Chapter 277 Sincere Advice (Part )
Shen Fu pursed her lips and calmed down for a while before telling Su Liuyue everything Wei Wuyan had just said to her.

Finally, she said, "Later, no matter how I asked Wuyan, he just kept repeating those few sentences. I feel that Wuyan is very abnormal now, as if... he is controlled by someone."

Su Liuyue just said silently in her heart that it would be more appropriate to say that Wei Wuyan was brainwashed by someone.

Seeing the uneasiness on Shen Fu's face, she softened her voice and whispered, "Miss Shen San, you have done a good job. Yesterday, the government tortured Wei Erlang for a whole night, and Wei Erlang didn't say a single useful word. You have helped us a lot today.

I'll arrange for someone to take you back in a while."

Shen Fu hesitated for a moment and asked, "My Lady, is something really going to happen to our Shen family?"

To be honest, the conversation with Wei Wuyan just now gave her tremendous psychological pressure.

Although Wuyan had been very extreme in the past and would say things like he didn't want her to leave or beg her not to leave him, he had never been like he was today, as if he was a wild beast that had bitten its prey and was unwilling to let go, and would not stop until it had torn the prey into its stomach.

She was really afraid that one day, it would become speechless and she would no longer be able to escape from his palm and would completely become a plaything in his hands.

On the one hand, she was worried about the Shen family, and on the other hand, she was afraid of Wei Wuyan. She felt that the current situation was something she had not encountered in the past ten years.

Su Liuyue's voice suddenly softened, and she said, "Don't worry, Your Highness and I will do our best to prevent this incident from affecting other innocent people."

Although it seems difficult now.

Shen Fu also knew this question very well. Su Liuyue probably couldn't answer her either. She could only force herself to cheer up and nodded, "Thank you, Your Majesty and Your Highness. If there is anything I can help you with, please feel free to tell me."

After saying that, she followed the people Su Liuyue sent to escort her and left.

Li Sicheng looked at Su Liuyue and was about to ask her what she was going to do next when a group of people suddenly came quickly from a distance. The leader was wearing a dark purple official uniform, and the two officials following behind were wearing red official uniforms. There were only three people who could dress like this in the Dali Temple - the Dali Temple Minister and the two Dali Temple Vice Ministers.

Su Liuyue had heard from Zhou Yunke before that the Chief Justice of Dali Temple was from the powerful Zhou family of the new dynasty. The other two Vice Chief Justices of Dali Temple, one was inherited from the previous dynasty, and the other was selected from local officials after the imperial examination.

Even though there was still some distance between them, Su Liuyue could tell at a glance that the expressions of the two Dali Temple Shaoqings were very strange, especially the one walking on the left and looking older, with a hint of despair on his face.

When Li Sicheng saw them, he hurried forward, bowed to them and said, "This humble official greets Mr. Zhou, Mr. Fan, and Mr. Wu..."

"Okay, these are eventful times, no need to be polite!"

Zhou Qing raised his hand suddenly. Although his expression was better than the other two Dali Temple Shaoqings, his brows were also furrowed. He glanced at Li Sicheng and said, "I remember that you were recommended by Liu Shangshu of the Ministry of War, right?"

Liu Shangshu of the Ministry of War was also a powerful figure in the Xin Dynasty.

Li Sicheng said quickly: "Yes, that's right."

"Very good. Next, Fan Shaoqing will be suspended for a period of time. You will take over his job temporarily."

Li Sicheng was startled and was about to ask something, but Zhou Qing raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "The emperor just issued an order in person in the morning, requiring a thorough investigation of all former officials who hold positions above the sixth rank in the court. He also specifically listed a family list and required officials from the families on the list to be suspended directly. After the thorough investigation is completed, the decision on whether to keep or remove them will be made based on the results of the investigation.

The emperor is very angry now. You all know this. Keep your mouth shut and don't say a word!"

Li Sicheng's face suddenly darkened. The emperor is serious this time!
There are quite a few officials from the previous dynasties who held positions of rank six or above!

Although Fan Shaoqing's family had a certain foundation, it was far from being well-known in the previous dynasty. Yet, such a family was actually included in the so-called family list.

It is conceivable that this time, all the families with some reputation in the previous dynasty were implicated.

However, Li Sicheng said nothing, only bowed and replied: "Yes, I understand!"

Zhou Qing then turned his gaze to Su Liuyue standing beside him, as if he had just noticed her presence. He turned to her and saluted, saying, "Your subordinate greets the Crown Princess. Your Majesty is coming to the Dali Temple. Why didn't you inform me in advance so that I could be prepared to welcome you."

Su Liuyue looked at him and said calmly, "I was previously responsible for the missing child case that caused the Cui family's trouble. When Cui Mingyuan was arrested yesterday, I was also present and witnessed the whole process of Wei Erlang being involved in this incident.

It so happened that I had some connection with Wei Erlang before, so I wanted to ask him a few questions.

I shouldn't have disturbed Zhou Qing from doing his work, right?"

"Your Highness was able to find out the truth about the missing child in such a short time and rescued Young Master Sun safely. This is truly admirable.

This case, after all, is derived from the case of missing children, so Your Majesty is naturally qualified to inquire about it.

It’s just that, Your Majesty, I am not meddling in your business. I have a few words that I would like to remind Your Majesty…”

Zhou Qing lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Now the emperor is furious. As the saying goes, when the emperor is angry, the mountains and rivers are shaken. Your Majesty... in the final analysis, she is from the old dynasty. Now the old dynasty has been pushed to the forefront, and it is hard to guarantee that Your Majesty will not be implicated.

Whether it's for His Highness or for Her Majesty herself, Her Majesty should stay out of this matter."

Su Liuyue's heart sank slightly.

Su Liuyue didn’t know much about this Zhou Qing, and she knew even less about the Zhou family he belonged to.

But now, listening to his tone and words, he didn't contain any sarcasm or ridicule at all, but was giving her sincere advice.

She was silent for a moment, and then said, "I know about these things, but I still want to thank Zhou Qing for reminding me."

Zhou Qing then stood up straight and said calmly, "I have something else to do later. I'm sorry I can't continue to receive Her Majesty. Li Sicheng, you continue to follow Her Majesty and see if she has any other needs."

As the saying goes, the people above have to talk too much and the people below have to work too hard.

As soon as the emperor said "thorough investigation", almost all departments in the court were implicated. The Dali Temple was relatively lucky, at least the leader was the dignitaries of the new dynasty. As long as they found someone to temporarily replace the suspended officials, the entire department would not be paralyzed.

It is conceivable that other departments where the old dynasty’s powerful people account for a large proportion will experience great chaos.

After watching Zhou Qing leave, Su Liuyue looked at Li Sicheng standing beside him and said, "You don't have to follow me any more. I don't have anything else to do in the Dali Temple, so I'll go back first."

After leaving the Dali Temple, she did not go home, but took a detour to the Xue family.
