What kind of bad thoughts can the queen have?

On the right is the Prime Minister's Mansion, the study room.

Prime Minister You was dressed in black casual clothes, standing behind the desk, holding a writing brush, and was waving.

Today is a big day for Prime Minister You's family, and the Li family is finally welcoming their first grandson.

Prime Minister You was so happy and excited that he asked for a day off, just to wait for his grandson to be born.

Dong dong dong~ There was a crisp knock on the door.

Prime Minister You paused at the tip of his pen, thinking that someone had come to report the birth of his grandson, his heart was filled with joy, and he wished he could go out immediately to have a look at his grandson.On the surface, Prime Minister You continued to wave his brush and said calmly, "Go in."

The door of the study opened, and the housekeeper from the mansion walked in.

The housekeeper saluted respectfully and said: "Report to the prime minister, and the prime minister, Yushi Zhongcheng, asked to see him, saying that he has something important to report to the prime minister."

"What's the matter?"

"King Qin was assassinated."

"what?"

Prime Minister You was shocked, he raised his head suddenly, and tapped the brush in his hand on the paper, and the thick ink quickly smudged on the paper.

"When did it happen? Where is he now?"

"In the hall."

Prime Minister You put down his brush and hurried to the hall.

In the hall, censor Zhongcheng Fangshan in his 50s was sitting on a guest chair, drinking hot tea served by his servants.Hearing the movement in the inner hall, Fang Shan stood up, and when Prime Minister You walked out, he immediately cupped his hands and saluted.

"Prime Minister You, something serious happened."

Prime Minister You asked straight to the point: "King Qin was really assassinated? When did it happen? How did you know?"

"Returning to Prime Minister, King Qin and His Majesty went to the Yaoshan camp yesterday to see off the soldiers. When King Qin was speaking, an ordinary soldier present suddenly attacked King Qin with a sleeve arrow."

Prime Minister You asked again, "Where did the news come from?"

"It was spread last night. After I heard about it, I sent someone to check it out, and it was confirmed to be true," Fang Shan said. "According to reliable news, King Qin was seriously injured, and it may happen at any time..."

Prime Minister You frowned and said, "What's the situation at Yaoshan Daying Camp?"

"After King Qin was attacked, King Qin determined the matter on the spot and told the soldiers present that it was the Huns. Early this morning, Prime Minister Zuo beheaded the assassin's sacrificial flag and led the army to march."

Fang Shan said: "Your Majesty and the King of Qin are still in the Yaoshan camp. Everything in Liyang City remains the same, and there is no transfer at present."

Prime Minister You asked, "How did Marquis Changyang react?"

"It's not clear yet," Fang Shan said, "Is it possible that this matter is the Marquis of Changyang..."

That's fine... Prime Minister You sighed secretly.He didn't think Chang Yanghou would be so stupid.

"Prime Minister, we now..."

Prime Minister You glanced at Fang Shan and said, "I know about this, is there anything else?"

Fang Shan was puzzled and said, "Prime Minister, what are we not doing? Shan thought King Qin was assassinated, so we..."

Prime Minister You interrupted: "Prime Minister Zhong has nothing else to do, please go back. The Prime Minister has something else to do, so I'm sorry to accompany you."

Fang Shan looked at Prime Minister You hesitantly, and resigned helplessly.

Prime Minister You looked at Fang Shan's leaving back, sat still with a gloomy expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

After an unknown amount of time, Prime Minister You was interrupted by the cry of the baby.Prime Minister You looked at Li Yun, the eldest son who was walking quickly with a smile on his face, holding his grandson, showing his signature Maitreya smile.

"Father, it's a boy." Li Yunren was still outside the hall, and started to shout.

"Okay, okay," Prime Minister You took the grandson and hugged him cheerfully, to see who the grandson looked like.

Li Yun watched for a while, then bowed his hands and said, "Please also give me a name from my father."

Prime Minister You obviously thought of his grandson's name long ago, and said, "Mo."

