Concubine Xie took Xie Zheng and left, but did not return to Hanzhang Palace, but went in the direction of Hualin Garden.

And Xie Zheng walked behind her, secretly pondering all the way, she asked Shen Wenhe to meet in the teahouse, and specially instructed the little guy who passed the word in the past, don't reveal to anyone that it was Shen Wenhe who she Xie Zheng made, how could Xiao Yifu, who was far away in the princess's mansion, know about this matter?

Also, she was summoned to Zhaoyang Hall by Luo Shuyi, and it took less than a pillar of incense, why did Concubine Xie suddenly rush to relieve her?

Is it really just a coincidence?

The group stopped by the lake in Hualin Garden, Xie Zheng did not hide it, and asked: "Niang Niang brought Weichen to Hualin Garden, there must be something to say to Weichen, right?" ”

Concubine Xie stood by the lake, just glanced at Xie Zheng sideways, and said with a smile: "You are a smart person, you must have guessed what this palace is going to say to you." ”

"If it's for partisan disputes, Niangniang doesn't have to say it," Xie Zhenghui smiled lightly at her, and then said: "Weichen's position, Niangniang is clear. ”

Last time in Hanzhang Palace, she had hinted to Xie Guifei, for this reason, Xie Guifei also specially sent someone to take her life, and then blamed King Wuling, she remembered this matter very clearly!

Concubine Xie really wanted to talk about this, she said: "Today is different from the past, the son of this palace blocked the sword for His Majesty, and now His Majesty trusts who is the most, the county lord of Shanyin can see it, you are a person who understands, and you must know who is the wisest choice." ”

"What Niangniang said is very true, Weichen has always been an understanding person, and naturally knows how to do what is right and how to do it wrong."

After Xie Zheng said this, Xie Guifei mistakenly thought that she had seen the situation clearly, and if she wanted to turn to Xiao Ying, she had to hook the corners of her lips, and she was quite powerful.

Unexpectedly, Xie Zheng continued: "The prince is the descendant of the late Empress Zhao, he is orthodox, and he is the eldest son, plus he is known to be virtuous, and he is deeply loved by his subjects. ”

"As for what Niangniang said," Xie Zheng laughed, seeming to be very disdainful, she only said: "Even if His Majesty has favored His Royal Highness the King of Linchuan recently?" It's not that His Majesty prefers whoever becomes the crown prince. ”

Xie Guifei was not surprised when she heard this, nor was she annoyed, Xie Zheng's position seemed to be expected by her, for Xie Zheng, she was also prepared, she sneered: "So, the county lord of Shanyin, is he insisting on going against this palace?" ”

"Niangniang's words are serious," Xie Zheng said in a strange voice: "Weichen has always been kind to others, and he will not intend to go toe-to-toe with Niangniang." ”

"Intentionally?" Concubine Xie sneered: "Xie Zheng, you and I have different political views, and when we turn against each other in the future, who is unintentional?" Could it be that you still expect this palace to show mercy to your subordinates at that time? ”

Xie Guifei was quite confident, and had already decided that she and Xiao Ying would have the last laugh, Xie Zhengzi was not to be outdone, she said: "Who loses and who wins, it is still unknown, Niangniang said this now, it is too early to say." ”

When the words fell, Xie Guifei was still calm, she approached Xie Zheng, and the back half of her body was close to Xie Zheng, whispering to Xie Zheng in her ear: "Those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die, Xie Zheng, this palace has given you a chance, but you don't cherish it." ”

After she said that, she took a step back, Xie Zheng couldn't help frowning when she heard this, she couldn't help but shudder when she saw Xie Guifei smiling at her, she always felt that Xie Guifei had something to say.

Xie Zheng looked at Xie Guifei's eyes, and suddenly in those eyes, she saw a shadow rushing from behind her, she glanced sideways at the reflection in the lake, and sure enough, she saw a young man dressed as a eunuch stabbing her with a sword.

Only then did she react, it turned out that Concubine Xie Gui's words meant that she wanted to take her life.

This Xie Guifei is really vicious, last time she sent someone to assassinate her, and today she wants to kill her, last time she had the protection of Yuzhi, this time, she specially picked Yuzhi to attack her when she was not there.

It seems that he is determined to kill her!

Xie Guifei had already arranged for people to hide in the shadows and wait for the opportunity to move, she knew that Xie Zheng would not agree to work for Xiao Ying in the future, so when she won her over, she didn't have much expectations, but just asked casually, she wanted the assassin to make a move, not all to kill Xie Zheng, but more, but to calculate Xiao Yifu.

As for Xie Zheng, if she is willing to surrender to Xiao Ying, then she will be spared, if she is still unwilling, then she will get rid of it quickly, so that she will not only get rid of the thorn in her eye, but also calculate the thorn in the flesh.

Seeing that the eunuch was about to be killed, Xie Zheng had an idea and exclaimed: "Niangniang, beware of the poisonous spiders under your feet!" ”

said, before Concubine Xie could react, she grabbed her shoulders with both hands, shook her ruthlessly, and forcibly switched positions with her.

