Su Liuyue pursed her lips slightly.

Although Lu Shaoyin did not say it explicitly, Su Liuyue could hear that there was a strong sense of grievance in his tone.

Although he was an official inherited from the previous dynasty, they had no say over who sat on the dragon throne, and to be honest, they didn't care that much.

Not everyone has the ambition to pursue power. Most people just work diligently at their posts and do their part every day.

He asked himself that nothing he did was unworthy of the official hat on his head. When he was short of staff, he could not even see his wife and children for a month. When he finally found time to go home, his wife would often ask him sarcastically, "Do you still remember that this is your home? Your little daughter just told me today that she wants to forget what her father looks like."

However, now, simply because he is an official inherited from the previous dynasty, all his previous deeds and sacrifices have been ignored, and he is directly suspended from his post and sent home, awaiting a so-called...investigation of unknown form and intensity.

Although Lu Shaoyin often joked that he was a beast of burden in the imperial court, he was still valued by his master and would not be abandoned by his master for any random reasons.

As Lu Shaoyin was talking, he felt his nose getting a little sour, and he coughed lightly and said in a hoarse voice: "Next, Jingzhao Prefecture will be entrusted to Yang Shaoyin alone. I have had experience before, and Yang Shaoyin may have a hard time during this period. Moreover, although Yang Shaoyin does not need to be suspended, he still has to deal with various investigations from above. I am afraid it will be more difficult than before.

But...with His Highness and His Majesty here, I feel more at ease with Yang Shaoyin..."

After saying this, he bowed again and walked away in a daze.

Su Liuyue kept looking at his back without moving for a long time.

Finally, she sighed and said to Feng Qi beside her: "Forget it, we won't go to Jingzhao Prefecture. Let's go back."

They just solved a missing child case yesterday, so it shouldn't be the case for another big one to happen so soon.

Feng Qi, who had been silent the whole time, gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this time, you really went too far..."

This statement was extremely treasonous, but Su Liuyue said nothing, and a cold light flashed across his eyes.

Yeah, who says it isn’t?

This kind of behavior of simply labeling someone and then killing them has always been done by thugs.

On this day, Zhou Yunke did not return home until very late again.

Su Liuyue didn't sleep tonight. When she heard the door open, she immediately got up and went out.

Zhou Yunke originally thought that she was asleep, so he quietly washed up outside before coming in. When he saw Su Liuyue suddenly appear in front of him, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly and smiled softly, "Are you still asleep?"

Su Liuyue glared at him, "So many things happened today, how can I sleep?"

Zhou Yunke was worried that the cold wind outside would come in, so he quickly turned around and closed the door. He warmed his hands before coming over to hold Su Liuyue's hand. He walked to the couch and sat down. He touched the teapot on the small table and found that the tea was still warm. He poured her a cup and said, "I was going to tell you about these things tomorrow morning.

I heard from Feng Qi that you went to the Xue family today and happened to see the Xue family receiving the imperial edict. You should have a general idea of ​​what happened today."

"Hmm." Su Liuyue was not in the mood to drink tea, and asked the question that concerned her the most, "Your Majesty...what does your father mean by a thorough investigation? What are the standards for this investigation? How strong is the investigation?"

Zhou Yunke picked up the teacup and took a sip. After a moment of silence, he said, "Things may not be too optimistic. Father has given the investigation to Prime Minister You and Changshi Sun, and asked General Murong to assist.

Prime Minister You...has never had a good attitude towards officials of the previous dynasty. He and his good nephew, the King of Wei, had previously secretly tried to win over the dignitaries of the previous dynasty. However, the powerful families of the previous dynasty were unwilling to be inferior to others. They would rather please their father than easily stand on the side of a prince. "

What's more, he is not a legitimate prince.

Zhou Yunke's mouth curved with a hint of sarcasm, and he said, "Now that the King of Wei has fallen, all the officials who were originally on their side have defected. He was already very angry, and this time, it was given to him a chance to retaliate.

As for Changshi Sun, he was already full of resentment towards the officials of the previous dynasty because the fifth young lady of the Cui family almost killed his youngest son.

As for General Murong, he has never had a very clear attitude towards the officials of the previous dynasty, but... because of my third brother, the Murong family still has some ambitions for that position.

As long as he can hit me, he will do it happily. "

What hit Zhou Yunke...

Su Liuyue said in a deep voice: "Is it because of... me?"

She came from a family of officials in the previous dynasty. After Zhou Yunke got engaged to her, all the officials of the previous dynasty inevitably regarded Zhou Yunke as "one of their own".

If Zhou Yunke successfully ascends the throne in the future, she will be the queen of a country.

For the officials of the previous dynasty whose status was somewhat awkward, the emergence of a queen from an official family of the previous dynasty was tantamount to clearing the name of the officials of the previous dynasty, allowing them to finally feel that they had truly become a part of the Daqing Dynasty.

On the other hand, Zhou Yunke also inadvertently won over these officials of the previous dynasty.

If the officials of the previous dynasty suffer a severe blow this time, it means that Zhou Yunke's power will also be severely damaged.

Thinking of this, Su Liuyue couldn't help but worry: "If they want to use this incident to attack you, my uncle and his people's situation... won't it become very dangerous?"

After all, what could be more devastating to Zhou Yunke than having a father-in-law who was plotting rebellion?
Even if the Xue family had no intention of treason, they would find ways to make him have it.

And because the relationship between Su Liuyue and the Su family has already broken down, whether the Su family has the intention of rebellion does not have much impact on them.

Zhou Yunke reached out and shook Su Liuyue's hand, his eyes slightly cold as he said, "Don't worry, even if they really have this idea, I won't let them succeed easily."

Then, he said solemnly: "Liu Yue, I still say the same thing, I won't let you lose the bet."

Su Liuyue looked into his eyes, was silent for a while, and said: "Zhou Yunke, now that things have come to this, are you willing to tell me honestly, what are your thoughts next? What do you want to do?
If Prime Minister You and his group are bent on attacking my uncle and his group, and the man sitting high and mighty on the throne is fanning the flames behind the scenes, how can we stop this?" (End of this chapter)
