After walking a few steps, Dongfang Chen decisively turned back and headed back to Leng Gong.
He wanted to make sure for himself that the woman had never left the cold palace.
Cold palace.
Regarding Dongfang Chen's second arrival, the eunuch guarding the door was even more panicked than yesterday. After all, yesterday, Dongfang Chen had just ordered the killing of six people. If he comes again today, he doesn't know who he will ask for surgery.
Dongfang Chen was swept into Yun Jingshu's room like a whirlwind. In the room, a little palace maid sitting by the bed heard the sound and turned her head quickly. When she saw that the emperor was coming in person, a flash of panic flashed on her face, and she quickly knelt down and saluted:
"Slave, please see your Majesty."
Dongfang Chen strode to the bedside, then looked at "Yun Jingshu" who had no change on the bed from yesterday, and said coldly: "After the abolition, the Yun family will always stay here?"
"Yes." The palace maid said tremblingly.
Dongfang Chen's gloomy gaze turned around on "Yun Jingshu's" face, and then swept out like a whirlwind just like when he came in.
After a trip to Leng Palace, needless to say, Dongfang Chen was late for the morning.
Jinluan Palace.
Civil and military officials were gathering together in twos and threes, discussing something in low voices.
"The Emperor has arrived——" Outside the Jinluan Palace, announcements came one after another.
All the officials looked stern and stood respectfully.
Because he was angry, Dongfang Chen's pace was very fast, almost racing.
The ministers who spotted Dongfang Chen's figure quickly lowered their heads, held their breath, and tried to reduce their presence as much as possible. These are troubled times, and smart people know how to behave with their tails between their legs.
After all the ministers shouted long live, Dongfang Chen let the officials stand behind him and slowly scanned the officials with a pair of cold eyes.
All the officials were as silent as a cicada, not daring to raise their heads.
"I think you have all heard about the murder of Gongsun Nan, the Minister of Punishment, right?" Finally, in the dead silence, Dongfang Chen spoke coldly.
"..." The eyes of the officials all drifted for a moment, and they did not dare to say a word.
Although Zhang Xu blocked the news immediately, many people still got the news.
"If you haven't heard, I will tell you again. Just the night before and last night, someone pretended to be the deposed Queen Yun and broke into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. The night before and after killing Gongsun Nan and a dozen jailers, yesterday
In the evening, I drove away Zhang Xu and the jailer who were interrogating Yun Jingteng, and killed a master. Such an act was really a heinous crime. Now, Gongsun Nan is dead, and Zhang Xu has been imprisoned by me for leaving his post without authorization. This case is still
The trial needs to continue, which one of you is willing to volunteer and take on this responsibility?" Dongfang Chen said while inspecting the civil and military officials below.
…
The whole hall was silent!
No one stood up to take orders.
Ordinarily, this is an opportunity for some lower-level officials to climb up the ranks, but when it comes to the legendary Queen Yun, they become intimidated.
In fact, Queen Yun is an invincible curse in their minds, whether they view her with hostility or admiration.
Although fame is valuable, life is more valuable. If your life is lost, what's the use of fame.
Therefore, no one is willing to risk their lives and take orders voluntarily.
Dongfang Chen's face suddenly darkened. He slapped the armrest of the dragon chair and shouted sternly: "A bunch of useless things! What's the use of you if you just back down at the critical moment?!"
"I am guilty! Your Majesty, calm down!" All the officials knelt down and apologized.
"Let me tell you again, who is willing to take over this case? If the case is successfully solved, I will not only let her get promoted to two levels in a row, but also give her a lot of rewards!" Dongfang Chen said with a gloomy face.
