Xie Fenghua sat in the carriage with a calm face, without the slightest sense of nervousness that the emperor should have.

After all, those two people, she is so familiar that she can't be more familiar, and when she meets again, it's almost the same to pick up a knife and cut a few times, if you say you're nervous, it's absolutely impossible.

Yuan Minzhou also saw this, and glanced at her from time to time along the way, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The carriage stopped in front of the palace gate, Xie Fenghua lifted the curtain and jumped down, looking up at the towering palace city. The last time she was appointed as a marshal to lead the troops to the battle, she still remembered vividly, but she didn't want to, after more than half a year, she returned here.

- in an identity that no one could have imagined.

She followed the line of sight, but saw a man looking at her with burning eyes, and when she saw her looking back, a trace of surprise crossed her eyes, as if he hesitated, and walked towards her.

At this time, Yuan Minzhou also stepped out of the car.

When the man saw Yuan Minzhou, he immediately stopped, withdrew his gaze, and said respectfully: "I've seen Master Hou." ”

Yuan Minzhou bowed his head slightly and left with Xie Fenghua.

It wasn't until he walked far away that Xie Fenghua said thoughtfully: "Who is that person?" ”

"Second Young Master of the Du family, Du Huaishao." Yuan Minzhou remembered the man's scrutinizing gaze, suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart, looked at her again, and after a while, he wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "The momentum on your body, it's better to take it away!" ”

is obviously a little-known little girl, but she can still learn this bluffing momentum, is this the so-called sister inheritance?

Xie Fenghua's thoughts were still on Du Huaishao, and he couldn't take it back for a while, and he just responded casually when he heard the words: "This is not something I can control!" Inherited from my sister, what can I do? ”

At this time, she suddenly felt that the shield of "sister" was better than anything else.

After a short time, the two of them came to the Frost Cloud Hall where the banquet was held. Xie Fenghua wanted to walk in with Yuan Minzhou, but a little eunuch stood at the door and stopped her euphemistically.

"What's going on?" Yuan Minzhou asked with a twisted eyebrow.

He has a noble status and extraordinary bearing, and this fluttering sentence also makes people feel a sense of oppression.

The little eunuch secretly wiped his sweat and said stubbornly: "Back to the Hou Ye, this is the order of the queen's mother, and the slave is just acting on orders." ”

Xie Fenghua couldn't laugh or cry.

What is this?

Specially given her dismount?

Could it be that Du Pingfei has been immersed in the harem for so many years before he learned this inferior trick?

Yuan Minzhou looked at her curiously, not understanding how she could still laugh at this time!

Xie Fenghua shook his head and said to him: "Since it is the queen's order, it is not good for us to disobey the order." Go in first, I'll wait here for the summons from within!" ”

Seeing that he still wanted to say something, Xie Fenghua pushed him in, "Don't worry, I won't suffer." ”

The little eunuch looked at it dumbfounded, and coldly looked at Xie Fenghua's looking back, suddenly felt his heart tighten, and quickly lowered his head.

Xie Fenghua estimated that the time for dismounting would not be too short, and he did not wait obediently at the door of the Frost Cloud Palace, but took advantage of the fact that the palace people were not paying attention, and went to take a few turns nearby.

In her previous life, she stayed at the border all year round, and the number of times she could enter the palace was only a handful, and some places were not too familiar, so she walked away for a while, and when she realized that the hour was almost the same, she turned back the same way.

And the little eunuch guarding the door of the Frost Cloud Hall almost cried when he saw her, and trotted up to meet her and said urgently: "Second Miss Xie, where have you been running away for a while?" The emperor and queen have already entered the main hall, and they have announced you several times! ”

"Oh. Got it. Xie Fenghua looked indifferent.

Dare to give her a horse?

Wait or wait...... Die!

The little eunuch's body shook, and he suddenly felt a murderous aura!

……

The Frost Cloud Hall was already full.

After reading the summons a few times, he didn't see Xie Fenghua's figure, and the chief eunuch Lu Gonggong, who was serving beside the emperor, couldn't stand still at this time, and hurriedly trotted to the palace gate, but his body froze at that moment.

Everyone was curious, but they saw a woman walking in, slender and tall, with clear and handsome eyebrows, bright and faintly sharp eyes, and the light of the eyes flowed, like a blade, like a sword blade.

