It is a pair of extremely beautiful earrings, with jade beads on the top and a palace fan dotted with lotus flowers, they blend with each other, warm and elegant, and people feel that they can't put it down at first glance.

Women always can't help but be tempted by beautiful things, and so is Chi Wan, she couldn't wait to put on the earrings, and then asked Xie Yutang, "How is it, is it good?" ”

Xie Yutang was naturally happy when he saw Chi Wan happy, he nodded with a smile and said, "What I Xie Yutang fancy is naturally suitable for you." ”

The two laughed and chatted again, and Xie Yutang went back to rest without disturbing Chi Wan.

Ji Wan took off the earrings she was carrying, and placed them back in the brocade box, she played with them stupidly, and unconsciously smiled at the corners of her lips. She carefully put away the earrings, as if she cherished them because they were given by him.

The next day, almost all the people of Pingcheng gathered at the gate of the city to see Xie Yutang leave, and the people did not know how to repay them for saving their lives, so they had to cheer for him over and over again, and give them gifts.

Chi Wan received a lot there, and she accepted it happily, she was moved by the simple folk customs here, which is rare. Of course, not only the two of them, but also the doctors, and even some officers and soldiers even received sachets from the women, which made them blush unconsciously.

The team returned to the capital all the way, which aroused the cheers of many people, and the good news that the plague in Pingcheng had been cured had already come back, and everyone naturally heard about it.

"The emperor is really sympathetic to the people, and he is willing to do whatever it takes to cure the plague in Pingcheng."

"The top thing is still General Xie, he is not afraid and is willing to take the doctors, he is really a hero in my heart."

"I heard that it seems that it was because of the antidote that a miracle doctor she concocted, that she was able to get the treatment of that serious illness, and I really want to meet the so-called miracle doctor."

People are praising Xie Yutang for everything you say, and Chi Wan chuckled and said, "Now you are a famous hero in the capital again." ”

Hearing Chi Wan's praise trump a thousand words from others, Xie Yutang's jaw was about to rise to the sky: "That's not it, I've always been." ”

When they arrived at the street where Fenghetang was located, Chi Wan turned around and said, "Okay, okay, you should also go to the palace to restore your life, then I'll go first." ”

Xie Yutang was very reluctant, but he had the emperor's order with him, so he had to reluctantly say: "Okay, you wait for me, and I'll come to you when I'm done." ”

After that, Xie Yutang took a few attendants and a few officers and soldiers into the palace with the prisoners.

The father-in-law who was in charge of receiving the wind had already waited at the gate of the palace in advance, and he told Xie Yutang: "The emperor has heard about the return of General Xie, and is now waiting for General Xie in the Taihe Palace. ”

"Yes," Xie Yutang instructed the prisoner behind him, "put these two ill-intentioned people in a dungeon for me, and let me go." ”

"Yes, General!" The attendants immediately complied, and Xie Yutang hurried to the Taihe Palace.

In the Taihe Palace, the emperor sat on the dragon chair, and the civil and military officials were whispering below, and the emperor instantly smiled after seeing Xie Yutang's arrival, and the officials made way for him to step forward.

Xie Yutang walked in front of the emperor and saluted him: "Weichen Xie Yutang knocked to see the emperor, Weichen did not dishonor the emperor's order and successfully treated the Pingcheng plague." ”

The emperor laughed and said: "Get up, the people of Pingcheng are no longer in trouble, not to mention that there are no soldiers, I am very satisfied in my heart." ”

An official took the opportunity to step forward and said: "Thanks to General Xie, now the people outside are also praising the emperor for his benevolence, compassion for the people, and a wise monarch." ”

Another official said: "The emperor is well aware of the righteousness and loves the people like a son, which is well known to everyone. ”

The ministers took advantage of the emperor's happiness to say all kinds of compliments, and it was obvious that the emperor still liked to listen to it, but I saw him sitting on the dragon chair at this time, and his eyebrows were dancing, and his satisfied expression made people know at a glance that he must be a dragon face at this time.

But enough beautiful words are enough, and it's time to get down to business, the emperor said to Xie Yutang: "Why did this plague happen, but what is the reason? ”

Xie Yutang hesitated, thinking that he didn't know whether to reveal the facts, but when he thought of the seriousness of this matter, he decided that it would be better to say it: "Your Majesty, it is necessary for Weichen to tell the emperor about Weichen's discovery." ”

"What's the matter, but it doesn't hurt you to say it."

"Regarding the serious illness in Heicheng, in fact, it was not a plague, but someone could have caused it!"

"What?" "What's going on?" Suddenly, the officials began to discuss, the crowd began to be chaotic, and even the emperor's expression became serious. Xie Yutang kept his posture still, and his heart was always uneasy.

