"It seems that he has already realized that the appearance of the Ministry of Punishment was instigated by someone."

"Gao Wenyuan is dead?"

Lu Yuan smiled and asked slowly.

"No, Feng Wuhen didn't seem to ask anything from Gao Wenyuan's mouth. He killed a few officers on duty, and cut off one of Gao Wenyuan's arms before leading others away."

"The injured Gao Wenyuan hurried into the palace right after Feng Wuhen left, probably to complain."

The visitor told the truth.

But after listening to his subordinate's report, Lu Yuanyi couldn't help frowning, and the smile on the corner of his mouth froze.

He always felt that something was wrong. If Gao Wenyuan didn't give a satisfactory answer, how could it be possible to cut off only one arm of Gao Wenyuan with Feng Wuhen's method?

"Master, there is one more thing that is a little strange."

The visitor hesitated for a moment, then said again.

"What's the matter? Say it!"

Lu Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Several groups of people suddenly entered the palace tonight, including the heads of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of War, but it seems that there was no order to summon these people from the Sleeping Dragon Palace."

The visitor said suspiciously.

After hearing the report from his subordinates, Lu Yuanyi's eyes lit up, and a gloating expression suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"It seems that someone can't help it anymore."

Lu Yuanyi said to himself.

"Master, what do you mean?"

The visitor froze for a moment and asked in surprise.

"You don't need to ask too much, you will know tomorrow. It seems that the peace of this spiritual city cannot be maintained for long."

"Retract everyone who is staring at Gao Wenyuan, and get ready, I will enter the palace tomorrow morning."

Lu Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

The visitor agreed and slowly exited the secret room.

As soon as Lu Yuan looked up at the Buddha statue on the stone platform in front of him, a meaningful sneer flashed across the corner of his mouth.

...

Tianyahai Pavilion.

Feng Wuhen, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by a slight knock on the door, and got up impatiently and got out of bed.

Although many things are still confusing and confusing, he doesn't take it too seriously, and feels that he still needs to sleep.

Just like what he said before, as long as it is a fox, there will always be a day when it will show its tail.

"what's up?"

Feng Wuhen opened the door and saw that the person knocking on the door was Lan Jian.

"Reporting to Pavilion Master, Gao Wenyuan just sent the news. He went to the palace and took the initiative to find Lan Muling. He told us about our visit to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and asked Lan Muling to uphold justice for him."

Lan Jian said slowly.

"Well, he did the right thing, he's still smart."

Feng Wuhen nodded, and while talking, he was already planning to close the door and go back to sleep.

"But he inadvertently discovered that there were other people besides him who went to look for Lan Muling, including people from the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War."

Lan Jian hastily continued.

Hearing Lan Jian's words, Feng Wuhen's action of closing the door suddenly stopped, and he couldn't help frowning.

In the middle of the night, why did so many people enter the palace to see Lan Muling?

Thinking of this, Feng Wuhen couldn't help but squinted his eyes, and reopened the door.

"Call Xinyu here."

Feng Wuhen frowned, looked at Lan Jian and said.

Lan Jian agreed, and hurried to call Lan Xinyu.

Soon, Lan Xinyu was called by Lan Jian to Feng Wuhen's room, Lu Xiaofeng and others also heard the movement, and they all rushed over.

"My lord, what happened?"

Lan Xinyu looked at the crowd in a daze, and asked suspiciously.

"Lan Muling is going to make a move."

Feng Wuhen picked up the jug on the table, took a sip, and said lightly.

After hearing Feng Wuhen's words, Lan Xinyu shook her head in doubt, indicating that she didn't understand.

"If Lan Muling wants to keep his crown prince and succeed the future emperor, what will he do?"

Feng Wuhen looked at Lan Xinyu and asked lightly.

"Then he will definitely get rid of all his opponents and make himself the only one to inherit the throne of emperor."

Lan Xinyu said without thinking.

"As you said, his biggest competitor now is you, but he can't kill you, but he can't keep you. What do you think he will do?"

Feng Wuhen continued to ask.

Lan Xinyu frowned, thinking, but couldn't figure out what Lan Muling would do for a while.

"Please tell the master."

Lan Xinyu cupped his hands, and said respectfully to Feng Wuhen.

"If you want to get rid of you without spending a single soldier, there is another way, and that is to revisit the old incident eight years ago and force you out of Lingdu. You will never be qualified to compete with him for the position of emperor."

A sneer flashed across the corner of Feng Wuhen's mouth, and he said lightly.

"He wants to renew the engagement? Marry me to the wasteland?!"

Lan Xinyu suddenly came to his senses, frowning and said.

"Yes."

Feng Wuhen replied affirmatively.

