The scumbag wanted to wipe out the whole family, but rebirth ruined him!

Zhao Huayin stayed with Zhao Huaqin in Qinghui Garden until Lu Ying confirmed that Zhao Huaqin's condition was completely stable, and only then did he feel relieved.

By this time, the sky was already bright. Strangely, Qingshuang had not received any message, and no one had come from the palace.

Could it be that something unexpected has happened again?

Zhao Huayin was still a little worried, so she prepared to go back to the Shangshu Mansion and wait, and asked Qingshuang to find out more information.

Not only did no one in the palace come to summon Zhao Huayin, but no one who had attended the banquet was summoned.

It was just daybreak when Chu Heng heard that Emperor Hui had suffered a stroke and entered the palace, followed by the Minister of Justice and the Minister of the Dali Temple.

Since Chu Heng said that the incident happened when Emperor Hui was with the dancer presented by Da Qi, he should take the initiative to cooperate with the investigation.

When something happened to Emperor Hui, the first suspect was definitely the State of Qi, which sent the dancers. However, this matter concerned the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

No one dared to speak rashly, and they suggested investigating Chu Heng directly. Now that he could take the initiative to cooperate with the investigation, it saved a lot of effort.

So the Prime Minister hurriedly called the Minister of Justice and the Supreme Court Minister. Chu Heng took the initiative to cooperate with the investigation. Such a good opportunity naturally could not be missed.

Yan Qi was naturally with the King of Jin, listening in as the Prime Minister inquired about the matter.

"Your Majesty's stroke was very sudden, and I don't know what caused it. The Ninth Prince naturally came to the Great Wei on behalf of the Great Qi. However, in order to avoid the suspicion of being in a compromising position, the Ninth Prince took the initiative to come to me, so this old minister has to question me a few questions."

The Prime Minister's words were flawless and he gave Chu Heng all the face he deserved. Chu Heng remained calm after hearing them.

"You are too polite, Your Excellency Prime Minister. If you have any questions, please just ask. Chu Heng will do his best to answer your questions."

The Minister of Justice sat on the left side of the Prime Minister with paper and pen in front of him, ready to do clerical work.

The Chief Justice of Dali Temple stood behind the Prime Minister on his right side, ready to serve as a legal advisor and hand over things at any time.

Looking at the "court" temporarily set up by these three people, Yan Qi couldn't help laughing. The standard of such a trial was much more advanced than that of his own city defense battalion.

Let's see if these three can get anything useful out of them, Yan Qi's eyes were full of teasing.

Chu Heng sat down steadily, and the Prime Minister asked casually,

"Is the dancer that the Ninth Prince brought this time a registered performer in the imperial court, or did the Prince find one among the common people?"

The Prime Minister asked this question in a cryptic way because he wanted to know whether sending these dancers to Wei was arranged by Qi or by Chu Heng himself.

Chu Heng took out a piece of paper from his bosom: "These dancers are carefully selected from the actors in the government. They must be daughters of official families. Prime Minister, please look, the relevant information of these dancers is all here."

Like those in Wei, some of the actors in Qi's court were from poor families who sold themselves and were raised and trained in government offices since childhood.

Another part were relatives of criminal officials who were sent to serve as government servants. These actors were usually carefully nurtured by their families since childhood and were proficient in various talents.

It was understandable that Qi State selected these actors and sent them to Wei State. Moreover, these actors must have relatives at home, and they would not dare to risk their family members' lives to do anything treasonous.

Yan Qi narrowed his eyes slightly. Chu Heng's answer was flawless. He looked through the things he handed over and wrote down every detail of the actors, as if he knew that he would be able to use this thing.

However, Chu Heng's action was impeccable, and one could only admire his thoughtfulness in doing things.

Apparently, the Minister of Justice had the same doubts as Yan Qi: "The Ninth Prince was very thoughtful and investigated the information of these actors in detail. He also recorded it in a book and kept it with him, which made it convenient for us to verify it."

"Your Excellency is too kind. However, I have been sent to the Wei Kingdom, so I must be well prepared. If I neglect something and the friendship between the two countries is affected, wouldn't that be my fault?"

Very good, this answer is impeccable.

"This is too much of a coincidence. Did the Ninth Prince know that this thing would be useful?"

The Dali Temple Minister was of upright character and asked directly about the doubts in his heart.

"You are joking, my Lord. How can I predict the future? I am just being prepared."

Yes, we can't say that others have ulterior motives just because they do things more carefully. This reason is a bit far-fetched.

Looking at the current situation, the prime minister and the other two could not get any useful information from Chu Heng.

Chu Heng was in charge of the entire questioning process, and it would be futile to ask further.

"Well, maybe it's just a coincidence, we have to see what the doctor says.

The Ninth Prince is an honored guest. The Wei Dynasty is a country of etiquette. It is unreasonable to interrogate a guest. You are being rude. "

Yan Qi came out at the right time to smooth things over.

The prime minister and the other two also knew that today's efforts were in vain, and they all bowed to Chu Heng and apologized.

"Please don't blame me, Your Majesty, for our impoliteness!"

Chu Heng smiled very gently: "My Lords, you are too polite. After all, your Majesty's discomfort is a big deal, and it is normal to ask about it. How could I be unhappy about this?

If you have nothing else to do, I will take my leave now."

After Chu Heng finished speaking, he looked at Yan Qi.

"Your Majesty, do as you please."

Yan Qi also answered in a gentle voice.

Chu Heng then bowed and left.

As soon as Chu Heng left, the Prime Minister looked at Yan Qi with some worry: "Your Highness, this matter may have to be left unresolved. We have no evidence to prove that this is related to Qi.

The most important thing is, given your Majesty's current situation, what can we do about state affairs?"

Compared to the prime minister's worries, Yan Qi seemed to be unconcerned.

"When Father was healthy, how many state affairs did he handle? Wasn't it the Prime Minister who took care of most of the things? Why is he not able to do that now?"

"This……"

The Prime Minister looked miserable.

"In the past, there were many things that were done by this old minister, but Your Majesty also supervised from the side. Besides, if the monarch is not at peace, the country will not be at peace! Moreover, this old minister is getting older and it is difficult for me to take on such a big responsibility. At such a critical moment, Your Majesty, the King of Qin..."

The old prime minister was still making an impassioned speech, wanting Yan Qi to take over these matters.

Over the years, Yan Qi has a calm and steady temperament, is the most calm and self-sustaining, and has reached a state of selflessness in public affairs, and has made great military achievements. If Wei has such a monarch, why worry about not becoming stronger?

But he was interrupted by Yan Qi before he could finish his words.

"Why worry, Prime Minister? Hasn't Old Eight been handling government affairs with you these days?

Since the emperor is ill and unable to manage government affairs, it is time for the eighth son to shoulder his responsibilities. "

Yan Qi said this seriously.

Prime Minister: ...

I have said so much, but it is all in vain.

However, the Prime Minister did not object. Through spending time together during these days, the Prime Minister also discovered that the Prince of Jin had some dandy habits in the past.

However, when it came to doing serious work, he was very steady and reliable, smart and studious, and good at handling government affairs. He was much better than Emperor Hui.

Or, should the King of Jin be made the new king?
