This inexplicable self-satisfaction made the smile on Qin Zheng's face tremble a little, Gu Jiu obviously wanted to scold him, but seeing him like this, he couldn't help but sigh, gritted his teeth, and said softly: "How did you hurt this time?" ”

Qin Zheng was in Dali Temple, and injuries in his previous life happened from time to time, but at that time, Gu Jiu was not qualified to ask about him, so he could only worry secretly behind his back.

But this life is different, she is standing in front of him, and she can ask him openly what is going on, but the more she knows, the more difficult she feels that Qin Zheng's situation will be.

To put it nicely, he is the emperor's favorite minister, but it is ugly to say, he is a knife in the emperor's hand, the emperor can use it however he wants, and Qin Zheng has no room to refute.

For example, today.

Seeing that the little girl's eyes were full of worry, Qin Zheng's eyebrows became softer and softer, and he stretched out his hand to grab her, and said softly: "When I went to arrest someone, some people resisted, but they have all been arrested, you can rest assured." ”

When he said this, he was actually deliberately weakening the thrill of the matter at that time, but Gu Jiu was not a child, how could he not know.

When she heard what he said, she instantly remembered how hot he was in the afternoon, and at that time, Qin Zheng's body was full of coldness, and it had something to do with it.

She didn't ask again, just bit her lip lightly and said, "How many times have you said that you should be careful......

Even if she complained, the little girl's voice was delicate, and the fragility revealed in it made Qin Zheng's expression a little unbearable.

He stretched out his hand, hugged Gu Jiu with his intact arm, and said softly: "I didn't pay attention to it this time, and it will definitely not be next time, okay if Ah Jiu isn't angry?" ”

Where is she angry, she is just worried.

But now, when she heard Qin Zheng's words, she felt a little self-blame.

"It's all my uselessness, not only can't I help you, but I want you to miss me."

It is clear that she is his wife and should be his virtuous helper.

But Qin Zheng didn't even dare to tell herself that she was injured, for fear that she would be frightened, and such thoughtfulness and concern made Gu Jiu's heart a little uncomfortable.

If she could be a little stronger, she wouldn't need Qin Zheng to shield herself from the wind and rain.

The little girl's entanglement, Qin Zheng saw it clearly, he chuckled, lowered his head and kissed her eyebrows, and then sighed softly: "I'm a little sleepy, let's go home, okay?" ”

Last night, he brought the case to trial overnight, and he was originally in good spirits, but after seeing Gu Jiu, Qin Zheng realized that he was also a family person.

Home, what a warm word, and now, his girl came from home to take him back.

Seeing the fatigue in Qin Zheng's eyes, Gu Jiu naturally did not refuse, so he immediately took the things for him and returned to the house with him.

……

After returning home, Qin Zheng thought about it, and finally told Gu Jiu briefly about the matter, so that she could pay more attention these days.

Gu Jiu was so focused on Qin Zheng's injury that she didn't pay attention to what he said, and it wasn't until the next day, when the news spread in Beijing, that she realized what was going on in Beijing.

The case of the second prince was reversed.

Previously, the second prince was imprisoned on charges of colluding with North Vietnam. At that time, everyone in Beijing was in danger, for fear of being implicated in this case.

But this has not been more than a month, and things have already taken a shocking turn.

The courtiers of the military department presented a recital, but the fact of collusion with North Vietnam was false, and it was the third prince who laid the blame on the second prince for this matter.

When he learned about this, Qin Zheng was recuperating at home, Gu Jiu couldn't help but be a little surprised, and asked softly, "Is this a bit too coincidental?" ”

At that time, the matter of the second prince was almost a certainty, because there were many confessions, so there were only those who fell into the well, and there was no charcoal in the snow.

But coincidentally, just when the emperor was about to believe this, a guard came out to tell the truth.

This man claimed to be the personal guard of the third prince, and it is said that because the man knew too much about being killed and escaped death, he came to expose his former master.

