Chapter 426 (1/2)
The next day, Xie Xuan presented Ye Zhiqiu's Chen love letter and fold to the emperor.
When a group of ministers came in at the front of the palace gate, their talents were bright.
”Xie Shilang.” old Feng Shangshu, who has been in charge of the Ministry of punishment for many years, stopped Xie Yu, walked to his side and whispered, ”don't investigate the case of Duke Heng. You can cover it up by your head. That's all.”
Xie Xuan could not help frowning, ”this case has just begun to be investigated.”
”Why don't you understand? The emperor doesn't want you to check what happened 20 years ago. If it wasn't for ye Wuxian's meritorious rescue, who would mention the Duke of Heng? That is, you're too young to know what's at stake here.”
Feng Shangshu, with white hair, looked at the young man in front of him. His eyes were full of surprise at how you were so afraid of death. He whispered, ”don't talk more. You're right to listen to me.”
Xie Heng said expressionless, ”I have written down the doubts related to the old case of the Duke of hengguo and submitted them.”
”What?” Feng Shangshu almost couldn't breathe. His face turned purple for a moment and calmed down for a while. ”The emperor hasn't been in good health these days. I probably haven't had time to see the folding that has just been presented. I'll let someone pick it out. This... You shouldn't have happened.”
Xie Zhen really has excellent skills, otherwise he could not have a foothold in the Ministry of punishment in such a short time.
But the young man, in the end, is a newborn calf not afraid of tigers. He dares to plunge into such a big case. He risked his life like his little brother.
Xie Yu said nothing.
Somehow, the ministers in front suddenly stopped.
Xie Xuan and Feng Shangshu also stopped and looked forward.
Wang Liang, the chief steward of the internal attendant, stood on the high level and said to the crowd, ”the emperor is not feeling well today. Please come back.”
Zhao Yi hasn't been to the court since he went to the rooftop. The ministers whispered a few words and went back.
”You're a lucky boy.” Feng Shangshu said, ”the emperor's dragon body is unwell. I'm sure I haven't seen your folding. I'll do it now.”
Xie Xuan turned around and said faintly, ”let's have a rest.”
Although Feng Shangshu was old, his ear power was not bad. His face froze when he heard this, ”you man...”
In the middle of his speech, Wang Liang came over, ”Xie Shilang, stay here. The emperor declares you to meet alone.”
Xie Xuan looked as usual and said, ”thank you for leading the way.”
”Xie Shilang!” Feng Shangshu whispered behind him, ”listen to me, don't contradict the emperor.”
Without looking back, Xie Xuan walked towards the old emperor's bedroom without hesitation.
Wang Liang led the way and walked for a long time. He didn't mean anything until he came to the palace gate. He generally opened his mouth to remind him, ”be careful, Lord Xie.”
Xie Xuan glanced at him, nodded slightly, and went into the temple together.
Ambergris and medicine in the hall overlap, so it's hard to tell which flavor is heavier.
The palace attendants were on both sides. The old emperor leaned against the arhat bed and closed his eyes for a rest. His sick face looked more and more haggard.
Wang Liang came forward and whispered, ”emperor, Xie Shilang is coming.”
Xie Xuan saluted in an unassuming manner and half knelt in the center of the hall.
The old emperor opened his eyes for a long time. He looked at the cold young man with turbid eyes and said in a low voice, ”do you know why I summoned you alone?”
”The emperor has something to order,” Xie said slowly
Zhao Yi reached out and rubbed the center of his eyebrows. It seemed that he had a headache. He couldn't stand it anymore. Wang Liang nearby hurried forward to help press his head.
The old emperor slowed down a little and said in a deep voice, ”the old case of the Ye family has been solved. I will issue an order to give it to the Duke of the marriage state, which will be inherited by Ye Wuji. You don't have to say more about what will happen later.”
”Emperor!” Xie Xuan raised his eyes. He didn't know how to protect himself. He said positively: ”there are still many suspicious points in the old Ye family case. Wei Chen has listed them in detail in the Memorial...”
