Chapter 230: Only by taking human life to pay the debt
Seeing General Na Xie out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Long Jiang Ye picked up the cold general order and played with it carefully in his hand.
"Your Majesty, I think General Xie's tiger talisman is too fast, there will be no fraud, right?"
Long Jiangye didn't speak, only straightened out the dragon robe on his body, and slowly walked down the steps.
Outside, the sun was shining, and the dragon stood on the high stairs with his hands in his hands, his shadow condensed into a dense black mass on the ground.
There are still thousands of ups and downs in his eyes, turning his hands into clouds and rain, his country and throne, how can he let the brainless dragon take away the cold.
When Mu Jiu came over, he saw that there seemed to be a lot of sorrow between his eyebrows.
"I heard that General Xie went to Kunning Palace to see the queen?"
Mu Jiu stood beside him and followed his gaze to the clear sky on the horizon.
"Hmm."
As he spoke, the general's order slipped out of Long Jiangye's sleeve.
"Hands."
Mu Jiu obediently stretched out his little hand, and Long Jiangye handed over the Xuantie General Order that was shining under the sun to her palm.
"Put it away."
This dark iron is not heavy, but Mu Jiu feels as if there are thousands of catties in his heart.
With such trust in him, he must not fail her.
"The general handed over the Tiger Talisman so quickly, you can rest assured, right?"
In the past few days, Mu Jiu could clearly feel that with that General Xie returning to Beijing, he was becoming more and more worried.
I thought he was worried that General Xie would not hand over the tiger talisman.
After all, every general who holds military power is feared by the emperor.
Hearing her words, Long Jiangye shook his head slightly, and analyzed carefully: "It is precisely because he is too happy that I feel that there is fraud in this." ”
"Fraud? Could it be that this is a fake? ”
Mu Jiu raised the token in his hand and looked at it carefully in the sunlight.
"It's true."
"Then what are you worried about?"
Long Jiangye couldn't say anything, but he felt as if things were faintly out of his control.
But I can't find anything weird, and this is what makes the dragon general feel uneasy at night.
Seeing that he didn't speak again, Mu Jiuyi grabbed his arm: "Let's go, it's almost noon." Let's go back to dinner first, and then think about this when you're full, right? ”
"Hmm."
Long Jiangye's lunch was not fragrant, and he didn't even finish a small bowl of food.
Seeing him like this, Mu Jiu also put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand.
"Actually, you're not sure, are you?"
Following his footsteps, Mu Jiu followed him to the inner room, and seeing him rubbing his temples in annoyance, Mu Jiu said this.
There was some surprise in his eyes, and he had tried not to talk to her about these things.
What I'm afraid of is that she's worried.
"Hmm."
However, he admitted that it was Lisuo, and in front of her, he felt that he did not need to hide it.
"Recently, I learned from Moshu that you have ironclad evidence of the Xie family's eldest son's crime. In fact, these things are taken apart one by one, and you don't need to worry so much, Your Majesty. ”
"Huh? How do you say that? ”
Mu Jiu was cooking tea, and through the steaming mist, he couldn't see her face clearly.
There was a faint smile on the corner of Mu Jiu's lips, and he said slowly: "Your Majesty, all conspiracies and tricks, before the absolute iron-fisted force, are all cannon fodder." ”
Oh, yes.
The doubts hidden in the eyes of the dragon swept away after hearing these words.
Even if the whole world was going to turn against him, so what?
It's just that the woman he put on the tip of his heart has become his weakness after all.
No matter what the dragon general does now, the first thing to consider is the safety of this woman.
At the beginning, in the backyard of the Baohua Palace, he intended to let her stay away from this place first, and then he went to pick her up when the matter calmed down.
But Mu Jiu was unwilling to leave him.
Even if it was a step, she was reluctant to leave him.
"No wonder you're still in the mood to make tea."
"How not? If the dragon will be able to do it, unless the sun hits the west and comes out. ”
At this moment, Long Jiangye and Mu Jiu are too underestimated.
Inside the Kunning Palace....
Xie Huanting was sitting on the dresser over there in a daze, her mind was chaotic, her hair was scattered and she looked embarrassed, looking like a lifeless rag doll.
Ye Qing ran in with small steps, and there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
Before he ran in, he said a little anxiously: "Queen Mother, Queen Mother, the general is here." ”
Xie Huanting's eyes were dim, and her eyes also rolled when she heard this.
"What did you say?"
"Niangniang, the general returned to the capital early in the morning, and now he has arrived at the door of our Kunning Palace."
Xie Huanting stood up from the chair with a thud and hurriedly ran outside.
At this moment, General Xie had just arrived in the courtyard.
Seeing her father, Xie Huanting's eyes immediately turned red, and tears had fallen between the salutes.
"I've seen my father."
General Xie immediately stepped forward to help the person up, and when he saw that his daughter was now emaciated and inhuman, he immediately sighed.
When General Xie set off before, at Xie Zhicheng's strong request, he brought the Ye Divine Doctor into the palace together.
In fact, General Xie was reluctant to bring this Ye Tianyi into the palace at that time.
But when he knew that his daughter's eye disease had cured, he couldn't get excited.
