The frightening scene just now scared Xiao Xuan almost out of her body, and for a long time, she didn't know where she was. She thought she was dreaming, and many times she was awakened by such dreams.

It wasn't until she saw someone running into the arena quickly, and Han Derang was helped to limp out of the arena, that she suddenly woke up, ran to Han Derang like crazy, grabbed his hand, looked at him with tears in her eyes, and the muscles on her pale face spasmed slightly.

As if being burned by a blazing fire, Xiao Xuan's face was flushed, but he was trembling all over. She wanted to speak, but her throat was blocked, she couldn't make a sound, she opened her mouth, and she only felt that many words rushed to her throat and blocked there, and she held back tears. It took a long time to say, "How are you?" How's it hurting? ”

Han Derang knelt down and said, "Thank you for the Queen Mother's concern, the minister is fine, I just fell." ”

However, she didn't believe it, and looked Han Derang up and down carefully, and saw no signs of injury, so she breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Han Derang's leg again, and said tremblingly: "What's wrong with your leg?" I just saw you limping along. ”

Han Derang said: "It's nothing, maybe there is a little injury to the ankle, just rub it." ”

Xiao Sui hurriedly squatted down, Han Derang hurriedly stepped back and said, "Queen Mother, are you faint, hurry, help the Queen Mother back to the palace to rest." ”

Xiao Xuan stretched out his hand, wanting to grab Han Derang's leg to see how the injury was.

Han Derang took two steps back and said, "Queen Mother, please get up, the minister is not injured." ”

Xiao Xuan only woke up completely at this time, stood up, and said: "I am indeed faint, the cheap slave dared to hurt my court official, and I was so angry with him." ”

Almost everyone was stunned, the arena was in chaos, there were running guards everywhere, and the Huri Room had been cut to the ground, and a whole body could not be found. The sudden change made everyone frightened, just now it was a game between two teams, everyone was looking at the excitement, and it was about to be seen, but there was a conflict, and the field became a killing field. The bloody mess of meat became food for flies in the blink of an eye.

This was so unexpected that even the initiator, Hu Ran, was stunned, and when Hu Limur was hacked to death with a knife, she felt that her blood was also flying, and she was dizzy and almost suffocated when she looked at the blurred pile of flesh and blood.

After a long time, Hu Ran began to rejoice, and looking at Hu Li's corpse, she knew that she was safe for the time being. Huri could no longer speak, and no one knew the secret between them anymore, but soon fear came back to her, would Hu Limu tell the others about their plot? Hu Yuan only felt a cold knife raised towards her.

Later, when she recalled the scene where Xiao Xuan ran to Han Derang, she was surprised to find out what a mistake she had made: out of fear, she forgot to expose their affair. When she woke up, Xiao Sui had already returned to the palace, Han Derang had also returned home, and she was full of chagrin in the face of the empty dome.

Xiao Xuan returned to the dormitory, her heart was still pounding, and Han De let the scene of falling from the horse appear in front of her eyes over and over again. She was concerned about his injury, "Is it really not serious?" He must have comforted me to say that. ”

Xiao Sui finally didn't worry about Han Derang's injury, and sent the imperial doctor to visit Han Derang.

It was a long time for the imperial doctor to come back, and it seemed that after a few years, the imperial doctor had not returned. Is the injury serious? The Imperial Physician is treating him. This conclusion made her tremble, and she didn't dare to think about it anymore.

She fidgeted and walked around the dormitory, and from time to time she went to the door and looked out, but she always came back disappointed, and her temper became very bad, and she always yelled at the slaves and maids, accusing them of being careless, and the slaves and maidservants did not dare to look up at her.

The Imperial Physician has finally returned.

"How? It's not serious, is it? ”

"It's not serious."

"Where's the injury?"

"Ankle, ankle hurt, swollen."

"What about bones? Did the bones hurt? ”

"The bones didn't hurt."

"What about anything else, the head, the internal organs are injured?"

"No, it's just that the skin on the shoulder is broken, just rub some medicine."

"If the ankle injury is not serious, will it be disabled?"

