"you……"

The little emperor's face turned pale, and several double images suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. In front of everyone, he uncontrollably fell into He Yang's arms.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing in public?" He Yang put his arms around his waist and teased with a smile.

The little emperor bit his bloodless lips, and finally regained his sanity. He tightly grasped He Yang's sleeves with his ten fingers, barely stood up straight, his feet were light and helpless: "Ji Xiao, why did you appear here? , where is my queen?"

He Yang took half a step forward, closing the distance to the little emperor, his eyes full of oppression: "I'm not here, who else does the emperor want?"

"You are presumptuous—"

The little emperor came to his senses less than one centimeter away from He Yang's lips, and pushed him away.

However, He Yang stood motionless on the spot, but was amused by the limp strength of the little emperor. He precisely grasped the little emperor's hand and felt the cold sweat on his palm. Can't take care of yourself?"

All the ministers onlookers had recovered from the shock long ago, staring at the scene in front of them in a daze, not knowing how to react.

Liu Yun, Shangshu of the Household Department, was a rare insider among them. He raised his sleeve to cover his face, for fear of seeing something that he shouldn't see and being punished by the nine clans.

Seeing this, a stupefied young man next to him leaned over in bewilderment and asked, "Master Liu, why are you doing this?"

"I'm afraid of blood splashing on the spot."

"What, General Ji dares to kill the king in front of civil and military officials?"

"Shut up!"

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the behavior of the emperor and General Ji was ambiguous, but no one dared to speak out about this taboo.

The Empress Dowager was obviously not a fool, she watched He Yang come out of the phoenix carriage to welcome his relatives, and she roughly understood what was going on in her heart.

But how could she be reconciled once the soon-to-be empress was destroyed, with a clouded face, she pointed at He Yang and scolded: "Bold Ji Xiao, shouldn't you be imprisoned in Dali Temple? How dare you destroy the empress's wedding, you should What crime?"

He Yang took the little emperor's hand and walked unhurriedly along the direction of the Hall of Xuanhe. He ignored the gazes from around him, but stared at the Queen Mother alone, his dark eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"I ask myself innocent, why should I stay in Dali Temple?" He raised his chin, looked at Taifu Shen with unruly eyes, and said coldly: "The really guilty people are still at large, waiting to be promoted to the head of the country."

"You, you are bloody!" Taifu Shen felt the eyes from all directions, and pointed at his nose angrily: "Ji Xiao, where did you get my daughter, she is the future queen .”

"Don't worry, Miss Shen is safe now." Ji Ting suddenly appeared from not far away, walked quickly to He Yang's side, and smiled meaningfully: "Master Taifu still remembers that she has a daughter, I thought she was just Your tool to consolidate your power and status."

"You, you..."

Taifu Shen was so angry that his face was flushed, and he gritted his teeth and stared at the two of them. In the end, he had no choice but to look at the little emperor with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, the two brothers of the Ji family are ambitious and disregard the laws of the king. My daughter is so pitiful that she was killed on her wedding day." This catastrophe..."

Seeing that he was crying with sincerity, He Yang couldn't help laughing and said: "Your Majesty Tai Tuo really knows the reason for the wicked to sue first at a young age."

"What do you mean?" The little emperor's face was still haggard, but he regained some strength after a long delay, struggling to wave He Yang's hand away.

After Da Hong was overwhelmed, He Yang sensed his movement, opened the little emperor's hand calmly, and interlocked his fingers.

These petty actions could not escape the eyes of everyone, the little emperor secretly competed with He Yang, a scarlet color appeared from his neck.

"I said so, of course there is ample evidence." He Yang easily suppressed the little emperor, and calmly said, "Teacher Shen is the one who killed the criminal minister Han Ye."

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar.

Taifu Shen has the most seniority in the imperial court and is highly respected. In everyone's impression, he is the perfect representative of loyal ministers. No one would have imagined that one day he would be connected with the murder case.

For a while, the credibility of what He Yang said was extremely low.

But the reactions of these people were as far as he expected. He Yang gave Ji Ting a wink, and the latter understood it. He walked to the center of Xuanhe Hall in a few steps and said loudly:

"Six years ago, Han Ye, who was a speech official, took the lead in impeaching the champion of the new department, that is, the minister's elder brother Ji Xiao. My brother was the champion and was elected to the Imperial Academy.

"However, Han Ye and others were imprisoned, charged with the crime of treason, and ruined their bright future. Some time later, the late emperor passed away, and someone took this opportunity to send Han Ye to ... , trying to cover up the truth."

Ji Ting paused for a moment, turned his head to look at Taifu Shen, and continued: "The time has been pushed back to a few days ago. I was ordered to investigate and deal with the officials involved in the Jiangnan corruption case. Among them was Han Ye who framed my brother six years ago."

"Master Ji means that in order to cover up the truth, the murderer behind the scenes couldn't wait to kill people?" Liu Yun answered the question in a timely manner, guessing.

