Chapter 470 Sister still relies on the young master
Fuxing took Li Suining back to pack up their things, and then went to see the emperor with Wenren Li.
On the way, Wen Renli asked in confusion, "Why do you really want to try Bai Yunfeng's case?"
"Now that Bai Yunfeng has just been assassinated and Zuo Sixian is dead, why should we wade into this mess?"
Fuxing didn't say anything.
"Lucky star!" Wen Renli's tone was clearly emotional.
"Don't ask too much about things you don't need to know, and just do what you should do!" Fuxing's voice sounded slightly cold.
Beneath the black hood, Wen Ren Li frowned and didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Soon, the two went to the Yangxin Palace to meet the emperor.
"You want to interrogate Bai Yunfeng's case?" Yuan Tianchen was obviously surprised.
Wen Renli spoke in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, this is the High Priest's intention. The Baiyunfeng case was originally caused by us, and now... Lord Zuo has lost his life because of this case. The High Priest believes that if she and I preside over the trial, we can quickly understand the matter."
Yuan Tianchen nodded in understanding. In fact, he didn't care who would judge the case.
He thought for a moment before confirming with Wen Renli, "Are you sure you can make Bai Yunfeng confess quickly?"
"Of course!" Wen Ren Li answered affirmatively.
Although he was not sure, the fact that Fuxing wanted to go meant that at least Fuxing had his own considerations.
He has long been a lucky star's accessory, and his life is also blessed by the lucky star, so all he has to do is be obedient.
"Alright!" Yuan Tianchen finally made up his mind. "This matter has a huge impact on the entire court. If it ends sooner, I can also put my mind at ease."
"Since the high priest has offered to help me solve my problems, I will grant your request." He nodded and said, "I will leave this case to you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Rest assured, Your Majesty, this humble servant and I will never betray your trust." Wen Renli continued, "One more thing. Since we are going to live outside the palace for a while, let's let Princess Suining come with us."
Yuan Tianchen nodded in agreement again, "Okay, after all, this little Suining is not from the palace, and it is not appropriate for her to live in the harem all the time, so you can take her out together."
He paused and added, "However, she is still young after all. If she goes to the Censorate, she won't be living in the same prison with her brothers. She can live with you instead."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wenren Li saluted respectfully.
——
After nightfall, Kunning Palace welcomed an uninvited guest.
Shangguan Jinglan looked at Zuo Jiali, who was dressed in white, and narrowed her eyes slightly, "How are your brother's funeral arrangements going?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. My brother's funeral went smoothly." Zuo Jiali replied with his head down.
"That's good!" Shangguan Jinglan nodded in understanding. She didn't quite understand what Zuo Jiali's sudden appearance at this time meant.
She thought for a moment and then slowly said, "You come to see me at this time, but what difficulties do you have at home?"
Zuo Jiali suddenly knelt down and said, "Jiali is willing to inherit his brother's last wish and continue to serve the Empress."
"What?" Shangguan Jinglan frowned. She remembered very clearly that Zuo Sixian came to see her before he died, but asked her to let Zuo Jiali go and let Zuo Jiali choose his own future path.
So, why would Zuo Sixian's last wish be for Zuo Jiali to come find him?
"Empress, my brother said something to me before he died. I understand that my brother has actually been working for you, but things haven't been completed yet. Therefore, I am willing to take over the burden from my brother and continue to serve you."
Zuo Jiali spoke sincerely and his attitude was very respectful.
Shangguan Jinglan was puzzled. Could it be that Zuo Er misunderstood his brother's words?
Suddenly, she felt something particularly interesting and asked with a serious face, "Jia Li, you are still young, and I am very happy that you want to serve me. Why don't you wait until you take the imperial examination this year and pass it before coming to see me?"
"Your Majesty, I know that my abilities are limited. As long as Your Majesty accepts my loyalty, I am always ready to die for you."
Zuo Jiali's attitude became even more humble.
Shangguan Jinglan laughed in her heart. It seemed that the Zuo brothers were the same kind of people as Zuo Shanzhang, greedy for fame and fortune. Very good, she just liked to cooperate with such people.
She suddenly thought of something, perhaps Zuo Jiali could help.
"After all, you... are Li Suining's biological brother."
"..." Zuo Jiali paused, then nodded affirmatively, "Yes, but...that girl and her mother have a grudge against the Zuo family and have been unwilling to recognize us."
"Right now, I do have something that I need you to do."
Shangguan Jinglan stepped forward and lowered her voice, "I want you to monitor Li Suining and the two people in the Imperial Preceptor's Palace."
Zuo Jiali looked up in confusion, "But they... are all in the Imperial Master's Hall. How can a commoner monitor them?"
"Don't worry, they will leave the palace early tomorrow morning and stay at the Censorate."
Shangguan Jinglan had just learned about this matter and was actually very angry.
She kept Wenren Li and Fuxing in the palace, but she actually had other arrangements. Her main targets were Yuan Xiaonian and Jing Da Ying, but she didn't expect that they would propose to try Bai Yunfeng's case without authorization.
In fact, she had long suspected that Fuxing and Wenren Li had second thoughts about her. This time, it was just right for Zuo Er to monitor them to see what they were trying to do and who they belonged to.
"I understand!" Zuo Jiali understood instantly. "Please rest assured, Your Majesty. If they make any move, I will immediately send a message to Kunning Palace."
"Good!" Shangguan Jinglan was delighted. She took a few steps forward and looked at Zuo Jiali with approval. "Jiali, I'm deeply sorry for your brother's death, but if your brother could see how outstanding you are in heaven, he would surely be as happy for you as I am."
She patted Zuo Jiali's shoulder affectionately and said, "Don't worry, as long as you handle this matter well, regardless of whether you are selected in the Spring Examination this year, I will promise you a bright future."
"Thank you, Her Majesty, for your appreciation!" Zuo Jiali bowed respectfully again.
At this time, the eldest maid Bai Zhi came in and nodded to Shangguan Jinglan at the door.
"Okay, Jiali, you go back first and let Baizhi take you there."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I'll take my leave." Zuo Jiali was very obedient. He turned around and left with Bai Zhi.
As he passed the front yard, he vaguely saw a man in black waiting at the corner gate not far away.
Soon, Bai Zhi changed her position, blocking his view, "Second Master Zuo, please come this way!"
"Thank you, Sister Baizhi!" Zuo Jiali called out obediently.
He is handsome and a little childish, so when he calls me sister, it makes people feel particularly itchy.
Bai Zhi immediately smiled, "Young Master, you are too polite. From now on, you will be a favorite of our queen, and I will have to rely on you."
