LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 51 Noble appearance
It was so quiet in Chonghua Palace that you could hear a pin drop.
Ji Jin's eyebrows showed a hint of coldness, and she frowned and said, "Princess Regent, please pay attention to your identity."
"I heard that the emperor will take charge next year." Shen Ning tilted her head and looked at him with a cold voice, "A king must be rigorous in governing the country, be fair in doing things, and know right from wrong. If you can't even tell the difference between right and wrong, loyalty and traitor, I'm afraid you can't do it well. A good emperor."
"Presumptuous!" The Queen Mother suddenly stood up and pointed at Shen Ning angrily, "Princess Regent, how dare you accuse the Emperor of being a coward? You are so brave! Come on!"
All the people in the palace knelt down and said in panic: "Please calm down the Queen Mother."
Shen Ning looked at the furious Queen Mother expressionlessly, and glanced at the indifferent young emperor from the corner of her eye, feeling a little strange in her heart.
"Zhou Fang." Ji Yucang said coldly, "Go and call the commander of the Royal Forest Army over."
Zhou Fang glanced at the emperor subconsciously, then lowered his head and accepted the order: "Yes."
The Queen Mother was as sinking as water, and the pressure she had accumulated over the years of being in power in the harem seemed to be destroyed at this moment. She had always thought that she could keep her composure, but the eldest daughter of the Shen family really had the ability to drive people crazy.
She really wanted to know if Shen Ning would have been so bold without the protection of the regent.
Ji Jin frowned: "Why did the emperor's uncle call the commander of the Royal Forest Army?"
Ji Yucang said calmly: "Before marrying this king, the princess was attacked by thieves in the suburban mountains. This incident brought an almost devastating blow to the princess."
Ji Jin nodded slowly: "I have also heard about it."
"I was worried that the princess would be stimulated before, so I never mentioned it. I originally thought that the people from the Duke's Mansion would send someone to investigate, but they didn't." Ji Yucang said lightly, "Now that we have talked about it today, let the Imperial Forest Army go and investigate. Check this out."
Mrs. Qin was startled.
Ji Jin's hand holding the scroll tightened slightly. If she wanted to find out the truth, wouldn't it be better to use the private soldiers of the Regent's Palace? Why should the Royal Forest Army investigate?
The leader of the Royal Forest Army, Lu Yan, was a master left by the late emperor to Ji Jin. He was only loyal to Ji Jin. He had strong martial arts skills and an unruly temperament. He was a difficult person to deal with.
Is the regent planning to take this opportunity to get rid of Lu Yan?
Ji Jin's heart gradually felt cold.
At this time, he had vaguely realized that the Qin family and the Queen Mother's repeated attempts to make things difficult for Shen Ning had probably angered the Regent.
So he wanted to teach them a lesson?
The Queen Mother was obviously aware of the seriousness of the matter, and her expression showed some uneasiness: "Prince Regent, it is impossible for Yan Shu to do such a thing. The Ai family thought that either the Princess Regent heard wrongly, or that Yan Shu was talking nonsense in a hurry. He is a member of the royal family and has received an excellent upbringing since he was a child. How could he do such a despicable thing? "
"Let the Royal Forest Army investigate and find out whether it was his fault." Ji Yucang's tone was cold, and he did not give the Queen Mother any face. "The royal relatives and nobles are only noble on the surface. Only they themselves know what they have done in private."
Even the palace is dirty, how can we expect those big families to be clean?
Being noble and clean is for others to see. Behind closed doors, the more noble you are, the more dirty things you do in your inner house.
Not long after, Commander Lu, dressed in commander's attire, walked in from the outside and knelt down on one knee: "I have a humble position, Lu Yan. See the Emperor, the Regent, and the Queen Mother."
The air in the hall was still for a moment.
Mrs. Qin looked uneasy, and she vaguely felt that she had come to the wrong place, and even more so at the wrong time.
And such a mistake will bring huge disaster to the Qin family.
"Lu Yan, the king's concubine was attacked in Jiaoshan. I will leave it to you to investigate today." Ji Yucang's tone was cold, revealing a toughness that could not be refused. "I'll give you three days. If we can't find a definite result, , you should stop being the commander of the Royal Forest Army."
"Uncle Emperor." Ji Jin looked slightly nervous, "It's been so long. The clues that should have been erased have probably been erased long ago. Even if Commander Lu tries his best, he may not -"
"We can start with Qin Yanshu. He personally admitted that he was the one who led all this." Ji Yucang's voice was cold, "I will not stop you from using any means, as long as you ask for the result."
"Prince Regent, Yan Shu is innocent, he is innocent!" Mrs. Qin's face turned pale, and she knelt on the ground with a plop, anxiously defending her son, "I admit that he has lingering feelings for the princess, but he is just too much. With great love and righteousness, he would never do anything to frame the princess. I beg the regent to see it clearly!"
"Lu Yan, did you hear what I said clearly?" Ji Yucang ignored Mrs. Qin's excitement and cast a cold gaze on Lu Yan's face, "Give me the results within three days, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences."
Lu Yan's heart sank slightly, and he looked up at the emperor imperceptibly. He already had a premonition that the task given to him by the regent would not be easy to complete, and it might even put him in a dilemma.
He is not stupid and will not be confused.
The regent obviously went for Qin Yanshu.
If this matter was really done by Qin Yanshu, if he found out, he would be put to death by the uncle's house. The regent would not let the uncle's house go.
If he cannot be found out, it means he is not doing his job well. The regent will not let him go, and may even remove him from the position of commander of the Imperial Forest Army and replace him with one of his own men.
The emperor is afraid that he will also be in a dilemma. Should he protect the Qin family or protect his leader...
"Lu Yan, why are you still standing there?" Ji Jin said coldly, "Didn't you hear what the emperor said?"
Lu Yan came to his senses and quickly lowered his head to accept the order: "Yes, I am here to investigate."
After that, he stood up and left in a hurry.
Ji Yucang stood up, took Shen Ning's hand without hesitation, and turned to look at Ji Jin, "The princess was right just now. As the king of a country, if you can't distinguish between right and wrong, loyalty and treachery, good and evil, I will think that the emperor If you are not qualified to take charge, your term of taking charge may be extended later.”
After saying these words, without waiting for the reaction of the emperor and the queen mother, he took Shen Ning and left.
"Uncle Emperor, please stay." Ji Jin said calmly, "I have something important that I want to talk to Uncle Emperor about."
Ji Yucang paused slightly and said in an indifferent voice: "I will go to the imperial study to wait for the emperor."
