Chapter 341: Raising an Army to Punish the Crime

Tongming Palace.

Huo Jinchi had just met the tutor.

Sure enough, a few days ago, the three ministers suddenly united to impeach one of the Taifu's disciples.

Jiang Congwen, who was then the education commissioner of Zhili Province, committed fraud in this year's college entrance examination for personal gain. Several students who studied under him all passed the examination and became scholars, and one even won the first place.

Not only Jiang Congwen was impeached, but also the Grand Tutor, who was accused of indulging his students and forming a clique for personal gain.

The ultimate purpose of saying so much is naturally to suggest that the Grand Tutor should no longer continue to teach the eldest prince and let Huo Jinchi choose someone else.

Regarding this matter, Huo Jinchi has suspended Jiang Congwen's post as academician and sent people from the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Personnel to investigate.

The result is not out yet, but in the past few days they have actually fabricated several more charges against the Grand Tutor, and have continuously submitted memorials asking Huo Jinchi to suspend his position as Grand Tutor.

Hawking Chi did not agree. Just now, the master came to express his gratitude.

Seeing the old minister, who was over sixty years old, crying in front of him, Hawking Chi felt mixed emotions, the biggest of which was anger.

If he cannot clean up the political situation, how can he be worthy of these old ministers who have bent their backs for the country!

At this time, Xu An hesitantly exposed his head several times outside the veil.

Huo Jinchi saw it the first time. Seeing that he didn't come in but was still wandering outside, he couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?"

Xu An then walked in quickly and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, someone from the Yanning Palace has come to ask Your Majesty to come over."

Hawking looked up, his face showing concern. "Can you tell me what it is?"

"Nothing was said, so it shouldn't be a big deal." Xu An said, "I saw that the emperor was busy, so I hesitated whether to tell you."

Because of the impeachment of the Grand Tutor, Huo Jinchi has indeed not visited Yun Qin for several days.

It was rare for someone to invite him over. Yun Qin was not the kind of person who cared too much about her daughter. Even if it was nothing serious, she probably had something to say.

Thinking of this, Huo Jinchi put down the pen in his hand, stood up and said to Xu An: "Let's go to Yanning Palace."

"Yes." Then Xu An sang loudly: "Driving Yanning Palace."

When Huo Jinchi walked into the gate of Yanning Palace, he saw Yun Qin standing at the entrance.

His brows twitched slightly, and his steps unconsciously quickened.

"Your Highness."

Yun Qin leaned forward to greet him. When she leaned forward, Huo Jinchi had already walked over and supported her.

"Why are you standing here waiting?" he asked in a low voice.

Yun Qin raised her eyes and looked at him with a smile, "Your Majesty, don't be afraid of ruining your concubine's habit."

She had a smile on her face, but Huo Jinchi still felt that the atmosphere in Yanning Palace was unusual. He naturally glanced at Rong Xin, the person Yun Qin trusted the most.

Although Rong Xin lowered her head, Huo Jinchi still found that she was in a very low mood.

"Your Majesty, please enter the palace first."

Huo Jinchi was brought back to his senses by Yun Qin's voice, and walked into the hall with her. As soon as he entered, he heard the sound of the hall door closing behind him.

No one followed him into the temple.

Huo Jinchi glanced at Yun Qin, but saw that her expression did not change at all. But for some reason, he actually felt a bit of the "Hongmen Banquet" flavor.

"What happened?" he asked with a slightly frowned brow.

Yun Qin did not answer him, but only gestured for him to sit on the couch.

Then he poured Hawking a cup of tea.

During this time, Hawking kept looking at her. When she put down the teapot, he grabbed her hand and pulled her to his side.

"Speak, what's going on?"

Yun Qin also raised her eyes to look at him for a moment, and finally took out the copied pulse case from under the soft cushion, where she usually hid the storybooks.

"Someone left this pulse case at the gate of my palace this morning."

The word "pulse" immediately stimulated Huo Jinchi's nerves. He grabbed it and quickly turned the pages.

After a few breaths, I had already turned to the monologue written by Doctor Zhang Yu.

Seeing him pause, Yun Qin asked with a smile, "Your Majesty, do you have anything to say to me?"

Huo Jinchi paused again before looking up at Yun Qin, with a hint of helplessness and pity in his eyes.

"I wanted to keep it a secret from you."

As Huo Jinchi said this, he wanted to reach out and hold her hand, but Yun Qin dodged him.

But Huo Jinchi still forcibly held her hand and said, "Aqin, I don't care. I care more about your health. I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you would be sad, and I was also afraid that you would think too much and not be able to take good care of your body."

"Does Your Majesty think you can keep this a secret from me for my entire life?" Yun Qin asked with a hint of sarcasm.

Huo Jinchi looked into her eyes, "At least until you can believe me."

Facing the serious light in his eyes, Yun Qin finally gave in and slightly shifted her gaze away, "Your Majesty, you are repeating the same old things again."

"Okay, I won't tell you." Huo Jinchi sighed softly, caressing her slightly pale cheeks with his hands. "You don't have to be patient in front of me."

Yun Qin frowned, her eyes finally turned red, "I asked Your Majesty to come here, not to let Your Majesty see how pitiful I am, but to bring an army to question me!"

"Okay, just ask me and I'll admit it." Huo Jinchi said softly.

Yun Qin lowered her eyes slightly, and tears as big as beans fell, one by one hitting the two people's clasped hands.

She shed tears silently, which made Huo Jinchi even more distressed. He wanted to hold her in his arms, but was blocked by Yun Qin.

"I don't feel sad, it's just that I haven't experienced it before." She lowered her head and said in a muffled voice, "My sister is sadder than me, I dare not say more to her..."

Huo Jinchi's heart was broken when he heard this. He once again ignored the resistance and held her in his arms, "Tell me about it."

Yun Qin shook her head again, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and choked up and said, "What I hate to do most is to make my enemies happy, so I won't keep crying."

Huo Jinchi's eyes also turned cold. Yun Qin didn't need to say it, he already knew who it was.

"I don't like it either."

Yun Qin was in his arms, she raised her head, with tear marks still on her face, she looked extremely pitiful.

Huo Jinchi gently wiped away her tears with his fingers and sighed softly, "You are like this, which makes me feel even more distressed."

Yun Qin didn't say anything, but in fact she had come back to her senses from her out-of-control emotions.

Things have already happened. Feeling sad or crying will not turn back time. The only thing we can do now is to look forward.

"I have always said that I am not sad. Sadness is the most useless thing and can become a weapon for others." Yun Qin drooped her eyelashes to hide the coldness in her eyes, "I would rather see others sad than myself."

Listening to her offensive words, Huo Jinchi did not think there was anything wrong with it. He even felt that Concubine De's move had helped him a lot.

The matter of Yun Qin's body was ultimately a huge rock hanging over his head, and he didn't know when it would fall, causing the little trust Yun Qin had built up in him to instantly crumble.

But Defei's action not only eliminated this hidden danger for him, but also distracted Yunqin's attention. Even if she hated herself in her heart, it was far less than her hatred for Defei.

To be honest, Huo Jinchi wanted to reward Concubine De well.
