Chapter 20: Stealing Beams and Changing Pillars

At night, the deep palace is silent, except for the three palaces and six courtyards, there is a solemn and treacherous atmosphere everywhere.

The Praetorian Guards stood on top of the tower without smiling, and they all cheered up to take care of the royal family, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

A carriage stopped in front of the palace gate, the guards checked the identity of the person who came, the bronze red palace gate creaked open, and Li Quan, the chief eunuch beside the emperor, had been waiting for a long time.

Dressed in white, he got out of the carriage with a straight posture and neat movements, walked to Li Quan unhurriedly, and said softly, "There is Father-in-law." ”

Li Quan held a dim lantern in his hand, bowed down slightly and said, "The emperor is in the imperial study, please come with me quickly." ”

Walking briskly against the high wall, it took nearly half a column of incense to reach Mu Xiuhan's place.

Along the way, Song Yi had wind under his feet, but his expression was solemn, this time he came, it was bound to be another disaster.

I just don't know what kind of calculation the man had.

"General," Li Quan's voice sounded, "please come in." ”

Before she knew it, she had arrived at the imperial study, she raised her eyes and thought for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Who has come to the emperor today?" ”

Mu Xiuhan's temperament is difficult to fathom, so she can't help but put some thought into it.

Li Quan is the chief eunuch, so he naturally knows everything, his expression is unwavering, but his eyes look at Song Yi with a deep meaning and say, "The general will know when he goes in." ”

The word "Xiao" was slightly aggravated, Song Yi was relieved, and said with his hands clasped, "Thank you, father-in-law." ”

This time, it was not calculated by him, but by his own brother!

Taking a deep breath, Song Yi frowned slightly and pushed the door and walked in

There is only a lamp lit in front of Mu Xiuhan's desk in the imperial study of Nuoda, he is dressed in a loose black thin shirt, his hair is simply tied up, and he has no cold air in front of the civil and military officials during the day, but he looks like a son who reads idle books at night in his own study.

But Song Yi knew that this person was the Ninety-Five Emperor who sat on thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and if she showed a flaw in front of him tonight, her head might fall to the ground, so she didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, walked to a place about a meter in front of his case, bowed and whispered, "See the emperor." ”

He didn't respond, only the lonely candle flame was jumping in the imperial study, Song Yi waited for a moment and half knelt down and raised his eyes slightly, just in front of his secretive eyes.

In the midst of lightning and fire, she saw the killing intent in his eyes, and she also saw the inquiry.

But her eyes were clear, and she couldn't see a trace of panic looking directly at him, and asked, "The emperor called his ministers late at night, I don't know what's going on?" ”

Mu Xiu looked at her coldly and ruthlessly like a sculpture, suddenly his lips bent slightly, and his body moved forward a little closer to Song Yi, his calm and threatening voice sounded, "Song Yi, you are really not afraid of me." ”

If ordinary people were looked at directly by the Son of Heaven like this, I am afraid that they would have been frightened and would not dare to raise their heads, but Song Yi was different, she knelt straight, there was no slightest transgression in etiquette, but there was no cowardice in her tone, she said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Since ancient times, only tyrants will be feared by courtiers, and the emperor is a generation of Ming Jun, and the ministers only have respect and loyalty in their hearts." ”

With a sneer, Mu Xiuhan said lightly, "Loyalty? Are you Song Yi really loyal to me? ”

An understatement was murderous, and the chill made people shudder, but Song Yi straightened up and lowered his eyelids and said indifferently, "Does the emperor want his ministers to abolish their martial arts to prove their innocence?" This life belongs to the emperor, where did the disloyalty come from? ”

Song Yi didn't blink her eyes when she said this, everything she had done since she returned to the dynasty, as well as the scab on her neck, all told Mu Xiuhan that she was a person who was ruthless to herself, and if he said today that she wanted her to abolish her martial arts, she would probably not hesitate.

A person who only has three successes left, why should she be allowed to abolish her martial arts to prove her innocence? If that's the case, it's better to kill her directly.

The person sitting on the couch tapped the table with his fingertips, and he didn't see a clue in this temptation, and he even began to suspect that Song Xiao's purpose was not pure.

Either she's really innocent, or she's too good at hiding herself, and if it's the latter, then this person is too terrible.

After a long time, Mu Xiuhan asked lightly, "Do you know where Ye Hai is?" ”

A candle flame blown by the wind from nowhere shook violently, and the light and darkness in the imperial study flickered for a while.

