Chapter 21: The Assassination of the East Palace

Shangshu Mansion.

Cao Wei squinted and lay on the couch chair, and he shook a folding fan in his hand. It's just that this fan looks weird, much larger than the ordinary fan, the fan handle is made of Xiangfei bamboo, and the fan surface seems to be a good brocade silk, which is exceptionally smooth and delicate. The painting on it is not fish, insects and animals, let alone landscapes and pastorals.

Instead, he painted a black jade that was the size and shape of a human eye.

Cao Wei looked at it with satisfaction, raised the folding fan and said, "This human leather fan is indeed more in line with my liking than an ordinary fan." ”

The man behind him slowly paced to him and said lightly, "Except for his secret guards so casually, you are not afraid that the Nine Emperor Princes of Xiliang will kill you?" ”

"Hahaha......"

Cao Weilian shook his fan and laughed loudly, "Your Highness, I really don't know?" ”

"The Nine Emperors? It's ridiculous, but it's just the son of a prostitute. He squinted and lay down, but the light in his eyes was not weak, and he didn't get up, "Today, I borrowed his hand to separate the old thing of the prince and Qiao Liangsong, isn't it also to pave the way for you, Your Highness?" ”

The man looked at him, his eyes fluttering, and finally he stopped talking.

Just when there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the courtyard gate, there was a knock on the door.

Cao Wei nodded leisurely to the man and motioned for him to leave.

The air seemed to be silent for a moment, and the man's finger bones behind him turned white, but his face still walked away lightly.

"Come in."

The human skin folding fan swayed and waved, and the black jade on the fan surface was like a human eye, looking at all this without blinking.

It was the housekeeper of Shangshu Mansion who came in, and his face was so anxious that he didn't even have time to bow to Cao Wei.

"My lord, someone has come to the palace, urging you to go!"

-

When the news of the assassination of Donggong reached the Jingguo Mansion, it was lunch time.

Qi was so angry with the second master that he hadn't eased up, and as soon as Fang entered the dining room, he saw Aunt Xu pouring tea for the second master gently.

"!"

She was so angry that she trembled again, and threw the teacup in her hand, but Aunt Xu couldn't dodge, and the teacup was thrown on her forehead, and fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces.

"Vixen!" The second old man helped Aunt Xu, who was about to faint, and was also so angry that she smoked, "I'm going to divorce you!" Shrew! ”

Hearing his words, Qi Shi's tears fell, and he sat down on the ground softly, "You divorced me!" I shouldn't have married you! Don't be greedy for your sweet words! ”

The third lady Qu and the third master glanced at each other, and after gently bowing their heads with the Zhou family, they quietly retreated with Qiao Yu.

"Enough!" Zhou witnessed all this, and seeing that Qi began to cry like a splash, she said loudly, "Mama Li, don't help the second lady down quickly." ”

Mama Li said, "Yes, yes." ”

The second old man looked at the figure of Qi crying and walking away, so he helped Aunt Xu back to his study, and ordered someone to invite the doctor to come.

"Sister-in-law smiled...... The second old man stared at his face, looking like he had no intention of eating, and he said again, "Big brother this time...... Donggong means to protect the eldest brother, and the sister-in-law can rest assured. ”

As soon as the words fell, the butler's voice came from the courtyard gate, "The eldest lady, the second master, there is a message from the palace!" ”

"It was said that Donggong was assassinated!"

Qiao Mei raised her head suddenly, her hand curled up inadvertently, Zhou saw her thoughts, and couldn't help patting her hand.

The second master frowned and asked, "Did you say that the prince was wrong?" ”

"The slave doesn't know, maybe it's not good......"

Hearing this, Qiao Mei's heart was in a trance.

How can it be? How is that possible?

Xie Huaijin was not assassinated in his previous life! Could it be that because of her changes, Xie Huaijin's death was advanced?

The butler wanted to say something.

There was another noise outside, and the neat sound of armor colliding made Zhou's face turn white all of a sudden, "What's wrong outside?" ”

The housekeeper made a bitter face, "Big lady, that is the forbidden army sent by the palace, and now it has surrounded our mansion, what can I do!" ”

……

The refreshing aroma slowly emanated from the incense burning table in the dark corner, gradually filling the entire hall. The vermilion door of the temple was hidden, and a shadow of light cast a shadow on the jade-colored brick slab through the gap.

On the throne, Emperor Zhaoren was holding the pen and reviewing the folds, and Ah Hai held a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup and put it lightly on the corner of the table.

Drawing a touch of vermilion, Emperor Zhaoren put his pen down heavily, and when he saw the bowl of soup, Ah Hai bowed down and explained with a smile, "It was sent by Concubine Shuniang, and when Niangniang saw that you were busy, she asked the slave to send it in." ”

Emperor Zhaoren nodded, "Concubine Shu has a heart," he paused again, his eyes were cold, "General Dingguo and the others are here?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the servants have sent a fast horse to the mansion of the adults, maybe they are on the way."

Saying that, the attendant guarding the door outside the palace gate came in and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, Cao Shangshu has arrived." ”

"Let him in."

Cao Wei was already wearing a first-class official court uniform, wearing a black gauze hat and black official boots, and as soon as he entered the door, he bowed his head.

"Your Majestyβ€”"

Outside, there was a voice from the inner attendant: "Your Majesty, the general of Dingguo and the servants of the Ministry of Rites ask to see you." ”

"Call them in."

As if deliberately ignoring Cao Wei, Emperor Zhaoren flipped through another book and carefully looked at the contents inside. A moment later, he suddenly raised his hand and threw it down.

With a "snap", Cao Wei looked down, and his eyes began to glow with a hint of vigilance.

"Let's get up and see." Emperor Zhaoren did not raise his head, and the pen in his hand was dyed with cinnabar and added to a scroll.

When all the ministers outside came in, they all saluted, but they all looked at the scene in front of them in confusion.

After a long time, after reading the fold at a glance, Cao Wei had a little sweat on his forehead, he knelt down again, made a big salute, and lay his head on the white jade floor tiles for a long time without raising it.

This is a copy of the pleadings.

Just like the charges he told Jingguo a few days ago, what he did in the past two days is like a treasure......

"Your Majesty!"

"The minister has indeed done nothing to write above......" he snorted a few more times and argued loudly, "Please also ask Your Majesty to be clear!" ”

Ah Hai got Emperor Zhaoren's will, and directly interrupted him, "Bring witnesses-"
