Chapter Thirty-Seven: No Secrets

Weiyang panicked and listened to his heart. Inside the main hall, the atmosphere was so gloomy that the ministers present felt as if a mountain was pressing on the backs of each of them.

The king of a country, the emperor of the Xuan Kingdom, sat on the carved dragon throne with a gloomy face, and on the left hand side was the Duke Dan who was standing on the side. And the next one is Xuanyuan who stands in front of the ministers and Liu Shi, who is not humble or arrogant, and who is calm and calm. Wang Xiaoliang was also on the side, but he lowered his head, and he was still holding a burden wrapped in physical evidence in his hand, and his body trembled, very timid.

Previously, Xie Jin wanted to come to testify with Liu Shi, but was locked directly by Liu Shi in the firewood room on his house.

Although, he joked to Xie Jin at the time that locking him up was so that he could make a good lantern and come out, and he went to buy the jade cicada fruit for him when he enjoyed the fast. However, he knew that whether he would die or not was unknown.

He couldn't let his best friend be implicated in this for no reason.

"Jue'er, you just told me that you should release the two masters and servants of Gongyi, which means that the two of them are innocent, but there is evidence?"

The emperor glanced at Liu Shi and Wang Xiaoliang who were kneeling, and the displeasure in his heart was to the extreme.

I already spared your life five years ago, the same thing, why does this teenager still have the courage to obstruct it today?

"Father, these two people, one is the companion of King Kang's brother, and the other is the doctor of King Kang's mansion, and the two of them said that Brother Kang's poisoning was for another reason, not that someone was poisoned."

Calmly answered, Xuanyuan bowed to the emperor, as if he had an answer in his chest, today there can be enough reasons to let the innocent scarlet master and servant of the heavenly prison get out of trouble.

"Oh? It's not poisoning, but when those imperial doctors came back from King Kang's mansion, they said that they were poisoned, and they didn't have the skills to return to heaven......"

With the interrogation of the hidden majesty of the emperor, the darkness on Meishan gradually disappeared, like a cloud of sorrow, and the emperor was about to be angry.

"Back to my father, this doctor said that King Kang's younger brother was temporarily closed and covered his pulse, and now there is no major problem, but he is still asleep, and he is not yet at the point where it is difficult to save the Daluo Immortals."

Without waiting for the emperor to finish asking, Xuanyuan snatched the white, and the emperor couldn't help but be shocked when he heard the news. Unexpectedly, this Xuanyuan Qi is really hard-hitting, someone drank the poisonous wine five years ago, and today's poisonous porridge actually failed to kill him.

The calculation failed, and his heart was furious, but the ministers were here, and the emperor could only restrain himself and forcibly suppress it. After all, I am famous for loving this fatherless and motherless nephew......

"Oh?! This is true, since you have healed, don't tell me in detail! ”

Pretending to be really happy, but he still couldn't help venting his anger in his heart, the emperor knocked over the tea presented on the side, and the hot one was poured on the hand of Gonggong Dan, he didn't care, and his left hand pointed at Wang Xiaoliang, who was trembling like a sieve.

In this way, the hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone was waiting for Wang Xiaoliang's answer, but he kept his head down and couldn't see the emperor's movements. Although the emperor's words were also clear, he was still afraid, he was afraid of death.

After seeing no response for a long time, Liu Shi, who was kneeling beside him, immediately turned around, opened the burden he was holding in his hand, and laid out the physical evidence one by one. At the same time, he pulled the corner of Wang Xiaoliang's clothes with one hand and lowered his voice.

"Do you think that if you don't say anything, the emperor will let you go? As a healer, do you want to die a good death because of the sin of bullying the king, or do you want to die a good death to save people? ”

The sentence "let go", the sentence "healer", instantly touched a string in Wang Xiao's conscience, and the same first half of the sentence was also heard many years ago.

Raising his head, Wang Xiaoliang picked up a piece of pastry from his baggage, picked up another crockpot, and looked directly at his fear.

