Everyone wants the credit, but if it is the credit that will cause the day** annoyance, then it has to be said separately, obviously, the credit in Yan Desheng's arms now belongs to the latter, in Yan Desheng's view, this thing is not so much a credit, but a big trouble, a careless, bad guy has to move, if you can push this seemingly considerable "credit" out, Yan Desheng will definitely not have the slightest hesitation, but unfortunately he can't, Not only is it because the two princes are not easy to mess with, but also because the case is really too important, so that Yan Desheng did not dare to take the slightest risk, so he could only take this obviously hot potato.

Reason? It's very simple, as the executor of this "Fox Hunting Plan", Yan Desheng naturally knows very well what the whole case is about, and how can he really believe the so-called true evidence concocted by the two princes, in his opinion, those so-called confessions are either fake, or tortured into recruitment, and there is absolutely no half of the truth in it, but what can it be? Yan Desheng neither dared nor could question the authenticity of these evidences, just because the Empress Wu was obviously happy to see that things could end like this, obviously, in the case of not knowing whether the two princes had other back-ups, Yan Desheng actually did not dare to completely put the dominance of this matter in the hands of the two princes, only by biting the evidence at hand can it be ensured, as for the consequences of this case if it is revealed in the future, Yan Desheng can no longer take care of it, in fact, even if the two princes do not urge, Yan Desheng actually wished to close the case before the royal car, so even if Yan Desheng seemed to be unwilling to take on the responsibility of the chief judge of the case on the surface, but there was no delay and hesitation all the way back to the palace, and before dawn, he had accompanied Li Xian and the brothers all the way to the main hall of the palace.

At three o'clock in the morning, the gloomy sky not only did not clear, but it snowed, although it was not too big, but the wind became colder and colder, poor Li Xian and others stood right on the tuyere, and they were all frozen enough by the wind and snow when they landed, and they were waiting to see him at this time, and there was nowhere to hide, Yan Desheng didn't care, there was no expression on a fat face, as for Li Xian, he was used to practicing in the wind and snow these days, and under the attack of such a sudden wind and snow, although he was a little uncomfortable, he could still hold on, Li Xian, who was used to being pampered alone, trembled and didn't speak, and sneezed a long line one after another, Yingting's face was frozen white and blue, and he was so embarrassed that he couldn't help it.

"Your Majesty's dictation, Li Xian, King of Xuanlu, Li Xian, King of Zhou, and Yan Desheng, the director of Yide Palace, have entered the internal audience!"

Just as Li Xian was sneezing non-stop, the eunuch Gao Hesheng led several small eunuchs out of the inner hall in a hurry, stood on the high steps, and announced Gaozong's edict in a procrastinating manner.

"Sons and ministers obey the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Hearing that they finally got Gaozong's will, Li Xian and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hurried to their respective courtesy, and did not have much conversation, hurriedly went up the steps, rushed towards the inner hall, all the way through the main hall, the corridor, until the apse, only to turn a screen, into the eyes to see Gaozong lying on the couch, with several soft cushions under his body, covered with a thick quilt, with a hot towel on his forehead, a haggard and pale face, as if he was seriously ill, and the Empress Wu sat on the edge of the couch with a gentle face, It seemed to be carefully admonishing Gaozong Shizi, Li Xian and the others didn't dare to take a closer look, so they hurriedly rushed forward and saw the big gift.

"Sons and daughters will knock on the father and the queen!"

The Li Xian brothers saluted side by side, the difference was that Li Xian's voice was calm, while Li Xian's voice was cold, his voice trembled, and the volume was pitifully small, as for Yan Desheng, he just knelt three steps behind Li Xian's brothers in a regular manner, and did not say anything to say hello.

Gaozong's mental state was obviously very poor, although he heard the salute of the little brothers, he didn't say anything, but raised his arm slightly, and then he forgot the matter, but the Empress Wu on the side said in an empathetic manner: "Xian'er and Xian'er have been busy all night, they should be tired, so let's get up and talk back." ”

"The sons and daughters are waiting to thank the father and the queen mother."

Empress Wu's words seem to be bland at first glance, but in fact it is not so simple, there is a trap hidden inside, that is to say that it was the Li Xian brothers who solved the case last night, the purpose, naturally it is to ask Li Xian and the two brothers to come forward to report the case, so as to pile the responsibility on the little brothers, of course, there is a faint warning, others may not hear it, but Li Xian and the two brothers are very shrewd, naturally they all know it, but there are numbers, but there are numbers, but the little brothers obviously do not plan to do what the Empress Wu wants, Xie En was very grateful, but after thanking him, the little brothers stood silently, and they had no consciousness of saying anything at all.

"Xian'er, did you make any progress in the investigation last night?"