His words are not credible, but there is evidence in the hands of the partially.

It was an engraved tiger talisman, and this tiger talisman was owned by Prince Li, who was a border general at the time.

Although after the victory of Western Chu and Beiyue, this tiger talisman was returned. But at that time, the tiger talisman was really in the hands of Prince Li.

And at that time, the third prince did send someone to look for him privately.

In such a long past, the bureau was laid out, if it was just to frame the second prince, this matter would be a little unreasonable, unless he had a different heart at that time.

The emperor's suspicion was serious, and he immediately ordered someone to arrest the guard, but at the same time, he ordered the three princes to be strictly investigated.

Qin Zheng was injured when he arrested someone last night.

He had known about these things for a long time, but now when he heard Gu Jiu smell it, he only hooked his lips slightly, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of coldness: "It's naturally a coincidence, but it's also a fact." ”

He didn't do anything, he just added fuel to the fire.

After all, the facts are all true, but he reversed the order before and after.

But Qin Zheng was reluctant to spread these things out in front of Gu Jiu, so after saying this, he said again: "The next thing will not be related to Dali Temple." ”

Unless, that happens.

Qin Zheng pinched his fingers and hid the cold glint in his eyes.

In the next few days, Qin Zheng was really idle at home, because Xie Yuanzhu came to Beijing with his children, and they also visited.

But the leisure of the Qin family is diametrically opposed to the situation in Beijing.

The matter of the three princes planting is just the beginning, but in just a few days, an even more shocking news has been found.

He is associated with the Red Lotus Sect.

The incriminating evidence, along with the follow-up to the last Hedong River incident, was presented to the emperor's dragon case, which made Long Yan furious.

If the previous time, the emperor still refused to believe it by chance, then this time, he couldn't help but believe it.

Qin Zheng only raised it at home for five days.

On the night of the fifth day, he was summoned into the palace by a secret edict from the emperor.

The incriminating evidence of the three princes was just the beginning, pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, and the successive behind-the-scenes were dug up by the three divisions and presented to the emperor, which also made him begin to doubt deeply.

He felt that there was no clean place around him, so he remembered Qin Zheng.

When he called people over, there was a bit of gloom in his voice: "I will leave this matter to you to investigate, and you must find out to me!" ”

After getting the emperor's words, Qin Zheng lowered his eyes in response, but heard the emperor ask, "How about the things that asked you to check before?" ”

After the matter of the Xuanguo Mansion, Qin Zheng found clues along the way, and the emperor allowed him to investigate, and therefore specially opened the royal Lingyun Pavilion and let him check the information since the founding of the country.

Qin Zheng only said that he was investigating at the time, but he never returned to the emperor in the future.

At this time, I heard him ask, but he paused, and then said: "Back to the emperor, the minister is still investigating." ”

There are some things that are not the time to talk about yet.

The emperor did not notice his abnormality, and only nodded, "You go." ”

Hearing this, Qin Zheng responded respectfully, and saw that the emperor's eyes were full of exhaustion, so he saluted and walked out of the hall.

When only he was left in the palace, the emperor looked around with some trepidation.

Once those gentle appearances are punctured, it is discovered that the peace that has been painstakingly maintained for many years is nothing more than a piece of paper, which is broken when poked.

There is no family affection in the heavenly family, whether it was back then or now.

He leaned back, his hands clenched into fists, and looked softly at his forehead, his eyes full of coldness.

The events of the year are irreparable, but this time, he can't be confused anymore!

After all, he's not old!

There was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, which made the emperor sit up straight suddenly, and the next moment he heard the inner chamberlain coming and going: "Your Majesty, Concubine De Niangniang is here." ”

Since the accident of the third prince, Concubine De has come to intercede every day, and what she said is nothing more than a few words, in addition to saying that the third prince is wronged, is to ask yourself to be gracious.

The emperor sneered, if he didn't show his kindness, I am afraid that the three princes would be killed several times.

