That afternoon, a shocking news spread in the capital, shocking everyone!

Lu Yin, a former constable of Daxing County, injured his leg while chasing a criminal. Later, he went to the Tzu Chi Bureau to work as a detective, but he discovered the mistakes in the roster.

So Lu Yin went to ask Master Yuanyou, the head of the Tzu Chi Bureau, but Master Yuanyou sounded quite panicked, which revealed his true identity.

Lu Yin was cautious and went to find the Daxing County police chief Chu Sheng that day. Several people disguised themselves and followed the clues to go to the Huguo Temple to find out what was going on.

This investigation was incredible, as they discovered that there was a farm hidden in the back hills of the Huguo Temple, and this farm turned out to be a hideout for the northerners to train assassins!

The most outrageous thing is that these assassins were all children from the Tzu Chi Bureau back then!

They were "adopted" here, suffered inhuman abuse, and finally became killing weapons in the hands of the northerners!

When this incident happened, the whole capital was shocked!

Especially when the news came out that the instigator was the subordinates of the late Empress Yufei, public anger reached its peak in an instant!

You know, if that damn Princess Yu Liu hadn't come to marry, the Northern Kingdom would have been incorporated into the territory of their Yong Dynasty by General Qiao's iron-blooded means!

The people were greatly moved on this day.

The candidates and knowledgeable people in Beijing took to the streets, angrily denouncing the Northern Kingdom's wolfish ambitions and exposing the crime of Princess Yuliu's former subordinates in raising assassins!

Memorials to the emperor flew to the imperial study like snowflakes, requesting the emperor to seek justice for so many innocent children and teenagers who suffered, and to cut the northern villains into pieces!

As the son of Yu Liu, the second prince was naturally pushed to the forefront.

The cheating case in last year's spring examination was mentioned again, and the incident of Sheng Mingcheng beating the drum to sue the second prince was also dug up.

The phrase "Those who are not of my race must have different hearts" was on the lips of all the people. They all turned their eyes to the palace, waiting for Emperor Yong to give an explanation to the people of the world!

Those wives and daughters of officials who often went to the Huguo Temple to burn incense and donate incense money almost vomited to death after hearing the news!

I originally thought that the Huguo Temple was named by the previous emperor and was also known for its reputation of protecting the country, so I felt honored every time I went there.

However, it turned out that the Mercy Temple had already become a den of thieves, and they were so horrified that they all cursed loudly!

Inside the Putian Street Restaurant, Qiao Bo and Qiao Jiaojiao were sitting by the window, while downstairs an indignant scholar was making an impassioned speech.

The common people gathered in circles, listening to the scholar talk about the inhuman treatment the children had suffered and the dark and cramped cellar, and they all burst into tears!

The foundation of a country lies in its youth!

The northerners actually dared to do such unscrupulous things on the territory of their Yong Dynasty, right outside the capital, and even in the Huguo Temple. They were trying to undermine the foundation of their Yong Dynasty, and their intentions were so sinister that it was frightening!

"If I stand by and watch coldly today, when disaster strikes me in the future, no one will cheer for me!"

"Justice! We want justice for those children!"

"The northern traitors must be killed, even if they are torn into pieces by five horses, it will not be enough to relieve the hatred in our hearts!"

......

When Qiao Jiaojiao saw this, she knew that public opinion had been pushed to the extreme.

After the prince's order came from the palace, Qiao Tianjing followed the previous plan and revealed the matter through the Daxing County Court.

Chu Sheng and Lu Yin are both passionate people. Even though they know that they will find it difficult to stay out of this matter and may even be implicated and in trouble, they still choose to step into the game without hesitation!

After Tan Hanchi learned the whole story, he was extremely angry and wrote an anonymous manifesto of more than a thousand words, severely criticizing the villains in the north!

The manifesto was circulated among candidates, scholars, and knowledgeable people, causing an uproar!

At the same time, the prince and the Qiao family's secret guards went deep into the market, adding fuel to the flames, and together they created the scene of all the people attacking together today!

