"If this palace is not mistaken, they are the remnants of the Absolute Dust Palace!" Qingyun's expression was calm, and his dark eyes were as deep as the sea.

She did arrange for Dai Kun to use gambling and debts to lure out the secret civil strife and rebels, but there was no news, and she and Chen Yu agreed on a plan to repeat the old trick.

I didn't think that after dinner, there was news from Dai Kun, so he decided to plan it, but he didn't expect that the person who came was not a traitor of civil strife hidden in the dark, but the remnants of the people of the Absolute Dust Palace.

Don't ask her why she concluded that these people were from the Absolute Dust Palace, this was her intuition, after all, she hadn't dealt with the people of the Absolute Dust Palace once or twice.

Gong Yingjie looked stunned, looked at Qingyun, and turned to look at the black-clothed man of the so-called Dark Seven beside him: "You are really the remnants of the Absolute Dust Palace?" ”

The man in black snorted coldly disdainfully, and always stared at Qingyun and threatened: "The Ninth Princess is really Bingxue Smart and can guess it, we are indeed from the Absolute Dust Palace, and now he is in the hands of us, if the Ninth Princess doesn't want him to give me a funeral, let me go!" As he spoke, with a slight exertion of his hand, a wisp of blood flowed out of Gong Yingjie's neck.

"Let them go!"

Before Qingyun could say anything, a thick and vigorous voice suddenly sounded, and then Emperor Huiwen, who was wearing a Ming Yellow Dragon robe, strode towards him surrounded by Leng Yi and a group of eunuchs and palace maids, followed by more than a dozen court ministers.

Looking at Emperor Huiwen who came to her, a trace of regret in Qingyun's eyes was fleeting, how could she forget, this is the inner courtyard of the palace, but if there is any trouble, she can't hide it from her shrewd and wise father.

took Situ Jingyu and the others to take a few steps forward to greet Emperor Huiwen, and Qingyunfu saluted: "Erchen sees his father, it's so late, why hasn't my father gone to bed yet?" ”

The Purple Guards and the Praetorian Guards were still eyeing Gong Yingjie and the others in black.

Stretching out his hand to help his beloved daughter and holding her slightly cool hand, Emperor Huiwen scolded him: "I am discussing political affairs with the ministers, and I heard that the guards said that something happened here, so I naturally want to come and see it, but it's you, it's cold at night, why don't you rest in the dormitory?" If you suffer from the cold because of this, how can you make me feel at ease? ”

"Erchen also listened to the secret report of the secret guard, saying that someone broke into the palace at night and wanted to rob the court for repeat offenders, so he came to find out, but he didn't expect to worry his father, it was Erchen's unfilial piety." Qingyun quietly winked playfully at Emperor Huiwen.

"You...... I really don't know what to say? ”

Gently scraping the little nose of Qingyun, Emperor Huiwen knew in his heart that tonight's event must be the arrangement of his beloved daughter, but his face did not show it at all, but he still had pampering and helplessness, took off his cloak and gently draped it on his beloved daughter, and then looked at Zike and Lupo: "Take care of the princess." ”

Zike and Lupo responded in unison.

Emperor Huiwen then turned his eyes to look at the group of black-clothed people who were surrounded on all sides, and said majestically: "I can let you go, but you must promise not to hurt Gong Yingjie, otherwise I will never spare you!" ”

"The emperor can rest assured, as long as I am safe, I will guarantee that Gong Yingjie will come back intact."

With such a good hostage in hand, the man in black became more and more fearless, and suddenly thought of something strange and asked: "The emperor is trying his best to protect Gong Yingjie like this, could it be that the purpose is the same as ours, all to get the evidence of the collusion between the court minister and Amu Gulang in the hands of Gong Yingjie?" ”

Emperor Huiwen raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at his beloved daughter beside him quietly: Jiu'er is for this?

His lips twitched slightly, and he said softly: No! Erchen is also a daytime genius today, and the Dao Palace Yingjie has evidence in his hands!

I see! Emperor Huiwen nodded, and then looked at the man in black noncommittal.

And the more than a dozen ministers standing behind Emperor Huiwen all changed their expressions drastically, and some of them were even more frightened.

It turns out that Gong Yingjie has such an important thing in his hands!

Lin Bingquan's eyes flashed with a trace of cold and bloodthirsty glow, and in an instant, he regained his calm, and quietly glanced at Mei Hanqiu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Mei Hanqiu suddenly understood, stepped forward and bowed to Emperor Huiwen and said: "Your Majesty, Gong Yingjie's father and son are extremely guilty of plotting to usurp the throne, and the rebels of the Absolute Dust Palace break into the palace at night to rob the court for repeat offenders, and they are even more bold and reckless, once the tiger is released and returned to the mountain, there will be endless troubles, please think twice!" ”

"The emperor thinks twice!" Mei Hanqiu's voice fell, and several of the ministers echoed it.

"What Master Mei said is really inappropriate." Han Jingwen, who has been an official for many years, has also figured out some of Emperor Huiwen's thoughts.

Regardless of whether Gong Yingjie really has evidence of some people's collusion with Amu Gulang in his hands, Gong Yingjie can't die, at least not now.

"Gong Yuanhao is guilty of usurping the throne, but he has already confessed to the law and died at the hands of his own people, reading that he holds the gold medal given by the emperor to avoid death, and the emperor decreed that Gong Yingjie will be imprisoned for life, which not only punishes Gong Yingjie, but also fully demonstrates the emperor's benevolence and magnanimity;

Gong Yingjie's escape crime is added to one degree, and it will be dealt with in accordance with the law later, but Lord Mei admonished the emperor to execute Gong Yingjie at this time, which inevitably makes people suspect that the evidence in Gong Yingjie's hands involves Lord Mei, so Lord Mei wants to wait for the opportunity to borrow a knife to kill people, Lord Mei, do you say so? ”

"You ......" Mei Hanqiu was annoyed and angry, but she was speechless.

