Chapter 205: Manager Wang causes cholera in the harem!

The scene was in chaos for a while.

The Imperial Preceptor stared at Prince Wang with wide eyes, the Prime Minister also stared at Prince Wang with wide eyes, and the Queen Mother was even shaking with anger. Just when everyone was shocked, Jian Yue spoke.

Jian Yue did not beg for mercy. Instead, he walked over to the ground, knelt down, and said, "Since the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister have doubts about me, it is reasonable to interrogate me. But since Prince Wang is so sure about what he said, and the Queen Mother also said that he might have been deceived by the people below, then I think that all the officials involved in this matter should be arrested and interrogated."

The Queen Mother was shocked and asked, "What did you say?!"

You have to know that the officials involved in this case have been traced from the top to the bottom, and there are hundreds of people of all sizes. These officials are so badly injured that if they are really tried, there is no guarantee that something will be found out.

What's more, Jian Yue kept saying that it was her suggestion. Wasn't this an attempt to draw the hatred of the civil and military officials towards herself? !

The Queen Mother immediately looked at the Prime Minister and asked, "Prime Minister, as the head of all officials, what do you think of this matter?"

The prime minister was still obsessed with the fact that the child was not his and that he was infertile. You know, not only the prince, but also the concubines in his house had given birth to several children for him! !

The audience in the live broadcast room were so laughing when they saw the Prime Minister’s expression:

"You, Prime Minister, are the king of cuckolds."

“There’s a feeling that life is very hard.”

"We in the horror world have our own variety show to watch, hahaha!"

The Prime Minister was also a little bit upset at the moment, and he also had some resentment towards the Queen Mother. He knew that the Queen Mother was using him. If it was before, he would have accepted it. In the end, he was cuckolded for so many years, and this rebellious son was not even his own son. So why should he protect him? !

"I think the Queen Mother's suggestion is a good one," the Prime Minister said with a folded hand. "Since we are going to have a trial, we must conduct a thorough investigation!"

The Queen Mother's face changed.

You have to know that all the greedy money went into her private treasury!

The Queen Mother immediately looked at the Emperor, but she didn't expect that the Emperor was looking at Jian Yue. Huangfu Chengyu's eyes fell on Jian Yue, staring at him closely without saying a word.

Jian Yue raised his head and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, please issue an order. I can withstand any punishment. Since Prince Wang also feels that he is innocent, I believe he can withstand it as well."

Prince Wang's face turned pale with fright.

At this moment, Huangfu Chengyu met Jian Yue's gaze. He was silent for a moment, then his eyes became solemn, and he said, "In this case, let the Ministry of Justice investigate it thoroughly, and let Lord Zhang take charge. I heard that Lord Zhang is the best at interrogation, and he is very skilled in using a knife. I feel relieved to leave it to you."

After hearing this, Prince Wang’s heart finally settled down.

Not only that, I was even scared to death.

Prince Wang was originally a good-for-nothing, so he could not stand such threats. He immediately shouted, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please do not interrogate me. I will confess, I will confess... I did embezzle a little bit of silver, and I am willing to hand it all over. However, I only embezzled 5,000 taels at most. I know nothing about the rest, Your Majesty!"

Huangfu Chengyu said: "The 100,000 taels of silver for disaster relief were all exchanged for rough rice and stones when they reached the people. Since you didn't take them, someone else must have done it."

Prince Wang was a coward, and he was so scared that he kept knelt and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, you can check. I never lied. Please let me go, Your Majesty!"

Huangfu Chengyu opened his mouth and said, "Take him away and lock him up in the Sky Prison to await trial."

The other officials were trembling in their hearts when they saw this. They thought that the Prime Minister would stop it when he saw his son going through this. Unexpectedly, the Prime Minister said nothing and even looked selfless. Could it be that he really had no guilt in mind?

This was the most powerful purge of the court since the emperor ascended the throne.

The Queen Mother and the Imperial Master were completely powerless to stop it. They were busy going back to destroy the bodies and silence the murderers.

After all the officials in the imperial study left, the study became particularly quiet. Huangfu Chengyu sat on the dragon chair. All the other officials had left, only Jian Yue remained.

Huangfu Chengyu raised his eyes to look at him and said, "Everyone has left, why are you still kneeling there?"

Jian Yue hesitated for a moment and looked up and said, "Your Majesty is no longer angry with me?"