"Back to the emperor, this is a pastry made by Mrs. Yan, which we found from Lingfeng Temple, it is indeed non-toxic, this bowl is the Buddha porridge of Lingfeng Temple, and it is naturally not poisonous."

Wang Xiaoliang said, threw the pastry into his mouth with one hand, raised the crockpot with the other, and drank the cold porridge in the jar.

was amused by Wang Xiaoliang's actions, but the emperor did not change his expression, and said bluntly, "Don't talk nonsense here!" I have also used the Buddha porridge in Lingfeng Temple, if it is poisonous, I will not sit here unharmed! ”

The momentum was pressing, Long Yan was furious, Wang Xiaoliang's face did not change, and he wiped his mouth with his sleeve. "Back to the emperor, this pastry is filled with milk, and a little almonds, I asked the housekeeper Liu Chu and the two fathers and sons of the two fathers and sons, this milk and almonds, His Royal Highness King Kang is absolutely uneatable, once eaten by mistake, it will cause a rash on the face, abdominal discomfort, and fainting and breathlessness."

After speaking, Wang Xiaoliang kowtowed heavily on the ground.

That's it, since telling the truth is death, and not saying it is death, it is better to follow what Liu Shi said, casually telling such a few half-truths and half-truths, which can save people's lives.

Doubts locked the eyebrows again, the emperor's face became unusual, and his breathing gradually became rapid with the fluctuation of emotions, as if there were thousands of hands in his throat at the same time.

"Huhu...... Let the people go, but you have two, you have to stay in the palace for the time being! ”

I don't know why, I don't know why the emperor let go so easily, and I don't know why the emperor was suddenly so excited, Wang Xiaoliang and Liu Shi raised their heads after thanking him, and glanced at Liu Shi carefully and carefully with the corner of his eye.

Such a confident appearance is really calculating.

On the other side, in King Kang's mansion, Xuanyuan Qi was still sleeping sweetly on the couch, not knowing that she had already entered some uninvited guests inside and outside the Fengju Pavilion.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! With the well-trained, fast and powerful blows, it hit the necks of several nursing homes at the main gate, and several of them fell to the ground one after another, and the uninvited guests approached the inner room.

This unkind movement was naturally noticed by Liu Chu, who was guarding Xuanyuan Qi's side, but at the moment he had no way, if these people really broke in, he would definitely not be able to protect Xuanyuan Qi.

The sky darkened, and the sunset in the west was red, and it was a rare beautiful scene. Different from a pleasant dusk scene, the atmosphere in the Fengju Pavilion was extremely gloomy, and the uninvited guests suddenly did not take another step, but just surrounded the Fengju Pavilion.

Inside the house, Liu Chu grabbed the handle of a long knife with two hands, looked left and right with both eyes, and looked at the door and Xuanyuan Qi very vigilantly.

Suddenly, there was movement from the uninvited guests outside. The strange sound of the flute, like the whine of a night owl, snawled into the ears of the people in the house.

"Sir, pay attention to the top of your head and your feet, they did it!"

Lazy and unchanging, for a long time, Yu Qinglin slowly opened his eyes full of breeze and bright moon, and then, suddenly turned over, kicked an oil lamp on the case in front of him to Liu Chu's feet that Liu Chu did not see, Liu Chu hurriedly dodged, and then it seemed that it was a poisonous snake spitting a letter that was hit by the oil lamp exactly seven inches, on the ground, rolled a few times, and then did not move.

However, this poisonous snake will not be just one. Just as Liu Chuyi picked up Xuanyuan Qi from the couch, a few colorful things fell from the silk mantle tent, and at a dangerous moment, their poisonous fangs were about to pierce Xuanyuan Qi's flesh and skin.

"Oops...... This kind of thing isn't fun! Yu Qinglin tore off the purse around his waist and turned it into a whisk of dust again, and he didn't know where he found the hat he had worn when he came and put it back on.

