Chapter 118 Another inside story
Han Jian explained the situation in detail under the Queen's question. Han Jian believed that the Queen's control over the overall situation should be clear about the impact of the matter on the situation. Therefore, he only talked about the matter as an observer and did not include personal opinions.
After Han Jian said that, the queen was silent for a while and sighed slightly: "King Dong, since you are walking with Huang Sidian, why don't you stop him?"
Han Jian hurriedly said, "Go back to Your Majesty, the incident happened suddenly. As soon as I came out of the room, I saw Huang Sidian having a dispute with Mr. Li. Mr. Li said rudely, and Huang Sidian was pushed downstairs first. Huang Sidian deliberately avoided me and went upstairs from the other side to ask Mr. Li for advice, so I couldn't stop him. I have made any mistakes and asked Your Majesty to surrender."
The queen gave Han Jian a blank look, as if she was saying, "You little brat can push it clean."
It was not that Han Jian had no time to stop him, but that he did not want to stop him and let the situation develop. Of course, Han Jian did not expect that someone would die in the end. Seeing that the queen looked resentful and blamed, Han Jian thought to himself: "Is it because the detailed work beside me who has informed the queen of the situation and let the queen know that I am lying?"
The queen just gave Han Jian a blank look without saying too much. Finally, the queen seemed to sigh: "Huang Sidian hurt someone wrongly, and it was unintentional. Is the King of Dong coming to plead for him?"
Han Jian said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I am not pleading for Huang Sidian, but I do not want to let Huang Sidian die in an unknown way. If Your Majesty does not issue an edict and orders the Ministry of Justice to take away the people, then Huang Sidian should not be able to survive tonight."
The queen was slightly stunned and looked up at Han Jian. In the eyes of the queen, Han Jian was a child who had never grown up and had no foresight. She only knew that she would play and arrange an errand for him on weekdays. He was perfunctory and even made some crazy words in front of civil and military officials and envoys of the Southern Qi Dynasty at the palace banquet. She was not surprised by these, she just felt that Han Jian should need more experience.
Han Jian helped Yang Xi to solve the fraud case, which made the Queen look high. Now Han Jian suddenly said these words that were related to the overall situation, which made her even more puzzled. She thought to herself: "Look, this kid is not doing his job on weekdays, but he pretends to be?"
The queen smiled slightly and then sighed: "Huang Sidian injured the Minister of Justice by mistake. It is reasonable for the Ministry of Justice to blame him. I issued an order, which may be suspected of protecting my shortcomings, and censors must not talk too much."
Han Jian heard the Queen's meaning of the words. He has been pretending to be a bear for sixteen years since he was born. If he continues to pretend, the Queen may only regard him as a Zuyin Prince, and will not add him when he thinks about it. It is time for the Queen to get to know her true self again.
"Go back to Your Majesty, Huang Sidian cannot die." Han Jian said in a deep voice.
The queen smiled again and said, "Why can't Huang Sidian die?"
"Your Majesty, I was an external minister. I should not have discussed much about the affairs of the court, but now it is the time when our Wei Dynasty is in trouble. At this time, I also hope to help Your Majesty share his worries." Han Jian did not make any sense, but first made his position. Then he said, "Huang Sidian is a descendant of the Huang family under the command of the Southern King. I hope that Your Majesty will consider the Southern King and protect Huang Sidian's life. It is also to protect the Wei Dynasty's country for thousands of years."
The queen's brow was slightly locked, looking at Han Jian's eyes as if she was reexamining Han Jian. The expression on Han Jian's face at this time was more like a counselor who was calm in the face of changes, giving advice to the queen.
The queen stood up, stood in front of the case, and sighed slightly, "What the King of the East is right, but I cannot ask about this matter."
Han Jian said again: "Your Majesty, the last time I helped the Sixth Prince to find out the case of fraud in the imperial examination, I found that Mr. Li was very involved in the case. Your Majesty did not hold him accountable, so I was inconvenient to intervene, but I also learned that Mr. Li had someone behind the scenes. When he was close to the third prince, he could be killed and not be jealous. Huang Sidian just did something that the minister wanted to do but did not do. His crime should be punished, but his feelings could be avoided."
The queen looked at Han Jian and smiled with relief, as if she was very happy that Han Jian could say such words. But she also sighed helplessly: "I don't want to eradicate the person behind Mr. Li, but the current situation is not allowed. Now that Mr. Li is dead, if I openly guarantee that the murderer will be killed, some things will be open and unfavorable to the current situation. In this way, I will give you a handwritten order, and you will take it to the Tingwei Mansion and order Huang Sidian to temporarily detain the Tingwei Mansion awaiting trial. All I can do is this."
Han Jian came here to ask for such a handwritten order. He also knew that if the queen was pardoned and released, it would be no different from breaking with the Northern King. What he had to do now is to save Huang Lie's life first and then make a long-term plan step by step.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Han Jian bowed and took the order.
The queen sat down again and wrote a handwritten order. While handing it over to Han Jian, she looked at Han Jian's face and said, "Dongwang, I am very pleased to share my worries. But I don't want you to be involved in too many things. You can get out of some things, so it's better not to ask about them."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Han Jian received the order again.
"Yeah." The queen nodded slightly and handed the handwriting to Han Jian. Han Jian was about to retreat, but Yang Xi outside finally recovered and asked the eunuch to come in and ask for a meeting.
"You go first, King Dong, I won't keep you more." said the queen.
