This happened suddenly, and Huanlin jumped up in fright, and instantly flashed behind the stove and hid tightly.

Everyone in the hall was frightened by her jump again, and they became a mess.

The Taoist priest who pounced on him had a darker look of joy on his face, and he could almost be said to have turned around feverishly and continued to kneel, shouting, "Sure enough, it's a fairy...... Fairy lady! If you can pass through the ghosts and gods, there will be a way to save us, please save us by mercy! ”

After calming down, he realized that he seemed to have jumped too high just now, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart.

It wasn't until Shen Yuli beckoned to her that she slowly turned out from behind the stove again, and sat back with her head bowed.

Seeing this, the Taoist priest immediately turned around again, kneeling on the ground on his two knees, but he was very flexible.

Shen Yuli saw that Huan Lin didn't want to speak, so he asked the Taoist priest on her behalf: "Now admit that you are not good at it?" Is it because someone behind your back is framing you? ”

"The grass people are guilty, the grass people are guilty!" The Taoist priest's face turned pale and kowtowed repeatedly, "The fairy lady is here, and the grass people don't dare to lie, but in fact, the grass people are not good at their skills and can't deal with those evil people...... I hope that the fairy lady will help her! ”

Huan Lin came back to his senses, looked at him with a panicked look, and got angry again: "I can't end the scene, I know that I begged someone to save my life, what did I do when I caused trouble?" ”

Shen Yuli suddenly pressed her hand and motioned her not to speak, and said for her: "It's a good thing that you are willing to confess, but Huanlin is not a 'fairy lady', and she can't save your lives." If you want to find a way to live, go and ask for the 'evil spirits' in your mouth. ”

"This, Your Highness......" The Taoist priest was anxious, "Why isn't this lady an immortal?" She can pass through ghosts and gods, and she has just revealed a hand of immortal arts, even if she is not an immortal, at least she is a disciple of the immortal family, right? Now that we are desperate, we are asking the immortal disciples to save us, please don't stop Your Highness! ”

I don't know if it's because of the hope of survival, his confidence in speaking is obviously much more than just now.

Shen Yuli was forced to laugh angrily at him: "Haven't you people woken up yet?" Now, even if there are immortals who have saved your lives, it is a capital crime for you to cause your father to have a high fever and not go away from it! What immortal is so idle that he wants to save you mortal people? ”

The Taoist priest had indeed forgotten this verse before, and he couldn't help but be frightened when he thought about it at this time, and he hurriedly said for a long time: "The grass people are guilty, please ask Your Highness for mercy!" Your Majesty's illness is indeed just an evil disorder, and there are fairy ladies who will inevitably get rid of the disease, and mediocre people like grass people will not harm Your Majesty, so ......"

"This king doesn't understand this truth." Shen Yuli said coldly, "Whether it is the imperial doctor or the 'fairy lady' in your mouth who saved his father, it is all their credit, what does it have to do with you?" Where do you come from such a big face that you want to take away your sins with the merits of others? ”

The Taoist priest couldn't answer, so he could only keep kowtowing and shouting, "The fairy lady has immeasurable merit."

Huan Lin watched Shen Yuli's face become more and more ugly, and gradually regained his taste in his heart, and finally knew that things were not simple, so he immediately slapped the table angrily: "Don't pour me any ecstasy soup that is not immortal and meritorious!" If I really save you moths, then it will be called a curse! ”

"Not bad." Shen Yuli nodded in agreement and stood up: "Since you have already confessed your guilt, let's ask and behead according to the law!" ”

The Taoist priests seemed to remember that they had committed a capital crime, and they were busy kowtowing and begging for mercy, but the guards next to them were already impatient, and they all came forward to hold them down, gagged their mouths and tied their hands, and prepared to drag them down to ask for beheading.

Seeing this, Huan Lin was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly, the Taoist priest headed by him suddenly shook off the guards, pounced on her leg and began to cry: "Fairy lady, fairy lady!" The grass people are guilty and dare not beg for mercy, but Your Majesty is still suffering, you can't see death without help, right? You said you could connect with ghosts and spirits......"

