Under Chang Yu's arrangement, Mu Yun finally escaped from here on the seventh day after entering the palace.

Under Cui Qian's personal guidance, Jiang Chengyi rushed to the Nan Palace in an orderly manner. Early in the morning, Dou Yuelan, Jing Ting, Chang Yu and Yue Luo waited outside the Nan Palace with their own documents and files.

Emperor Wei rested for four days, and his face was significantly less sick than the previous few days. In addition, he learned the good news from outside the palace, and felt happy, his mental state improved greatly, and his fatigue was wiped out.

As autumn begins to winter, the weather becomes colder. Emperor Wei gathers a layer of thick velvet fur cloak in green ink and walks to the steps in front of the corridor. He sees rows of dense people standing on the ground not far from the South Hall.

Cui Qian stood aside and was waiting, lowering his head when the question from Emperor Wei came from his ears: "Is Jiang Chengyi already waiting in the South Palace?"

He did not dare to be slow and immediately replied: "Reply to Your Majesty's words, when you get up in the morning, I will follow your instructions and ask the Jiangzhusi to come and wait first."

"What about Deng Guozhong and Deng Qing?"

"Your Majesty, you have told me that when Dou Tingwei, the commander and others enter the palace, you will invite them to come. Therefore, the old slave just sent someone to Wuying Palace."

Emperor Wei nodded and said, "It's a good job. Go and bring Dou Yuelan and the others into the hall first, and then send a little eunuch to listen to their movements and report to me at any time. I will blow the wind in the corridor for a while, and then go in after a stick of incense."

Cui Qian expressed his concern and said, "If Your Majesty doesn't want to enter the South Palace now, why not sit on the side of the building first? The wind is strong under the corridor, and your body is weak and cold, and I'm afraid you can't stand it. It's only when the Queen has told me that I should take good care of you..."

Emperor Wei was in a very good mood and said, "It's not a big deal, I just want to stand quietly for a while. You go."

Seeing that he insisted on doing this, Cui Qian did not dare to persuade him: "Hey, I'm going to leave."

Emperor Wei looked up on the railing and waited patiently in the morning breeze.

In the southern hall, Jiang Chengyi, Dou Yuelan, Jing Ting, Chang Yu and Yue Lao gathered together, and were whispering in a low voice. Just then, Cui Qian sent a young eunuch to Wuying Hall to attract Deng Guozhong and Deng Qing.

The moment the grandparents and grandson stepped into the threshold, the atmosphere in the lobby of the South Hall suddenly became cold. The ministers slowly turned around and looked at the door of the hall, all with cold and hatred.

Deng Guozhong calmed down for four days, and his emotions had calmed down. At this moment, he was very calm and composed in the face of everyone's scrutiny.

Jiang Chengyi looked over, raised a bright smile, then came forward and said, "Taiwei Deng is here late. He really told us juniors to wait."

Deng Guozhong glanced at him silently and said sarcastically: "Jiangzhusi is really good. In the South Hall four days ago, you and my tribes have completely broken their faces. Do you still have the intention to talk and laugh with me here?"

Faced with his ridicule and sarcasm, Jiang Chengyi said without hesitation: "Even so, I should respect the Grand Master... I can't lose my junior's etiquette, right?"

Deng Guozhong sneered: "I didn't expect that Jiang Zhusi still knew etiquette? I was so old that I almost got angry with you in the palace, so I dare not expect you to be respectful to me."

Jiang Chengyi smiled and said with a smile: "The case is over... Your Majesty hasn't come yet, why should Taiwei Deng be so aggressive in private?"

"Just, you, Jiang, want to kill me, Deng, to death. Do you still have to be polite to you?" Deng Guozhong glanced at him coldly, extremely disdainful.

"The Grand Marshal said it very well... I am also a person who will avenge you if you have any grudges. Please remember that it was your son who provoked his younger wife and sister first. Now he has passed away. I have no way to say anything. I have no place to avenge you if you have grudges. But... Your precious grandson Deng Qing, by chance, angered me... His tricks are sinister and vicious, and every step is to force people to the dead. How can I continue to swallow my anger and not release them secretly?"

Deng Qing stood behind Deng Guozhong. When she heard Jiang Chengyi's words, she gritted her teeth in hatred. She stepped forward and roared at him: "Jiang Chengyi! You are slandering! I have never done those things to you!"

Deng Guozhong's face changed, and he hurriedly stretched out his arm to stop Deng Qing behind him, and roared in a low voice and shouted: "Shut up! Get out of the way!"

Deng Qing was shocked and immediately looked at his grandfather in panic. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, so he had to step back obediently and lower his head in frustration. Deng Guozhong was both annoyed and angry in his heart, and he gritted his teeth secretly, and glanced at the young man behind him with a cold eyes, then turned to look at everyone.

Jiang Chengyi lowered his eyebrows and smiled slightly, as if he was sarcastic and mocking: "It seems that during the four days when His Majesty closed us three,... the Protector General did not reflect at all?"

Deng Guozhong forced him to step forward and said, "My grandson is innocent, why should I reflect on it?"

