Zhao Gao shook his head when he heard this, and said: "The old minister doesn't dare, it's just that my Zhao family only has this one son and grandson, and once he dies, there will be no successor to the Zhao family." The old minister is really ashamed of his ancestors and ancestors. ”

"Enough! Say no more! Take your handsome seal back! There is no turning around this matter! Mu Yao suddenly raised his voice and said angrily. He was also a little panicked, if Zhao Gao's father and son really resigned, it would be a real catastrophe for the Great Yue Dynasty.

"Your Majesty!" Zhao Gao was angry when he heard this, and the early winter was cold, and he was sweating.

Mu Yao stood up slowly on the table, walked slowly towards Zhao Gao, and as soon as he grabbed Zhao Gao's hand, Mu Yao gritted his teeth in a low voice and said, "Old general, I also have a lot of helplessness!" ”

The two of them clasped hands together, and the force was terrifying. The four eyes met, and after a long time, Zhao Gao gritted his teeth and let go.

"Your Majesty, can you allow the old minister to see you again?" He asked weakly, knowing full well that there was no room for turning the matter around. He has no evidence to prove Zhao Bingye's innocence, and it is not easy to save him.

"Accurate!"

……

In the past two days, the royal city and the palace have been in trouble because of Zhao Bingye's murder, but there is a place in the palace that seems to be exceptionally quiet and peaceful. Xuanyue has to get sick every early winter, although it is fake, he will honestly stay in the Sleeping Moon Palace to "recuperate". If it weren't for that, how could he have survived so many years.

Mama Xu came up with the freshly brewed tea, and the two sat opposite each other, as if mother and son were gossiping.

Mama Xu poured a cup of hot tea for Xuanyue and handed it over, saying, "The old slave also just learned that something big had happened in the royal city in the past two days. ”

Hearing this, Xuan Yue was also interested, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?" ”

Mianyue Palace is located in the middle of nowhere, and few palace people are willing to come over on weekdays, if they don't go out, they can basically be regarded as isolated from the world, and naturally they don't know what is happening outside.

"I heard that it was Zhao Xiaogongzi from the General's Mansion who killed someone, and he made trouble in front of His Majesty. The people's grievances were indignant, and hundreds of officials jointly played, forcing His Majesty to order the beheading of Zhao Xiaogongzi the day after tomorrow. Mama Xu lowered her voice, shook her head again, and said regretfully: "It's a pity, what kind of person is Zhao Xiaogongzi, he lost his life in vain." ”

Xuan Yue was shocked in her heart, and the hand holding the cup paused.

"Zhao Bingye?" He asked, somewhat uncertain.

"That's right, General Zhao Gao is still pleading in the imperial study, but His Majesty has not opened the net. This matter is a big trouble, even if His Majesty is deliberately partial, and there is no way. Mama Xu nodded and said, her eyes full of sighs.

Xuan Yue frowned slightly, and said, "What is the secret of Zhao Bingye's murder?" How did the verdict come so quickly? ”

Xuan Yue was a little puzzled, and took 10,000 steps back to say, even if Zhao Bingye really killed someone, Mu Yao would not have ordered him to be executed so soon.

Mama Xu stretched out her head to look out the window, and then approached Xuanyue, and said mysteriously: "The three Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War joined forces with Dali Siqing to play together, asking for justice for the deceased." His Majesty was also forced to be helpless, and the people who were shouting grievances had already gathered at the gate of the palace. ”

Xuan Yue's heart tightened when she heard this, her brows were deeply locked, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Seeing that Xuanyue looked a little nervous, Mama Xu said again: "But this matter has nothing to do with us, it's just that I pity that Miss Zhao family, a person with a lot of water, has been tortured so hard that she can't look like it." ”

"What? Miss Zhao Family! What's wrong with her? Xuan Yue panicked, grabbed Mama Xu's hand and asked anxiously.

Mama Xu was stunned for a moment, and said with a puzzled face: "Miss Zhao is kneeling at the gate of the palace now, saying that she is asking to see the prince." When I came back, I listened to it twice, probably because the queen intended to marry last time, but Miss Zhao refused, and now she agreed to this marriage, and wanted to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to save Zhao Xiaogongzi's life, but it's a pity that ......"

Xuan Yue didn't hear the words clearly, he got up and ran out. Mama Xu was also stunned, and hurriedly chased out.

Now that the palace is in an eventful time, if Xuan Yue intervenes at this time, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not arouse the suspicion of the queen, and at that time, his efforts over the years will be in vain.

Xuanyue ignored Mama Xu's obstruction, and went straight to the gate of the palace, and saw Zhao Qianqian kneeling there in red clothes. Xuanqing shook a folding fan and stood in front of her.

"Miss Zhao, the wrong thing your brother has committed, this hall is really powerless. You'd better go back. Xuanqing looked at Zhao Qianqian and said with some embarrassment, last time Zhao Qianqian dared to reject his mind in front of everyone, and now she wants to use this in exchange to save her brother's life, it is simply wishful thinking, what do you think of him as a prince!

Zhao Qianqian burst into tears when she heard this, bowed her head a few times, and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I beg you, as long as you are willing to intercede for my brother, the courtiers can promise you anything." ”

She also cares about chaos and loses her square inch. Now that the entire General's Mansion has become a mess, she really doesn't know what she can do, this is the only way she can think of.

Xuanqing is the crown prince, if he is willing to ask for a favor for Zhao Bingye, maybe things will take a turn for the better.