"From today onwards, your name will be Li Mo. Mo'er..."

Prime Minister You teased the child for a while, then handed the child to the nanny beside him, and signaled him to take the child and leave.

Li Yun was about to follow, when Prime Minister You called to stop Li Yun and said, "Yun, you stay here, I have something to tell you about my father."

Seeing his father's solemn expression, Li Yun couldn't help being a little puzzled: "Father, what happened?"

"Have you...have you been in touch with King Qin in recent years?"

Li Yun paused for two seconds, then said, "No, why did Dad say this all of a sudden?"

"Have you...had you ever hated your father? If it wasn't for your father's ignorance, with your friendship and talents with the King of Qin, not to mention that you can be named a Marquis like Zhang Ping, at least you have a chance to be among the nine ministers."

Li Yun said solemnly: "The King of Qin is going to attack our family?"

"King Qin was assassinated."

"What?" Li Yun asked in surprise, "When did it happen?"

"Yesterday, King Qin was speaking in the school grounds, and a soldier in the audience attacked King Qin with a sleeve arrow."

"Are you worried that King Qin and His Majesty will take the opportunity to attack?"

"When the incident happened, the King of Qin identified it as the work of the Huns, and the army also set off this morning," Prime Minister You asked, "Do you know what this means?

"It means that His Majesty no longer cares about the mastermind behind the scenes, and wants to treat all the hostile people as the mastermind behind the scenes," Li Yun asked in a deep voice, "Father, what have you or those people done in recent days?"

Prime Minister You shook his head slightly: "Father knows that His Majesty has been waiting for us to make a move, so how could it be so?"

"Father told you this to make you prepare. If King Qin is fine, everything may turn around. At that time, you go to King Qin and report me. King Qin is very affectionate. With the friendship between you and King Qin, you may be able to stay family."

"Your Majesty has always been kind, and now he may just be angry..."

"Before King Qin came back, His Majesty killed a group of court ladies for King Qin. Some of the court ladies were spies, and some were innocent."

Prime Minister You said: "Your Majesty is usually very kind, but when King Qin is involved, His Majesty will become very extreme, especially after the death of King Qin...Your Majesty won't care so much."

Li Yun frowned and thought: "If we can catch the mastermind..."

"Didn't I just say that His Majesty doesn't care who is behind the scenes," Prime Minister You said, "King Qin attributed the matter to the Huns, or it was purely for the purpose of not affecting the army's expedition, but His Majesty and Prime Minister Zuo obviously don't think so."

"Since the return of King Qin, His Majesty has always wanted to do this, otherwise she would not have killed the palace maids and cleared the spies in the palace regardless of injustice, and deliberately made us think that the current King Qin is fake."

Prime Minister You said: "It is King Qin who intends to stop His Majesty, otherwise King Qin would not suddenly appear that day."

Li Yun said: "What I mean is to find out who is behind the scenes and hand him over to King Qin."

Prime Minister You was silent for a long time, and said, "If the mastermind is behind the scenes, who is it?"

"Who?"

Li Yun had just finished asking, when he suddenly realized what his father was referring to, his expression changed drastically, and he subconsciously said, "Father, you mean...it's impossible, isn't he being...how can it be done?"

Prime Minister You didn't answer, and said, "I won't talk about this anymore. Dad told you this to prepare you. I hope King Qin is fine, otherwise you too... Go, be happy, today is a good day."

……

……

Changyang Marquis Mansion, hall.

Marquis Changyang, in disheveled clothes, hugged the two beautiful concubines, who had leaked out of their spring, accompanied by the melodious music, admiring the graceful dance of the maids, and happily drinking the small wine that the concubines fed mouth to mouth, so happy.

At this moment, Marquis Changyang saw the servants in the mansion, and walked in quickly with Zhao Ji, his nephew whom he relied on the most.Zhao Ji smiled all over his face, and it seemed that something good had happened.

"Uncle, it's a good thing, it's a great thing, it's true that the heavens are on our side this time."