If you want to kill her, then block the sword for her first!

The eunuch was windy at his feet, and rushed over with his sword, but he couldn't stop it, and was surprised to see that Xie Zheng was using Xie Guifei as a shield to block the sword, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly did a backflip, and pointed the sword edge elsewhere.

And Xie Guifei was suddenly thrown by Xie Zheng like this, and she couldn't stand firmly, and her feet slipped and she fell into the lake.

Several palace maids led by He Nushi exclaimed: "Niangniang! Empress! ”

Concubine Xie was not accustomed to water, and when she fell into the water, she was shocked, and shouted in the water: "Help!" Help me! ”

The eunuch stood firmly on the ground, regardless of Xie Guifei falling into the water, and persistently killed Xie Zheng, Xie Zheng did not have a jade branch to protect him, and he did not dare to show his skills easily, so he had to retreat again and again, unable to dodge, at this time, a black shadow suddenly flew over the other side of the lake, and its speed was so fast that even Xie Zheng couldn't see who he was.

This man flew from the other side of the lake, kicked the murderer to the ground with a fierce kick, and caught him in three or two blows.

Only then did Xie Zheng see his appearance clearly, it turned out to be Chen Qingzhi!

"What a guts! How dare you commit murder in the palace! Say! Who are you commanding? Chen Qingzhi reprimanded angrily.

The eunuch was escorted by him to kneel on the ground, silent, and did not struggle, Xie Zheng looked at him as if he was at home, obviously he was a dead soldier in the Linchuan Palace, and he was ready to die before he assassinated Xie Zheng.

At that time, Xie Guifei was finally pulled ashore by He Nushi and several palace maids, and as soon as she came up, she pointed at Xie Zheng's nose and scolded: "Okay, you Xie Zheng, dare to push this palace into the water, you are so bold!" ”

Xie Zheng was calm, just pointed to the place where Xie Guifei was standing at the beginning, and said, "There is a poisonous spider on the ground, and Wei Chen Shicai reminded the mother." ”

"You! You ......" Concubine Xie was speechless, she looked back at the ground, and saw that there was indeed a spider that had been trampled to death on the ground, so Xie Zhengshi played her like that, even if it was intentional, she couldn't blame it.

He Nushi was extremely worried, and said: "Niangniang, you better hurry back to the palace to change your clothes, this day, you can't be infected with the wind and cold!" ”

Concubine Xie was angry, but she didn't care about the warmth and coldness, after He Nushi said this, she felt cold all over, so she glanced at Xie Zheng again, and then brushed her sleeves away.

After only a few steps away, Chen Qingzhi called her and asked, "Niangniang, what should you do with this assassin?" ”

Concubine Xie looked back and stared at the eunuch viciously, with disgust and disgust in her eyes, as if she was scolding the eunuch for being a "useless waste", and then she gouged out Chen Qing's eyes, as if she hated him for ruining her good deeds.

"Escort to the Qiandian Hall and hand it over to Your Majesty!"

Xie Guifei said, and left without looking back, He Nushi passed by Chen Qingzhi, stopped and counted a game: "Lieutenant Chen is too unaware of the severity, seeing Niangniang falling into the water, you didn't go to save Niangniang as soon as possible, but ran to save the county lord of Shanyin first, could it be that in the eyes of Lieutenant Chen, Niangniang's life is not as good as the county lord of Shanyin?" ”

He Nushi is Xie Guifei's confidant, so she naturally breathed out of the same nostril with Xie Guifei, she complained that Chen Qingzhi didn't know the severity, but the strange thing in her heart was that Chen Qingzhi saved Xie Zheng.

Chen Qingzhi lowered his head and only said: "Female Shi Mowei, after all, it is the duty of the official to be in charge of the imperial city guards," the implication is that he only cares about arresting assassins, but he doesn't care about saving people.

He Nushi was annoyed and angry by his words, so she was so angry that she left with Xie Guifei.

Xie Zheng watched Xie Guifei and his party walk away, and heard that Xie Guifei instructed Chen Qingzhi to escort the eunuch to the Shiqian Hall and hand it over to Xiao Daocheng, she was suspicious again, this assassin was a dead soldier in the Linchuan Palace, and now he was captured alive by Chen Qingzhi, why hasn't he committed suicide until now? But Concubine Xie kept him alive again, could it be that she had other plans?

"County Lord? County Lord! ”

Seeing that Xie Zheng seemed to be distracted, Chen Qingzhi called twice in a row to pull back her thoughts.