Xuanqing didn't understand what she meant, waved his hand, and said, "Miss Zhao, please go back, this hall is really powerless in this matter." After that, he didn't care about Zhao Qianqian's plea, turned around and left.

Zhao Qianqian cried when she saw this, but was stopped and pushed away by the guards at the palace gate, her red dress fell to ashes, and she was extremely embarrassed and sarcastic.

Seeing Xuanqing coming in, Mama Xu hurriedly pulled Xuanyue to the side. It wasn't until he walked away that he breathed a sigh of relief and said anxiously: "Your Highness, let's go back first." If it is seen by the queen's mother, I am afraid that it will be extraneous. ”

Xuan Yue turned a deaf ear, he stared at the girl sitting at the gate of the palace, and an inexplicable anger welled up in his heart for no reason.

"Miss Zhao is too shameless, is she wearing this red dress to come to the gate of the palace to force His Royal Highness the Prince? How can she do such a thing, where did she put her daughter's face in the face! ”

"Yes! But she didn't want to think about it, now that the reputation of the General's Mansion was ruined, how could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince take a fancy to her. I think that at the beginning, she was very high-spirited and rejected His Royal Highness the Prince, but now she is coming back to beg for it, tsk......"

"She has a good calculation, her brother did such a thing, and His Majesty issued a holy decree to be executed, who dares to plead? It's stupid! ”

“……”

The chattering at the gate of the palace rose one after another, and the more those people talked, the more excessive, the more their emotions became more and more intense. I don't know where they found the rotten vegetable leaves, and they all threw them all at Zhao Qianqian.

Everyone shouted and beaten, I'm afraid that's what it looks like.

Zhao Qianqian sat on the ground weakly, she couldn't care about what the people around her were saying, thinking that Zhao Bingye would be beheaded the day after tomorrow, her heart was completely cold.

Xuan Yue watched, her hands clenched unconsciously, and a ruthless look flashed on Qingjun's face, which Mama Xu had never seen before. She was stunned for a moment, and gently pulled Xuanyue.

"Your Highness, let's go. The land of right and wrong should not be stayed for a long time. She persuaded her in a little hurry, she didn't care about the general's mansion at all, she only cared about Xuanyue's life or death.

As if she hadn't heard, Xuan Yue broke free from her, walked straight towards the palace gate, and shouted angrily at the guards guarding the door: "The palace is important, how can people be so presumptuous." Are you all dead? ”

The guards looked at each other when they heard this, but in the end, they still cared about Xuan Yue's identity, stepped forward one by one, and pretended to block it, but it had no effect.

Xuan Yue also knew that they didn't take themselves seriously, so she didn't say anything more, walked to Zhao Qianqian's side and squatted down, and took off her cloak to cover her petite body.

"Miss Zhao, let's go back first." Xuan Yue said in a low voice, Zhao Qianqian raised her head woodenly when she heard this, and looked at him with a dull gaze. The eyes that are bright and smart on weekdays are as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

Her pale and bloodless thin lips opened slightly, and she said weakly: "Your Highness, I ......"

"I'll send you back."

Zhao Qianqian's words were interrupted by Xuan Yue before he finished speaking, he bent down, and in the midst of everyone's insulting and angry eyes, he picked up Zhao Qianqian, gritted his teeth, his eyes were firm, and he walked forward without looking back.

Mama Xu stood behind the palace gate, her eyes rolled in fright when she saw this scene, and she wanted to chase it out, but she was afraid of extraneous branches, so she weighed it left and right, and decided to stay in the palace and wait for Xuanyue to come back.

When Zhao Qianqian was sent back to the General's Mansion, Gu Jiuge and the others were crazy looking for her, and when they saw that it was Xuanyue who sent her back, they were also stunned for a moment. Xu took Zhao Qianqian and settled her down, while Gu Jiuge and Mu Liang accompanied Xuanyue in the main hall.

"Thank you, Your Highness Five, for sending Qian'er back." Gu Jiu Ge thanked him and invited him to sit down.

Xuan Yue shook her head and hesitated for a long time, then she looked at Gu Jiu Ge and said, "I have also heard about Zhao Gongzi, there must be a secret in this, and you still need nine ...... The eldest lady will check as soon as possible. ”

He originally wanted to call her Jiuge, but suddenly thought that she was now Mu Liang's unfinished wife, which was not suitable for reason, so he changed his words.

Gu Jiuge breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said, "It's only been one day, and to be honest, I don't have a clue now." ”

She didn't want to find evidence as soon as possible to clear Zhao Bingye's suspicions, but Lin Luoshi kept silent, biting that set of rhetoric, she didn't know where to start.

Xuan Yue's eyebrows frowned slightly, her slender index finger was slightly curved, and she knocked on the table. Gu Jiuge saw that he seemed to have something to say, so he ordered everyone in the house to retreat, and only the three of him were left, Gu Jiuge asked, "What does Your Highness have to say?" ”

"Today, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War Shangshu joined forces with Dali Siqing to play together, pleading for the execution of Zhao Gongzi. There were four of them, and they all worked for one. At this point, Xuan Yue didn't say anything more.

He believed that with Gu Jiuge's intelligence, he would definitely be able to understand the deep meaning.

Sending Xuanyue away, Gu Jiuge sat there and didn't come to his senses for a long time.

After a long time, she raised her head suddenly, but Mu Liang took the first step to speak.

"All four of them work for the queen."