Now that the turmoil in Pingcheng has finally calmed down, if what Xie Yutang said is the truth, I am afraid that there will be another big wave, looking at the appearance of the hundred officials, the emperor cleared his throat and said: "Okay, okay, this matter is over, and now Pingcheng is out of danger, as for the situation behind this matter, I will naturally investigate it clearly, you Aiqing will retreat first, Xie Yutang, you stay." ”

"Yes." The ministers saluted and left, what the emperor meant just now has been made very clear, he doesn't want the ministers to continue to discuss this matter, everyone naturally knows it, and will not talk about it again.

At this time, there were only two people in the Taihe Palace, the emperor and Xie Yutang, the emperor's face turned cold unconsciously, and he asked, "You say, what is going on?" ”

"Your Majesty, when Wechen went to Pingcheng, I thought it was just a simple virus, and then a miracle doctor told me that someone had poisoned the water source in the city, and Wechen went to ambush and arrest him, and he had already caught the person who poisoned him, but it was ......"

"Just what?" The emperor asked.

Xie Yutang struggled inwardly, he had been thinking about the word Tai that the poisoned person said before he died, in fact, the first thing he thought of was that person - that's right, it was the prince.

This series of recent events, from the very beginning, the crown prince took the initiative to invite merit, and in the meantime, he has been instigating the emperor to send him over, and looking at everything, he seems to have interfered too much, which makes people feel abnormal.

So Xie Yutang doubts, could it be that behind the scenes, these 2 are the princes? It's a bold guess, but it's not likely. However, this is always just a guess, and there is no evidence.

And the emperor in front of him, this person is the father of the crown prince, should he say this idea, and then let the emperor go to investigate? Xie Yutang looked at the emperor's solemn face, and the other party urged impatiently: "What's the matter, Xie Yutang, when did you start to babble like this, and you didn't dare to tell me?" ”

After thinking about it, Xie Yutang still didn't plan to say it after all, he replied: "Your Majesty, don't blame Weichen, that villain was accidentally executed by Weichen by Weichen, and he only left one Taizi before he died, and there were no more clues." ”

The emperor frowned, carefully recalled what Xie Yutang said, he looked at Xie Yutang's eyes and instantly became stern, and he continued to ask: "Then what do you think, about this Taizi?" ”

Xie Yutang broke out in a cold sweat on his spine, he shook his head and said, "Weichen has no clue. ”

The emperor looked at him a few more times, waved his hand and said, "Okay, I know everything, you go down first." ”

"Yes." Xie Yutang bowed and retreated, and the emperor then stood up and said to the eunuch who had been waiting by his side, "Go, go back to the Palace of Cultivating the Heart." ”

"Yes." The eunuch was walking behind the emperor, and suddenly the emperor spoke: "Do you know, what did General Xie and I say just now? ”

"This ......," the eunuch paused, and said with a smile, "The slave has been waiting outside the door just now, so naturally he doesn't know." ”

"He told me that Pingcheng's illness was due to a deliberate cause," said the Emperor, "and I knew from the look of him that he was not suspicious of the Prince." ”

The eunuch was shocked and said in a tone of disbelief: "Then General Xie shouldn't say this, right?" ”

"Not really, but if he says it, I won't let him go." The emperor said, "And whether this matter is done by the crown prince in the end or not, he will die." ”

The eunuch also knew in his heart that if Xie Yutang said it, and it was done by the prince, then the emperor would definitely only keep it secret. disposing of the crown prince will not be publicized to the public, and at this time, Xie Yutang will be executed for knowing too many royal secrets; If it hadn't been done by the prince, then Xie Yutang would have been executed for slandering the prince.

Now, Xie Yutang didn't say it even though he was suspicious in his heart, in the emperor's opinion, he is a person who knows what to say and what not to say, and this is also the person the emperor needs - a person who can control his mouth.

In the Tai Palace, when he knew that Xie Yutang had not only not died but also made great contributions after returning from Pingcheng, he was still more or less angry in his heart, but fortunately, his biggest plan was not variable, and it was being carried out in an orderly manner.

The crown prince summoned his henchmen and asked him, "How is Mu Zhufeng doing lately?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, under your arrangement, General Mu has also made a lot of contributions, and his return to the position of general has been confirmed, and he doesn't dare to gossip behind his back."

The prince smiled with satisfaction and said, "Very good, very good, this is about the same." ”

Thinking back, as soon as Mu Zhufeng came out of the dungeon, the prince was in a hurry to put him in the position of general, and at that time, many officials, people in the palace, and even his own henchmen advised him to think twice.

"After all, General Mu has just come out of prison, if he wants to rebuild his reputation and regain the trust of the emperor and other generals, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must not be in a hurry."

Thinking that what his henchman said made sense, the prince smiled evilly: "Then let's hurry up and let Mu Zhufeng make meritorious service in front of the emperor, isn't it?" ”
