The beginning of the night, although not extremely dark, is the easiest time to be dazzled and unable to see.

A sparrow egg jumped out of Father-in-law Qi's sleeve and got into the flowers under the cover of this night, turning back into the appearance of a little girl, looking at Father-in-law Qi who was running away and shook his head: "Alas, the courage is too small!" ”

However, she didn't have much courage herself.

This is already a small garden in the courtyard of Qixiang Palace. After checking his feet while sitting in the grass and confirming that although it hurt badly, he was not actually ripe, and then he put his mind at ease, and slowly stood up with his hands on the ground, hiding under the hibiscus flowers to spy on the movement outside.

Not far away, there were people coming and going, not only the palace guards and eunuchs, but also the officials outside, all in the same direction - wearing court clothes and hurrying outside to the main hall.

Something big must have happened, Huan Lin thought to himself.

Originally, Xiao Anzi instructed her to be an ancestor in the violent room, but today the situation has changed.

The emperor sent people to the riot room to "take care" of her, and summoned people to pray for the palace, obviously there is a great deal to do tonight.

But he is already the emperor, and he can't rebel again, what other big thing can he do? After thinking about it, it can basically be concluded that someone else rebelled, and the emperor was angry and wanted to kill someone.

Does this need to be asked? The unlucky one must be Shen Yuli!

The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became, and he didn't care about the pain in his feet at this time, so he casually broke a branch from the side and ran to the window outside the hall.

It is not difficult for her to hide naturally, and no one will find her if she turns into her original form and lies on the windowsill.

I heard a mess of people inside, like a legendary temple fair, noisy and chaotic.

It took a lot of effort to hear that it was indeed arguing about "King Qing's rebellion", some said, "Since Your Majesty said this, the evidence is conclusive", some said, "Your Majesty has a high fever for days, and the imperial doctor has said that it is easy to be afraid and think too much", and some said, "It is difficult to judge only based on the words of the eldest prince, please ask His Royal Highness King Qing to enter the palace to confront him".

Huan Lin didn't quite understand how this matter had anything to do with Shen Desi again, so he simply tried to pick open the corner of the window paper and look in.

I saw Shen Desi kneeling on the ground, holding a small wooden box high above his head, and he was not tired.

The official who had just come in behind was puzzled, and quietly asked others: "What is in the hand of His Highness?" ”

Some of the early ones also lowered their voices and explained: "It is said that the letters were collected from the residences of those Taoist priests, and there are the marks of the Qingwang Mansion in them......"

When Huan Lin heard this, the father-in-law of Qi was dragged in, thrown on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, when the father-in-law of Qi came back from the violent room, he seemed to be frightened and went crazy, and kept shouting 'monsters and monsters', and the minions tried their best to wake him up!" ”

The ministers in the hall cheered back and avoided it, looking at Gonggong Qi on the ground in the middle in horror.

Father-in-law Qi didn't go crazy, he just knelt on the ground and cried uncontrollably, shouting: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, help, that forest is indeed a monster! ”

Shen Dehei was overjoyed, hurriedly raised his head, and shouted urgently: "Father, listen, this is ironclad evidence!" ”

The topic of "monsters" was undoubtedly extremely impactful, and the ministers immediately gathered around and asked gossip.

Gonggong Qi looked around in horror for a long time, making sure that there was no shadow of the forest around, and then stammered to tell what happened in the riot room.

The temple immediately exploded.

A big living person who disappeared out of thin air?

There is no such thing in the world. If what Father-in-law Qi said is true, that person who surrounds the forest is absolutely extraordinary!

The ministers originally disagreed with the words of the eldest prince, but at this time, they couldn't help but believe a little, and they each estimated in their hearts how credible the matter of "King Qing colluded with demons to kill his father and kill the king".

The emperor's spirit today was originally very good, his eyes were bright, and his face was almost the same as when he was healthy. But after listening to Gonggong Qi at this moment, the blood on his face suddenly retreated somehow, his eyes dodged, and he trembled.

"Could it be that the chains are not fastened," he said in a trembling voice, "that sneaks away while you are not careful...... Spread the way to the sea! Let the sea come to see me! ”

The ministers had never seen the emperor like this, and they couldn't help but look at each other in amazement.

Is this really sick and can't even speak, or- frightened?

