Chapter 9 Ye Cao secretly designed Qi Sheng to be imprisoned
Silver? Poisoning? Ye Cao chuckled in his heart. He glanced into the darkness.
After a cup of tea, before the four of them could do anything, a sharp voice suddenly sounded outside the pavilion.
"The Divine Decree ---." It was the eunuch who came with his throat pinched.
When he saw the person who came, Qi Sheng was surprised to find that this person was actually the little eunuch Xiao Cuizi next to the emperor. Any battle is enough to use the red people around the emperor to rush from Beijing to Chang'an just to announce a holy decree.
Qi Ye's daughter Qi Sheng received the order. Fengtian carrier, the emperor said. Qi Ye is guilty of embezzlement and bribery. His daughter poisoned the decoction prepared for me with the intention of committing murder. I ordered the Jinyi guard to take Qi Ye to the edict prison and try who he was forlorging. Qi Sheng was put into the warehouse prison and waited for his fate. ”
Qi Sheng was a little shocked, the poison was indeed quietly placed by her in the palace that day, but why was it discovered so quickly. The poison slowly devours the human body, and the quacks in the hospital can't detect it. I thought that after some time, I would arrange for her to increase the amount of fine work inserted in the palace, but it didn't work, so it was discovered.
"The courtiers take the order." Qi Sheng's expression was calm, and his face still looked world-weary and arrogant. She bent her knees slightly and accepted the decree. The waves in my heart did not show any on my face.
I'm going to rush to the capital? Qi Sheng was a little helpless, and a good hand of cards was played by her. If she had not negotiated well with the emperor this time, she would have died in prison. And his father was sent to prison, which was even more dangerous. It was an edict, and very few of the people who were sent in came out alive, let alone half a life, and there was only one breath left to hang.
If Su Bai was slower to investigate the case of the emperor's illegitimate son, it would be okay, and if her father went to prison one step later, she would have a little more confidence in saving everything. This time he came to look for Su Bai, and before he had the opportunity to mention his father, he was about to be escorted away.
Now, only the military power in his father's hands is Qi Sheng's only bargaining chip when negotiating with the emperor.
"Buckle it up." Xiao Cuizi did not have the slightest flattery to Qi Sheng in the palace that day. coldly pinched his throat and ordered someone to handcuff Qi Sheng. As he spoke, he was going to order someone to take Qi Sheng away.
Ye Cao suddenly grabbed Qi Sheng, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." His eyes were full of sincerity.
Xiao Cuizi led a group of people to escort Qi Sheng, and left the Bamboo Crane Tower without looking back.
All this happened a little suddenly, and the case was still being discussed some time ago, but it was only a few pillars of incense. Qi Sheng was escorted away.
"This king will retire first." Ye Cao glanced at Su Bai and Yu Ci, who were stunned in place, and left without looking back. The expression on his face was no different from Qi Sheng's, it was all faint and indifferent.
--Huainan Palace--
"Achu, how are things going?" Ye Cao lazily leaned on the edge of the couch covered with gold velvet, and his skeletal fingers casually played with the white jade pendant engraved with the word "Cao" with Qi Sheng's breath. The beads at the bottom of the head collide with each other.
"Back to the master, everything is in order. False decrees will not be discovered. Xiao Cuizi's subordinates have already sent someone to convey the matter, and the disguised person will not be discovered. On the way to the Qi Sheng girl, the emperor will find out about the poisoning. During the escort, clever subordinates have been arranged to take care of you, please rest assured. Achu shook his head slightly. He seems to cherish words like gold all the time. Ye Cao didn't ask him, he didn't say a word like a dumb person.
Ye Cao nodded slightly, signaling to Achu that he already knew.
But he was still a little worried. He found out when he was in the Bamboo Crane Tower. This murder case is not simple, and the murderer is very likely to want to blame Qi Sheng.
Silver needle kills people with poison, only Qi Sheng will be so unaware. All the spearheads are pointed at Qi Sheng. And the Yu Ci who was suddenly arranged by the emperor to be by Su Bai's side was very suspicious.
The emperor wanted to get rid of Qi Ye so much, and the people he arranged in Chang'an were very likely to investigate Qi Ye's meticulous work.
So he motioned to Achu to arrange a person who disguised Xiao Cuizi to disguise a good show. What I am afraid of is that Su Bai has already begun to point the finger at Qi Sheng.
Originally, the matter of poisoning was just Ye Cao's speculation based on Qi Sheng's temperament, and she would do so. Seeing Qi Sheng's reaction, he knew that this was indeed the case.
Sure enough, Sheng'er is still the same Sheng'er. Ye Cao's eyes were squinting, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
