But Lord Cheng was ready to die in case the emperor's brain had a convulsion.

He was not originally a stubborn person who didn't know the times, but now he didn't mention that he had evidence in hand, if he couldn't let Ning Tong subdue to the law, he was really unwilling, just one point - in order to find out about the case, he had obviously completely offended Ning Tong to death.

If Ning Tong doesn't fall this time, then he can only die!

Therefore, he had no choice but to fight to the end.

At present, Cheng Ran only hopes that the emperor's brain circuit can be clearer...... After all, it was the emperor's order to ask him to go to Ning's house to search last night!

If he dies this time, he will really be killed by the emperor!

I hope he won't become the first minister in Dajing to be killed by the emperor.

Well, whether it's the first place or not, it's really hard to say.

Cheng Ran was so nervous that his thoughts were in a trance.

After a long time, Emperor Zhaofeng finally opened his mouth.

“…… Go get someone. ”

Emperor Zhaofeng's tone could be called calm, but it made Cheng Ran excited, and his spirit was greatly lifted, and he immediately shouted: "The emperor is wise!" ”

Emperor Zhaofeng waved his hand weakly.

Okay, stop licking.

"Go ahead."

"Minister, obey!" Cheng Ran's voice will be sonorous.

After he withdrew from the inner hall, he left the Qianqing Palace like a breeze under his feet.

But outside the Qianqing Palace, he met Ning Guifei, who was hugged by a group of palace maids and eunuchs.

Cheng Ran avoided to the side and bowed his head to salute.

Concubine Ning stopped in front of him and sneered: "Lord Cheng is really a thunderbolt method, but it has made the palace informed." ”

"It's just an errand for the emperor, and the emperor's orders, Weichen can only do it."

It is impossible to reply, after all, without this courage, it is the best policy to slip to the emperor and throw the pot.

These words just poked at Ning Guifei's sore spot, she immediately gritted her teeth and snorted coldly, flicked her sleeves, and strode into the Qianqing Palace.

"Concubine Niangniang, the emperor has just rested."

The eunuch stopped the people outside the temple.

"Just rested? At this hour, you told the palace that the emperor had just rested? Ning Guifei only felt that she had heard a big joke: "Get out, this palace has to go in and take a look!" ”

"Mother, this really can't be ......"

When the eunuch was unable to respond, Liu Fu walked out of the inner hall.

"As soon as the emperor fell asleep, you shouted here, and you couldn't lose your head if you wanted to!" Liu Fu lowered his voice and reprimanded the eunuch.

"The minions don't dare." The eunuch bowed his head in fear.

Ning Guifei's eyes seemed to be on fire.

This dead eunuch is clearly referring to Sang scolding Huai!

"Concubine Niangniang." Liu Fuxi saw her at this time, saluted, and said, "The emperor has eaten breakfast, he is sleepy, and he has rested, you might as well come back later." ”

"Not necessarily!"

Ning Guifei said coldly: "The palace is waiting here, when will the emperor wake up, and I will pass it on to my father-in-law Liu!" ”

She wanted to see how long the emperor could sleep and whether she wanted to summon others.

Liu Fu didn't persuade him anymore, and after responding, he returned to the palace.

Ning Guifei waited until noon, standing with a sore back and legs, and feeling anxious.

And there was no movement in the temple from beginning to end.

At this time, a palace maid came from Changchun Palace and whispered a word in Ning Guifei's ear.

Ning Guifei's expression changed greatly when she heard this.

Her brother was arrested and imprisoned!

Without the emperor's will, how dare Cheng Ran?

Concubine Ning immediately thought of the situation when she came to meet Cheng Ran outside the Qianqing Palace-

I thought that Cheng Ran was just here to do something, but who knew that the emperor had issued an order to arrest her brother!

No wonder the emperor didn't dare to see her!

Concubine Ning was about to rush into the palace immediately, but she was dissuaded by the palace maid who came to pass the word: "Niangniang must not act impulsively, now Lord Ning is just being detained and imprisoned, such a big case, if you really want to be convicted, it will be played by the criminal department, and finally approved by the emperor......"

In other words, there is no rush for a while.

If you annoy the emperor because of this, it will not be good.

Ning Guifei settled down, hesitated for a moment, and finally left the Qianqing Palace.

Maybe the emperor just had to do this because there was too much talk outside now, after all, many fools are now blaming her brother for natural disasters-

But the emperor's mind only contained those gods and ghosts, and if she messed with him at this time, it would be counterproductive.

So, as long as a rain falls, this rumor can be dispelled!

At that time, it will be much easier for her to beg the emperor again.

As for the elder brother, let him stay in prison for a few days for a while, which will also allow him to have a long memory and be more cautious in his actions in the future.

Ning Guifei made up her mind in her heart, so she ordered: "Send someone to try to go to the Ning family to spread the word, so that they don't have to panic, and say that this matter is the palace's own plan." ”

But then, the development of events was far beyond her expectations.

First of all, not long after she left the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Zhaofeng summoned the great masters into the palace.

A secret conversation lasted nearly two hours.

When Jixiao left the palace, the sun had already set towards the western mountain.

Tomorrow is the day when the Great Yongchang Temple is consecrated.

When the sky was about to get dark, news suddenly spread in the city.

Dayongchang Temple wants to release the one hundred and eighty-one young girls who were originally scheduled to be sacrificed to the sky-

The capital, which had not calmed down all day, exploded at this time, and many statements and speculations covered one layer after another.

Lots of people flocked to the temple to pick up their children and take them home.

"It must be a rumor...... The Great Yongchang Temple is about to open tomorrow, how can it be released for no reason! ”

"That is, is it possible not to sacrifice to the sky and not to ask for rain?"

"How can this work?"

"If the drought continues, people won't be able to survive......"

These days, they have regarded tomorrow's ritual of worshipping the heavens as the most important support, and now something suddenly happened, and they only felt that the sky was about to fall.

There were many discussions, and many people followed them to the Great Yongchang Temple, wanting to find out, and they wanted to confirm with their own eyes that the release was just a rumor.

But the fact is that those who arrived first have already left the monastery with their children.

"Can't go!"

Some of the agitated people even stepped forward to stop them.

"They're gone, how can they sacrifice to the sky!"

"How can you miss the big thing of asking for rain because of a moment of soft-heartedness!"

Those people who had just seen the child and only felt that they had been lost and found it finally couldn't help but change their faces when they heard this, and the two sides quarreled, and some people even moved.

At this time, a group of warrior monks walked out quickly.

Under their shock, a group of people quieted down.

Zhang Fu walked in front of the people, recited a Buddha sentence to everyone, and explained: "Don't be impatient, release people today, it is a decision made by the great master after re-calculating and deducing - tomorrow's ceremony to worship the heavens will still be held as usual." ”

"Without the sacrifice, how can it be held as usual!" Someone dared to ask.

Zhang Fu's expression was calm, and he replied slowly: "There is nothing to leak about the secret of heaven. ”

Heavenly Machine?

Everyone looked at each other.

Zhang Fu had turned around and returned to the temple.

"Mage, please stay!"

A figure hurried after him.
