The system extends my life, and all my husbands want me to be the empress

The atmosphere in the West Courtyard was depressing. The servants all lowered their heads and dared not speak.

Ye Zhaobo was in the west courtyard, watching Qin Jun holding the brocade box with his sharp eyes. He also watched the guards moving between the corridors of the courtyard and the rooms, carefully checking every clue.

Ye Zhaobo was very worried and couldn't help asking, "Why would the people from the Ministry of Justice come to search the Princess's mansion? What are they looking for?"

Qin Jun sometimes bent down to check the marks on the ground, and sometimes answered Ye Zhaobo's questions: "I am here on the orders of Lord Ouyang to capture the real murderer who murdered the heir to the throne."

Ye Zhaobo thought to himself that something was not right: "Plotting to murder the heir to the throne? Looking for him here?"

"Correct."

At this time, a guard, after a careful investigation, handed a brocade box to Qin Jun and said, "Take it, the poison is in the brocade box."

Qin Jun held it firmly and asked: "Where did you find it?"

The guard said, "Inside Wang Yin'er's room."

Ye Zhaobo frowned deeply, and a guess came to his mind. Wang Yin'er had lived in the mansion for many days, and Lin Wanwan's poisoning was such a coincidence. Could it be that Wang Yin'er really did it? !

Something is wrong!!

Ye Zhaobo followed Qin Jun to Wang Yiner's residence.

Qin Jun came to Wang Yiner's residence with the brocade box and pushed open the door. He saw Wang Yiner sitting in front of the dressing table with a panicked look on her face.

"Wang Yiner, your crimes of poisoning Princess Lin Wanwan, poisoning the imperial concubine, and murdering the royal heir have been exposed. Come back to the Ministry of Justice with me." Qin Jun's voice was cold, without a trace of emotion.

Wang Yin'er turned pale and tried to argue: "Do you have any evidence? Don't think you can arrest people at will just because you are wearing the uniform of the Ministry of Justice."

Qin Jun said in a loud voice: "Someone, bring the evidence up!"

A guard took the brocade box that Lin Wanwan had just given him and handed it to Qin Jun.

"Commander Qin, the bottle of poison is hidden in the brocade box."

Qin Jun waved his hand, and the two guards behind him immediately stepped forward and lifted up Wang Yiner.

Wang Yiner struggled desperately: "Let me go! How dare you! I am innocent!"

Wang Yinyi hurriedly came out of her room and saw that they were about to take her sister Wang Yiner away. She hurriedly shouted at Ye Zhaobo who was standing by, "Master, how could you let them take Yiner away at will!"

"Pa!" Ye Zhaobo slapped Wang Yinyi in the face: "Shut up!"

Wang Yinyi covered her burning face and cried, "You hit me! Master! You actually hit me!"

Ye Zhaobo had no choice but to pull her to his side, looking coldly at Qin Jun who was standing beside him: "Without an arrest warrant, I'm afraid you can't take her away from me. Besides, your words alone are not enough evidence!"

Qin Jun was slightly stunned, and with a look of fear on his face, he signaled the guards to release Wang Yin'er, and saluted slightly: "But Lord Ye, the poison has been found in Wang Yin'er's room."

Seeing him retreat, Wang Yinyi said more forcefully: "I think you are really brave, why don't you get out of here!"

"Yes, yes, yes." Qin Jun became even more frightened, and hurriedly asked the guards behind him to leave, saying with a smile: "In that case, I will wait for the adults to issue a warrant and come back later."

Qin Jun waved at the two guards, and the guards let go of Wang Yin'er, who then hid behind Wang Yinyi in panic.

They saw Qin Jun leave with his guards.

Wang Yinyi hurried forward to close the door and asked nervously, "What's going on? It's been three days, why hasn't Lin Wanwan died of the poison yet? How did your bottle of poison fall into the hands of the Ministry of Justice?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhaobo slapped her hard again, knocking her to the ground: "I've told you time and again not to cause trouble, not to cause trouble!

Don’t provoke Lin Wanwan again!

You turned a deaf ear to my words?!

