Chapter 43 Strange

New Year's Eve has just passed and the Lantern Festival is ushering in.

The winter in Yuezhi quietly recedes, the ice and snow melt, and spring sprouts.

There was a downturn in the Jinluan Palace.

"However, due to a mere flood, not only the local officials were lost, but even the imperial envoy sent there is missing."

"——Is this the answer you gave me?!"

Emperor Ming sat on the dragon chair and angrily threw the book in his hand.

He looked at Lin Gui, the Minister of Household Affairs in the hall, with deep eyes, and felt that his blood was rising!

A bunch of losers!

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I have sent additional manpower to find Mr. Zhang, but..."

Lin Gui stopped at the right time and became hesitant.

He looked at Emperor Ming's gloomy face and spoke cautiously: "I received a letter. Master Zhang disappeared together with the disaster relief funds. I don't know if it's... if it's..."

The ministers above the court looked at me and I looked at you, all trying to guess the meaning behind Lin Gui's words.

Emperor Ming glanced coldly and said in a deep voice: "Say!"

Lin Gui lowered his posture to a very low level. He hesitated for a while, and then said as if he were dead, "I am a humble minister, but I hope your majesty will forgive me!"

"Wei Chen's people came to report that the disaster relief funds and relief grains were not transported to East Antarctica at all, and Mr. Zhang... took the money and absconded!"

One stone stirs up a thousand waves!

Everyone's expressions suddenly changed.

"Impossible! It is absolutely impossible for Mr. Zhang to do such a disobedient thing that would destroy the nine tribes! Your Majesty, please tell me clearly!"

Some courtiers who were on good terms with Zhang Yan or knew Zhang Yan well retorted.

Emperor Ming frowned slightly and scanned the people in the hall with his sharp eyes.

"Oh? Mr. Xu is so sure, then tell me where Mr. Zhang Yan and the disaster relief food funds have gone?"

Lin Gui asked, biting Master Xu who was complaining about Zhang Yan.

"Does Mr. Lin have any evidence to prove that Mr. Zhang absconded with the money instead of encountering an accident?"

"The people of East Antarctica are fierce and fierce, and Mr. Zhang is a civil servant. It is impossible to say if he is persecuted by someone with ulterior motives."

"How could Mr. Lin be so arbitrary and easily convict Mr. Zhang!"

Mr. Xu argued vigorously.

"What Mr. Xu said makes sense, and we really can't make any hasty conclusions."

The courtiers who were watching listened to the debate between the two men and couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Lin Kuai's face darkened, and he was about to argue again when someone else in the hall said, "Master Xu! This is not the time to act out of emotion."

"Since you said that the people of East Antarctica are fierce and tough, Mr. Zhang may encounter misfortune. Do you dare to ask, with the troops under General Xuanwei accompanying him, who would dare to make a mistake?"

"And why, with so many people accompanying him, only Mr. Zhang and his personal guards disappeared together! How to explain this?"

Lin Gui glanced at him and lowered his voice.

"This..." Mr. Xu was speechless for a moment.

Yue Jue stood directly in front, listening to the speeches of several people, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Zhang Yan was an upright official. If he wanted to embezzle the disaster relief food funds from Mo, he would never be so hasty.

This amount of money and food is not small, but it is not worth ruining one's official career.

As long as he is an official in the court, he will have endless opportunities. Why take such risks? It is not worth it for a mere hundred thousand taels of silver.

There must be something fishy about this!

"Yue Jing, what do you think?" Emperor Ming, who had been silent for a long time while sitting on the dragon chair, suddenly spoke up.

Yue Jing paused slightly, and even Lin Gui glanced at Emperor Ming in surprise.

Your Majesty, doesn't he always value the prince's opinion the most? When will he want to hear the third prince's opinion?

Lin Bi calmly glanced at Yue Jing in the front and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I think there are still doubts about this matter and we should not make any hasty judgments."

"The top priority is to find the missing Mr. Zhang and the food for disaster relief as soon as possible and appease the people in the disaster area."

Yue Jing bowed and said loudly.

