After the rebirth, the queen took the Meiqiang tragedy script

Chapter 20
The carriage was parked in an alley dozens of steps away from Donglinmen, and the city gate could be seen, but not here.

The wind outside the city gate was stronger, but fortunately Ye Qinghuai was still wearing Lu Yanchen's cloak.

Seeing Lu Yanchen get out of the car, Ye Qinghuai took off the cloak and returned it to him.

Lu Yanchen took off his cloak, looked at her deeply, and said: "What your majesty said, I will keep in mind. But I also have a word of advice."

"Sir, please speak."

"Your Majesty, you can't take such risks anymore. Not every time, you will meet a humble minister." Lu Yanchen said very seriously. Please tell Wei Chen in advance."

Ye Qinghuai smiled, and replied: "Okay, the students will remember the teacher's teaching."

After saying that, she looked in the direction of Donglinmen, and seeing no one, she turned her head and said to Lu Yanchen: "I'm sorry to bother you today, sir, I'm going back to the palace, sir, please go back too."

The two saluted each other, and Ye Qinghuai headed towards the east gate.

As soon as Ye Qinghuai walked to the Donglin gate, she saw Li Baoquan standing beside the guard guarding the gate from a distance.He was pacing back and forth, visibly anxious.

Seeing Ye Qinghuai, he trotted over quickly.

Seeing that his eyes were bloodshot, Ye Qinghuai couldn't help but feel warm and feel guilty thinking that he hadn't slept much in the past two days.

"It can be counted as coming back." Li Baoquan looked her up and down, and then led her straight into the door.

The guard at Donglinmen should have been greeted by him, and he didn't even look at Ye Qinghuai.

Ye Qinghuai followed Li Baoquan a few steps in, and subconsciously turned her head to look outside the door.

Contrary to her expectations, under the dead tree beside Zhengde North Street, there was still a slender figure standing, holding the cloak in his hand, looking in the direction of the east gate, even if he saw Ye Qinghuai was safe He entered the door without any intention of leaving.

After being scolded by Li Baoquan, Ye Qinghuai was scolded by Aunt Fanghua again when she returned to Jingshou Palace.

It had been a long time since she had been scolded so much in one day.

"You child, how can you spend the night outside? Do you know how dangerous it is?" Aunt Fanghua rebuked Ye Qinghuai while changing her clothes.

"No need, aunt, I can do it myself." Ye Qinghuai took the ribbon from Aunt Fanghua's hand, and tied the inner coat by herself, "You remember to dispose of the clothes I wore."

"Oh, if there is a next time, I won't help you to be sloppy." Aunt Fanghua was talking about it, while tidying up the clothes Ye Qinghuai wore when going out of the palace.

"No one has come to see me in the past two days, right?"

"Not really."

"It seems that there are advantages to not having a sense of presence." Ye Qinghuai joked.

"You're still proud, you—" Aunt Fanghua's voice suddenly stopped, her hands trembled, and the clothes in her hands fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty, where are you injured? Let me see." Aunt Fanghua suddenly turned around and was about to peel off the undershirt Ye Qinghuai had just put on.

Ye Qinghuai was confused: "I'm not hurt."

Aunt Fanghua saw that she didn't seem to be lying, so she picked up the clothes on the ground and rummaged through them: "Then why is there blood on the clothes?"

"What did you say?" Ye Qinghuai was shocked when she heard this, and took the clothes from her hand.

There was indeed a small spot of blood on the gray padded gown, not hard to find, just outside the right leg.Because it was dark, it was not found before.

Ye Qinghuai looked at the bloodstain and fell into deep thought.

"Could it be your menstrual event..." Aunt Fanghua asked.

"No, this location cannot be menstrual blood." Ye Qinghuai denied Aunt Fanghua's guess.

This must have been picked up somewhere.

But she has only had one person today.This bloodstain was either rubbed on Lu Yanchen's sleeve when he carried her on his back, or it was on the top of the cloak.

It was able to get on her body, which means that the blood was not dry at that time.

Ye Qinghuai's doubts about Lu Yanchen that had just been dispelled came to mind again——

What exactly did Lu Yanchen do in the ghost market?

Early the next morning, the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

There are a lot of things to do in the first morning after the rest, but now that the New Year is approaching, there are not many reports from the ministries, and even fewer things need to be discussed in the morning.Soon, the Hall of Supreme Harmony fell into silence.

At this moment, Du Jing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, stood up and said to Ye Qinghuai: "I report to your Majesty, the prison of the Ministry of Punishment was broken into three days ago. The ministers are incompetent. Although the thief failed to rob the prison, the Ministry of Punishment failed to catch him." The person who robbed the prison."

After Du Jing finished speaking, he knelt down on the ground.

"What happened three days ago, why did you report it today?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

"Since the 13th year of Xingrui, there has been no such major omission in the prison of the Ministry of Justice for 25 years. I wanted to catch the thief, find out the reason, and then come to plead guilty to His Majesty."

Ye Qinghuai knew about the robbery of the Heavenly Prison, but Du Jing told the court that it was not just for the sake of pleading guilty, so Ye Qinghuai followed his words and asked: "The sky is as strong as gold, but the thieves can Come and go freely, how could such a thing happen?"

"This matter is what I want to report to Your Majesty. There are only three thieves who robbed the prison, but there are some guards in the sky prison who cooperate with them."

"Have you found out who it is?"

"It was found out that it was the head of the prison on duty that day. After the robbery, he disappeared. Your Majesty, the person the robbers attempted to rob this time was the criminal Wang Lisong who was locked in the sky prison. This person is good at motivating others with words. , there are quite a lot of party members in Shengjing City, I am worried that such a thing will happen again."

After finishing speaking, Du Jing kowtowed heavily on the ground, and said: "I implore Your Majesty to sentence this person severely and behead him for public display, so as to deter the rest of the party's illegal minds."

He spoke generously, but he had the air of a loyal minister admonishing him.

Ye Qinghuai did not expect that it was Wang Lisong who robbed the prison in the sky prison. When she heard this name, for some reason, the figure of Lu Yanchen in black flashed in her mind inexplicably.

On the other hand, Ye Qinghuai was a little puzzled, who is this Wang Lisong, who actually let these people bite him, exile is not enough, he insisted on beheading him in the street.

She was about to refute Du Jing when Chen Yuansi, who stood at the head of the officials, spoke first.

"Then Wang Lisong has already pleaded guilty and wants to be exiled? Why do you want to behead again? Your Majesty has just been in charge, and you are going to set up a prison. What are you going to do? Where do you put your majesty's holy name?"

Chen Yuansi is 67 years old this year, he speaks slowly, but has a faint majesty.

It has to be said that Ye Qinghuai is somewhat grateful to him for stepping forward at this time, whether it is for party struggle or what.

When he said this, Gu Shihai also stood up and said: "Because the majesty of the emperor is inviolable, His Majesty should punish such bandits severely in the early days of his administration, so as to make an example of others. Otherwise, everyone would dare to follow Wang Lisong's example." For example, if you have no respect for His Majesty, how will you subdue the people of the world in the future?"
