Chapter 490: Extraneous Branches

Songzhi was speechless, mottled with tears, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, she fell on Li Yanran's knees and cried bitterly, Li Yanran's eyes were sour and damp and hot, but after a long time, not even a single tear fell.

On this day, Li Yanran had already dried up all her tears, and all her heart and energy had been boiled dry, perhaps leaving was the only relief.

Although what happened in Li Yanran's palace was well concealed, there were many people in the harem who were lively and had ulterior motives, especially Bai Muyan, who was extremely peaceful during this time, in order to temporarily maintain obscurity and seek long-term development.

In addition, the queen also warned Bai Muyan not to act rashly, not to have a hard time with Li Yanran at this juncture, and Bai Muyan was even more unnecessary, and he never even took half a step out of the palace gate.

But two months have passed, what Bai Muyan is waiting for is the news that Li Yanran was named the deputy queen, Bai Muyan can no longer continue to watch calmly, and an unprecedented sense of crisis envelops Bai Muyan, but what makes Bai Muyan feel the most strange is that after the day of the canonization ceremony, Li Yanran's palace gate was inexplicably guarded by the Praetorian Guards.

Bai Muyan sent Shui Bi to inquire about the news, but she found nothing, and she went to the queen in person, and the queen did not directly tell Bai Muyan the inside story, but vaguely hinted that Li Yanran was rebellious and could make a fuss on this point.

Bai Muyan got the queen's advice, and after returning to her bedroom, she thought about it again and again, and in the electric light, she seemed to realize something, even if she summoned Shui Bi and asked Shui Bi to go to the Tai Hospital, she changed her way to find out what medicines the Heart Cultivation Palace had used in recent days.

Bai Muyan originally wanted to look through the emperor's pulse case to see if he could find any clues, but everything about the emperor was absolutely secret, and it was extremely difficult to find out what he wanted.

Therefore, Bai Muyan could only retreat to the second, thinking that he might be able to find some clues on top of this medicine.

"Back to Niangniang's words, the slave maid failed to detect the tone of the people in the Heart Cultivation Palace, I heard that His Majesty issued a strict order this time, no one is allowed to disclose the news to people outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, and I heard that a lot of little palace maids and eunuchs were killed with a cane." Shui Bi pressed her head against her chest and reported cautiously.

"That's it......" Bai Muyan only felt quite regretful, this only way was also blocked, and there was not even a chance to exploit the loopholes.

Just when Bai Muyan thought that he couldn't do anything to Li Yanran, a piece of news suddenly broke out, and then quickly spread throughout the harem and the previous dynasty.

The next day, the emperor sat on the dragon chair with an extremely ugly face, and looked coldly at the ministers below.

"Your Majesty!" The first person to stand up and denounce Li Yanran was Xu Taifu, this person is an out-and-out foolish and loyal royalist, he trembled and knelt down, and said with tears in his eyes: "You are the prince, that poisonous woman Li dares to offend Tianyan so much, if you don't punish it severely, how can you make the ministers feel at ease, such a femme fatale woman should be cut by a thousand cuts!" It's all gone! ”

"Presumptuous!" The emperor's cold eyes were mixed with deep displeasure, "I said that the events of that day have nothing to do with the imperial concubine, why should you listen to the wind and rain, it is really ridiculous." ”

Xu Taifu was not shocked by the emperor's sudden burst of momentum, but thought more and more that the emperor was bewitched by Li Yanran, a demon girl, otherwise, how could the emperor be so protective of Li Yanran.

"Your Majesty! If you don't execute Li Yanran, the old minister will only die today before he can be worthy of the emperor! Xu Taifu said, about to hit the pillar on the side, just when everyone thought that Xu Taifu was going to splash blood on the spot, but only to see Si Huazhen carrying Xu Taifu's collar, like a chicken cub, carrying Xu Taifu back to the same place.

"How can Taifu be so impulsive, if you hit it so recklessly today, and spread it, how will the people think of Your Majesty? Didn't Taifu want others to think that His Majesty forced you to death? As soon as Taifu died, it was all your loyal name, but what was left to Your Majesty may be infamous through the ages. Si Huazhen hooked his lips and smiled as if he was smiling, and the smile in his dark eyes revealed a bit of coldness and ridicule.

If it was said that Si Huazhen was not sure who leaked the news before, but now that he looks at it like this, it is clear at a glance that he can think of using the chess piece of Xu Taifu to force the emperor to submit and execute Li Yanran.

Xu Taifu is the most pedantic, if he knows that someone dares to hurt the emperor, even if he is desperate, he will be admonished, Si Yuanqiong will reveal the news to Xu Taifu, whether it is true or not, Xu Taifu will inevitably make a big fuss.

In this way, even if it is fake, it can become true, not to mention that the facts are now certain, but Si Huazhen is a little suspicious of how Si Yuanqiong knew about this.

The dark stakes that Si Yuanqiong planted in the palace were all pulled out by him, so why was Si Yuanqiong able to receive such a top-secret message?

Si Yuanqiong seemed to be aware of Si Huazhen's inquiring gaze, he glanced at Si Huazhen meaningfully, with provocation and weirdness, and then quickly withdrew his gaze, as if nothing had happened.

When Mrs. Xu was asked by Si Huazhen, she was a little speechless, and her old face turned red, "I...... I didn't mean that, I just ......"

Mrs. Xu muttered for a long time, but she couldn't say why, with Si Huazhen in front of her to stop Mrs. Xu, and then a few ministers stood up to speak for Li Yanran.

Among them is Bai Wenwu, although he doesn't know what the inside story is, but Bai Weiying said that no matter what Si Huazhen says or does, Bai Wenwu just needs to see the opportunity to echo it.

Seeing this, the emperor nodded with satisfaction, and was unexpectedly surprised to see today's Si Huazhen very pleasing to the eye, especially when Si Huazhen stopped Mrs. Xu, who relied on the old and sold the old, and solved the emperor's urgent need for coal, it made the emperor silently shout in his heart.

"Okay, that's the end of today's court, I'm tired." The emperor didn't want to listen to the ministers anymore, so after finishing speaking, he directly ignored the opposition and discussion from the ministers and left the main hall directly.

After the emperor left, the rest of the people looked at each other, not knowing whether to continue the fight or leave first.

Si Huazhen glanced indifferently at the expressions of everyone in the hall, and then locked his heavy gaze on Si Yuanqiong's body.

"Brother Zhen, how can you look at this king with such eyes?" Si Yuanqiong asked with a knowing attitude.
