Lu Jinxi has been sending people to inquire about the news, but whether it is in the palace or the third division, the news is strictly controlled, and there is no wind at all.

After such a wait, half a month has passed.

When she almost thought that this matter might have nothing to do with her, or it might be over, someone finally came to the palace.

It was the eunuch who came to pass the decree during the palace banquet.

It's just that compared to the kindness and joy on his face that day, the eunuch's face was full of pity and sympathy, and there was a kind of fear that he didn't dare to approach.

"Mrs. General, the emperor has spoken out to announce that you will enter the palace for an audience."

Chapter 149

Seeing Eunuch Chuanzhi's expression, Lu Jinxi knew that things might not be so easy.

After finishing her makeup, she followed the eunuch into the palace.

Originally, she thought that this time was the same as the last palace banquet, but when the eunuch led the way, she actually led her directly towards the Taiji Hall, which surprised her.

The eunuch only explained: "The adults are all discussing matters in the DPRK, and it is announced that you have something to ask."

Something to ask.

That should be the thing about the bandits.

Before stepping into the Golden Palace, she thought about all the things before and after herself, and asked herself that there was no wrong plot, no collusion with the bandits, and no guilty conscience, and she simply walked in frankly.

"The minister's wife, Mrs. Lu, long live my emperor."

Without squinting or even looking at the people around him, Lu Jinxi bowed his head, stood at the bottom of the center of the hall, and bowed down, his voice calm.

"Flat body."

The voice of Emperor Qing'an Xiao Che rang from above her head, echoing in this slightly spacious and solemn hall, with a taste that came from the Nine Heavens.

Lu Jinxi got up according to her words, and only then did she have the opportunity to quickly look at the hall.

As the most important place for the daily affairs of the court, this hall is naturally resplendent, and the golden bricks on the ground are dark and can reflect the shadow of people.

The four corners are covered with gold coiled dragon pillars, which are extremely majestic.

Civil and military officials are divided into four columns, standing on both sides.

At a glance, it is neat and solemn.

When the imperial masters Gu Chengqian, Taifu Wei Bingqian, and Lu's father Lu Jiuling, as well as the nine-door admiral, the infantry commander Liu Jin, Fang Shaoxing, who was promoted to the third-rank cavalry leader a while ago, and...

Gu Juefei.

Now out of the Hanlin Academy, he works in the Ministry of Rites and is in charge of the newly established Lifan Hall. He is the head of the Lifan Hall.

He was wearing an azurite white pheasant suit, but he was standing very forward.

It looked like it just happened.

Hearing Lu Jinxi entering the hall, he didn't even look back, he just stood there looking at his nose and heart, as if he didn't know her, and he was very close to those who had no outside rumors about her.

Xiao Che, who was sitting on the dragon chair, glanced down, without talking nonsense, and said directly: "Mrs. Xuan's interview this time is because of the bandit incident that Madam encountered some time ago, and the DPRK has conducted various investigations on this matter. It's just that there are some things, I still need to focus on asking Mrs. Zhou, come on."

"Yes."

Among the civil servants in the left column, one person immediately responded.

Zhou Shaoqun, the minister of Dali Temple, was over fifty years old, but he was in good spirits.

This time, the matter is being investigated by him.

At this moment, he bowed directly to Lu Jinxi, and then asked: "I have seen my wife, Zhou Shaoqun, the next official, is responsible for investigating the murder case of the Huns negotiating peace mission. Although I have already sent people to the mansion to record all kinds of things. Confessions, but there are still a few details to ask the madam in court today."

"Please speak."

Lu Jinxi was also polite, not stage fright at all, but asked him to ask questions.

In fact, these days, you can ask almost everything you can ask.

Many of the questions Zhou Shaoqun is asking now have already been answered by Lu Jinxi, and there is nothing that needs careful consideration.

It's just that she gradually realized the direction of the problem, which seemed a little strange.

"Ma'am, are you sure that after you kidnapped the mountain bandits, you have heard this group of people speak the Xiongnu language and mentioned the words 'Lord Lan'?"

Zhou Shaoqun's expression became serious, and he asked seriously.

Lu Jinxi said: "I'm not sure if it's the Xiongnu language, but it's definitely not the Chinese language from my Central Plains, at least it's used by foreigners. I've heard the three words 'Lord Lan' with my own ears, and it's definitely not false."

The court went up and down, and suddenly it was quiet.

The question that Zhou Shaoqun was about to ask was almost the same, but after the last question was answered affirmatively by Lu Jinxi, the cold sweat on his forehead fell.

"There's nothing wrong with the subordinate..."

Sitting high in the hall, Xiao Che was wearing a black dragon robe and twelve imperial crowns on his head.

Everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to speak.

Xiao Che sneered and called his name: "Master Zhou?"

Zhou Shaoqun shuddered and hurriedly bowed: "If the words of the general's wife are true, then the origins of this group of mountain bandits must hide a great conspiracy, and they are bound to collude with the Xiongnu. It's just that the ministers are stupid. I really don't know how they would commit such a bloody murder under the premise that the Xiongnu had already negotiated peace with our country. And the death of Huyanqi is quite suspicious."

It's all nonsense!

What's the difference between that and no?

Xiao Che's eyes became icy cold, and he glanced around the circle below. When everyone touched his eyes, they couldn't help but bow their heads, as if they were afraid of being pointed out by him to express their opinions.

"Don't you have a lot of ability to participate in the weekdays? Everyone is humble now, how much ability do you think you have!"

The sarcasm in the words is not concealed at all.

Xiao Che is the emperor himself, why should he give this group of ministers any face?

In the end, his gaze fell back on Gu Juefei's body, and his tone softened a little. He pressed his anger and asked, "What does Gu Aiqing think?"

Gu Juefei stepped out of the queue without haste, bowed first, and then opened his mouth slowly: "I have some ideas."

All eyes fell on him immediately.

That feeling is not like the stars holding the moon, but it is like a thorn in the eyes of everyone, and no one except the emperor wants to see him.

This situation is rare in Gu Juefei.

Of course, Lu Jinxi noticed the change in the atmosphere in the courtroom, and after a little pondering, he came back to it: the courtroom does not need Jiangnan Shilin, the so-called "everyone who knows him is his friend", here is the Impossible to do at all.

Even if Gu Juefei is capable of reaching the sky, it is impossible to make friends with everyone.

Because of the different positions.

In Jiangnan Shilin, they are all literati, and there is no objective conflict of interest. Therefore, with Gu Juefei's ability, it is a simple matter to make most people his friends.

But here we are...

She just remembered what he said before, that a man can do something and not do something.

At this moment, Gu Juefei has obviously changed his past behavior, and the edge that was deeply hidden in his temperament has been revealed.

Brilliant, stunning.

People admire him, envy him, even hate him, but at the same time they can do nothing for him.

Like this moment.

Not looking at those eyes that fell on him that were sharper than the tip of a needle, Gu Juefei calmly made his own careful speculation.

And the first sentence made all the ministers stunned.
