A very light and shallow kiss, like a gentle brush of feathers, making the heart feel itchy.
Before Yu Zheng had time to taste it, Jiang Shu had already withdrawn and used the powder to apply medicine to him.
While wrapping the cotton cloth, there was a knock on the door outside the house.
"Your Majesty, Princess, the young prince has been fed."
Jiang Shu quickly tied a knot, and Yu Zheng put on his clothes and let people in.
Aunt Gui entered the house with a smile and put the full Yu Ziyou into Yu Zheng's arms.
"The princess needs a good rest at night. After a while, I will take the young prince to have a rest."
Newborn babies eat less and get hungry quickly. They have to be fed several times during the night, and their diapers have to be cleaned and changed.
However, Jiang Shu wanted to take care of himself and Yu Zheng wanted to go to court, so it was obviously not suitable for him to sleep with his children.
"Thank you, grandma." Jiang Shu thanked him gratefully.
"It's all what an old slave should do." Aunt Gui didn't dare to take the responsibility and Fushen withdrew.
The door of the room was closed again. Yu Zheng asked Jiang Shu to lie on the inside and gently placed the child in the middle while he lay on the outside.
Both of them looked sideways at the child without saying anything. The atmosphere was peaceful, calm and extremely comfortable.
After some time, Yu Ziyou closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The candle flickered, Jiang Shu raised his hand and yawned, saying, "Let's sleep too."
Yu Zheng responded, stood up and sent Yu Ziyou out.
Jiang Shu was weak after giving birth and Yu Zheng was also very tired. The two had a good night's sleep.
At dawn the next day, Yu Zheng quietly got up and went to court.
Yesterday, the raid on Cao's house caused a great sensation. Today, the court hall was silent, and no one dared to speak rashly.
In particular, the ministers of Cao Qian's faction were so timid that they did not dare to show off for fear of being in trouble.
The Emperor's long eyes glanced at the officials below with a powerful look, and said solemnly: "Cao Qian committed regicide and rebelled, and he deserves to be punished. However, this case is serious and involves many people. In order to find out the crime and his party members, the case was handed over to King Jing is in charge, and the Dali Temple’s Criminal Department and the Front Office are assisting in the joint trial.”
"My son, I obey."
"I obey the decree."
Yu Zheng, Zhou Boxu and others responded.
Hearing the emperor mention the word "party followers", the courtiers of Cao Qian's faction trembled in unison.
They were on Cao Qian's side and did many things with Cao Qian. But they really didn't participate in the regicide.
At most...at most, it would be to comply with Cao Qian's wishes and ask the emperor to go to Tianji Mountain to offer sacrifices to heaven and pray for blessings.
Perhaps this matter was important and Cao Qian was suspicious, so he planned all this on his own without telling anyone.
Now that Cao Qian was captured by mistake, it hurt them a lot.
Everyone in Cao Qian's party is in danger and fearful. They can only pray for God's blessing and close the case early so that they will not be found out and avoid this disaster.
The emperor took a deep breath and added: "The queen and the crown prince are members of the Cao family. They conspired to kill the king. They secretly transferred the guards to murder the crown prince's concubines and the emperor's heirs. They are unpardonable sins. They should be deposed from their positions and join the Cao family. Concurrently."
"Your Majesty is wise."
At this point, no one dares to intercede for the Queen and Cao Muxue. And most courtiers are happy to hear about it.
Today's morning court ended a little late. After the emperor returned to the imperial study, he immediately wrote the edict to abolish the queen and the edict to abolish the crown princess.
He has been waiting for this day for many years!
It was a great honor to have two daughters of the Cao family enter the palace, one a queen and the other a princess.
With today's edict, everything will become a thing of the past.
When the chamberlain came to the cold palace to announce the decree, the queen was not surprised at all and accepted the decree calmly.
Cao Muxue, who suddenly fell into the clouds, couldn't bear it and collapsed on the ground, lost in thought.