But now, what he has done is that the emperor can't be soft-hearted!

Thinking of this, the emperor squinted, the warmth in his eyes was not there, but was full of coldness: "Let her go." ”

The inner eunuch was busy responding, but before he could reach the door, he was stopped by the emperor again: "Wait." ”

Seeing this, the inner eunuch thought that there would be a turnaround, and hurriedly stood still, but heard the emperor say again: "What she said is right, the third child is rebellious this time, and it is indeed his godson who has no way." Now that she recognizes her mistake, accept the punishment. Put Concubine De into the cold palace and reflect on herself. ”

For so many years, the emperor can't say that he has no feelings for Concubine De, but those feelings are not enough in front of interests. Lele Literature

What's more, she also threatened herself with Prince Li's Mansion.

Since you love your son so much, let us share the joys and sorrows with him.

The emperor thought viciously, and when he saw that the inner chamberlain was still standing in place, he immediately said dissatisfiedly: "What are you still doing?" ”

Hearing what he said, the inner eunuch hurriedly agreed, and after he could get out, he quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Not long after he left, the emperor summoned people to enter the door again, but this time, it was someone who drove and went to Suyue Tower.

There, there is a beauty, a beauty who pays tribute from Miaojiang.

……

Concubine De didn't expect that the result of her coming to intercede turned out to be that she was imprisoned in the cold palace.

Different from the golden splendor in her palace, the barren grass in the cold palace is dilapidated, and there has not been many people living in it for so many years, which makes it more and more infiltrating.

At night, the wind was howling, Concubine De was shivering from the cold, but the composure she had maintained before was now half a cent, and there was a little more panic in her eyes.

Although reason told her that the emperor would not abandon them like this, after all, Concubine De came from the palace of Prince Li, and she looked at the face of the Buddha without looking at the face of the monk, but in the face of the current environment, she felt a lot less in her heart.

If so, does the emperor really not look at those faces?

She was a little worried for a while, and then she brought out a little trepidation, so many years of pampering and pampering had long since worn away her willfulness back then.

She tightened her head, endured the little worry, and kept thinking in her heart.

The matter of the Red Lotus Sect, in fact, Concubine De knows, not only knows, but also has a great relationship with her.

After all......

Among the people who funded the Red Lotus Sect back then, there was also her!

But those relationships have long been closed up, and it stands to reason that even if her son uses those people, he will not be caught by his little tail.

Unless, someone wants to harm him.

Concubine De was distraught and tried to calm herself, but at this moment she heard a few birds chirping outside.

In the middle of the night, the screaming was quite scary.

The next moment, I saw that the window was knocked a few times.

Concubine De was suddenly startled, and asked in a deep voice outside, "Who?" ”

Before she finished speaking, she saw someone jump in from outside and boo her: "Niangniang, it's me." ”

Seeing that person, Concubine De's heart instantly returned to its original position.

The person who came was Mingguang, the big girl next to her.

"Say hello to the mother."

Seeing her coming, Concubine De nodded in response, and asked again, "Mingguang, what have you found?" ”

Speaking of which, this is also a coincidence, after knowing that the third prince had an accident, Concubine De asked Mingguang to secretly go to find out the news, she was eating with the eunuchs who entered and exited the palace, and it was easy to go out at this time.

Who knew that before she came back, she would be locked up in the cold palace first.

Concubine De thought that she couldn't get any news this time, but who knew that Mingguang actually came back, which undoubtedly made Concubine De's heart feel a lot more at ease.

"Back to Niangniang, the slaves and maids have all been checked."

She told the matter again, and said at the end: "Niangniang, now the third prince has been sent to prison, but before the worst time, the slave maid has a way." ”

As soon as these words came out, Concubine De was slightly stunned and asked, "What way?" ”

Mingguang said softly: "Niangniang, you know, the Red Lotus Sect was not originally a crime of the Third Prince. ”

Hearing her words, Concubine De was stunned for a moment, but she didn't know what she thought, and instantly understood: "You mean ......?"

