After being forced to marry a tyrant: I overturned the original plot

"Is this the case handled by your Ministry of Justice?"

In the court, Gu Fei threw a stack of memorials down, directly in front of the Minister of Justice.

He said coldly: "If you can't be a good minister, you should find someone else to replace you as soon as possible."

Minister Liu knelt tremblingly.

I don't understand why Your Majesty suddenly attacked the Ministry of Justice this morning.

He couldn't help but glance at Ge Weili behind him.

His Majesty had previously commended this minister for the assassination case, but now he is attacking his own minister...

Could it be that this old fellow Ge Weili said something in front of His Majesty?

When Ge Weili saw the resentful look in his superior's eyes, he knew he had been misunderstood. He lowered his eyes helplessly.

"Lord Ge."

But he couldn't keep a low profile and avoid the limelight. He didn't know what was wrong with His Majesty. After scolding Minister Liu, he specifically asked him to lead the way after the court was dismissed.

"Does the Ministry of Justice still have the files on Prince Yong's rebellion?"

Gu Fei placed his hands behind his back on the steps and suddenly asked about the old case.

The other officials who had not walked far when they heard it all changed their expressions.

Why did Your Majesty bring up this case again?

Then I thought of the assassination attempt by Pingyang Hou...

It seems that His Majesty is still worried and wants to wipe out the remnants.

For a time, everyone was in danger.

It actually concealed Gu Fei's real purpose very well.

Under the gaze of Minister Liu, Ge Weili returned to the hall with a trembling scalp.

Bow to Gu Fei, reply, and wait.

"Your Majesty, the files of the Ministry of Justice over the years are all on file. I will go and sort out the case of Prince Yong..."

"No need for that. The Ministry of Justice has so many cases piled up, and they have not been sorted out yet. If I hadn't received this memorial, I wouldn't have known that your Ministry of Justice is so lazy in its work."

He gradually released the pressure.

"And the remaining members of the group are still at large."

Gu Fei stood up and walked towards Ge Weili, who had sweat on his forehead and lowered his head even more.

"I am incompetent..."

I thought the matter of the remnants of Prince Yong was over, but who knew that His Majesty would bring up the old issue again? But His Majesty has always been so unpredictable...

We can't forget his nature just because he has been acting a little more methodical recently.

"Yes, it's incompetence. You lead the way, and I will investigate personally."

what?

Minister Liu, who had deliberately slowed down his pace to listen to what happened next, was stunned.

Your Majesty, do you want to review the case files of Prince Yong?

Could it be that Your Majesty has received some new news recently?

"This... is it. I will take your Majesty to the case file room."

The case file room is in the Ministry of Justice, which means that Your Majesty will leave the palace again.

"His Majesty--"

At this time, Qin Xin came over with a food box. When Ge Weili saw it was her, he immediately bowed to greet her.

"Master Ge."

Qin Xin nodded to Ge Weili, then looked at Gu Fei and said in a coquettish tone -

"Are you leaving the palace? You promised to take me out for a stroll and see the country of Chen... Your Majesty cannot break your promise."

Ge Weili immediately turned his face away and pretended to be deaf.

The queen is really... bold.

Your Majesty dared to come forward with a cold face and even made requests.

Gu Fei still had a cold expression on his face, but it obviously eased a little after he saw Qin Xin, and his tone was flat.

"I am out of the palace for government affairs, so I have no time to take you out for fun."

"That's fine. I will just go with Your Majesty and take a few guards with me. Last time I saw beggars starving in the city, I couldn't bear it, so I took some people with me to distribute some of the expenses."

"Didn't I let Jingzhao Yin and the Ministry of Revenue take care of this matter? The queen is kind-hearted, but that place is in chaos, so it's better not to go there."

"They are your Majesty's people, and therefore mine. I am only trying to do my best..."

Qin Xin showed a sad look and carved "Madonna" on her face.

Gu Fei frowned, showing his impatience.

"I am afraid I have no time to take care of you. You are not safe."

"I am not a weak woman... Your Majesty, don't worry."

"Do we have to go today?"

"It's just that His Majesty promised it before... so I'm ready."

The couple can perform in harmony with each other.

Ge Weili was led astray by them.

He felt that if he continued to listen to the stalemate between the Emperor and the Empress, not only would it delay important matters, but he would also be implicated.

So he gritted his teeth and gave them an idea -

"Your Majesty...how about this, you take the Empress out of the palace together, and after you finish checking the files, you can go with the Empress to inspect the people's sentiments?"

Your Majesty will not go to the ghetto.

I only suggested this to please the Empress.

Gu Fei narrowed his eyes, seemed to ponder for a while, and then spoke.

"Then let's arrange it this way. You will get off at the Duke's Mansion first, and I will pick you up after I finish my business."

"Well, thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Lord Ge."

Qin Xin immediately expressed his gratitude with joy, and then gave Ge Weili a look of gratitude.

Ge Weili bowed respectfully, not worthy of such thanks.

Little did he know that he had become a cover for the purpose of the Emperor and Empress' trip.

Shoukang Palace.

The Queen Mother rubbed her brows.

"Why did you leave the palace again?"

After hearing the report from her subordinates, the Queen Mother sneered.

"She is very attentive and tries to save face."

Obviously, the Queen Mother was very dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law.

The people below dared not say much.

"Your Majesty, did you really say that you want to check the case files of Prince Yong?"

The Queen Mother removed her hand from her brow, sat up straight, and asked the person who was reporting below with a sharp gaze.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, it is absolutely true... The reason is that the Ministry of Justice has been impeached and has too many cases piled up. Your Majesty is furious and asks about the remnants of the Yongwang case... Minister Liu couldn't answer, so Your Majesty angrily rebuked him and said that she would check the files herself."

"It seems... he still has doubts about the Yongwang case."

The Queen Mother blinked slightly.

"It's probably because he was seriously injured in the last assassination attempt. It's understandable that I'm worried. Okay, no need to report back. I know everything."

After everyone left, the empress dowager held the handrail, always feeling that something was wrong.

Your Majesty recently...

It's a bit too normal, so normal that it's almost abnormal.

The Duke's Mansion.

Seeing Qin Xin get off the carriage, the housekeeper of the Duke's Mansion was quite puzzled.

Why does the queen come here every few days?

If you don’t know, you would think you are going back home.

The housekeeper understood only when Gu Fei opened the window and told Qin Xin to wait for him at the Duke's Mansion.

Oh, that's what Your Majesty meant.

He hurriedly and respectfully greeted the queen, who looked back every few steps and was a little too clingy to His Majesty, and went in.

"Where's the Duke?"

"The master is not at home. Today is the anniversary of Madam's death, so he went to visit her grave early in the morning."

Not at home...good thing!

Qin Xin suppressed the joy in his heart and pretended to be regretful.

"That's really unfortunate."

"Madam, are you going to the wing room?"

"Go to the side room. I will wait for His Majesty to return."

Qin Xin brought four guards and two palace maids with him. The housekeeper was behind the crowd, nodding and bowing eagerly.

"Yes, I will go and prepare some snacks and tea for you, Madam."

"Ah."

After entering the room, Qin Xin did not rush to take action, but enjoyed some snacks first.

Then he yawned.

"I will take a short rest first, please don't let outsiders disturb me."

"Yes, ma'am."

Just like last time, Shuang'er went into the room to serve, while Huan'er and the guards stood guard outside the door.

Before Liu Qing comes back, Qin Xin plans to break into the dark room.

Just take a look and you will know who it is.