"What a mess!" Shen Yuli's face sank, "Drag it out, ask and behead it immediately!" ”

The guards were promising to tie people up, but a large group of people outside hula surrounded the eldest prince Shen Dehei, and before anyone arrived, they came first: "Fourth brother, such a big case is related to the condition of my father, can't you be so hasty?" ”

Shen Yuli greeted him out of the door and greeted him calmly: "Big brother." This group of thieves has confessed their sins, if they don't ask for beheading, what more do they want? ”

"Of course you have to ask for a confession," Shen Desi narrowed his eyes and smiled meaningfully: "It's just that time is so rushed, and there is not much left in the case file, and I am afraid that you will fall into the hands of people in the future, and be said to be in a hurry to kill people and kill people!" ”

"Big brother is too worried," Shen Yuli lowered his face coldly, "The prisoner has confessed, and Dali Temple will record it, so you really don't need to worry about it, big brother." I heard that the imperial doctor said that you have been infected with wind and cold recently, so you should take good care of your body in your own palace! ”

This is to understand that he is picking people up, but Shen Desi came in and sat down, and crossed Erlang's legs: "Fourth brother, is this a weak heart?" The trial was so lively before, why did you have to pick up people as soon as the foolish brother came? ”

"Because it's already over!" Huan Lin shouted at him unceremoniously, "Hey, you are also a prince, and you are not a scoundrel on the street, why do you have such a thick skin to interfere with other people's affairs?" Do you know how annoying this is? ”

"Not only annoying, but also guilty." Shen Yuli added, "This case was handed over to this king by the emperor's name, and others arbitrarily interfered, which is considered to be ultra vires." ”

Huanlin clapped his hands: "Oh, I see! What is this called, 'wolf ambition, obvious'! ”

Shen Yuli nodded in approval: "This idiom is used well. ”

Shen Desi laughed out loud beside him: "The two of you sing and harmonize, just want to buckle a big hat on my head and say that I am taking advantage of my father's illness." But please don't forget, my father is just sick, and there is still time to get better! What kind of methods do you secretly use, do you really think that your father doesn't know? Do you really think that if you kill these Taoist priests, the truth of the matter will be buried in the ground forever? ”

As he spoke, a eunuch he brought over "accidentally" squeezed a few steps to the Taoist priests, and tore off the cloth stuffed in the mouth of the leader.

The Taoist priest immediately seized the opportunity to scream: "It was His Royal Highness King Qing who asked us to do this!" Your Royal Highness the Great Prince, help! At the beginning, our Guan Zhu said that he didn't know the details of the evil in the palace, and this matter should not be rashly done, but His Royal Highness King Qing patted his chest and said that it was absolutely fine, and the Guan Zhu reluctantly agreed...... His Royal Highness, the girl beside King Qing can communicate with ghosts and gods, she must know that this matter is not simple, maybe it was to provoke those evil spirits in the first place, so as to murder Your Majesty......"

At the moment of life and death, he said this very quickly, as if there was a ghost next to him waiting to collect his tongue.

Huan Lin didn't find a chance to interrupt, and finally couldn't help but blush with anger: "How can you bastard talk about it?" I can't make up stories, if my Royal Highness really wants to do bad things, can you use you who can't make up your weapons? ”

"Around the forest." Shen Yuli shook his head and pressed her hand: "There is no need to argue with such crazy people. ”

After saying that, he turned to Shen Desi again: "What is the truth of the matter, you and I know it in our hearts." If you want to take the opportunity to make waves, this king will accompany you to the end. - Commander Zhen, go and kill these demons first! ”

The commander of the guards did not hesitate at all, and immediately waved his hand and led his subordinates to take a group of weak-legged Taoist priests down.

Shen Desi subconsciously stood up and chased two steps, and when he saw that the guards ignored him, he turned around and sat back, staring at Shen Yuli: "Fourth brother is now starting to cover the sky with one hand?" ”

"It's not that this king wants to cover the sky with one hand." Shen Yuli sat steadily, not looking at him: "It's the sky that is about to fall." The king is trying to hold him up, and you want to take advantage of the opportunity to poke a hole. ”

Shen Desi smiled: "I've never been close to you, I really didn't know that you still hid such a pair of sharp teeth!" I can't win against you, but don't be complacent too early, wait for your father to get better! ”

"Of course," Shen Yuli's expression was flat, "My father is well, it is a great joy to celebrate all over the world, not only I am good-looking, but everyone in the world is good-looking." ”

Shen Desi squinted his eyes and looked at the hall, sneered twice, and walked out with his sleeves flicked.

