In fact, all of you here are smart people, who doesn't understand what the hell is going on tonight? But it is precisely because of understanding that there is nothing to say. Qin Xie and his family were speechless to Xiao Qianye, but the Duke of E was disappointed in Xiao Qianye. But what about disappointment? Even if he knew that he might have been used by Nangong Mo tonight, Eguo Gong had no way to get angry at all. It's really my son-in-law, this thing is too tasteless. I can't turn my face with him like before. Now that his daughter is the queen and his grandson is the eldest son of the emperor, it can be said that the honor and disgrace of the Yuan family are tied to Xiao Qianye, and it is no longer as simple as just marrying a daughter before.

Sighing, Eguo said fairly: "Let's send the county lord to rest first, and find a doctor to take a look." Let's go and say hello to the eldest princess. ”

The crowd replied in unison, "As it should be." ”

Princess Changping was not injured, but was just a little frightened by a few black-clothed people who broke into the courtyard. When he sat in the hall and talked to Princess Lingyi, his face was still pale and pale. Princess Lingyi was in a hurry, and said angrily: "Fifth sister, what the hell is going on?" Who was so bold as to break into the Yanwang Mansion in Jinling City? ”

Princess Changping smiled bitterly and said lightly: "Who knows." Ever since Jun'er was arrested and put in prison, there have always been people watching around the Yanwang Mansion. Today's events are not unexpected. I'm not afraid of death when I'm old, but I'm still so young with Flawless and Blazing."

"What stupid thing is the fifth sister!" Princess Lingyi frowned and said, "When the morning dawns, I will enter the palace and ask His Majesty and the Queen Mother, they don't care about the safety of our princesses!" There is something wrong with the fifth sister, Jun Mo can't be, do you know something secret? Well, how could he kill people if he had no grievances with the prince of Zhou and the king of Anjun? ”

Princess Changping sighed and said: "Who said no, Jun'er's temperament is a little colder, but I still know who my son is." When he made a fuss like that in the Jingjiang County Palace, did he move those fingers? What's more, he didn't even say a word to the two slain children."

Princess Lingyi had a cold face and said, "Don't ask a word, just lock people in the prison, what do you want to do in Qianye?" ”

Princess Changping grabbed Princess Lingyi and said, "Seventh sister, that one is now His Majesty, don't call him by his name." Princess Lingyi rolled her eyes, and knew that Princess Changping was reminding herself not to shout outside. nodded and said, "I know, that is, I will talk about it here with the fifth sister." But this thing is really a little strange, is it just to watch Jun'er being wronged by them? ”

Princess Changping said in a deep voice: "If this is the case, even if I fight to the death, I will ask Your Majesty to spare your life." ”

Princess Lingyi sighed and said, "Now is not the time for my father to be here, and I don't know how useful we are princesses." If I really can't find evidence, I will go with the fifth sister to ask His Majesty. "Although the father is cold and strict, but they are their own daughters, as long as they do not violate the taboo of the father, the father still has a little love for them. But when they arrived at Xiao Qianye, their seniority had gone up, and it was difficult to say how much respect the nephew had for his aunt at that time.

"Thank you, Fifth Sister."

In the courtyard on the other side, Nangong Mo, who everyone thought should be lying on the bed and fell asleep, changed his clothes and sat in the study energetically to listen to the room.

"So how many lives are left?" Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and said.

Fang nodded and said: "The county lord has a good time, we have left three alive, do you want to let people interrogate them now." ”

Nangong Mo nodded slightly, and said nonchalantly: "It's not very likely that you can get anything from these people's mouths." But as long as Xiao Qianye knows that we still have a living mouth in our hands, it is enough. These people may be desperate and bite and refuse to say anything, but Xiao Qianye may not believe that they can keep their mouths shut. ”

Lin Changfeng frowned, and said with some doubts: "Miss Mo, I still don't understand what your plan is for doing this. ”

Nangong Mo sighed and said, "Xiao Qianye will not let Jun Mo go unless it is absolutely necessary." I just want him to figure it out for himself and release him by himself. ”

"What kind of grudge do Xiao Qianye and Jun Mo have?" Lin Changfeng couldn't help but have a black line, isn't it just that when he was a child, there have been a few conflicts that are not big or small in this year, Xiao Qianye is like a mad dog and has to bite tightly. He even didn't hesitate to send a killer to slaughter the Yan Wangfu, right?

