Zhao Yuan didn't seem to notice anything, lowered his head, intently took the medicine and blew it, and said casually: "No need to be polite, Cheng Aiqing retreat." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Cheng Xin didn't believe his ears - he could leave so easily?

But maybe that's how God favors you?

Thinking so, Cheng Xin slowly stepped back and exited the door, just wanting to breathe a sigh of relief. Dozens of steel knives had reached his neck.

Cheng Xin was shocked: "You...... You are ......."

Zhao Yuan looked cold at this time, put the medicine bowl on the table heavily, and said with a somewhat complicated emotion: "I asked the palace maid to pretend to be Sun Meiren to stay inside, originally thinking of using this situation to lure out other assassins, but I didn't expect that the prey captured was actually you-Dang Chaoyipin, my right-hand man!" ”

"So everything that happened last night is logical, the assassin can accurately know my whereabouts, and he also appeared accurately when the guards changed guards, and after the assassination of Sun Meiren failed, he immediately committed suicide, leaving no clues, the purpose is to protect Lord Cheng who appears around me every day!"

Cheng Xin already understood at this time that in the face of such a shrewd person as Zhao Yuan, it would be useless for God to favor him.

But he still said unwillingly: "Your Majesty, the minister is doing this, precisely because the minister remembers his duties, and he can't watch you indulge in beauty and waste state affairs!" ”

Zhao Yuan sneered: "What a duty as a minister, the duty of a minister is to carry a knife and come to assassinate without my consent, is it to take the lives of the people around me?" ”

Cheng Xin knew that at this point, there was no point in him denying it, and the most important thing now was how he explained his motives to Zhao Yuan.

If he doesn't make a defense, then he can make all kinds of interpretations, and it is certain that they will be very unfavorable to him, if he insists that it is for the sake of the country's society, no matter how Zhao Yuan deals with him in the end, his family will be hurt less, and it is very likely that it will not be affected by this matter.

In the current situation, he is definitely the best choice for the sake of the Great Qi Society.

Of course, Zhao Yuan understood that this was Cheng Xinxin's exculpation, but after he learned that Yun Yang returned, it was also a fact that he immediately went to the state affairs to pick her up in the north in person, if Cheng Xin bit this point, although it would not change the fact that Cheng Xin would die, but it would bring a lot of trouble to Yun Yang to enter Hanyang Palace.

"At this point, why should you make useless quibbles?" Zhao Yuan slowly opened his mouth: "If you want to protect your family, I can give you a word, I have not forgotten everything you have estimated for Daqi over the years." Even if you want to kill my woman in front of me, I will not embarrass your family, because you have sacrificed a son for me, and no one can replace this. ”

As soon as he mentioned his only son, Cheng Xin's mood completely collapsed. He fell to his knees with his hands tied, and began to cry on the ground. He himself knows that it is precisely because of his son's premature death that he feels that the future is hopeless, so he will let his actions go. If his son were still alive, he might not be attracted to the queen's beauty, and he would not do stupid things that he would be willing to be favored by her.

Zhao Yuan looked at Cheng Xin, whose sideburns were already frosted, and burst into tears in front of him, and a trace of guilt suddenly surged in his heart.

Back then, when he and Cheng Xin were both teenagers, the two rode horses together on the grasslands of northern Qi. At that time, they were directing the country and were ambitious, drinking together and getting drunk together...... Now it seems that Cheng Xin has followed him all his life, enjoying prosperity and wealth, but in the end he is still not happy, and he can even be described as living like a year.

Is it all his own fault? Zhao Yuan couldn't give himself a positive answer.

"Alright, take him down!" Zhao Yuan felt extremely lost.

When the two guards put Cheng Kexin up and dragged him out, Zhao Yuan frowned again and said, "It's not right for Cheng Kexin to be punished...... Just imprison him. ”

The guards were stunned when they heard this, they knew that this was an assassin, or was he murdered under the eyes of the emperor, and the emperor still had to be polite to him?

Although they were full of doubts, they still slowed down the movements of their subordinates a little, trying not to let Cheng Xin get hurt.

Zhao Yuan looked at the empty room and was stunned for a moment.

Here, the guards from the inner room came out and said: "Back to the emperor, the palace maid in the inner room has died of anger, and she was killed by someone who used internal force to hurt her internal organs. ”

Zhao Yuan nodded: "Buried it." Give more money to his family. ”

The guard stepped back.

Zhao Yuan took a big stride at this time and walked towards the room where Yun Yang was.

As soon as he entered the door, the imperial doctor happily came over and reported: "Back to the emperor, Sun Meiren's pulse is stable, and she is already safe." I was sober for a while just now, drank half a bowl of porridge and drank the decoction. The body recovered a little faster than expected. ”

Hearing the news, a glimmer of sunshine finally appeared on Zhao Yuan's cloudy face: "If it is really as you say, after returning to Beijing, I will definitely reward you heavily!" ”

After saying this, he couldn't stop rushing to Yunyang's side for a moment.

After holding her hand, I really felt that the palm of her hand was not as cold as last night, but had become warm and soft.

Zhao Yuan felt uncomfortable in his chest for a while, gently pulled Yun Yang's hand over and rubbed it on his cheek, and said in a low voice: "No matter what, I will not let you leave again, even if I do everything I can, I will protect your peace, and I will never be separated from you again in this life and this life." ”

The emperor's appearance has never been seen by the imperial doctor or the palace maid. In their hearts, the emperor has never been angry and arrogant, calm and resolute. Today's emperor, like a universal man, guards his beloved, with uneasy worries, with a thousand turns of affection, muttering about his reluctance.

It seems that this Sun Meiren is definitely not an ordinary favored person, but a person that the emperor really cares about.

The reaction of the imperial physician and the palace maid was not surprising, because before leaving Beijing, Zhao Yuan had already thought about letting Yunyang enter the palace as a newcomer, so the people he brought with him this time were all selected to enter the palace after Yunyang's disappearance. From the guards to the imperial doctors, to the palace maids, they have never seen the real person of the concubine, so as soon as they saw Yunyang, they all regarded her as a beauty from the northern Xinjiang, and no one doubted it.

At this time, seeing that the emperor whispered so affectionately to Sun Meiren, the imperial doctor and the palace maid were also quite emotional. They exchanged glances and quietly withdrew. Leave time alone for this infatuated man and woman. Although the environment here is simple and cannot be compared with the palace, the opportunity for them to be alone is precious.