The queen ignored her, lowered her body and asked the chambermaid about Yu Cheng's situation with a bit of supplication.
The waiter didn't say anything at first and wanted to turn around and leave.
The queen hurriedly pulled out the golden hairpin from her head and quietly gave it to him.
She now has nothing but the few pieces of jewelry she wears.
The chamberlain held the golden hairpin and looked out cautiously. Seeing that the imperial guards did not pay attention, he lowered his voice and said, "His Royal Highness is not awake yet."
When the queen heard this, she felt as if her heart was hit by a huge stone, feeling heavy and painful.
A whole day and two nights have passed, and Yu Cheng still hasn't woken up. How seriously injured is he?
Or, can he still wake up?
The queen couldn't help but tremble slightly as she squeezed her hands tightly. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Who was the prince hurt by?"
The chamberlain shook his head, he really didn't know.
The queen wanted to inquire more, but the chamberlain did not dare to stay longer and left quickly.
Now the entire Cao family is under investigation and imprisoned, with no possibility of recovery, and no one dares to have anything to do with them.
Looking at the closed door, the queen felt resentful and angry.
She knew that she was bound to die, and she was prepared to die. But the only one she couldn't worry about was Yu Cheng.
Fortunately, Yu Cheng was not involved in their plan, and he had royal blood, so he would not be implicated.
But it was unclear whether he was alive or dead, and she could not close her eyes even if he died.
Furthermore, she wanted to know who hurt Yu Cheng. Even if she couldn't avenge Yu Cheng while she was alive, she would have to settle the score with that person even after she died!
The queen waited patiently. If she and Cao Muxue ended up like this, Concubine Yu and Xie Wanruo would definitely come to see their jokes and add insult to injury.
The chamberlain didn’t know who Yu Cheng was hurt by, but Concubine Yu Gui and Xie Wanruo must know!
Time in the cold palace seemed to pass extremely slowly. The queen sat in the courtyard, looking at the sky and the courtyard gate, feeling anxious and uneasy.
After Yu Zheng and Zhou Boxu took charge of the trial of Cao Qian's case, they were extremely busy.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, they wanted to wipe out all of Cao Qian's gang members and bring order to the cause.
Master Cao's disciples made inquiries in the west and found out about the crimes committed by the Cao family. They all couldn't believe it. They all believed that the Cao family had been wronged and wanted to go to Dali Temple to beat drums and complain.
Fortunately, there was a sober person who said: "The Cao family is powerful and deep-rooted. If there are unfounded charges, no one will speak up in the court. In my opinion, this matter needs to be cautious, and we should find out the facts before making any plans."
Someone then reacted: "Yes, if he is unjustly accused, the prince will not stand idly by. Besides, Mr. Cao is also quite powerful in the court, so it is impossible for no one to redress the injustice."
"Then you mean that Master Cao's regicide and rebellion is true?"
Everyone looked at each other and fell silent after exchanging glances.
Although they are disciples of Grand Master Cao and have some affinity with the Cao family, they can avenge the Cao family's strength. But the premise is that the Cao family is really wronged.
If the charges are true and the person cannot be saved, but he is involved in the crime, then the gain outweighs the loss.
A few enlightening words calmed down everyone's impulsive emotions and they no longer dared to act rashly.
It doesn't matter that they themselves are implicated, but they also have family members.
The sky was sunny yesterday, but it suddenly changed today.
Yu Zheng went out early and came back late, spending almost the whole day in Dali Temple.
Zhou Boxu and Xie Qi'an cooperated with Yu Zheng and uncovered a series of criminal evidence against Cao Qian and Cao's family.
If the Xie family had some scruples before, but after Cao Qian was captured and Cao Muxue and the queen blatantly attacked Xie Wanruo, the Xie family put aside everything.
Five days later, the case of Cao Qian's regicide and treason case was not only not concluded, but the investigation went further and further, and the trial became wider and wider.