Seeing that she understood, Mingguang nodded, lowered his voice and said: "Niangniang knows, now only you can save him, please make a decision as soon as possible!" ”

Concubine De took a deep breath, but she didn't nod immediately, but said in a deep voice: "But now, isn't it a little late to say this?" ”

What if it's self-defeating?

Concubine De knew what Mingguang meant, after all, these things had nothing to do with her son on the surface.

If it was said that earlier, those evidences were discovered, it might have become a dead end, but now it is different, and now there is one more person in Shangjing.

And this person, if it works properly, can bring this game of chess to life!

Concubine De only hesitated for a moment in her heart, and then heard Mingguang say: "Niangniang, when it is decided, it will be decided, not to mention, they are originally doing things for the third prince, and they should be loyal to the master, aren't they?" ”

As soon as she said this, she obviously spoke to Concubine De's heart.

She didn't hesitate anymore and nodded in response, "Okay!" ”

As Mingguang said, she had to save her own son, as for other people's sons, what does that have to do with her!

Concubine De made up her mind, whispered a few words to Mingguang, and only after the person left, did she return to the room and sit.

There is no shelter from the wind and rain all around, and this kind of environment is the first time in her life that she has lived.

Concubine De had disgust in her eyes, pinched the handkerchief in her hand, and had some hesitation before, but now she was firm.

Mingguang, this girl is ruthless enough, and she actually thought of the road she didn't expect.

Although this is like a broken wrist, but a broken arm is better than losing your head, isn't it?

Concubine De thought that she was very open-minded, so in just a moment, she strengthened her thoughts.

As for the kid......

In the final analysis, it was the person who was sorry for her back then, and now he should use his son to save her son.

Besides, her emperor also deserves this rescue!

……

The night is cold, and the weather in early winter can't help but make people shy when walking on the street.

Especially in such a palace, because countless people have been buried, it brings out the gloom.

A woman walked briskly through it, and before she got a low house, she first looked around and saw that there was no one, and then she knocked cautiously on the door.

When the door opened, an old hand stretched out, and the woman slipped the lantern into his hand, whispered a few words, and turned away.

When she was gone, the man withdrew his hand, and threw out a lantern skin.

As for the note inside the lantern, it was in the man's hand. The liquidation of the three princes after they were imprisoned was a little more serious than the courtiers imagined.

Even the prince of Zhennan, who originally just stayed in the capital to have fun, was also implicated at this time.

When he was imprisoned, the first reaction of the ministers was some surprise, but soon, they found some clues.

For example, this son, who claims to be good at eating, drinking, and having fun, used to frequented Changle Fang in the past.

And there, it has now been confirmed by Qin Zheng, and they are all people from the Red Lotus Sect.

The reason why he was arrested is also because of this, but the real reason for making things big is because when he was arrested, he happened to meet with several prisoners who were transferred to the criminal department.

And those people, when they saw Shangguan Yuan, the prince of Zhennan, their first reaction was to recognize him as their "master".

As soon as this incident came out, not only the courtiers, but even the emperor was shocked.

I thought it was just a quick check, but who knew that he really caught a big one!

It doesn't feel good to be deceived, at least for the emperor, this matter is stepping on his bottom line and trampling on it repeatedly.

And the consequence of the emperor's anger was that everyone in the Zhennan Palace's palace in the capital was arrested and entered the criminal department together.

Originally, these people, the emperor planned to hand them over to Qin Zheng for disposal, but Qin Zheng was injured when he was arresting people before, and he didn't recover from it.

No matter how beastly the emperor was, he couldn't take Qin Zheng's body so seriously, so he allowed him to go home and rest for two days.

But who knows, in just a few days, something will happen.

Inside the prison of the Criminal Department, which was supposed to be the most dense place, was infiltrated by assassins.

And the target of the assassin was Shangguan Yuan.
