Chapter 699

"And you, as the Lord of the East chamber, what are your subordinates doing? There are so many people, but you didn't find it. Fortunately, Miss Xi reacted quickly and had martial arts skills to save the princess of the western regions. Otherwise, in case the princess of the western regions was injured or even died, who can afford it? Not to mention whether the western regions will fight with us, the common people will have a grudge against the imperial court. How can the country prosper for a long time, Will our country not perish? Mu Yun Li ignores the Minister of rites who is kneeling and turns the gun to Huo Yanchen immediately.

"I'm guilty. Please punish me." Huo Yanchen has nothing to explain. After all, something happened under his own eyes. It's understandable for the emperor to blame him.

"You..." Muyun gave himself Shun Xia Qi and sat down“ You are responsible for finding out who the assassin is today. If you can't find out, you don't have to stay in this seat. "

"I will comply with the order." Huo Yanchen and the Minister of rites answered, retreating to one side.

"Emperor, today, the young lady of the Xi family has made great contributions to saving people. May I reward her?" Xiao linyao came out to report. Maybe xiyue'er thought that she had offered her some rewards to let xunher go.

"Naturally, it's up to you to reward the Secretary of the Ministry of rites. Take some pairs of jewelry and some fine silk from the Treasury to miss Xi. By the way, put the construction of the princess's mansion on the agenda." Mu Yun thought for a moment, and said in a loud voice.

"That's not right." several ministers looked at each other. Although the princess really should have a princess's mansion, it should be built when she was 13 years old. Yueer was only 10 years old that night. It's not right to build it now.

"Xiyue'er has made a great contribution this time. She is my niece. She can't be granted an official title, and she already has a title. I can't think of any other reward except the princess's office." Muyun doesn't know it's too early to build the princess's mansion at this time, but there's no other way.

"This..." the ministers looked at each other and nodded.

"That's the decision. Minister of rites, you must take care of it." Mu Yun exhorts.

"The minister should do his best" to salute the Minister of rites.

"Let's all go back. I have to deal with the government affairs." Mu Yun waves his hand and asks everyone to step down.

"Yes" all the ministers retired and left Muyun to deal with the affairs in the palace.

Yue'er Pavilion, Xi yue'er takes off her gorgeous clothes and changes her plain makeup. She sits on the soft couch and looks at the message from the dark guard. She had asked to make a special investigation on Si Xun before, and she found out something fishy.

From the foundation of Yumo kingdom to the present, the position of Temple of heaven priest has always existed, mainly in charge of the royal temple of heaven and planning all kinds of important events such as offering sacrifices to heaven and Empress Dowager.

The priests in the temple of heaven are very mysterious. It is said that every generation of priests has excellent martial arts skills and first-class appearance. It is said that Si Quan, the first generation of priest, figured out the defensive loopholes of the previous dynasty and helped the emperor ascend the throne. He was once the prime minister, but he suddenly proposed to guard the temple of heaven. The late emperor could not help praying for the permission of Si Quan. Since then, the family has been guarding the temple of heaven from generation to generation.

However, there seems to be something wrong with the generation of Si Xun. Before Si Xun took over the temple of heaven, he disappeared for a period of time. During this period, the last priest died inexplicably, and the temple of heaven was closed for a period of time. Not long after Mu Yun succeeded to the throne, Si Xun appeared in the imperial palace with his family's jade pendant. Mu Yun was forced by public opinion to appoint him as a new generation of priest and reopen the temple of heaven.

"Shi searched the genuine goods at a fair price, and sent someone to assassinate me. I sent someone to check it. The subordinates came to report. The Secretary disappeared when he was a child. So, it is very likely that this is not a real search." Xi yue'er tells the story without any emotion.

"Why did he assassinate you?" Huo Yanchen picks eyebrows.

"It's not clear for the time being. The whereabouts of Si Xun are uncertain. It's hard for my subordinates to get information."

Xi yue'er shakes her head to show that she doesn't know.

"That's strange. Why is he aiming at you, the unpopular Prime Minister?" Huo Yanchen is very surprised.

"It still needs to be explored, but intuition tells me that this assassination has something to do with him. You can check it out." Xiyue'er hands the information to Huo Yanchen.

"I see. I'll go first." Huo Yanchen took the information and turned to leave.

Xi yue'er stood in the same place and breathed slowly. She always felt that there was a big net of conspiracy covering her.

Night is coming soon. There is no wind or moon tonight. It seems that there is no wind or grass in the prime minister's mansion. However, hidden in the silence, there is endless concealment and calculation.

As soon as xiyueer ordered someone to pass on the meal, a servant reported that the old lady was having a small dinner in Fulu Hall tonight, inviting all the ladies and aunts to have dinner.

"Miss, what tricks did the old lady think of to deal with you? It's not going to be a Hongmen banquet tonight. " Yuanzhi waves the next person back to guess the main purpose of tonight.

"I must have known that I saved Su ye and Song Qi to test me, but I can't. now many pairs of eyes in the city are staring at the prime minister's house. Xi Yunrui and the old lady dare not come here. You dress me up a little, and we'll go to the banquet together." Xiyue'er is calm and calm at this time. The more mysterious she is, the more worried she needs to be.

"Yes" Yuanzhi combs xiyuer's long hair, adds some simple hair accessories, and accompanies xiyuer to the banquet.

In Fulu hall, my aunt had already taken Xi Sufan with her. When she was chatting with the old lady, Cuizhi came in.

Since she became the wife of the prime minister's office, she no longer had to hand over the old lady to her. The word "mother" is also for Wen Yanyue.

Wen Yanyue laughs awkwardly, obviously realizing Cuizhi's meaning. But she turns to be relieved that she doesn't want to be in that position. Princess Murong is the only lady in the prime minister's mansion.

Before long, Xi Xun Meng and Xi Yu Ning both stepped in and sat down after saluting. Xixun dream didn't say anything, but Xiyu Ning opened the conversation.

"Mother, I heard that xiyue'er had saved the princess of the western regions. How could she know martial arts? Is this xiyue'er a spy sent by others?" Xiyu Ning has a bad heart, which makes the old lady and xiyunrui doubt xiyue'er's life experience. She can't explain it clearly. At that time, she will still be the most favorite daughter in the house.

Unfortunately, xiyue'er had just saved the princess of the western regions, and this became particularly harsh at this time.

"It's raining in the evening! I'm afraid you didn't write much about the family law last time. If I hear you speak rudely again, you won't have to appear in front of me in the future. " Shen Wanyu patted the table heavily.

"I'm wrong, grandmother. Ning'er is wrong." Xi Yuning was startled by the sudden sound and begged for mercy.

Shen Wanyu snorted and ignored her. On the contrary, Xi Yuer came forward to help Xi Yuning with a smile.
