Shi Che had said in the letter that he would not investigate the person who sent the letter. The Emperor agreed.

He was not a bad person if he wanted to bring those filthy officials out of the capital. He did not have any bad intentions and did not think of abusing the power. If he investigated, it might bring trouble to him, so he decided to not do it.

He had already sent quite several people to Lizhou and had given his younger brother the right to take advantage of the situation. His younger brother had also mobilized the nearby military horses to help. His younger brother had not ntioned in his letter that he lacked manpower. Therefore, he did not think of sending more of his n there, having trust that his younger brother knew what he was doing.

Shi Yuan then closed the letter from his brother.

It was also at this mont that he heard the head eunuch outside bowing to his wife, Empress Tuoba. Then, his wife walked in.

“Your Majesty.” Empress Tuoba bowed.

“Why are you here?” Shi Yuan quickly ca down from behind the table and held his wife’s hand. Then, they sat on the bed under the window.

Usually, his wife would not co to the royal study because she was afraid of disturbing him when he was dealing with state affairs.

However, such matters called for his attention.

The chief eunuch hurriedly called for the palace maids to serve tea.

“There’s one thing that I hope the Emperor can agree to,” Empress Tuoba smiled.

“What is it?”

“Today, so of the won ca to the palace to drink tea with as usual. One of them was the Pri Minister’s wife. Although the Pri Minister has been imprisoned, her official position has not been taken away. She is still a first-grade official. Just now, when everyone left, she was unwilling to leave. She cried and told that she wanted to see you and that the Pri Minister was wronged.”

Shi Yuan was silent for a mont before he sighed. “Dou Chen didn’t even say that he was innocent or guilty. He’ll admit to anything no matter what we interrogate him for. I asked him myself a few tis, and his answer was always the sa. Especially when I asked him if he had anything on Qiu Pusheng, he said he didn’t. Qiu Pusheng didn’t want him to say anything. He even laughed and said that Dou Chen would kill sooner or later.”

Dou Chen was Pri Minister Dou.

When Shi Yuan first passed through, Dou Chen was just the son of a sixth-grade official. Later, when Shi Yuan went to war on behalf of the Emperor, Dou Chen blocked his way and volunteered to serve him.

At that ti, Dou Chen was only 16 years old, but his eyes were filled with light. He was extrely energetic and a high-spirited boy. He had a rough background, and the Imperial City was filled with dignitaries. No one looked up to him at all and belittled him everywhere he went… It was Dou Chen’s expression at that ti that infected him, and he agreed.

At first, he didn’t trust Dou Chen. After all, he had only t Dou Chen a few tis. Later on, Dou Chen would always be at the forefront of the battlefield to protect him. In addition, Dou Chen had seen Zhuo Yuan and shared many of his interests. They had similar interests. Slowly, they beca good friends.

Moreover, Dou Chen had also made many military achievents. Therefore, after the previous Pri Minister was caught having trouble, he promoted Dou Chen to Pri Minister.

He trusted Dou Chen very much. Ever since he had beco friends with Dou Chen, he had never thought that Dou Chen would betray him. At this mont, he firmly believed that Dou Chen had not betrayed him. He believed that Dou Chen had no choice but to help a tyrant commit evil deeds. He had caused the commoners in Lizhou to suffer for so long, but Dou Chen had completely given up on speaking up for him and was bent on seeking death.

He wanted to know what that weakness was.

However, Dou Chen and Qiu Pusheng didn’t say anything and only the two of them knew the answer. He had no choice.

Seeing her husband sigh, Empress Tuoba gently held her husband’s hand and smiled. “I heard from the Pri Minister’s wife that she has evidence. Even if she can’t prove that the Pri Minister is completely innocent, she can at least prove that the Pri Minister’s cri doesn’t warrant death.”
