Qin Qifeng made sure that Manmei was safe and sound, and angrily hit the ground with the tip of the scabbard, and said angrily to Jiang Shang and Lan Ting, "You dare to touch my daughter, he is impatient! I won't do it this time
If he keeps doing this, he will really think that I am easy to bully! If you can’t take action, I will do it! If this continues, anyone will dare to bully my son!"
Manmiao was startled, wondering why this guy was so open-minded. She quickly looked at Hua Feng. Hua Feng had a calm face and seemed not surprised by the news. He just looked at the hands of Manmiao and Jiang Shang who were a few steps apart.
, and Lan Ting's hand around the graceful shoulder looked back and forth, silent for a long time.
Before she had time to think about it, the servants of the Huangfu family had already come over one after another to urge her to go home quickly, saying that they did not dare to tell the wife. All the ladies in the house had received the news, and now they all got up and waited for them to return in the flower hall.
Manmei didn't have much to say, so she said goodbye to them in a hurry and rushed back to Huangfu's house. Naturally, she had a good explanation and finally appeased the ladies. It was already past 12 o'clock in the evening.
After arriving in ancient times, there were not many activities at night. It was past 12 o'clock in the evening, and it was already very late. Today, I had a close call and escaped with my life. I asked the girl to prepare hot water and took a good bath to relax. Anyway, she will be there tomorrow.
Nothing happened, she would sleep until she woke up naturally, and no one would say anything to her.
When Lan Ting came back from the palace in the afternoon, she and Huangfu Xun went to Lan Ting's Prince Yi's Mansion to find out news about the court. It was already dark when they entered, and the assassination of Huangfu Xun happened.
Curfews have been imposed everywhere, and interrogations have become very strict.
When I walked in, I found that many acquaintances were here.
Jiang Shang, Hua Feng, and Qin Qifeng were all there. Especially Hua Feng, he was sitting there with a tall and straight posture, like a thousand-year-old iceberg, constantly radiating cold air to the surroundings, and the whole room was deeply covered with a brazier.
I feel like I'm in an ice cellar.
After Manmei entered the door, he called the maid and whispered a few instructions, asking her to close the windows and stop the ventilation before sitting down.
I sat down next to Huangfu Xun in a very polite manner, acting like a good girl who listens to my brother and watches her nose and heart.
Hua Feng glanced at her and said to Lan Ting without blinking, "Your Highness King Yi, we envoys cannot go to court. We hope King Yi can tell us about today's situation."
It turns out that this is the reason why we all came together. On the way, I heard from Huangfu Xun that Lan Ting ordered people to pile up the corpses of the assassins at the entrance of the palace, demanding justice from the emperor. Huangfu Xun and Lan Ting went to court together to complain. It is said that
Everyone who entered the palace to go to court had to take a detour and take the remote gate. No one dared to go through the palace gate that they usually used.
There are so many tragic corpses piled up in a mountain, and the appearance of death is completely opposite to pleasing to the eye. The guards guarding the palace gate are all young soldiers who have never been on the battlefield. They usually stand guard and look out. Where can I see them?
After so many dead people? Standing there stupidly with weapons in hand, not daring to say anything, those little eunuchs from the Yellow Clan were even more frightened to the point of peeing.
The emperor was left with these corpses at the gate of the palace. Even if he was not the one who did it, everyone automatically imagined that this shit basin would be slapped on his head. Who doesn't know about the conflict between the emperor and King Yi? The hatred of seizing his wife, the desire to seize power.
Vengeance, any reason chosen is a blood feud of life and death. It is not surprising at all that the emperor sends assassins to strike first.
During the morning court, the emperor had just sat down and had not even covered his buttocks with the dragon chair. Lan Ting's officials took the lead in attacking, accusing the imperial guards and the nine admirals of neglecting their duties. Assassins sneaked into the capital to assassinate high-ranking officials. If they were not dealt with strictly, they would serve as a warning to others.
, sooner or later the assassin will kill all the dignitaries of the Blue Country.
The Imperial Guard is one of the few armies that the emperor has complete control over, so how could he deal with the Imperial Guard commander like this? With this matter, Lan Ting will definitely stir up trouble, in case a new commander is replaced by then.
It's Lan Ting's person, and he can't even sleep well.
The problem is that such a shocking case has indeed occurred in the capital, and it involves the family of border generals. If they don't give an explanation, it will easily chill the hearts of the border generals. According to past practice, Lan Ting will never accept a scapegoat.
For Lan Ting, it would be most beneficial for this matter to get bigger and bigger.
The emperor ordered the minister of Dali Temple to review the case and find the murderer first before making a decision.
Cai Jing, the minister of Dali Temple, is a neutral faction and has never taken a side. Both Lan Ting and the emperor are a little unsure on which side he wants to bet on.
"At this time, he must take sides. Otherwise, when the new master comes to power, how will he end up well? If he waits for a price and sells it at the wrong time, he may rot in his hands and become a money-losing commodity that no one wants." Manmei heard.
They discussed and muttered to themselves.
"This is the truth. Why don't King Yi send someone to contact the Minister of Dali Temple to see what his attitude is. We will also put some pressure on him in a timely manner to let him know the strength of His Highness King Yi." Qin Qifeng said very politely,
His support was clearly shown. No matter what he thought about Lan Ting before, the fact that the Emperor of the Lan Kingdom sent someone to assassinate his daughter was enough to make him completely fall in love with Lan Ting.
The Qing of Dali Temple is the official responsible for hearing the case, a bit like the president of the court. But this one has heavyweight jurors. Generally, cases where the emperor makes a preface and personally issues a decree will have several jurors. This time he will be appointed
Lan Ting and a close associate of the emperor supervised the trial.
Huangfujin was an official lady, so it was impossible for her to go to the Yamen to be questioned. Fortunately, Huangfuxun was attacked together with her. As long as Huangfuxun went there, all the witnesses would be considered.
Lan Ting listened to their discussion without saying a word. He just took the tea and drank it in sips, staring thoughtfully in a daze.
Manmei doesn't like this group of people discussing this kind of thing together. Even if Lan Ting has connections and wants to overthrow the emperor, there is no need to discuss it with you, right? I'll show you all my cards in case you change hands.
Just sold it to the emperor, and he would die of depression?
Even Qin Qifeng, she would not believe it 100%. There are no fathers and sons in the political arena. Are there too many cases of fathers and sons in the Tian family fighting each other?
Who here is not a clueless idiot? Lan Ting remained silent, so they all stopped talking and began to discuss the current situation in Lan Country.
However, except for Qin Qifeng, these countries all bordered the Blue Country, and they all seemed to have intentions. After saying a few words, they stopped talking and left one after another.
Lan Ting and Huangfu Xun sent them to the door.
When Jiang Shang left, he glanced at Manmiao several times, always looking for opportunities to communicate with her. Seeing Jiang Shang, Manmiao was now the same as seeing Hua Feng, or even worse. At least Hua Feng hadn't done it again and again.
While San was about to be silenced, Jiang Shang actually had murderous intentions and committed the murder.