"Miss Mo, you shouldn't have done anything to make Xiao Qianye anxious, right?" Lin Changfeng didn't know about Wei Junmo's birthday, so naturally he couldn't help but wonder. Even if Xiao Qianye didn't like Wei Junmo, he could wait until his throne was stable before making a move, why should he be as ugly as he is now. People who don't know are afraid that the ten ** people will think that Xiao Qianye is crazy.

Knowing that someone might take his place as emperor, as long as the emperor is eight, he will be crazy. If it was Nangong Mo's previous life, he might have come over with a smile when he heard that kind of news. But this world is just a time when the prophecy of the destiny of those who have done it is like a god.

Nangong Mo glanced at him, "Then it should be me who is in the prison now." ”

"Okay." Lin Changfeng sighed, "Do you think Xiao Qianye will be threatened by you?" ”

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and said, "If he doesn't want to be more unlucky, it's better to listen to me." ”

"What else do you have in his hand?" Lin Changfeng's eyes lit up and he asked with interest.

Nangong Mo smiled and said nothing, and Changfeng Gongzi had to touch his nose.

Early in the morning, as soon as I got out of Xiao Qianye's imperial study, I was asked to see him one after another. First of all, the Duke of Eguo, although his words were vague, he did lose with dissatisfaction, and then mentioned the matter of the Yan Wangfu to analyze the current power of the Yan King and the Qi King, and said that the first emperor had just died, and the eldest princess was his aunt's love

The eldest princess's affection for his aunt and so on. Xiao Qianye has not yet eased his breath, and the heads of several families have also repeatedly asked to see, although they are not as polite as the Duke of Eguo, but they are still the things that the Yan Wangfu has given to them. Further down, officials such as the Tianfu Yamen, the Five Cities Terracotta Division, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple also wrote books to request strict investigations. When Xiao Qianye finally sent these people away, and the Queen Mother also came with Princess Lingyi and Princess Changping, Xiao Qianye's head was swollen and persuaded the Queen Mother to go out with a smile, which completely quieted down, and the whole person became gloomy.

The maids waiting in the imperial study all lowered their heads and held their breath, not daring to move. His Majesty is in a bad mood, and if anger is taken out on them, they will not be able to have nine lives.

"Someone!" Xiao Qianye said in a deep voice.

"陛xià."

"Go check it out for me! Last night's incident in Yanwang's Mansion began! Xiao Qianye gritted his teeth, he originally wanted to recruit people to ask him as soon as he came and went, but it was a morning when these people came and went. Seeing that his expression was not good, the guards underground hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the people below have already returned." ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier?!" Xiao Qianye said angrily.

The guards lowered their heads even lower, not because they didn't want to tell them, but because they didn't have time to listen to them. Xiao Qianye calmed down the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Xuan him in." ”

In just a few moments, a man dressed in the usual guard costume hurried in and said, "Meet"

"That's it!" Xiao Qianye interrupted him impatiently and said, "Let's just say it, what happened last night?" ”

The guard hurriedly said: "It seems that the Yan Wangfu was prepared last night, and as soon as our people entered, they fell into a bitter battle. Then somehow, the Xie family, the Qin family, and several families near the Yan Wang's Mansion sent people over to inquire. said that it was because the assassination of the county lord of Xingcheng last time failed to help, and this time he didn't dare to slack off. Then even Princess Lingyi and Duke Eguo, as well as the Chengjun Palace, also came with people. The general originally ordered the little one to come back and tell His Majesty, but his subordinates were caught before they could get close to the palace. It wasn't until it was slightly dark that he was put back. ”

"Bump!" Xiao Qianye raised his hand and slapped it on the table fiercely, gritting his teeth and saying, "Nan, Gong, Mo!" At this time, Xiao Qianye couldn't understand that he was being calculated by Nangong Mo. Nangong Mo was clear until he would send someone to go, maybe he was so rude in the imperial study yesterday, just to provoke him to make a move. And he really fell into Nangong Mo's trap!

"Okay, you Nangong Mo! Do you want to save Wei Junmo from that scourge? I'll see how you save it! Someone immediately went to the prison, Wei Junmo killed the prince of Zhou and my brother, and executed him on the spot! Xiao Qianye almost jumped like thunder, and his elegant and noble temperament in the past was gone.

