Zongwu: Diary, Ten Thousand Nine Suns, Shocking and Inviting the Moon

The atmosphere in the court became extremely oppressive, and everyone held their breath, fearing that they would be the next person to be questioned.

The princess and Lin Ruofu were keenly aware that this was an opportunity to defend themselves.

The princess stepped forward gently, her voice soft but firm.

"Your Majesty, this matter is obviously manipulated by someone in secret, attempting to disturb the peace of the court. Please be discerning and clear our grievances."

Lin Ruofu also hurriedly expressed his position, his voice trembling slightly.

"Your Majesty, we know nothing about this matter. Someone must have deliberately framed us. Please make the decision for us."

Emperor Qing watched them vying to defend themselves in the court, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

He was well aware of the intrigues of these people in the court, but at this moment he was not in a hurry to reveal the truth.

Because only by letting these people reveal their own feet in panic and anxiety can they be caught in one fell swoop.

"Since you all say you are innocent," Emperor Qing's voice sounded again, with an unquestionable majesty, "Then I will give you a chance. Chen Pingping, I order you to re-investigate this matter, no matter who is involved, you must investigate it thoroughly. If there is any concealment or shielding, I will never tolerate it!"

Chen Pingping took a deep breath. He knew that this was a test from Emperor Qing and saluted respectfully.

"I will obey your order and will not disappoint your majesty's expectations."

Emperor Qing looked at Chen Pingping's back after he retreated. The court returned to calm again, but his heart was turbulent.

He turned his gaze back to Si Lili and Ye Xuan who were still standing in the hall, and a trace of complex emotions flashed in his deep eyes.

Although this incident was resolved, the intrigue in the court will continue.

Therefore, Emperor Qing seemed to have thought of something, and slowly spoke, revealing a rare gentleness in his voice, as if the spring breeze blew across the frozen lake.

"Si Lili, although you are in a brothel, you have shown tenacity and wisdom in this incident, which makes me feel very relieved. I have decided to pardon you."

When Si Lili heard this, tears rolled down like pearls from a broken string.

She bowed deeply and said in a choked voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. I am grateful."

Emperor Qing nodded, and a glimmer of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

Then, he turned his gaze to Ye Xuan, with an indescribable expectation in his eyes.

"Ye Xuan," Emperor Qing's voice was full of praise, "Your performance in this incident has shown me your wisdom and courage. What's more valuable is that you not only have master-level martial arts, but also have a chivalrous heart. I have decided to grant you the position of Director of the Inspection Office, and hope that you can serve Daqing."

After hearing this, Ye Xuan bowed to Emperor Qing and said firmly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. I will do my best to be loyal to Daqing."

Emperor Qing looked at Ye Xuan and Si Lili, who were both grateful, and a sense of pride surged in his heart.

He knew that this decisionIt is correct. No matter how big his ambition is, he needs someone to implement it.

And recruiting a master-level expert is undoubtedly a huge fortune for him.

The court officials discussed the decision of Emperor Qing to grant Ye Xuan the post of the Supervisor of the Inspection Office, and a complicated atmosphere permeated the court.

Some old officials gathered together and whispered.

"Your Majesty's reward to Ye Xuan this time seems to be a bit too generous."

An old official stroked his beard and frowned in thought.

There was a little confusion and worry in his voice.

"Humph, a young boy who is still wet behind the ears, how can he be the Supervisor of the Inspection Office? Isn't this nonsense?"

A young official snorted disdainfully, his face full of dissatisfaction and jealousy.

However, some ministers held different views.

"That's not the case," a neutral minister interjected objectively, "Ye Xuan's wisdom and courage in this incident are indeed impressive. He was able to withstand the pressure, find out the truth, and clear Si Lili's grievances. This is not something that ordinary people can do."

After the court was dismissed, the news quickly spread throughout Kyoto.

People on the streets were talking about the newly promoted Inspection Commissioner, praising him as a chivalrous hero.

Some people even began to make up stories about Ye Xuan and Si Lili, and spread the story of a hero saving a beauty.

Fan Xian was so angry when he heard the news in his mansion.

"This Ye Xuan is so important!"

He gritted his teeth and said, his heart full of resentment and jealousy.

After all, he had always regarded Ye Xuan as a competitor. Now that he saw Ye Xuan's rise to fame, how could he not be angry?

At the same time, Fan Sizhe and Fan Ruoruo also learned that the person who beat them before was actually Ye Xuan.

The brother and sister looked at each other, their anger overflowing.

"This Ye Xuan, how dare he bully us like this!" Fan Sizhe roared. (To read the violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

However, after the anger, they also knew that the matter could not be changed.

Ye Xuan is now the chief of the Inspection Institute, with great power, and they can't compete with him at all.

In another mansion, Lin Wan'er heard the news and a faint smile appeared on her face.

"Brother Ye really didn't let me down."

She thought secretly in her heart, feeling sincerely happy about Ye Xuan's achievements.

Lin Wan'er knew that Ye Xuan was a talented and ambitious person, and that he was able to get such an opportunity now as a result of his hard work.

After the court session, the princess and Lin Ruofu happily held a grand banquet for Ye Xuan to celebrate his promotion to the position of Chief of the Inspection Office.

The dignitaries and celebrities of Kyoto were invited to the banquet, which was brightly lit like a starry night sky.

The crowds were bustling, and the atmosphere was full of excitement and luxury.

However, in sharp contrast to this lively scene,Chen Pingping and Fan Jian hid in a dark secret room, both of them looked solemn and worried.

After all, Emperor Qing's dissatisfaction with this incident was obvious. If the matter could not be resolved quickly and properly, the consequences would be disastrous.

Chen Pingping frowned, and after a moment, he finally said, "We must act as soon as possible."

His voice was low and firm, revealing an unquestionable determination, "Your Majesty's attitude on this matter is very clear. If we cannot give a satisfactory explanation, I am afraid that the whole court will set off a storm."

Fan Jian nodded, his expression was also solemn. []

"I understand. We were indeed negligent in this matter. I didn't expect Ye Xuan to suddenly intervene and disrupt all our plans."

There was a hint of helplessness and regret in his words, as if he was blaming himself for his negligence.

"It's useless to say this now."

Chen Pingping sighed, a trace of fatigue flashed in his eyes.

"We need to find a solution as soon as possible to calm His Majesty's anger. Otherwise, our future and our lives will be threatened.".