Huangfu Chengyu's hand on the table moved, he picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, then slowly put it down and said to Jian Yue: "Did you come out on purpose to let Prince Wang see you?"

Jian Yue nodded and said, "Yes, because I think if I don't come out, he won't be able to drag me into this, and you won't be able to thoroughly investigate everyone smoothly. If the investigation goes smoothly this time, at least a lot of corrupt officials can be arrested, and the silver we get can be used to raise military funds for the soldiers."

From the very beginning, he knew Huangfu Chengyu's purpose.

Wars require money, and all these corrupt officials have money. Huangfu Chengyu went to the auction at Juxing Tower to see the financial resources of these corrupt officials. The city and the outside of the city were full of displaced and homeless victims, and the building was full of corrupt officials who spent money like water and lived a dissolute life. In fact, Jian Yue knew from that moment on that Huangfu Chengyu was going to move some people.

And he was willing to pave a smooth path for him.

Huangfu Chengyu looked at Jian Yue and said, "Do you support me in fighting this battle?"

Jian Yue nodded and said, "Although what the Imperial Master said makes sense, if we give in this time, what about next time? Greedy people will never learn to be content. They will only become more greedy. Only by completely defeating them can we solve the problem once and for all."

Huangfu Chengyu slowly stood up, walked to Jian Yue, squatted down, and helped him up. He said, "Aren't you afraid that Master Wang will not confess and you will be thrown into prison and die?"

Jian Yue paused, then smiled. He touched his head and said, "Actually, I'm afraid too."

Huangfu Chengyu said, "Then where do you get the courage from?"

Jian Yue said, "Because I saw those people below, including the Queen Mother, so many of them surrounded Your Majesty and bullied you. I didn't think too much about it at the time. When I reacted, I thought, Your Majesty will definitely save me anyway."

Huangfu Chengyu laughed: "Where do you get your confidence from? What if I want to kill you to silence you?"

His eyes were dark, and when we looked at each other, they were particularly terrifying. When he wasn't smiling, those eyes gave people an extremely strong sense of oppression.

Jian Yue's heart tightened. Just when Huangfu Chengyu thought he was frightened, the man in front of him smiled and said, "Your Majesty wouldn't do that. Your Majesty used so many precious herbs to save my life, and he couldn't bear to let me die easily."

Huangfu Chengyu was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that his little eunuch could be so smart.

The person kneeling on the ground was picked up by Huangfu Chengyu. He said to Jian Yue, "Don't be so impulsive next time."

Jian Yue nodded and said, "I'll remember it."

Huangfu Chengyu walked towards the study. The light in the palace was restored. Jian Yue said, "Your Majesty, you have just been discussing matters for so long. Do you want to take a rest? Your health is the most important thing."

The man who was reading the memorial said without even raising his head: "No need."

Jian Yue nodded, but before he could say anything, a "gurgling" sound was heard in the hall. He looked up at Jian Yue, who was a little embarrassed. After meeting Huangfu Chengyu's gaze, he whispered, "I was too anxious when I woke up, and I rushed here before I had dinner."

Huangfu Chengyu paused with the pen in his hand. The man seemed to chuckle and said, "Have someone serve the food."

Jian Yue said happily: "Your Majesty, would you like to eat something too?"

Huangfu Chengyu nodded and said, "Okay."

Jian Yue smiled happily: "Then I will have someone bring the food right away."

Huangfu Chengyu realized something. He looked at Jian Yue calmly and said, "You are waiting for me here."

Jian Yue stopped pretending and said, "It can't be helped. Your Majesty doesn't eat when he's busy. But I really didn't eat either. When I woke up and heard that Your Majesty was here, I knew that the group of old ministers must have gathered together to complain about bad things, so I hurried over here."

Huangfu Chengyu paused. This was the first time someone described that group of ministers as people who gathered together to spit bad words for no reason. He paused and originally wanted to scold Jian Yue for being too bold, but he laughed first.

Jian Yue called Xiao Yanzi in and gave instructions for the meal: "It's getting cold these days, ask the kitchen to remove some cold foods..." Turning back and seeing a smile in Huangfu Chengyu's eyes, he asked Xiao Yanzi to serve the meal while saying: "Your Majesty is a cultured person and he certainly can't scold. I'll scold for you. It will make you feel better if you vent your anger."

This was also the first time Huangfu Chengyu heard such a statement.

