"Then I will come to investigate. Is it okay for the Left Vice Minister of the Imperial Guard to take a look?"
This is the newly appointed Censor Xu.
Censor Xu was this year's top scholar, and he had just graduated from high school when Censor Xia's family was raided.
He was naturally pushed into this position.
The Censor was supposed to supervise all officials, but unfortunately Censor Xia failed to understand the purpose of this position.
All he thought about all day was pleasing the queen.
Now that Censor Xu was in office, he stepped towards Wei Hua.
Wei Hua knew he was doomed.
At first he thought about rushing out through another entrance.
But he was seriously injured and could not defeat so many constables.
He also tried to take off his black clothes and walk out from the other two exits in his official robes.
But these detectives were really stubborn and pretended not to know him and insisted on searching him.
Wei Hua had no choice but to take the risk.
After all, he was the highest-ranking official, but he didn't expect that Censor Xu would come.
"Come here, go check on the Minister of the Left!" Censor Xu directed several detectives.
The detectives did not move, but looked at Zhao Qingzhu.
Only after getting approval did he go forward to search Wei Hua.
At first Wei Hua did not move, until the constable touched the sticky blood, he bit the poison that had been hidden in his mouth.
In this line of work, he had already prepared himself for death.
I just hope that his death won't bring trouble to the Empress.
"Oh no, he's going to commit suicide by taking poison." Chen Xiu stepped forward and tried to pry open Wei Hua's mouth, but it was too late.
Wei Hua's seven orifices were bleeding and he fell to the ground with a bang.
After the matter was over, Chen Xiu sent Su Jiaojiao back to the Chen Mansion.
Wei Hua was taken back to the Dali Temple by Shan Shaoqing.
Everyone hurriedly cleared the area, and South Street Alley returned to its usual bustling state.
Wang Erniu and Tian Shufen arrived in ox carts respectively. They were relieved to see that the Su family was safe and sound.
And they were going to go together to find the Sioux chief on his return journey.
Hall of Mental Cultivation.
The Qin Emperor was very thin.
He is only forty-five years old, but he looks older than Guan Qing.
The two are both teachers and friends, more like old friends who haven't seen each other for many years.
Although the emperor was thin, his aura was still there.
"Are you willing to come back?"
"Is the emperor okay?" Guan Qing said this, but his eyes glanced at the palace guards beside him.
The emperor laughed out loud.
"They are all mine, I am very good!"
"Your Majesty, what happened? Why was he poisoned?" Guan Qing couldn't figure it out. With the emperor's ability, he shouldn't be poisoned so easily.
"Didn't Guan Wu tell you?"
"I have said it, but I just can't figure it out."
The emperor's thoughts went back to the year when Princess Pingyang died, and a trace of sadness flashed across his eyes.
"I was not poisoned. I just took advantage of the situation."
"Your Majesty wants to investigate who murdered Princess Pingyang..." Guan Qing didn't say the rest.
But the emperor understood.
"Yes, I suspect that this matter is related to the Queen Mother. The Queen is just a pawn of the Queen Mother."
Guan Qing thought deeply and he almost forgot about the Queen Mother.
I only remember that after His Majesty ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager had been fasting and chanting Buddhist scriptures, and she never even went out all day.
I didn't expect that he hasn't given up his ambition yet.
The Empress Dowager is not the biological mother of the emperor, but the concubine of the retired emperor.
Not long after the Emperor abdicated, he became paralyzed in bed and has been taken care of personally by the Empress Dowager.
Everyone speaks well of the Queen Mother.
But is it really so?
Among the three thousand beauties in the harem alone, only the empress dowager survived to the end. Guan Qing knew that it was not easy.
"Your Majesty, did you deliberately make me angry and leave?" Guan Qing understood at once. When he was still in Beijing, many old officials in the army died suddenly and innocently.
The emperor nodded.
"There's no need to investigate the account book anymore. A month ago, there was a fire in the residence of the Duke's uncle, and the account book disappeared along with the fire."
"I ordered Minister Su to forge the account book, and the news was spread just to expose the truth."
"Was the fire set by someone sent by the Queen Mother?" Guan Qing understood immediately.
But he didn't expect that Minister Su's acting skills were so good that he even fooled him.
Guan Qing asked again, "Your Majesty, you even hid this from Prime Minister Zhou?"
"Old Zhou, you know that if you know that you can't act it out, you have to do it in its entirety."
"I now have a lot of evidence in my hands, but unfortunately I still can't find out the truth about Princess Pingyang's death, and whose child it is..." The emperor said in a low voice.
Guan Qing sighed, "Now that Fu Yuan has been found and brought back to the capital, Your Majesty, isn't he afraid that the Queen Mother will take action again?"
"I'm going to fight back!" A hint of ferocity flashed in the emperor's eyes.
Imperial Medical Service.
Imperial Doctor Lin sewed up the wound for "Minister Su" with needle and thread.
"That Wei Hua actually took the things and left. Fortunately, he didn't kill Minister Su. Otherwise, even the gods would have been unable to save him."
"I wanted to give that thing to His Majesty, but I didn't expect it to be snatched away by Wei Hua."
Minister Su said angrily.
Doctor Guo, who was pretending to prescribe medicine, packed a few prescriptions and quietly left.
After everyone left, Doctor Lin lowered his voice and spoke.
"You kid, you're really something. You have pork tied to your body?"
"Fortunately I tied the pork to my body. Wei Hua really wanted to kill me. It really hurt." The pretending Minister Su smiled foolishly.
He is Wu Chun's younger brother Wu Chang, who is good at disguise.
Wu Chun was annoyed, "Aren't you afraid that Wei Hua will cut your throat?"
"Don't be afraid. Cutting my throat is impossible. At most I will be seriously injured. At worst I can ask Doctor Lin to take a look at me."
"If General Guan wasn't here, do you think you could enter the palace?"
"If we can't get in, wouldn't it be the same if we just asked Doctor Lin to come out?" Wuchang asked stupidly.
"How can it be the same? If I don't show it to others, how can they believe that the account book is really gone?"
The two brothers were arguing with each other.
After Guan Qing returned from the Yangxin Palace, he saw Wuchang's injuries. After applying medicine and bandaging the wound, he took his men away.
The news soon reached the ears of the queen.
She grabbed Eunuch Li's arm with force.
"Little Li, you said that the account book was taken away by Qian'er? Wei Hua committed suicide, could it be because he was Qian'er's man?"
Eunuch Li trembled, lowered his head and dared not say a word.
The Queen's armor sank deep into Eunuch Li's flesh, and blood immediately flowed out.
At the same time, I also understood what Eunuch Li meant.
The queen went to look for Qin Moqian in person.
It feels like a falling out.
Looking at her own son, she sneered repeatedly.
"Qian'er, bring the things here!"
"Mother, do you really think that I took the account book?" Qin Moqian asked back.
The queen said coldly, "Little Li, go search the room of His Highness!"
Qin Moqian flicked his feather fan.
"No wonder the Queen Mother is used as a tool, because she has no brains at all."
"Shut up!"
"I advise the Queen Mother to take charge of the people around her and see who they belong to."
After saying something that seemed to be true but was not, Qin Moqian closed the door.
The queen was so angry that she kept pinching Eunuch Li.
However, Eunuch Li lowered his head with a dark look in his eyes.
In a blink of an eye, two days passed.
Su Yun had no idea what happened in the capital.
Her family also arrived at Qingshan Village safely.