"It's not heavy, it won't be disabled, the Queen Mother, the minister promises not. All you need to do is prick a few stitches, pull out a few fire pots, rest for two months, and you're good to go. ”

Xiao Sui breathed a sigh of relief as if he had met with an amnesty, and said: "Very good, you have worked hard, go back and give the government order a good treatment, and there will be a reward for curing it." ”

The imperial doctor thanked him and bowed out of the palace gate.

Xiao Xuan's heart finally let go, but in the dead of night, she couldn't sleep. She recalled how irrational she had been, and she was simply insane. What will her desperate actions bring her? Will anyone see her affair with Han Derang? Will she be discredited and become the laughing stock of the Khitan? Or even to be spurned, besieged, subverted? She couldn't help but shudder at the thought of this.

Someone is going to make a big fuss, Xiao Xuan said this almost very certainly, so what should I do?

The next day, there was no morning court, and she summoned Mu Fang into the palace.

After bowing, he stood aside without saying a word.

Xiao Sui asked him to sit down, and Mu Fang thanked him, saying that he was still standing and talking.

Xiao Sui knew that the matter was serious, and whenever Room Fang stood and talked, things would be very troublesome.

Xiao Sui said: "Room Aiqing, have you heard about yesterday's incident?" ”

Murofang pretended not to understand and said, "What happened yesterday?" ”

Xiao Xuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Yesterday, Han Derang almost died under the horse. ”

Room Fang said: "This matter, the old minister heard about it, didn't the Queen Mother hack the person who collided to death with a knife?" ”

Listening to Mu Fang's tone, as if complaining that she was doing something wrong, Xiao Sui said: "Shouldn't that traitor be executed?" ”

Mu Fang said: "The traitor deserves to die, he deserves a thousand knives." ”

Xiao Xuan said: "Then why did you listen to Aiqing's tone like I was killing him?" ”

Room Fang said: "Since the Queen Mother asked so, the old minister took the liberty to say a few words. ”

Xiao Sui said: "The prime minister has always known everything, and he has said everything, you can say it." ”

Room Fang said: "Yesterday, although the minister was not in the bowing field, but I heard someone tell me about the situation at that time, the minister thought that the queen mother did three mistakes: first, the change was lost, there was a loss of the queen mother's demeanor, second, the behavior was unprepared, panicked and frightened, and third, the improper handling of the killing, killing people who should not be killed. ”

Xiao Sui said: "Why did the prime minister say that Huli should not be killed? ”

Murofang said: "Huli should be killed, but he should not be executed at that time." ”

Xiao Xuan thought for a while, suddenly realized, and said: "Aiqing is right, I am in a hurry, and I really killed the wrong one." ”

Murofang said: "The minister thinks that there must be a reason for Huli to collide with Han Derang, and Yihulimuro's bow skills will not make such a low-level mistake, and the minister has investigated, and Huli has not once collided with people like yesterday in the decades of Keju competition." On the field, he has always won with his skills and used it to show off, but yesterday, he became very rude, like a madman, bent on killing Han Derang, and after Han Derang fell from his horse, he still wanted to commit murder, why is this? Why did he have to kill Han Derang, what kind of hatred did they have? ”

Xiao Sui said: "What Aiqing said is very true, but as far as I know, Han Derang has no big enmity with him, why did he want to harm Han Derang?" ”

Mu Fang said: "This is the reason why the minister wants to keep his life temporarily, if he has no enmity with Han Derang, then he is instructed by someone, then, who wants to harm the life of the government order?" ”

Xiao Sui said: "It's all to blame, I killed him in a hurry, how can I find out the mastermind now?" ”

Room Fang sighed: "I'm afraid this is not clear for a while, or wait to interrogate the other bowers to see if there are any clues." ”

Xiao Sui said: "Arrest all the people he is competing with, I don't believe that I can't ask the person behind me." ”

Mu Fang said: "I hope to ask for clues." ”

The interrogation of the civilian team did not satisfy Xiao Xuan at all. Huli's teammates did not seem to know about Huli's attempt to kill Han Derang, and Xing Baopu even used heavy punishment, but still did not receive an accurate answer. Under the heavy punishment, he was beaten into a confession, but the confessions he recruited were varied, and none of them could withstand careful scrutiny.

Xiao Xuan was anxious and summoned Xing Baopu to discuss with Mu Fang.

