In the palace, although it was late at night, a courtyard was still brightly lit.
Mrs. Wang huddled in the corner of the bed, her eyes red, looking at the palace clothes placed on the bed in trance.
Is this the good-for-nothing emperor the world calls him?
The world is so ridiculous, everyone has been deceived.
Is this a method that a good-for-nothing emperor can do?
She is a woman who stayed in the palace overnight and even changed her clothes. How can she explain clearly this time?
Is Your Majesty trying to completely break away from the Sun family?
After tonight, even if she regrets it, she may never be able to repair the gap with Sun Zhen.
I was completely cornered!
We must board your Majesty's pirate ship.
Thinking of this, she really wanted to cry without tears, and regretted so much that her intestines turned green.
This good-for-nothing son is such a cheat!
Why didn't I see clearly before I scolded others today?
She slapped her mouth hard several times, and her tears couldn't help falling anymore.
…
now.
The queen's bedroom.
Li Yi lazily stroked Ye Qingluan's smooth and delicate back muscles, distracted. Ye Qingluan in his arms stuck out his tongue playfully. Although he came from a family of military generals and had a hot temper, at this moment, he was like a little woman in love. Ruyu's cheek rubbed hard against his chest.
"Your Majesty, I am fine. Otherwise, I will serve you tonight."
Li Yi shook his head, "No."
"Your wound has just healed. How can you do strenuous exercise? Once the wound is pulled, I will become a sinner."
This concern made Ye Qingluan's heart feel like honey, but his delicate face revealed an expression of remorse, "But I really don't want to let His Majesty suffer, otherwise you should go find..."
"Okay, no need to say more, I will hold you to sleep tonight and close your eyes."
Ye Qingluan just closed his eyes and suddenly opened them again, "Your Majesty, otherwise I will use my mouth..."
Hearing this, Li Yi seemed to have opened a new world. He held up her face with both hands and slowly lowered it.
"Well!"
Half an hour later, a comfortable voice came out.
Just as he was about to say something, suddenly, Cao Qingyan, who had been preparing to rebuild the internal machine supervisor, appeared at the door in a hurry, "Your Majesty, I have something big to report!"
"If anything happens, we'll talk about it tomorrow!" Li Yi replied impatiently.
Cao Qingyan outside the door said without giving up: "Your Majesty, we have found a clue about Master Longmen."
"What!" Li Yi stood up suddenly, his eyes turned cold.
At this time, he couldn't care about anything else. He stood up directly, naked, and strode out of the door.
Ye Qingluan chased after him to put on his clothes, his eyes full of distress. Your Majesty was so tired that he couldn't even sleep well.
"What's going on?" Li Yi glanced around and asked after rejecting the waiter.
Cao Qingyan lowered his voice, "Your Majesty, today when I led the internal machine supervisor to inspect the capital, I found a young boy sneaking around, so I followed him. After he was caught and tortured, I found that this man turned out to be from Longmen. We also got information about Master Si from him."
"Okay, take me to meet this person." Li Yi nodded, and the haze in his chest was swept away.
This is the only person who can expose Master Si's face. As long as he recruits him, he can not only catch Master Si, but also pull out the people behind Master Si.
Taking this opportunity, Li Yi could completely eliminate the sycophants in the temple and firmly hold the imperial power in his own hands.
Internal machine prison.
This was not Li Yi's first time here, but he, who was always very attentive, found that the internal machine monitoring experts on guard had changed, not just one or two, but almost all of them.
And most of them are half-grown children. Even if they are wearing masks, you can still tell that they are children from the exposed eyes.
Li Yi stopped, stared at one of the internal machine monitoring experts carefully, and asked, "How old are you?"
The internal machine monitoring expert knelt down on one knee and saluted, but did not speak.
Seeing this, Cao Qingyan quickly explained: "Your Majesty, these are the first batch of internal machine surveillance masters. Most of them are abandoned children around the capital, and many of them are born with disabilities."
"His name is Fourteen. He was born mute, but his hearing is unparalleled. He can clearly distinguish the movements of people and horses dozens of miles away, which is comparable to the ear of the wind."
Li Yi nodded repeatedly after hearing this. This was more than Shunfeng Er, it was clearly a humanoid sonar.
"They are all half-grown children, is that okay?" He still raised his concerns. After all, the job of the internal machine supervisor is not just playing house, it is really about killing people.
Cao Qingyan patted his chest and said confidently, "Your Majesty, you can rest assured that as long as they are qualified internal surveillance masters, without exception, they are all masters of martial arts. They are also proficient in poisoning, concealing weapons, and fighting. They are all masters. "
"Okay, I will go back and take a look at your internal machine monitoring base. If it is true as you said, I will definitely reward you." Li Yi did not hesitate to appreciate these internal machine monitoring masters, and at the same time expressed his appreciation for Cao Qingyan's work. Ability is also highly appreciated.
Using abandoned children to train internal machine supervisors is a genius idea!
The most important thing is that there is no need to worry about their loyalty. As half-grown children, no force will notice them, and their identity as children makes their actions more covert.