From childhood to adulthood, he was taught to be calm and steady, to keep his composure and calm in everything. This was the first time someone said that he would feel much better if he could get rid of the mud in his heart.

Huangfu Chengyu was about to speak when Gao Fei came in. Gao Fei had been transferred to the inner hall for his meritorious service in protecting the emperor. He stood below and said, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister wants to see you."

Jian Yue frowned slightly. Why did the Prime Minister come back again?

Huangfu Chengyu didn't seem surprised at all. He said, "Let him in."

Jian Yue and Huangfu Chengyu exchanged glances, and Huangfu Chengyu said, "If you are hungry, go eat first. I will talk to the Prime Minister."

"Okay." Jian Yue did not object and went straight back downstairs.

Gao Fei and Jian Yue stood outside and waited. Jian Yue whispered to Gao Fei, "Do you know what the Prime Minister came back for?"

"I don't know." Gao Fei said, "I don't think this old man has good intentions."

Jian Yue agreed with this statement very much.

As the two were talking, a light voice came from inside. It was the Prime Minister speaking:

"Chengyu, why are you so stubborn?"

"I'm your uncle, can I hurt you?"

"I am also very sad about the Jiang family's affairs, but that is all in the past. Don't investigate it anymore!"

Huangfu Chengyu's voice was filled with a cold smile: "Uncle? Does the Prime Minister still remember this identity?"

"How could I not remember? Today is your birthday and I came to the palace just for this."

"Although your birthday and mother's death anniversary are on the same day, uncle will always remember it."

"It's not easy for our Jiang family..."

Huangfu Chengyu's voice was very soft and fell slowly: "Really? It's been so many years... You didn't remember it in previous years, but you remembered it this year. Did my uncle remember my birthday, or did he come here specifically to plead for your son in the prison?"

The Prime Minister must have been a little angry and humiliated. He kept saying:

"We are all family, why do you have to make such clear distinctions?"

"Your mother died of suicide, you should know better than me!"

"Remember, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be able to sit on the throne. Isn't everything I did for you?!"

Jian Yue and Gao Fei were both shocked.

Today is His Majesty, the male protagonist’s birthday?

But why is the main storyline not written? ! !

Jian Yue immediately opened the system panel and found that the main storyline was that the heroine went to the imperial study but happened to eavesdrop on the hero's birthday, and then slept with the man, giving the hero warmth that he had not felt for a long time.

This is the heroine's mission!!

Jian Yue said to Gao Fei in shock: "Where is Concubine Liu? Didn't she come?"

Gao Fei whispered, "I was wondering too. She said she would come to the palace tonight, but she hasn't come yet. Wait...Is the King of Chu also coming to the palace to discuss matters tonight?"

Jian Yue was stunned. He said, "But I didn't see the King of Chu in the hall just now!"

When the two people's eyes met, they both had a bad feeling. These two people must not be getting together!

Gao Fei subconsciously said, "Isn't she the heroine? How will the plot go if she is with the second male lead, the King of Chu?"

Jian Yue subconsciously said, "She won't use my identity again, will she? If she gets involved with the King of Chu, wouldn't His Majesty think I'm two-timing?"

Gao Fei was even more shocked!

He was so shocked as if he had never understood how to eat this melon before. The main reason was that the melon came too quickly and was difficult to digest.

The audience in the live broadcast room were all crazy with joy:

"Someone come and save Gao Fei."

"All of a sudden the male and female protagonists, the second male protagonist, and the third male protagonist all went crazy."

“This copy is really interesting.”

"Everyone is going crazy, hahaha!"

Jian Yue comforted himself and said, "Forget it, forget it. I think Lady Liu should know her limits and nothing will happen."

Gao Fei could only say: "That's best..."

Jian Yue continued to focus on the study room, where the prime minister and Huangfu Chengyu were still talking. Jian Yue never expected that the prime minister and the emperor were also related, and the prime minister and the Jiang family were also related? Jian Yue was shocked, and the more he investigated, the more he felt confused.

After a while, the people inside came out angrily.

He walked away, Gao Fei and Jian Yue looked at each other, there must be something wrong here, Xiao Yanzi came over from outside and said: "The dishes in the imperial kitchen are ready, Your Majesty, do you want to eat them?"