She was wearing a pink dress, which was a delicate and bright color, but it lit her complexion for no reason. And her expression was calm and steady, just suppressed the brightness a little, and there was a sense of arrogance in her gestures.

Everyone in the hall was stunned.

Yuan Minzhou couldn't help but hold his forehead.

This momentum really can't even suppress pink, and I knew that I should let her be wrapped in a coarse linen dress.

That's what makes it easier!

Xie Fenghua didn't realize that she had been reduced to the point of being wrapped in coarse linen clothes, and her sharp eyes turned and fell on the two young men and women above. But seeing Zhao Pei staring at her deadly, the Shuanglong Playing Bead Glass Cup was deformed in his hand, and it was half tilted at the moment, and the Qiong Jelly and Jade Brew overflowed with a full hand.

The crisp aroma of wine suddenly wafted between the thrones, and Du Ping came back to his senses violently, glanced at the young emperor beside him, and a trace of yin owl flashed in his eyes very quickly.

She pursed her lips, picked up the white jade tea cup from the table, poured a cup of tea, handed it to him, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, wine hurts your body a lot, it's better to drink some tea!" ”

Zhao Pei woke up suddenly, and with a somewhat dazed expression, he took the teacup and brought it to his lips to hide his surging heart at the moment.

In the silence, someone shouted, "Bold! When you see the emperor and queen, you don't kneel down and salute? ”

Xie Fenghua's eyebrows jumped, and he unconsciously looked at Du Pingfei.

And Du Pingfei has already recovered the posture of his mother, and he met her gaze at this moment, with a little pride in his expression.

What about Xie Fenghua's sister?

It's not the same to bow down when you see her?

Xie Fenghua also thought of this, and his brows furrowed deeply.

In the past, she was an important minister of the imperial court and held a heavy army, and Zhao Pei once exempted her from kneeling in front of hundreds of civil and military officials. But now she has no power and no power, and her status is low, so she has to kneel.

However, let her kneel Du Pingfei?

It's better to let her learn Gong Fanchao to hit the pillar!

She thought about it so hatefully, raised her eyes to look at Yuan Minzhou, he seemed to be surprised by her reaction, her lips moved slightly, and she vaguely recognized the word - kneel!

Do you really want to kneel?

Xie Fenghua was very unwilling, seeing that the expressions of everyone in the hall were already a little different, he gritted his teeth and silently recited a sentence to endure the calm for a while, and then bent his knees at a very slow speed, but his eyes stared at Zhao Pei and shouted: "Courtiers see the emperor and queen!" ”

Shouting and scolding Zhao Pei for flashing his tongue!

"Excuse me!"

Zhao Pei's voice finally came from above, Xie Fenghua was overjoyed, and his knees, which had not bent much, suddenly stood up straight, and his voice was a little louder than just now, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

She decided!

- Retract the scolding you just had.

"Your Majesty!" Du Pingfei turned his head in disbelief, but when he touched Zhao Pei's majestic and cold face, he stopped speaking.

But she was unwilling in the end. She couldn't decide Zhao Pei's actions, but she could take out her anger at the Xie family.

Before Xie Fenghua sat down, she suddenly said aloud: "I heard that Miss Xie Er likes to dance with swords and swords, and she has the feminine spirit of Marshal Xie galloping on the battlefield. It's better to show it to everyone, and let the Manchu Dynasty civil and military admire the demeanor of Marshal Xie's sisters! ”

Are you so aggressive?

Xie Fenghua's half-bent body paused, and then slowly stood up straight, smiling coldly.

"Mother's will, don't dare to disobey!" She raised her chin slightly, her posture was proud, and she smiled, "I don't know how the mother wants the courtiers to show it?" ”

Du Pingfei stood up suddenly, walked slowly in front of her, and said with a smile: "This palace has had the honor to learn martial arts with Marshal Xie for a period of time, although it can't be said that I learned her essence, but it's not too bad!" I heard that you are also a teacher of Marshal Xie, so you might as well try it with this palace! ”

Compete with her in martial arts?

Xie Fenghua wanted to laugh a little.

Du Pingfei has a few catties and taels, she knows best. Now he proposed to compete with her, but nine times out of ten he didn't feel good. But in front of everyone's eyes, she couldn't refuse forcefully, and she was silent for a while.

Everyone in the hall looked like they were watching a good show.

