Then the Emperor's voice sounded: "Bring a copy of that mural and hang it in the Donghua Pavilion. I want to see it every day."

Han Ling bowed his head and took the order.

A eunuch kept a sufficient distance, leading the way ahead, his footsteps falling on the massive stone bricks without a sound. They were people accustomed to discretion and humility, living with reverence in this grand palace.
Jiang Wang walked behind leisurely, with an extraordinary bearing.
Every step I take, click, click, click.
Walking through the magnificent palace, in blue robes and with a sword at his side, he moves with ease. Who wouldn't call him a dashing young man
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
However, when the sound of his own footsteps echoed lonely in the vast palace, like a drumbeat falling on his heart, Jiang Wang couldn't help but think—
The emperor back then...
Does anyone know the truth about the assassination of Concubine Lei
Even, he walked all the way from Xuanwu Street to the palace.
Throughout this journey, the surface has been calm. How turbulent have things been beneath it Is it perhaps the emperor's subtle pressure on certain individuals
The position of the ruler is related to the foundation of the country.
In the thirty-eighth year of Emperor Yuan's reign, the former crown prince was imprisoned, the new crown prince had just been established, and Loulan Gong's rebellion had only just been quelled.

From the emperor's point of view.
Lady Lei committed suicide and it's not a pity.
Empress He seized the opportunity and used someone else to do her dirty work. Although it was a retaliation, she was still responsible for the consequences. After the incident, in order to cover up the truth, she forced Lin Xiang to death, which was an undeniable crime. Why did Dazetian clan serve as Empress He's weapon They were suspected of selling out the Crown Prince and interfering in the succession struggle. Their wickedness was evident.
What would have happened if the truth had been revealed back then
First, Empress He would inevitably be deposed.
What kind of intense competition will arise when the back position suddenly becomes vacant
This kind of struggle is beyond the control of anyone, including the emperor himself. Because there's only one empress position, and so many people are vying for it.
It's not just about finding anyone to sit there.
More importantly...
When Empress He was deposed, the Crown Prince naturally had to be deposed as well.
Within just a few years, the Crown Prince was repeatedly deposed and reinstated. Even if taken in isolation, this act would be foolish enough to destabilize the country. Even worse, it happened during a time when the turmoil caused by the Loulan Rebellion had only just subsided.
Furthermore, the Oze family has always been a top-ranking family in the state of Qi, with deep roots in both military and government affairs. They are an integral part of Qi's strength itself. In that era, to hold them accountable would be akin to weakening one's own muscles during a time of national instability.
Having just quelled the chaos caused by Loulan in Qi, is it appropriate to depose the empress, the crown prince, and hold Field Clan accountable
...the former prince in Qing Shi Palace, had only just been imprisoned for three years...

The aftereffects are still lingering!
The Emperor had too many reasons to be silent back then.
Actually, if you think about it carefully.
Why, despite having been the Crown Prince in the East Palace for so many years, is the current heir still so cautious and reserved
For so many years as the crown prince, he has not truly been recognized by the court and the people as the future monarch of Qi.
For so many years as the prince, one after another, Huaying Palace, Yaxin Palace, and Changsheng Palace rose.

Is there any influence from that incident back then in this
Think about it again.
The nine clans of Daqi have all fallen, and now the Tazawa clan is the only one who hasn't taken command of an army.