Are you crazy!

Murdering the princess!

Murder of the imperial concubine!

Murder of the royal heir!

Do you want to punish all of your clans? ! "

Wang Yinyi was so frightened that her soul flew away. She stammered, "She... that bitch is not dead, right? No, her entire clan will not be executed..."

Ye Zhaobo was furious: "I told you a long time ago that you can treat her however you want. She is the daughter of the previous emperor's legitimate princess! A legitimate royal relative!

You must not die in the Princess's mansion under the pretext of poisoning!"

Wang Yinyi was terrified: "Yin'er! Lin Wanwan won't die, right?!"

"I don't know... Logically speaking, he should have died long ago!" Wang Yiner frowned when she heard that, and thought to herself, could it be that her poison had been replaced by someone long ago?

“Pa!” Another loud slap hit Wang Yinyi’s face: “No wonder he kept saying that Lin Wanwan was going to die! You really poisoned her!”

Wang Yiner immediately opened the secret compartment of the dressing table, took out the poison, and tried to destroy it.

What a coincidence!

Qin Jun suddenly pushed the door open with his guards, took a few steps forward, and tightly grabbed Wang Yinyi's hand holding the poison bottle.

"This time the evidence is solid." Qin Jun stared at Wang Yin'er with a sharp gaze, and he was extremely nervous. "Take her away!"

The evidence is irrefutable! Ye Zhaobo had no way to stop them and could only watch Wang Yin'er being taken away by Qin Jun and the others!

"You! You..." Wang Yinyi didn't dare to stop them blatantly. Hearing her sister's crying, she burst into tears and collapsed on the ground.

"Let me go! Let me go! Big sister, save me! Save me!" Along the way, Wang Yiner's cries echoed in the west courtyard.

Qin Jun personally escorted Wang Yiner out of the Princess's Mansion and arrived at the Ministry of Justice prison. The heavy prison door slowly opened with a creaking sound.

The cell was dark and damp, with a pungent musty smell.

Qin Jun pushed Wang Yiner into the cell, slammed the door shut with a clang, and turned and left, leaving Wang Yiner crying in despair in the cell.

……

That night, the imperial study was brightly lit.

A hint of cunning flashed in the eyes of the second prince Lin Xiaoran, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he quickly walked into the imperial study.

Seeing Emperor Lin Moyun, he saluted respectfully, stepped forward, cupped his hands and said:

"Father, I have something important to report. The Imperial Censor sent people to beat up the actor Liu Yiruo, which has now caused public outrage."

After saying that, he looked up at Lin Moyun, with a hint of urgency in his eyes.

Lin Moyun was sitting at the desk. When he heard Lin Xiaoran's words, the pen in his hand paused. He raised his head and looked at him sharply, as if he knew his purpose clearly.

Lin Moyun said in a deep voice: "Oh? Tell me in detail."

Lin Xiaoran bowed his head slightly and continued, "Father, there is an actor named Liu Yiruo in Liqing Garden in Kyoto City. He is loved by the people because of his unique opera voice and opera. Every time he performs, the seats are always full.

This time the play was indeed about the Imperial Censor, saying that he was bullying Princess An Ning. After careful consideration, I found that although it was a play, it was not groundless.

Ye Zhaobo's daughter, Ye Sisi, is the future Crown Princess. I am afraid that the Imperial Censor, relying on the Crown Prince's support, may undermine the rules of our court. I ask Your Majesty to look into this matter."

As he spoke, he clasped his hands together and bowed, his face full of worry and sincerity.

Lin Moyun frowned, glanced at Lin Xiaoran, then put down the pen in his hand heavily, stood up, paced around the room with his hands behind his back, thought for a moment and said:

"I will investigate this matter thoroughly. If it is true as you said, I will not let you off easily."

After Lin Xiaoran left, Lin Moyun looked at his back with a gloomy face, and unhappily pushed the memorial beside him to the ground.

As the emperor, Lin Moyun was very unhappy with Lin Xiaoran's move.