At that time, Ye Tianyi's sentence about the fear of recurrence reached General Xie's heart.
And he didn't believe in those quacks in the palace, it was good to bring this Ye Shen Doctor into the palace to take a look.
So he brought people in.
Divine Doctor Ye was wearing armor at the moment, pretending to be a deputy general of General Xie and followed Xie Zhangyuan into the main hall of this Kunning Palace.
"Ye Qing, go down and prepare lunch."
Ye Qing immediately went down when he heard this order, and properly closed the door.
The meaning of this is obvious, that is, don't let ignorant subordinates disturb General Xie and the queen mother.
Rao is General Xie has been galloping on the battlefield for more than ten years, and he is proud and strong, and when he sees his daughter's emaciated appearance at this moment, he can't help but become a loving father, and his eyes are full of worry.
"Ting'er, why haven't you seen you for half a year, how did you lose weight like this?"
"Hey, my grandfather passed away, and my daughter was sad, so don't worry about my father."
mentioned the death of Lao Guogong Xie, Ye Tianyi, who had been pretending to be a deputy general, sighed: "Hey, I didn't expect that I have known that Lao Guogong for more than 20 years, and now that he has gone, there is really one less confidant in this world." ”
This Ye Tianyi suddenly spoke, which attracted Xie Huanting's attention.
But Xie Huanting knew her father's lieutenant, not the person in front of her.
"Who is this?"
"The grass name is Ye Tianyi, I have heard the name of the queen for a long time, and now I can pay tribute to Fengyan, which is a blessing for old age."
As he spoke, he saluted and introduced himself briefly.
Ye Tianyi?
This name is very familiar, Xie Huanting lowered her head and thought for a while, and then said in surprise: "Aren't you your grandfather's friend, Doctor Ye Shen, who is known as the Holy Hand of the Ghost Doctor?" ”
I think that Xie Huanting also put her hope of regaining her sight from eye disease on this person.
Why did you enter the palace at this time?
"It's the old decay, when the queen's mother had an eye attack, the old decay was still far away in his city, and it was a pity that he didn't have time to diagnose and treat you. But now the queen mother, your eye disease has been cured, it is really a great blessing for the country. ”
When Xie Huanting heard this, she had a relieved smile on her face.
"This all depends on the superb medical skills of the concubine Niangniang, and I have hope of regaining my sight with this eye disease."
When it comes to Concubine Li, General Xie remembered the concubine Niangniang of the first emperor back then.
At this moment, he looked around and found that the doors and windows were closed, so he asked him in a low voice.
"Cheng'er actually told her father something very important today, and my father wants to ask Ting'er what you mean."
Xie Huanting frowned slightly, what could her father discuss with her?
"Father, please speak."
General Xie made a gesture in his eyes, and Ye Tianyi sensibly took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and put it in front of Xie Huanting.
"What is this?"
"Niangniang, you have to be careful, this is a poisoned silkworm."
Hearing that it was poison, Xie Huanting's hand that was about to touch the porcelain bottle suddenly retracted, and she subconsciously moved away a little.
"What are you doing with this?"
"This is the poison that Old Duke Xie asked me to take back then, who used these poisons in the end, dare to ask the queen mother, do you know these things?"
Xie Huanting's heart was turbulent, and she hurriedly asked him, "Really?" Could it be true that my grandfather connected with the Queen Mother to assassinate Concubine Li? ”
Ye Tianyi took advantage of the victory to pursue: "What even General Xie doesn't know, dare to ask the queen mother how do you know?" ”
When Xie Huanting heard this question, she immediately knew that she had slipped out.
But in the face of her father, she doesn't plan to hide it.
"At the beginning, the emperor was him. He told me personally, "
Above Xie Zhangyuan's head, thunder was rolling.
There was so much going on today that he hadn't digested it for a while.
First, he didn't expect that his old father was really involved in poisoning Concubine Li's mother.
Second, he didn't expect that the emperor really knew about these things for a long time.
What Cheng'er said about what the emperor killed his old father behind his back is also true?
He grabbed Xie Huanting's wrist and asked again: "Did the emperor really tell you this in person?" ”
His hand is the hand that holds the sword all the year round, and the strength is very strong.
The pinched Xie Huanting was extremely painful, but seeing that he was so serious, Xie Huanting had to nod: "Daddy, our Xie family is sorry for the emperor, he said a word at the time." ”
"What words? What did the emperor say again? ”
"He said let you give him back his concubine, so that he would forgive me."
People are dead.
How can this be returned?
What to take?
Naturally, the only way to pay off debts is to take human lives.
So even if Xie Huanting guessed that her grandfather might be the emperor's hand, she didn't resent it.
Later, he couldn't stand Long Jianghan's deception and betrayed the emperor.
Speaking of which, Xie Huanting suddenly felt that the emperor was still very tolerant of the Xie family and herself.
Hearing this, Xie Zhangyuan tightened his brows, not knowing what to do.
Or that he is making a difficult choice between being against and not being against it.
If it is really according to Xie Zhicheng's opinion, the Xie family has become a thorn in the emperor's side, then it is only a matter of time before the emperor wants to get rid of the Xie family.
But now the emperor has suppressed all the guilt and forbears it.
Could it be a larger conspiracy?