"Majesty," the guard kneeling on the ground said cautiously.

"What else?" Xiao Qianye said irritably. The guard said in a low voice: "I arrested my subordinates and asked my subordinates to bring a word to Your Majesty." ”

Xiao Qianye's eyes narrowed slightly, "What words?" ”

The guard said: "The other party said that the day when Wei Shizi's death was extinguished, it was when the edict of the first emperor and the cause of death of the first prince were announced to the world. ”

Xiao Qianye was stunned, and the whole person seemed to be stiff. After a long time, he waved his hand weakly and said, "You guys stand down." ”

"Yes, the subordinates retired." The guards secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly retreated.

The peace in the imperial study was restored again, and Xiao Qianye waved away the chamberlain and the palace maid to sit alone in the study, and his eyes were dazed and irritable. This throne can be regarded as a sudden fall to him, but since he is already an emperor, he also wants to be a good emperor like his grandfather. But since he ascended the throne, nothing has been smooth, and he finally disposed of Xiao Chun, but another Wei Junmo appeared. Xiao Qianye couldn't help but feel a little resentful of Xiao Chun, if he hadn't left such a note, why would he be in a hurry to get along with Wei Junmo now?

Occasionally, he couldn't help but wonder if this piece of paper was just a bait for Xiao Chun to deliberately stay so that he could break with Wei Junmo or even Uncle Yan Wang? But he didn't dare to bet. Even a wise person like his imperial grandfather almost killed the entire Jinling baby because of just a sentence from Qin Tianjian back then. What's more, in his opinion, compared to those babies who were killed by the emperor's grandfather, Wei Junmo was indeed more like the troubled heroes in Qin Tianjian's prediction.

During this time, he also counted Wei Junmo's birthday to the people of Qin Tianjian. Ordinary and unremarkable is not the life of a royal person at all, but how can Wei Junmo, who is so similar to the eldest princess, not have royal blood, it can only show that Xiao Chun is right, the eldest princess is indeed on Wei Junmo's birthday.

"Why are you so worried?" An old voice woke up Xiao Qianye in deep thought, Xiao Qianye raised his head to look at the visitor, his face softened slightly, "Mr. Zhou." ”

Zhou Xiang looked at Xiao Qianye and said, "Your Majesty is worrying about the affairs of Wei Gongzi?" Xiao Qianye sighed and said, "Exactly." Zhou Xiang's expression was also a little strict, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, it is advisable to make a decision as soon as possible about the affairs of Gongzi Wei, and now the gossip in Jinling City is very unfavorable to Your Majesty." ”

Xiao Qianye was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "What are the rumors?" ”

Zhou Xiang sighed and said, "As soon as it dawned this morning, the assassination of King Yan's Mansion had already spread throughout most of Jinling City. Wei Gongzi was just imprisoned in the heavenly prison for murder, and the Tianyan Palace's mansion was almost slaughtered, what does His Majesty think those people will think? ”

Xiao Qianye's face was slightly gloomy and he was silent.

Zhou Xiang stroked his beard and continued: "There are more rumors secretly, saying that it is that Gongzi Wei and the county lord of Xingcheng dealt with the rebellion in Lingzhou for His Majesty and pacified the disaster of Xiao Chun, but now in the end, His Majesty is going to" shook his head, Zhou Xiang was obviously very troubled by this. He hated Wei Junmo and Nangong Mo, two young people, but he never had the heart to kill them. But Wei Junmo's life, no

No matter who you are, you can't rest assured. For the sake of His Majesty and the eternal foundation of Great Xia, no matter what, you can't leave it alone.

"What do you have to say, sir?" Xiao Qianye asked.

A trace of murderous aura flashed in Zhou Xiang's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "For today's plan, we can only make a decision early." Your Majesty, this matter must not be indecisive, and it is a hundred times since you killed Wei Gongzi. Finally, King Yan and the eldest princess secretly changed the birthday of Wei Gongzi, and they didn't dare to say it in the open. After all, if he didn't change, Wei Gongzi wouldn't be able to live so long at all. It's not that we want him to die, it's the emperor who wants him to die! ”

Xiao Qianye frowned, hesitated for a moment and said, "There seems to be an edict left by the first emperor in his hand. ”

Zhou Xiang was stunned for a moment, and Xiao Qianye said: "The edict was written after the edict written by the emperor's grandfather. ”

Zhou Xiang came back to his senses and said, "Your Majesty thinks that the edict may be unfavorable to Your Majesty?" ”

Xiao Qianye raised his hand to cover his eyes, and said with a wry smile: "Don't hide it, sir, when the first emperor made his edict, I was in Lingzhou, and I was controlled by Xiao Chun, so I couldn't act. I'm just afraid that the first emperor will misunderstand."

