As soon as Nangong Yi returned to the palace, the housekeeper Feng came and went, and Gongzi Xie came.

"Invite him to the study, and the king will go over after changing his clothes. He said.

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

——

In the study, Xie Tian was holding tea, his face was very indifferent, even when Nangong Yi came in, he only raised his eyelids and looked at it, but did not stand up and salute, and Nangong Yi had no intention of pursuing it.

"What do the adults say?"

"According to what you and I guessed at the beginning, the Yushitai are all Qingliu civil officials, and they heard that the disaster relief funds in Qiongzhou were divided by local officials, and the crowd was furious. Nangong Yi pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed.

"Huaiyang Hou faction officials fall, others will have a chance to top, plus Qiongzhou is about to make a big move, the best time to make some achievements, of course they look at the Li family Mansion unlucky. ”

Nangong Yi said while drinking tea: "It's still Lord Xie who teaches well, if Lord Xie's protégé goes to guard Qiongzhou, this king is relieved." ”

"It's good that you understand what your father is thinking," Xie Tian looked at him in surprise, "But do you really want his people to go to Qiongzhou?"

Nangong Yi raised his head, "Lord Xie is loyal and upright, his protégés are all over the court, and he is an important minister of the court, if he recommends someone to Qiongzhou, this king will definitely allow him." ”

"You, alas," Xie Tian stopped talking, shook his head and said: "Father is indeed loyal, but he is also too loyal, in short, you have to be careful." ”

"I just saw you standing with Ikebana in front of the Imperial Tower. ”

Xie Tian's expression was imperceptibly cold, "Not bad." ”

"Did you tell her?"

"Nope. Xie Tian said lazily: "You didn't tell her, and I won't talk much." ”

Xie Tian also said that he was comfortable lying, after all, Hua Yu guessed it, not counting his mouth.

Nangong Yi didn't look like anything had changed, sat back behind his desk, and asked, "When will Cui Rong's evidence of corruption be delivered?"

"Don't worry, five days later, the Dali Temple will definitely be able to take it out, and if you don't take it out now, you are afraid that the Cui family will do something in advance. ”

Nangong Yi nodded, indicating that he knew, "Well, then if you're fine, first-"

"But I've heard a not-so-good piece of news, you have to be careful. "Your Highness Xie Tianxindao, you are too obvious, after inquiring about the flower path chief, it seems that you want to send me away.

"What's the news?"

"The prince of Qi went to visit my father yesterday, and I heard that he is interested in going to the court trial. ”

Nangong Yi frowned, "Oh?

"Will His Highness let him go?"

Nangong Yi pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay, let him go if he wants to, he is a distinguished guest, and this king is not easy to stop." ”

"If Your Highness doesn't want him to come forward, for fear of trouble, why not trap him in Liuyun Temple. ”

"It's not that he doesn't have legs, this king said that he can be locked up if he is locked up?" Nangong Yi opened a book of folds at random and said casually.

"We can't lock him up, others may not be able to, maybe the flower path can. Xie Tian said.

"Xie Tian," Nangong Yi looked up at him directly, and said lightly: "Don't get involved with her about Chang'an." ”

"It's just to ask her for a favor, is Your Highness unwilling to accept her favor?"

Nangong Yi was silent for a long time and said: "Yes, she is a cultivator and a Taiyuan Guanren, so it is not easy to repay her favor." ”

Xie Tian said: "The prince of Qi is also half a cultivator, and his cultivation is very high, and we don't know if he has any evil sect Taoism you encountered in Qiongzhou, in case he does something during the court trial, who can see it? Aren't you afraid that your plan will be mixed up by him?"

"Ahem. Before Nangong Yi could say anything, he suddenly coughed again.

Seeing him like this, Xie Tian obviously didn't want to say more, and it was difficult to persuade him again, so he had to bow and leave.

Before leaving, he said: "The prince of Qi revealed to his father that he wanted to go to the court for trial, but I actually couldn't figure out what he thought. I thought that if he couldn't go, then he couldn't do anything about it. But you're right, Ikebana is an outsider, and it's really inappropriate to let her get involved in Chang'an, after all, she will have to go back to Jihua Mountain sooner or later. After Xie Tian said this, he went out.

After Xie Tian left, the study was quiet, Nangong Yi looked down at the green leaves in the teacup, and muttered a sentence like a breeze, "Sooner or later, she will have to go back to Jihua Mountain." ”

——

Five days later, Qi Ding stood outside Dali Temple, standing tall and jade, wearing a brocade robe, waiting for Nangong Yi.

