Chapter 8
The next day, Wenxuan Hall.

As soon as the class started, Ye Qinghuai showed Lu Yanchen the unstamped draft edict.

Lu Yanchen's expression was flat, as if he was not surprised by the contents of the draft.

"Mister doesn't seem to be surprised." Ye Qinghuai said.

"Weichen heard about the results of the interrogation of this case yesterday."

"Sir, what do you think of this result?" After Ye Qinghuai finished speaking, she deliberately paused before raising her head to look at Lu Yanchen.

Lu Yanchen looked at Shangye Qinghuai, immediately looked away, lowered his eyes and said: "Unexpected, but reasonable."

Ye Qinghuai said with a light smile: "Mr. once said that Wang Lisong is upright, with the ambition of a green pine, and the style of a gentleman. But according to what I see, he is just a mediocre person who is greedy for life and sacrifices righteousness. It is far from what Mr. said. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are different from each other."

Hearing the end, Lu Yanchen raised his head and looked at Ye Qinghuai. The situation in his quiet eyes suddenly changed, he was startled and frightened, and then he frowned in confusion, and finally sank down again, as if he had fallen. what decision.

"Sir, I'm afraid I've lost my sight." Seeing that Lu Yanchen was silent, Ye Qinghuai said again.

Lu Yanchen didn't answer, he was silent for a while, looked at the imperial edict in front of him, and said, "What your majesty said is true, maybe the minister missed it. Now that the case has been concluded, why doesn't your majesty reprint it?"

"Because I don't believe it. I don't believe that Mister will be mistaken." Seeing Lu Yanchen's astonished expression, Ye Qinghuai raised the corner of her mouth and smiled at him, "Mr. is the one who sees that I can be a wise king. .”

Lu Yanchen showed a helpless smile when she said this, but his eyes looked at Ye Qinghuai with a few gleams of expectation.

Ye Qinghuai restrained her smile, and said, "I believe in Mr.'s judgment, and I also believe that Wang Lisong is a man of integrity. Therefore, I think that Wang Lisong's words are insincere."

"The mirror of the Tribunal of the Third Division hangs high, and there is nowhere to hide the filth of the world. Do you know, sir, what makes him unable to speak sincerely in a court where the laws of heaven are clearly evident?" Ye Qinghuai's voice was not heavy, but she slowed down.

The teacher and the student looked at each other, and Lu Yanchen couldn't hide his admiration in his eyes. The admiration was also mixed with three points of solemnity and three points of worry.

He pondered for a long time, and said, "Have you ever heard of the old story of Mr. Mo? According to legend, when Mr. Mo went out to hunt in the city, a mantis raised its arm angrily, without fear. This move is brave, but it is also stupid. Your Majesty is extremely intelligent, and he must understand why."

Ye Qinghuai thought for a while, then said with a wry smile: "Sir, you are saying that my mantis is like a cart, and I don't know what I can do. Why don't I know? But I don't want to be a mantis with strings all my life. Even if it is Mo Gong's cart, I would like to try it, and I must try it. I just don't know how to do it. Might sir teach me?"

Ye Qinghuai looked at Lu Yanchen with sincerity in his eyes.Teacher and student for three years, only at this moment, Ye Qinghuai really regarded him as a teacher to ask for advice.

It is a great courtesy for the emperor to call himself "I".Lu Yanchen was obviously also taken aback, but the look of surprise was only fleeting on his face. There was a flash of sharpness in his eyes, and the line of his jaw tightened a little, and he said: "If your majesty makes such a decision, my minister will I have two words to tell Your Majesty."

"Sir, please speak."

"First, know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. Second, to overthrow the great and destroy the strong, you should plan it slowly."

"It's a pity that I don't even know who my opponent is now. Please tell me clearly how to know yourself and your enemy."

Ye Qinghuai pressed her words step by step, trying to dig out the name "Gu Shihai" from Lu Yanchen's mouth.

However, Lu Yanchen said: "Your Majesty forgot what I have just told His Majesty. To shake things up, we should do it slowly."

Ye Qinghuai was choked by him, couldn't help sighing, and finally said: "I understand. I have written down the teacher's teaching."

Lu Yanchen had scruples in her heart. Although Ye Qinghuai didn't know what he was scruples about, she could tell from his resolute eyes that it was impossible for her to ask anything today.

As soon as the class was over, Ye Qinghuai ignored Lu Yanchen's instructions.

She decided to leave the palace.

