Upon seeing this, Assistant Minister Chen Mu felt that his plan was going very smoothly and immediately stood up:
"Your Majesty, put this traitor in jail!"
All the ministers supported:
"Your Majesty, please do not spare this traitor lightly!"
Yan Lichu was silent for a moment, looking at everyone in the hall, and finally his eyes fell on Yan Lingshan.
She knew in her heart that no matter whether Yan Lingshan was guilty or not, at this moment, she could no longer deny the suspicion in her heart.
Having lost the person he trusted the most, Yan Lichu's eyes showed disappointment and confusion.
He couldn't help but look at Su Ye.
At this time, perhaps the only person she could trust completely was Su Ye.
Su Ye nodded slightly to reassure her.
Hope rekindled in Yan Lichu's eyes:
"This matter has not yet been decided. I am determined to make the truth known to the world and give you an explanation."
"The suspect Yan Lingshan will be imprisoned in the sky prison first and awaits his punishment!"
Chen Mu could hardly hide the gloating in his eyes, lowered his head and said:
"Your Majesty is wise!"
After Yan Lingshan was taken away, the atmosphere in the court became extremely tense.
Yan Lichu sat on the dragon chair, with no emotion or anger on his face.
She knew in her heart that this incident was not a simple assassination.
I'm afraid there is a deeper political struggle involved behind the scenes.
Wu Feng stood in the court, feeling heavy about his revelation.
He knew very well that his duty was to maintain the tranquility of the country.
But as a result, he had to uncover the truth that Yan Lichu was most unwilling to face.
Yan Lichu took a deep breath and said:
"In this incident, I hope that all ministers will work together to find out the truth. If anyone dares to take this opportunity to cause trouble, he will be severely punished."
All the ministers knelt down and worshiped:
"Your Majesty is wise, and we will do our best until we die."
It’s just that it’s hard to think about how sincere there is in this promise.
Yan Lingshan is the most respected and trusted celebrity around Yan Lichu.
Her existence also blocked many ways for forces to win over and please the royal family.
This time she was taken to the prison, and I don't know how many people secretly rejoiced behind her back.
Yan Lichu naturally knew this. She silently observed everyone in the court, feeling isolated and helpless.
Fortunately, she still has Su Ye.
With the end of the court meeting, Yan Lichu returned to the inner palace and sat tiredly on the dragon chair.
Su Ye followed closely behind her and looked at her calmly.
Yan Lichu looked at the candlelight in the hall, thinking a lot. After a long time, she whispered:
"Su Ye, do you think Yan Lingshan will betray me?"
Su Ye knew the doubts in Yan Lichu's heart, and he said sincerely:
"Your Majesty, Yan Lingshan's loyalty and diligence to you over the years is obvious to all. She will never betray you. There must be a hidden agenda in this incident."
When Yan Lichu heard this, she felt slightly comforted. She looked at Su Ye and said with a smile:
"Su Ye, you are the person I trust most. I will leave this matter to you to investigate. You must find out the truth and give me an explanation."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will do my best to find out the truth."
Seeing the anxiety in Yan Lichu's eyes, Su Ye softened his heart for the first time and agreed.
For some reason, Yan Lichu and Yan Lingshan seemed to be very close and trusting.
It reminded him of Chu Muxue.
Once upon a time, Chu Muxue treated him as Yan Lichu treated Yan Lingshan today.
He is a comrade who can be trusted to support him, a person whom he trusts more than his family, and a close friend.
It's a pity that Chu Muxue gradually deviated from his original intention due to his growing desire for power.
But the fates were so similar. Chu Muxue betrayed Su Ye in the end, causing him to fall into endless pain.
Su Ye didn't want to see Yan Lichu suffer the same harm again.
He was determined to find out the truth and clear Yan Lingshan's name.
Just like him and Chu Muxue in another similar world, they would maintain their innocence and trust forever.
Su Ye silently made an oath in his heart to protect Yan Lichu and protect this trust.
He suddenly pulled away from his memories and solemnly asked Yan Lichu:
"Your Majesty, on that day you paid a private visit incognito. Who are the people who know your specific route?"
Yan Lichu thought for a moment and replied:
"In addition to me and Yan Lingshan, there are also several important officials such as Wu Feng and Chen Mu who know the route. However, Wu Feng and Chen Mu are responsible for protecting my safety. They should not leak the route to the assassins."
Su Ye's eyes flickered, thoughtfully:
"In that case, Your Majesty, please allow me to investigate this matter secretly."
Chen Mu and Wu Feng, one immediately threw out physical evidence, and the other immediately wanted to send Yan Lingshan to the sky jail.
He seemed to be impatient to end the matter as soon as possible to avoid long nights and endless dreams.
At least these two are quite suspicious.
Yan Lichu nodded:
"Go ahead and do it. I believe you will be able to find out the truth. However, remember not to alarm others, so as not to cause turmoil in the court."
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will act with caution." Su Ye accepted the order and left.
With Su Ye's departure, Yan Lichu's heart became heavier.
She understands that this incident is not only about Yan Lingshan's innocence, but also about whether the people she trusts are really loyal.
And she could only wait silently for the results brought by Su Ye.
As soon as Su Ye left the palace, he saw Chen Mu waiting at the palace gate.
As soon as he saw Su Ye coming out of the palace, he immediately went to greet him:
"Prime Minister Su, has your Majesty decided to take action against Yan Lingshan?"
Su Ye's eyes turned cold and he said calmly:
"Master Chen, this matter has not yet been clarified, how can we easily accuse Zhongliang unjustly?"
Wu Feng's eyes flickered and a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth:
"Prime Minister Su, you and I are colleagues, and I naturally hope to find out the truth. But you also know that this incident is not trivial and involves the emperor's safety. If a suspect like Yan Lingshan is allowed to remain with the emperor, I am afraid that... triggering a greater crisis."
Su Ye's eyes were as bright as a torch and he looked directly at Chen Mu:
"Master Chen, I will do my best to find out the truth and give an explanation to His Majesty."
Chen Mu's eyes changed slightly, as if he didn't expect Su Ye to be so unsociable.
A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth and he said:
"Prime Minister Su, I hope you can find out the truth and clear Yan Lingshan's innocence. Why don't we go to Dali Temple together?"
Su Ye immediately smelled an unusual smell.
Could it be said that Wu Feng from Dali Temple and Chen Mu colluded with each other?
He politely rejected Chen Mu's proposal:
"Master Chen has good intentions, but this matter of investigating the case is not the responsibility of the Assistant Minister."
Chen Mu's eyes flickered, obviously a little surprised by Su Ye's unceremonious rejection.
He smiled and said:
"Prime Minister Su is really cautious, so I will take the first step."
Su Ye smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Please, Mr. Chen."
Watching Chen Mu leave, a sneer flashed across Su Ye's face.
He knew in his heart that Chen Mu's move undoubtedly wanted to involve him in this political struggle.
to better control the situation.
However, how could he, Su Ye, be a chess piece that others could manipulate at will?
Dali Temple is not a must.
The most important thing in investigating a case is the crime scene.
