053 I'd rather be a villain
The case of the Snow Emperor, I can't hide after all, Gao Wei secretly rumored that I entered the palace late at night, Gao Changgong was frightened, and risked death to go to the Zhu Palace with me
Above the main hall, it was quiet and peaceful, except for a few cronies and eunuchs and maidservants who kept vigil, there was no one else, presumably Gao Wei didn't want to make a big deal about it, he sat high on the dragon chair on the steps, his expression was solemn, but he still couldn't hide the fatigue on his face
Gao Changgong walked forward with me and immediately saluted him:
"Brother Wen Wan has seen the emperor" Gao Changgong directly said my name, but did not call me as a lowly person, I was a little moved in my heart
When Gao Wei saw him coming, his face was already angry, but he tried his best to suppress it, and said to me without hesitation:
"The night before the death of the emperor, the antidote I ate was Broken Grain Grass, you ate it without harm, you should know what was going on, and now this matter was ordered by the eldest princess to be handed over to Dali Temple for thorough investigation, you had better find a way to cover up this matter, or you will give me the guilt"
I knew clearly in my heart that the antidote to the Broken Valley Grass was given to me by Yun Si, and I was fine, but the emperor had something to do, of course, because he drank the bowl of soup with chicken blood vines of the Snow Imperial Princess, which eventually led to his death
Now it is more difficult to cover up this matter than to ascend to the sky, the eldest princess will never give up this opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, she will definitely kill the Snow Emperor Concubine and frustrate Gao Wei's sharp spirit, and will use this matter to deepen Yun Si's hatred for the Qi Kingdom, let him fight alone, raise troops to attack Qi, and she will enjoy the benefits of the fisherman
I thought about it and had to say to Cushman & Wakefield:
"Your Majesty, this matter is too difficult, the emperor now only has Mingzhe to protect himself, kill the Snow Princess, this matter will no longer implicate you, Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, you must not be restrained by others"
Both of them were shocked when they heard what I said, and Gao Changgong looked at me without speaking
And Cushman & Wakefield couldn't bear it anymore, was furious, and reprimanded me:
"It is worthy of being the imperial guard envoy of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and he is ruthless and not inferior to a man, but I tell you that if the Snow Emperor has any mistakes, I will ask you to pay for the burial."
I didn't panic, and calmly said to him:
"The emperor's harem has three thousand beauties, there is really no need to risk it for one person, the more the emperor is like this, someone will take advantage of this, so that the emperor will slowly lose his majesty in the court, lose his cronies, and then lose the Northern Qi country, the emperor, I have a plan, as long as the emperor decrees the death penalty for the Snow Princess, I guarantee that she will be safe and sound, and will never let the emperor's affairs be exposed"
When Gao Wei heard this, he immediately asked:
"What's the plan?
"Your Majesty, the eldest princess only knows about the broken grain grass, but she doesn't know about the soup, she has no movement now, just ordered a thorough investigation, presumably there is no complete certainty, as long as the emperor is before this, just find a reason to kill the Snow Imperial Princess, as soon as the clue is broken, no one will know about it, the person who took the medicine, Gonggong Hong, is also dead, the slave and the maid are implicated, naturally they will not say, the slave and the maid's plan is to let the Snow Imperial Concubine fake her death, Yun Si will definitely take her back to the Liang Kingdom, as long as the person is alive, there is always a chance to come back, what does the emperor think?"
Gao Wei pondered for a moment, his expression was embarrassed, but he had no choice but to allow me to say:
"I will make an order tomorrow, and I will leave this matter to you, and you must not hurt the Snow Princess"
"The Slave Servant"
After exiting the Zhu Palace, the air was dull, Gao Changgong didn't say a word, I didn't feel good in my heart, he naturally didn't expect that I would help Gao Wei deal with the eldest princess, he wouldn't understand the reason for this anyway, now tell him that the eldest princess is from the Zhou Kingdom, it will just put him in danger, and it will also add some unnecessary trouble to him, or wait for the matter to pass, and then tell him! Just thinking about it, we have walked to the front of the Eagle Ridge Palace, Gao Changgong stopped, he looked at the three words hanging high on the door railing, thoughtfully, I understood that he remembered some things when he was a child, and he was reluctant to leave for a long time, and I saw him so uneasy in my heart
At this time, a figure not far away broke into our sight, and it turned out to be the queen in the middle of the night, the queen was not good to stay in the palace, scurrying around in the palace, it was really a little strange, I looked at each other with Gao Changgong, and quietly followed
She obviously didn't notice us, it was already three watches at this time, except for the Praetorian Guards in the palace, everyone else had already slept, she obviously calculated that at this time, no one came out
I saw her look around, stopped in front of a palace room, waited for a moment and saw that no one found out, and then opened the door and walked in.
Gao Changgong and I went to the door, found a window, opened a small hole, and looked inside
"Why did you come? What about the emperor?" a woman's voice whispered to the queen, I heard the voice familiar, and I couldn't remember who it was for a while? Just as I was about to take a closer look, Gao Changgong whispered in my ear:
"This person is the Snow Princess"
It's her, why didn't the two of them stay in their own bedroom, why did they come to the palace where the palace maid lived?
Gao Changgong pulled me away and motioned for me to leave with him, but I saw that I didn't understand the matter, so I naturally refused to give up, and I didn't listen to him, but still eavesdropped at the door