The little eunuch around him was busy ordered to run to the violent room to call people, and the father-in-law of Qi in the hall was still talking about how the iron plate was hot, and he only fell on it and scalded out a string of burning bubbles, "that demon girl" roasted on it for more than two hours but was unharmed, and everyone was shocked when they heard it.

Father-in-law Qi was still afraid that people would not believe it, so he lifted his clothes to show others, and sure enough, most of the right sleeve had been burned out, and his palms and half of his arms were full of blisters, dense.

How hot that is! The ministers all saw that their scalps were numb.

If anyone could stand on such a hot iron plate for two hours unscathed, they would never believe it.

The chatter in the hall never stopped, and Huan Lin listened to the buzzing ears on the windowsill, and was about to sneak out to try to find Shen Yuli, but saw a group of people under the corridor in front of him hurrying over, it was Shen Yuli and the Lu Hai in the violent room, followed by several old doctors from the Tai Hospital.

They, together?

Huan Lin immediately turned to the eaves and called a sparrow, ordering it to fly in front of Shen Yuli and squeak and shout for a while.

Shen Yuli couldn't understand the language of birds. He ignored the sparrow, and kept breaking into the hall under his feet, saluting inward: "Son-in-law see father!" ”

"You?!" The emperor was so shocked that he sat up instantly, "Why are you here?" You're not ......."

"Father," Shen Yuli knelt on the ground, his face anxious: "It's not okay for you to stop taking medicine without permission like this!" The Tai Hospital prescribes you all warm and tonic medicines, although the effect is slow, but it is a real treatment; The pills left by those Taoist priests seem to have miraculous effects, but they have to be at the cost of damaging the heart and lungs, and the gains outweigh the losses, father! The Taoist priest is incompetent, and he has already led out the evil and stirred up the chaos in the palace, which shows that his ability is limited, how dare his father still eat what they left behind! ”

He spoke in a hurry, his tone changed, and he coughed again and again before he finished speaking.

Imperial Physician Zhang next to him hurriedly followed, and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, those pill ministers have all been tested, and they contain a lot of cinnabar, which is harmful to the dragon body and not beneficial, Your Majesty!" ”

"What," Prime Minister Wu asked in a pale voice, "Your Majesty is in good spirits today, not because the decoction is effective, but because you have taken the pill?" ”

"yes!" Imperial Physician Zhang was so anxious that he almost shed tears, "Your Majesty thinks that the medicine prescribed by the official is too slow, and he refuses to drink it again since yesterday morning, and I am afraid that I have been taking pills for the past two days, which is ...... In the long run, the consequences are unimaginable! ”

Some people believe that it prolongs life, and some people fear that it kills people overnight, and disputes and discussions have never been eliminated for thousands of years. At this time, when they heard that the emperor had stopped taking the medicine without authorization, the ministers felt a little uneasy.

Only the emperor himself was at a loss: "What are you talking about?" I ......"

"Father!" Shen Yuli interrupted him in a loud voice, with a look of regret: "The world has been decided, and the people's hearts are not stable, please focus on the dragon body!" ”

"Enough!" The emperor slammed the jade Ruyi at the head of the bed and shouted, "What the hell are you doing?!" I haven't asked you how you came here? Didn't I order you to go back to the palace and think about it behind closed doors, and not to enter the palace? And Imperial Physician Zhang, when did I stop taking medicinal soup, and when did I take pills? You guys...... Are you already planning to frame me to my face? ”

This time, neither Shen Yuli nor Imperial Physician Zhang interrupted, but lowered their heads sadly at the same time, honestly listening to the emperor's anger.

It wasn't until the emperor's anger was almost vented and he leaned on the pillow and panted for breath that Shen Yuli turned around again and asked Imperial Doctor Zhang: "What is the reason why my father's words have been reversed in the past few days?" ”

Imperial Physician Zhang shook his head and sighed: "Taoist scum often confuses people with pills, and they rely on pills that can often cause hallucinations. Consumers often feel that their faces are ruddy, their ears are bright, and their bodies are as light as swallows...... As everyone knows, if you take too much, you can't tell whether it is illusion or reality, and it is common to immerse yourself in illusions. ”

Prime Minister Wu Cheng was shocked and asked urgently: "What does Imperial Doctor Zhang mean is that His Majesty has taken an overdose of pills, and his mind has been affected, and he may not be able to distinguish between fiction and reality?" ”

Imperial Physician Zhang sighed and nodded.

