Desheng lowered his head, not daring to look directly into the emperor's eyes, at this moment, it was really like a dream. has been by the emperor's side for a long time, this kind of relationship is no longer just as simple as a master and servant, he watched the emperor grow up, watched him ascend the throne as an emperor, watched him go through so many ups and downs, how can this kind of friendship be easily forgotten.

"Your Majesty, the old slave didn't expect that in his lifetime, he would be lucky enough to see Long Yan again." In an instant, Desheng cried like a child.

The emperor patted him on the shoulder, "I was punished heavily, and since you left the palace, I have often thought of you." ”

Desheng nodded vigorously, "With the emperor's words, the old slave has no regrets in this life." ”

"Oh, by the way, the queen said, do you know the cause of Bailixuan's death?" After talking about feelings, it's time to get down to business, the emperor really didn't expect that the witness in the queen's mouth turned out to be Desheng.

However, if it is an ordinary eunuch and palace maid, the words in their mouths may not have any weight, even if they tell the truth, the emperor will carefully check it, but Desheng is different, this kind of trust has become a habit.

Desheng calmed down his emotions and tried his best to calm down, "Your Majesty, the old slave did see what happened that day, but the stakes were so important that the old slave didn't dare to say it easily. These days, it is difficult for the old slave to see His Majesty even if he tries his best, but fortunately, the queen has made a decree, so that the old slave can meet the mother and tell the truth. ”

"What the hell is going on?" The emperor returned to his seat, returned to the topic, and seriously inquired about Bai Lixuan's killing.

Desheng replied, "Back to the emperor." On that day, the old slave happened to pass by the Imperial Garden, and saw that Prince Xuan and Prince Chen had an argument, and then ......"

The emperor leaned forward, "And then?" ”

"Then Chen Wang Ye pushed Xuan Wang Ye, and Xuan Wang Ye accidentally bumped into the tree." Desheng seemed to do his best to recall the scene.

The emperor leaned back, his eyes looked straight ahead, as if thinking about something, "So, it wasn't King Ning who killed Bailixuan, but Bailichen?" ”

Desheng still seems to have some doubts. However, the old slave was not sure if Bailixuan was dead at that time. Then I heard someone coming. The old slave left in a hurry. ”

The emperor nodded, "That's right, Bailixuan died because of hitting a tree." ”

Desheng seemed taken aback, "This ...... Could it really be that they are brothers fighting. Murdered Bailixuan's life? ”

The emperor was thinking about something seriously. He waved his hand. "Desheng, you go down first, don't mention this matter to anyone. Rong Zhen thought about how to deal with it. ”

Desheng ordered him to withdraw.

On the way back, he walked to a secluded place, and Desheng happened to meet An Ruozhan.

"Gongzi An, the old slave told the emperor and the queen word for word according to your instructions." Desheng Shili said.

An Ruozhan nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, don't worry, I will make every effort to arrange the matter of returning to Beijing, this time the emperor will definitely remember the past feelings when he sees you, and when the queen brings you back to Beijing, the emperor will not blame." ”

Desheng thanked him for his kindness, "Thank you Gongzi An, thank you Gongzi An." ”

An Ruozhan smiled proudly, this move was perfect.

In fact, after Desheng left the palace, the An family has been secretly in contact with him, after all, Desheng used to be a popular person around the emperor, even if he was degraded, the An family always believed that he would still be useful after all.

This time, An Ruozhan wanted to find someone to correct Bailichen, and after several thoughts, Desheng was the best candidate. Pointing out the prince of Zhao is not a trivial matter, even if the crime is confirmed, the emperor will be very embarrassed. If you change someone else, you want to say a few words, have no evidence, and only rely on what you see to convince the emperor, it is almost impossible. But Desheng is different, the emperor has always trusted him, although he was degraded, but his status in the emperor's heart has not diminished, and more importantly, on the surface, he has been in this Jinling Palace for more than ten years, far away from the court, naturally there is no dispute of interests, and his words are more credible.

The reason why Desheng agreed to An Ruozhan's request was that he really wanted to see the emperor, as for the so-called return to Beijing, he didn't have such a big extravagant hope, as he himself said, in his lifetime, it was already a great honor to be able to see Shengyan again. Second, he didn't want the emperor to fight alone, Gu Ranchen was under house arrest, he knew that the emperor must not want to see this ending from the bottom of his heart, and he pointed out that Bai Lichen could be regarded as helping the emperor.

In the study, the emperor was not so relaxed, he thought that he would see the solution to the matter when he knew the truth, but the truth from Desheng's mouth really gave the emperor a headache.

"What is the emperor going to do?" Seeing that the emperor was at a loss, the queen asked tentatively.

The emperor sighed heavily, "Alas! This matter is not simple, just based on Desheng's words, if you want to cure Bailichen's sin, I am afraid it is too unconvincing, and you can't explain it to Zhao Guo at all. ”

The queen nodded, "Yes, the concubines are also worried about this matter, relying on the words of a eunuch to treat the sins of the prince of a country, let alone the monarch of Zhao State, I am afraid that even the people of Zhao State will not be able to agree." ”

The emperor waved his hand, "I'm tired, you go down and rest first, this matter, let me think about it again." ”

After the queen retired, the emperor was the only one left in the study, and he thought about it left and right, but he didn't come up with any good ideas.

"Your Majesty, Lord Lingwei asks to see you." The personal eunuch came to deliver the message again.

"Announce quickly." Hearing that Lingwei was coming, the emperor suddenly came to his senses. The emperor thought about it, the situation of Zhao Guo, Ling Wei was the most familiar, she came, maybe there was some clever plan to solve the siege in front of her.

Today, Ling Wei wore a navy blue tulle skirt, a cloak of red brocade fabric on the outside, a flowing cloud bun on her head, and a golden delicate beaded hairpin.

"Ling Wei has seen Your Majesty." Ling Wei slowly entered the study and bowed to her knees, her voice was soft and her eyebrows were smiling.

When the emperor saw Ling Wei, he was happy from the bottom of his heart, although he was unhappy in his heart, he still smiled, "I hope that it is really not easy for you to look forward to it, I heard the Marquis of Jingyuan say, you have already gotten up and come to Jinling, why did you only arrive today, and when you entered the palace, why didn't you say hello in advance?" ”

Ling Weiwan replied, "Please forgive Your Majesty, the reason why the courtiers only arrived was because there was some delay on the way, as for why they didn't say hello and enter Beijing again, they naturally wanted to surprise Your Majesty." ”

The emperor laughed, and was very happy to be coaxed by Ling Wei, "Yes, surprises, you can always bring surprises to me." What good things did you bring to me this time? (To be continued......)
