The seven or eight-year-old girl covered her brother's mouth and hid in the closet tremblingly.Through the small gap in the closet, you can see the burning torches outside, as well as figures flashing past from time to time.

She was shaking with fear, her younger brother curled up in her arms, the two of them curled up into a small ball, with layers of clothes covering their bodies and heads.

The people outside seemed to be looking for something, walking around cursing, and there were bang bang sounds from time to time.

The little girl opened her eyes wide and didn't even dare to breathe. She could only close her eyes and cover her ears, as if she couldn't see the fire outside, smell the strong smell of blood in the air, and hear what those people mentioned. "Threading technique".

"Stop arguing." A moderate scolding stopped the cursing of the group of people. This voice was pleasant, with an inexplicable soothing power, which made the little girl hiding in the cabinet relax a little bit involuntarily.

She opened her eyes, boldly, quietly approached the gap in the closet, and looked outside—it was pitch black.It turned out that at some point, those people had already left.

The little girl was taken aback, and suddenly, a shiny thing was pasted on the gap. It was a warm, smiling, black and white eyeball!

"what--"

-

His Majesty was furious again at the court meeting.

As for why it is "again", it is not because there have been several massacres this month, and all of them are important officials in the court!

If it were ordinary people, they wouldn't be able to listen to the heavens, and if they ran into a heartless person who closed the case in a muddleheaded way, they would be annihilated in the long river of history. Who would investigate who the murderer was?

But it's different to be an important minister in the court.Most of the ministers who died were young talents single-handedly promoted in the past. Some had just married and started businesses, and some were just children.

Even though Ye Changyan tried his best to prevent himself from suspecting this matter on the old minister.However, daring to be presumptuous under his nose like this has completely touched his bottom line!

Ever since, in the early court, today he was furious, and directly scolded a group of old officials until their heads were bloody and their faces were flushed. If the last trace of reason was not still there, he might be able to dismiss several officials on the spot!

After scolding, he ordered the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Jing Zhaoyin to conduct a thorough investigation. Officials from other ministries must fully cooperate, and any clues must not be let go. crime.

——Including those royal relatives, royal clans.

When he said the last sentence, the little emperor smiled slightly, his voice was very soft, but with gritted hatred.

During this period of time, quite a few of the royal relatives, royal family members, and elders of several dynasties gave up their knees and wanted to cry, feeling that they were really wronged.

But when they thought about what they had done before, one by one reluctantly swallowed this bitter pill——

Don't bully the young and the poor, they relied on their high positions and powers to rely on the old and sell the old, and if they wanted to control the current sage, they should have thought that there would be today.

The little emperor was full of anger today, he ignited at the court meeting, and wanted to continue irritating when he returned to the palace.

Fortunately, the queen held him down in time, and persuaded: "Miss Huang is about to enter the palace, is your Majesty planning to let Sis Huang see a joke?"

In one sentence, the anger on the little emperor's head was extinguished.He felt aggrieved and unwilling, but he didn't want to worry Huang Jie, so he could only hold back his anger and endure it.

The queen said again: "Your Majesty is so worried, why didn't you call for Zhennan Hou to return to Beijing?"

Ye Changyan shook his head and said: "The southwestern border is unstable, and the southern barbarians are watching. He is now guarding the southwest, and the group of barbarians can restrain themselves a bit. If Lan Qing is called back to Beijing at this time, the barbarians may break in as soon as he leaves. In town."

The queen understood, thought for a while, and smiled again: "It's okay, the Marquis of Zhennan guarding the frontier can't come back, isn't there someone else?"

Ye Changyan blinked and looked at her suspiciously.

The queen winked at him mysteriously, and said softly: "Ping'er." Seeing the emperor's suddenly enlightened expression, she continued, "I heard that Ping'er has returned to Beijing. Come to think of it, when the imperial sister entered the palace, he They will also come together. If your majesty has something important, why don't you discuss it with Ping'er?"

"Ping'er is still young, it's not appropriate to discuss this kind of thing with him..."

"Ping'er has been an adult for many years. At the age of ordinary people, children can play soy sauce!" The queen covered her lips and joked, "Didn't the emperor say it last time, she is very strict with Ping'er on weekdays?" , Your Majesty, you still think that Ping'er is a child who hasn't grown up."

The emperor smiled and said nothing.

The queen gently stroked his hand, and said softly: "Born in our family, no matter how young the child is, he has to bear the responsibility when he should; what's more, Ping'er is not just a child of our family, he is still a beautiful woman. Where is Ting Xiaozhu's owner!

Now is the time for employing people, Zhennanhou is guarding the southwest, and the cultivators must be useless again. Only Ping'er can listen to His Majesty and help His Majesty solve problems. "

"You're talking nonsense, I can't beat you." The emperor smiled slightly, and tapped the tip of the queen's nose lightly, "Well, what you said is right, no matter how young Ping'er is, she is also my nephew, so it should be his responsibility." , he can't escape. Hey... I was thinking of hiding him for two more years, so that he wouldn't suffer so early."