"But the emperor will not agree. The emperor has already regretted what happened back then, and he will not force the princess away again."

Hearing Feng Wuhen's words, Feng Li on the side shook his head and said.

"That's why Lan Muling will not bring up this matter by himself, but will use the mouths of civil and military officials and royal family members to persuade the emperor, so that the emperor will have to marry your princess to the wasteland, and he will force the palace! "

Feng Wuhen sneered and said affirmatively.

After hearing Feng Wuhen's words, everyone present couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

If things were really as Feng Wuhen said, the outcome would be unpredictable.

"My lord, what should I do next?"

Lan Xinyu asked worriedly, with a anxious expression.

"I will enter the palace now and inform the emperor in advance, so that he can deal with it early."

Feng Li said that he was about to turn around and leave.

"It's too late, it's almost dawn, and when you enter the palace to explain everything, it's almost time to go to court."

Feng Wuhen shook his head and said.

"What should I do?"

Feng Li asked anxiously.

"Let's wait and see what happens."

Feng Wuhen smiled and said lightly.

He deliberately did not let Feng Li enter the palace to inform him, because he wanted to see what kind of decision Lan Wuxian would make in the end.

...

early morning.

Royal Palace.

Supreme Hall.

"If you have something to do, please leave the court if you have nothing to do."

After clicking Mao again and showing his face, the chief eunuch Xue Shu stood by the dragon chair, looked at the ministers below and shouted loudly.

No one answered.

Xue Shu withdrew his gaze, turned his head and bowed to Lan Wuxian, as if he was about to help Lan Wuxian back to the Sleeping Dragon Hall.

But just as Lan Wuxian got up, someone below spoke.

"Your Majesty, I have something to announce."

Minister of Rites, Yu Renli.

Lan Wuxian hesitated for a moment, sat back on the dragon chair, and looked at Yu Renli.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember the marriage between Her Majesty the Princess and the heir of the Desolate Race eight years ago? Back then, Her Majesty the Princess fled the Lingdu privately and entered the Polar Snow River, which caused the Desolate Race to invade the border of our Lingdu Dynasty, and the people on the border were in dire straits. If you personally lead troops to conquer, I am afraid that more innocent people will die in the flames of war."

Yu Renli said with both voice and emotion.

"What are you trying to say?!"

Lan Wuxian frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"I think everyone present here remembers the border battle eight years ago, but in the final analysis, it was my Lingdu dynasty who made a mistake, and I was rude first. Now that Her Royal Highness has returned to Lingdu, the promises made back then should be honored." Don’t let people in the world say that I, the Lingdu Dynasty, don’t know etiquette.”

"And if the Huangzu know that Her Royal Highness has returned to Lingdu alive, they will definitely not let it go."

Yu Renli said sincerely.

After the words fell, all the civil and military officials present couldn't help talking and nodding frequently.

"Your Majesty, what Yu Shangshu said is very true. According to statistics by the Ministry of Officials, there were tens of thousands of people who died in the border war. They would not have suffered such a disaster. , so many innocent people died in vain, if the border war resumes, I am afraid that many people will be implicated."

Qin Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, also stood up at this time and said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, what Yu Shangshu and Qin Shangshu said is true. I have also received news from the border guards. I heard that the Desolate Race seems to have known the news that Her Royal Highness the Princess has returned to Lingdu. I really want to invade the border of my Lingdu dynasty again."

"If the war breaks out again, lives will surely be ruined. Please make a decision as soon as possible, Your Majesty!"

Chongwen, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, also stood up and said solemnly.

As the words of these three people fell, all the civil and military officials present began to echo, and everyone in the entire court began to speak, hoping that Lan Wuxian would be sympathetic to the people on the border, and marry Lan Xinyu to the Desolate Race to avoid war. To show that the two countries have repaired.

Seeing the people below scrambling to be the first, Lan Wuxian's heart sank to the bottom, his face was solemn, but he was speechless to refute for a while.

He knew that all of this was caused by someone secretly...

Chapter 3 and Three of January

Royal Palace.

Supreme Hall.

Looking at the excited courtiers, Lan Wuxian sat powerlessly on the dragon chair.

In his heart, of course he wanted to protect his daughter, but if he didn't give an explanation today, those people below would never let it go, and the entire dynasty would be panicked, and the situation would inevitably be unstable.

"What nonsense!"

At this moment, a voice sounded, and an old man in a green robe strode into the hall.

National teacher Lu Yuanyi!

Hearing Lu Yuanyi's voice, all civil and military officials looked sideways at Lu Yuanyi who had come late.

"What does the national teacher mean by this?! Could it be that what we said is wrong?"
