He just sat quietly at the entrance of Yuqing Palace, watching a famous palace maid and eunuch being taken away and tortured by soldiers. The remaining palace maidens and eunuchs were shivering and stood in the rain, waiting for their fate.
"Perhaps in the eyes of some people, I am a person who can be killed at will."
The interrogation started with a palace maid, and then several people were taken away. Chen Nan was sitting at the door of Yuqing Palace, expressionlessly looking at the eunuchs and palace people who were being taken away.
Although these palace maids and eunuchs did not participate in this assassination, it cannot be said that they are innocent. There is too much darkness hidden in the deep palace.
The interrogation lasted a whole morning, and at dusk, Lan Yuan came back with a Gong E who was covered in blood. The Gong E's body was all bloody and bloody, but he still recognized that this Gong E was the Gong E who was beside the queen.
"Your Majesty, the Queen asked me to poison you. Please show your respect."
"Your Majesty, we have already interrogated the eunuchs and maids in the Millennium Palace, and they all say that the Queen did this."
Lan Yuan felt very uncomfortable. Being discovered for an assassination was not a glorious thing, and his sister was also a concubine. If anyone found out, they would definitely think that he abused his power.
"Oops, something happened to the queen. Take all these people to the Millennium Palace." The moment he saw the maid, he felt something was wrong. He couldn't care about anything else and headed directly towards Qian Qian. Xi Gong rushed over.
Because he was running all the way, his body was covered with rain, but he didn't mind it because according to the impression of the original owner, this Meng Jinrong was a loyal woman.
As the eldest daughter of the Meng family, she was loyal to the royal family and helped him in every possible way, especially during the two Guangshui disasters, when money was needed for relief.
The queen took the lead in donating money to help the victims, and said she wanted to assassinate Wang Shajia and plot rebellion. How could Chen Nan believe her?
However, he also discovered that the mastermind behind this matter was very powerful. He was able to bribe all the eunuchs and maids of the queen, which showed his strength.
As soon as they entered the Kunning Hall, they saw the door of the hall wide open. Meng Jinrong was standing in a dress and was eating cakes at the table. There was a jar of fine wine on the table.
"You guys wait here." Seeing that the queen was fine, Chen Nan felt relieved and asked Lan Yuan to wait outside, then walked into the Kunning Hall alone.
Meng Jinrong was not in a hurry when he saw him coming in. He ate his snack slowly and drank it all in one gulp before standing up to greet him.
"Meet the Emperor."
"No courtesy." Chen Nan reached out to help Meng Jinrong, but Meng Jinrong was still kneeling there, motionless.
"What do you mean?"
"Your Majesty, do you believe me?"
"Of course I believe you."
"That's good."
"Your Highness, the mastermind of this matter is——"
"Boom." A dull thunder exploded in the air, suppressing Meng Jinrong's words.
Meng Jinrong said nothing. When he went to find Meng Jinrong again, he found that his eyes had been closed.
Black blood continued to flow out of her mouth.
"Queen." Chen Nan felt that his mind went blank. He just pushed Meng Jinrong gently, and Meng Jinrong collapsed to the ground. He shouted and held the queen in his arms.
"Come here!" Outside the Millennium Palace, Lan Yuan also felt that his mind was blank. The Queen actually committed suicide by taking poison. If this was the case, it would be fine to find evidence of the assassination.
If no evidence can be found, Lan Yuan will be firmly accused of framing the queen. No matter how much the emperor believes in him, he will have to deal with him under tremendous pressure, let alone the Zeng family.
The cold raindrops hit Lan Yuan's face, causing him to break out in a cold sweat. He felt as if he had fallen into a huge whirlpool, and the entire Xiao family was about to be sucked into it.
"If you can't cure her, don't blame me for being rude." After saying that, he left the queen to the imperial doctor and followed Lan Yuan out of the palace.
He was in a very bad mood at the moment. Meng Jinrong clearly knew who the person behind him was, but the thunder just now was really unlucky, and it happened to suppress Meng Jinrong's words.
In the Taiji Hall, the ministers were all silent when they saw the murderous Chen Nan. They usually looked down upon the emperor, but this time it was completely different.
Now that the emperor holds Kyoto in his hands, even though they have overwhelming power, the water far away cannot save the fire nearby. If the emperor goes crazy and kills them all, they will be unable to resist.
Chen Nan did not answer, but took out a stack of paper from the sergeant's hand and looked through it carefully. There were names on these papers. His eyes fell on one of the officials from time to time.
All the officials felt frightened by this look. When Chen Nan looked back, everyone was startled and broke out in a cold sweat.
"General Lan, these people are the ones who have been reported the most. Take them down and lock them up properly." Chen Nan handed the list to Lan Yuan.
"yes."
"Your Majesty..." The ministers who were escorted away were all shouting that they were wronged, but no one spoke for them.
"Dear dear friends, I believe that you are all loyal to us. So many things happened today, and I am a little sleepy. If there is nothing else, I will leave now!"
"Your Majesty, live forever." A group of people bowed and saluted. After Chen Nan left, they divided into several groups and walked out.
Chen Nan frowned slightly when he saw this. Every organization is a force. If he doesn't break them up, he won't be able to control the entire beam.
"Your Majesty, as you wish, arrest all the officials."
"Keep an eye on them and don't let them get close." Chen Nan nodded happily. These officials were used by him to control the entire beam, and they were also the key to his reshuffle.
"Your Majesty, why don't you just kill all the captured people as a deterrent?" Lan Yuan held it in for a long time and finally expressed the question in his heart.
"Haha, keeping them is the best choice. From now on, General Lan, from now on, conduct a comprehensive investigation of the City Guards, Royal Forest Army and Forbidden Army. You must keep them under your control. Can you do it?"
"My subordinates will definitely complete the mission." Lan Yuan knelt on the ground. As long as Chen Nan gave an order, he could control the entire capital's military strength, which showed how much he valued himself.
Lan Yuan hugged his shoulders and turned towards the inner hall. Just as he entered, a eunuch staggered up.
"Your Majesty, Queen, she..."
In the Millennium Palace, Imperial Physician Sun and all the imperial doctors were kneeling beside the bed. Meng Jinrong was lying on the bed, his face was pale, his breath was vague, and he had reached the point where the oil was exhausted.
"Doctor Sun, look, how is the situation?" Chen Nan strode into the Millennium Palace and looked at Meng Jinrong lying on the phoenix couch.
He fell in love with the queen because of his previous master. In addition, Meng Jinrong was a good woman. He felt that Meng Jinrong would be of great benefit to his future development and he did not want her to die.
