Xiao Yuchen wants to summon Shu Lan?
Wen Jin thought for a while and decided to leave Shu Lan.
"Aren't you worried, Madam?" Fengchun came over and asked.
Wen Jin raised his eyebrows, "What are you worried about?"
Fengchun is an old man who has followed all the way from Prince Huai's Mansion, and he has no idea about everything in the past.
Fengchun blinked her eyes, seeing through it without telling her... She didn't believe it, the empress didn't see who the woman looked like!
"Yeah," Wen Jin nodded, "I'm a little worried."
Fengchun's eyes suddenly widened, "Yes, you are also worried about the Emperor and Miss Shu..."
"I'm worried that the emperor will be unfavorable to her." Wen Jin muttered.
Fengchun: "..."
She was so surprised that her jaw nearly dislocated.
The empress is not worried that the emperor will have some ambiguity with a woman who looks like Wei Yilan in her prime! Old feelings rekindled!
Instead, she was worried that the emperor would be unfavorable to her? !
The empress has such a big heart!
Fengchun pursed her lips and stopped talking.
Since the empress has not thought about it, those who serve around her cannot specifically cause trouble for the empress, right?
Fengchun decided to keep an eye on it personally for the empress!
If the momentum is not right, tell the empress in time so that the empress can be prepared!
I didn’t know if I didn’t pay attention to Fengchun, but I was shocked when I paid attention.
It turned out that the emperor transferred Shu Lan to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.
The reason given by the emperor was high-sounding, "I heard that the empress praised your notes very much? Did you order the female officials to circulate them for study?"
"It just so happens that during the interrogation by the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, the clerk who took the records was too busy. Please go over and help!"
When Fengchun heard about this, his eyes almost dropped with shock.
Let a woman go to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple to be the clerk who records the case trials?
Don't think that she doesn't know this when she's around the empress... Both the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple have the practice of torture!
Just looking at those instruments of torture makes one's hair stand on end with horror.
And the emperor also asked Shu Lan to record... When recording, he must be present throughout the process and watch the prisoner being tortured? !
Feng Chun can't help but feel chills running down his back just thinking about that scene.
And Shu Lan, a folk woman with a simple life experience, not only wants to watch, but also records truthfully while watching?
"Your Majesty, you are right?"
Fengchun was a little dazed, "Did the Emperor really deliberately torment Shulan?"
"But...why?"
Fengchun doesn’t understand…
But she didn't tell Wen Jin about it either.
Wen Jin learned about this from Que Ling's mouth.
"Your Majesty, several ministers from the Ministry of Punishment, as well as several chief judges from Dali Temple, have spoken highly of Ms. Shulan and want to ask her to give lessons to other secretaries of the Ministry."
Que Ling said with a smile, "Several ministers have said that there are so many talented people under my Majesty's hands!"
Wen Jin blinked, she knew that Que Ling definitely didn't mean to say this!
"but……"
See, what she really wants to say is often after the "but".
"The people who are interrogating below can no longer bear it anymore. They are complaining, and they are all complaining to me and Jiang Shuo." Que Ling chuckled, "They asked me to put in good words in front of the empress and bring back the female officer Shulan! If not, When they are transferred back, they will be exhausted!"
Wen Jin raised his eyebrows, "How do you say this? Shu Lan went to help, and is he tired of them?"
Que Ling chuckled, "Who says it's not the case? After I asked carefully, it turned out that this female officer Shulan was a 'workaholic'. After she went there, she urged the interrogators below to hurry up every day. She could record several people at the same time. The trial process was not chaotic at all!”
"After she went there, the interrogation progress of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple was more than twice as fast. She is extremely efficient, and she works continuously, as if she is not tired!"
"Many prisoners were stubborn and refused to respond at first, but she was like a 'stoking eagle' and couldn't bear it any longer!"
"But the interrogators can hardly bear it anymore! Shu Lan is there, making them all look like imbeciles. The pressure is too much!"
Wen Jin was surprised. Who wouldn't be surprised?
"No wonder people can take the Huiyuan exam, or even take the top prize. Are they not ordinary people at all?!" Que Ling shook his head and laughed.
Wen Jin's eyes flashed, "Send Shu Lan here, and I'll ask her... what does she want to do so hard?"
Xiao Yuchen sent a woman to do this kind of work, which was obviously to make things difficult for others.
But Shu Lan, not only did she not get into trouble, she actually acted in a lively and impressive manner, as if she was deliberately competing with Xiao Yuchen?
…
"Weijun Shulan, please see your empress!"
Shu Lan was wearing a light blue official uniform and looked much thinner than the last time we met.
But her eyes were bright, especially when she saw Wen Jin, her happiness filled her face.
She might have gone to change clothes and wash up before the audience. There was a faint scent of soap locust on her body, which was clean, refreshing and comfortable.
Wen Jin held her cheek with her hand and looked at Shu Lan suspiciously. She found that she could not understand Shu Lan more and more.
She originally thought that Shu Lan was similar to Wei Yilan...very purposeful, possessive, and competitive, and would do anything to achieve her goals.
But now it seems that they are two completely different people?
Wen Jin couldn't even see Shu Lan's purpose at all?
Wen Jin looked at Shu Lan calmly and asked with a smile, "I heard that you were transferred to assist Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment to record the interrogation process. Is it hard? Can your body still bear it?"
"Thank you for your concern, I can bear it." Shu Lan's eyes curled up, and her gratitude seemed to come from the bottom of her heart.
Wen Jin said, "I heard that you have been urging them to speed up the trial, even without sleep... Why do you push yourself so hard?"
Shulan blinked and whispered, "I am a seconded person from your Majesty's side. I cannot embarrass your Majesty."
Wen Jin raised his eyebrows, "But the emperor forced you?"
"No, no..." Shu Lan said quickly.
She quickly glanced at Wen Jin and whispered, "Wei Chen wants to come back soon... The emperor promised me that I can only come back after completing the records of at least six cases."
"I found that their trial speed is too slow. It may take several years to finish the six cases!"
When talking about several years, Shulan looked frustrated.
She initially thought that six cases were not many, so she agreed to the emperor's conditions.
But when she got involved, she discovered that the process of investigating the case was extremely long... She had been fooled by the emperor!
Wen Jin then became more suspicious...
"Don't you want to stay in the Ministry of Punishment or Dali Temple, but instead want to return to this palace and be a little secretary?"
"Yes!" Shu Lan said excitedly, "Can the empress bring me back?"
She looked up at Wen Jin, her eyes full of hopeful stars.
Wen Jin: "..."
If this wasn't a girl, she would suspect that this person had a crush on her!
Facing Shu Lan's intensely expectant gaze, Wen Jin said, "You will have better prospects in the former court."
Shu Lan immediately lowered his head in despair, "But Chen just wants to follow the empress..."
She was full of energy just now, but in the blink of an eye, even her straight shoulders slumped, and her whole body looked like an eggplant beaten by frost.
The palace attendants suddenly sang, "The Emperor has arrived——"
