The three hundred imperial guards who had gone ahead had brought back the good news. When Lin Ruge and Ouyang Yi entered the city the next day, they received an unprecedented grand welcome. Even Ouyang Yi, who was used to returning in triumph, couldn't help but look at Lin Ruge. Ruge gave a thumbs up, "This time I'm in your hands!"

Emperor Zhaohe's body became stronger and stronger, and he even waited outside the inquiry hall and personally took the two of them into the hall.

There are only two prime ministers in the inquiry hall, so it seems that non-core personnel must be avoided in this matter.

Shen Jue smiled at Lin Ruge, expressing his admiration; while Chen Yuhe still had a cold and indifferent expression, and just nodded slightly towards Ouyang Yi, which was not indicative of his identity.

"The Holy Witch has been placed in the Honglu Guest House." Lin Ruge stood behind Emperor Zhaohe with a smile, stepped aside and allowed Ouyang Yi to sit down.

"Mr. Ning has made a great contribution this time." Emperor Zhaohe smiled.

"It should be so." Lin Ruge also smiled.

"Theoretically, he deserves a heavy reward." Emperor Zhaohe turned around and sat down, still smiling.

"Of course..." Lin Ruge, who spoke too quickly, almost ignored Emperor Zhaohe's intention, and quickly raised his hand again, "It's just my duty, I don't ask for heavy rewards."

Emperor Zhaohe didn't seem to hear Lin Ruge's self-effacement, "Before we set off, I told you that I would reward you with the orb reflecting the beautiful flowers. It's a pity that the two girls were so naughty that they snatched the orb away. I was helpless."

Lin Ruge, "..."

"Let's talk about granting you an official position. You are already the Prime Minister of the country. I really can't think of any other high-level official position that could fall into your eyes." Emperor Zhaohe smiled conspiratorially, and Lin Ruge heard this. You see, it turns out that you have to give yourself such a humiliation as soon as you enter the palace! After all, there is no reward, why bother to take such a big detour.

So he smiled and said, "Your Majesty is joking. It's just my job. I really don't dare to ask for any reward from Your Majesty."

Emperor Zhaohe had already turned his head and looked at Ouyang Yi, "The general has made many outstanding achievements in recent days, so he must be rewarded. Let's do this. I will make you the general of the auxiliary country and reward you with jewels and beautiful concubines. What do you think?"

Ouyang Yi saw that he didn't have Lin Ruge's share, so he didn't want to ask for much. He just smiled and declined, "It's the minister's own affairs. Your Majesty's words are serious."

"Huh?" Emperor Zhaohe held the memorial, but stopped looking at it. He only looked at Ouyang Yi with a probing and probing look. Ouyang Yi felt guilty for a while and hurriedly knelt down to thank you, "Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace." .”

That's pretty much it. Emperor Zhaohe returned his gaze to the folded book and smiled.

Lin Ruge felt that the way Emperor Zhaohe looked at Ouyang Yi just now was very Rongchu-like. It seemed to be just a search for something, but there was an infinite knife hidden inside. The knife was not out of its sheath, but he was frightened by waves of coldness. You couldn't help but not believe what he said.

Speaking of which, I still don’t know if Rong Chu has come back, and I don’t know how the investigation of dad’s case is going.

Lin Ruge's slightly depressed expression, in Shen Jue's eyes, turned out to be a sign of frustration because he had made a futile trip for the emperor. So he borrowed the time of Chu Gong, pulled Lin Ruge out, and gave him some heartfelt teachings.

"The Emperor is old, so it's understandable that he occasionally goes back on his word." Shen Jue walked around with Lin Ruge, seemingly having a heart-to-heart talk, "This incident all happened because of the Crown Prince, and the Emperor has no intention of targeting you. , so Mr. Ning can broaden his mind and don’t worry about these things.”

Lin Ruge didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but still looked serious and accepted the teachings humbly.

Then, he accidentally asked, "Did anything happen in the palace after I went to Southern Xinjiang?"

Shen Jue looked around warily and said in a low voice, "Do you still remember the major conspiracy case many years ago?"

Lin Ruge nodded, and then suddenly thought of something, "The prince also..."

"That's right!" Shen Jue sighed, expressing his hatred for steel, "Zhongcui Hall originally had spies placed by various princes around the emperor. Everyone knew it, but they just didn't show it. It’s ridiculous, Prince. The Emperor caught wind and cold at night. The Prince rushed to Zhongcui Hall the next day and asked the Emperor if he wanted to wait for his husband to bring the Holy Witch back and ask the Holy Witch to give him a diagnosis and treatment.”

The Holy Wizard of Southern Xinjiang... Lin Ruge was silent, it turned out that the prince had already set his sights on Rong Chu.

"Perhaps Imperial Physician Huo once reminded the prince that the emperor's disease can be cured by no one except the Holy Witch of Southern Xinjiang, so the prince is always worried about it." Shen Jue sighed again, "That day, the sky fell. It snowed heavily, and even ordinary people were sick for three to five days. It was ridiculous that the prince thought that the emperor was old and useless, so he took the queen and broke into the Zhongcui Palace."

Lin Ruge said nothing, thinking about the prince's intentions in her heart.

Even if he was willing to lead the queen into the Zhongcui Palace, would the queen let him lead her into the emperor's bedroom?

There is probably still a conspiracy here.

"The queen has always been safe, but for some reason that day, she was taken away by the prince." Shen Jue twirled his beard and smiled helplessly, "She also said a lot of holy witch words to the emperor. Everyone knows that the holy wizard Wu was the emperor's heart problem, and the prince went crazy that day and stood in the middle of the hall and kept saying that the queen followed the prince without stopping him."

"...The Emperor was so angry that he vomited a large pool of blood." Although Shen Jue sighed, there was no regret in his words.

Lin Ruge suddenly remembered that she had peeked at Rong Chu's brocade book. At that time, she had guessed which prime minister had written the brocade book. Today, it seemed that it was indeed the kind-hearted Shen Jue.

Chen Yuhe, who also solved the three problems, did not write the answers to Chen Ying. Comparing the two, Lin Ruge's admiration for Chen Yuhe became even higher.

It turns out that I have always been on the edge of a huge conspiracy.

The person who once thought that she was cautious and cautious at every step would not be able to get the full picture in this huge conspiracy, and could not even catch a glimpse of the leopard. For example, she should have known after eavesdropping on the conversation between Chang Xin and Chen Ying at Guozixue. , Chen Yuhe was from the faction of King Yan, and Shen Jue was from the faction of King Qi, but because she was deceived by Shen Jue's neutral and kind face, she actually forgot to think about the brocade book. Who else could write it except Shen Jue.

The two returned to the Information Hall. Emperor Zhaohe was still looking at the memorial in a good mood and asked them questions from time to time.

"How long does it take for you two to pay tribute?" Emperor Zhaohe looked a little uninterested. With the support of Wei Chi, he stood up and walked around the long dragon table.

"Back to the emperor, I caught wind and cold yesterday, so my stomach is not flat." Shen Jue smiled slightly.

"Oh, yes." Emperor Zhaohe pinned Lin Ruge back to the chair with his eyes as he was about to get up. "The weather has changed suddenly in recent days, so you adults should also take care of your health. As for Pingfan's second plan, Mr. Ning sees it When is the best time to implement it?”
