"Someone, someone—"

A frightened scream came from the temple of Taihe,

Aunt Rui called and reacted quickly in front of the Queen Mother, "The Queen Mother must not look at it, otherwise it will be more difficult to sleep peacefully." ”

Although the Queen Mother didn't see the terrifying scene at the end, she witnessed the painful appearance of the village chief before her death, and she couldn't help but turn pale and caress her chest, only to feel that her heart was beating fast, and she was frightened.

Soon the body was brought down by the guards.

Ling Xiang witnessed all this, and also saw the village chief's dead eyes,

But still calm,

As if all this had nothing to do with itself.

After a while, a eunuch came in and wanted to whisper something to Gonggong Wei, Gonggong Wei's eyes rolled, and he bowed forward and replied to Yuan Ruiming and the Queen Mother:

"Emperor Qi, the Empress Dowager, the imperial doctor has examined the corpse of the village chief, and the silver needle has turned black, and he died of poisoning."

"Poisoning?!"

The Queen Mother was shocked,

"Do you know when you were poisoned?"

"If you go back to the Queen Mother, it's strange, according to the judgment of the imperial doctor, there is also the action of this person holding his throat before he died, this poison should have originated from the body, and it is more likely that he or someone fed it."

Yuan Ruiming frowned,

I didn't expect to miss a step,

Even if he knew that after Ling Xiang used the village chief, he would inevitably cut down the grass and eradicate the roots without leaving any evidence for him like he did to the villagers of Shuangxi Village, but he didn't expect that it would be so fast.

"The old fox must have calculated the time early in the morning."

Bai Jingyin glared at Ling Xiang angrily,

clenched his fists and whispered to Yuan Ruiming quietly:

"It is estimated that he was fed poison in advance to threaten the village chief to perjury in front of the queen mother, but he was not prepared to give him the antidote from the beginning, if it wasn't for our sudden appearance and slowing down the process, the village chief should have left the Taihe Hall at this moment, just happened to die of poison, and the timing was seamless." There was a pause, "We should have noticed it earlier." ”

"Even if he was persecuted, he couldn't be considered innocent, but he hated another life that was harmed by Ling Xiang."

Yuan Ruiming finished speaking,

I heard Ling Xiang speak:

"How can a good person poison himself, it must be caused by being poisoned." looked innocent, and there was some self-satisfaction in his tone, "It's just a pity, Weichen still wants to know what the village chief wants to say before he dies, maybe he still knows who is the murderer of the village." It's just a step late, the clue is interrupted, and there is no way to find it out. ”

Although he died in the temple, which was different from his plan, but fortunately, he still died,

As soon as the village chief died,

Everything related to Sungai Village, including its own crimes, will be wiped out,

Even if these two stinky dolls knew that they had sent someone to assassinate them, they couldn't do anything to him without evidence for a day.

"You-"

Bai Jingyin's anger came up all of a sudden, and he almost wanted to go up and pick up Ling Xiang's collar and give him a few punches. But was stopped by Yuan Ruiming,

"Calm down."

The sleeve was grabbed by Yuan Ruiming, Bai Jingyin couldn't do it impulsively, so he had to give up in the end, gritted his teeth, and slashed Ling Xiang with a thousand knives in his heart to vent his anger.

A game between the powerful minister and the emperor,

In the end, the blood-stained Taihe Hall came to an end,

It seems that Yuan Ruiming is helpless and at a disadvantage because Ling Xiang is helpless, but in fact, he also recovered a lot of interest from Ling Xiang as he planned with Bai Jingyin.

"Although this 'misunderstanding' has nothing to do with the prime minister, it has disturbed the harem of the former dynasty, made rumors rampant, and the crime of inspection cannot be investigated."

Replace the bright yellow dragon robe, tie the jade silk, and step on the treasure boots. At this moment, Yuan Ruiming, who was sitting on the dragon chair, returned to the appearance of a proud king in the past.

Bai Jingyin looked at him at His Highness,

Suddenly, there was a subtle feeling that when he was the young master of Yuanbao, it seemed that he could become his partner and friend; But after becoming the emperor, the distance was too far away, and a chasm was involuntarily separated.

Also from friends,

Became a monarch again.

"Weichen is guilty and asks the emperor to punish him."

However, before the curtain came down on this play, Ling Xiang could accept it so calmly because everyone present knew that the emperor could not deal with Ling Xiang at this stage and tear his face.

really

The Queen Mother came forward to give the steps,

"It is best if the emperor has nothing to do, and during the period when the emperor is not there, many things also rely on the prime minister, and the merits and demerits are offset by each other, just for the sake of the mourning family's intercession, avoid heavy punishment."

"Since the queen mother said so, then I will be fined for half a year, and I will order five hundred taels to be used for disaster relief, which can be regarded as Ling Xiang's dedication to the people of natural and man-made disasters."

"Weichen Xie Emperor and Empress Dowager forgive me, I will have the immensity of the emperor's grace in my heart, and I will encourage him diligently in the future, so that this mistake will not be made again."

Ling Xiang leaned over and bowed to thank him,

The words have meaning, but there is something deep.

Bai Jingyin took a deep breath before suppressing the unwillingness that surged in his heart and glanced at Bai Yi. Bai Yi bowed slightly, stepped forward and bowed:

"Your Majesty, Weichen still has something to do."

"General, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Of course, the prime minister is not very wrong, but according to the minister's observation, what the hussar general did this time is very inappropriate. Yu Huai, the failure to protect the emperor, fortunately it was just a misunderstanding, but if there was really an assassination, wouldn't it put the emperor in danger? In the palace, with the disorganized method, with the crossbowmen to surround the hall, once the two sides fought, the arrow without eyes will not accidentally hurt the queen mother, this is negligence. The two, after the emperor revealed his identity, did not withdraw his troops for a while, and faced the emperor with a sword, which was disrespectful. The negligence and disrespect of a lowly soldier is a dereliction of duty on the part of a hussar general. ”

"I-"

Ling Yugui heard that after the matter was about to end, he was involved without warning, and it was a not trivial crime, and he immediately wanted to refute it.

was glared at by Ling Xiang and shook his head.

"The dog is naturally inexperienced compared to the general, and the qualifications are still lacking, and he will need more guidance from General Bai in the future." He said to Ling Yu again: "It's your fault to be picked out for omissions, and you are not humble enough to be taught, and admit your mistakes." ”

"Yes."

Ling Yugui arched his hand,

"Weichen is guilty and asks the emperor to punish him."

"The hussar general and the prime minister both thought that General Bai was not wrong, so it made sense to transfer 80,000 soldiers and horses inside and outside the imperial capital to General Bai's command."

Ling Xiang's eyebrows sank,

After a pause, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Minister, there is no objection."

"This misunderstanding also implicated General Bai, and I was very upset. Thinking that the border situation has been stable recently, and the Great Qi Xixia has been friendly with each other, the general does not have to rush to return and stay in the imperial capital, and he can often talk about the relationship between father and daughter with Concubine Jing. ”
