After the rebirth, the empress took the tragic script of Meiqiang

Ye Qinghuai went straight to Wenxuan Hall after leaving the court.

After her announcement today, Lu Yanchen was no longer the master of Wenxuan Hall.

She had been a teacher and student with Lu Yanchen for two years, and spent most of her time in this Wenxuan Hall. Every time she walked into this Wenxuan Hall, a little warmth and nostalgia would rise in her heart.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to deal with it?" Li Baoquan, who was following behind, confirmed with her again.

Ye Qinghuai sighed softly and said: "Take care of it. Sir, you have resigned from the post of Imperial Master. Staying here will only cause trouble."

Li Baoquan responded and began to order his eunuchs to pack up Lu Yanchen's things.

Ye Qinghuai sat by the desk, watching them pack up the inkstones and paperweights he often used, as well as the books and notebooks he brought into the palace, and suddenly felt Lu Yanchen's departure.

In these pens, inks, paper and inkstones, there are traces of her being taught by him, bit by bit, hiding her deep or shallow thoughts.

The midday sun shines outside the door, the courtyard is quiet and peaceful, and Ye Qinghuai feels that his heart has calmed down.

She thought of the countless afternoons when Lu Yanchen taught her. Many times, they just sat quietly in a room, doing their own things at their desks, without saying a word.

Every time at that time, Ye Qinghuai thought in his heart, it would be great if days like this could continue forever.

But from today on, Lu Yanchen will never appear in this room again.

He is no longer her husband.

"Your Majesty, General Chu Dingguo would like to see you." Li Baoquan's voice brought Ye Qinghuai back from his thoughts.

"So anxious? We've all chased him here." Ye Qinghuai said, sat up straight and ordered, "Let him come in."

As soon as Chu Dingguo saw Ye Qinghuai, he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, you will finally betray your divine grace. Du Zhengen was taken away by the Ministry of Punishment."

Ye Qinghuai paused in her heart and asked, "What's going on?"

Chu Dingguo lowered his head in shame and said: "That day after Eunuch Li announced the decree, the general took Du Zhengen down. But he insisted that he did not know Concubine Lan and said that he thought she was a spy who had sneaked into the palace.

She pretended to be the cook and was interrogated by the right yamen guards on a routine basis. Because she refused to cooperate, she was accidentally killed during the interrogation."

"General Mo saw him talking nonsense, so he scared him twice, but he..." Chu Dingguo said, blushing angrily, "He said General Mo was abusing lynching and wanted to file a complaint with the Ministry of Punishment and request a fair trial. General Mo will

He was locked up well, no one came in or out except for the food delivery people, and I don’t know where the news about him came from. Early this morning, someone from the Ministry of Punishments came and took him away with official documents."

Ye Qinghuai frowned and asked, "How did you scare him?"

"I...I kicked him twice."

"Can you see the injury?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

"I didn't use much strength, but I'm sure there will be some bruises." Chu Dingguo thought.

Ye Qinghuai frowned, raised his forehead and said, "That's it."

She sighed softly and closed her eyes.

"Your Majesty, I swear to God that I never hurt him, let alone lynched him. What he did to Concubine Lan is considered a lynching!"

Ye Qinghuai raised his eyes, looked at him calmly, and asked: "I ask you, where was Concubine Lan punished?"

Chu Dingguo didn't seem to understand why Ye Qinghuai asked this. He was stunned for a moment and replied: "Shen Xing Division."

"Where did you 'scare' him?" Ye Qinghuai emphasized the word "scare".

"Secretary of You Yafu..." At this point, he seemed to have thought of something and his voice lowered.

"You Yamen Guards only have the power of custody, not torture. But the Sentence Department has it. As long as a person is tortured in the Sentence Department, it can be explained in any way. But in your Youya Mansion Department," Ye Qing

Huai changed the topic and her expression became as sharp as a knife. She sat up, got close to Chu Dingguo, looked directly at him and said, "Even if he loses a strand of hair, I can sue you for lynching. All you can do is ask questions."

, if he doesn’t answer, you can’t do anything.”

After saying that, she leaned back in her chair again, and the sharpness in her eyes dissipated in an instant.

"If the Punishment Department had been cruel, you would be in the Punishment Department's jail now."

Only then did Chu Dingguo suddenly realize, he cupped his fists and said: "This general is reckless, please punish me!"

Ye Qinghuai looked at him, slowly shook his head, and said: "I don't blame you, I was too hard on you."

She now had to agree with Gu Shihai's words about Chu Dingguo: He was brave, but not a general.

But right now, besides Chu Dingguo, who else does she trust and who can she use?

Ye Qinghuai calculated it in his mind.

There was silence between the two for a while, and Chu Dingguo hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, I have something that I don't understand."

"you say."

"Why did your majesty ask the general to worship Xu Liang? He followed others' influence, bullied the weak and feared the strong, and even brandished a knife at your majesty. A wicked man like him would not regret his death. What is there to worship?" Chu Dingguo said later, with a tone of voice.

Unspeakably angry.

Ye Qinghuai was so angry at his actions that she didn't want to speak, but when she looked up and saw his upright and square face, as well as his bright and direct eyes without any dodge, she suddenly felt no longer angry.

In today's imperial court, it is rare to have such an innocent heart that clearly expresses grudges and hates evil.

"Although you were dissatisfied, you still went." Ye Qinghuai said.

Chu Dingguo said nothing.

Ye Qinghuai asked again: "Didn't you meet anyone when you went to worship him?"

"General Mo met the guards of the right government office. They seemed to be following him, thinking that he was going to do something bad."

"Then what?"

"They didn't expect that the general would go to pay homage to Xu Liang, so they were surprised. So they went there for a few weeks to pay homage, chatted with the general for a while, and then went back together."

Ye Qinghuai nodded and said, "I sent someone to lead them there."

Chu Dingguo was so shocked that his eyes widened. After a long time, he asked in disbelief: "Why? Does Your Majesty think that evil people like Xu Liang are worthy of worship?"

"Of course not. He led people to change the palace, confused right and wrong, killed my people, and even scolded me for being stupid. I wish I could let him crush his bones and ashes." A chill flashed in Ye Qinghuai's eyes, but she quickly calmed down, "I

What is needed is not that you worship him, but that the guards of the right government see you worshiping him. In this way, the guards of the right government will feel that you, the new commander who fell from the sky, are not their enemy. In this way, you can be on the right government.

Stand firm in the Yaweili."

Chu Dingguo looked at Ye Qinghuai, his eyes still filled with surprise.

Ye Qinghuai could tell that he did not approve of this behavior.

"Chu Dingguo, I'm asking you, you always say they are evil people, so are you following me to be a good person?"

Chu Dingguo nodded.

"Then let me tell you, being a good person requires more than just passion. In this world, to be an evil person, you need to be fierce and cunning. To be a good person, you need to be more ferocious and cunning than the evil people."

After speaking, Ye Qinghuai showed a gentle smile to Chu Dingguo.

She has a beautiful smile, but her eyes are deeper than the ancient night sky and cannot be seen to the bottom.

Chu Dingguo suddenly felt that the emperor might be much more than sixteen years old.

He would believe it even if he said he was sixty years old.