Shen Yuli didn't let people send it, the atmosphere in the hall was a little depressing, and even the guards came back to report that the Taoist priests had asked for beheading, but it didn't make people much easier.

Huanlin pulled Shen Yuli's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Am I in trouble?" ”

"How so?" Shen Yuli lowered his head and smiled at her, "It's the Taoist priest who dies now, and the next ones who will be unlucky are those who harm us, we don't have a 'disaster'." ”

These words did not reassure Huanlin. She sat sullenly for a while, and then shook her head: "I still don't think it's right: if I hadn't talked about the great beauty in public, those Taoist priests wouldn't have talked nonsense......

"But if you don't mention that incident, those Taoist priests won't confess their sins easily." Shen Yuli comforted.

Circling the forest will be skeptical.

Shen Yuli grabbed her hand and smiled: "Don't be afraid, the next thing is still beneficial to us." Others dig their own graves to bury themselves, let's just watch the excitement. ”

He said these words firmly, and Huan Lin couldn't see the worried look on his face, and finally gradually put his mind at ease.

Then soon the news of the emperor's summons was heard. Shen Yuli didn't shirk it at all, and rushed over with him around the forest without stopping.

Obviously, the emperor's complexion was not good. He had already summoned two groups of ministers today, and was pestered by the concubines and princesses and princesses to talk for a while, and at this time he was feeling chest tightness and shortness of breath, and his face and neck were full of sweat.

Shen Yuli entered the door and saluted, calmly: "Father, the Taoists of the Taiji Hall have confessed their guilt, and this disaster is indeed due to their poor skills and their failure to confront the evil in the palace. The Taoist priests are arrogant and have caused such a great calamity, and the crime cannot be punished! Erchen has ordered all of them to be killed, and he is here to restore his life! ”

"Very well, you come back to your life." The emperor leaned on the pillow and gasped, obviously breathing, and his beard trembled: "I see that you are here to ask for my life!" ”

Shen Yuli frowned: "Why did my father say this?" ”

"Hmph," the Emperor glanced at him with his eyelids, "and you don't know anything when you think I'm dying?" I ask you: Even if those Taoist priests are guilty, why are they in such a hurry to kill? ”

Shen Yuli was straightforward: "Naturally, because of the deep sin, I don't wait for autumn!" Because of the mistakes of those fools, the palace was in chaos and the body of the father and emperor was damaged, so should they still be kept to spend money and food? ”

"You have a reason," the emperor snapped, and pointed his hand at him tremblingly, as if he could not speak.

Seeing this, Concubine Ye Guifei next to her frowned worriedly, and said for him: "Your Royal Highness, this case is indeed too impatient. Even if those Taoist priests are guilty, they should be sent to ask His Majesty a few words, which can not only explain to the government and the opposition, but also avoid making rumors like now! ”

"What are the rumors in the palace?" Shen Yuli's face sank, "Father's Holy Body is against harmony, the world is uneasy, and rumors are the most taboo!" ”

Ye Guifei touched the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief and sighed: "This time the rumors are not for anything else, but about you." ”

Shen Yuli breathed a sigh of relief: "That's okay. Erchen sits upright, why not be afraid of rumors! ”

"Hmph, you're not afraid!" The emperor was so angry that he almost sat up, and his eyes glared at the boss: "You are going to cover the sky with one hand in this palace!" It's all here, you might as well tell me the truth, how many days are you going to let me live? ”

"Why did my father say this?" Shen Yuli was shocked.

Ye Guifei sighed repeatedly, hurriedly leaned over to pat the emperor's chest and persuade softly: "Your Majesty, calm your anger, the rumors have no evidence after all, most of them are made up by people with ulterior motives to divide the relationship between you and the father and son of the Fourth Highness!" ”

After persuading this, she got up again and sighed to Shen Yuli: "Now it has been spread all over the palace, saying that those Taoist priests did such things at your behest, and now you are in a hurry to try the case and kill them in order to extinguish the mouth; Others say that the minions around you ......"

Her gaze fell on Huan Lin's body, and her brows tightened a little: "It is said that your slave can pass through ghosts and gods, and you are called 'fairy lady' by that group of Taoist priests." ”

Shen Yuli laughed out loud: "Fairy lady? Could it be that you mean going around the forest? That's really ...... The stupid words of the Taoist priest who climbed and bit indiscriminately before he died, and he didn't even believe the dog at the door, which one came out? ”

"That's it!" Huan Lin also echoed, "Those fools who talk nonsense are really smaller than shrimp!" If I were really a fairy lady, I would take off with the Four Highnesses! Why am I still angry in the world, being a little girl who is scolded at every turn! ”

Ye Guifei looked at her and sighed, and didn't ask any more.

