Murong Yan was worried that Danruo would listen to Yuchuan and lock herself in a cage at night, so he was a little anxious.
Dan Ruo reached out and held Murong Yan in his arms, smiling:
"Okay, Yuchuan is just worried that you might run away secretly and get into danger. Just stay in the room and sleep with me at night."
Murong Yan felt a little embarrassed. She was afraid that she didn't know that she would secretly kiss him at night. If she knew, he would probably never let her sleep with him again.
Time flies, and half a month has passed. When Long Ying was investigating the National Master, he discovered Lin Cenyi, who frequently appeared in the National Master's Mansion disguised as a vegetable farmer.
Murong Yan immediately asked Long Ying and Lin Cenyi to join forces.
Long Ying was a little skeptical of Lin Cenyi. After all, the Queen and Mu Peiyuan, whom Murong Yan had trusted before, had problems.
The current situation in the court is unclear, and it is unknown who may have secretly defected to the Ming family behind the queen.
He was afraid that Murong Yan had blindly trusted Lin Cenyi because he stayed with Lin Danruo every day.
He had seen Lin Danruo from afar. She was a beauty that could topple a nation, a rare beauty in the world. Although his own emperor was impotent, he was still a man after all, and a thirty-year-old man who had never had a woman.
What if lust makes you lose your mind?
No, our emperor was blind and trusted the wrong person before, and now he has been harmed and his soul has left his body.
There must be no more accidents this time.
He told Lin Cenyi that if Lin Cenyi could not capture the imperial teacher as soon as possible and bring him to justice, the emperor would kill his daughter Lin Danruo.
When Lin Cenyi heard this, he agreed without saying a word.
Long Ying secretly praised himself for being smart. Lin Cenyi had begged the emperor twice for his daughter, and cried bitterly each time.
His daughter must be Lin Cenyi's lifeblood.
Lin Cenyi made sufficient preparations and struck the drum to report the incident.
Once the drum for reporting is sounded, the emperor must personally handle the matter. Now the emperor has been recuperating for nearly a month and has not appeared in public.
The empress also sat behind the curtain at the morning court, with Mu Peiyuan assisting in the administration.
The sound of drums reached the palace, and Mu Peiyuan hurried over.
Seeing Lin Cenyi, his nominal father-in-law, in his official uniform, he performed the junior's greetings in a gentle and graceful manner, which made it impossible to find fault with him.
Then he said in a businesslike voice:
"Master Lin, this drum is only struck for major cases. If this is a normal case, please stop joking."
Lin Cenyi said in a firm tone:
"Prime Minister Mu didn't even ask about the case, but just said it was a minor case. Isn't that unfair?"
Mu Peiyuan looked unhappy, but he could only continue asking according to Lin Cenyi's words.
At this moment, all the civil and military officials also heard the drum sounds gathering here. After all, no one had beaten the drum for nearly ten years.
Seeing that the momentum had been built up, Lin Cenyi said loudly:
"I recently uncovered a case involving the disappearance and murder of over a hundred civilians over the past thirty years. I hope you all will accompany me to the Emperor to clarify this matter."
The ministers looked at each other, and first of all, Lord Gongming, Ming Liuli's grandfather stood up.
"The Emperor is recuperating, so we should not disturb him. The case can be heard in the Dali Temple."
Mrs. Lin’s father, Master Shen, immediately retorted.
"Your Majesty is a wise ruler in a prosperous age. This concerns the lives and justice of over a hundred people. Even if Your Majesty is recuperating, he will certainly not turn a blind eye."
The Shaoqing of Dali Temple supported his superior.
"The practice of reporting to the court is a tradition passed down through the dynasties. The Dali Temple cannot hear cases that have been reported to the court. I beg Your Majesty to make a fair ruling."
With so many people insisting, Mu Peiyuan was afraid that if he continued to refuse, it would cause speculation among the public. Originally, they wanted to wait for the queen to announce the good news before telling the public that Murong Yan was seriously ill and had become a living dead.
"Then let me report to the Emperor and Empress in advance and see where the trial will be arranged."
Mu Peiyuan left in a hurry, and a young eunuch also received a hint from Lord Ming and gradually faded out of everyone's sight.
An hour later, Mu Peiyuan returned and said that he was in the Queen's palace, holding a trial at the Emperor's bedside.
All the ministers kept their eyes down when they went to the harem, as it was against the rules for outsiders to enter the harem, but Mu Peiyuan said that the emperor was seriously ill and could not be moved.
As soon as I entered the palace gate, I saw a young eunuch running towards me and shouting:
"The maid who was previously assassinated by the emperor has an heir."
All the ministers were delighted. This was the first prince born to the emperor in twelve years of his reign. Although his biological mother was a death row prisoner, with the first prince, it would not be difficult to have another one in the future.
The queen in the room exclaimed:
"emperor!"
The ministers pricked up their ears and listened. After a moment, Ming Liuli came out with a haggard face.
"The imperial physician said that the emperor was so excited when he heard that the palace maid was pregnant with an heir that he fainted."
This is a bit outrageous to the ministers, but think about it, when they were the emperor's age, they already had more than ten children, and those who got married early probably had grandchildren.
The emperor now had his first child of ignoble origin, so his excitement was understandable.
Although I fainted directly, it's a bit embarrassing.
But he was the emperor, so no one dared to laugh.
Seeing this, Ming Liuli said in embarrassment:
"We don't know when the emperor will wake up for the time being, so why not let Minister Mu handle this case first? I will notify everyone when the emperor wakes up."
Mu Peiyuan asked everyone to follow him to the Qinzheng Hall and not to disturb the emperor's rest.
Lin Cenyi stood up:
"Empress, the culprit in this case is the Imperial Preceptor who is currently guarding the Emperor. Please ask the Imperial Preceptor to accompany us to the Diligent Administration Palace."
Ming Liuli looked unconvinced, but in front of all the ministers, it was not easy for him to directly protect the Imperial Master, so he could only decline:
"Only with the Imperial Master protecting him can the Emperor remain healthy. We should wait until the Emperor is healthy again before asking the Imperial Master to prove his innocence."