These people, with a keen sense of smell, naturally sensed Queen Du's intention to target Miss Xie Er. Although they don't know why, the fire can't burn their heads, and they are happy to watch this scene.

Xu sensed Xie Fenghua's hesitation, Du Pingfei did not urge, but turned to look at Zhao Pei, who was the head of the head, and said elegantly: "Your Majesty, the concubine has not used force for a long time, and today I saw Marshal Xie's sister, and I was happy for a while and wanted to indulge it, you won't blame the concubine, right?" ”

Zhao Pei's eyes were as quiet as an abyss, and he stared quietly for a while before he looked at Xie Fenghua, who was silent, and said lightly: "Naturally not." It's just that you need to pay attention to proportions during the competition and don't hurt each other. ”

But it was settled in one word.

Xie Fenghua didn't say a word, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Yuan Minzhou's action of wanting to get up and leave his seat, and his heart suddenly tightened, for fear that he would do something stupid in front of everyone, so he hurriedly raised his hand and pressed it in the void.

The movement was gentle and steady, and there was a strange, calming power, as if pressed on Yuan Minzhou's shoulder, he stared at her, and suddenly sat back down.

He could use the authority he had to protect her at any time, but he also gave her the most basic respect and freedom - if she didn't let her interfere, then sit and see!

In the main hall, the young son of heaven had already spoken out, and even though Xie Fenghua was suspicious of Du Pingfei's motives, he could not protest in court. She straightened up, walked to the center of the hall, arched her hand at Du Pingfei, and said, "Queen Mother, please!" ”

"In that case, this palace is welcome!" Du Pingfei hooked, a touch of coldness almost invisible on his face, then raised his hand into a fist, moved his footsteps lightly, and rushed towards Xie Fenghua.

Xie Fenghua is a person who has been on the battlefield, so he naturally looks down on Du Pingfei's fist embroidered legs. But she didn't take it lightly, she always distanced herself from Du Pingfei during the whole process, and her eyes turned slyly and smartly, always on guard against unknown traps.

Because this competition was improvised, both of them were wearing cumbersome dresses, especially Du Pingfei's complicated palace clothes, and when his body turned, everyone was dazzled.

After more than a dozen moves, everyone in the hall wanted to doze off - among these dozen moves, they only saw the queen mother constantly taking the initiative to attack, Miss Xie Er kept retreating and defending, not to mention fighting between the two, there was no basic physical contact.

It's really, boring!

But Xie Fenghua didn't feel bored, after this short fight, she had already sensed Du Pingfei's true intentions. Because of this, she needs to concentrate on dealing with the tricks that she doesn't know when. This way of defending seems to be very easy, but in fact, I am a little impatient in my heart.

At this moment, Du Pingfei's body turned, but his feet were tripped by the complicated skirt, and his body fell straight back.

Xie Fenghua subconsciously stretched out his hand and pulled her, and at this moment, her waist was forced, and her body was pulled back, but she fell to Xie Fenghua's body.

Xie Fenghua immediately stretched out his hand to push Du Ping out, but when he heard her snort, a painful expression suddenly appeared on his face, but there was a faint smug in his eyes.

Xie Fenghua secretly said that it was not good, at this moment, the palm of her hand was cold, and then something was stuffed into it, her pupils shrank, and she wanted to stuff this thing into Du Pingfei's sleeve, but she didn't want to, Du Pingfei had already screamed, and her body was crooked, and she fell to the ground.

Xie Fenghua looked down, his eyes narrowing suddenly.

She held a hairpin in her hand, the tip of which was still dripping with blood, and it hung down like silk.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden change.

At first, I only saw two offensive and defensive people approaching once, but I didn't know the moves and calculations hidden in the wide sleeves, and I was dumbfounded all of a sudden.

"Niangniang, Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" Yuehe stumbled to Du Pingfei's side, picked her up, and shouted in a panic, "Doctor Tai, come and show Niangniang!" ”

Everyone woke up suddenly, and Imperial Doctor Xu, who was sitting in the banquet, hurriedly trotted over, and didn't care about the dignity of men and women, so he gave Du Pingfei his pulse.

