future, which is good."
Liu Banshan didn't say anything more. He said loudly: "Cheng Anbo, please don't worry. I will investigate this case as soon as possible."
"Sir Rong," the Minister of Dali Temple came in and raised his hand to salute Rong Xia. Rong Xia stood up and returned the salute to him. He hurriedly stepped aside and said, "Sir Rong, we must investigate this case carefully. How can I bother you to make this trip yourself?"
"I just have a day off today, so I'm here to bother you. You won't find it annoying."
"Haha," the Minister of Dali Temple laughed, "Your Majesty, your words are serious. I will naturally welcome you if you can come." As the Minister of Dali Temple, he knows some things that others don't know, such as His Majesty There are spies of their own around them, but they cannot figure out who the spies are and who their leaders are.
The Minister of Dali Temple had doubts about Rong Xia, but he also felt that such a person should not be suitable for being a spy, so he was only half-confident, but this did not affect his respect for Rong Xia.
"I'm naturally relieved that your lord is doing things," Rong Xia smiled lightly, "I also can't bear that my fiancée will be angry about this matter, and she will be in fear all day long, so I come here to disturb you, and I ask for your forgiveness."
The ministers of Dali Temple laughed and laughed, Cheng Anbo was putting pressure on them.
"I don't know where Mr. Jingting is..."
"Mr. Jingting was frightened and has gone back to his mansion to rest. As for Princess Fule..." Rong Xia picked up the tea cup, took a slow sip, and then gently scraped the rim of the cup with the lid, scratching Dali. Si Qing's heart was in a state of confusion, and he just wished that Rong Xia could give him a happy life.
"The princess is a daughter-in-law. Seeing her father suffer like this, she feels extremely sad. Now she has gone to the palace to ask for an audience with Your Majesty." Rong Xia sighed, "Your Majesty should also understand how your Majesty treats the Ban family, so This case cannot be delayed. The longer it is delayed, the more angry your Majesty will be. Who will bear the blame for this incompetence?"
"Thank you, Mr. Rong, for reminding me. I will investigate this case strictly." The Minister of Dali Temple felt even more worried. He didn't know where the Ban family's ability came from, but he was able to coax His Majesty to pay special attention to them, even in the filial piety. During this period, His Majesty can also reward them with things from time to time. Even if the eldest princess has the grace to save them, His Majesty will not miss them so much, right?
"The adults are busy, so I won't interrupt you. I'll take my leave."
"Sir, please walk slowly."
After sending Rong Xia away, the Dali Temple Minister walked up to Liu Banshan and said with a sad face: "This case has no beginning and no end, how can we investigate it."
"Sir, this is the portrait of the commander given by the assassin." Liu Banshan handed the portrait to the minister of Dali Temple. After taking it, the minister of Dali Temple took a look and exclaimed: "What an amazing painter, Qingfeng, your painting My skills have improved again."
"Sir, this painting was not made by me," Liu Banshan said with a wry smile, "This is Cheng Anbo's calligraphy treasure."
He is a Dali Temple official, but his skills in investigating cases and painting are not as good as Cheng Anbo, which is really embarrassing and respectful.
"What?" The Minister of Dali Temple looked at the painting in surprise, "Didn't Rong Junpo never paint portraits?"
"Maybe there are always exceptions to everything," Liu Banshan thought of Princess Fule, shook his head and smiled, "In any case, fortunately, this painting will make it easier for us to handle the case this time."
The Minister of Dali Temple carefully placed the painting on the table. This was Rong Junpo's first portrait, and he actually had the urge to stuff it into his arms.
Some people originally said that Rong Junpo did not paint portraits because he was not good at it. But how could a person who could imitate the appearance of a prisoner using the mouth of an assassin not be good at drawing characters?
It’s a pity that the painting showed an unspectacular prisoner, otherwise he would have shamelessly put the painting away.
In Dayue Palace, a singer was singing to Emperor Yunqing. Seeing that His Majesty was somewhat interested in her, the singer was secretly happy.
"Your Majesty, Princess Fule would like to see you."
Emperor Yun Qing, who was still intoxicated by the singer's music, sat upright when he heard this and looked at Wang De: "Who are you talking about?"
"Your Majesty, this is Princess Fule."
"Hey, this girl finally stopped telling me the rules." Emperor Yunqing still missed this child after not seeing him for a few days. He smiled and touched his chin and said to Wang De, "You old man, you still don't understand." Please come in."
"Yes." Wang De retreated, but thinking of Princess Fule's tearful appearance, he was afraid that His Majesty would have another headache.
Sure enough, when Emperor Yun Qing saw Banhua walking in with red eyes and wrinkled clothes, he immediately thought that she was being bullied and said immediately: "婳婷, what's wrong with you?"
"Your Majesty!" Banhua knelt in front of Emperor Yun Qing, pursed her lips, and cried like a poor little bullied girl who finally found her backbone.
She is not the concubine of Emperor Yunqing, so she does not need to cry restrainedly and gracefully. At this moment, she can cry as sadly as she feels wronged.
"What's going on?" Emperor Yunqing was dumbfounded by this incident. How could he care about the singer? He hurriedly asked the female officer to help Banhua sit up. The entire palace of Dayue Palace I was so busy just trying to comfort this aunt who was crying uncontrollably.