He Yang curled his lips into a smile, observed the little emperor's face, and said quietly: "Actually, it's not difficult to find out this matter, as long as you look through the files archived six years ago, it's not difficult to find that Mr. Han once worshiped under Taifu Shen's family in his early years. According to his colleagues in the DPRK and China, he has been calling Master Shen Taifu affectionately in private."

"A joke! The old minister has taught no less than a thousand disciples in his life. Moreover, when Han Ye was an official in the court, there were too many courtiers who had close personal relationships with him. How can General Ji mess around with me alone?"

Taifu Shen has been an official for half his life, so he is naturally not a person who can't hold his breath. Most of the previous actions were to win the little emperor's sympathy and trust.

A smile flashed across He Yang's eyes, and he ignored the old fox. He lowered his eyes affectionately and asked, "Does Ziyu trust me?"

The little emperor pursed his thin lips, his pale side face revealed a coldness, and he replied softly after a long while: "If you can really produce evidence, I will naturally believe it."

He Yang stared into his eyes, suddenly laughed without warning, and said in a low voice, "Ziyu, today I dare to stand here without any scruples, do you really think I have no preparations?"

The little emperor's pupils dilated slightly, and he turned his head to look at He Yang in surprise.

"I heard from Ji Xiao that the outside of the customs has not been peaceful these days, and the emperor is also troubled by this matter day and night..."

"Ji Xiao! You really dare to be so presumptuous." The little emperor stared, and anger appeared on his pale face, making him more alive.

While admiring the beauty's glaring eyes, He Yang threatened in a low voice: "You dare to marry someone else behind my back, what else can I not dare to do?"

No matter what time it is, having military power in hand is He Yang's greatest confidence.

He guessed that the piece of cloth entrusted by Gu Huaishan to send to the outside of the customs has probably already played a role, and the news that the 10,000+ army is calm will soon spread to the imperial city, and he needs to take advantage of this gap to settle everything.

That's right, everyone including Gu Huaishan was wrong, that piece of clothing was not a token for dispatching troops, but an effective means for Ji Xiao to appease his soldiers.

He Yang had already expected that the news from the imperial city could not be concealed, and the specious news would inevitably cause turmoil to the soldiers without a leader outside the customs. He needed to stabilize people's hearts first, lest the matter really reach an irreversible step.

It is also ironic to say that what Ji Ting tried to prevent could not happen from the very beginning.

But it is impossible for He Yang to explain clearly that he needs to use the suspicion and fear of these people to achieve his goal. Moreover, even if he confessed his heart, who would believe it.

Just like at this moment, Ji Ting took out a piece of bloody fabric with the word "Shen" crookedly written on it, and accused: "This was cut from Han Ye's shirt, and it is probably a clue left by him when he was dying." .”

A group of officials suddenly exclaimed, and then began to discuss in whispers below.

People are always more willing to believe the truth that they "witnessed with their own eyes", just like Ji Xiao who was imprisoned six years ago.

Using his own way to deal with his own body, He Yang smiled and looked at the liver-colored Grand Tutor Shen, and blinked his eyes.

"Slander, this is definitely slander." Taifu Shen's eyes were ruthless, he knelt heavily on the ground, and roared angrily, "Your Majesty, I swear to the heavens that I never did this..."

"Whatever the truth is, let's leave it to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple for a joint trial." He Yang narrowed his eyes, and a sarcasm smiled at the corner of his mouth: "The emperor has worked hard today, and I don't want to hear you continue to sophistry."

"Your Majesty, Taifu Shen is too old to endure the hardships of prison." Seeing that the situation had taken a turn for the worse, the Empress Dowager wiped her tears to show her weakness, and tried to take advantage of the little emperor's soft-heartedness to win back the city.

He Yang saw it right away, and said with a sneer, "The harem is not allowed to engage in government affairs. Could it be that the Empress Dowager has long been involved with the Shen family?"

"you……"

"Shut up, everyone." The little emperor's eyes were bloodshot, and he made a difficult decision: "Teacher Shen is temporarily in custody, and Shen Huaishan, the minister of punishment, will assist me in the trial."

"The emperor is wise——"

All the courtiers knelt down to salute tacitly, but the Queen Mother gave He Yang a hard look, and left with the palace servants.

The post-sealing ceremony turned into a farce and had to end hastily.

All the courtiers lowered their heads and left with their own thoughts. In the end, apart from the little emperor, only He Yang and Ji Ting were left.

The bright red silk at the entrance was extremely dazzling. The little emperor exhausted his mind, and when he lowered his head, he realized that He Yang was still holding his hand firmly. He didn't have any extra strength to break free, and told Ji Ting in a weary voice: "Take Miss Shen sent back safely."

"Yes." Ji Ting took the order and quickly glanced at He Yang before leaving.

He Yang obviously had no intention of leaving easily, he hugged the little emperor in his arms the moment Ji Ting turned around.

"What are you doing, Ji Xiao!"

The little emperor rested his elbow on He Yang's chest, frowning and struggling violently: "Let go—"

"Ziyu, it's so easy to miss such an auspicious day." He Yang smiled lowly, tightened his arms as his eyes flickered, and said in a hoarse voice, "Today is the wedding night for you and me."