In the Political Affairs Hall, currently there is no seat for Lord Oze.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!
This is one of the top aristocratic families in Qi State. They have overseas territories spanning two islands, rivaling any other family. Their involvement in Qi State's highest power is too weak...
Even Gaochang Marquis Tian Xili and Xuanhuai Marquis Liu Yingqi recently quarreled at a grand ceremony, they were directly stripped of their clothes and whipped by the emperor's order...
Lord Xuan's whipping was a mere trifle. What status does Lord Gao Chang hold
If the emperor had known the truth all those years ago, then this prolonged inaction on the case could, in a way, be seen as an act of respect given to Jiang Wuqidi.
This case is not public, and Lei Gui Fei can still be the emperor's cherished concubine. Jiang Wuqi is still the son most beloved by the emperor.
If this case were to be made public, then Lady Lei would be a victim of her own making and Lady Jiang Wukui's son would be deemed the criminal.
The Concubine Lei was bold and reckless, but after all, Jiang Wuqi was innocent...
But even with so many reasons to support it, even though we can analyze so much.
Jiang Wang still couldn't be sure if the Emperor Qi had known the truth back then.
These analyses are based on certain assumptions.
But the emperor's heart was like the sea, unfathomable.
But at least one thing is clear——
Today, Jiang Wang walks on thin ice, traversing an invisible line. With abysses on either side, he has given everyone the maximum explanation he could offer. But how is this so-called proper measure not a line drawn by the emperor
>
The emperor remained silent, but the line was there, clear and visible.
Jiang Wang was indeed eloquent and outspoken in De Lu Palace, yet would he dare to cross that line Would he dare mention the Empress even once
He could only speak of the Feng Gu case, only of the Gongsun Yu case, only of the Lin Kuang case.

This is a tricky one! It seems you're asking me to translate the content within HTML tags, but I can only understand and translate plain text. Could you please provide the text content you'd like translated I'm happy to help once I have the words!
He kept all his promises.
As for truly revealing the truth behind the assassination of Empress Lei... he couldn't do it.
> Please provide me with the text you would like me to translate. I can help with that!
It is not a matter of evidence being lost.
Once the truth has been grasped, seeking corresponding evidence is certainly no more difficult than what Uriel accomplished in seventeen years.
Jiang Wang confidently believed he could find more evidence.
But that is all.
Everything I have done today is already the current limit.
Or, it is the limit permitted by the Son of Heaven.
In these days of swirling chaos, so many have died, and so much has happened. So many people have thrown themselves into the fray, creating ripples that spread for miles...
Only the emperor sat still in the depths of his palace, doing nothing and saying nothing. But all things were within the scope of the emperor's silent gaze.
Never exceeded a single point.
Seventeen years ago, it was let go lightly. Seventeen years later, who to knock on and to what extent... Heaven decides.
All people can only struggle within the bounds set by the Son of Heaven.
Whether it's Beiya, Jiang Wang, or several palace masters, not even the current Empress!
Just like this magnificent and imposing palace, though it speaks not a word, it constantly proclaims that the Son of Heaven is the sole supreme ruler of this great empire.
Therefore, Jiang Wang said that if he were to take a position at the Northern Palace, he would be a Northern Palace Commandant who wouldn't know how to measure his words.
...and the emperor naturally refused.
He was not given a chance to be impartial, he was given freedom.
The magnificent palace gradually faded behind them, and amidst the complex gazes of people, both intentional and unintentional, Jiang Wang walked through the capital city and returned to Yaoguang Fang, back to their own residence.
"Oh, so you're off to Chu You stormed into the palace with such bravado, and now you come crawling back"
Chong Xuan Sheng had taken over his yard again and sneered, "Don't you run quickly Why come back to pack things What's there of value in your home anyway I brought everything valuable."
Jiang Wang stopped packing her luggage and glared back: “Chongxuan, you're being a little too harsh!”
Heavy Xuan Sheng stood there, his whole body almost filling the doorway. He let out a grunt and said: "Isn't it stabbing your lungs"
What does it have to do with the lungs
Zhong Xuan coldly laughed: "The lungs belong to the element of metal in the Five Elements, so it's most suitable for you to suffer."
Jiang Wang: ...
I just grabbed some common tea leaves and medicine, and I'm too lazy to pack anything else.
After all, Chong Xuan Sheng was telling the truth.
Take the storage box, turn around and walk to Chong Xuan's side, reaching out his hand and saying: "Give me some cash."
“The Second Master of the prestigious De Sheng Chamber of Commerce, who hasn't spent a few days at home all year!”
Chong Xuan rolled his eyes, complaining as he went to touch the storage box: "You don't listen to good advice and insist on seeking the truth. If the Tian family interferes, our overseas business will collapse! Do you understand Yes, the emperor supports you, but you are wasting his patience once again. And have you thought about Chang Le Palace Do you really need to clash with the Crown Prince Try using your brain occasionally instead of just focusing on cultivation…"
Jiang Wang repeatedly soothed, "Alright alright, Brother Sheng, I've learned my lesson. I wasn't trying to avoid trouble, it was just an emergency..."
Zhong Xuan took out a bag of ten yuan stones and put some back in, muttering to himself, "Wait until things settle down here and I'll come back quickly. Don't cause trouble in Chu State, okay That's their territory..."
“Understood, understood, Brother Sheng. I’ve taken your wise words to heart…” Jiang Wang said in a good-natured voice, taking the stone from Yuan Shi and putting it into his storage pouch. His whole demeanor lifted, he abruptly cut off the conversation and said crisply, “Let’s go!”
And then, without saying goodbye to anyone, he just left like that.
When Lin Youxie opened his eyes, all he saw was darkness.
Thinking it was probably night, I instinctively got up and pulled back the curtains, only to notice that the door was open and light was streaming in from outside.
It seems that dawn has broken.