[After what happened today, it will be extremely difficult for the Second Prince to become the crown prince or even the king of the Yong Dynasty! ]

[Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. If Emperor Yong continues to act on his own will, he will lose the support of the people! ]

[I really can't think of any other way for the Second Prince to turn the tables. In this case, Daddy really needs to keep an eye on the Second Prince and prevent him from fleeing to the Northern Kingdom on his way back to the capital.]

[If the Second Prince has not tried to escape all this time, then we must be more vigilant, because with the Second Prince's mind, he will never fall into the trap. ]

[If he dares to come back, he must have some hidden card in his hand that we don't know about! ]

Thinking of this, Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

She did not forget Aunt Rou's hesitation to speak, and the suspicion of Emperor Yong's early death.

[It seems that on the day when the Second Prince returns to the capital, I may have to take the risk and follow him into the palace! ]

[Fortunately, Xiao Si has already sensed something. Perhaps I can ask for his help. If anything goes wrong between Emperor Yong and the Second Prince, I can still use the Merit Mall to take action in time! ]

Qiao Jiaojiao secretly made up her mind.

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Emperor Yong regained consciousness slowly, but before he opened his eyes, the Queen's voice floated softly into his ears.

"What does it mean to spit out blood twice? Even if he was furious, His Majesty is in good health, why would he do this?"

"Doctor Zou checks His Majesty's pulse every day, doesn't he? What did he say?"

Huang Pei's voice followed closely behind, with a panicky tone.

"My lady, Doctor Zou felt that there was nothing wrong with my pulse. But today I am afraid...I am afraid that it is..."

Huang Pei wanted to say something but stopped himself, but the Queen suddenly chuckled.

"I'm afraid it's because the matter involves His Majesty's beloved Consort Yu, so he is so angry!"

"Huang Pei, since His Majesty is alright, you just stay here and watch over him. I am of no use here, so first -"

Hearing the Queen's gradually cold tone, Emperor Yong became anxious and suddenly opened his eyes, and saw a corner of the phoenix robe stretched out beside the couch.

He almost instinctively raised his hand and grasped the queen's wrist.

The queen was startled and when she turned her head, she saw Emperor Yong lying on the couch, looking up at her.

The feeling of nausea surged up again, and the queen took a deep breath and sat back on the couch.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Yong indeed let go of his hand.

"The Queen."

When he opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse, like a person who had been ill for a long time.

The queen couldn't help but be secretly shocked when she heard this.

She knew that the news that the second child was not her biological son would definitely shock the emperor, but she didn't expect it would weaken him to such an extent!

This thought only flashed through the queen's mind before turning into ridicule and coldness.

It is understandable that the deeper the love, the more severe the criticism.

"How does your Majesty feel?"

The queen tried to soften her voice and asked with "concern".

Emperor Yong fixed his eyes on the Queen, but asked, "Does the Queen know about this, too?"

The queen was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"What do you think after hearing this?"

Emperor Yong stood up slightly. Huang Pei immediately came forward to help him and placed two pillows for him.

Emperor Yong sat up, his scorching eyes never leaving the Queen's face.

The queen calmly shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, I have no particular feelings."

There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart.

My heart is dead, let alone caring and feeling.

Emperor Yong looked at the empress's calm appearance, but his heart was in turmoil.

This Yangxin Palace... The Queen hasn't been here for more than ten years, ever since that slap...

Yu Liu met the queen before committing suicide.

It is unknown what the two talked about, and after returning to the Jinyu Palace, Yu Liu ended his own life.

He was heartbroken at the time and was depressed for several days. When he remembered what happened later, he summoned the queen to ask her about it.

The queen knelt in front of him, explaining at the top of her lungs, word by word, that Yu Liu's death had nothing to do with her.

What did he say at that time?

He said: "Even if you didn't kill her, you were one of the murderers who forced her to death!"

He was so angry that he slapped the queen, leaving a red slap mark on her left cheek...