"Greetings to Your Majesty." A young master of internal machine surveillance approached respectfully and saluted.
Cao Qingyan immediately introduced: "Your Majesty, I followed the previous dynasty and specially designed four commanders, namely Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu. He is the head of the four commanders, Qinglong Commander."
Li Yi nodded, "Your name is Qinglong?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The voice is loud and full of energy.
"good!"
"Since it was recommended by Cao Aiqing, I believe you unconditionally. You are right, Commander Qinglong." Li Yi's eyes were cold, and he raised the corners of his mouth with a cold smile.
This sentence seemed to have a different charm, which made Cao Qingyan's heart skip a beat. Damn it, he had exceeded his authority!
He suddenly realized that although it was his responsibility to select the four major commanders from the internal machine supervisor, he did not report it to His Majesty, which was already suspected of being exclusive.
Although the emperor in front of him is young, he is a true iron-blooded emperor. His actions are tantamount to courting death!
"Your Majesty, this old slave is guilty. This old slave is guilty. I beg your majesty to have mercy. I beg your majesty to have mercy." Cao Qingyan knelt down. The other masters of the internal machine surveillance who dared to hesitate knelt down to plead guilty.
Li Yi's voice was cold, "If this happens again, you will be responsible for the consequences. I cannot tolerate a grain of sand in my eyes."
"promise……"
Cao Qingyan felt as if he had received an amnesty, his legs were trembling and he could not stand firmly.
As for Commander Qinglong, he was already under tremendous pressure, sweating profusely and his whole body was soaked to the skin.
Li Yi walked into the imperial prison, and the guard's internal machine masters were on the third floor on the left and three floors on the right, protecting one of the cells.
In the cell, a young man who had been beaten to pieces was lying on the ground, his face was pale, and the snake pattern on his arm was clearly visible.
Under the candlelight, Li Yi's tall body stood in the cell, and his tone was cold, "Do you want to live, or do you want to die?"
The young man on the ground pushed himself up and said, "If you want to live, please forgive me, please forgive me."
Li Yi's eyes flickered. When did the Longmen killer become such a loser that he surrendered after a beating?
Cao Qingyan also noticed Li Yi's curiosity and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, this boy is not the dead soldier killer of Longmen, but the waiter of Lichun Courtyard. Because he can observe words and expressions, he was just absorbed by Longmen."
"Just joined?" Li Yi's dark eyes occasionally flashed, "That's nonsense. You just joined. Are you qualified to know the whereabouts of Master Si?"
This time, the young man spoke first, "Sir, I am indeed not qualified to see Mr. Si, but on the fifteenth of this month, Mr. Si will go to Lichun Court to pay tribute. I heard this from the old bustard. It is definitely true. Absolutely true.”
"Why should I believe your words?" Li Yi remained skeptical.
The young man became anxious, swore, and finally even bet with his life.
Li Yi smiled and gave him a banquet and ten thousand taels of gold. When had this young man seen so much gold? He immediately expressed his loyalty.
But he still couldn't dispel Li Yi's suspicion.
After drinking for three rounds, he quietly probed, "Then let me ask you, your Longmen takes orders from Master Si, who does Master Si take orders from behind his back?"
The young man held a piece of chicken in his mouth and said thoughtfully: "Sir, don't tell me, I really know something. Although Mr. Si is famous in the world and has close contacts with powerful officials in the court, he has a lot of connections. There’s really someone behind it.”
"Really?" Although Li Yi looked as usual, he could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart. The person behind the scenes was finally coming to light.
"It seems...it seems to be called Young Master, what is it called?"
Cao Qingyan walked over and said in a fierce tone, "Would you like me to help you think about it again." As he said that, he pressed a finger on the back of his head.
The young man was so frightened that he quickly begged for mercy.
"Say it!"
"I remember, my surname is Yan, my name is... yes, Mr. Yan!"
A word suddenly popped into Li Yi's mind, "Old Yan Ge!"
At this time, their eyes happened to be opposite to Cao Qingyan's, both of them were filled with horror.
Immediately, after explaining something, Li Yi left the prison, and only Cao Qingyan was accompanying him. The two of them had a tacit understanding and didn't speak a word all the way.
As soon as he arrived at the queen's palace, Li Yi said in a solemn tone, "Cao Aiqing, only heaven and earth know this matter. You know it and I know it. If there is a third person, you know the consequences."
"Old slave understands."
Tonight, I'm afraid Li Yi really can't sleep. To be precise, he doesn't dare to sleep.
…
At dawn, people in the capital have started a new day, and the streets are crowded.
Mrs. Wang, dressed in a palace dress with butterflies and hundreds of flowers, returned to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Justice under the escort of dozens of soldiers from the imperial army.
I haven't returned home all night and have changed my clothes. I'm afraid it's hard to explain this.
Sure enough, a furious sound came from the Palace of the Minister of Justice, accompanied by bursts of curses and the sound of smashing.
"Shameless bitch, you have completely disgraced my Sun family!"
