Ten days after Luo Yu entered the Pacification Office, the case was finally solved.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards found two witnesses to prove that Lu Tingming was indeed injured by hitting his head against the wall that day.
The conclusion of the case was that Luo Yu should not threaten the court official with a sword, and the punishment he was given was a six-month salary deduction.
Lu Tingming hit his head against the wall and injured himself, intending to frame an imperial official. He was not only fined one year's salary, but also demoted one level.
This year coincides with the three-year performance appraisal for officials, and Lu Tingming was originally expected to be promoted again.
However, his promotion documents have not yet come down, and now he has been demoted to a lower level.
The contrast between the rise and fall made him feel lost.
However, this case was decided by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, which was equivalent to the emperor making the decision himself.
Luo Yuzhi returned home in triumph, took a shower and cleaned himself up. He did not feel the slightest bit of fear from his experiences of the past few days, but instead felt a sense of pride.
He said, "Your Majesty is indeed a wise ruler. He said he trusted me, and he really does. Otherwise, he wouldn't have personally sent the Jinyiwei to try this case. Your Majesty is a wise ruler. With Your Majesty here, no matter how many schemes and tricks those evil people like Lu Tingming use, they will be useless. Haha, we are so lucky to have such a ruler."
Luo Yu had just finished praising the current emperor when a servant came to report that the palace urgently summoned the Marquis of Zhennan.
Luo Yu quickly changed into his official uniform, tidied his appearance, and rode his horse at full speed towards the palace.
Luo Yu came out of the Pacification Office safely, but the censor Lu Tingming who impeached him was demoted.
Many people vaguely smelled something unusual.
Jiang Zhixuan has been in the officialdom for many years, so he naturally knows the unusual taste of this.
He was the second-in-command of the cabinet. Not long after the new emperor ascended the throne, he relied on the cabinet in many areas.
He felt like he had been severely slapped in the face in this matter, and the resentment in his heart was about to explode at any time.
He summoned more staff to discuss how to suppress the Marquis of Zhennan.
He even met with the king's brother-in-law Shen Ruhai frequently in an attempt to gain Shen Ruhai's support.
The current Queen Mother is Shen Ruhai's biological sister. If one can get Shen Ruhai's support, it is equivalent to getting the Queen Mother's support.
As long as he handles it properly, there are some things that even the current emperor cannot change.
Time passed quietly while the Luo family was unaware and the Jiang family was plotting desperately.
Three days later, an imperial edict to enthrone the queen suddenly arrived at the Zhennan Marquis Mansion, shaking the entire capital.
Luo Yu happily let the stunned Luo Qingqing take the imperial edict.
After he sent away Eunuch Yang who delivered the imperial edict, he took Luo Qingqing to the study and had a long talk with her.
"...Qing'er, your previous engagement with the Anping Marquisate fell through. During the time you were missing, rumors unfavorable to you were rife in the capital. Daddy was really worried that you would never get married.
Who knew that God would have mercy on him? His Majesty was being chased by a villain and accidentally entered your boudoir. You were kind-hearted and took him in. He has been attracted to you ever since."
Luo Qingqing:........
She would really thank him, this misunderstanding could not be explained.
"A few days ago, His Majesty summoned me to the palace for a thorough discussion. His Majesty felt that I had mistakenly entered your boudoir that day and was afraid that it might have damaged your reputation.
He is a wise ruler and doesn't want you to be looked down upon by the world for no reason, so he issued an edict to make you queen.
Qing'er, I think His Majesty really values you. After you enter the palace, you must put His Majesty first in everything and take good care of your husband and children. Do you understand?"
Luo Qingqing saw Luo Yu's joyful expression, with a sense of hesitant satisfaction, and she couldn't help but ask, "Dad, what else did His Majesty say besides this?"
Luo Yu laughed heartily and said proudly, "Your Majesty is ambitious. He intends to defeat the Western Rong without any chance of resistance so that the people living on the border can live and work in peace. I suspect that his enthroning you as empress is a signal that he values the military commanders in his court. He welcomed you into the palace, of course, because he cares about you, but more importantly, it is to reassure our Luo family. He wants the Luo family to maintain stability in the southern border, so that he can free his hands to deal with the Western Rong."
Luo Qingqing sighed deeply.
That day, Xiao Jiuchen's jade belt inexplicably appeared under the bed and was discovered by Cao Yuzhen.
At that time, she thought that was Xiao Jiuchen's reason for leaving the Luo family in a fair and honest manner. Now, thinking about it, it was just a chess move made by Xiao Jiuchen.
Up to now, she seems to be the one who has benefited the most from this game, but in fact, she is just one of the chess pieces.
Han Jun wanted to marry her as his concubine, which angered Jiang Zhixuan.
Jiang Zhixuan found someone to impeach Luo Yu out of thin air.
Xiao Jiuchen told Luo Yu about Jiang Zhixuan and Lu Tingming's conspiracy.
Luo Yu is a straightforward person and can't stand others doing tricks behind his back.
When he heard the news, of course he would go to Lu Tingming to question him.
Later, Lu Tingming hit his head against the wall and injured himself while slandering Luo Yu. Shuntian Prefecture was unable to adjudicate the case for a while and had to lock up both of them.
Luo Qingqing, in her panic, could only ask Xiao Jiuchen for help.
Luo Qingqing carefully recalled Xiao Jiuchen's demeanor that night and felt that he had planned everything.
He calculated that she would be confused and helpless at that time.
He knew she turned to him for help.
His tender comfort and solemn promises were nothing but tricks to make her fall.
The more Luo Qingqing thought about it, the colder she felt.
She had known Xiao Jiuchen for so long, but she had no idea that he was such a scheming person.
But it makes sense. Xiao Jiuchen was able to control the court with ease in just a few months. How could such a person be a simple person?
Facing Luo Yu's earnest exhortations, Luo Qingqing nodded woodenly.
She returned to her own courtyard and sat quietly in the inner room.