The emperor was so angry that he wanted to jump up, so he raised his head but fell down weakly, and could only stretch out his hand and point at Gonggong Qi and signal him to speak.

Gonggong Qi was already in a hurry on the ground, and when he saw this, he hurriedly straightened his waist and cried at Shen Yuli: "His Royal Highness King Qing, you can't make something out of nothing!" When did Your Majesty stop the decoction of the Tai Hospital, and when did you take the pill left by the Taoist priest? You have always framed this and that, but now you have framed Your Majesty? ”

The eldest prince, Shen Desi, also hurriedly raised the box in his hand and said, "Fourth brother, you colluded with Taoist priests to make trouble, the evidence is conclusive, I'm afraid it's not that you can reverse black and white by buying one or two imperial doctors now!" ”

"Me? Collusion with Taoist priests? Shen Yuli smiled, looking helpless: "Big brother, my father would only say such things when he was confused after taking pills, why are you also confused?" During the period when the Taoist priests entered the palace, I was busy studying in the study, and in my spare time, I had to repair the palace and discipline the slaves, and I had not seen those Taoist priests for more than two months, how could I collude with them? You have been living in the palace and are favored by your father, and there are still many restrictions on entering and traveling, not to mention that I am a person who was not favored in the past and has recently left the palace to build a mansion? Big brother thinks too highly of me? ”

"This," a hint of panic flashed across Shen Desi's face, "...... You're so capable, who knows how you're going to be able to get to the sky! ”

Shen Yuli didn't say much to him, frowned and stepped forward to take the box in his hand, opened it, took out a few letters inside, looked at it twice, and handed it to Mrs. Zhao and Prime Minister Wu: "The eldest brother is about to say that this is my handwriting, please Mr. and the prime minister to see if it is." ”

Shen Desi suddenly became anxious: "You are presumptuous!" This is what I showed my father! ”

Shen Yuli said coldly: "This thing is too fake to be delivered to my father's eyes." ”

Prime Minister Wu unfolded the two letters and looked at them, frowning: "This ......"

Mrs. Zhao shook her head and smiled: "This thing is also made with care." It's a pity that the counterfeiters obviously forgot that His Royal Highness King Qing only started to learn books two or three months ago, and his handwriting was the same every day. - This letter is a copy of the handwriting of His Royal Highness King Qing last month, right? ”

Shen Yuli smiled bitterly: "That's true. ”

Shen Desi was stunned and looked at the emperor with a blank expression: "This ...... Father, how could you ......?"

At this time, the emperor's face was already blue, and he couldn't speak, so he naturally ignored him.

However, Shen Yuli suddenly looked over, and his face showed a little anger: "Although my father is taking pills, he will not suddenly become suspicious for no reason, unless someone takes the opportunity to fan the flames!" Big brother, during this time, have you often fabricated lies in your father's ears about my collusion with Taoist priests, and even, did you persuade your father to take pills? Are you doing this for ulterior purposes? ”

For example, killing his father and seeking to seize the throne?

Shen Desi was hit on the head by him with several sharp questions in a row, and he was dizzy for a while.

Shen Yuli didn't give him a chance to breathe, and then said: "If you want to frame me, you should also make up a little round!" If I collude with the Taoist priest to cause trouble, then the Taoist priest is a traitor like me, and how dare my father take the pill left by the Taoist priest today? If my father still trusts the Taoist, then the Taoist should be innocent, how can he collude with me to seize the country? Big brother, have you figured out the right and wrong? ”

Shen Desi not only did not make it clear, but was confused by him.

The ministers didn't give him time to think carefully, and quickly came to a conclusion: "His Royal Highness King Qing is reasonable!" It can be seen that 'collusion with Taoist priests' is pure fiction! The Taoist priest is naturally ill-intentioned, but His Royal Highness King Qing is innocent and wronged! ”

Even more quickly added: "Maybe the eldest prince himself colluded with the Taoist priest and planted a rake on His Royal Highness King Qing!" ”

The emperor listened to the discussion of this hall, and only felt that the voices coming out of dozens of mouths converged together, which was nothing more than the words "the general trend has gone".

He was shocked and angry, full of unwillingness, and glared at Father-in-law Qi again.

The latter shook his head and hurriedly shouted, "His Royal Highness King Qing! You say that this letter is fake, you say that you have not colluded with Taoist priests, so how do you explain that the servant girl around you is a monster? You have a banshee by your side, what do you want? This incident in the palace is it the Taoist priests' rebellion or the means of the banshee beside you......"

