Ye Qinghuai fell down and went straight to Wenxuan Hall.

After she announced today, Lu Yanchen will no longer be the master of Wenxuan Hall.

She and Lu Yanchen had been teachers and students for two years, and spent most of the time in this Wenxuan Hall, so that every time she walked into this Wenxuan Hall, there would be some warmth and nostalgia in her heart.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to clean up?" Li Baoquan who followed behind confirmed to her again.

Ye Qinghuai sighed softly, and said: "Clean it up. Mister has resigned from the position of Emperor Teacher, and staying here will only provoke people's tongues."

Li Baoquan responded, and began to order his little eunuchs to pack up Lu Yanchen's things.

Ye Qinghuai sat by the desk, watching them tidy up his inkstone and paperweight, the books and letters he brought into the palace, and suddenly felt Lu Yanchen's departure.

These pens, inks, papers and inkstones are all the traces of her being taught by him, little by little, hiding her deep or shallow intentions.

The midday sun was shining outside the door, the courtyard was quiet and peaceful, and Ye Qinghuai felt her heart calm down.

She thought of the countless afternoons when Lu Yanchen taught her. Many times, they just sat quietly in a room, doing their own things at their respective desks, without saying a word.

Every time at that time, Ye Qinghuai thought in her heart, it would be great if such days could last forever.

But from today onwards, Lu Yanchen will never appear in this room again.

He is no longer her husband.

"Your Majesty, General Chu Dingguo seeks an audience." Li Baoquan's voice brought back Ye Qinghuai's thoughts.

"In such a hurry? We've chased you all the way here." Ye Qinghuai said, sat up straight, and ordered, "Let him in."

As soon as Chu Dingguo saw Ye Qinghuai, he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, there will be a debt of grace in the end. Du Zhengen was taken away by the Ministry of Punishment."

Ye Qinghuai paused in her heart and asked, "What's going on?"

Chu Dingguo lowered his head with some shame, and said: "After Li Gonggong announced the decree that day, the last general took Du Zhengen down. But he insisted that he didn't know Concubine Lan, saying that he thought she was a spy who had infiltrated the palace. Pretending to be a cook, You Yawei was interrogated routinely, but because she refused to cooperate, she was killed by mistake during the interrogation."

"The general saw his nonsense, so he frightened him twice, but he..." Chu Dingguo blushed a little angrily, and said, "He said that the general abused lynching and wanted to file a complaint with the Ministry of Criminal Justice for a fair interrogation. He was locked up well, no one came in or out except the food deliverer, and I don’t know where he got the news, early this morning, someone from the Ministry of Punishment came and took him away with official documents.”

Ye Qinghuai frowned and asked, "How did you scare him?"

"I... I just kicked him twice."

"Can you see the injury?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

"The final general doesn't need much effort, but there will probably be some bruises." Chu Dingguo thought.

Ye Qinghuai frowned, supported his forehead and said, "That's it."

She sighed softly and closed her eyes.

"Your Majesty, the general swears to heaven that he never hurt him, let alone a lynching. What he did to Concubine Lan is a lynching!"

Ye Qinghuai raised her eyes, looked at him calmly, and asked, "I ask you, where was Concubine Lan tortured?"

Chu Dingguo didn't seem to understand why Ye Qinghuai asked such a question, he was taken aback for a moment, and replied, "Department of Punishment."

"Where did you 'scare' him?" Ye Qinghuai emphasized the word "scare".

"Youyafu Secretary..." At this point, he seemed to have thought of something, and his voice dropped.

"You Yawei only has the right to detain, not to torture. But the Punishment Department has it. As long as a person is tortured in the Punishment Department, it can be justified. But in your You Yafu Department," Ye Qing Huai changed the subject and her expression became as sharp as a knife. She sat up, approached Chu Dingguo, looked directly at him and said, "Even if he loses a strand of hair, he can sue you for abuse of lynching. All you can do is ask questions." , if he doesn’t answer, you can’t do anything.”

After speaking, she leaned back on the back of the chair, and the sharpness in her eyes disappeared in an instant.

"If the Ministry of Punishment is cruel, you are now in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."

Chu Dingguo suddenly realized, clasped his fists and said: "The last general is reckless, please punish him!"

Ye Qinghuai looked at him, shook his head slowly, and said, "I don't blame you, it's because I forced you too much."

Now she had to agree with Gu Shihai's comment on Chu Dingguo: brave, but not a general.

But besides Chu Dingguo, who else can she trust, who can she use?
Ye Qinghuai began to calculate in her mind.

There was silence between the two for a while, Chu Dingguo hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, there is one thing that I don't understand at the end."

"You said."

"Why does Your Majesty let the last general go to worship Xu Liang? He is following his power, bullying the weak and fearing the hard, and even wielding a knife at His Majesty. It is not a pity for a villain like him to die. What is there to worship?" Chu Dingguo said later, his tone Unspeakably angry.

Ye Qinghuai was originally so angry by his operations that she didn't want to speak, but when she looked up and saw his upright and upright face, and his piercing and straightforward eyes, she suddenly felt annoyed again.

In today's imperial court, it is very rare to have such a pure heart with clear grievances and hatred.

"Although you are dissatisfied, you still went." Ye Qinghuai said.

Chu Dingguo did not speak.

Ye Qinghuai asked again: "When you went to worship him, didn't you meet anyone?"

"The last general met the guards of the right yamen. They seemed to be following the late general, thinking that the late general was going to do something bad."

"and then?"

"They didn't expect the general to pay homage to Xu Liang, and they were very surprised, so they went for a few weeks to pay homage, chatted with the general for a while, and then went back together."

Ye Qinghuai nodded and said, "It was I who led them there."

Chu Dingguo's eyes widened in shock. After a long time, he asked in disbelief, "Why? Does Your Majesty think that a villain like Xu Liang is worthy of worship?"

"Of course not. He brought people into the palace, turned black and white, killed my people, and scolded me for being confused. I can't wait to let him down." Ye Qinghuai's eyes flashed cold, but he calmed down quickly, "I What is needed is not that you go to worship him, but that the guards of the Youya Guard see you worshiping him. In this way, the Youya Guard will feel that you, the new commander who descended from the sky, is not their enemy. In this way, you can Stand firm in Yaweili."

Chu Dingguo looked at Ye Qinghuai with surprise in his eyes.

Ye Qinghuai could tell that he did not approve of this behavior.

"Chu Dingguo, I ask you, you always say they are evil people, so are you following me to be a good person?"

Chu Dingguo nodded.

"Then I'm telling you, being a good person requires more than being passionate. In this world, to be a wicked person, you need to be vicious and cunning. To be a good person, you need to be more vicious and cunning than a wicked person."

After speaking, Ye Qinghuai showed a gentle smile to Chu Dingguo.

She smiled beautifully, but her eyes were deeper than the ancient night sky, unable to see to the bottom.

Chu Dingguo suddenly felt that the emperor might be far more than 16 years old.

He believed even at the age of 60.