Jiang Chengyi glanced at the corner of his lips and hummed, "Teacher Deng is so sure, so let's see what the result of today's palace trial is?"

Deng Guozhong was extremely disgusted with this person and said irritably: "Jiang Chengyi, I advise you, don't be so arrogant when doing things."

As soon as these words were said, Jing Ting, who was standing beside him, was very unhappy. He stepped forward, stood in front of Jiang Chengyi, and said to Deng Guozhong without hesitation: "Master Taiwei, Jiang Zhushi has always been very sensible in his actions. If there is no evidence, he would never be like this. Today, he will be tried, so please beg for your own blessings, so don't scold others here!"

In the South Palace, a solemn aura quickly formed between Deng Guozhong and Jiang Chengyi, and the two sides were tensely confronting each other.

In the lobby, the little eunuch who was hiding in the corner quietly observing the situation, took advantage of the most tense atmosphere and slipped out quietly.

He walked all the way, quickly rushed to the corridor where Emperor Wei was, and reported panting: "Your Majesty... In the South Palace, the ministers quarreled frequently, and I'm afraid the momentum will be almost impossible to suppress."

"There are only Jiang Chengyi and Deng Guozhong in the hall who are arguing, or are the other four people also participating in the debate?" Emperor Wei asked softly.

The little eunuch did not dare to look up casually, and lowered his eyebrows and said, "Report to Your Majesty, in the South Palace, at first... it was the Master Jiang who paid tribute to the Old Taiwei Deng first, but the Old Taiwei seemed not satisfied, so he started arguing with him. The Master Jiang was gradually defeated at a disadvantage. Commander Jing Da was unable to see it, so he stood up and said a few words for the Master Jiang. The other ministers did not say a word, but were just watching quietly."

Emperor Wei seemed to have expected this situation and said calmly: "I understand, go back."

The little eunuch was slightly stunned, unable to guess what the emperor was thinking, so he could only retreat as he ordered.

Emperor Wei stared at the scenery under the steps of the South Palace and said to Cui Qian who was following him: "Go and inform me. They are so arguing, it's time for me to appear."

Cui Qian was listening to what Emperor Wei said, and inexplicably worried about Jing Ting.

He served the king for many years and was the best at judging the emperor's thoughts and knew clearly what Emperor Wei had done just now, so he wanted to see how many people in the palace were closest to Jiang's family.

Jing Ting's actions undoubtedly brought the emperor's suspicion to the Grand Commander's Mansion.

At this moment, in the court, any minister who is close to the Deng clan or any of the Jiang clans will be the target of guard against Emperor Wei.

Although Cui Qian's heart is as clear as a mirror, he cannot say anything more to anyone. As the emperor's attendant, if he cannot be considerate of the king's heart at all times, he will first bring disaster to himself.

He thought about it for a moment, bowed to the Emperor of Wei and replied, "Old slave."

The atmosphere was still condensed above the hall.

Until Cui Qian took a few steps and walked into the hall and shouted, "Sir, Your Majesty is already outside the hall, please come forward and pick you up quickly."

The dangerous atmosphere was cut through. Jiang Chengyi and Deng Guozhong put down their tit-for-tat attitude, stood in front of each other, walked in front, led the people in the hall to walk a few steps towards the door, and knelt down on one knee.

The Emperor of Wei came late and the moment he stepped into the South Palace, he heard the ministers saluting to him, "I will meet your Majesty. Your Majesty is in peace."

He silently glanced around the hall, then walked straight to the higher level, silently all the way. The hall was so quiet that it seemed as if he could hear even an embroidery needle falling to the ground.

Emperor Wei slowly fell into the imperial couch, and then he spoke lightly: "Since everyone is already there, let's talk about the evidence they have found?"

Dou Yuelan stood up first, bowed and said, "Your Majesty...before the trial, I want to ask Your Majesty for something."

Emperor Wei raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?"

Dou Yuelan grabbed the side of her clothes and bowed to the Emperor of Wei solemnly, and said seriously: "The things we examined in the hall today are not only related to the Lord Taichang, but also to the country and the country of the Great Wei. I hope Your Majesty can handle it impartially. Let Taiwei Deng and the General Deng Qing, the Protector, come to the hall to accept the confrontation with the witnesses."

As soon as these words were spoken, Deng Guozhong quickly looked at Dou Yuelan and frowned tightly.

Emperor Wei observed the reactions of everyone under the steps, and after careful consideration, he nodded and agreed: "It's right. Cui Qian, you take Deng Qing away from the South Palace first and go to the side palace to wait."

Seeing this, Deng Guozhong immediately stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty... Why do you have to do this more time? Isn't this even more time-consuming?"

Jiang Chengyi turned around and retorted: "The Taiwei said this is a bad thing. If you were in the hall with the Protector General, you would inevitably interfere with the process of the trial because of each other's defense. It would be better to act as what Dou Tingwei said, and be fair and just."

Deng Guozhong heard his words and was about to argue, but Emperor Wei spoke out and stopped him, "Taiwei Deng, time is tight, so let's do what they say."

He paused, looked up at the emperor on the couch, and was confused and nodded helplessly, "Hey, the old minister obeyed the order."
