Chapter 2795 This matter was mentioned again
Ge Yunli lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, of course we, your humble servants, must read this file!"
Nan Yan looked down at him.
He said expressionlessly, "Since you want to see it, then get up and see it."
The old ministers exchanged glances, then apologized and slowly climbed up from the ground. The other ministers, however, neither responded to Nan Yan's words nor dared to rashly step forward to examine the files, remaining kneeling on the ground.
Ge Yunli and the others took the file and opened it.
At one look, several people frowned.
Nan Yan said coldly: "Have you finished reading it?"
“…”
Several people didn't speak.
Nan Yan said, "When you have finished reading, return the file to me."
After saying that, she raised a hand and motioned them to return the scroll to her.
Ge Yunli, who was holding the file, had no intention of returning it to the imperial concubine. Instead, he clenched the file in his hand, glanced down, and said, "Your Majesty, I still have some questions about the contents of this file."
"oh?"
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly: "Master Ge, if you have any questions, feel free to ask your subordinates."
After saying that, she glanced at Ruan Hengzhou behind her.
Ruan Hengzhou immediately stepped forward.
But Ge Yunli didn't even look at Ruan Hengzhou, and continued to speak to Nan Yan, saying: "No, this question has nothing to do with the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple. I want to ask the Imperial Concubine."
"oh?"
Nan Yan asked, "I wonder what Lord Ge wants to ask me?"
Ge Yunli sneered coldly, "In this assassination, the perpetrator was this wealthy businessman named Jie Shi, so the Empress had Ruan Shaoqing interrogate him in the Heavenly Prison. So, who was the accomplice, and why is there no record of him in this file?"
Nan Yan said coldly, "Why don't you ask Ruan Shaoqing about this question, but ask me instead?"
Ge Yunli said, "Originally, I should have asked him, but asking him would ultimately lead to asking Your Majesty, so I'll simply skip the useless steps and ask Your Majesty directly."
Nan Yan asked, "Master Ge, what do you mean by this?"
Ge Yunli said, "Your humble opinion is very clear. How could a mere Jie Shi sneak into the capital, enter the Li residence, and plot to assassinate the emperor? If he says he has no accomplices in the capital, I absolutely cannot believe it. And his accomplices—"
At this point, he deliberately raised his voice and said, "He's clearly been detained, but he's not being tried."
“…”
"Doesn't Ruan Shaoqing know who he should bring to trial?"
“…”
"Or, the Queen won't allow anyone to go to the trial at all?"
Nan Yan frowned.
When leaving the Sky Prison, Ruan Shaoqing did hesitate, and He Yi directly asked him whether he wanted to interrogate other prisoners. In fact, he was talking about Li Bushang and Xie Jiaojiao.
But she didn't agree.
Not that she wanted to hide it.
But at this time, after finding out about the Emperor of Dan, we should immediately follow this line of investigation and completely put an end to these people's plans in the capital. This is the most important thing.
As for Li Bushang and Xie Jiaojiao, they have been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison and can be tried at any time.
She didn't want to see him either.
But he didn't expect that Ge Yunli would catch this handle.
Nan Yan said coldly, "Master Ge, you are also a veteran of the court. This file clearly states that Jie Shi has admitted that he is an assassin from Yihuatang, a killer organization supported by the Dan Kingdom royal family. The mastermind behind him is Meng Ke, the monarch of Dan Kingdom. These people are plotting to assassinate the emperor, and last night, the soldiers guarding the city observed unusual movements outside the city from the northeast corner tower of the outer city."
“…”
"This is clearly a conspiracy by the Neng Kingdom, an attempt to overthrow our Great Yan Dynasty."
“…”
"Don't you know what to do at this moment?"
“…”
"If Li Bushang and Xie Jiaojiao are indeed accomplices, they are imprisoned in the Sky Prison and can be tried at any time. There is no need to waste time on them at such a critical juncture."
"waste?"
Ge Yunli immediately said, "Your Majesty, do you think it's a waste of time to interrogate the criminals involved in the assassination of the Emperor?"
“…”
"Could it be that Your Majesty is so indifferent to the Emperor's assassination?"
Nan Yan frowned and said, "Master Ge, I don't understand what you mean by this?!"
Ge Yunli sneered and said, "My humble opinion is very simple."
“…”
"Where the Emperor is right now, we, the old ministers of the court, can't even see him once. Everything is under the control of the Empress. Now, even when interrogating an accomplice, the Empress has to protect him."
“…”
"What secret is there between the Empress and the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard?"
“…”
"If Monarch Meng Ke of the Neng Kingdom plotted to assassinate the Emperor and overthrow the Great Yan Dynasty, I'm afraid he, a mere assassin, wouldn't be able to accomplish that."
“…”
"However, if they secretly contact some important people and collude with both insiders and outsiders, then even if our Great Yan Dynasty is united as one and as strong as an iron barrel, we will not be able to prevent such internal thieves!"
"you--"
Nan Yan's eyes turned red in an instant.
Ge Yunli raised the file in his hand high and said loudly, "Everyone, you should not have forgotten what the Imperial Concubine admitted at the Grand Altar when the Emperor moved the capital to Beiping, right?"
“……!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Xuanqiong Palace was in an uproar!
Nan Yan's heart sank.
She didn't expect that this matter would be brought up again.
At the beginning, Zhu Feng's life experience was discovered by Ning Wang Zhu Xuan, who attempted to disclose his identity at the grand sacrificial ceremony at the altar and overturn his notice. At that time, Nan Yan knew everything in advance. In order to stabilize the situation and keep his throne, she admitted her "infidelity".
Although this incident later drove Zhu Feng insane, and she was abducted by Prince Ning, and then the emperor reduced the power of the princes and destroyed Prince Ning's power, she was overwhelmed by these shocking events, and Zhu Feng deliberately suppressed it, and no one mentioned this incident anymore.
But not mentioning it doesn’t mean forgetting it.
I just didn't expect that these people still remembered it and brought it up at this time.
This is going to kill her!
Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, the court officials, who had just become much more obedient because of He Yi's appearance, showed different expressions on their faces.
Many people murmured, "Yeah, how could we have forgotten about this."
"If she colluded with the Dang people, then—"
"No wonder the Emperor's whereabouts were discovered in advance. Someone must have leaked it intentionally."
Seeing that everyone around him was becoming excited, Ge Yunli shouted, "Everyone, we are all loyal ministers of the court. We cannot stand by and watch a seductress disrupt the government!"
All the court officials became furious.
Seeing this, Zhu Chengxuan couldn't help but clench his fists, and his palms were covered in cold sweat.
He took a step forward and said, "You—"
At this moment, He Yi's voice sounded in his ears.
