"Master Prime Minister, what does your daughter's affairs have to do with me?"
"You ungrateful guy, do you still remember when I saved you?"
"of course I remember."
"It's good that you remember, but why did you attack my little girl?"
"What do you mean, Prime Minister?"
"Stop pretending. Qianqian was captured by your men. Don't you know?"
"What? Arrested? I clearly said "please", how could it be arrest? I will investigate this matter carefully when I return to the hospital."
"You!" Fu Yu was frustrated and pointed at Xia Shang, "Boy, let me tell you, I can't control you if you do whatever you want in the capital, but if my daughter has any shortcomings, I will fight you to the death."
"Why should the Prime Minister be angry? Your Majesty has already made it clear that my people just went to invite the young lady to be a guest in the courtyard, and there was nothing wrong with it. Instead of telling this to your Majesty again, it would be better to send someone to the courtyard to ask questions in person.
Ask, see if Miss Fu is willing to go back with you."
"Hoo!" The Prime Minister let out a long breath, blowing so hard that his beard stood up. He had never sent someone to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to inquire about it. The family talked to his daughter personally, but his daughter refused to go home no matter what.
, I just stayed in a ghost place like the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and I don’t know what evil happened to me.
If not for this, how could Prime Minister Fu Yu be so angry?
"Xia, what kind of ecstasy soup did you pour into my daughter? Why doesn't she want to go home with the people in the house? Did you threaten her secretly?"
"Threatening? I don't dare. That's the Prime Minister's daughter. Even if I have the courage, I wouldn't dare to be disrespectful to the Prime Minister's daughter, right?"
"Then why doesn't she come back?"
"I'm afraid I have to ask the Prime Minister himself. Is it because the relationship with Ling Qianjin has not been very harmonious recently? It makes her unwilling to live at home."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"The people from Xiaguan just briefly told Miss Fu my plan. Because Xiaguan wanted to give the adults in the capital a slap in the face, so that the adults in the capital should not play with fire too much, otherwise they would easily burn themselves.
As the head of hundreds of officials, the Prime Minister has considerable power in the capital. The lower officials don’t know who was behind the assassination of the Queen yesterday, so naturally the Prime Minister also
One of the objects of suspicion."
"Xia, you are playing with fire! How can you arrest people randomly without knowing the real culprit?"
"It's just a knock, there's no fight over anyone. Miss Fu is also a guest I sincerely invited, and I told her that I hope she can cooperate."
"Cooperating with what?"
"Cooperate with my plan and let her stay in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for a few more days. Don't be so anxious to follow the Prime Minister home. I don't want Miss Fu to be very happy after hearing the official's plan. She said that she will definitely cooperate, even if the Prime Minister goes to invite her in person.
, she won’t leave either. From this point of view, Miss Fu seems to be quite dissatisfied with the Prime Minister, otherwise how could she be so happy to see the Prime Minister deflated?"
"Xia Shang, no matter what you want to do, you'd better not have any bad intentions towards my daughter."
"The Prime Minister can say whatever he wants in private, but in court later, the Prime Minister should not be so quarrelsome."
Fu Yu glanced at Xia Shang and knew what he meant. He flung his sleeves angrily and walked quickly to the main hall.
After walking all this way, Xia Shang also arrived at the entrance of Jinluan Palace.
Not every official who came today can enter the palace directly. Most of the officials are minor officials in the capital. They will only enter the palace if they have important matters to report, and they must wait for the emperor's permission before they can enter the palace.
Many officials who could have gone to court were taken into the dungeon of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Although there were many officials waiting outside the Jinluan Hall, there were fewer people inside the Jinluan Hall than before.
Such a scene has never been seen in the history of the Chinese Dynasty.
Because some officials were blocked outside the palace and did not enter, today's morning dynasty started slower than usual.
Xia Shang was also one of the people who could not enter the palace directly, so he stood at the door and waited.
Now that the news of Xia Shang's entry into the palace has spread, everyone knows that this youngest official is the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the mastermind of last night's riot. Officials from all walks of life are very afraid and keep a long distance from Xia Shang.
Discussing quietly on the side.
Xia Shang thought for a while and planned to use this last little time to put a little pressure on the officials around him, just like he had threatened Lin Yongshi before.
Just as Xia Shang was about to walk in the direction of the officials, someone came quickly from the side corridor.
The little palace maid gently pulled Xia Shang and said in a low voice: "My lord, the queen has invited me."
Queen?
Xia Shang frowned slightly, but he was not surprised. From the moment he entered the palace, he had foreseen that he would directly face the woman who scared him.
He paused and nodded towards the palace maid: "Lead the way."
Xia Shang followed the palace maid and walked half a circle around the main hall from the aisle beside the Jinluan Palace to the back of the Jinluan Palace. He entered the palace from the back and went directly to the screen where the throne of the Jinluan Palace was located.
It turned out that the queen was already waiting there.
This is a relatively small space, where the emperor waits for all officials to be ready before going to court. Only when all officials are ready will the emperor appear to go to court.
There is only one bench on the back of the screen, because only the emperor is qualified to sit in this place, and only the emperor and his accompanying maids and eunuchs are qualified to appear in this area.
There is no emperor here, only a young eunuch and two maids. The queen is lying on a chair with her eyes closed, looking very enjoying herself. She has no shoes on, and her smooth feet are looming under the gold crocheted gauze skirt, and her shawl is hanging.
At the other end of the bench, the gold faucet armrest is covered.
There is a brazier at the feet, the fire is very small, and there are silk curtains on all sides, wrapping all the heat in this small space.
"Ahem..." Xia Shang coughed twice, and then he woke up the queen who was in a daze.
Seeing Xia Shang, the queen turned sideways lazily, her eyebrows flashed, she blinked, and she didn't say anything. The corners of her pretty mouth were slightly raised, half-smiling, and she didn't know what message she was sending to Xia Shang.
"Please see..."
Xia Shang clasped his fists and prepared to bow, not wanting to be interrupted by the queen, "Are you here? Come and sit."
The queen still turned sideways, moved into the chair, patted the empty space in front of her, and motioned for Xia Shang to come over.
Xia Shang frowned and whispered: "Don't joke with me."
The queen wanted to say something, but suddenly saw the maids and eunuchs beside her, and waved to them.
Everyone in the small space went out, leaving only Xia Shang and the Queen.
