"Now that rumors are spreading in the palace, Imperial Noble Consort Li's reputation is damaged.”
"Cao Zhengchun, I order you to investigate the person who spread the rumors and prove Imperial Noble Consort Li's innocence. Can you do it?”
Cao Zhengchun was shocked when he met Shangguan Lin's cold gaze. He quickly lowered his head and said," Your Majesty, don't worry. I will do my best to investigate and bring all the people behind the scenes to justice."”
When he saw Shangguan Lin's merciless gaze, Cao Zhengchun knew.
Although the Emperor was saying that he wanted to clear Imperial Noble Consort Li's name, the implication was that he wanted to investigate all the people and things related to Imperial Noble Consort Li.
The eunuchs and palace maids that Imperial Consort Li had won over in the palace, as well as all the officials in the court who had contact with the Li Clan, were all on the list of people to be investigated.
The Emperor was going to kill him!
The East Chamber had been suppressed for so many years.
However, he still had the most basic understanding of the various parties in the court.
The Li Clan, led by Li Wenbo and Imperial Consort Li, was the largest party in the imperial court.
Even Cao Zhengchun couldn't help but sigh at the emperor's boldness. He had just ascended the throne and dared to attack the largest party.
However, these were none of his business and were not things he should consider.
This was the first task the new Emperor had given him. Only by doing it well and satisfying the Emperor would his days be stable.
If he was not satisfied, the Emperor would find someone to replace him at any time.
At this moment, Shangguan Lin put down the pen in his hand and said in a deep voice,""Cao Zhengchun, accept the decree."
"This servant is here."
"Today, the East Chamber has been reinstated. The East Chamber has the right to investigate all illegal matters inside and outside the palace.”
"This servant receives the decree to thank you."
Wang Wen took the imperial edict from Shangguan Lin and placed it in Cao Zhengchun's hands. Cao Zhengchun received it respectfully.
The East Chamber had been deposed for many years, and many officials in the court no longer cared about the East Chamber.
Many ministers would not even care about the East Chamber's investigation.
The decree that Shangguan Lin gave Cao Zhengchun today was a symbol.
Once the imperial edict was issued, if there was still disobedience, it would be the crime of disobedience!
............
After leaving the royal study, Cao Zhengchun turned around to look at the palace. Then, he looked up at the blue sky and took a deep breath.
Unknowingly, his back was already drenched in cold sweat.
The pressure from the young emperor was too great, he didn't dare to disobey.
Looking at the imperial edict in his hand, Cao Zhengchun squeezed it tightly and a cold smile appeared on his face.
The East Military Hall had been silent for six years. No one would remember its former glory.
Now that he had this imperial edict, he had nothing to fear.
He, Cao Zhengchun, wanted to be the sharpest knife in the Emperor's hand, killing everyone in the world.
......
Cao Zhengchun acted quickly. As soon as he returned to the East Chamber, he issued various orders.
Although it was already late, the East Chamber did not dare to delay for even a moment and began their operation that night.
The former eunuch Liu Xi left Yanxi Palace and returned to his residence.
Liu Xi was filled with grief and indignation when his power was cut today.
There was no one here. As he drank, he spoke of his dissatisfaction with the current emperor.
These were all treasonous words. Once they spread, Liu Xi's entire family would be executed!
He only dared to be so presumptuous when he was alone.
Suddenly, Liu Xi felt a pain in the back of his neck and lost consciousness.
When he woke up, he found himself in the imperial prison.
Liu Xi struggled for a while and found himself tied to a huge log.
There was no one in the prison. There was a brazier burning fiercely on the ground in front of them.
A few branding irons were placed in the brazier, and they were already burning red.
From time to time, the brazier would make crackling sounds and burst out a few pieces of charcoal.
Liu Xi looked around the cell and saw a wooden table under the left wall. The table was filled with instruments of torture such as sticks, knives, daggers, and whips.
There were also some larger instruments of torture on the ground beside the table.
The tiger stool, the iron chair, and the sharp barbs on the cat's claws made Liu Xi's heart turn cold.
"Someone, where are we? Hurry up and let me go."
Liu Xi shouted," Do you know who we are? If the Imperial Noble Consort finds out, she will not spare you!”
"What an arrogant tone, Eunuch Liu.”
Cao Zhengchun walked in from outside the cell, followed by four eunuchs.
A eunuch brought a chair over and asked Cao Zhengchun to sit down facing Liu Xi.
"Who are you? Do you know what crime it is to kidnap an official of the imperial court?”
Liu Xi shouted loudly.
After six years, he no longer knew Cao Zhengchun.
"We are the Imperial Noble Consort's people. If you dare to offend us, we will make you suffer!”
"Hurry up and let me go. I can still plead for you in front of the Empress and let you live!”
"Haha."
"Official of the Imperial Court?"
Cao Zhengchun shook his head and sneered." You're just a powerless eunuch. What kind of official are you?”
"It seems that Eunuch Liu still doesn't know where we are.”
"Little Xuan, let him know the rules.”
"Yes, godfather. I understand."
A young eunuch walked to the wooden table and picked up the whip.
Seeing this, Liu Xi was even more afraid. His tone was already trembling." You, what do you want to do? I'm warning you, don't do anything rash!"