Marquis Changyang ate a grape fed by his concubine, fixed his eyes on the enchanting figure of the head maid, and asked casually: "What makes you so happy?"

"King Qin was assassinated."

Chang Yanghou coughed violently, his eyes were bigger than a bull's.

"You...cough cough, what did you say?"

"King Qin was assassinated, just yesterday when King Qin and His Majesty saw off Prime Minister Zuo and others."

"really?"

"It's absolutely true. The outside world has already spread the word. It is said that King Qin was seriously injured, his stomach was pierced, and he may die at any time."

"Hahaha, okay, this scourge is finally going to die, and God helped me," Changyanghou laughed, "Ji, sit down," Changyanghou said to the housekeeper next to him, "go and call the others Come, such a good thing is worth drinking."

"uncle……"

Zhao Ji looked at the beautiful concubine next to Changyang Hou hesitantly.

"You go down first."

After the concubines, musicians and maids left, Zhao Ji immediately said: "After this incident, His Majesty will clean the Yaoshan Camp, and we can take this opportunity to get rid of Zhang Ping, Zuo Shu and others.

Once Zhang Ping and Zuo Shu are eliminated, the rest of the people will be panicked. We will come forward to win them over... At that time, no matter whether King Qin is dead or not, His Majesty and King Qin will be toothless tigers, and they will not be at our mercy. "

Chang Yanghou's eyes lit up, he laughed and said, "Cai, Jizhen is the tomb tiger of my Zhao family."

Zhao Ji smiled modestly: "Uncle praised me absurdly. My nephew just said what uncle thought in his heart first. It's good that uncle doesn't blame me. How can he deserve such praise from uncle."

Chang Yanghou said with a smile: "You, everything is fine, but you are too modest."

"It's up to you to handle this matter," Marquis Changyang instructed, "But don't act rashly for now, it depends on the situation."

"promise."

……

……

Three days later.

Guangyang Palace, Qiming Palace.

Shi Zhong, dressed in a neutral black robe and with a man's hair bun, is reporting the results of the three-day investigation to Liu Shanqing.

"At present, it can be confirmed that this matter has nothing to do with Prime Minister You, Marquis Changyang and others. After they knew that King Qin was assassinated..."

Liu Shanqing interrupted: "I don't care whether they are related to this matter, what I want is evidence."

Shi Zhong was taken aback for a moment, cupped his hands and said, "I...understood."

"I'll give you another two days. After two days, I'll see what I want to see on my desk."

"promise."

Shi Zhong hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, King Qin..."

"King Qin is seriously injured and needs to recuperate now, so I don't need to bother him with such trivial matters."

"I... understand, I want to say, can I go and see King Qin?"

Liu Shanqing looked at Shi Zhong for a few seconds, then nodded slightly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

Liu Shanqing picked up a memorial-style text and asked, "Is Tingwei here?"

"Return to Your Majesty, here we are, waiting outside."

As soon as Yu'er finished speaking, Ting Wei, who was around 30 years old with a mustache, walked in.

"I see you, Your Majesty."

Liu Shanqing said straight to the point: "How did you investigate the assassination of King Qin?"

"The minister is incompetent. There has been no progress yet. Please forgive me."

Liu Shanqing looked at Ting Wei indifferently, and handed the memorial-like text to Yu'er.

After Yu'er took it with both hands, she immediately walked towards Tingwei.

Liu Shanqing said: "I know you won't be able to find out, so you don't need to check anymore, I have already checked for you. According to the list, arrest people."

Ting Wei said "No", took the list in Yu'er's hands with both hands, opened it, and his face changed drastically.

"This... Your Majesty..."

Liu Shanqing glanced at Tingwei.

Ting Wei looked very anxious.He said: "Your Majesty, is this... list wrong? How could Prime Minister You be related to the assassination of King Qin? It is absolutely impossible for him to assassinate King Qin."