Xing Baopu said: "At present, it seems that Hu Li's attempt to murder the government decree is certain, and his teammates also admit this, but why he wanted to murder the political decree, those people can't say, they just say that Hu Limur has been punished by the government decree and holds a grudge, so he wants to take revenge on the government decree." ”

"This point does not stand up to scrutiny, although Hu Limu has been punished by the decree of the government, but he usually lives well, and he cannot commit the decree of murder at the risk of his life." ”

Xing Baopu said: "What the Prime Minister said is that the lower officials also think so. ”

"I suspect he must have been instructed by someone else. ”

Xiao Sui said: "If he was instructed by someone, who was the person who instructed him?" Has Lord Xing checked it? ”

Xing Baopu said: "I checked it, but I didn't have any eyebrows." ”

Xiao Sui said: "Why, they don't confess? ”

Xing Baopu shook his head and said, "No one knows who instructed Hu Limu. ”

Xiao Xuan hurriedly said: "Why don't you use the big punishment?" I don't believe I can't pry their mouths open. ”

Xing Baopu said: "The minister used the punishment, but it was useless, besides, the minister was worried that under the big punishment, they would make up nonsense, frame good people, and easily cause unjust, false and wrongful cases." ”

Xiao Sui said: "Qing did the right thing, at this time, you must be cautious, I don't want to be Wu Zetian, and Qing can't be a Junchen." ”

Mu Fang said: "Could it be that Hu Li is a lonely goose and has no accomplices? ”

Xing Baopu said: "At present, there is a person who is very close to him. ”

Xiao Sui hurriedly asked, "Who?" ”

Xing Baopu said: "Miriji." ”

Murofang said: "Miriji, is what people often say is the best partner of Hurimur - Miriji? ”

Xing Baopu said: "Exactly, people often call them 'Hu fans', which means that they cooperate tacitly and play elusively, so that people can't see the routine." ”

Xiao Sui said: "You don't care what their routines are, you must interrogate the mastermind behind the scenes." ”

Xing Baopu said: "The minister has interrogated Miriji, and Miriji admits that Huli has approached him and conspired with him to calculate government affairs, but he does not know who instructed Hu Limu. ”

Xiao Sui said: "Impossible, since they are accomplices, didn't Hu Limu tell him?" ”

Xing Baopu said: "Miriji said that Hu Limu came to him after he was tortured with a cane, and knew that he had a grudge against the government order, so he came to discuss with him to murder the government order. ”

Xiao Xuan said loudly: "He lied, continue to interrogate, and must tell the mastermind." ”

Mu Fang said: "According to the old minister, Miriji did not lie. ”

Xiao Sui said: "Why is Aiqing so sure? ”

"Now it seems that Huriji is a very cautious person, everything he does is airtight, he didn't tell any of his teammates, of course, he won't tell Miriji, he just uses Miriji, he knows that Miriji has hatred for the government order because of the punishment, so he uses it, let Miriji assist him in the murder of the government order, he doesn't need to tell Miriji about the mastermind behind the scenes." ”

Xiao Sui said: "What I said is that this Huli Room is too cunning, I really regret that I killed him on impulse and cut off the clue, what should I do?" ”

Mu Fang said: "The Queen Mother should not be worried, bear with it for the time being, the fox will finally show its tail." ”

Xiao Sui said: "This is the only way. ”

Xing Baopu said: "How to deal with Miriji? ”

Xiao Sui said: "This is needless to say, just kill it." ”

Mu Fang said: "No, Queen Mother, according to the minister's foolish opinion, it is better to let him go." ”

Xiao Sui said: "Why? ”

Room Fang said: "Miriji is King Xi's close attendant, once saved King Xi's life, if he kills, King Xi must be uncomfortable, the country will rely on Xi people in the future, not to mention, the Queen Mother has always treated people with courtesy, caring for her subordinates, let go of Miriji, one, show the Queen Mother's magnanimity, the other can envelop King Xi, King Xi must be grateful, will be loyal to the Queen Mother, three, if Miriji really has accomplices, the days will be long, will show the horse's feet, when the time comes, all of them will be wiped out, and there will be no future troubles. ”

Xiao Sui said: "Aiqing is really far-sighted, so she did what the prime minister said, and released everyone in the bow team." ”