Zhou Xiang's white eyebrows also wrinkled, and he naturally understood the stakes. If the edict left by the first emperor was really to restrain His Majesty, then if he was not careful, he might really shake the throne.

"What are you going to do?" Zhou Xiang asked.

Xiao Qianye lowered her eyes, "I just want to ask Mr. ”

Zhou Xiang frowned, walking back and forth in the imperial study, obviously thinking hard. After a long time, Zhou Xiang finally stood still and said, "Your Majesty, is the county lord of Xingcheng trying to use the holy decree to save Gongzi Wei from prison?" ”

Xiao Qianye nodded, "Naturally, that's what it means." ”

"However, even if His Majesty releases Wei Gongzi, what can he do? As long as they stay in Jinling City for a day, Jinling is the Jinling of His Majesty. Xiao Qianye's heart moved, "Sir, do you mean that they plan to leave Jinling?" Zhou Xiang nodded and said: "It seems that I am planning to go to Youzhou, once I reach Youzhou, the sky is far away, and King Yan has a heavy army, it will be difficult to deal with Wei Gongzi." ”

Xiao Qianye frowned and said, "Sir, you mean that you can't go away from Fang Weijunmo?" However, the edict "

Zhou Xiang said: "Is there really an edict in the hands of the Lord of Xingcheng that can threaten His Majesty?" Nangong Mo's daughter is bold, she may not dare to deceive His Majesty. ”

Xiao Qianye naturally hoped that there was none, but he didn't dare to let go of his heart. He always felt that Nangong Mo was not joking this time.

"Qi Qi Xià, the Lord of Xingcheng County ordered someone to send something into the palace to be presented to His Majesty." Outside the door, the waiter said tremblingly.

Xiao Qianye said coldly: "Submit it!" ”

The chamberlain held a box and walked in quickly and put it on the imperial case in front of Xiao Qianye. Xiao Qianye couldn't help but be stunned when he opened the box, there was a silver lock in the box.

"Majesty, what is this?"

Xiao Qianye reached out and picked it up and said in a deep voice: "This is the emperor's grandfather's thing, I have seen it once." Raise it up and take a look, sure enough, the silver lock is engraved with these nine five-clawed dragon patterns, and the edge of the silver lock has the words "Ouchi Imperial System". There was also a small key next to it, Xiao Qianye went to the key and clicked the silver lock open, but there was nothing inside.

The two glanced at each other, and somewhat understood that this was another warning from Nangong Mo. Xiao Qianye closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "This is the Emperor's grandfather's thing, and the Emperor's grandfather once said that this is his most important thing." Time has passed so long that I have almost forgotten it. I didn't expect it to be in the hands of the Lord of Star City. ”

Zhou Xiang sighed, "What are you going to do?" ”

Xiao Qianye said in a deep voice: "No matter what, you have to get the edict first." ”

Zhou Xiang thought for a while and said, "Actually, it's okay to let Wei Junmo go first. ”

Xiao Qianye looked up at Zhou Xiang, and Zhou Xiang said: "Your Majesty, the people who hate Wei Junmo are not only His Majesty, but also His Royal Highness King Zhou, who has just lost his son. In addition, as long as His Majesty spreads the news that Wei Shizi is the mastermind behind the killer organization, Wei Junmo's reputation will be half ruined. Even if he wanted to do something, it wouldn't be so easy. For the rest, we can plot slowly. ”

Xiao Qianye thought about it, and only felt that it was suddenly enlightened. I was only busy trying to deal with Wei Junmo before, but I forgot that even if Wei Junmo was really a hero in troubled times, it was impossible for him to rebel immediately.

"Thank you, sir, for your advice, I understand."

"The old minister doesn't dare to take credit." Zhou Xiang hurriedly said.

Xiao Qianye said in a deep voice: "Come on, summon the county lord of Star City into the palace to see you!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"
