Zhamu Hager couldn't figure out the purpose of Qingyun's question. After all, Princess Jiayi was smart as ice and snow. If he answered wrongly and was bypassed by Princess Jiayi, he would be in doom. So he quietly raised his head and looked at someone in the crowd. , he never thought that Mo Xuan and Chu Yunyi, whether intentionally or unintentionally, blocked his sight, and he couldn't see the person's reminder at all, and he suddenly became anxious.

"What? Is this question difficult to answer?" Qingyun looked at Jamuhage, her eyes as clear as frost and snow.

There was a cold voice in the indifference, and it hit Jamuhage's heart like a heavy hammer. His whole body trembled obviously. He thought that now that things have come to this, he might as well take a gamble. If he wins, he and his family will be able to save their lives. , so he thought: "The relationship between the guilty minister and the prime minister is not good or bad."

"Have you ever met each other in private during all these years of serving as officials in the same dynasty? How many times have you met?"

"I've never seen him alone."

"Do you have similar political views or are they at odds with each other?"

"The guilty minister is deeply favored by the emperor, but the prime minister is ambitious..."

"You only need to answer whether it is consistent or inconsistent?"

"Contradictory."

"There were grievances in the past?"

"No."

"Have you had any grudges recently?"

Hearing that the questions and answers between the two people had nothing to do with the incident, Shuolun could no longer hold his breath and said loudly: "The facts are already before our eyes. It was the Prime Minister who ordered Jamuhage and Temur to destroy the ceremony and frame the emperor. They will Just behead her in public and implicate the nine clans, so what else is Princess Jiayi talking to them about?"

Except for some people who were very thoughtful, the rest of the people were also confused and even talked in low voices.

Being able to sit on the post of prime minister, Tang Hesi's mind is much deeper and more transparent than ordinary people. After a little reflection, he seemed to understand the meaning of Qingyun's words.

"Quiet!" Wu Yun raised his eyebrows and said, "Princess Jiayi asked this question. Of course, Princess Jiayi has the right to ask. No one is allowed to comment."

Qingmu glanced at Shuolun, and Qingyun said calmly: "I heard from the emperor that although the prime minister and the minister are responsible for the ceremony, the general is responsible for maintaining order and security during the ceremony. Now the thief is under the general's control. If someone commits evil crimes right under his nose, should the general be held responsible for dereliction of duty? In this case, should the general prevent me from finding out the truth?"

"I..." Shuolun's expression froze and he was immediately speechless.

He was only thinking about waiting for an opportunity to eliminate the prime minister, his political enemy, but he forgot that this matter was also related to him. No matter who was behind the scenes, he could not escape the blame.

Seeing Shuolun's changing expression, Qingyun shook her head almost invisible.

She has always respected the military generals who protect her family and country, but a general like Shuolun, who has experienced countless bloody battles on the battlefield, is so impatient, shallow, arrogant and domineering. He cannot be compared with Situ Jingyu, who is calm and reserved, and has a relaxed manner. What's more, Situ Jingyu is more than 20 years younger than him, which is really disappointing.

If he is allowed to continue like this, sooner or later Wu Yun's throne, wealth and life will be endangered.

What Qingyun didn't know was that Situ Jingyu was so outstanding not only because of his father's influence since childhood and his own nature, but also because he loved Qingyun deeply, so he worked hard to improve his qualities and abilities, hoping to support her. She has a peaceful and peaceful sky, and is qualified to overlook the world side by side with her.

Wuyun seemed to be aware of this, and looked at Shuolun with a deep and cold look.

No longer willing to look at Shuolun, Qingyun looked directly at Jamuhage and said majestically: "Please continue to answer my questions."

"The guilty minister and the prime minister have no enmity these days."

"When did the Prime Minister enter the Shangshu Mansion last night?"

"About midnight."

"When the Prime Minister arrived at Shangshu Mansion, was he alone? Or was he accompanied by other people?"

"The Prime Minister is alone."

"What about the guards at Shangshu Mansion?"

"good."

"Is there a watchman at night?"

"have."

"Then did the night watchman see the Prime Minister entering the Shangshu Mansion?"

"The Prime Minister is secretly..." Jamuhage wanted to explain, but when he saw Qingyun's cold and deep eyes, he could only reply truthfully: "I never saw it."

"So as far as the minister knows, can the prime minister know martial arts?"

"Won't."

"Very good." Qingyun's eyes and brows contained a clear and majestic look, and a ghostly sneer raised at the corner of his lips: "A person who doesn't know martial arts entered the Shangshu Mansion alone in the middle of the night, which was well-guarded, but there were no night watchmen. See, who among the people here without martial arts can do it?"

Qing Yun glanced at the crowd and saw that everyone was shaking their heads. Qingyun looked back at Jamuhage and said solemnly: "Then Master Shangshu, can you do it?"

"Sin, sinner..."

"Also, even if you and your family are not together, they should not be far away. As long as you call loudly, I believe they will hear it and come quickly. Even if you are afraid of the Prime Minister's power, it is already a crime for the Prime Minister to break into the Shangshu Mansion at night. If you are guilty, you can control the Prime Minister and then report it to the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor for a decision, or do you mean that the entire Shangshu Mansion cannot control the Prime Minister alone?"

Jamuhage's face turned pale, his lips moved but he didn't know how to answer.