Jian Yue said: "I'll go and invite them."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jian Yue heard a crashing sound coming from the study, the sound of something being smashed on the ground. He was shocked and pushed the door open and walked in, and found that all the pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk had been swept away and smashed on the ground. Huangfu Chengyu was standing in front of the desk, panting slightly, with scarlet hatred in his eyes.

Just as Jian Yue opened the door and went in, more porcelain fell to the ground, and the splashing porcelain pieces almost hit his legs.

Huangfu Chengyu was slightly surprised. Before Jian Yue could move, the man had already walked quickly in front of Jian Yue. He held Jian Yue's hand and asked, "Are you hurt?"

Jian Yue was slightly stunned, then shook his head gently.

As he got closer, he saw the red blood on Huangfu Chengyu's hand. He had vomited blood before, and the red blood made Jian Yue feel a sharp pain in his heart.

Jian Yue held Huangfu Chengyu's hand and said, "Dinner is ready. His Majesty agreed to eat with me."

Huangfu Chengyu was slightly stunned, and then he slowly said: "I..."

Jian Yue was about to speak when a voice rang out from outside: "The noble lady Yin has arrived!"

“…”

This was definitely not going to be a peaceful night.

People came one after another. They came just as the first one left. Did they make an appointment? But they must have other purposes. Jian Yue thought, I don't know what happened to Concubine Yin, but she came for the emperor anyway.

In fact, Concubine Yin really came for the emperor.

She was already a little pregnant, and this matter could not be delayed any longer! She had to find a way to give the child a name. She finally found out from the empress dowager that today was the emperor's birthday. She knew that the emperor never celebrated his birthday since his mother passed away, but Concubine Yin knew that even though the emperor didn't celebrate it, he must still be in pain.

She brought wine with her specifically to make good things happen.

Gao Fei stopped the man and said, "Your Excellency, His Majesty is in the study handling government affairs. Please allow me to inform you before you go in."

Lady Yin hated these tactless servants the most. She frowned and said, "Who are you to stop me? Even Steward Wang doesn't dare to talk to me like that. Who do you think you are? Where is Steward Wang? Let him come to see me!"

Gao Fei's smile faded, and he said, "The butler is waiting on His Majesty inside, and will not come out until you are informed."

Yin Guiren said arrogantly: "Then why don't you go quickly!"

Gao Fei went in, and Jian Yue said to Huangfu Chengyu, "Why is Concubine Yin here now? Does Your Majesty want to see her?"

If it were any other time, Huangfu Chengyu would have at least met her for the sake of the Empress Dowager and to see what tricks Concubine Yin would get up to, but today he was completely in no mood because of the Prime Minister's matter.

Huangfu Chengyu said unhappily: "Let her go back and say that I am busy."

Gao Fei hesitated, after all, that woman was very crazy.

Jian Yue saw it, so he said, "I'll go and tell him."

He said to Huangfu Chengyu: "Your Majesty, go back and have a rest. Leave the matters here to me."

Huangfu Chengyu was indeed tired, and he didn't want to see anyone now, so he turned around and left. Jian Yue walked out of the study and saw the noble Yin waiting outside, so he walked over and said, "Please go back, noble. Your Majesty is very tired from dealing with the enemy troops and floods at the border and needs to rest. Your Majesty appreciates your kindness."

Yin Guiren said, "Let me go in and take a look."

Jian Yue stopped her and said, "Your Majesty, His Majesty needs to rest quietly. Please come back another day."

How could Yin Guiren wait? How could the child in her belly wait? She was so angry that she cursed: "How dare you stop me, you dog slave? If it weren't for me, would you be here today?"

Jian Yue smiled and said, "It is only because of Your Majesty that I can have this day. Your Majesty is my only master. I don't understand what you are saying."

Yin Guiren was short of breath, so he endured it and left.

Jian Yue rubbed his brows after watching the people leave. He had just returned to the palace and there were constant disturbances. It was indeed not as quiet as Bailu Temple. This might be the reason why the emperor wanted to keep him in Bailu Mountain. But the more this was the case, if he didn't come, Huangfu Chengyu would have to face all this alone. When Jian Yue thought of this, his heart inexplicably softened.

He returned to the study.

Gao Fei said, "His Majesty has gone to change his clothes. He has no appetite and probably won't be able to eat for a while."

Jian Yue nodded and whispered, "Your Majesty has vomited blood and has an upset stomach. Ask the kitchen to remove the meat."