The Emperor clearly did not intend to leave it at that. His face was dark and gloomy, and he looked at Shen Yuli: "So, you don't admit it?" ”

"Father," Shen Yuli smiled, looking helpless: "Nonsense, even if the son wants to admit his guilt, he really can't admit it!" ”

The emperor continued to sneer, and looked at Huan Lin again: "Last time the palace was haunted, you happened to come to Qian Zhaorong's palace to 'rescue'; Is it all a coincidence? ”

Listening to the meaning of this, he actually knew very well about the interrogation of the Taiji Hall just now.

Huanlin couldn't answer, so Shen Yuli said for her: "Huanlin naturally can't see ghosts and gods. The words that I said in the Taiji Hall were just a method that the two of us came up with in order to force the Taoists to confess as soon as possible without committing punishment. In order to save their lives, those Taoists refused to let go, if there was no such plan, I don't know how long this case would be hanging! ”

This time, long after he finished speaking, the emperor did not speak. Shen Yuli didn't seem to be in a hurry, he bowed slightly and knelt on the ground, his attitude was very deferential.

After a long time, Ye Guifei sighed softly: "So, Your Highness has wronged you?" ”

"Big brother?" Shen Yuli was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Which ignorant slave came out to shout, it turned out that the eldest brother misunderstood!" Father, concubine, this matter is really ...... When the eldest brother went to the Taiji Palace, he was just in time for the eunuch who was the leader, and shouted that the ritual was arranged for them to be done by the sons, and then he hugged the eldest brother's leg and begged for help, meaning to help the eldest brother bring me down......"

"You're a quibble!" The emperor hissed and scolded, "People are dying, and their words are good!" Can he lie at that time? ”

Shen Yuli raised his head and met his gaze: "Father, 'A person is about to die, and his words are good' is just a common saying in the market. In summary, only those who die peacefully and old will 'speak well', while those who are heinous and bad will only go crazy and talk nonsense before they die. ”

The emperor thought about it, but was speechless.

He was born as a military general, and he has seen many dead people, but there are indeed few who are "good at his words".

But he didn't plan to argue with his son about colloquialisms and slang today. He still looked at the forest again, aggressive: "You can't understand ghosts and gods, and you don't understand witchcraft? Then why would someone say that you jumped more than three feet high in the Taiji Hall just now and jumped directly from your chair to the back of the stove? And why...... There will be rumors in the Qingwang Mansion that you are friendly with a cat demon, and it has also burned the gate of the palace for you? ”

"Father, this is a complete misunderstanding!" Shen Yuli pressed Huanlin's hand and hurriedly replied: "In the Taiji Hall before, Huanlin did jump for a while, but she was originally squatting on a chair, and it was not difficult to jump more than three feet high. She was originally good at running and jumping, and those Taoist priests and minions were rare and strange. As for the matter of the cat demon in Qingwangfu, it is actually not a real demon, but a juggler who knows illusion when he went to the street a few days ago, and he has a grudge so he deliberately went to the palace to make trouble......"

"That's it!" The Emperor slapped the pillow heavily and interrupted him impatiently: "I understand what you mean: you have made up your mind to pretend to be stupid, and wait for me to breathe so that I can make way for you!" ”

As soon as his words fell, Ye Guifei suddenly turned around and knelt down to Shen Yuli: "His Royal Highness King Qing, now that His Majesty is seriously ill, this palace only asks you the truth: Can you save it?" If Huanlin can really pass through the ghosts and gods and save His Majesty's life, His Majesty will pass on the throne to you immediately, so what's the matter! ”

The emperor gasped and did not refute, and the palace attendants in the palace were so frightened that they knelt down.

Shen Yuli was silent for a long time, and shook his head: "The noble concubine must not be like this. As a courtier, how can he not think of his father's illness! If Huanlin really has the ability to communicate with ghosts and gods, Erchen is desperately regarded as a demon by the people of the world, and he will try to save it at any cost, how can he be as suspenseful and helpless as he is now! ”
