The next day's court meeting
Yiman wore a formal dress and walked towards Hanyuan Hall.

Before he arrived, he saw Eunuch Fu coming out to welcome him.

"Princess, why are you here?"

Yiman nodded with a smile, "Eunuch Fu, if I could please see your Majesty."

Duke Fu glanced at Hanyuan Hall and said, "The court meeting is not over yet, why don't the eldest princess go to Yanying Hall and wait?"

Yiman smiled and shook his head slightly, "No, we just have to be at the court meeting. Eunuch Fu, let's go together."

As he said that, he ignored the etiquette and pretended to put his hand on Eunuch Fu's wrist, but in fact he grabbed Eunuch Fu with all his strength.

If Eunuch Fu came to block her, the emperor must have known that she was going this way.After catching Eunuch Fu, Eunuch Fu, who was also saved, went back to report the news.

When he reached the entrance of Hanyuan Hall, the emperor was shocked to see Yiman's figure, and then became angry.

The little eunuch at the door had no choice but to say, "Princess Feiqing has arrived——"

"I see Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live."

"Princess, why are you coming to court?"

Yiman raised his head and smiled, "The emperor's brother passed away and the murderer has not been found yet. I am here to inquire."

Tong Lu had always been a close minister of the emperor. After looking at the emperor's face, he stood up with his hands raised, "Princess, murdering the prince is really a major crime among the nine tribes. The Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and Zongzheng Temple have begun to investigate with all their strength. I think it will be done soon." There are results.”

Tong Lu didn't know what he said was wrong. He glanced at the emperor and saw that his expression became even more ugly.He quickly continued, "But the eldest princess has no right to ask, so she should retreat from the palace."

Yiman kept looking at the emperor and smiled slightly, "If he is from the harem, does he have something to do with me? I can ask him about it?"

The emperor glanced at Man Man calmly and said nothing.

Tong Lu was shocked. Looking at the emperor's face, he asked tentatively, "Does the eldest princess know who poisoned the prince?"

Only then did Yiman turn around and look at Tong Lu, "Master Tong, Your Majesty hasn't spoken yet. Why does Master Tong keep asking? Do you have any thoughts about the prince being poisoned?"

"The eldest princess is joking."

Yiman immediately looked away and looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty, the prince was poisoned in the palace. I have checked the entry and exit records of the East Palace, and no foreign ministers entered. And the prince has personal guards around him. If an outsider breaks in, Poison will inevitably be detected.

Therefore - the most likely possibility is that there is a traitor in the East Palace.The East Palace is in the imperial city, and the people in the palace who come into contact with most are the people in the palace.

I believe that the investigation must start from within the palace.From top to bottom in the East Palace, from the grandson of Emperor Liangdi to the eunuch Sasao, and since the death of the crown prince, no one has left the imperial city. I have sent people to conduct an internal investigation of the East Palace.

In the imperial city, the Qingning Palace should take the lead, with the assistance of the two provinces and the prisoner Kang, and the results will be obtained from the screening in the palace. "

The emperor spoke calmly, "Are you done? Is there anything else?"

Yiman lowered his eyes and clenched his fists, "Yes, I want to participate in politics."

"what--"

"Participate in politics?"

"How can the harem participate in politics?"

Listening to the old-fashioned rhetoric of the ministers, he smiled and said nothing. Seeing that the emperor did not react much, he smiled slightly and said, "If all you gentlemen have these old-fashioned words, you might as well listen to what I have to say."

After saying that, he looked at the emperor.

The calmer the emperor is, the more overwhelming he is, and he shows his power without anger, which is vividly reflected.

"Say."

After receiving the emperor's approval, he looked calm and said, "I am willing to carry out the crown prince's last wish and implement the Spring Branch New Deal. Once the new deal is implemented, whether it is recruiting a son-in-law or marrying a distant state, I will be happy to do so. I only hope that the prince's legacy will be fulfilled."