After a pause, he said, "Cook another bowl of noodles for later use."

Gao Fei was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Jian Yue meant. He looked at Jian Yue, then smiled teasingly and said, "Why are you so good to His Majesty? It hurts like an eyeball. If you don't know, you would think this is your man."

Jian Yue choked.

Gao Fei only dared to utter this teasing sentence, and then he ran away without waiting for Jian Yue to react.

Jian Yue felt a little helpless when he saw Gao Fei running away, but he still went in. Huangfu Chengyu came out after changing his clothes. Jian Yue found that this was not the emperor's regular clothes, but a prince's regular clothes. The lavender robe made him look slim and elegant, and the whole person seemed to have suddenly become much younger. Huangfu Chengyu stood by the screen with his hair half draped over his shoulders. His gentle and handsome profile made Jian Yue seem to have suddenly traveled through time and saw the appearance of Huangfu Chengyu when he was young.

He thought that if he had not experienced so much, Huangfu Chengyu might have been a carefree and idle prince. He had a loving grandfather and a mother who loved him, and his life would definitely be very happy.

As if sensing his thoughts, Huangfu Chengyu glanced at him and said, "I have to go out for a while, you come with me."

Jian Yue didn't think twice: "Okay."

Huangfu Chengyu smiled: "Don't you want to know where to go?"

Jian Yue said: "I will go wherever your Majesty goes."

The first rule for workers is not to ask too many questions about the boss. Of course, the most important thing is that he knew that Huangfu Chengyu was in a bad mood today, and he could vaguely guess where he was going.

Huangfu Chengyu stepped forward and said, "Let's go."

Jian Yue followed him out of the palace. The entire palace was very quiet. Huangfu Chengyu pointed to a quiet palace garden not far away and said, "That is the palace where my mother lived when she was alive. After she passed away, it has been unused."

It turned out to be the place where the concubine of the Xue family once lived! Jian Yue has been investigating the traces of the Snake Mother. Yes, he knows too little about the information of the Teng Snake. The concubine of the Xue family might know more. Maybe he can find something in her old residence!

The system panel popped up at this moment: "

Limited time mission: Explore the traces of the Snake Mother in the Imperial Concubine's old palace

Mission details: Look for the snake mother. The traces left by the orphan girl of the Xue family are waiting for you. Please find the relics she left behind and uncover the truth of that year.

Mission reward: Concubine Xue's relics."

There really are relics.

Jian Yue said to Huangfu Chengyu, "Does Your Majesty go there once a year?"

Huangfu Chengyu shook his head and said, "I haven't been there since she passed away."

Jian Yue was curious: "Why?"

"The hatred of the Xue family has not been resolved, and I am too embarrassed to see her." Huangfu Chengyu said, "But now that you are here, I only have you in my heart, and I only want to take you to see her. Are you willing to go with me?"

Jian Yue's heart suddenly shook. He looked up and met Huangfu Chengyu's deep and dark eyes. He felt his heart was agitated. His lips trembled and he couldn't speak. For a moment, Jian Yue looked at the thin figure in front of him. He even thought, screw the plot, screw the system, what a bullshit task, what's wrong with him being the third male! !

His heart was slightly excited, his eyes were red, and he said: "I am willing, and there is only one Majesty in my heart..."

Suddenly, a person came running from a distance.

Xiao Yanzi ran out of breath and said, "Oh no! Oh no! Steward Wang!"

Jian Yue walked over and said, "What happened? Xiao Yanzi, I told you a long time ago that the most important thing for a person is to be mature and stable. What's the big deal? Why are you making such a fuss?"

Xiao Yanzi glanced at the person behind Jian Yue in horror and said, "General Manager Wang, when Concubine Yin returned to the harem, she found traces of you in Concubine Liu's palace. She...she has now caught the witness and evidence and even seemed to have almost caught you in bed. She asked me to come to Your Majesty and say...she said that you are causing chaos in the harem and are fickle and unforgivable!!!"

Jian Yue was shocked and asked, "What?!"

Depend on!

Um, that traitor couldn't be the King of Chu! !

Huangfu Chengyu, who was not far away, was just pouring his heart out to Jian Yue, and Jian Yue was just saying that he was the only one in her heart, but now he could faintly hear something about being fickle.

Huangfu Chengyu walked over, glanced at Xiao Yanzi and asked, "What's going on?"