Seeing that the little brother was silent for a long time, a trace of essence flashed in the eyes of the Empress Wu, but he did not have the slightest anger, just smiled slightly, and asked Li Xian directly, Obviously, in the mind of the Empress Wu, compared to Li Xian, who is a small ghost, Li Xian obviously belongs to a soft persimmon that is easier to pinch.

"After returning to the mother, the child and so on under the auspices of Father-in-law Yan, there is indeed something to gain, this matter is most clear to Father-in-law Yan, if it is said by the son-in-law, I am afraid that there is something missing, I implore the father and the queen mother to consult Father-in-law Yan." Li Xian naturally understood the intention of Empress Wu to name herself, and a trace of gloom immediately rolled over Yingting's face, but at this moment, Li Xian had nowhere to send it when he was angry, so he could only secretly hate it in his heart, but after all, Li Xian was a smart person, and he would not fall for the hook of Empress Wu because he was angry, so he replied with a straight face.

"Oh? Does the same mean for Xian'er? ”

Empress Wu saw that Li Xian was shirking cleanly, and her heart couldn't help but feel a little cold, but in front of Gaozong, there were some things that she couldn't say too clearly, so she could only glance at Li Xian coldly, and she didn't rush to make a statement, but looked at Li Xian with a side face and asked lightly.

"After returning to the mother's words, last night's trial of the case was in accordance with the mother's order, with Yan Gonggong in charge of the matter, and the sons and daughters fully cooperated, and now they have a lot of gains, although the specific details are known, but I am afraid that there will be deviations, the sixth brother proposed that Yan Gonggong take care of the matter, and the sons and daughters thought so." It's okay that Empress Wu didn't ask, under this question, Li Xian immediately gave the eye medicine unceremoniously, and all the responsibility was pushed to Yan Desheng's head, in other words, it was all pushed to the Empress Wu, but he didn't want to make anything to do in this matter, just to make Gaozong have some doubts in his heart, as for whether it was successful or not, Li Xian didn't care much about it, anyway, the first goal of getting rid of the martial arts disciples had been achieved, as for the eye medicine, it was just a matter of beating rabbits with grass.

"Hmm." Empress Wu is not an ordinary person, her thoughtfulness is rare in the world, just listening, you have already noticed the small intentions hidden in the seemingly reasonable words of the Li Xian brothers, although the face has not changed much, but the eyes are sharp, but only whispered, and there is no side expression.

"Say, Yan Desheng, you made it clear to me, who dares to do such a rebellious thing, you say, you say, say!"

The three of them were fighting with each other, but Gaozong on the other side was impatient to hear the boss, not only distressed by the tragic death of the two ladies, but also annoyed that he almost died at the night banquet, and in anger, he suddenly turned over, lifted the quilt, jumped off the bed, and pointed at Yan Desheng, who was kneeling not far away, and roared angrily.

"Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty is angry, the old slave will say, this will say." Seeing Gaozong's furious majesty, Yan Desheng was frightened when he ascended, how could he still hold it, hurriedly kowtowed, tremblingly took out a stack of confessions from the wide sleeves, held it high above his head, and replied with a babbling voice: "Your Majesty, the old slave Qiqi, last night's incident was the mastermind of Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun's brothers, the reason was that His Majesty and the Empress were dissatisfied with their expulsion from Beijing and their release as officials, and they plotted to assassinate His Majesty and the Empress Niang, and the poison of the puffer fish was secretly in the bowl of tofu, but because Mrs. Wei Guo interrupted for a while, Only then did he mistakenly hit the deputy car, the old slave did not dare to lie and coax His Majesty, and the existing Erwu family and slave confessions are here, please look at Your Majesty. ”

"Humph!" Gaozong paced back and forth in front of the couch like an angry lion, listened to Yan Desheng's report with a gloomy face, snorted coldly, copied his hand, and took the stack of confessions concocted by Brother Li Xian into his hand, and flipped it rapidly, the more he looked at it, the more annoyed he became, and in the end, he smashed the stack of confessions into Yan Desheng's face, and roared and roared: "Bastard thing, I treat it so badly, I actually take revenge on it, how can I tolerate such a villain, come, put everyone on death row, I want him to die a good death!" , I ......"

Gaozong already has wind syndrome, last night and frightened, at this time the body is weak, since it can not withstand too much stimulation, such a big seizure, the long-term illness immediately recurred, the words have not been finished, has held his head and howled, the whole body is crooked and crumbling, so that everyone and others are shocked, fortunately, the Empress Wu's eyes are fast, not waiting for Gaozong to fall, the Empress Wu has reached out to support Gaozong's body.

"Quick, send the imperial doctor quickly!"

Seeing that Gaozong's illness was menacing, Empress Wu couldn't care about last night's case anymore, and anxiously stopped drinking, and in just a moment, the hall was in chaos......
