After learning that Lord Lin was dug up by Huo Lingxiao, Huo Zeyu and Concubine Yao were angry.

Although this Lord Lin does not have much influence in the court, he is not a small person, he is decent and knowledgeable, and he is very favored by the emperor.

They had won over Lord Lin at the beginning, but they put a lot of effort into it, who would have thought that this Lord Lin had been dug up by Huo Lingxiao now, how could they not be angry?

"It's Huo Lingxiao again, I definitely can't spare him this time!" Huo Zeyu said indignantly and hammered the table next to him.

Concubine Yao's reaction was roughly similar to Huo Zeyu's, except that he was still concerned about some images and was not as rude as Huo Zeyu.

"That's right. Since he has won over Lin Da, then we will tell the emperor that he has formed a party for personal gain, and according to the emperor's temperament, he will definitely not be spared. Concubine Yao said, a vicious smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, as if she had seen the scene of Huo Lingxiao panicking when he was suspicious of the emperor.

The two of them quickly brought this matter to the emperor, and when they said that Huo Lingxiao was in a party for personal gain and had bad intentions, he was loyal and good, as if he was really thinking about the emperor.

The emperor naturally knew that the purpose of the two of them was definitely not simple, but seeing the two of them like this, he still asked Huo Lingxiao to call.

When Huo Lingxiao came out, he didn't know what the emperor was looking for him, and when he saw Huo Zeyu and Concubine Yao, everything was clear, but he still had to pretend not to know.

"Father, I don't know what is the important thing for you to summon your sons?" Huo Lingxiao said and respectfully saluted the emperor.

When the emperor saw Huo Lingxiao, his brows stretched slightly.

"It's not too important, but I heard that you have been close to Lord Nalin recently? Some people say that you have the intention of forming a party for selfishness, and I naturally don't believe it, but I still have to ask you to ask, and I will be right in my heart. There was a smile on the emperor's face, which seemed a little gentle and kind.

But Huo Lingxiao knew that this was just the emperor's mask.

So Huo Lingxiao hurriedly pretended to be frightened, knelt down to the emperor and said, "Father, I don't know who is going to you for such slander, but the son's heart for his father and emperor can be learned from heaven and earth, and it is impossible for him to form a party for personal gain." ”

When the emperor heard Huo Lingxiao say this, the smile on his face became more genuine, and he waved his hand to let Huo Lingxiao get up, "I know that you are a good boy, and you will never do this kind of thing, but there are some things that still need to be made clear." ”

Huo Lingxiao didn't get up, he still knelt on the spot and said earnestly, "Erchen has been getting a little close to Lord Lin recently, and it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of people with a heart, if someone questions it, Erchen can take out the correspondence with Lord Lin, which is just Erchen asking Lord Lin for advice, and there is absolutely no trace of involvement in the court." It just so happens that there is still a letter in the hand of the retainer that has not been sent, and you can see it now, father. ”

Huo Lingxiao said as he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to the emperor through the hands of the eunuchs.

After the emperor looked at it carefully, he found that there was indeed no clue, plus Huo Lingxiao was already so frank, if he really said that he wanted to search the previous correspondence between Huo Lingxiao and Lord Lin, it would be clear that he did not trust Huo Lingxiao, and he would not be able to say anything on his face.

In the end, the emperor could only nod and return the letter to Huo Lingxiao, "I didn't misread you, you are really a child, it seems that this is just someone who has a heart to speculate too much." ”

When the emperor said the three words "someone with a heart", he also looked at Huo Zeyu and Yao Guifei who were standing aside.

Huo Zeyu was still a little unconvinced when he heard the emperor say this, and stood up and said, "Father, the son thinks that he can't see anything just by looking at the letter, maybe he prepared it in advance, but he can't say. ”

Huo Lingxiao sneered when he heard this, "If it were you, would you forge a letter with others at any time, hide it on your body and wait for others to check you?" ”

"That's not impossible." Huo Zeyu is still aggressive.

Huo Lingxiao laughed even harder, "Then I really didn't think about this possibility." Besides, it was the fourth brother who got closer to Lord Lin before, why did I just ask Lord Lin for some questions and then it became a party for personal gain, and Lord Lin and the fourth brother you have no problem together? Could it be that Lord Lin can only get close to you, the fourth brother? ”

Huo Lingxiao's words were almost about to be said directly, Huo Zeyu was angry and framed himself because Lord Lin didn't want to be with him, but he didn't say it directly.

Anyone with a discerning eye can understand what he means, but he can't refute it.

When the emperor saw this, he had no choice but to start making peace with the mud.

"Well, today this is just a misunderstanding, and now that everything is clear, let's not find out whose fault it is. Let's all go down first, Ling Xiao, don't forget about the assassins. ”

Huo Lingxiao replied "yes", others didn't look at Huo Zeyu, they went out of the hall directly and returned to their own mansion.

