Chapter 020: One Bad Move

"No, don't think about it." Jian Ning immediately shook her head and said to Long Zeye. She didn't want Long Zeye to know that she was willing to enter the palace entirely because she agreed to Wu Shi's conditions.

"Wait a little longer, you can pay attention to Xiahou Leling's situation." Jian Ning finally said lightly, "Are you going to court tomorrow?" ”

During this time, the previous dynasty has always been done by Long Zening, and now that Long Zeye has woken up, Jian Ning opened his mouth to ask. After all, according to Long Zeye's character, one took advantage of the current incident to quickly take action, quickly cut through the chaos, and eliminated Ai Gaoyi. Otherwise, I missed this opportunity, and I don't know when I will wait.

"Hmm. I have no problems with my body now, and some things always have to be solved as much as possible. Long Zeye nodded and said lightly.

Neither of them spoke, so they snuggled up and fell asleep.

When Jian Ning woke up in the morning, one side of the bed was already empty, without the slightest temperature. Jian Ning knew in her heart that Long Zeye had been gone for a long time.

As soon as she got up, Yuyun and Qingzhi walked in with a smile and waited for her to wash and make up.

"Niangniang, what do you want to eat for breakfast, the slave maid will let the imperial dining room send it." Qing Zhi asked while combing Jian Ning's hair.

"Does the emperor have anything to eat in the morning?" Jian Ning didn't answer Qing Zhi, but instead asked about Long Zeye's situation.

"Back to Niangniang, the emperor hasn't eaten yet." At this time, Yuyun replied with a smile on the side, "The emperor has always been used to eating after the morning dynasty. ”

"In that case, you don't need to tell the imperial dining room to prepare. After a while, let Xiaofuzi go to the imperial dining room to eat those ingredients, and I personally made them and waited for the emperor to eat them together. Hearing this, Jian Ning said with a smile.

"Okay, the slave will let Xiaofuzi come, and let him get whatever the mother wants to write." Yuyun walked out with a faint smile.

Compared to the beautiful atmosphere of the Yongning Temple. The atmosphere in Lingyun Hall can simply be described as depressing and tense.

Long Zeye threw a few confessions in front of Ai Gaoyi, with a cold face, and said sharply: "Lord Ai, can you give me an explanation!" ”

Ai Gaoyi looked panicked, and reluctantly stepped forward to pick up the paper on the ground and read it quickly. While watching, I kept trembling. In the end, he fell to his knees all at once. knelt down a few steps forward and cried: "Your Majesty, these are simply nonsense. It's slander! Your Majesty, you have to believe the old minister, how could the old minister want to rebel? ”

"I'd like to know that!" Long Zeye had a dark face and snorted mockingly.

The rest of the ministers didn't dare to take a breath when they looked at the current situation. All of them remained silent, especially those of the Ai Gaoyi faction. I was even more cold in my heart. I'm afraid that if I don't care, this fire will burn on me.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has been working hard for most of the month to take care of the people who were injured by poisoners, how could it be that those rebels confessed, and they were the masterminds behind the scenes? If that's the case. Why did the old minister waste so much effort to take care of the people. Ai Gaoyi had a sad expression on his face, and even squeezed out a few crocodile tears in his eyes, and said aggrievedly.

Such a look. It was as if he had been greatly wronged.

"I never believe in the air ** wind, if Lord Ai insists that he is wronged. You don't mind confronting those rebels! Long Zeye didn't give Ai Gaoyi any room to turn around, and continued, "Of course, in order to prove Lord Ai's innocence, I will also send someone to search Lord Ai's mansion carefully. There are also some things mentioned in the confession, and I will immediately send someone to investigate them. ”

Long Zeye originally thought that he would at least see Ai Gaoyi's slightly nervous expression, but what he didn't expect was that Ai Gaoyi's face didn't change in the slightest when he heard what he said.

What was even more unexpected to Long Zeye was that Ai Gaoyi actually agreed with a righteous face to prove his innocence.

"If this can prove the innocence of the old minister, the old minister will naturally obey the emperor's order."

A wave of doubt rose in Long Zeye's heart, and he even had some bad premonitions. But now that we've come to this point, it's impossible to go any further.

"King Xiang listens to the order, and I order you to immediately lead a hundred forbidden troops to Aifu to search, and you must not let go of any place."

"Yi Yi listens to the order, and I order you to immediately lead everyone in the Criminal Department to thoroughly investigate the things mentioned in the confession again."

"Fan Chengfu, immediately go to the prison of the Criminal Department, and bring General Jianwei and other rebel generals to Lingyun Hall for questioning."

Long Zeye gave three orders in a row, and his momentum was overwhelming. Lingyun Palace, which was already angry and nervous, fell into a dead silence.

Jian Ning had just made some cakes and sushi in the small kitchen of Changle Palace, when she saw Xiaofuzi come to report that the queen had invited her over.

