Chapter Ninety-Six: The Prime Minister's Mansion Overturned

"Yes!" The Praetorian Guards left in a hurry, Mu Feng took everyone out of the secret room, facing a room of gold bricks, no matter how innocent the people were, they were afraid that they would not be able to remain indifferent, so it was better to take them out, so a group of people left the secret room and returned to the ground.

Mu Feng asked the remaining Praetorian Guards to surround this secret room with three layers inside and three layers outside, waiting for orders from the palace.

The guard who delivered the letter quickly whipped up, and soon returned to the palace, Dongfang Yi listened to the return of the guard kneeling on the ground, there was no expression on his face, and after a long time, he snorted coldly, stood up from the chair, and walked out, and Gonggong De immediately followed behind and entered the main hall with a few account books in his hand.

The emperor walked in with a dark face, and everyone stopped, and the hall was instantly quiet.

He walked towards his throne, but stopped in front of Liu Yingyuan's seat and stared at him for a long time, seeing that Liu Yingyuan's face began to sweat.

In the end, Dongfang Yi picked up an account book and threw it in front of Liu Yingyuan, and asked sharply: "Liu Aiqing, explain to me what this is?!" After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and sat down again.

Liu Yingyuan looked down at the account book on the table, and was shocked, it's over! After all, he was a cunning old fox, and his face did not show it at all, he stood up and knelt in front of the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister really doesn't know what this is."

Dongfang Yi snorted, "You still dare to quibble? There is your private seal in this account book, and you still want to fail to repay the account? ”

Liu Yingyuan's heart fluttered, but he still refused to admit it, "Your Majesty, this must be someone framing Weichen, Weichen has never seen this account book." ”

Hearing him say this, Dongfang Yi suddenly smiled, "Liu Aiqing, don't you look at what is recorded in this booklet?" So anxious to deny? After speaking, without waiting for Liu Yingyuan to react, he suddenly picked up all the remaining account books in the hands of Gonggong De, slammed them on Liu Yingyuan's face, and reprimanded angrily: "The evidence is conclusive, you still dare to deny it, if you haven't seen this account book, how do you explain the gold bricks in a room in Yuqing Mountain outside the city?" ”

When everyone in the main hall heard this, they all gasped, a gold brick in a secret room, where did this prime minister get so much gold?

Empress Liu couldn't sit still anymore at this time, she stood up, walked down and knelt down, and said, "Your Majesty, my brother is not such a person, please be aware of it, don't be deceived by villains." ”

The emperor glanced at the queen coldly and said, "I see that the villain is your Liu family!" Come on, put all the Prime Minister's Mansion into the prison, transfer the case to Dali Temple, and wait for the truth to be found out before deciding! ”

When Empress Liu heard this, her face turned pale, and she immediately cried and begged: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty's mercy!" ”

Dongfang Yi glanced at her, her eyes were cold, and she slowly spoke, "The queen is unvirtuous, she is grounded for a month, and she is not allowed to step out of the palace gate for half a step without my order!" ”

Liu Fengluan sat paralyzed on the ground, Liu Yingyuan was already stunned, and there was only one thought in his mind, it's over, the Liu family is over, it's all over.

The Praetorian Guards came in and pulled everyone out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Prime Minister's Mansion fell, and the news spread all over the streets and alleys overnight.

All this came too suddenly, which caught Liu Yingyuan off guard, until he was imprisoned in the prison, he hadn't figured out what went wrong, why was it suddenly exposed?

But he knew in his heart that this time, their Liu family was really finished, once the emperor raided the house, he would definitely be able to find the secret room in his house, which also hid a lot of gold, and now that the evidence is conclusive, he can't get out of it, I just hope that his sister can help them plead more and sentence them lightly.

At this time, Liu Fengluan, who was confined to Kunning Palace, sat in front of the window in a daze, she really couldn't understand, how could it suddenly develop into such a situation? She had just met with Murong Xiuqi last night, and at that time she never thought that the Liu family would fall one day, but one day, everything changed.

She raised her head and looked out the window, her heart was desolate, I was afraid that her lord would not have a chance to take the throne in this life, she had never understood why the emperor had not established the crown prince for a long time, even if the prince was now eighteen years old and crowned, he still did not express his position, maybe in his heart, he never thought about making the prince the prince, right?

Thinking of this, her eyes gradually turned cold, and she suddenly remembered Murong Xiuqi's words last night, he said that he was willing to help Jue'er ascend the throne, he must have a way!

Liu Fengluan sat up from the collapse abruptly, and then walked back and forth in the room a little impatiently, and finally she made up her mind to join forces with Murong Xiuqi, except for Dongfang Yi, after making this decision, she couldn't help but walk to the window, and secretly said in her heart: Dongfang Yi, if you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!

At this time, Meng Xiaoran had already lived in Chen Jingfeng's medicine house, when the news of the fall of the Prime Minister's Mansion came, she felt a moment of loss in her heart for some reason, for so long, everything she did was for this day, but when this day really came, she had some indescribable feelings, as if she suddenly had no goal.

And Nishang was very happy when she heard the news, Xiangfu was an enemy to her, and now that she had revenge, she was naturally happy, on this day she deliberately went to a market town a few miles away to buy a lot of vegetables, Meng Xiaoran couldn't stand Chen Jingfeng's request, and also cooked several specialty dishes.