Crown Prince Lin Xiaohe is the eldest son and the legitimate son of Lin Moyun and the Queen. He does not want to see the history of his fight for the throne with Prince Yong being repeated between them.

Crown Prince Lin Xiaohe must get married as soon as possible. After the Crown Princess moves into the East Palace, she will assist the Crown Prince and stabilize and manage the harem relatives and the families of ministers to prevent others from coveting the crown prince's position.

Lin Moyun said to the eunuch: "Let Ouyang Qingyu come to see me."

The eunuch left immediately.

Half an hour later in the imperial study,

Lin Moyun was wearing casual clothes, standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the night outside the window with a serious expression.

At this moment, a very slight sound of footsteps broke the silence, and Ouyang Qingyu, dressed in official uniform, walked into the imperial study with a calm expression.

He bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty."

Lin Moyun turned around: "You are here."

Lin Moyun's steps were somewhat heavy. He sat on the dragon chair and sighed softly:

“I have been playing chess with Prince Yong for nearly forty years, and nearly thirty court officials have been devoured by each other like chess pieces.

The Queen Mother's Thousand Years Banquet has passed,

However, Prince Yong refused to leave the capital.

I did not win this game completely.

Five years ago, when you first entered the court and were very intelligent, I discussed this matter with you. At that time, you were still very young, but you said you could help me with a brilliant plan.

Now, how is this wonderful hand arranged?"

Ouyang Qingyu stood up and said in a low voice: "It has been arranged."

Lin Moyun frowned and sighed: "Princess An Ning, Lin Wanwan, has performed amazingly well recently, and her relationship with Prince Yong is closer than mine.

If Prince Yong can get Lin Wanwan's help, it will be a huge worry for me."

Ouyang Qingyu took a step forward and looked at the emperor firmly: "Your Majesty, I have a plan."

Lin Moyun raised his eyebrows slightly, motioning for him to continue.

Ouyang Qingyu took a deep breath and said, "Why not spread the word that Prince Yong is planning a rebellion."

Lin Moyun was slightly surprised and looked at him with wide eyes: "Is this plan feasible?"

Ouyang Qingyu said: "Your Majesty, Prince Yong's stay in Kyoto will inevitably arouse suspicion. Spreading this rumor at this time can, on the one hand, test his reaction, and on the other hand, it can also make the ministers in the court wary of him.

If he has no intention of rebellion, he may leave Kyoto as soon as possible to prove his innocence; if he really has ill intentions, it will allow us to prepare in advance. "

Lin Moyun pondered for a moment, stood up from the dragon chair, paced slowly, stopped, put his hands behind his back, and looked deeply into the distance, as if he was making a decision:

"No need to test it. This game should have a winner and a loser. Go down and arrange everything. I want to see a result within seven days."

Ouyang Qingyu trembled slightly when he heard this, his expression was deep, and he slowly bowed and said, "Yes."

Ouyang Qingyu took a carriage back to the residence of the Minister of Justice. He lay on the table in the study with his eyes slightly closed, feeling uneasy.

When His Majesty had said this to him earlier, he would not have hesitated at all, but now it was different.

Prince Yong Lin Zhiguang is the uncle of Princess An Ning Lin Wanwan!

Lin Moyun is suspicious. If Prince Yong doesn't die, the princess will always be suspected by His Majesty.

What made him feel even more painful was!

If Prince Yong had not died, he was certain that Lin Moyun would never allow him to be with the princess.

and so!

Prince Yong is already a dead chess piece!

How to do? !

Ouyang Qingyu frowned tightly, thinking about thousands of possibilities in his mind. Suddenly, he thought of a possibility that could give him the greatest advantage.

He suddenly stood up from the table and took the chessboard beside him.

Place five black pieces and two white pieces in succession.

He took out another chess piece and held it between his fingers.

Soon, Ouyang Qingyu smiled deeply, placed the white piece between his two fingers in front of his eyes, stretched out his fingers with distinct knuckles, and drew circles around the white piece.

This game has just begun.

Before starting, what needs to be done urgently is to confirm the intention of the white piece in the circle.
