"His Majesty."
Before Princess Yuchang could finish her words, Wei Yaer's anxious shout rang out.
Wei Yaer hurried into the hall.
Without caring about the ministers around her, she threw herself into Emperor Wenyuan's arms with tears in her eyes, crying incomparably: "Your Majesty, are you angry with me? Wuwu! When I woke up and didn't see Your Majesty, I knew that Your Majesty must still be angry. I'm sorry, Your Majesty, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have told everyone about the princess planting someone in the palace..."
"Ya Fei."
Princess Yuchang said with a serious expression: "What I want to talk about is your poisoning."
Before Wei Yaer could speak, Princess Yuchang continued to speak to Emperor Wenyuan, "Your Majesty, I want to say that Concubine Ya's poisoning may be related to Yang Huaijin. I heard that Concubine Ya has been taking Yang Huaijin's blood these days."
Yafei took Yang Huaijin's blood?
These words made all the ministers look at each other in confusion, and their faces turned strange when they looked at Wei Yaer.
After all, who is a good person who eats human blood?
Wei Yaer's expression looked a little unhappy.
Princess Yu Chang's voice rang out again: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Zhenbei has ulterior motives. I'm afraid Yang Huaijin is also part of his plan. Please make a decision as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Wenyuan did not hesitate at all. "Come here, throw Yang Huaijin into jail as well."
When the morning court is over.
The ministers were still a little bit unbelievable.
"This Zhenbei Marquis...was imprisoned just like that?"
"Isn't Envoy Yang the most favored? How could he be imprisoned like this?"
Many ministers were talking about it.
At the entrance of the palace.
Lord Xu Chang caught up with General Meng, who was walking away with long strides. "General Meng, wait a moment."
General Meng stamped his feet.
After turning around and seeing Xu Chang and his men catching up, the old man's face was not in a good mood: "Master Xu, is there something wrong?"
Xu Chang knew General Meng's temper and knew that the old man would look down on his flattery. However, Xu Chang was in a good mood at the moment and could not help but said to General Meng with a smile:
"Old General, you must conduct a thorough investigation during your trip to Yongcheng. If the Marquis of Zhenbei is truly plotting a rebellion, he is a grave sinner in our dynasty. Do not conceal his actions out of personal feelings."
"Do you mean that I will show favoritism?"
General Meng's face darkened with anger.
"No, no, General Meng, you are a loyal and righteous man. I am worried that you will be deceived, so I can't help but remind you."
"If you know you're talking too much, then don't say anything!"
General Meng looked as if he couldn't stand these treacherous ministers. After he finished speaking, he snorted and left in a huff.
"This old man Meng is too arrogant." Lord Wang said with an unhappy look on his face.
Xu Chang smiled and said, "Arrogant? People with this kind of personality are the easiest to control. As long as he doesn't show favoritism, Yang Tiejiang will definitely have no chance of turning things around."
This made Lord Wang and the others look at each other in confusion. They leaned closer and asked, "Brother Xu, do you know anything?"
Xu Chang glanced around before lowering his voice and asking, "Haven't you noticed that Princess Yu Chang's goal is to kill Yang Tiejiang? No, she wants Yang Tiejiang's entire family dead. She even dared to beat the drum to report the incident, making such a big fuss. Do you think Princess Yu Chang hasn't made all the arrangements?"
"So, regardless of whether Yang Tiejiang was truly guilty of treason or not, the charge of treason has been thoroughly proven..."
Return to Xu's house.
As Xu Chang entered the gate, she was bumped by a hurried figure and stumbled: "I'm sorry, Dad, I didn't mean it."
Only then did Xu Chang see clearly who had bumped into him.
It’s Xu Shuer.
His concubine's daughter who came back from the countryside.
To be honest, Xu Chang wouldn't have remembered her if she hadn't gone to the palace to see the empress dowager a few days ago.
He couldn't say he liked this daughter.
Sometimes he even felt that his daughter's eyes were full of hatred when she looked at him.
Xu Chang frowned and scolded: "Why are you so impatient? You have no manners at all."
But at this moment, he saw Xu Shu'er's clothes and the maid behind her: "Where are you going?"
Xu Shuer looked anxious: "Dad, I heard something happened at the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, I want to go and take a look."
With that, she walked out.
"stop!"
Xu Chang scolded Xu Shu'er, stretched out his hand to pull her back, and looked at her with narrowed eyes: "What are you doing at the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion? When did you become so close to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion?"
Xu Shu'er lowered her head and whispered, "Dad, when my grandmother sent me to the Shen family... to live with my cousin, my cousin's wife was very kind to me. Although she and my cousin later separated, she has always been very caring towards me. Last time, when the Empress Dowager needed a doctor for her chronic illness, it was my cousin's wife who mentioned it to the Emperor. That's how I got the opportunity to treat the Empress Dowager and was rewarded by her."
Xu Chang naturally knew that Xu Shu'er was treating the empress dowager.
Because of this, his official career was not affected by the Shen family's affairs.
only……
"Yang Zhao is not in Beijing now, what are you doing going to Zhenbeihou?" Xu Chang noticed from the beginning that she was holding a piece of letter in her hand.
Xu Shu'er quickly hid the letter in her hand behind her back, her eyes flickering as she said, "I, I'm just going to take a look."
"You're lying. Hand over the letter in your hand."
Xu Chang stretched out his hand with a cold face and full of majesty.
Xu Shuer shook her head and stepped back.
Xu Chang immediately sent someone to grab it. When he saw it, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes: "Great, it turns out that Yang Zhao also secretly returned from Yujiang. It seems that the Yang family had planned this in advance."
After saying that, Xu Chang strode towards the door.
"Dad, what are you going to do?"
Xu Shuer hurriedly chased after him, trying to stop him: "Dad, are you going to arrest my cousin's wife? She didn't do anything, you can't..."
"Shut up!"
Xu Chang was anxious to make a contribution, and was very impatient with Xu Shu'er's obstruction. He directly ordered: "Hurry and bring her back to the courtyard. Keep a close eye on her. Don't let her go far away. If she ruins my plan, I will hold you responsible."
"yes."
Xu Shu'er just watched Xu Chang leave happily.
She initially protested and yelled, but in the end she simply subsided: "Let go, I'll walk back by myself."
The old woman and the guards were all confused.
Xu Chang, who had received the letter, originally planned to enter the palace, but then he remembered something and immediately took his guards to the address written on the letter.
Break open the gate.
The moment he saw Yang Zhao, Xu Chang's eyes were filled with excitement: "Great, so you really came back secretly."
Yang Zhao, who was dressed in plain clothes, frowned when he saw Xu Chang knocking on the door.
"Who are you?"
Xu Chang didn't answer, but quickly ordered the guards: "What are you standing there for? Go and tie him up."
The guards entered quickly.
"Who are you? Why are you arresting me?" Yang Zhao's face looked ugly and he retreated repeatedly.
"Yang Zhao, the Marquis of Zhenbei is plotting rebellion. I am here to arrest you and bring you to justice."
Xu Chang spoke with great righteousness.
Yang Zhao's eyes turned cold.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere and instantly blocked Yang Zhao's way...
