Chapter 171 The storm has just begun

In the backyard of Yanfu Palace, there is an incense and candle desk in the yard. There is a searched doll in the middle of the desk. There is a brazier in front of the desk. De Miao is holding a wooden sword in front of the desk.

Zhao Heng stood by and watched, Tai Sui stood behind Zhao Heng, staring at De Miao hatred.

The virtue and wonderful practice were to put the doll into the brazier.

After De Miao finished the ritual and walked to Zhao Heng, Zhao Heng took two steps forward expectantly and asked anxiously: "How is it? Is the curse lifted?"

"Report to Your Majesty, the root of the disease of Concubine De has been cured, but his vitality is severely damaged and he needs to be cared for for some time."

Zhao Heng breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "That's good, that's good."

De Miao smiled slightly: "Yan Ou kills people, too vicious. Has Your Majesty punished the culprit?"

Zhao Heng sighed: "E Niang has always been kind and refuses to let me die. I can't refuse E Niang. However, Chen Cai is so cute that I can't tolerate her anymore. From then on, I will be sent to the cold palace and never see each other again!"

De Miao smiled and nodded, turned his head and happened to see Tai Sui. The two of them met. De Miao smiled proudly, Tai Sui's fists slowly clenched, took a deep breath, suppressing hatred.

In the Chugong Hall, Zhao Heng sat in the main seat with a smile on his face, and the two eunuchs served.

The people from Beidousi stood in front of Zhao Heng in official uniforms.

Zhao Heng said approvingly: "You have been by my side, the Empress, the Queen Mother and the Prince these days to ensure the safety of the palace. Thank you for your hard work."

Dongming bowed: "This is a matter of equality."

Zhao Heng nodded: "The truth of Concubine De's murder has been revealed now. You don't have to work so hard. From tomorrow, you don't have to go to the palace to pay the day."

Dongming and Liu Suifeng seemed to have expected it and had no reaction.

Tai Sui and Yao Guang looked at each other, and each had their own ideas for a moment, but it was not the time to speak. As everyone bowed, they turned around and retreated.

Several people walked out of the hall, Liu Suifeng walked beside Dongming, with a little worried expression: "Senior, let's just forget about this?"

Dongming narrowed his eyes and looked ahead with a deep face: "What if?"

Liu Suifeng whispered: "If Chen Cairen did use a nightmare doll on Concubine De and her nightmare doll would take effect, then the truth of this case will be revealed. But... the senior thinks, will this matter be done by Chen Cairen?"

Dongming smiled faintly: "It's not like."

Liu Suifeng: "Then we will be in vain?"

Dongming looked at him and said softly: "The case of Yan Ou is full of doubts and there are many unreasonable things. I have not yet understood it. What I can see now is that because of the Queen, His Majesty and all officials became powerful, and De Miao used Yan Ou to send Shen Cairen to the cold palace. I think... this storm has just begun..."

Liu Suifeng's eyes flashed and he realized something: "I understand!"

Dongming glanced at Liu Suifeng with admiration and walked forward, Liu Suifeng quickly followed.

Behind them, Tai Sui and Yaoguang looked at them blankly.

Yaoguang and Taisui looked at each other and said in unison: "Do you understand?"

The two shook their heads at the same time, and then their eyes were a little miserable, and a question arose in their hearts at almost the same time: Am I so stupid?

Zhao Heng sat on the imperial throne with a tired look, and Lei Yungong stood on the imperial stairs.

In the court, a minister reported the matter and stood back in the queue.

Zhao Heng secretly yawned, winked at Lei Yungong, and signaled to retreat.

Lei Yungong knew it and opened his mouth to speak, but at this moment, Kou Zhun stood up first and saluted Zhao Heng: "Your Majesty, I have this report."

A hint of irritability flashed in Zhao Heng's eyes, but he still asked patiently: "What are you reporting to me if you have any questions?"

"I heard that because of the nightmare case, many eunuchs and palace maids were imprisoned innocently, and many others were beaten to death. Chen Cairen was even beaten to the cold palace because of this. I think that I am afraid that someone was beaten to the scoundrel and framed Chen Cairen, so I ask Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate the case." Kou Zhun's words were a little cold and swept Lei Yungong.

Zhao Heng was stunned and looked at Lei Yungong: "Many palace maids and eunuchs were imprisoned? Lei Yungong, this is the case."

A trace of panic flashed across Lei Yungong's face, but then he returned to calm and bowed to Zhao Heng: "Official family, for details, please ask Your Majesty to return the old slave to report in detail after returning to the palace."