It felt like I had slept for a long time, so after a moment of daze, the memories before falling asleep came rushing back.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
> Jiang Wang...
Lin Youxie lowered his head to look at his wrist and found no shackles.
My physical condition is also very good, I have not been injured, and the confinement has disappeared.
And once again, confirmed, he was indeed staying in his own home...safe.
Then he suddenly stood up and ran out the door!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
The distance from the old Lin family mansion to Yaoguangfang is certainly not a short one.
Lin Youxie walked on the bustling street, and for some reason, he still felt a little dazed.
She had already confirmed it in her own way. The people who were watching her, the ones she'd discovered, seemed to have vanished.
She even couldn't help but wonder, wasn't it all just a dream
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Did she not tell Jiang Wang about the plan She didn't go to the autopsy that day, no murder weapon was found at the door, and Old Wu didn't die, so Jiang Wang naturally didn't knock her unconscious...
but it won't be a dream.
Lin Youxie felt his own body, gaining true clues within it. He confirmed everything.
She quickened her pace.
Walking through the crowd, observing every person's expression and behavior, inferring their mood and occupation, guessing what they would do next... This was her usual pastime, of course, she had no heart for it today.
She was only thinking about...
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
What does Jiang Wang want to do
She stopped, even her steps becoming a little frantic... They had arrived at the Jiang residence.
Lin Youxie wasn't visiting the Jiang family for the first time. This residence of the newly wealthy from Linzi was more impressive with each visit, naturally thanks to the generous and wealthy young master from the Chongxuan family.
"I want to see Jiang Wang," she said directly to the doorman.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Perhaps my expression looked a little grim, giving off some pressure. He went to deliver the message with a hint of apprehension.
Lin Youxie thought this way, controlling his emotions.
After a short while, the steward of Jiang's household came out.
This is just an ordinary person, not extraordinary. However, when facing Lin Youxie, he remained undaunted: "Sir, it's really unfortunate, the master has gone out!"
“Have you left” Lin Youxie looked into his eyes, confirming that it wasn't an excuse, and then asked, “When will you be back”
“I don’t know about that,” said the butler. “When the lord returns, it's not up to me to decide.”
>
Where did he go
“You’re joking, sir. Are you going to report where the lord goes”
Jiang Wang went out of town, he probably left in a hurry...
Lin Youxie quickly made a judgment in his mind, and then there was a feeling of relaxation or loss that hovered around his heart, faint and elusive.
Just then, another male voice rang out from beside him: "Isn't Jiang Wang here"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
A man dressed in black walked up.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Her aura was cold and aloof, exhaustion evident in her brow.
"Only the head steward of the Jiang residence replied, "Young Master Yang, our master is indeed not at home right now. Do you have anything to leave"
Yang Jing!
The moment Lin Youxie heard the name, another voice echoed from afar, rushing closer and closer behind him.
"Vice-envoy Lin! I've finally found you!"
Zheng Shangming's voice...
When Lin Youxie turned around, his expression had calmed down: “Zheng Da Ren, what do you need from me”
"No need." Yang Jing threw that phrase to the steward of the Jiang Residence and then turned to leave.
Zheng Shangming hurried over. Before he could speak to Lin Youxie, he raised his hand again: "Hey, Young Master Yang, wait a moment!"
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Yang Jing turned back coldly, "What is it"
Zheng Shangming first gave Lin Youxie a reassuring look, then said to Yang Jing: “The murderer who killed Gongsun Yu has been captured by the Northern Court!”
"What" Lin Youxie subconsciously opened his mouth. Yang Jing's brow also furrowed into a "river" character.
