Lan Keqing originally wanted to pretend to serve Su Yumei, and then kill Su Yumei by surprise, but when she came, she found that Su Yumei was not in Xu Zhilan's room, but was killed in the maid's room next to Xu Zhilan's boudoir. Yesterday, the maid in this room was driven away by Xu Zhilan, so it was empty, and no one came to clean it up, so no one found out that Su Yumei was dead.

The palace maid Xiaocui ran in and told the princess to get up, saying that King Yangtao was invited. didn't get a response, Xiaocui was about to go to the room to shout, Lan Keqing spoke.

"No need to scream, Concubine Mei is dead! Don't make a noise, I'll go see the prince! ”

Lan Keqing quickly came to the gate of Yangtao Palace.

"Keqing, when did you come? Have you seen Concubine Mei? ”

"Lord, Concubine Mei was killed in the maid's room!"

Xu Zhilan shuddered and asked, "Can you see whose hand it is?" ”

Lan Keqing shook her head and said, "When Weichen came, Concubine Mei was already dead!" ”

Xu Zhilan nodded mechanically, and then asked, "What is the matter with you coming to the palace?" ”

Seeing Lan Keqing's eyes dodging, Xu Zhilan suddenly understood, and asked loudly: "Keqing, shouldn't you be here to kill Concubine Mei?" ”

"For the safety of the prince, Princess Mei ......"

Xu Zhilan grabbed Lan Keqing's shoulders with both hands, shook vigorously with excitement, and said loudly: "Safety? For the safety of this king? Are you my person, or the princess's person? She asks you to kill, and you help her kill? From today onwards, you give me the memory that you, yes, me, people! ”

Lan Keqing didn't dare to resist, her shoulders hurt so much that tears flowed out of her eyes, and she nodded heavily.

Seeing Lan Keqing's tears, Xu Zhilan sobered up a little, let go of his hand, hugged Lan Keqing in his arms, and said apologetically: "Keqing, I'm sorry, I'm too excited, did it hurt you?" I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I know you're doing it for my good, but I don't want you to kill people for me, I hope you, and Xiang'er, are living a normal life and being happy every day. Did you know that you almost died today? ”

Lan Keqing shuddered and asked softly, "Why?" ”

"Because I have countless spies arranged by the emperor around me, it was not my idea to attack Su Mansion last night, I don't know at all! Killing Concubine Mei today is also the Dragon Guards' own initiative! When you came here just now, if you encountered the dragon guards killing people, they might even kill you if you misunderstood! In the future, you will remember to me that you must discuss major matters with me, and don't listen to other people! Otherwise, you don't know how you died? I learned the magic of orchids, and there would be no danger at all! All you have to do is keep yourself safe, do you hear? If you all die, what's the use of me restoring the country of Hualan? I want you to live well, do you hear? ”

Lan Keqing was moved to tears, and her chin tapped heavily on Xu Zhilan's shoulder.

"Lord Wang, it's time to go to court!"

Hearing Gonggong Guo's voice, Xu Zhilan gently pushed Lan Keqing away, wiped his tears, turned to Gonggong Guo and said: "Gonggong Guo, the Su family pretended to take refuge and teased the important ministers of the court, Su Yumei knew that she would not escape death, and she had committed suicide in fear of crime, you arranged for someone to deal with Su Yumei's funeral!" ”

In the early court today, on the Jinluan Palace, the civil and military officials discussed a lot, which was particularly lively, and Xu Zhilan did not go to the court on time, everyone can understand.

When Prime Minister Jian and the others heard about the process, they were shocked, they never thought that Xu Zhilan would be so vicious, killing so many people overnight!

Mao Shangshu and others were frightened, Xu Zhilan was easy to talk to, and even Hu Jun abandoned Xu Zhilan many times in times of crisis, and Xu Zhilan was spared, making everyone feel that Xu Zhilan was quite easy to approach! But now, because Xu Zhilan was worried that the Hidden Sword Villa was King Qin's spy, he used a plan to kill all the people in the Hidden Sword Villa in a fit of rage! Such a method made the ministers scared, and secretly thought that they must not follow Xu Zhilan in the future!

Immediately afterwards, Qin Wang Xu Zhiyuan took advantage of Xu Zhilan's failure to come, saying that he was not capable enough and wanted to get a fief of a county and be a prince of peace; Then he said that Princess Jinyang was dead, and he felt that Princess Luoyang was the most suitable person, and recommended Princess Luoyang to help her father deal with the government.

The civil and military officials looked at each other, and they couldn't figure out whether King Qin was afraid that Mo Wentian would assassinate him, or if he was too embarrassed to offend Xu Zhilan, and he was afraid that Xu Zhilan would kill him, anyway, King Qin was afraid and wanted to flee the court to save his life!

Hearing the curtain of the Xiao Wei Gong Communion, after everyone called for the king of Yangtao to be a thousand years old, they saw Xu Zhilan walking into the Jinluan Hall with red eyes.

After shouting "Zhong Aiqing is flat", Xu Zhilan glanced at Guo Gonggong.

Gonggong Guo coughed and said: "Zangjian Villa Su Ruhai and others wrote a table asking to serve the imperial court, first to the Qin Palace, and then to the Yangtao King. These people are clearly working for the imperial court, but they are actually here for profit! ”

When this sentence belittles the character of the Tibetan Sword Villa, it also invisibly says that King Qin is poor and can't give the Tibetan Sword Villa benefits! Onomoto took a deep breath and pretended not to understand.

"King Yangtao not only crowned the official rank of the Su family, but also accepted Su Yumei as a concubine, so that the Su family rose to prominence overnight! But the Tibetan Sword Villa didn't know how to repay the favor, but blamed the Yangtao King Nasu Yumei as a concubine, which was an insult to the Tibetan Sword Villa, and they felt wronged, which was really the case! Princess Mei doesn't feel aggrieved as the lord of Jingyang Country, the Su family is just a grass people, what is there to be wronged? The Su family took the opportunity to make trouble, disobeyed the decree of King Yangtao, challenged the royal power, and pre-provoked the forces of the rivers and lakes to confront the imperial court! Last night, King Yangtao sent the forbidden army to kill the Su family, who didn't know what to do! Princess Mei knew that she would not escape death, so she committed suicide in fear of crime! ”

"If the Su family does not obey the will, the crime deserves death!" Prime Minister Jian stepped forward and agreed.

Then the other ministers also came out to express their approval of Xu Zhilan's approach.

Xu Zhilan was very depressed, he didn't do it! But after killing a group of people, these ministers were still trembling when they echoed it, and he somewhat understood why the ancient people were all over the house at every turn, and even the nine clans were punished!

Xu Zhiyuan stood up and said: "King Yangtao, this king doesn't know anyone, and he almost introduced the people of Zangjian Villa into the imperial court!" This king is ashamed, and this king is a selfish interest, destroying the plan designed by King Yangtao and his father to unify the Jingyang Kingdom. In recent days, Benwang has been self-reflecting. Thinking of my own selfishness, it damages the interests of the country; didn't know the art of war, and killed Princess Jinyang; also has no ability to know people, in addition to introducing a group of mercenary villains to the imperial court! This king is ashamed of his father and the emperor, and he is ashamed of the people of the world. ”
