Chapter 396: Crime of Deceiving the King

Commander Yang and Qingyang took the order and left.

Nan Xi turned and walked back to the inner hall, with a thoughtful look on her face: "Why did Fang Lanyi go to the brothel last night?"

Rong Yu lay on the bed, silent.

"Ayu." Nan Xi looked at Rong Yu, "Do you know what's going on?"

Rong Yu glanced at her: "I've been recuperating here for the past two days, and I haven't left. Even changing clothes was accompanied by Xi'er. How can I know what's going on?"

It sounds reasonable.

However, no one knows a husband better than his wife. Nan Xi glanced at him with a half-smile: "Really don't know?"

Rong Yu said calmly: "Really don't know."

"How do you know the crime of deceiving the emperor? How to deal with it?"

Rong Yu raised the corner of his lips: "I should know the consequences of deceiving the emperor better than your majesty."

Nan Xi stretched out his hand and twisted his ear: "Hmm?"

"I know I was wrong." Rong Yu knew the situation, "Your Majesty, calm down."

Nan Xi sat down on the edge of the bed and said in a light tone: "Why Fang Lanyi went to the brothel is the key to this case."

Rong Yu said: "Xi'er is right."

What's the use of just being right?

Nan Xi pondered for a moment: "Let the Ministry of Justice investigate?"

Since it has become a big deal, it must be investigated. As for what the final result will be...

"Hmm." Rong Yu agreed, "Zeng Kun, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, was once a minister of the Taisun Party. If he can't find out the truth, he will be punished for incompetence."

Nan Xi was silent. This really doesn't miss any opportunity to eliminate dissidents.

Zeng Kun is the Crown Prince's man, so he is the one who will investigate the truth of the Wei Wangfu case?

He is worthy of being the Regent.

"Xi'er, don't misunderstand me." Rong Yu seemed to have seen what she was thinking, and said lightly, "The Minister of Justice is just an insignificant person, but the position of the Minister of Justice is crucial."

So it is necessary to vacate and place a trustworthy person in this position.

Nan Xi understood, and said, "Who do you plan to let sit?"

Rong Yu said, "I haven't decided yet."

Nan Xi looked out the window, thinking that the important officials who were summoned would soon enter the palace, she said lightly, "I will show up, you continue to sleep, with the father and son of Prime Minister Xie and the father and son of King Huainan, no one dares to bully me, the empress."

Rong Yu stood up, "I'll go with you."

Nan Xi frowned.

"Good boy." Rong Yu's voice softened. "I'll stretch my muscles. They're almost rusty."

"You're rusty after just two days?"

Rong Yu reached out for his clothes, and Nan Xi took his robe from the hanger and handed it to him to put on: "It seems that the palace is missing two eunuchs."

Rong Yu didn't say anything.

"In fact, according to the rules, we should live separately."

Rong Yu pursed his thin lips and looked at her silently.

Nan Xi's lips curled slightly, and she smiled with great pleasure. She turned around and ordered, "Madame Xu."

"I'm here."

"Go to the inner court later and pick a eunuch to serve the Regent." Nan Xi said, "Don't be too old, be smart and lively, and preferably have a pretty face."

Madame Xu responded respectfully, "As you wish."

"Handsome face?" Rong Yu looked down at her, his eyes burning, "What does your majesty want to do?"

Nan Xi raised her eyebrows, "Isn't it for your sake?"

"For me?"

"Yes." Nan Xi motioned for Yin Yue and the others to come in and help the Regent wash up, "Which of your subordinates is not handsome and handsome? I thought you like good-looking ones. What if they are too ugly and affect your mood?"

Rong Yu was speechless for a moment.

It was not for him to decide whether his subordinates were handsome, and he did not train them according to their appearance. He just made the best use of them.

Because of what happened in the Prince of Wei's mansion, the two got up early today. After washing and changing clothes, the palace servants brought two bowls of hot porridge for the empress and the regent to fill their stomachs first.

"Miss Qingling is decocting medicine." Nanny Ji bowed her head and reported, "The regent has to take medicine in half an hour."

This is a tactful and respectful reminder to His Majesty that the meeting time should not be too long, otherwise it will delay the regent's medicine time.

Nan Xi nodded, "I know."

Rong Yu ordered someone to bring Nan Xi's cloak over, raised his hand to put it on her, and then the two went to the imperial study.

Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao had already arrived, one step faster than their father. When they saw Rong Yu and Nan Xi, they saluted first, and then Xuanyuan Yao said: "The master's injury has not yet healed, why did you get up?"

Nan Xi said indifferently: "The regent is as strong as steel, this injury is nothing to him."

Xuanyuan Yao was silent.

Her Majesty is best at using a gentle tone to say things that people can't continue.

Fortunately, Xie Jin was there to smooth out the awkward atmosphere: "Your Majesty, are you going to investigate the Wei Wang Mansion?"

Nan Xi raised her eyebrows: "Why?"

"I think Your Majesty might as well make this happen." Xie Jin said indifferently, "The prince of the Wei Wang Mansion has not yet married, and Miss Fang of the Zhenguogong Mansion has not yet married. Now that the rice has been cooked, just make them happy."

She said with a playful lip raise: "Maybe they are in love with each other, but they have to do this because of difficulties."

They are in love with each other?

Nan Xi walked into the imperial study, sat down on the chair behind the imperial desk, and looked up at Xie Jin: "Xie Jin, you are really black-hearted."

Xie Jin bowed gracefully: "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty, I am ashamed to accept it."

Yin Shuang, Qing Yang and others were waiting outside the imperial study. Yin Yue and Madam Xu were waiting beside the queen with palace servants, preparing tea and snacks for her. They would grind ink and then quietly retreat to an inconspicuous corner after serving, never interfering with the master's discussion.

Nan Xi's heart moved slightly, and her eyes fell on Xie Jin's peach-like face: "Do you know something?"

Xie Jin thought for a while: "If I say I don't know anything, will it be considered as deceiving the king?"

"Yes." Nan Xi picked up the teacup to warm her hands, and said in a light voice, "How to deal with the crime of deceiving the king, the regent knows better than me."

Why is the regent involved again?

Xie Jin glanced at Nan Xi thoughtfully. Her Majesty looked calm and composed, and sipped tea nonchalantly.

Xie Jin turned his eyes slightly and looked at Rong Yu. The regent's expression was always calm and indifferent, only a pair of eyes were looking at Nan Xi with a smile, and that expression was a little... unbearable to watch.

Xie Jin sighed, it really undermined his dignity.

"I happened to go to Qingfeng Pavilion last night and witnessed a lively scene." He smiled faintly, "The madam of Qingfeng Pavilion organized a program. Customers who pay enough money can take any girl from the pavilion. Although I don't know how Miss Fang got to Qingfeng Pavilion, I didn't hear anyone shouting for help or forcing her to sell her body. Everything was voluntary."

"Ajin went to a brothel last night?" Xuanyuan Yao frowned, "How could I not know?"

"That's what you said." Xie Jin smiled, "It's common for me to go to brothels. It's not the first time. Why should I let you know?"