Thousands of wisps of femininity, like feathered arrows galloping, when they touched the poisonous snakes that attacked under the lure of the flute, they were like sharp steel needles, piercing them one by one.

At the same time, in the inner hall of the palace, Gonggong Dan replaced the bird-shaped incense burner on the case in front of the emperor with new incense.

As the smoke moved and dissipated in the air like a flying heaven in the Western Regions, the emperor's fingers did not know how long he rubbed on the pattern of the cup in his hand, and his eyes were not angry but mighty, and they were directed towards the pale young man kneeling at the foot of the stairs.

Specially dismissed irrelevant people, and the emperor could finally express the doubts in his heart.

"Liu Shi, tell me everything you know!"

The left hand suddenly increased its strength, and a few fingers clenched the cup, almost crushing it to pieces.

And Liu Shi's face did not show any panic, but raised his hand, deliberately slowed down his body, and made a bow to the emperor.

"Before I say it, I also ask the emperor to spare me and the palace doctor Wang Xiaoliang from death."

"Hmph, then we'll see if you're telling the truth?" The Emperor, who had been hung up on his appetite, waved his hand angrily, he longed for a perfect answer.

Liu Shi smiled and got up slowly, this specially slowed down movement made the emperor more and more impatient. But Liu Shi's next sentence made the emperor have to endure his anger again.

"Your Majesty, do you remember the personal maid of the former Princess Kang?"

Liu Shi stood with his hands together and made a shallow gesture towards the air, as if he was comforting a spirit.

Meaningfully, the emperor's eyes moved away from Liu Shi's body, staring aimlessly at the curling sandalwood smoke in the incense burner. "Princess Kang's personal maid? So much, how do I know? ”

"It's Xiaomin who can't tell clearly, it's the personal maid brought by the princess from her homeland, the emperor has seen it, isn't it?" Liu Shi coughed, and stroked his chest with his right hand, since the emperor was so eager to finish, why didn't he drag it out.

When the emperor heard Liu Shi say this, he naturally remembered in his heart, when he was still the crown prince, although he was leading the troops, he also came back to Yecheng once.

"When you came to King Kang's mansion, she was fortunate to be blessed with rain and dew, and then gave birth to the princess on the same day, she gave birth to a baby boy, but the princess gave birth to a stillborn child, and the first prince of the blood collapsed so that the princess was at ease and Xianyou, and the maid was also later infected with a vicious disease and died of illness."

Liu Shi told the story, and his meaning was self-evident, saying that Xuanyuan Qi was not from King Kang, but the emperor's own blood.

Unexpectedly, when the emperor heard this, he was furious and smashed the cup in his hand in front of Liu Shi. He was fortunate to be the maid back then, how did he know about such an ugly thing?

"Ridiculous! How did you know this as a six-year-old child? ”

Dusting off the tea droplets that accidentally burst on the hair of the big wind, Liu Shi smiled, as if he knew that the emperor must have asked this question, "The emperor is angry, I think you also know that the nurse of my little prince disappeared a few months ago, and she told me about this before she disappeared." In addition, she also told me that the little prince could not eat almonds. Therefore, it is really my fault that the little prince is sick today, and I ask the emperor to think twice and spare me and Wang Xiaoliang for negligence. ”

The words paused, and the long sentences floated out with Liu Shi's head again, which made the emperor completely unable to get angry.

"Liu Shi, you said that the nurse is missing, so there is no witness, do you think I will believe your one-sided words?"

The two parties looked at each other again, one was suspicious of the emperor, and the other was in the hurry of the minister.

"What Liu Shi said is to tell the truth, if you want to kill or chop, everything is at the disposal of the emperor."

Calm and composed, neither humble nor arrogant. Now, even the emperor couldn't help but admire Liu Shi's courage in his heart. After a while, the emperor confessed a few words in the ear of Gonggong Dan, and then waved his hand, which actually asked Liu Shi and Wang Xiaoliang to return to the house.