With this pulse, Imperial Physician Xu's face turned a little pale, and he couldn't believe it: "Niangniang...... Mother, this is poisoned! ”

"What's going on?" Zhao Pei walked over, glanced at Du Pingfei, whose face was purple, and shouted in a deep voice, "Imperial Doctor Xu, what's wrong with the queen?" ”

Imperial Physician Xu hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said in fear: "Back to the emperor, Niangniang was poisoned and was stabbed in the abdomen!" If you don't hurry up to detoxify and heal Niangniang, I'm afraid the situation is not very good! ”

Zhao Pei glanced at Du Pingfei, who had fallen into a coma, and ordered, "Why don't you hurry down and detoxify and treat the queen?" If anything goes wrong with the Queen, I want your heads! ”

Imperial Physician Xu wiped his cold sweat and retreated, and the well-behaved palace banquet saw blood, so naturally it couldn't go on, and it immediately became a place to denounce justice.

I saw Du Hongxin walk out, knelt down straight in front of Zhao Pei, and said indignantly: "Your Majesty, Miss Xie Er assassinated the queen in public, the crime is unforgivable, please order the emperor to drag her out and behead her to show the public, so as to comfort the queen's phoenix health!" ”

Immediately afterwards, a number of imperial histories also came out, all of whom asked for severe punishment of the murderer.

Zhao Pei's eyes swept over the backs of those courtiers one by one, then looked at Xie Fenghua and asked, "Second Miss Xie, what do you have to say?" ”

"Your Majesty, if you want to add to the crime, why should you do anything?" Xie Fenghua glanced at the people kneeling in the hall to denounce justice, and there was a touch of disdain in his eyes.

As everyone knows, her indifferent attitude angered Du Hongxin, but she heard him say angrily: "Miss Xie Er, you are still quibbling? In front of everyone's eyes, everyone saw you stabbing the queen with a hairpin, and there were all the human and material evidence, do you think you can escape? ”

Xie Fenghua lowered his head, looked at the hairpin in his hand, and sneered: "I didn't do anything, why should I run away and quibble?" ”

Seeing that he wanted to say something, Xie Fenghua had no patience to deal with it, but looked up at Zhao Pei, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and asked lightly: "Your Majesty, the courtiers did not assassinate the queen, nor did they poison it, so you can believe it?" ”

Zhao Pei was stunned and speechless for a while.

At this moment, she is still smiling at the corners of her mouth, which is obviously a major matter of human life, and it seems that it has become worthless to her here.

Is it the certainty of victory, or is it ignorance and fearlessness?

Zhao Pei's heart was a little complicated. From the moment this person stepped into the temple door, the calm and contemptuous temperament on her body had already made him feel uneasy. In her, he seemed to see the shadow of that person.

But there were so many people kneeling in the hall, he was bound to make a statement, so he also asked, "Since you said that you didn't do this, what is the evidence?" ”

Where is the evidence?

Du Pingfei worked hard to act in this play, and did not hesitate to use himself as bait to force her to a dead end, and she couldn't do it if she wanted to.

Such a clumsy situation, but it is also the most effective to trap her - what crime can be simpler and more brutal than assassinating the queen in full view?

It seems that she still underestimated Du Pingfei!

Xie Fenghua was silent for a while, Du Hongxin thought that she was at a loss, and he also had confidence in his heart, and continued to be unrelenting: "The emperor is a clear guide." Miss Xie Er is ruthless and vicious, and she should be killed! ”

Hearing this, Xie Fenghua also cooled his face, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and they scraped straight on his face.

For a moment, the two looked at each other, and there seemed to be fire in their eyes.

Suddenly, a chuckle broke the tense atmosphere of the moment.

Everyone looked at it, but saw Yuan Minzhou walk out, took the hairpin in Xie Fenghua's hand, looked at it carefully, and then said slowly: "Why don't I remember that you still brought the hairpin with you?" ”

Du Hongxin's face changed, and he was about to say something, when he saw Yuan Minzhou turning his head to look at him, and smiled incomprehensibly, "Master Du, I forgot to tell you, Miss Xie Er's clothes and jewelry were all purchased for her by Benhou." But Ben Hou never remembered that he had prepared such a hairpin! Did this come out of nowhere? ”

When he said this, everyone's eyes looking at Xie Fenghua suddenly became strange.

What is strange for some people is that when did the relationship between Miss Xie Er and Dingyuan Marquis reach the point of buying clothes and jewelry for each other?