"Mrs. Han is serious." Xiong Fei, the squire of the military department, said angrily: "Lord Mei is loyal to the emperor, how can he do such a thing as treason with the enemy?" Moreover, Gong Yingjie was originally a repeat offender in the imperial court, but he tried every possible way to escape, which was really ill-intentioned, and it was reasonable to kill him and the rest of the evils at this moment. ”

Han Jingwen shook his head and said, "Lord Xiong, the old minister doesn't dare to agree with this. The emperor Jinkou Yuyan let them go, no matter what the reason, if Gong Yingjie suddenly died tonight, and the word spreads, those people with ulterior motives will inevitably take the opportunity to stir up trouble and encourage the subjects who don't know the truth to accuse the emperor of going back on his word, when the time comes, whether it is Lord Mei or Lord Xiong, can you bear this responsibility? ”

"Mrs. Han is simply alarmist!"

"Whether it's alarmist or not, I believe the two adults and everyone present know it very well."

"You ......"

Mei Xiong and the two knelt in front of Emperor Huiwen, and Xiong Fei hurriedly defended: "Your Majesty, the two of them are loyal, please let the emperor know!" ”

Glancing at Lin Bingquan, who had always lowered his head and couldn't see clearly, a ghostly sneer crossed the corner of Qingyun's lips, and he pulled Emperor Huiwen's cuffs without a trace, and when he saw Emperor Huiwen looking over, he blinked his eyes meaningfully.

Emperor Huiwen understood that his beloved daughter had other plans, so he said majestically: "Get up." After the two of them got up, they continued: "I know the loyalty of the two of you, and I also believe that Taifu Han is just talking about the matter and not targeting the two of you, don't take it to heart, after all, it is for the sake of the country, and there is no need to be suspicious because of a reciprocal offense in the court." ”

Even though they hated Han Jingwen in their hearts, Mei Xiong and the others had to respectfully say with Han Jingwen: "The emperor is sage! ”

"Your Majesty!" Gong Yingjie suddenly said loudly: "The criminals did not escape, they forcibly kidnapped the criminals, ask the emperor to learn from them!" ”

Anyway, no one knows about his conversation with the man in black in the Ice Spring Palace, not to mention that he is now being held hostage by the man in black, and the emperor and the ninth princess still want to get those evidence, as long as he insists that it has nothing to do with this matter, he will be able to avoid this catastrophe without danger, and at the same time, he has the capital to bargain with the emperor and the ninth princess.

"Shut up!" Stretching out his hand and clicking on Gong Yingjie's acupuncture points, the man in black turned his head to look at Qingyun and said arrogantly: "Ninth Princess, how about we make a deal?" ”

"Tell me about it." Qingyun's expression was quiet with a hint of indifference, and her eyes were as deep as the sea.

The man in black thought that he had mastered the weakness of Qingyun, so he said proudly: "The ninth princess handed over the Fire Hall Master and the Mei Hall Master to leave with us, and when we are safe, we will naturally return Gong Yingjie and the evidence in his hands to the Ninth Princess, so that the Ninth Princess can eradicate those who collaborate with the enemy, I don't know what the Ninth Princess wants?" ”

"Hall Master Mei can hand it over to you, as for Hall Master Fire, he is already dead."

"What did you say?" All the black-clothed people changed their faces in unison, and their eyes flashed with a sinister murderous aura as they stared at Qingyun: "You killed the Fire Hall Master?" ”

Qingyun nodded with a smile and said: "The Fire Hall Master took the initiative to confess many secrets about the Absolute Dust Palace, so that every time you failed in your plan, even the old nest was bulldozed by the people sent by the palace, like this villain who betrayed the master, the palace killed him for you, you should be grateful to the palace." ”

"You ......"

The black-clothed people all had hideous and twisted expressions, but they didn't expect the Fire Hall Master to betray the Absolute Dust Palace, which led to their successive fiascos during this time.

Hearing that Qingyun actually killed the betrayer mercilessly, even if it was someone who betrayed the enemy, some of them's faces instantly turned strangely pale, and the eyes that looked at Qingyun were complicated and fearful.

"Exchanging the Mei Hall Master for Gong Yingjie is obviously a little unfair to you." Seeing the suspicious and wary look of the man in black, Qingyun pursed his lips and said lightly: "In this way, this palace will send another left protector." ”

"The Left Protector is still alive?" The man in black looked shocked and suspicious: Didn't the news say that Zuo Protector and Yuan Dong were dead? How so?

"Zuo Protector was indeed poisoned, but Bengong wanted to get the secret of the Jedi Palace from her mouth, so she let Mo Xuan save her, but she would rather die than betray the Jedi Palace, and it was useless for Bengong to keep her, just return it to you, and save yourself from wasting the precious medicinal materials of the Ben Palace every day."

After speaking, Qingyun glanced at Yun Fei, Yun Fei quickly left with four purple-clothed guards, less than a cup of tea, two purple-clothed guards escorted the Mei Hall Master, and the other two purple-clothed guards carried a stretcher and returned with Yunfei.

Looking at the once beautiful and moving Mei Hall Master, now his face has been ruined, his expression is haggard and thin, and his appearance has completely changed, the whole person is as dull as a puppet and is ignorant of the outside world, the face of the man in black has become gloomy and cold, staring at Qingyun's eyes with bloodthirsty murderous intent and ruthlessness: "What do you do to Mei Hall Master?" ”