She could take it slowly, but Wang Lisong couldn't wait that long.

Although this edict was temporarily suppressed by her, it could not be delayed for a few days.Once the real Wang Lisong is exiled in Leizhou, it will be difficult for Ye Qinghuai to find him again.

Moreover, Ye Qinghuai did not know whether Lu Yanchen's "slow drawing" was out of consideration for the emperor's protection and the overall situation, or was it a tactic to delay the attack in order to deal with Wang Lisong.

After all, she was forced to commit suicide once in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and Ye Qinghuai was always on guard against Lu Yanchen.

There was still an hour before sunset, and Ye Qinghuai called Aunt Fanghua over and told her that she was going to leave the palace in modest clothes, but Aunt Fanghua objected immediately.

"Why does Your Majesty suddenly want to go out of the palace to play again?" Aunt Fanghua was very dizzy.

"I promise to come back before dark, aunt, just help me." Ye Qinghuai said coquettishly, holding her sleeve.

"Hey, you child..." Aunt Fanghua couldn't stand her acting like a baby, her tone softened all of a sudden.

Ye Qinghuai quickly interrupted her and said, "Auntie has agreed! Auntie, remember, if someone comes, they will say that I have stopped feeling unwell, and if it doesn't work, call Grandpa Zhou for a pulse check."

"Okay, okay." Aunt Fanghua replied, while tidying up Ye Qinghuai's casual clothes worriedly, "Let Commander Yan send two reliable hands to follow, and don't run around outside the palace, it's very dangerous outside the palace. And this, put it away so that no one can see it.”

Aunt Fanghua carefully folded the menstrual belt, wrapped it up and stuffed it into her chest.

Ye Qinghuai responded one after another.When she finished tidying up, Li Baoquan was already waiting outside.

Aunt Fanghua looked around and saw no one except Li Baoquan, so she couldn't help but look suspicious and asked Li Baoquan, "Why are you the only one?"

A flash of surprise flashed across Li Baoquan's face, but he quickly covered it up naturally. Just as he was about to answer, Ye Qinghuai rushed ahead of him and said to Aunt Fanghua: "This matter is confidential, I will let others wait for it." It's at the gate of the palace."

Only then did Aunt Fanghua breathe a sigh of relief, and said, "Your Majesty came back earlier, and this servant ordered the Imperial Dining Room to make His Majesty's favorite skating row."

Ye Qinghuai nodded and said, "Okay. Please trouble my aunt in the palace."

After finishing speaking, she took Li Baoquan out of the gate of Jingshou Palace.

As soon as she left the palace gate, she gave up her position and let Li Baoquan walk in front of her.

"Has everything been arranged?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

"Going back to His Majesty, everything has been arranged. Your Majesty will go out from Donglinmen to Zhengde North Street."

Ye Qinghuai nodded.

She didn't plan to bring any guards with her on this trip at all, and she didn't just sneak out in some upright clothes.There were very few people she trusted in the harem, so she only informed Li Baoquan and asked him to arrange for her to leave the palace secretly.

Li Baoquan was left to Ye Qinghuai by Emperor Shunping. He grew up with Emperor Shunping since he was a child. He once defended Emperor Shunping and was a loyal servant.

After all, Li Baoquan is the head of the big house, so it is very easy to arrange someone to go out without anyone noticing.

Ye Qinghuai followed Li Bao's body with her head down, and she didn't meet a single person along the way except for a few cleaning ladies.When the two walked along the palace wall to the east gate, Li Baoquan suddenly slowed down his pace and said, "Your Majesty, this old slave is a slave. A slave shouldn't talk too much when his master does things. Is it because I am worried, but I still want to persuade Your Majesty. Let's not leave the palace. It is not peaceful outside the palace. Your Majesty is a daughter of gold. He should not think about himself, but also think about the community. What is there outside the palace that is not in the palace, old slave Just send them to the palace."

Ye Qinghuai stopped, looked up at the towering palace wall, sighed, and said, "You can't bring what I'm looking for into the palace. No one can bring it into the palace."

Li Baoquan was puzzled: "Your Majesty has taken a fancy to something outside the palace?"

Ye Qinghuai did not answer him.She withdrew her gaze and looked in the direction of Donglinmen with a gloomy expression. After a while, she said, "Let's go."

Every step she took was extremely firm.

There is one thing outside the palace that cannot be brought into the palace, and no one can fetch it for her, only she can fetch it herself.

That is the truth.