After saying that, he looked at Kou Zhun with a slight smile: "Grandpa Kou, the previous dynasty does not care about the affairs of the Later Court, this is a rule."

Kou Zhun bowed to Zhao Heng and replied calmly: "Your Majesty, the king is selfless. How can he cover up this matter with just a private matter?"

Zhao Heng had no choice but to say: "I don't know much about this matter. After all, it's not suitable to be involved in the palace. When I return to the palace, I will find out."

Kou Zhun went further and his voice was clear: "Then I will talk about something that can be discussed in this court hall. The reason for the various storms in the palace is that the rear position is empty and there is no one in the inner court! Since the death of the previous queen, the position of the queen has been hanging. Your Majesty should be appointed as the central palace as soon as possible!"

Zhao Heng glanced at Kou Zhun with a bad expression: "Grandpa Kou is going to recommend Chen Cairen again? Chen Cai is involved in serious cases, so I will not make her the queen."

Kou Zhun: "Then, Jieyu Concubine Yang and Guixian Cao are also candidates for the queen."

Zhao Heng suppressed his anger: "Where is Concubine De Liu?"

Kou Zhun looked at Zhao Heng without being humble and arrogant, and said indifferently: "Only by noble background, innocent wealth and good character can you be the mother of the world. Concubine De can have the position of concubine, so he is particularly kind to you, and you should not be the queen!"

Zhao Heng was furious and suddenly stood up: "I have my own opinions on the matter of establishing the queen, so you don't need to discuss it anymore!"

He turned away, and Lei Yungong glanced at Kou Zhun with gloating and hurriedly followed.

The court officials secretly looked at Kou Zhun and whispered, but Kou Zhunzhe stood proudly in the crowd, his face as usual, but his heart was not feeling bad.

Kou Zhun knew very well that Zhao Heng had become more and more disgusted with him, but as a prime minister for a time, how could he be cautious about the emperor's joys and anger?

Zhao Heng walked into the inner hall with a calm face, and Lei Yungong followed in.

Zhao Heng suddenly stood still, turned around and shouted at Lei Yungong: "Kneel down!"

Lei Yungong panicked and hurriedly knelt on the ground and bowed his head.

Zhao Heng pointed at Lei Yungong and shouted: "I'm going to ask you to verify the nightmare case, what have you done?"

Lei Yungong explained aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, I am just assisting the Immortal Master De Miao to investigate the murderer of Concubine De. At first, the Immortal Master De Miao could only calculate a rough range, and could not accurately find the real murderer. Seeing that Concubine De Miao was getting worse and worse, the official family was worried and haggard, and he was restless in sleeping and eating. I felt distressed, so I arrested some suspicious palace maids and eunuchs, trying to find the real murderer as soon as possible, save Concubine De's life, and reassure the official family."

Zhao Heng took a step forward and stared at Lei Yungong: "Grandpa Kou said someone died for this, but is it true?"

Lei Yungong gritted his teeth, raised his head, and looked at Zhao Heng with tears: "The official family, what Kou Gong said is true!"

Zhao Heng was furious and pointed at Lei Yungong, with a trace of murderous intent flashing in his eyes: "Lei Yungong, you are so brave!"

Lei Yungong kowtowed: "The official family, the old slave has never been arguing! Among the palace maids and eunuchs captured by the old slave, there are indeed people involved in the case, who are afraid that the crime will be exposed and severely punished. Jie Shi was afraid that life would be worse than death, so he committed suicide. Among them, there may be timid and cowardly, who are afraid of committing suicide, and the old slave is not sure."

Zhao Heng took another step closer angrily, but Lei Yungong raised his head at this time, with a calm expression on his face and said loudly: "I am guilty! I am not doing things properly, but I really found the culprit and saved Concubine De, so that the official family no longer has any worries and sadness. I have no regrets even though I die!"

After saying that, he kowtowed deeply, and said sincerely: "I know that the ministers' questioning made the officials embarrassed. The officials always need to give the ministers an explanation. I will ask the officials to kill the old slave, the old slave..."

Lei Yungong raised his head, looked at Zhao Heng with tears in his eyes, and his voice choked: "Old slave, no resentment, no regrets!"

He knocked on the ground with another head: "Please give the old slave the death penalty!"

Seeing that he was so loyal, Zhao Heng hesitated for a moment, and his anger gradually faded: "Hey! Forget it! You... the daily necessities you serve meticulously, and you still have no merits. Besides, you are also sympathetic to me this time. Can those ministers, relying on their loyalty, treat me as a mud-wound puppet?"

After saying that, he waved his hand to Lei Yungong: "Get up, you must take it as a warning in the future, and there must be no next time."