Han Jian said goodbye and passed by Yang Xi when he left the door. Yang Xi saw Han Jian leaving in a hurry, and was a little strange. He just urged him to return to the palace like a ghost, but now he returned to the palace but left him aside. Now he didn't even say anything?
"Sister." Yang Xi entered Ye'an Pavilion and was about to talk to the queen, but the queen stood up and said, "Xi'er, you are tired too. Go back to rest early. Sister must go back to the bedroom first."
"Uh?...oh." Yang Xi touched his head, not quite understanding why his sister was leaving without even talking to him.
Yang Xi and Yang Yu are princes and have no titles. The queen has always allowed them to live in the palace, but they did not live in the inner palace, but lived in a special residence in the palace. There are no rules when entering and leaving on weekdays, and they completely treat the two princes as the princes of the Eastern Palace. When Yang Xi saw his sister entering the inner palace, he naturally could not follow him, so he had to leave Ye'an Pavilion first and go back to his residence.
The queen came out of Ye'an Pavilion and gave a special explanation to the eunuch who was with her, so that Yang Yu would not disturb her after returning to the palace. The queen had calculated accurately that Yang Yu would return to the palace. It must be the first thing to ask for him to ask about Huang Lie for his death penalty.
"Your Majesty." At the door of the inner palace, a figure in white clothes fell slowly in front of the queen, holding her fists and saluting.
The palace maids and eunuchs on the side were originally very nervous, but the queen raised her hand slightly and signaled to ask the palace maids and eunuchs to retreat.
Only when only the queen and the man in white were left, the queen's expression became a little solemn and even a little cold.
"Junior sister, you're one step late." The queen said angrily.
"Yes." The person who came was Han Jian's beautiful master Fa Yi. As the person who was arranged by the queen to follow Han Jian, Han Jian almost couldn't escape the eyes of Fa Yi. Originally, the queen was relieved to let the Fa Yi be by Han Jian. However, she did not expect that Han Jian had encountered many things recently, and Fa also did not fulfill her duties.
"The Caomin tracked down the injured people and came to report to Your Majesty." Fa Yi said.
"What did you say? A hurtful person?"
"Yes. At that time, in Yuhua Building, it was not the young master Huang who was beside the young master, but the Li family's entourage. The Li family's entourage secretly tripped, which made Li Wei fall from the building. It was just that the situation was chaotic at that time, and only the Caomin lived on a high place could see clearly."
The queen sighed, and the matter was beyond her imagination. She originally thought that Huang Lie was wrong and killed Li Wei by mistake, but she didn't expect that there was another hidden truth in the murder case.
"But the whereabouts of the murderer were tracked?" the queen asked.
Fa Yi nodded first, then shook his head slightly and said, "I have chased him, but I have been silenced."
When the word "silence" was heard, the queen seemed to have expected that since someone wanted to kill Li Wei and did not want to reveal her identity, she would naturally get rid of the roots.
"Junior sister, go first, Jianer's side. Don't go there first, he is already suspicious. If he finds you, I will not be able to explain many things in detail to him. With his ability, you may not need to protect Xiaoquan."
"Yes." Fa also received the order and retreated respectfully.
Seeing Fa Yi left, the queen stood there for a long time without leaving. Many things had developed beyond her control. Originally, this was a smooth and gradual step, and because of some waves, she couldn't see clearly how many forces behind her covet the throne. In the queen's heart, there was only one big problem to be eliminated, that is, the King of Northern.
"What my father said at his death that if the Northern King is not eliminated, the Wei Dynasty will eventually be in chaos. After all, the father is not wrong." The queen finally sighed to herself.
...
...
Han Jian, who left the palace, took the guards directly to the Tingwei Mansion. He wanted to send the empress's handwriting to keep Huang Lie's order before the Ministry of Justice went to the Tingwei Mansion to ask for someone.
Because it was already night, there were few pedestrians on the street, and Han Jian walked on the road, but he just wanted to walk nearby. But at this time, a carriage was parked by the street, and a young woman was chasing the carriage. As the carriage stopped, the woman took off the horse stool and helped a woman in the car get out of the car.
"Who!" As Han Jian stopped, the guards of the East Prince's Mansion were already facing a great enemy, although there were only two women who looked weak in front of him.
The people who came were Mrs. Luo and Daxiliu who had just surrendered.
"Get out." Han Jian sternly said.
"But young master..."
What else did the guard want to say? Han Jian seemed extremely impatient and shouted, "I didn't hear you let me retreat!"
Han Jian has always been gentle and polite to the guards. He has never been so angry. The guards hurriedly took the order and retreated, so that Han Jian could be alone with Mrs. Luo and Daxi Liu.
Mrs. Luo came close by Liu Xiang of Daxi and bowed and said, "Your Highness, I will do all your instructions for you!"
"Is it done?" Han Jian sneered, with a hint of hideousness in his smile, "Your completion is to find someone to kill Li Wei and then frame Huang Lie's head?"
"This..." Mrs. Luo was a little frightened. She didn't quite understand what Han Jian meant.
The order to kill Li Wei was issued by Han Jian. She just followed Han Jian's instructions and found someone to try to kill Li Wei. Who knew that there would be such a good chance in Yuhua Building. The person she found also completed the task successfully, causing Li Wei to die. Before the matter was found on her, she asked someone to silence her. It can be said that she did it perfectly. She didn't understand why Han Jian was so angry.
"Your Highness... I have something wrong with you. Please tell me clearly."
This was the first thing Han Jian told Mrs. Luo. Mrs. Luo felt from Han Jian's attitude that she must have stabbed a hornet's nest, but she didn't know why.