"The princess's ambition is certainly good, but how can the civil and military officials and people listen to you?"

Hua Xiang had already known about the East Palace. At this moment, he stood up in a cold sweat with his hands raised, "Wei Chen is willing to support the eldest princess."

"You alone-"

When Man turned around, his fierce eyes, like a wolf and a leopard, made the official who spoke stunned and immediately closed his mouth.

Turning his head, he shook his head helplessly. How did a person like Hua Xiang, who was extremely timid and stubborn, achieve the position of Minister of Justice?Seeing that the emperor kept staring at her with lowered eyes and said nothing.

Yiman's face turned cold, "I would like to ask you to thoroughly investigate the inner palace."

It was so quiet in the hall that you could even hear your breathing.

After a long while, the emperor responded, "Yes."

Then, he stood up and left Hanyuan Hall.

"Retreat—"

The ministers looked at the eldest princess and quickly left the court, fearing that they would have anything to do with the eldest princess.

Chu Nan and others stayed and looked at Yiman in surprise.

"Princess, Your Majesty, why would Your Majesty allow the princess to participate in politics?"

Yiman smiled slightly, "Because he urgently needs someone to forcefully implement the Spring Branch New Deal, and next spring will be the first year to see the results.

And because I am a princess, I have already said that I will be willing to marry far away or recruit a consort, which means that I will not affect others in the future.

About a little more. "

"what?"

"Your Majesty wants to leave a name in history. If he is eclectic and appoints the princess, and I successfully implement the New Deal and then return power. This will be a good story in the history books about the father and daughter of the monarch and his ministers, and also a story between me and the royal brother. Good story."

The officials of the East Palace faction who were on the bright side suddenly fell silent.

Yiman took a deep breath and chuckled, "You don't have to look at me with such pitiful eyes. Since Your Majesty has given me a chance, I don't know who will win."

"Yes."

After leaving the Hanyuan Hall, Lu Bo caught up with him in a cold sweat, "Princess, you scared this servant to death just now. I even saw Yu Linwei waiting outside the Hanyuan Hall."

It seems that the emperor has murderous intentions towards her, but also wants to take advantage of her.

"Didn't you come out alive?"

"Yes, yes, princess, why do you want to bring up the matter of thorough investigation of the inner palace again before His Majesty agrees?"

When he walked out of the palace and got into the carriage, his expression was as cold as a thousand years of ice, "Because the emperor may know who poisoned the emperor's brother."

"what--"

Lu Bo immediately covered his mouth tightly and slowly lowered his hands, with fear in his eyes.

"How is this possible? Why does Your Majesty want to protect the murderer?"

"Looking at the emperor's reaction, she is either a beloved concubine or a prince. A princess is unlikely, unless she has huge use value."

"But His Highness the Crown Prince is the Emperor's biological son."

Yiman's eyes were moist and he looked out of the carriage with a mocking expression, "Death is like a lamp going out. Instead of worrying about it, it's better to keep useful things."

As soon as he returned to the eldest princess's residence, Ji Lan greeted him, "Princess, the seventh prince has arrived and asked to see you."

Yiman stood outside the flower hall with his arms folded, looking at the seventh prince walking towards him with an attentive look on his face.

What is this person's temperament?When Concubine De died, when the Seventh Princess got married, and when the Duan family fell into decline, she didn't even return to the capital.He even missed the funeral ceremony of the prince, but returned to Beijing at this time.

She had just come out of the palace and had not heard any news about the seventh prince's return to the capital.

This shows that when the seventh prince returned to Beijing, he did not go to see the emperor, but came to see her. What is the reason?
"My brother has been seeing the eldest sister since we have been apart for several months. Is the eldest sister still okay?"

The seventh prince said this and bowed respectfully.

Yiman looked at the people on the ground in confusion and never replied.

Suddenly, the seventh prince straightened up suddenly, and a dagger suddenly appeared in his hand, heading straight for Yiman's abdomen.