Without waiting for him to say anything, Qingyun then said calmly: "Although the Prime Minister and your political views are contrary to each other, you have no enmity in the past and no enmity in the recent past. Why does the Prime Minister force you to plot such a treasonous and unethical thing? Even if you are responsible for presiding over the ceremony, But the Prime Minister also has the responsibility of supervision. Doesn’t the Prime Minister know that once something happens during the ceremony, the Prime Minister also has an unshirkable responsibility?

The most important thing is that you said that your relationship with the Prime Minister is good or bad, and you have never met in private. How could the Prime Minister frame the Emperor by destroying the ceremony, and also support a young child with no royal blood to ascend the throne? So I can tell you all the top-secret things like monopolizing the imperial court?

You know, this is a heinous crime. Isn't the Prime Minister afraid? If you report to the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor secretly, the Prime Minister will undoubtedly die. Will the nine tribes be implicated? If it were the Lord Shangshu, would you be so stupid?"

Facing Qingyun's repeated questioning, Jamuhage was speechless. He collapsed on the ground as if all his energy had been drained. His pale and colorless face was full of decadence and despair, and he was sweating heavily on his forehead. , there is only one thought in my mind: It’s over, everything is over!

Only then did everyone suddenly realize that the eyes they looked at Jamuhage were full of anger and condemnation.

Tang Hesi breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at Qingyun with gratitude.

Unexpectedly, Princess Jiayi could be so smart and attentive at such a young age. Just from Zhamuhage's words, she realized that there was a problem and hit the nail on the head. It was a shame that he had wasted many years as an official.

"Tell me, who actually instructed you to destroy the ceremony and frame me, and finally framed the prime minister?"

The beautiful face of the dark cloud is as cold as snow, and the deep gaze is like a cold arrow containing viciousness, shooting straight at Jamuhage, and a faint coldness bursts out from the whole body, making everyone shudder.

Looking up in a certain direction, Jamuhage bit his lip and said, "Yes, yes..."

Everyone felt a white light flash in front of their eyes, and then they saw Jamuhage lying straight on the ground, a sharp arrow deeply piercing his heart, the white feathers at the end of the arrow fluttering in the wind, and the gurgling blood stained him red Wearing a purple official uniform, his round eyes were full of fear and unwillingness, and he seemed to be unwilling to rest in peace.

"There are assassins escorting you!"

Following a high-pitched scream, Shuolun and others and the imperial army hurriedly protected the Supreme Emperor, the Empress Dowager and Wu Yun, while the rest were frightened and panicked.

Chu Yunyi protected Qing Yun with a high degree of vigilance, while Qing Yun made a special gesture towards An Shi in the shadow without revealing any trace.

And Mo Xuan quickly walked to Zhamuhage, squatted down, and quickly tapped several acupuncture points on Zhamuhage's body out of sight of everyone, then took out a pill and forced it into his mouth. Gong helped him swallow it, and finally stood up, shaking his head: "Kill with one arrow!"

"General, please immediately lead your troops to arrest the traitors who committed crimes. Don't let any of them go!" Wu Yun ordered sternly.

"I obey the order!" Shuolun immediately led a part of the imperial army to follow the order.

Looking at the dead Jamuhage, Wu Yun's eyes and brows were filled with ruthlessness and cruelty as sharp as a knife blade: "Come here, take the bodies of Jamuhage and Temur..." Suddenly Hearing Qingyun cough slightly, Wuyun glanced sideways. Seeing Qingyun's meaningful eyes, he couldn't help but think: "Take the bodies of Jamuhage and Temur to the cold palace. Everyone in the Shangshu Mansion and Temur Mu'er's family members will all be thrown into the sky prison. After the truth comes out, I will make the decision myself! As for the Prime Minister"

Looking at the frightened Tang Hesi, Wu Yun said solemnly: "The matter has not yet been clarified, and the Prime Minister is still suspected. He will be immediately taken to the prison. No one is allowed to visit without my order! Everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion cannot wait until he leaves the house." step!"

As soon as the words fell, four forbidden soldiers stepped forward and carried the bodies of Jamuhage and Temur away.

And Tang Hesi walked up to Qingyun, knelt down and bowed: "I would like to thank Princess Jiayi for saving her life!" If it weren't for Princess Jiayi, I'm afraid he would be dead by now, as would the whole family of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Death penalty is inevitable.

"Thunder, rain, and dew are all the emperor's favor! As a minister, you should abide by your duties and never have any thoughts that you shouldn't have, otherwise you will incur the wrath of heaven and people!" Qingyun raised her hand to signal Tang Hesi to stand up, and said meaningfully: "At the same time, you must also know how to behave in the world. Otherwise, you will be framed for nothing, and no one will defend you and complain at the critical moment. The Prime Minister said, right?"

Tang Hesi looked ashamed and frightened.

Princess Jiayi is extremely intelligent, so she must have sensed something to specifically say these words to him, right?

However, what Princess Jiayi said makes sense. It is the duty of a minister to eat the emperor's salary and be loyal to the emperor, but he had some thoughts that he shouldn't have.

Thinking about the time when he was wronged before, no one defended and appealed for him, and even made trouble for him. It seems that he should really learn how to behave, otherwise he will not be so lucky next time.