Jian Ning was puzzled, so she asked Xiao Fuzi: "Did the person who came to deliver the message say what happened?" ”

Now that Xiahou Leling is still in the lockdown period, it stands to reason that she can't see anyone without the permission of the Empress Dowager. And according to Xiahou Leling's personality, he has never cared about the affairs of this harem and Long Zeye. Now that she has sent someone to call her, there must be a reason why she must have seen her.

"The person who came to deliver the message didn't say anything else, and then explained a little inexplicably: Let Niangniang go as much as possible, otherwise the tea will not taste good when it is cold." Xiao Fuzi replied with a puzzled face.

"Okay, I know, you go down and get busy first." Jian Ning nodded when she heard this.

After returning to the house and changing into a new dress, Jian Ning took Yuyun to Fengyi Palace.

Fengyi Palace is under martial law, and ordinary people can't enter, but Jian Ning has Long Zeye's token in her hand, and no one dares to stop her.

"The queen mother is in such a hurry to let me come, I want to see what kind of tea it is." Jian Ning left Yuyun outside the door and said as she walked inside.

At this moment, there is no one in the house except for Le Ling, and even Le Ling's personal maid is not there.

"Since I dare to invite you over, I will not let you down." Le Ling took a sip of tea from the teacup on the side, and said here, "Try that cup of tea, this palace made it himself before you came, and it should taste just right now." ”

When Jian Ning heard this, she really picked up a cup of tea on the table and took a sip gently: "Sure enough, it's good tea, the queen has good craftsmanship." ”

Jian Ning praised as she put down the teacup. But the next moment, Jian Ning's words suddenly changed, and she looked at Le Ling with some strength and said, "The queen called me here, it shouldn't be as simple as tasting your cup of tea!" ”

"Since Concubine Yi has already said this, then the palace will not talk nonsense." Le Ling clapped his hands as soon as he finished speaking, and after a while, Feng Zi walked out from behind with some wooden boxes in his hand.

Feng Zi walked directly in front of Jian Ning, and after handing the wooden box in his hand to Jian Ning's hand, he retreated.

"What is this?" Jian Ning held the wooden box in both hands, looked at Le Ling with confusion in her eyes and asked.

"This is the sword that will send Ai Gaoyi into the land of no return, and you will use it in the near future." Le Ling didn't look at Jian Ning, but said lightly.

Jian Ning didn't rush to open the wooden box to see what was inside, but looked at Le Ling with a strange look and asked, "Who are you?" Why are you under house arrest in the palace, but you are able to know everything about the outside world, and even do things that many people can't do? ”

"It doesn't matter who this palace is, you just need to remember that I have no ill will towards you." Le Ling slowly stood up, looked at Jian Ning and said, "Of course, what this palace has done also has its own purpose, and there will always be a time when you will return it in the future." ”

Jian Ning didn't ask anything valuable from Le Ling, and went back to Yongning Hall with the box that Le Ling gave her.

In the Lingyun Palace, everyone was originally waiting for Fan Chengfu to bring those rebel generals so that they could confront Ai Gaoyi. But he didn't think about it, half an hour later, Fan Chengfu looked nervous, panting and ran into the hall to say, "Your Majesty, something is wrong." All the rebels who were imprisoned in the prison are dead!"

"What!" Long Zeye stood up all of a sudden and said loudly to Fan Chengfu, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"Back to the emperor, when the old slave felt that the punishment department, those rebel generals were already dead, and the cell head of the prison was preparing to wait for Lord Dong to go back and report to him. The slave looked at those people, and all of them had purple lips and black faces, and they were probably poisoned to death. Fan Chengfu gasped and said in a panic.

Hearing this, Long Zeye's eyes instantly became sharp, and he looked straight towards Ai Gaoyi. Although Ai Gaoyi's face did not show it at all at this moment, the treacherous smile in his eyes still could not escape Long Zeye's eyes.

Long Zeye finally understood why Ai Gaoyi was able to be so calm and fearless before. It turned out that he had already planned to destroy all the evidence that could threaten him.

As Long Zeye expected, about half an hour later, King Xiang and Fu Yi came back one after another. But all the evidence that could have anything to do with Ai Gaoyi was gone, and they found nothing.

Long Zeye stared at Ai Gaoyi deadly, it seemed that he was still a step slower. But what Long Zeye couldn't figure out the most was that those people who were imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, he sent heavy troops to guard them, and no one could enter without his orders. Even a person with high martial arts skills could not have poisoned them to death so silently.

Qiao Qi, who was beside Ai Gaoyi, had already injured his vitality, and he couldn't recover in such a short period of time, and it couldn't be his doing. In this way, their deaths seem to be extremely strange.

"King Xiang, I order you to cooperate with Shang Shu of the Criminal Department to thoroughly investigate the case of the rebel general who was poisoned and died in the prison of the Criminal Department." After Long Zeye gave a final order, he angrily shouted at everyone, "Retreat!" ”

Without evidence, he can't do anything about Ai Gaoyi, and it's useless to drag it out. (To be continued) R640
