Chapter 47
Ning Yuezhao's attitude was not eased by Jiang Nian's gentleness, she still asked coldly, "How do you know I'm here?"

Jiang Nian waved his hand helplessly, "You said you were not feeling well, but I didn't see you when I went to the Dragon Palace, so I knew you were out of the palace."

What he said was actually tactful. He originally summoned his father to ask about An Chen's affairs.Then he went straight to the Rising Dragon Hall, and the palace guard on duty at that time told him that His Majesty was taking a nap.Based on his understanding of her, knowing that she would never be able to sleep after knowing this matter.

When he was thinking about how to deal with it, he saw Qingchi secretly ordering a few eunuchs to do something, so he quietly followed and found that they had prepared an ordinary carriage.

Later, Zuo Ming sent someone to tell him that Ning Yuezhao had gone to the Ministry of Punishment and that An Chen's body had been transported back to the courtyard outside the palace. Ning Yuezhao also handed over the prisoners who killed An Chen to the Governor's Mansion of the Imperial Army.

Then, her whereabouts are not difficult to guess.

Originally, he also believed in An Chen's death, but when he came to An Zhai, he found that Ning Yuezhao was not in the mourning hall,
The old housekeeper originally said that she had already left, but now he came from the backyard and glared at him.

Ning Yuezhao sullenly said coldly, "Oh, I just want to go back, so let's go."

Jiang Nian couldn't help but glance at the crucified coffin again.

Ning Yuezhao had already walked a few steps outside, seeing that he didn't keep up, and turned around to find that he was staring at the coffin again, so she said displeasedly: "It's getting dark, don't you want to stay and watch the coffin?"

Jiang Nian withdrew his gaze, followed her footsteps, and said helplessly, "Here we come."

After leaving Anzhai, Ning Yuezhao boarded the carriage by herself.

Jiang Nian hesitated for a moment, but he still didn't share the same carriage with her, and sat alone in the carriage he had come by.

So, the two cars drove unsteadily towards the palace.

"Your Highness, are you having trouble with His Majesty again?" Jing Ming was waiting outside Anzhai, and when she saw Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian coming out one after the other, she still had a displeased face in front of her.

Jiang Nian rubbed the center of his brows, "It's okay, is the matter I asked you to arrange properly?"

Jing Ming lowered her voice and said, "Don't worry, everything outside the house has been arranged."

Jiang Nian nodded, leaned wearily against the wall of the carriage, and did not speak.

Jing Ming said again: "Your Highness, I was fine just now, and I circled around this house, guess what I saw?"

"What did you see?" Jiang Nian raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I saw Guard Yan sending an old man with gray hair out from the back door, and that old man is the best doctor in Boji Hall." Jing Ming was very impressed with this old doctor, because when Jiang's family got sick, they always went to Boji Hall. Please doctor.

There was a cold smile on Jiang Nian's face, it seemed that he guessed right, An Chen might not be dead yet.So the old butler nailed the coffin to death early, I am afraid that the coffin was empty at all.Ning Yuezhao was in a hurry to return to the palace, and she didn't want him to stay in Anzhai anymore, lest Anchen's secret be discovered.

Looking at his master's expression, Jing Ming knew that the brilliant Jiang Nian must have thought of something.

Jiang Nian said slowly: "Don't say anything about this matter, just let people watch it carefully, and report it immediately if there is any situation."

"Yes."

He returned to the palace soon, and as soon as he got out of the car, Ning Yuezhao returned to Shenglong Palace on the pretext of feeling unwell.

Jiang Nian didn't say much to her, but went back to the Yizheng Hall to continue reading the unfinished notes.

But Ning Yuezhao did not rest after entering the Dragon Hall, but summoned Zuo Ming, the commander of the imperial army.

With the means of the Forbidden Army, there is no one in Zuo Ming's hands who can't speak.

Therefore, at this moment Zuo Ming originally asked to see the Empress to report the progress.

"Have you found out everything?" In the empty hall, Ning Yuezhao sat in the first seat with a solemn expression.

Zuo Ming cupped his hands and said, "I've found out, those people didn't know An Chen's identity, they thought he was just an ordinary prisoner who offended someone, and the cell boss hinted that they would punish him to death."

"Where's the jailer?" Ning Yuezhao asked with a frown.

"It's been interrogated, and now it's being locked up in the Governor's Mansion of the Forbidden Army. The head of the prison is very tight-lipped, insisting that it's because An Chen didn't have any family members to send him money, so he was taught to teach him a lesson."

Ning Yue Zhaobo said angrily: "It seems that these people have been doing such things like beating people in prison, what are these people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice doing?"

Zuo Ming shook his head secretly in his heart, in fact these things have been in prison for a long time, and they will never be eradicated in the future.If An Chen hadn't been the one who had the accident this time, I'm afraid His Majesty wouldn't be so angry.

"Go and investigate again!" Ning Yuezhao said with a serious face, "We must find out who is behind the scenes."

"Your Majesty, I have something to say." Zuo Ming thought for a while, before speaking, "I think it's because Your Majesty cares about it, so it's an accident. Maybe what happened to Yuyi An was really an accident?"

Ning Yuezhao narrowed her eyes and looked at him, "If there is a little flesh injury, I will believe that it was an accident, just to teach you a little lesson for money, will it kill you?"

