Chapter 34: Chatting with the Minister of War about daily life and uncovering the big story behind the scenes

"Sister, I believe you can do it. Haven't you always hoped that you could show your skills openly?"

Huanling pressed her hand and encouraged her.

If she died, her sister would not be able to escape the hands of Prince Yu and Lin Xue. Only Concubine You and the Emperor could save her.

So, they only have this one chance.

"Well, okay."

Huanbi nodded her head stiffly, her eyes scanned the surroundings, and her hand slowly pointed to Daya, who was confused, "Sister, can I borrow the fan in your hand?"

It was a small round fan that Daya used to fan Lin You. Daya

looked at Lin You, and when she saw Lin You nodded, she handed the fan to Huanbi.

Then Huanbi asked Shangshu for a few more teeth sticks, and inserted them into the fan with a clever method, forming a different fan. After a while, she asked someone to put a fruit on the table, and asked everyone to step aside. She swung the fan in her hand violently, and the sharp teeth sticks shot out and pierced the fruit.

The atmosphere was stagnant for a few breaths.

"Papa--"

Lin You clapped his hands, his eyes full of admiration.

Although only one stick hit, the killing power was strong enough.

It is conceivable that if it was replaced with a sharp object, the killing power would be multiplied several times.

Even Shangshu Jiang clapped his hands.

It is a pity not to recruit such a talent. Maybe he can make some contributions to the Ministry of Justice in the future.

Daya was stunned. Yan Zhi's eyes flashed with admiration.

But I don't know if the emperor will agree to let this person stay with the empress after he tells this.

Huanbi looked at it and her eyes became a little sour.

This was the first time she showed her skills in front of others openly and was recognized.

Huanling's eyes were red, but a smile appeared on her face.

Now, she can leave with peace of mind.

"To be my servant, I have only one requirement, and that is to be an absolutely loyal subject. Huanbi, can you do it?"

Lin You narrowed her charming eyes slightly, and her expression was more serious than ever before. She was coquettish, and the noble aura that only belongs to the superior was revealed, which made people inexplicably afraid.

Huanbi pinched her fingers and forced herself to look straight into Lin You's eyes, "Huanbi is already dead. It was the Queen who gave Huanbi a new life. If the Queen wants Huanbi's heart, Huanbi will give it to her without hesitation."

In fact, after knowing that Lin You was the benefactor who saved her and woke her up, Huanbi had already planned to enter the palace in the future. She wanted to serve Lin You and repay Lin You, so even if there was no such opportunity, she would go to her side.

"Okay."

"I believe you."

The brisk voice fell, and before Huanbi could be happy, a figure bent down, and then her cheeks were pinched. Huanbi stared at Lin You's face so close, and her heart couldn't help but stagnate.

Then she jumped up and down, like a fluttering deer, and her face turned red.

Lin You still had to see the Minister of War and Doctor Chen, so she left this time to the two sisters.

"Please come this way, Your Majesty."

When the Shangshu heard that the emperor asked Lin You to help him judge the two, he was so happy that he felt comfortable all day. Now that he finally waited for this moment, he was very positive.

The moment he saw Lin You appear, Li Changgong, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, sneered disdainfully, "Humph, the evil concubine who brought chaos to the court."

Lin You raised his eyebrows, with a smile on his red lips, "I like the name

of evil concubine." "It fits my charming face very well."

Li Changgong, "..."

Shameless!

"I remember that your name seems to be Li Chang... Bai, right?" Lin You pretended to think.

Li Changgong was furious, "I am Li Changgong."

"Oh!" The charming woman nodded calmly, as if she didn't see his eyes that were about to spit fire, "Then this name has a good meaning. Did your father give it to you?"

As they chatted, they actually talked about family matters, which confused the ministers next to them.

"Of course."

Li Changgong's eyes showed pride. He has taken his father as a role model since he was a child.

"I remember that your father died on a rainy night two years ago, right?"

Li Changgong was startled, looking at Lin You with a look of surprise in his eyes. He thought about it and remembered that his father did die on a rainy night.

At that time, his father was euthanized and the funeral was held normally. How could Concubine You remember it so clearly?

"Concubine You, just say whatever you want to say, no need to beat around the bush."

​​It must be not simple to suddenly mention his father's death.

"Hey." Lin You sighed and nodded his head, "Look, isn't he quite smart? Why do you seem to have water in your brain when it comes to your father's death? Is it because it rained that day that your brain is filled with water?"

"You..." Li Changgong was furious and sneered, "Haha, Your Majesty, you don't mean that my father was murdered by someone!"

"Humph, at that time I had already asked someone to..."

"Are you going to say next that you had already ordered people to check your father's body, and there were no scars or poisoning?" Lin You interrupted him and spoke over him.

Li Changgong's pupils froze. "How did your majesty know?"

Lin You smiled. "I also know that the doctor who examined your father's body was brought by Prince Yu."

"How did your majesty know?"

Li Changgong's mind suddenly became fuzzy.

"It doesn't matter how I know. Whether it is true or not, I think you know it better than anyone else, but you only know these superficial things."

"What you should think about now is how you chose to stand on Prince Yu's side. Is this matter related to your father?"

He stood on Prince Yu's side because of his father...

Li Changgong muttered this sentence, and he seemed to be so confused that he revealed the person behind the scenes, Prince Yu.

The Shangshu opened his mouth to speak, but was stopped by Lin You's look.

Suddenly, Li Changgong was shocked, "That's right, after my father died that night, he actually left a note in advance, saying that the current emperor is weak and can't govern the country. We should stand on the side of Prince Yu to make Dasheng prosperous and make those neighboring countries who are eyeing us stay away."

"Moreover, when I was about to send someone to invite the imperial physician that morning, I met Prince Yu passing by outside the door. He said that someone in the mansion was unwell, so he asked for the imperial physician. Since I was in a hurry, I asked the imperial physician to go to my mansion first. I agreed without much thought."

"After examining my father's body, I found the note. This..."

"Now that I think about it, it's really too much of a coincidence and too strange."

The more Li Changgong spoke, the gloomier his expression became, and his heart sank with it.

"I'll be frank with you. Your father didn't die of natural causes that night. He was poisoned by Prince Yu. He poisoned your father when he invited him to the teahouse. He had an attack when he was sleeping that night."

"And the note you saw was written by Prince Yu who asked someone to imitate your father's handwriting."