"Oh? How did Wei Ting assert that Prime Minister You would not assassinate the King of Qin? Is there any evidence?"

"But there is no evidence to prove that this case is related to Prime Minister You."

"I will give you the evidence you want in two days, so let's do it first."

Ting Wei cupped his hands and said: "Without evidence, I will not be able to follow orders."

Liu Shanqing slapped the table violently: "Bold, you have to disobey!"

Ting Wei said calmly, "I'm just following the law."

"It's a good one to act according to the law," Liu Shanqing roared, "Come here."

The female guard guarding the door immediately walked in and bowed her hands.

Liu Shanqing stared at Tingwei and said: "Tingwei Zhangge resisted the order and disrespected, and shielded the suspect. Now he will be removed from the post of Tingwei and sent to Tingwei's prison."

"No," the female guard immediately stepped forward and escorted Wei Ting away.

Liu Shanqing looked at Ting Wei who was still stubborn after being dragged away, and said, "Yu'er."

"The servant is here."

"Currently, you are acting as Tingwei, and you specialize in the assassination case of the King of Qin. You can dispatch the First Battalion of Xuncheng, but those who disobey and resist will be punished."

"promise."

"I will give you three days, within three days, I will see the result."

"promise."

"Go."

Yu'er saluted and walked out immediately.

For a while, only Liu Shanqing was left in the huge Chengming Palace.

The sun was shining brightly outside the hall, but it was inexplicably cold inside.Liu Shanqing sat on the high hall, looking at the spots of light leaking in from the windows on the ground, there was a feeling of depression in the hall.

Liu Shanqing knew what kind of impact and consequences she would have if she did so. Shi Ran might stop her if she knew about it, and didn't understand her, but Liu Shanqing didn't care.

As long as Shi Ran is safe and sound, nothing else matters.

Liu Shanqing didn't want to lose Shi Ran again.

……

……

Qiming Hall, side hall.

When Shi Zhong walked in, Shi Ran was lying on the couch joking with Mrs. An Yue.

Mrs. An Yue looked haggard, her eyes were a little red and swollen.

Two days ago, when Mrs. An Yue heard the news of Shi Ran's assassination, she almost fainted on the spot.Afterwards, Mrs. An Yue hurried to Yaoshan camp, and seeing that Shi Ran was awake, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Yesterday, when Shi Ran returned to the palace, Mrs. An Yue was worried about Shi Ran, so she followed her in.

Right now, Mrs. An Yue complained to Shi Ran again that Shi Yuan was not a thing, and his son was injured, and he went out to fight.

It's not that Mrs. An Yue doesn't understand the truth, but if she understands it, it doesn't delay her complaining that Shi Yuan is not a thing.

"Brother, are you feeling better?" Shi Zhong asked.

Although the back of Shi Ran's head still hurts like it's about to explode, and his stomach hurts even when he eats, drinks and talks, but now Shi Ran deliberately said nonchalantly:

"It's much better. It's just a small injury. You all made me feel like I was going to die."

Mrs. An Yue scolded displeasedly: "What nonsense, can you say such nonsense?"

Sitting on the side of the couch, Shi Zhong said with a smile: "I'm not worried about you, how thick your skin is, how can an arrow with a broken sleeve hurt you."

"It's okay if you don't worry, why are you sitting next to my head and pointing your ass at me? Are you trying to kill me with a fart?"

"I don't dare, if I kill you with a fart, His Majesty will not spare me."

Shi Ran raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What is Shanqing doing?"

"It's nothing, I'm just investigating the real culprit behind the assassination of you, and it has been found out now."

Mrs. An Yue hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"

"Just those people, who else could it be?" Shi Zhong said, "Mother Shi, brother, don't worry, His Majesty has already sent people to arrest all those people."

Shi Ran suddenly covered his nose, and shouted: "It stinks, Shi Zhong, you really want to kill me."

"Nonsense, I didn't, don't push me on the head, it's obviously you... vomit~"

"It's you, I heard it all."

"It's you, it's you!"