"I don't know." Song Yi replied, "When Qian'an Hou Ye Hui was purged, Weichen was still in the frontier, and besides, the minister had not had a deep relationship with anyone in the past six years, so why should he risk the crime of killing his head and associating with the son of a criminal minister?" ”

Song Yi raised his handsome eyes and looked straight at Mu Xiuhan, with an open heart and no waves.

What he said made Mu Xiuhan not make a mistake, he smiled, and his deep eyes flashed with cold light, but today Song Xiao secretly came to the palace and said that Song Yi was secretly hiding Ye Hai, the son of the criminal minister Ye Hui, and he was shocked in his heart, how could Song Yi be so bold, so it was rumored that Song Yi came to the palace to test it, who knew that this person could not see the slightest flaw.

"Ye Hai, the son of the former Anhou Ye Hui, is still missing, I order you to be responsible for this matter, if anyone dares to hide the son of the criminal minister, there will be no forgiveness!"

A cold voice sounded, and the person in front of the case slowly got up, and when he passed by Song Yi's side, he glanced at her meaningfully.

In the end, the three words "no forgiveness" seemed to be said to her Song Yi.

After walking out of the deep palace compound, Song Yi breathed a long sigh of relief, and the cold sweat on her back had already soaked her inner lining.

escaped another catastrophe, and the taste of this companion like a tiger is really uncomfortable.

She misses the battlefield a little, although it is bitter, but it is enjoyable!

Although he escaped this time, with Mu Xiuhan's personality, this matter will definitely not end so easily, he will definitely send someone to investigate this matter, and Ye Hai may have to be sent out of the city as soon as possible.

Song Yi got into the carriage and went home, and the big palace behind her was getting farther and farther away from her like a sleeping giant beast in the dark night, but she still had palpitations.

The next day, Song Yi found himself under surveillance, and it seemed that he was some new face, not a member of the Praetorian Guard.

She looked outside at a few people staring at the courtyard with a nervous expression, and knew in her heart that Mu Xiuhan really didn't trust her.

Back in the house, Song Yi took a teacup and blew open the floating leaves, and took a sip of tea calmly.

"General!" Jing Yushan appeared in the Song Mansion again, and began to shout Song Yi in the corridor with a rough voice.

Although Jing Yulian has already served as the supervisor of the Song family's army, he still has to report the situation in the army to Song Yi every day.

"General," he stepped into the room, with a complicated look in his eyes, and when he saw Song Yi drinking tea, he sat down at the table, and said in a low voice, "I saw many suspicious people outside, could it be that the emperor sent them?" ”

Although Jing Yushan is rough, he is very smart, and he can see the clues at a glance, and even Song Yi can't help but look at him differently.

Nodding, Song Yi's brows gathered slightly, and said, "I've been targeted now, it's inconvenient to act, you don't have too much contact with me these days, don't set yourself on fire again," his eyes were calm, and he said as if he was entrusted, "Song Jiajun can no longer fall into the hands of others, your duty is to supervise them, and leave the rest to me, remember not to be impulsive!" ”

"But the general......" Jing Yu's face was full of sadness, "You have been monitored, how to arrange it?" ”

This is also what Song Yi is worried about, even though she has experienced a hundred battles, but now she is trapped in the imperial city, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at her every day, and it is even more difficult to send Ye Hai out of the city than to ascend to the sky.

"I'll contact Doctor Xue and ask him to think of a way." Jing Yushan said.

"No way!" Song Yi vetoed this proposal sharply, "It's a matter of life and death, don't involve other innocent people to come in." She looked away, as if she was thinking about something.

That night, the words "kill without forgiveness" kept echoing in Song Yi's heart, Mu Xiuhan's decision to kill was ruthless, and the person who was determined to get rid of him would definitely not let him live.

But the former An Hou Yong I, who fought all his life, leaving only Ye Hai alone, how could she watch the Ye family's vein be broken like this?

Loyalty and righteousness have been difficult to achieve since ancient times, and Song Yi can only choose to stand on the side that she thinks is right.

"Let's not talk about this for now, is there anything serious in the army?" Song Yi decided to put Ye Hai's affairs aside for the time being.

Speaking of things in the army, Jing Yushan came to his senses, and he said brightly, "Our Song family army is all right now, but I heard that there were deserters in Saibei, and last night he knocked out the battalion officer in charge of purchasing, changed into that person's clothes and ran away, and now the whole country is chasing it!" What a bold man is this stealer......"

Stealing beams and changing columns......

Suddenly, an idea popped into her head.

It's just that if Mu Xiuhan knew, he would be eager to break her body into pieces......