Another part is strange that if this hairpin belongs to Miss Xie Er, then it was also taken from the Marquis of Dingyuan. Doubting Miss Xie Er, isn't it doubting Dingyuanhou?

Can the Marquis of Dingyuan assassinate the queen?

Just kidding, right?

In a whisper, Yuan Minzhou said again: "You said that Miss Xie Er assassinated the queen's mother, but there is a motive?" ”

"The motive is naturally that she is dissatisfied with the queen's invitation to fight, and she wants to make a name for herself through this." The more Du Hongxin spoke, the more justified he became, and he immediately kowtowed to Zhao Pei, "Your Majesty, the queen mother is still in danger, how can you let the murderer go unpunished?" Please send a decree to the emperor to find out the truth and give justice to the queen! ”

"I also hope that the emperor can find out the truth as soon as possible and give me justice!" Xie Fenghua snorted coldly and said angrily.

Seeing that a large number of people were already kneeling in the Frost Cloud Palace, Zhao Pei's eyes flashed, and then he issued an order: "Xie Yinghua openly assassinated the queen, and from now on he will be escorted to Dali Temple to listen to the interrogation." ”

"The Emperor Shengming!"

Xie Fenghua's eyes were dark, and he glanced at the guards of the Frost Cloud Hall who were walking towards her, and there was a murderous aura all over his body.

"Don't worry. You'll be fine with me. Yuan Minzhou comforted her in a low voice.

Xie Fenghua nodded, glanced at the hairpin in his hand, and whispered, "Pay attention to the palace maid named Yuehe next to Queen Du." ”

With that, she threw up her sleeves and walked away.

It wasn't until the slender back disappeared from view that Yuan Minzhou slowly retracted his gaze. He kept turning the hairpin in his hand, and the light in the hall seemed to gather at the tip of the hairpin, reflecting a chilling killing intent in his eyes.

……

After Du Pingfei was carried down, Imperial Doctor Xu treated her and prescribed medicine, and soon woke up.

"Mother, you're awake! It scared the slave to death! Yuehe cried with joy, helped her up, brought her another glass of water, and served her to drink.

Du Pingfei showed a smug smile on his face, patted her shoulder, and said, "This point is scared?" I've been with Hongu for so long, why are you still so daring? ”

"You're quite bold." Xiao Yao turned from behind the screen, holding a bowl of medicine in his hand, and said unhappily, "You actually even made it to risk yourself, so you want to get rid of that Miss Xie Er?" ”

"Yes!" Du Pingfei nodded decisively, with a hint of murder in his long narrow eyes, "Before I see her, this palace may still spare her life." But when he saw her, Hongu wanted her to die! ”

That Xie Er is really too much like Xie Fenghua!

Therefore, she took the initiative to take the initiative temporarily, and asked Yuehe to smear poison on the hairpin, and in the name of the competition, she found an opportunity to plant blame.

Who would have thought that Xie Er was also extremely vigilant, and he refused to let her get close, and she almost couldn't find a chance to start.

Fortunately, in the end, I got my wish!

"What's going on now?" She asked suddenly.

Xiao Yao said: "The emperor decreed that Miss Xie Er be taken into custody in Dali Temple to listen to interrogation. If no evidence can be found, then what awaits her will be a prison sentence. ”

But he didn't want to, Du Pingfei was extremely dissatisfied, "Why is it just taken into custody?" The palace was so seriously injured, why didn't the emperor behead her for public display? ”

Xiao Yao disagreed, "Don't you worry, she will find out that it's your hands and feet?" ”

"Even if you know it's Hongu's hands and feet, so what?" Du Pingfei snorted coldly, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, "As long as she can't find evidence, she can't prove her innocence." Don't you think it's more crazy and unwilling to let her know why she died but can't change the ending than to die unjustly? ”

Xiao Yao was silent.

It wasn't the first time he had seen her methods, but every time he was terrified. However, he didn't have the heart to dwell on it so much, Hengzhi owed her his life, and all he needed to do was to protect her safety.

Du Pingfei didn't know what he was thinking, and he was still thinking about how to deal with it. She doesn't like blunt knives to kill, since Xie Fenghua didn't go directly to Huangquan Road, it is better to let her give her a ride!

She summoned Xiao Yao and said a few words in his ear, but saw Xiao Yao with a blue face, threw up his sleeves and walked out, leaving only two angry words behind him - crazy!