"What did you say?" Shen Yuli looked shocked: "What monster?" You say that the forest is a monster? ”

Father-in-law Qi grinned, as if he wanted to express a little pride, but he had palpitations and couldn't help trembling: "Yes, that is a monster!" I and a few people in the violent room saw it with our own eyes, and as soon as she turned around, she disappeared out of thin air! Father-in-law Lu, have you all seen it? ”

Everyone present looked at Lu Hai with him.

The latter looked dazed, took a few steps back, and knelt down: "Father-in-law Qi, what are you talking about, I don't understand...... The riot chamber has been empty these days, and no one has been interrogated! ”

"Why are you ......" Father-in-law Qi was stunned.

The emperor, who was lying on his pillow, coughed violently. Gonggong Qi woke up, pounced over and grabbed Lu Hai's sleeve: "Xiaoluzi, have you also been bribed by them?" Say something! Let's be honest! Why didn't you interrogate anyone, didn't that stay with you for two or three days? This afternoon, we put her on an iron plate and roasted her for more than two hours, and put three or four charcoal pots underneath......"

"Father-in-law Qi, are you drunk?" Lu Hai looked frightened, "Three or four charcoal pots, that's what can burn all the iron plates!" The big living people were roasted on iron plates by three or four braziers for two hours, and I am afraid that there will not even be ashes left, but they are not going to 'disappear out of thin air'? ”

"No, no," Father-in-law Qi shook his head again and again, "That didn't bake paste!" She obviously didn't have anything to do before, and she squeaked and scolded us, claiming to be our ancestor, and then she disappeared as soon as we turned around! ”

Lu Hai also shook his head with him, but what he said was completely different: "Your Majesty, my lords, this is absolutely impossible!" His Majesty ordered the servants to be in charge of the violent room, which was only used to interrogate the palace people who made mistakes, how could they use such torture! The slave swore with his life, and in the past few days, no palace people have been sent in the violent room, and the slave has never seen a maid named Huanlin! ”

Father-in-law Qi was stunned. He slowly raised his hand, looking at the hideous blisters on his right arm, and suspected that what had happened before was a nightmare.

However, it is obviously true!

Before Gonggong Qi could argue, Shen Yuli stood up and pointed at him: "Qi Zhong, what is your intention in making up lies in every way?" The king's maidservant lived in the palace around the forest, why was she sent to the violent room? My father built a riot room in the palace to clean up the palace rules, but you made up some sensational words about iron plates and braziers out of nothing, could it be that you deliberately slandered your father and wanted to make your father bear the name of cruelty? This king does not believe that his father is such a person, and he will never allow you to make up such a flawed lie to ruin his father's reputation! - Commander Zhen, drag this bastard out and kill him with a rod! ”

"The minions are wronged!" Gonggong Qi panicked, turned around and rushed over and grabbed the corner of Prime Minister Wu's robe: "Xiangye, you are the wisest, you must be able to distinguish the real from the fake!" How dare a slave lie about such a big thing! Your Majesty also said that the slave and maid were tried in the violent room, and what you heard, all the adults heard! ”

"Bastard!" Prime Minister Wu kicked him away, "Your Majesty is confused about taking pills, but I can't help you villains take the opportunity to slander!" Violent questioning, torture into a trick, such evil things are not done by Mingjun! ”

Shen Yuli smiled and arched his hand to Prime Minister Wu: "Prime Minister is really wise. At this time, it is indeed out of nowhere, this king really doesn't know why this slave would make up such a lie, I think it is because it is rare to have peace in the past two days around the forest, this slave received the wrong letter, thinking that the forest is not in the palace, right? ”

"Of course your slave is not in the palace!" Gonggong Qi, who was dragged to the door, struggled to turn around and hissed: "His Royal Highness King Qing!" You said that the cheap maid is in the palace, do you dare to bring her to the palace for questioning? If she can come, the minions will have nothing to say! ”

Shen Yuli frowned: "You are killing yourself, why are you still unwilling until this moment?" ”

"The minions are unwilling!" Father-in-law Qi sat on the ground and shouted with all his strength, so roaring that the window paper trembled.

In the next moment, there was a loud noise from the window, and Huan Lin pulled open the window sash and jumped in: "What's the matter?" I seem to hear someone shouting the cheap maid of Qingwangfu, shouldn't she be calling me? ”
