"I don't know... the people from the Ministry of Justice are really fierce."

The little palace maid was obviously scared to death.

It happened that Jin He brought a bowl of lotus seed porridge from the imperial kitchen. When he heard the conversation, the bowl and plate in his hand fell to the ground, and the lotus seed porridge was sprinkled all over the floor.

An unknown premonition appears.

No wonder I woke up early in the morning and my right eyelid kept twitching.

"Jinhe, what's wrong with you? Can't even handle a bowl of lotus seed porridge?"

Concubine Wei De frowned unhappily. Jin He followed her for many years, but why did she throw the dishes today? This is unlucky.

"Concubine De forgives his crime, and Jin He deserves to die for ten thousand times."

Jin He hurriedly knelt down and admitted his mistake.

Seeing that she admitted her mistake on her own initiative, Concubine Wei relaxed. Just as she was about to comfort Jin He, a loud voice came from outside.

"Jinhe, you deserve to die!"

Wei Xiao and Chen Chuhe actually broke into Xinyi Palace.

"The Ministry of Justice takes someone! If anyone stops him, he will be dealt with as an accomplice!"

Chen Chuhe walked into the bedroom and shouted loudly.

"Empress, this is the bad person who comes."

Chu Lan said softly with her ears.

Concubine Wei De's face instantly turned cold to freezing point, and her eyes were filled with great dissatisfaction.

"Chen Chuhe, you have privately entered Xinyi Palace. Do you know that without the permission of this palace, you have to trespass the forbidden area in the harem. Even if you are the Minister of Justice, you will lose your head!"

Concubine Wei De suddenly stood up. As the lord of the harem, she absolutely allowed her majesty to be trampled on, not to mention that she was just a small minister of the Ministry of Justice.

"If it were normal, the old minister would not dare to break into the bedroom of Concubine De, but today the old minister came with Emperor Yan's oral order."

Chen Chuhe gave a tribute first, and then shouted loudly: "According to the oral order of Emperor Yan, the Ministry of Justice will thoroughly investigate the affairs of the Prince Rui's Mansion today. This is to restore the innocence of King Rui and the Wei family will be just. If others stop him, they will be punished as accomplices."

Concubine Wei De knew in her heart that Emperor Yan was obviously saying this to herself.

What a innocent person, so fairer person!

Although I, Wei Lan, was a member of the Wei family, since I was in the palace, I entered the palace as a concubine. After nearly twenty years of companionship, Emperor Yan actually compared me to someone else. It seems that today's harem is not what I said.

Concubine Wei De smiled and shivered in anger, but she had no choice but to do anything due to Emperor Yan's oral instructions.

The atmosphere in Xinyi Palace was very tense.

No one noticed that Jinhe, who was kneeling on the ground, had not stood up for a long time.

When Chen Chuhe saw that Concubine Wei De couldn't speak, he said with a slight smile, "Since Concubine Wei De has no objection, then Chen offended him, I hope Concubine Wei De understands Chen's involuntary power!"

"Empress, if they really want to investigate Xinyi Palace thoroughly, I am afraid that Xinyi Palace will be criticized in the harem in the future!"

Chu Lan said anxiously.

"snort!"

Wei Defei was so angry that she knew that Emperor Yan used the Ministry of Justice to warn herself!

Concubine Wei De, who was in a bad mood, scolded Chu Lan, "Shut up! Don't let others go to the front of Emperor Yan to study a book, and punish the crime of being the best in this palace."

At this time, Wei Xiao walked up and saluted to Concubine Wei De and said, "Auntie, Wei Xiao is also doing business and offends many times. Please have a lot of it, so don't be angry with your nephew."

"Do you still have my aunt in your eyes? If you really have one, you shouldn't have taken someone into this Xinyi Palace without notifying me!"

Concubine Wei De was even more angry when she saw Wei Xiao.

Unexpectedly, Wei Xiao just made some polite advice and turned to Jin He, with a cold tone, "Jin He, your death was caused by you? Someone pointed out that after the wedding banquet of Prince Rui's Mansion, you and my second brother went to the backyard of the Prince's Mansion with him."

When Wei Xiao said this, his eyes seemed to burn Jinhe to ashes.

Jin He's face turned paler when he heard this.

Just here, Chen Chuhe ordered, "Come, take Jin He back to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation!"

The people from the Ministry of Justice wanted to step forward and drag Jinhe down.

"slow!"

Concubine Wei De rushed forward and stopped the people from the Ministry of Justice, "Jin He is the personal female official in this palace. How could he kill my nephew? Have you made a mistake?"

Faced with the obstruction and defense of Concubine Wei De, Wei Xiao stepped forward and explained to her: "Auntie, we were not sure if it was Jin He. However, when we interrogated the palace maid yesterday, a palace maid made a testimony and explained Jin He's whereabouts clearly. On that day, the death of the second brother was inseparable from Jin He. All the evidence shows that Jin He was the murderer."

After hearing this, Concubine Wei De could only turn to look at Jin He and said with anticipation: "Jin He, tell them yourself, tell them you didn't kill Feng'er!"

However, Jin He lowered his head throughout the whole process and did not say a word.

"Concubine Wei De, you have seen it too. Jin He is unforgivable and cannot excuse himself."

"Come on! Take it away!"

On this day, the Ministry of Justice first entered the forbidden area of ​​the harem, and then Wei Xiao and Chen Chuhe took away the female official Jin He, whom Wei Defei valued the most, from Xinyi Palace.

Continuous blows made Concubine Wei De fall ill on the spot.

...

Imperial Palace.

Emperor Yan was writing calligraphy with great interest. While Eunuch De was grinding ink for Emperor Yan, he often said a few words about what happened inside and outside the palace recently.

Eunuch De whispered from the side: "Your Majesty, the big and small things in Yanjing have indeed been inseparable from the Wei family. If it weren't for someone in the palace, the Wei family would definitely not have the courage to make so many noises."

"First, he falsely accused the Crown Princess of killing civilians, and Concubine Wei De had already been confined to Xinyi Palace. At the flower-welfare, the disagreement between Mrs. Wei and the Crown Princess had already caused a lot of storm. Even the eldest princess, who had always been in charge of political affairs, came to the palace to report the Wei family."

Emperor Yan took a sip of tea, put the teacup on the table, and spoke lightly, "After so many years, I still know what kind of character of Concubine Wei De is. She is just a person who is afraid of the world's confusion."

"This time the Ministry of Justice wants to investigate the harem. I can agree so happily, and I want Concubine Wei De to understand that although this harem is temporarily under her control, it does not mean that she can do whatever she wants."

Emperor Yan seemed to have figured out what words he wanted to write, dipped them ink with a brush, hung them on the rice paper, and prepared to start writing.

"The emperor is wise. Although Concubine Wei De has been confined, her close female official walked frequently with the Wei family's children, so she should have a heavy warning."

Eunuch De followed Emperor Yan for decades and knew Emperor Yan’s thoughts and ideas. “I guess after the Ministry of Justice leaves this time, Concubine Wei De will be able to calm down for a while.”

Emperor Yan picked up the pen and dipped it ink, "Shunde, this time the Ministry of Justice's actions, the secret spy department came to report that Wei Xiao obeyed the Crown Princess's intentions, so that he would do this?"

“That’s right.”

"This little girl Qi Yan is not simple!"

As he said that, Emperor Yan’s brush in his hand was like a dragon, writing a word on rice paper.
