Young Master Liu couldn't wait to know how Li Baiyu planned to deal with the assassination of Yun Xiaoxi. In the past ten years, Young Master Liu had rarely taken the initiative to go to court so early.
Qi Yun served her husband and put on his official robe and fish bag.
"Husband, what happened in Xiaoxi is only known to the people in the capital. It has not yet been widely publicized. You must say less and see more when you go to court today."
"I'm worried that someone will make a fuss about this matter. If my husband is involved, he will definitely have a lot of unnecessary trouble."
"Don't worry, my husband has his heart in mind!"
"It's good that your husband understands. I will ask my servants to cook the porridge and wait for you to return from the court!"
"I know, you go ahead and get some sleep, it's still early!"
After Young Master Liu got dressed, he rode towards the palace.
As soon as he arrived at the city gate, Young Master Liu discovered that he was not the first to arrive. A large number of civil and military ministers had already gathered at the palace gate, waiting for him.
It seems that I am not the only one involved in this matter.
Many people are very concerned about the assassination of their virgin empress, and only they know what they are thinking.
There was rare silence outside the palace gate, and there was no sound of officials whispering.
Liu Mingzhi responded to the official who greeted him and then stood there with his eyes closed to relax.
"Dong Guo, please be polite when you lower your rank!"
Young Master Liu opened his eyes slightly when he heard Ye Kaiming's voice: "Hello, Mr. Ye!"
"Dong Guogong was joking. In order to come up with a reliable plan, Xianguan and Master Ding rested for a while in the middle of the night before going to court."
Young Master Liu glanced at the curious colleagues around him, raised his hands and gave Ye Kaiming a look.
"Sir Ye, this Axiom is not appropriate for matters regarding the Ministry of Punishments. It is better for Mr. Ye to report to His Majesty himself!"
"I am just here to say hello to Duke Ding. I have no other intention!"
After Ye Kaiming finished speaking, he glanced at the colleagues around him and returned to his seat, also learning to close his eyes and rest!
The palace door creaked open.
"All officials are here to meet you!"
Liu Mingzhi straightened his official robe and hurried towards the Qinzheng Hall.
Looking at the Duke of Jing, Yunyang, who was walking with him, Young Master Liu couldn't help but start talking.
There seems to be something wrong with this old senior.
The granddaughter of the apple of my eye was assassinated. As a grandfather, he had been away from home for a few days to practice bathing. Why did he come to court today?
Liu Mingzhi couldn't help but be extremely curious about what Yunyang and Li Baiyu discussed yesterday.
However, the morning court was just around the corner, and Mr. Liu had no chance to go to his aunt Liu Ying to find out more about the situation.
Young Master Liu was even more worried about his cousin Yun Xiaoxi's current situation and whether he had already met up with the Shadow Guards and arrived at the place arranged by his aunt.
After an unlucky moment, all civil and military officials gathered in the Qinzheng Hall.
Zeng Hai's sharp voice came from the back of the palace: "Your Majesty is here!"
"Your Majesty, long live my emperor."
“Free admission!”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The civil and military officials looked vaguely in the direction of Longtai, each of them silent and did not dare to be the first to speak, for fear that Li Baiyu would spread the anger of Yun Xiaoxi's assassination on himself.
However, what puzzled the civil and military officials was that Li Baiyu's face seemed to be different from what he and others had imagined.
Smiling, the lights in the Qinzheng Palace were brightly lit, and the civil and military officials were convinced that they and others had really seen it right.
There was indeed a faint smile on Li Baiyu's lips.
All the civil and military officials were confused, and the vassal kings such as Young Master Liu, Li Yunlong and other brothers were even more confused.
Li Baiyu's reaction was really unexpected. All the wives who had not yet passed the marriage were assassinated. If you are not furious, you should at least have a gloomy look on your face.
What is the reaction to laughter?
Mr. Liu gently picked the ring on his thumb, if he hadn't been personally involved in Xiaoxi's matter.
With Li Baiyu's reaction, Young Master Liu thought that the person who was assassinated was an unrelated passerby.
Thinking of this, Mr. Liu turned his neck slightly and glanced at Yunyang opposite, becoming even more curious about what kind of shady deal Yunyang had with Li Baiyu yesterday.
The granddaughter was assassinated and the grandfather seemed indifferent. The queen who had not yet visited was assassinated, but the emperor still had a smile on his face.
It doesn't make sense either emotionally or rationally, so what's going on?
For a short moment, Young Master Liu felt that he had never been so confused.
The Li Yunlong brothers looked at each other in confusion. They could clearly see the emperor's eyes and face when he left yesterday. How could he suddenly change his appearance overnight?
Could it be that the imperial brother was happy that Yun Xiaoxi, the young overlord of the Yun family, was assassinated?
No, if the imperial brother's throne is to be secure, the support of the Yun family is indispensable. Even if he is pretentious, he has to pretend to be sad, and he will definitely not look like this.
There must be something here that my brother and others are not aware of.
Li Baiyu glanced at the civil and military officials below, slowly stood up from the dragon throne, and walked slowly on the dragon platform which was neither high nor low.
"My dear friends, are you wondering why I look so happy when my future empress was assassinated?"
"Your Majesty, please clear up the confusion!"
All civil and military officials said in unison that after serving as officials in the same dynasty for so many years, there is still a tacit understanding.
"A few days ago, I received a secret report from the Ouchi guards. A group of thieves will come to assassinate me and destroy my national wedding on my grand day, when the whole country is celebrating and the wariness is at its lowest.
Trample on my prestige."
"Since he came to assassinate me on my wedding day, the thief's intentions are very sinister."
"I was so shocked when I first heard that someone dared to assassinate the king of a country."
"The Ouchi guards immediately launched an investigation. However, the thief's whereabouts were secretive and they were unable to find out where the thief was hiding."
"In desperation, I can only discuss with Mr. Yun to advance the date of the national wedding and put on a good show for those thieves who harbor evil intentions. Let them come to assassinate and catch the turtle in the urn."
"I and I have set up a dragnet to wait for the thieves to come and assassinate us. Since this is a play, the bride will naturally not let my future queen, Yun Xiaoxi, appear in person."
"However, there is a gap in all the secrets. I and the old Duke never expected that a dragnet had been set up in the palace, and the thieves would turn around and assassinate the Queen's sedan chair."
"No, it's not appropriate to call her the Queen. She should be said to be the Queen's stand-in maid."
"I was furious when I first heard about it yesterday. I didn't expect that they actually dared to assassinate me. What made me even more angry was that although the person who was assassinated was just a stand-in, the queen's stand-in could die. Does that mean that if the news was not received in advance?
If you set up a trick, my real queen will have already passed away just after leaving the palace and before entering the palace to marry me!"
"The majestic master of the capital, at the feet of the emperor, was successfully assassinated by a thief in broad daylight."
"Let's leave in peace and grandly. Where is my face, your face, and Dalong's face?"
