Joy of Life: I, a man, became the Queen of Northern Qi?

Chapter 110: Concubine De is a little strange today.

"Go do something."

As the young eunuch left, Li An raised his hands and looked around at his attire: he was wearing a Yanju crown and robes with a double phoenix and dragon crown, a colorful round shirt, a gold and jade belt around his waist, a wide-sleeved shirt with a bright red background, and a shawl at the back - this was the queen's formal dress!
With a light laugh, Li An, surrounded by several palace maids who lowered their heads and dared not look directly at him, slowly walked towards the main hall.
"The Queen Mother is here!"

"Her Majesty the Virtuous Consort has arrived!"

Gao Zhongxian sang aloud to all the officials in a hoarse voice, a little stiffly.

Under the gazes of the crowd, two figures slowly walked into the hall. However, after looking for a moment, they all lowered their heads and dared not look any further.

When they saw this, they were all shocked!
The person who attracted the most attention was not the Queen Mother, but Concubine De in her phoenix robe!

Li An was not flustered or nervous about wearing the wrong clothes. His eyes were half open and half closed, and his expression was indifferent and cold, giving people a sense of chill and fear from the heart, making him look more majestic. Even the queen mother in front of him had a calm expression, and was obviously overshadowed by the rare character behind him.

"Mother, beloved concubine."

The little emperor smiled heartily, looking very relaxed. "Why are you here together?"

"Of course there is something important." The Queen Mother smiled gently and then sat behind the pearl curtain with the help of Li An. Li An just smiled lightly and went to his seat.

Before this, the tall official who had made the bold statement swallowed his saliva, took a look at Concubine De's attire, and then walked out of the team in a heroic manner.

He forced himself to remain calm. Although his eyes were wide open, his pupils were shrinking. He shouted, "May I ask Her Majesty, have you heard about what happened outside the palace last night?"

Damn, this guy is more stubborn than me!

A few brave ones looked at his back closely, and they were all impressed in their hearts. He was a man who was not afraid of death!
"I wonder who this gentleman is?"

Li An hesitated slightly. He really didn't recognize who this person was.

"My beloved concubine, this is Minister Yang Shengxu, the new Right Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate." The young emperor explained with a smile.

Li An's heart moved, he bowed slightly to thank the little emperor, then turned to Yang Shengxu and asked curiously: "I have lived in the palace for a long time, and I am not familiar with the news from the outside world. I wonder why Lord Yang asked this question?"

Yeah, I installed it for you.
Yang Shengxu stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, please allow me to report. I was outside the palace last night. I want to ask, what do you think about this?"

"What do you think?"

Li An looked puzzled and said calmly, "Are you saying that the Prime Minister is dead? Since the deceased didn't say anything, why don't we just let it go."

Let's just leave it at that.
There were several muffled sounds from the audience, and several officials felt as if they were hit hard in the chest, as if they had internal injuries and were in extreme pain!
Empress Defei, you don't plan to pretend anymore, right?
At this moment, Yang Shengxu seemed to be possessed by justice. He asked anxiously, "I want to ask, in such a serious matter, why did Master Langtao and Her Excellency the Saint Lady, who were on duty in the palace last night, not come out to rescue?"

"Yang Qing, be careful with your words!"

The little emperor looked unfriendly, and it seemed that Yang Shengxu was questioning his beloved concubine. How could she tolerate this?
"Master Langtao and Little Nun are supposed to protect the safety of the palace. The thieves are rampant and have great martial arts skills. Without you two, who will guarantee the safety of my mother and Consort De? Who will guarantee my safety?!"

"Is it you? Or them!?" The little emperor looked unfriendly and shouted at his ministers.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, I am incompetent!" "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I am incompetent!"

In the main hall, everyone knelt on the ground, confessing their sins as if they were repenting.

Even Yang Shengxu had no choice but to kneel down and admit his mistake.

After the routine, he simply knelt on the ground and said bluntly: "But now it is bright, the thieves can't hide, why not send a ninth-rank strongman to arrest him and bring him to justice? I think with the skills of Master Ku He's disciple, he will not be able to defeat the thieves!"

The implication is that he is blaming the palace for procrastination and that it was intentional.

Li An was indignant. What happened?
Don’t you know that Langtao and Haitang Duoduo love fishing? We fishermen are like this. Once we catch a big fish, it is easy to get lost. Isn’t it normal to waste this little time?

The palace lake is so big, they caught a few big fish last night. What's wrong? Do you want to report to me?
"The thief is vicious, perhaps he is an assassin from the enemy country, and his purpose is to disrupt the normal operation of our dynasty! Your Majesty, I also think that what Lord Yang said makes sense. I have to trouble Master Langtao and Saint Haitang to arrest this man and bring him to justice to ease the hearts of the ministers."

Behind the curtain, the Queen Mother's voice sounded at the right time, and the atmosphere became calm and peaceful.

The ministers were delighted to hear this. They were about to bow their hands in agreement, but they heard Concubine De, who had been pretending to be stupid, speak up: "What the Queen Mother said makes sense, but I think this is a strategy of the enemy country! Their purpose is to lure out the strong men in the palace so that they can do something bad to Your Majesty!"

Li An was talking nonsense, and then he continued calmly: "Now is the time of war, no matter what means the Qing Kingdom uses, it is not surprising, Your Majesty, you are the pillar of Da Qi, you are the most important, you must not fail!"

Good guy!
What a great guy!

Yes, the lives of Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are important, but our lives are worthless, right?

There have been so many tragic deaths, but the palace refuses to send out strong support. This Defei has such a cruel heart!
Furthermore, the Empress Dowager had already spoken, yet Concubine De dared to refute her - it seemed that the struggle between His Majesty and the Empress Dowager had reached a fever pitch!

All the ministers were depressed, but there were still some knowledgeable people who saw the clues and did not panic. To put it bluntly, everyone knew who the dead people belonged to, and it was also clear who the assassin was.

As long as we don't go against the Empress, our lives will be safe!
Of course, if Li An knew what they were thinking at this moment, he would probably avoid their gazes and mutter: That’s not necessarily true!
The Iron Judge with a strong sense of justice is crazy!

He is abnormal and twisted!

If you guys really go too far in your daily behavior, he wouldn't be surprised if you were killed.
Seeing the strange looks on the faces of the ministers, Li An changed the subject and said with a laugh, "Lord Yang's question is very strange. There are so many major cases in the capital. Isn't it the negligence of the Jinwu Guard, Jingzhao Prefecture, and Jinyi Guard? You don't impeach them, but instead blame the palace. What's the meaning of this?"

After hearing this, the ministers did not feel happy, but were all shocked.

Coincidentally, at this moment, the voice of the eunuch was heard from outside the main hall:

"Reporting, Jinwu Guard Wang Rong, Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Yuan Xinxiong, and Jinyi Guard Commander Shen Zhong request to see you!"

The little emperor had a calm expression on his face. He waved his hand. Gao Zhongxian beside him understood and stepped forward and shouted:

"Xuan!"