"Girl, we won't cry anymore. If you feel wronged, just tell your cousin and he will help you vent your anger." If his concubine had cried like this, Emperor Yun Qing would have thrown away his sleeves and left. But this was his favorite junior, and Emperor Yun Qing had a different mentality. What he was thinking about was who was so short-sighted that even his favorite junior dared not show face.
If you don’t give him the face of his favorite minister, you don’t give him the face. Emperor Yun Qing expressed that he was a little unhappy.
"Your Majesty." Banhua sniffed, his eyes and nose were all red. Emperor Yun Qing suddenly remembered a little white rabbit he raised when he was young. What happened to that white rabbit?
It seemed that the second brother who was loved by his father was about to leave. Within a few days, the rabbit was played to death by the second brother. The second brother even skinned the rabbit and hung it on a tree, waiting for him When they found out about this, the rabbit had already been dried into a skeleton.
The memory was too long ago and he couldn't remember it clearly, but he never forgot the feeling of being bullied.
"Don't cry, don't cry, we are not aggrieved," Emperor Yunqing personally brought a cup of honey tea to Banhua, "Drink some water first."
Banhua took the cup and said with sobs, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Emperor Yun Qing breathed a long sigh of relief and finally stopped crying.
"Your Majesty, someone wants to kill us." Banhua stared at Emperor Yunqing with his big watery eyes, "I don't want to die."
"Who wants to kill you?" Emperor Yun Qing's eyes widened in surprise, but what he was thinking about was, could it be because someone saw that he was too good to the Ban family and became dissatisfied? It is simply unreasonable. As an emperor, he can be nice to whomever he wants, and yet there are still people who dare to be dissatisfied with this? !
Banhua didn't know what Emperor Yun Qing was thinking. She told the story of what happened, but she was too sad and scared. If there were occasional omissions in her story, it was normal.
"I don't understand why someone wants to kill us. Could it be because..." Banhua seemed to have thought of something, and her expression changed.
Emperor Yun Qing knew that she had a temper that could not hide her words, "It's okay to speak directly if you have anything to say. There is no need to worry about it in front of my cousin."
"Is it because our family has done something that dissatisfied others, so someone came to take revenge on us?" Banhua muttered, "Our family has been observing filial piety recently and has not offended anyone."
When Emperor Yun Qing heard this, he thought even further.
These people are not dissatisfied with Ban's family, I'm afraid they are dissatisfied with him as the emperor. In the previous assassination incident, his aunt died because of him. If the old subordinates of Prince Hui's Mansion wanted revenge, they would naturally pick someone from the Ban family.
Because there are only a few younger members of the Ban family under the control of my aunt.
As an emperor, the most taboo thing is for others to plot against his throne. He is the most generous person and gives supreme respect to those he loves. He is also the most stingy person. He can remember many things for a lifetime, and even many unfortunate things can involve annoying people.
If King Hui’s old ministry has not been dealt with, is he, the emperor, still in danger?
"Girl, I will order you to go to Dali Temple and ask them to investigate this case strictly and you will never be wronged."
"My lord, thank you for your great kindness." Banhua sniffed and seemed to remember that he had cried so inconspicuously just now. He covered his face with his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you have forgotten how my lord cried just now. Right."
Emperor Yun Qing couldn't help but laugh out loud, "There's nothing to be ashamed of. You peed on me when you were a child, and now it's too late to think of the shame."
Ban Hua blushed and said, "Your Majesty, I am from a girl's family. You can at least save some face for me."
"Okay, okay, I'll save you some face," Emperor Yun Qing stood up and said, "Let's go with me to see your cousin. Today, both our uncle and nephew will go to your cousin's place to eat. ”
The queen was talking to her two daughters-in-law. When she heard the **** say that Your Majesty and Princess Fule were coming over later, she said to the palace attendants: "Take all these refreshments away and replace them with those that Princess Fule often uses."
Xie Wanyu was secretly surprised when she saw that the palace servants had even changed the tea in her hand, that Banhua was really so valued by the queen.
No wonder she was so confident in the past, not giving face to anyone.
The Crown Princess turned her head and glanced at Xie Wanyu, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said nothing. Ever since it was reported that her sister's relationship with her second uncle was unclear, she and her second sibling had a superficial friendship and never said a single unnecessary word at other times.
The Crown Princess was very unhappy. She was a very disciplined person, but she didn't know that her sister would cause such a thing with her brother-in-law. This made her very embarrassed, although the palace people did not dare to do it in front of her. Talking about this kind of thing in front of her, but how can she feel better?
After a while, His Majesty and Ban Hua came in. She saw that Ban Hua’s face was red, no makeup was applied, and the clothes on his body were messy and wrinkled. She couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows. What was Ban Hua doing? , when you enter the palace to meet the emperor and the empress, you don’t even follow these rules?
Xie Wanyu stood up and saluted the emperor with a low eyebrow, seemingly not seeing Banhua behind the emperor.
"Ouch," the queen said when she saw Banhua like this, "What's going on? Go and change clothes quickly. I have clothes here that fit your size."
"Thank you, Queen."
Ban Hua smiled reluctantly at the queen and followed the palace people to the back.
The queen looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, what happened?"
Emperor Yunqing lowered his face and said: "An assassin assassinated Duke Jingting."
What?
The three noble women in the room all showed surprised expressions.
Then... is Duke Jingting dead?