Who knew that as soon as they brought the dishes to the table, Shen Qian actually brought Qingfeng uninvited, Chen Jingfeng couldn't help laughing, "Brother Shen, you are really blessed, today my sister personally cooked the dishes, you came, did you smell the fragrance and came here?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Ni Sheng on the side couldn't help laughing, Meng Xiaoran couldn't help laughing, and finally the four of them sat down to eat, and Ni Sheng didn't go together to take care of Aunt Hu for dinner.

This time, the Prime Minister's Mansion fell, which was also a happy thing for them, so Chen Jingfeng went to open a jar of wine again, but Meng Xiaoran was unwilling to drink it anyway, Shen Qian naturally knew why she was like this, and quietly hooked her lips and smiled, and there was still a smile in her eyes when she looked at Meng Xiaoran.

As soon as Meng Xiaoran looked up, she saw his gaze, and couldn't help blushing, she remembered what happened after the last "drunk" again, she hurriedly looked at Chen Jingfeng and said, "Big brother, eat quickly, the food won't taste good if it's cold."

"Yes, yes, let's eat quickly, my sister made it herself, I want to eat more." As he spoke, he looked at Shen Qian and raised an eyebrow at him.

Because it was daytime, Chen Jingfeng and Shen Qian didn't drink much, and they stopped drinking until they were slightly drunk, and after the meal, Meng Xiaoran and Nishang cleaned up the dishes together, and Shen Qian suddenly said to her: "I have something to tell you."

Meng Xiaoran was stunned, and when Nishang saw this, she immediately pushed her gently, "Girl, Shen Gongzi wants to talk to you, just leave it to me here." ”

Meng Xiaoran nodded, put down the bowl in his hand, and walked out of the medicine village with Shen Qian, walking slowly along the path paved with bluestone slabs.

"What are your plans for the future?" Shen Qian was the first to speak.

Meng Xiaoran smiled bitterly when he heard this, "What can you do?" I want to go to Liu Ruxue and avenge Xiaocui, but I don't have a clue how to find her. ”

Shen Qian didn't say anything when he heard this, pondered for a while and said, "Would you like to make another deal with me?"

"What deal?" Meng Xiaoran frowned slightly, looked at Shen Qian and asked.

Shen Qian looked at her and smiled, then turned his head to look into the distance, "I'll accompany you to find Liu Ruxue, help you kill her, and you will do one more thing for me." ”

If there is Shen Qian's help, it will be much easier to find Liu Ruxue, Liu Ruxue is Lu Ziqing's cousin, no matter what, she can't ask Lu Ziqing for help, and now the deal proposed by Shen Qian is really very attractive to her.

But Shen Qian let himself do things for him, what kind of things should he do?

Meng Xiaoran thought for a long time, and finally looked at him and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Shen Qian hooked his lips and smiled, "It's still the same as last time, do the internal response for me." ”

"What? Do internal response again? Meng Xiaoran was a little surprised, and a little reluctant, she frowned and thought for a while, and asked, "Where are you going to do the internal response?"

"Wind Flower Snow Moon Tower."

"Wind Flower Snow Moon Building? It's a familiar name, and I seem to have heard it. Meng Xiaoran couldn't remember when he had heard it for a while, and after thinking about it carefully, it was still fruitless, and finally shook his head.

Shen Qian smiled, "At the beginning, Liu Chengming, the son of the Chen family, broke his leg in the Fenghua Xueyue Mansion in order to compete for the opportunity to meet Oiran Zidai. ”

Meng Xiaoran thought about it at this time, and then looked at him with some incredulity, "You let me go to the Qinglou to do internal response?" ”

It was the first time Shen Qian had seen her react so strongly, and even her shocked look looked very cute in his eyes, "Don't worry, this time I will take care to cover your face, you just need to stay by Zidai's side to collect news." ”

Although he said this, Meng Xiaoran still felt a little nervous in her heart, a place like Qinglou is always dangerous, but the temptation to find Liu Ruxue to avenge Xiaocui is too great, she looked at Zhuangzi not far away, there was also a stupid Aunt Hu there, she took a deep breath, looked at Shen Qian and said, "Okay, I promise you, but you also have to remember your promise and protect me."

Shen Qian smiled, "This is nature. "How can I be willing to let you get hurt again?

Meng Xiaoran agreed to Shen Qian's deal, and the two discussed that once Shen Qian found out Liu Ruxue's whereabouts, he would immediately go on the road, and after finding her, he would take revenge, and Meng Xiaoran would come back to do things for him.

Chen Jingfeng couldn't help frowning when he heard the news, he looked at Shen Qian, seeing that he looked light, he couldn't see his thoughts, and couldn't help muttering in his heart: This kid, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?

After that, Chen Jingfeng called Shen Qian out, and the two walked to the medicine field next to Zhuangzi, Chen Jingfeng looked at him and asked, "What do you want to do?" Let Xiaoran go to the Qinglou? If you are interested in her, you should protect her, why do you always put her in danger? ”

Shen Qian sighed, "Actually, I already have an internal response in the Fenghua Xueyue Building, and this is just to have more contact with her." After speaking, he looked at Chen Jingfeng helplessly, "If it weren't for her recognition of you as the eldest brother now, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy to see her again, if I let that Lu Ziqing take her away, I won't have a chance, do you understand?" ”