The emperor had just mentioned the matter of the assassin, but he didn't expect that as soon as Huo Lingxiao returned to the mansion, this matter would already be raised. 315 Chinese Network

"Lord, the person behind the assassin has been found." Huo Lingxiao's Secret Guard Shadow reported to Huo Lingxiao after Huo Lingxiao returned home.

Huo Lingxiao nodded, not in a hurry to know who it was, but went to the study to make sure that there was no one else before letting the shadow continue.

"It's someone sent by the prince." Shadow said. "Lord, do you want to tell the emperor about this now?"

Huo Lingxiao shook his head, "Don't worry, I'll write the chapter first, wait for him in a day or two, and see if he will come to me." ”

The shadow understood what Huo Lingxiao meant, and then he didn't say anything more and retreated.

Sure enough, the prince soon learned the news that Huo Lingxiao had found him out, and the night before Huo Lingxiao handed him over, the prince knocked on the door of Huo Lingxiao's mansion.

The prince came alone, without anyone with him, and dressed plainly, as if he didn't want to attract the attention of others at all.

But Huo Lingxiao had been waiting for him for a long time, so even if the prince was like this, he still easily entered Huo Lingxiao's mansion.

"You should know what I'm coming to you for?" As soon as the prince saw Huo Lingxiao, he said directly.

Huo Lingxiao didn't bother to go around in circles with him, nodded and said, "I do know what you came to me for, for that assassin's business, right?" ”

The crown prince nodded frankly, "Indeed, I hope you don't tell the emperor about this matter, as for the conditions, you can mention as long as I can accept it." ”

"I do have conditions I want to put forward to you, I hope you can take care of your crown princess and concubine, don't let her make trouble in the academy, or go with Princess Wen Ke to stumble on Wei Xiyue, can you agree? I guess it shouldn't be difficult for you. Huo Lingxiao didn't look at the prince either, half leaning on the pear blossom wooden chair he was sitting on, his black hair fell a little, and he looked lazy.

It's also a look of not taking the prince in his eyes at all.

The crown prince frowned when he heard him say this, "Can't you change the condition?" ”

Huo Lingxiao shook his head, "No, there is only this one condition, whether you agree or not, it all depends on you." If you agree, I will agree, if you don't agree, then please go back, I will be in a hurry to deliver the recital tomorrow. ”

Huo Lingxiao said and picked up the piece that said that the prince sent an assassin to assassinate Huo Zeyu, and fortunately read it a few times, and there were words in his mouth, as if he was worried that there would be a speech disease.

When the prince saw this, he knew that Huo Lingxiao would not change his mind, so he had no choice but to agree, "Okay, I will take a good look at Concubine Yue, and I won't let her and Princess Wen Ke go together to embarrass Wei Xiyue, so it's okay, right?" ”

Huo Lingxiao nodded, "I hope you won't go back on your word, otherwise, I believe I still have a way to let my father know the truth." ”

The crown prince frowned half-impatiently, half-disgusted, "I know, no, you'd better deal with this matter, otherwise I won't keep my promise." ”

After the two reached a consensus on a certain level, the prince quietly left Huo Lingxiao's mansion.

The next day, Huo Lingxiao entered the palace as originally planned and told the emperor about the assassins.

Seeing that Huo Lingxiao had an eyebrow on this matter, the emperor was in a better mood and asked, "Tell me, what did you find out?" ”

Huo Lingxiao bowed his hand to the emperor, "Erchen has already found out who sent the assassin to assassinate the fourth brother." It was an assassin sent by the Tsukimi Province in the southeast of our country, and it was probably because he was dissatisfied with paying tribute to my court every year, so some courtiers in Tsukimi Province did it without permission. ”

"Tsukimi Country?" The Emperor repeated these three words, his tone clearly questioning.

Yuejian Country is just a small border country, with no resources and no status, how could he do such a thing?

Huo Lingxiao saw that the emperor seemed to still have doubts, so he said again, "Erchen was also surprised, so he sent someone to check a few times, and Erchen can be sure that it is indeed someone sent by Yuejian Country." However, Yuejian is just a small country, and this matter has not been successful, there is really no need to make a big move, and the father only needs to appease and appease the fourth brother. ”

According to the emperor's keenness, he quickly sensed the moisture in Huo Lingxiao's words, but as Huo Lingxiao said, this assassination incident was not successful, whether it was the hand of the small border country or not, there was really no need to make a big move, so he also turned a blind eye to it.

"How about what to do with the Assassin, then?" The Emperor said again.

Having said this, Huo Lingxiao also kept an eye on it, "Back to my father, the assassin who assassinated the prince should be beheaded for his crime, but his assassination attempt and direct killing will inevitably show that you are not benevolent enough, and you will be imprisoned for life." ”

The emperor nodded, and he agreed, let the assassin be disposed of according to his method, and gave some things to Huo Zeyu and Concubine Yao, and the matter was over.