Under the guidance of Father-in-law Dan, as soon as Liu Shi went out, he saw Wang Xiaoliang who was still kneeling outside and shivering. He hurriedly took a step forward and helped him to his feet.

"Please come back, both of you." Haosheng sent the two of them into the carriage back home, and Grandpa Dan immediately took out a bamboo tube from his sleeve with a thin hemp rope on it.

The fingers immediately pulled the hemp rope, and in an instant, a beam of sparks rushed straight into the sky, spreading out in the air, and phosphorus phosphorus was rising.

At the same time, on the side of Fengju Pavilion, Yu Qinglin could not reveal his identity due to the limitations of the terrain, so even if the small inner room was closely attacked by the snakes, he could only stay by Xuanyuan Qi and Liu Chu's side.

It was also when he was dealing with the onslaught of poisonous snakes with all his strength that he suddenly heard the sound of the flute outside the house suddenly change its tone, mournful and heavy, as if playing a mournful song. With this mournful tune, the serpents also went against the norm, stopped their attack, turned their heads, and dispersed straight out of the house, leaving only the unbearable bodies of their accomplices.

"Ha, you can rest assured now, their master must be tired of listening to this tune. Oh, sir, the palace has a regular visitor, and I'll take care of it. ”

Yu Qinglin put away the dust, inserted it in the waist behind the robe, and said to Liu Chu, he also took Xuanyuan Qi with one hand.

"Regulars? What regulars? Liu Chu was shocked, Yu Qinglin's words, he heard it very confused, but before he could answer, he himself had been directly pushed out of the door by Yu Qinglin.

Yu Qinglin was relieved that he was relieved, this uninvited "stranger" that day, swaggering to live in the palace, why he was promised the little prince that day, he can't remember, now it seems that he has no malice at all, I thought that he was sent by the emperor to the secret pile......

Thinking all the way, bowing his head all the way, until he arrived at the gate, Liu Chu saw that the "frequent visitor" was actually Mrs. Gongyi and Yan, who were dyed in blood.

"Quick, help someone into the house!" Without waiting to think about it, Liu Chulian pulled Wang Xiaoliang and Liu Shi, who had just arrived at the palace, and a few entourages together to bring the two injured into the house.

During the Shangyuan Festival, the entire Kangwang Mansion was tossed up and down for a day and a night, and there was no peace.

"It's all done?"

Due to the changes that happened in the morning, the Shangyuan Night Banquet that should have been held in the evening also changed temporarily, and at this moment, the emperor was alone in the dormitory looking at the folds, in order to wait for the return of the Dan father-in-law.

Here, Gonggong Dan also trotted to the dormitory in a hurry, panting, and even the horizontal flesh on his face was shaking.

"Yes, everything is done, the old slave has not congratulated Your Majesty yet......"

Unexpectedly, the emperor snorted coldly, and the two three white eyes glanced at Gonggong Dan, who had just run to his side, and one raised his leg, and kicked him directly to the ground without saying anything.

The place where he was kicked was the upper part of his left abdomen, and there was exactly a rib there, and Gonggong Dan felt a pain, but he could only get up, knelt down quickly, and came to the emperor again.

"I didn't expect that she had no intention of planting willows back then, but she gave birth to a son to me, but the nurse's words could not be trusted. Hate the people of the North! If it weren't for the fall of the horse back then, I would never have been able to ...... That stinky woman! ”

Another kick hit Gonggong Dan's back, with a lot of force, Gonggong Dan stumbled and almost fell to the ground again.

But he didn't expect that this was just the beginning, the emperor kept kicking at him one after another, and he could only bear it, after all, for many years, punches and kicks had been a common occurrence for him.

"Hmm...... It's just my blood or blood, it's not, he's now the rightful King Kang, and I'm my nephew, so I'll do everything as usual......"

The emperor got up and went to the inner room to sleep, but Gonggong Dan still knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of the emperor's departure.

No one knew that the face of Gonggong Dan, who was facing the ground, was full of ridicule of the departing back, in addition to the incessant nosebleeds and a hideous twist.