Obviously, nobody seems to believe this.
But Zheng Shangming's expression was very serious: "You didn't hear wrong, the murderer who killed Gongsun Yu has confessed and been punished. Young Master Yang, we have all seen your efforts for your friend these days. Fortunately, the net of heaven is vast and nothing escapes it, Gongsun Yu is in heaven and can finally rest in peace. You can finally rest too."
Yang Jing naturally knew that since Zheng Shangming could say it to this extent, then the one who was going to be punished must definitely be the murderer who directly killed Gongsun Yu. There would be no mistake about this.
>
As for what happened after... there wasn't anything after. There was only one perpetrator.
As for whether that person had a grudge against Gongsun Yu or simply happened to pass by Biwu County that night and was in a bad mood... it doesn't really matter. Logical reasons can always be fabricated.
Being able to throw out the killer to take responsibility, Yang Jing, who had been hitting a wall these days, naturally knew how difficult it was to achieve.
“The efficiency of the Beiyuan's crime-solving impressed Yang Ce.” Yang Jing had always been a clear-headed person, perhaps only momentarily 'confused' after Gongsun Yu's death.
He should be awake now.
So he bowed and turned to leave.
“Young Master Yang doesn’t intend to see the culprit with his own eyes” Zheng Shangming asked behind him.
“No need.” Yang Jing said without turning back, “Just send me a message when it’s done. I have much to attend to at home, so I must go!”
He took big strides and walked very quickly.
Not like a winner.
“Alright!”
Zheng Shangming watched Yang Jing leave, then turned back to Lin Youxie, his voice filled with a hint of melancholy: "Lin Deputy Envoy, I actually came mainly to see you today. When I went to your mansion, you weren't home. Later, I heard that you were heading this way, so I chased after you..."
Lin Youxie just looked at him faintly, waiting for his next words.
This will be a new paragraph.
Zheng Shangming continued, "The emperor ordered a thorough investigation into the suicide case of Lin Kuang back then. We urgently visited dozens of senior blue-plaque members, 19 of whom were eyewitnesses to the incident back then. In the end, it proved that Lin Kuang had not made a mistake back then, Tian Fen was actually an undercover agent from Pingdanguo. Lin Kuang didn't commit suicide out of fear of responsibility, but for the honor of the blue-plaque society, he single-handedly took on all the blame..."
Lin Youxie's eyes shifted from surprise to sadness, then suddenly seemed to come to a realization.
An equal nation is a big basket where you can put anything.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Even this chance to "be put in a box," wasn't something she fought for herself...
“The Imperial Decree states, ‘National Scholars should not be treated lightly.’ Lin Kuang is posthumously titled as Tianluo Bo, and Wulie as Dizhi Bo. Their spiritual positions will be enshrined at the Capital Inspection Office, and all Blue Plate Officers are to venerate them for generations!”
Throughout history, expanding territory has been the foremost merit, and many have been awarded titles for this achievement.
Solving cases and dispensing justice are far from easy.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Jiang Qingyang also received a title for his military achievements, but it had nothing to do with his blue token.
Never before in ancient times has anyone been granted a knighthood through such merit as the Blue Card.
Lin Qing and Wu Lei, this is the first case.
Of course, that's very glorious.
But Lin Youxie increasingly felt a sense of disorientation, his eyes heavy with something that seemed to want to fall.
And Zheng Shangming's voice continued: "The emperor bestowed a personally inscribed plaque, 'Twin Stars of the Azure Board'..."
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Stareing blankly at the "Jiang" character on the plaque above the Jiang residence gate, she felt that voice had already become very distant.
Genius one second: m.173kxsw Chongguang had spoken, all authority on the Tianya Stage belonged to him. Hai Jingping silently stepped aside and stopped speaking.Jiang Wang looked at this world-renowned expert who was radiant with...