Zuo Ming was speechless.

Ning Yuezhao paused and said again: "Commander Zuo, I promoted you to be Commander of the Forbidden Army because I liked your integrity. Don't let me down!"

She knew that Zuo Ming and Jiang Nian had a good relationship, but subconsciously she still believed in her own eyesight, so she just beat him.

Zuo Ming raised his head, his eyes were clear, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have received His Majesty's kindness, and I will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty's kindness. I will definitely try my best to investigate this matter."

Ning Yuezhao nodded in satisfaction, "Very good."

After Zuo Ming retreated, Bi Tao walked to Ning Yuezhao with a cup of bird's nest.

"Your Majesty, you have worked hard recently, and this servant specially ordered someone to cook bird's nest to nourish you."

Since Ning Yuezhao, the new emperor, moved into the Dragon Palace, Bitao was still the highest female official in the palace, but the servant was replaced by Ning Yuezhao.

"Auntie, now I know how difficult it is to sit in this position." Ning Yuezhao took the cup and said wearily.

If she hadn't shouldered the responsibility of being the king of a country, she wouldn't have handed An Chen over in the first place.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to be so depressed. People from the Palace of Political Affairs came to report that the imperial husband has already read the papers there. If you are tired, it's okay to take a rest tonight." Bitao thought she was unwell, and said kindly.

Thinking of Jiang Nian, Ning Yuezhao felt that the bird's nest in her hand suddenly lost its taste. She said a little sullenly: "At the beginning, the mother insisted on me marrying him, didn't she look at his talent? Sharing my worries is what he should do of."

Bitao froze for a moment when she heard the words, "Did Your Majesty quarrel with the imperial husband?"

Ning Yuezhao pursed her lips, "No, it's more serious than that." To her, Bitao was the same existence as her elders, and now Ning Yuezhao was depressed, so she could only confide in her.

"What's going on?" Bitao asked nervously.

Ning Yuezhao sighed, "Auntie has heard about An Chen, right?"

Bitao nodded, feeling a little worried in her heart.

Ning Yuezhao continued: "I suspect that it was Jiang Nian who did it. The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment clearly knew everything, was able to cause him, and had a problem with An Chen. Except for Jiang Nian and the Jiang family behind him, who else has such a thing?" power?"

Bitao was taken aback, and denied, "No, it's not him."

Ning Yuezhao frowned suspiciously, "Why is Auntie so sure?"

"This..." Bitao was at a loss for words for a moment, not knowing what to do.You can't tell Ning Yuezhao that it was the Queen's will, right?
At this time, Ning Yuezhao shook his head, "I see, aunt must think he is not such a person."

Bi Tao could only nod awkwardly, "With the status of the emperor today, he doesn't have to do these things at all. An Chen has already entered the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. He just needs to wait for the result. Why bother?"

Ning Yuezhao snorted softly, "Maybe he is just afraid of long nights and dreams!"

Bitao was at a loss for words again, this was the queen's original thought, as expected of a mother and daughter, they all thought of it together.

Unexpectedly, a decision made by Empress Yingming I before her death cast a shadow over the relationship between the couple.

At this time, Ning Yuezhao had already finished eating the bird's nest, and was about to take a bath and go to bed.

Seeing that her solution was ineffective, Bitao could only put away the small cup and ordered a few court ladies to serve His Majesty well.

After Ning Yuezhao rested, Bitao ordered someone to prepare a cup of ginseng tea, and she personally sent it to the Yizheng Hall.

Jiang Nian had already devoted himself to government affairs at this time, and temporarily forgot Ning Yuezhao's misunderstanding of him. He was still very surprised to hear that Bitao asked for a meeting.

"Your Majesty, this old slave has brought you ginseng tea for your Majesty." Bi Tao wanted to ease the relationship between their husband and wife, so she told a white lie.

"It's just a cup of ginseng tea. Why don't you ask Auntie to bring it in person?" Jiang Nian put down his pen, took the ginseng tea, but didn't drink it. You have something to say to Gu.”

Bitao said subduedly: "Your Highness is very aware of the details, the old slave is indeed lying, please punish him Your Highness." After she finished speaking, she knelt down.

Jiang Nian hurried out from behind the table and helped her up, "Auntie, you don't have to do this, just speak up if you have something to say."

Bitao sighed, "Your Majesty thinks An Chen's death is related to you."

Jiang Nian was helpless, "Auntie, this matter is really wronged."

Bitao sighed again, "I know that you are a pure and kind person, and you would never do such a thing. In fact, what happened to An Chen was ordered by the late emperor before he died."

Jiang Nian was shocked, "Mother, she..." He couldn't believe what Bitao said.

Bitao said faintly: "The former emperor was afraid that His Majesty would be soft-hearted, and that the night would be long and dreamy, so he wanted to clear the way for you and your husband. However, it was self-defeating, and it caused a estrangement between you."

Jiang Nian knew the queen's good intentions, and he didn't complain in his heart, but felt more guilty.He failed the empress's love in his previous life, and although he tried his best to make up for it in this life, he still failed to prolong her life. Could it be that everything is really predestined, and no matter how hard he struggles, he can't escape?

After a long time, Jiang Nian slowly said, "Auntie, don't tell the third person what happened tonight."