The queen knew that he always loved this nephew the most, so she just laughed and didn't say anything.

-

Princess Dongyang was called back by a letter from her son.The mother and son goodbye, there is no hugging and crying and expressing their feelings to each other as outsiders imagined, the eldest princess's eyes were not red, she just patted her son's head lightly, and led him into the palace.

Ye Fangping seldom entered the palace since she paid her respects to Pingting Xiaozhu, and now she feels a bit in a hurry.

Reminded by his own mother, he was about to kneel down and kowtow to salute when Ye Changyan stopped him.

The emperor took Ye Fangping's hand and pressed him to sit down, and complained to his sister dissatisfiedly: "We are all from our own family, there are only four of us in one room, and there are not even little eunuchs and maids, so don't worry about it so much, sister!" Be well behaved, look at scaring the children...

Don't be afraid, Ping'er, it's like being at home here, take it easy, I'm your uncle, I'm not a big tiger, I don't eat people. "

Princess Dongyang: "..."

Queen: "..."

Ye Fangping: "..."

Are you coaxing children?

As the child who was "coaxed", Ye Fangping expressed that she was very embarrassed.He glanced back at the eldest princess, who nodded slightly to him, and he secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and sat down following the emperor's strength, and said with a smile: "Thank you, uncle."

When Ye Changyan heard this, he was really happy, and he pulled their mother and son to talk for a long time: "By the way, a new chef came to the imperial dining room in the palace recently, and he made squirrel fish first-hand! Sister Huang, you and Ping'er will have dinner at noon. Don't leave, stay in the palace and have dinner with me and Zi Tong!"

"Okay." The eldest princess never refuted her brother's face in such matters.

At this time, the queen smiled affectionately and said: "That's great, it just so happened that a while ago the maids of Chuxiufang sent some patterns, the queen accompanied me to have a look, and choose some to make clothes for Ping'er!"

"He's a kid, why waste good cloth?" The eldest princess laughed, "He's going to fight and kill, no matter how good the pattern is on his body, it's useless! Just reward him with two bolts of coarse cloth!"

Ye Fangping rubbed her nose with a wry smile, obediently letting her own mother's poisonous tongue.

The queen looked around, and hurriedly said: "Look at what Huang Jie said, Ping'er is so beautiful, how can she wear clothes made of coarse cloth? Huang Jie will accompany me to see—"

The emperor also smiled and said, "Yes, Zitong was in a dilemma a few days ago, what gift should I give my nephew. These tricks were selected by her, so please don't refuse!"

The Eldest Princess was only joking, and both the Emperor and the Empress said so, so if she refuses again, it means she doesn't know what is good or bad.

What's more, she also knew that her younger brother and her son had some important business to discuss, so she let go and smiled softly at the queen: "Forget it, you're the only one who is used to acting like a spoiled child! Let's go, I'll accompany the queen to have a look."

The queen was overjoyed.The two bid farewell to the emperor, arm in arm, and left affectionately.

Once the two women left, the room became much quieter.The emperor sighed, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared.

He looked up at Ye Fangping wearily, and smiled wryly, "If it's not a last resort, I really don't want to see you at this time."

Ye Fangping pursed her lips, got up from the chair and knelt down, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I am not only the son of Princess Dongyang, but also your nephew, and also the king of Shaoping County in Daxiang. Since I am favored by this, it is natural I want to repay His Majesty. If you have any embarrassing things, just let me do it."

"Why are you kneeling down like an imperial sister? You said that there are no outsiders here, and I'm not a tiger who doesn't eat people. Can't you relax?!"

Ye Changyan's focus was as crooked as ever. He dragged the person up dissatisfied and pushed him back to the chair to sit down again. Then he said, "Okay, I know you're feeling aggrieved, so I won't gossiping with you anymore."

He raised his eyes, looked straight into the clean and beautiful eyes of the young man, and asked, "Ping'er, if I appoint you as the director of the Supervision Department and give you full responsibility for investigating evil cultivators, will you be able to do it?"

Ye Fangping was taken aback for a moment, and then whispered in disbelief: "Supervision Department?!"

The Supervision Department was established by Emperor Tai/Zu when the dynasty was just established.The Supervision Department is not included in the three provinces and six ministries, and is only responsible to the emperor. The main members have always been the royal family and nobles, so their status is quite high.

It's just that the Supervision Department has status but no real power, because no one knows what they are going to do. Only those who enter the Supervision Department know what their mission is.

Therefore, Ye Fangping was really surprised when she first heard about the Supervision Department.

The emperor nodded and said: "If you agree, I will immediately appoint you as the director of the Supervision Department to investigate the evil cultivator's infestation in the capital."

Ye Fangping lifted her spirits, and said decisively: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En! I will do my best to live up to Your Majesty's high expectations!"