Chen Qingzhi asked with a smile: "The county lord is not injured, right?" ”

"No," Xie Zheng said lightly, not impatient, and then thanked: "Shicai is really grateful to Lieutenant Chen for coming to the rescue." ”

"No need to say thank you," Chen Qingzhi seemed to be a little embarrassed, smiled at Xie Zheng, and asked again: "Last time I was on the outskirts of the city, I was really sorry for the county lord...... Didn't delay the county master's slave maid to see a doctor, right? ”

As soon as she mentioned the injury on Yuzhi's face, Xie Zheng felt quite irritable in her heart, but she didn't write the irritability on her face, but replied to him lightly: "No delay." ”

"The county lord has a ...... on his neck" Chen Qingzhi saw the scratches on Xie Zheng's neck, and asked more, Xie Zheng raised his hand and touched his neck, only glanced at him, but did not answer, Chen Qingzhi simply avoided this topic.

He has always been upright, and he didn't care if Xie Zheng had anything unspeakable, so he opened his mouth and asked: "This assassin just now wants to kill the county lord, why doesn't the county lord make a move?" ”

Xie Zheng's face sank, and he reprimanded coldly: "I'm a weak woman who has no power to restrain the chicken, what can I do!" Do you want to rush to the tip of the knife yourself? ”

After she said that, she immediately set off to the Shiqian Palace, Chen Qingzhi was so frightened by her that he didn't dare to say more, so he had to obediently escort the eunuch, hurriedly followed Xie Zheng's footsteps, and went to the Shiqian Hall together.

At that time, Xiao Daocheng was reviewing the recital, and when he heard that Chen Qingzhi and Xie Zheng were here, he summoned them to the palace again, but he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Chen Qingzhi escorting a eunuch in.

The two saluted, and Chen Qingzhi immediately said: "Your Majesty, Weichen was in Hualin Garden, and when he saw this eunuch holding a sword and trying to assassinate the county lord of Shanyin, he brought him here and asked His Majesty to send him down." ”

Xiao Daocheng was still angry about Xiao Yifu's matter, and now that he heard about such a thing, he was naturally even more angry, and he hurriedly asked: "Xie Zheng, can this matter be taken seriously?" ”

Xie Zheng raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Daocheng, then lowered his head again, and said, "Your Majesty, Wechen has never made enemies with anyone, and I don't know why this big internal official killed Wechen. ”

Hearing Xie Zheng talk about the feud, Xiao Daocheng remembered Xiao Yifu again, but this assassin was a eunuch in the palace, so he instinctively doubted whether this assassin was instructed by Xiao Yifu.

Xiao Daocheng walked down slowly, walked to the eunuch, looked at him kneeling on the ground condescendingly, and asked, "Who are you instructed by?" ”

The eunuch didn't answer, Xiao Daocheng was afraid that the eunuch would say that he was instructed by Xiao Yifu, so he immediately brushed his sleeves and said: "Come on, drag him down, and beat him to death with a stick!" ”

Chen Qingzhi and Xie Zheng were both stunned for a moment, Xiao Daocheng's handling was too hasty, Xie Zheng pondered for a while, seeing that he was in such a hurry to execute the assassin, could it be that he was shielding someone?

At this time, the eunuch pretended to be frightened and begged Xiao Daocheng for mercy: "Your Majesty spares your life...... Your Majesty spares your life! Slaves...... The slave maid was instructed by Princess Yixing...... The slave is under the command of Princess Yixing! ”

Everyone was stunned, Xie Zheng was dumbfounded, she expected it well, Concubine Xie kept this assassin alive, and she really had ulterior motives!

But she never expected that Concubine Xie would use her to calculate Xiao Yifu!

Now she understands everything, Xie Guifei is really a clever means, she first instigated Xiao Yifu to "catch the adulterer", made trouble in front of the holy car, let the two of them tie the beam, and then took her to Hualin Garden, while she was weak, sent someone to take her life, and then blamed Xiao Yifu, so as to kill two birds with one stone, both killed her and harmed Xiao Yifu.

It's a pity, her life, Xie Guifei didn't succeed, as for Xiao Yifu, heh, I'm afraid I won't be spared today!

"You...... What did you say? ”

Xiao Daocheng didn't seem to believe that it was really his daughter, he knew that his daughter was pampered on weekdays, and her temperament was a little more arrogant, but he would never allow such a method as killing people and killing people!

"The slave maid was instructed by Princess Yixing...... It was Princess Yixing who ordered the slave maid to kill the county lord of Shanyin......" The eunuch said and kowtowed heavily.

Xiao Daocheng's face was full of melancholy, Xie Zheng saw it, she thought that Xiao Daocheng was in a hurry to execute the eunuch, it was clear that she was shielding someone, now she knew, it turned out that he had already thought that this eunuch was instructed by Xiao Yifu.

He, a father, spoils his daughter, she knows, and a discerning person can see it, no matter how big a mistake Xiao Yifu has made or how many outrageous things he has done, he has never been guilty, even if he is guilty of such a mistake today, he is just beating and scolding in front of people, but he can send people to commit murder in the palace, but he has to be punished for his crime.

Xiao Daocheng turned his back to everyone, sighed secretly, and finally spoke: "Come on, summon Princess Yixing to the palace!" ”
