Chapter 48 As soon as Concubine Rong left me, I felt uneasy

Xiao Shunzi and Ningru are dead. There is no other way.

The dead cannot be resurrected. Chu Chengye ordered that Xiao Shunzi and Ningru be buried properly.

Now if we want to find the murderer, the only breakthrough is to start from the dungeon of the Dali Temple.

Zhenfu carefully investigated the people who were even slightly suspicious at the time, but after checking, it was always the moment when Xiao Shunzi and Ningru talked.

At that time, Chu Chengye ordered that the two people should talk alone, and everyone was naturally guarding outside.

That person killed someone alive, it is impossible for them not to see it, the only possibility is the criminal imprisoned in this dungeon.

When Chu Chengye first ascended the throne, he ordered the execution of many rebels who were unrepentant and unforgivable. There

were also some who were old men from the previous dynasty and had a lot of important secrets of Southern Qi in their hands, so they could not be killed and were kept alive in this dungeon.

But if some of them could move freely in the dungeon, why didn't they just leave? Instead, they voluntarily lived in this dark dungeon and were used by others.

I can't figure it out.

The clues were cut off here, and Zhenfu said that it would take a few days to find out anything.

Zhenfu listed the origins and crimes of the criminals imprisoned in the dungeon for Chu Chengye to review.

Chu Chengye sat in the Yangxin Palace at night, looking back and forth at the book in his hand.

Except for the few known ones now, all the civil and military officials in this court are extremely hypocritical and only know how to do superficial work.

On the surface, they acknowledged him as the emperor, but who knows what kind of things they will do behind the scenes to collude with the party to push him down.

Thinking of this, Chu Chengye was so annoyed that he waved his hand and threw the memorial in his hand to the ground.

The memorials were scattered, and the family affairs and official positions of the civil and military officials in this court were all available.

Chu Chengye thought of something and shouted to Wei An to come in.

"Convey my decree, go to Chunhe Palace tomorrow morning, and ask Concubine Rong to go to court with me."

Cheng Jin knew everyone, and those people would pretend in front of him, so naturally they couldn't hide it from Cheng Jin.

It would be better to let Cheng Jin go to court and see. After listening to her voice, he would find out the person with evil intentions as soon as possible, and save Nanqi and Cheng Jin.

After hearing what Chu Chengye said, Wei An knelt on the ground with a plop, "Your Majesty, this, this is against the rules."

"In previous dynasties, concubines in the harem were not allowed to participate in politics, let alone follow the emperor to court."

Chu Chengye knew it, but now the good clues were broken. If he gave up like this, wouldn't it allow those people to build up their wings.

Chu Chengye couldn't tell Wei An that he could hear Cheng Jin's thoughts, so he could only say nonsense in a serious tone:

"What do you think we should do? I don't know what's wrong with me now. I feel uneasy when Concubine Rong leaves me

for a while." "If Concubine Rong doesn't accompany me, how can I deal with those old guys during the morning court? If they find that I have made any mistakes, they will keep impeaching me and I'm afraid they will eat me up."

Wei An saw Chu Chengye say this, and wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking that there should be room for maneuver.

"The emperor favors Concubine Rong, but this is not the way to do it."

"This..." Wei An thought for a while.

"Since the emperor said that Concubine Rong cannot leave, there is a way."

Chu Chengye listened attentively.

"On weekdays, I always accompany the emperor. Why not let Concubine Rong wear the eunuch's clothes? Although it is not appropriate, it can also solve the emperor's urgent need."

Chu Chengye nodded and thought that Wei An's method was feasible.

"That's it."

Wei An finally agreed, "Then I will go to invite Concubine Rong early tomorrow morning."

The next morning, before the roosters crowed, Cheng Jin was awakened by Cuizhu and Ziying.

"My queen, wake up, Eunuch Wei is here."

Cheng Jin sat up and opened her eyes with resentment.

"It was arranged by Chu Chengye again, isn't he? Is he unhappy with me and is trying to get me into trouble?"

Cuizhu saw Cheng Jin saying such treasonous words, and hurriedly stepped forward to cover Cheng Jin's mouth.

"Your Majesty, how can you call the emperor by his name? You can't say that."

"You can't say that?" Cheng Jin laughed, "Not only will I say it, I will say it to the death."

"This tyrant is doing nothing every day."

Having said that, Cheng Jin had no choice but to get up and see Wei An.

Wei An bowed to Cheng Jin first, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

[With Chu Chengye here, I can't expect peace for the rest of my life.]

"I am guilty of disturbing your Majesty's sleep, but I am indeed here on orders."

Cheng Jin smiled softly, "No, no, I woke up a long time ago."

[If you hadn't come, I wouldn't have woken up even if a comet hit the earth at this point. 】

"The emperor sent me to invite the queen to the morning court."

Cheng Jin: "???"

【Am I still asleep? 】

【Am I crazy, or is Chu Chengye crazy? 】

【Ask me to go? 】

"What?"

Wei An nodded, "The emperor told me yesterday that the queen accompanied him a few days ago, and when the queen suddenly left, the emperor felt uncomfortable and depressed, so he sent me to invite the queen to the morning court. Just think of it for the sake of the emperor's health. Please agree."

【This Chu Chengye is so energetic all day long. 】

【How can he be in poor health? 】

【I'm afraid he is thinking of something to mess with me again.

Cheng Jin asked tentatively, "How can I go to attend this former dynasty's affairs?"

"The emperor has also said that it is indeed against the rules for the queen to go directly." This

tyrant also knows that it is against the rules.

The ministers in this court are all very cunning. Not to mention asking Cheng Jin to accompany him to the morning court today, even if the news of going to the Dali Temple together yesterday got to the ears of those old guys, I am afraid that Cheng Jin would be drowned in verbal criticism and spitting.

Now that Chu Chengye asked me to accompany him to the morning court, isn't he sending me to the gallows?

Sure enough, Chu Chengye had bad intentions.

Didn't he suffer a little injustice a few days ago? Today he did such a thing to retaliate.

It's too abominable.

"Since it is against the rules, can I..."

Wei An didn't give Cheng Jin a chance to refuse. He gave a glance and the eunuch following behind him brought the clothes to him.

"The emperor has already thought of this, so he asked you to dress up as a eunuch. I'm sorry to ask you to dress up as a servant's apprentice and accompany the emperor during the morning court today."

Cheng Jin knew that Chu Chengye was not someone who could be easily provoked, and she had no way to refuse his excuses every time he came to her.

Cheng Jin sighed and slumped down on the chair like a dead person, "You go and tell the emperor that I'm dead."

Wei An pulled up the corner of his mouth awkwardly, "Your Majesty, it's so sad to say that."

[Sad? It's sad to have Chu Chengye. ]

[It's so sad. ]

Unable to refuse, Cheng Jin had to agree.

The officials in the court are like wolves and tigers, all of them are eyeing Chu Chengye's throne. If I go there today, maybe I can give Chu Chengye some advice, save his life, and protect the safety of my Cheng family. This