Yue Jue looked at Yue Jing, met his gaze, and nodded appreciatively with the corners of his lips slightly curved.

Once upon a time, Yue Jing, who was running behind him, was already so big.

Yue Jing looked at the light in Yue Jue's eyes, her palms suddenly tightened, and he lowered his eyelids to see clearly.

Yue Lin looked at the two brothers and sisters, then glanced at Yue Jing, with a contemptuous curl of his lips.

What a fox.

Emperor Ming remained silent after hearing Yue Jing's answer. His dark eyes were as deep as ink, and no one knew what he was thinking.

He then asked, "What do you think, Prince?"

"My son agrees with Yue Jing's statement. Regardless of whether Mr. Zhang is guilty or not, the top priority is to provide disaster relief first."

"After we find Mr. Zhang, the truth of the matter will be revealed."

Yue Jue bowed and bowed. East Antarctica has been flooded for more than half a month. Now Mr. Zhang is missing and the local officials are nowhere to be seen. The situation in the disaster-stricken areas without food is extremely bad. If it continues, there may be future troubles.

Emperor Ming nodded slightly, his sharp black eyes looked at the humerus minister in the hall, and his fingertips tapped the moon-white dragon robe:

"Zhang Yan is missing, and his money and food are nowhere to be found. These can be found slowly, but the people of East Antarctica are in dire straits and they cannot afford to wait."

"So, who do you think is appropriate to send now?"

The noisy court fell silent instantly, and the Jinluan Hall, where the discussion had been intense just now, fell silent.

It's very unusual for two adults to disappear one after another.

Even if you want to be greedy for merit, you still have to see if you can get your life back.

Emperor Ming's eyes searched and looked at everyone, and Yue Jue's move to take a step forward was stopped by his eyes.

Yue Jue was puzzled, but still endured her doubts.

My father always has deep meaning in what he does.

"Who do you think Lin Aiqing should let go?" Emperor Ming looked at Lin Gui, who had his head buried as low as possible, and asked quietly.

Lin Kuai's eyes moved slightly, and he lowered his head: "I am willing to share the emperor's worries."

Emperor Ming looked deeply at Lin Gui, and the air became strangely quiet.

The ministers lowered their eyebrows, did not dare to raise their heads, and even breathed softly.

Just when everyone thought they were about to suffocate and die.

"There is no need for you to go to Dongjizhou. Lin Aiqing is inseparable from the court." Emperor Ming raised his eyelids and said softly.

Lin Kuai's lowered eyes flashed slightly, and he tried again: "Your Majesty, minister..."

Before Lin Gui finished speaking, Emperor Ming interrupted and glanced at Yue Jing, who was silent.

She seemed to ask casually: "Yue Jing, would you like to go?"

Yue Jue looked at Emperor Ming sharply.

Anle Hall.

Yan Qi sat in front of the bronze mirror, stroking her eyebrows, waiting for Yue Jue to pick her up.

A few days ago, Yue Jue said that he would take her out of the palace to watch the Lantern Festival lanterns today.

She had been looking forward to it for a long time.

Canglan's medicine is becoming more and more effective.

Whenever she gets sick, she only needs to take Canglan's medicine to survive the bone-breaking pain ahead.

You don't need to drink Jiang Qi's blood to survive the poisonous attack.

Therefore, she is in good spirits.

Wen Mo said that if she couldn't get Jiang Qi's blood, her condition would relapse.

It can be seen that he is talking nonsense, which is still far behind Canglan's medical skills.

She just took Canglan's medicine, wouldn't it be fine?

After Yan Qi had finished cleaning up, she sat by the window and ate pastries. She found that she couldn't get tired of the rose cakes sent from the imperial kitchen.

Suddenly, a moon-white figure burst into view.

Yan Qi's eyes suddenly brightened like stars.

"Brother Royal!"

Yue Jue heard the voice and looked over. Seeing Yue Huan's smiling face, Yue Jue's frowning eyebrows relaxed.

Yan Qi hurriedly ran to the door to greet Yue Jue. She delicately took Yue Jue's hand and shook it, unaware of his absent-minded look.

"Brother Imperial, are you leaving now?"