"His Royal Highness King Huai, the palace has also been in Chang'an for a few days, and I am very interested in the two cases of the Rong'an Hou Mansion, and I want to join in the fun, will His Highness think that the palace is uninvited?"

"No, His Royal Highness the Prince, please. Nangong Yi politely invited him to go in together, with a smile on his face, as refreshing as the mountain breeze in the morning.

Qi Ding's heart was really not very happy, Nangong Yi always gave him the impression of being smiling, not in a hurry, never speaking harshly, full of compassion like those ascended immortals, as if nothing was worth his nervousness.

But Qi Feng didn't believe it, he could really deal with everything indifferently and had no weaknesses.

"King Huai, please. Qi Feng stepped into the gate of Dali Temple with him.

——

Hua Wei stood at the end of the alley in the back street of the Marquis of Rong'an, looking at the fact that there was no one on the street, and put on a hood.

Today, the two brothers of the Cui family will be interrogated in Dali Temple, and Rong Anhou and important people in the house will go, this is her best chance and last chance.

She has not been idle in the past few days, she has spent three days laying out an enchantment around the periphery of the Rong'an Hou Mansion, the formation can strengthen her talent in a short time, and the enchantment can only allow her and Lingxiao to enter and exit, and other Taoist priests will be locked inside.

She took a deep breath and pulled out the rune paper and lit it, ready to start.

A few yin winds swept behind her, and Hua Yu suddenly secretly said that it was not good, this feeling was the same as the demon road she had seen in the White Fan Waterfall.

Before she could react, several hot pains came from her back and spine, and the clear air was mixed with warm blood, and Hua Yu fell to the ground like a ragdoll.

——

Dali Temple.

Qi Feng sat at the top of the side, looking at the excitement with a serious face, and Nangong Yi sat opposite him.

"Come, bring the prisoners forward!" said the lord.

At this time, his subordinates suddenly stepped forward and leaned into his ear and said, "Your Highness, the chief of the flower path went to the Rong'an Marquis Mansion and was injured by the demon road. ”

Qi Feng frowned and asked, "Is it seriously injured?"

"Ikebana Chief, bleeding all over the place, fled. ”

Qi Feng was stunned for a moment and fled? She doesn't look like a person who would ignore the lives of her companions in order to survive, she didn't break into the Hou Mansion by force, could it be that she knew that Rong An Hou had set up a net to arrest her?

"Your Highness, do you want to send someone to save her?" the subordinate Xindao Prince insisted on staring at this female crown, but he took a fancy to her?

Qi Feng did not give an order immediately, but glanced at Nangong Yi and said leisurely: "Don't worry, I think someone is more anxious than me." ”

Sure enough, before Cui Rong and the two were escorted to the palace, Xibai rushed in from outside the hall, and Dongwu wanted to stop him, but he didn't stop him.

Xibai leaned into Nangong Yi's ear and said the same thing to Qi Ding's subordinates.

"Where is she now?" Nangong Yi immediately asked.

"It seems to have fled outside the city. ”

Nangong Yi turned his eyes to look at Rong Anhou, his eyes as broad and deep as the stars glowing faintly.

Rong Anhou noticed his eyes, stroked his beard and wondered: "Why does Your Highness have such a face? The two sons of Benhou have not been so worried. ”

"Call your people back. Nangong Yi said quickly in a low voice, his voice was as cold as a rapidly freezing snowfield.

Rong Anhou said: "Then Ben Hou has to arrange it himself, but Ben Hou can't let my child be unjustly killed for no reason?"

At this time, Cui Rong and Cui Li had just been taken outside the hall.

"Bring on—"

"Wait. Nangong Yi suddenly got up and interrupted the words of the hall judge, and the military officials in the palace were all stunned and looked at him together.

Nangong Yi had no emotion in his eyes, and said lightly: "According to the royal decree, the two sons of the Cui family were framed, and they were not guilty after investigation, and they were released together today, and there is no need to try again." ”

"Huh?" voices of confusion and questioning rang out one after another.

A trace of satisfaction flashed in Qi Ding's gloomy eyes, and he got up and said, "Oh, don't try it, then there is no excitement to see, it really disappoints the palace, and I will leave." ”

After he finished speaking, he strode out of the door, and as soon as he left Dali Temple, he shook his sleeves on the street, summoned a black ancient sword, and left.
