Chapter 499: Resisting Death and Not Admitting It

The dog you raise yourself, whether you bite or not, you know it.

Zhao Wenlu did those things outside, the old emperor didn't know, but the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, sometimes as long as it did not shake the foundation of the country too much, the old emperor turned one eye open and closed one eye.

But this time, Zhao Wenlu's crimes are really too numerous to mention.

The southern rebellion, the cholera country, Zhao Wenlu wants to seize it, and listen to Boss Kong's meaning, Zhao Wenlu has been operating weapons in his hands, but the whereabouts of these weapons are unknown.

This made the old emperor's heart very worried.

Nalan Jin looked at the old emperor's appearance, and also knew that with the old emperor's pigtails, Dongfang Yi's life in the court would not be easy in the future.

After all, the emperor is not threatened by anything.

"Please atone for the emperor's sins, the minister has been busy investigating recently, and it seems that he is suffering from an ear disease, I don't know if this boss Kong has been recruited?" Dongfang Yi covered his ears, his expression was very painful.

"I still have something to do, I'll hear it later, you've been working hard lately, since you're not feeling well, go back and rest early." The old emperor stared at Dongfang Yi for most of the day, knowing that he was deliberately telling his head.

Since they both know each other, there is no need to pierce this layer of window paper, it should be to give each other a step.

"The minister retired."

Dongfang Yi leaned over slightly, Nalan Jin wanted to hear Boss Kong tell Zhao Wenlu's crimes one by one, and let the old emperor know that the person who raised tigers around him was his prince.

However, seeing Dongfang Yi's eyes, Nalan Jin forcibly suppressed the curiosity in his heart, saluted the old emperor, and left the palace.

The people who had been monitoring outside the palace saw Nalan Jin and Dongfang Yi leaving the palace unharmed, and they knew that things had changed, and hurriedly went back to tell Zhao Wenlu non-stop.

The two of them sat in the carriage, their faces depressed, each with their own plans.

Nalan Jin finally couldn't help the doubts in her heart, "Why didn't you let the emperor severely punish the third prince just now, it was clear that he framed you, why did you let him go?" ”

"The evidence is conclusive, and there are witnesses, why do you think the emperor didn't make a decision?" Dongfang Yi frowned tightly.

"Could it be ......" Nalan Jin seemed to think.

"The emperor is the king of a country, and he is also a father while controlling the world, and the behavior of the three princes, he is not unaware, but he did not cause a big disaster, he turned a blind eye and passed." Dongfang Yi took a deep breath and analyzed the old emperor's thoughts.

"Is that all? Let the three princes do whatever they want? Nalan Jin was not convinced.

"I'm worried now, if we know the emperor's intention to protect the three princes, will it affect Nalan Mansion."

Dongfang Yi was worried, and he didn't have the heart to ask Zhao Wenlu at the moment. The so-called monarch wants his ministers to die, in case the old emperor casually finds an excuse to ask Nalan Mansion about it, he will be speechless at that time.

After listening to Dongfang Yi's analysis, Nalan Jin knew the seriousness of the matter, it turned out that he stopped her just now to ask questions, to protect her and protect Nalan Mansion.

Nalan Jin's heart was warm, the corners of her mouth were hooked, she held Dongfang Yi's arm, and slowly aged on his shoulder, as if to tell him that no matter what happened, she would accompany him and be with him through thick and thin.

Seeing that Dongfang Yidu had been to the restaurant for a long time and had not come back, and had not even received any notice from Peony, Shen Caiyi was a little uneasy, worried that something would happen, so he wanted to go and see the specific situation.

But on the way there, Shen Caiyi had a lot of situations, either something that fell from a high-rise building almost hit her, or a thief who grabbed something appeared halfway and stirred her indiscriminately.

"What the hell is going on with you, is a person like me a thief? And if you repair the plaque, pay attention to it, can you afford to smash it? Shen Caiyi angrily taught the people in front of him, and kept patting the dust on his body, with special disgust in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, if you don't come in and wait, we'll accompany you with a new one." The repairer was ashamed.

After a few words, he dragged Shen Caiyi into the store.

Shen Caiyi felt that these people were acting strangely, and they clearly deliberately wanted to keep her and delay time, which made her even more sure that Dongfang Yi had an accident in the restaurant.

"No need."

Shen Caiyi rushed out of the crowd, and when he finally arrived at the restaurant with great twists and turns along the way, he found that the building was already empty.

The plan routine that Peony said before is like the sea after a storm here, there is no trace at all, and everything has been settled.

"What about people? What about the people here? Shen Cai grabbed Xiao Er in a hurry and asked.

"Who? We have a lot of people here every day. Xiao Er looked dazed.

"What about the people upstairs just now, the people who were captured by the officers and soldiers?" Shen Caiyi frantically grabbed the shopkeeper and pointed upstairs and asked.

"Are you mistaken, we don't have any officers and soldiers here, and there are no people who have been captured, please let go and don't disturb our business, otherwise we will only have to report to the officials." The shopkeeper struggled and looked at Shen Caiyi innocently.

"Say, did someone tell you to say that, didn't you?" Shen Caiyi was worried about Dongfang Yi's comfort, and the whole person was out of proportion.

"I don't really know anything."

No matter how Shen Caiyi asked, the shopkeeper always didn't know, otherwise he would threaten to report to the official.

This matter is very important, and it can't be extraneous, Shen Caiyi can only suffer a dumb loss by herself, and angrily pushes the shopkeeper to find it somewhere else.

Beforehand, the people in the store had been arranged by Zhao Wenlu clearly, no matter who asked, they were tight-lipped and nothing happened.

Shen Caiyi asked around the restaurant again, but still found nothing, she felt that something was wrong, and the bell had to be tied to the bell.

She felt that she was being used by Peony's calculations, so she angrily went to Peony to ask for clarification.

Zhao Wenlu learned that Boss Kong was caught by the old emperor, and he was worried about sitting on pins and needles in the mansion, and the whole mansion did not dare to speak easily, for fear that his breath would anger Zhao Wenlu.

"A bunch of waste, this king is finished, you just wait for the burial." Zhao Wenlu picked up the teacup and slammed it to the ground.

"The prince is angry." The butler persuaded from the sidelines.

"It's just that you are a useless thing, how can you guarantee it in front of this king, you can't send away the dead, even the living can't look at it, and you dare to appear in front of this king, come to someone, pull it out and cut it!" Zhao Wenlu angrily pointed to the housekeeper for a lesson.

As soon as he gave the order, the housekeeper quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy in fright, and his head was broken, "The prince spares his life, spare his life." ”

When the housekeeper begged Zhao Wenlu, his eyes kept looking at the peony, hoping to fight for a greater chance to live.

Even if there is no housekeeper's plea, Peony will help Zhao Wenlu, her revenge has not been avenged, Nalan Jin is still jumping around with Dongfang Yi, happy together, she will never allow Zhao Wenlu, the backer, to have anything to do.

"Master, calm your anger, since things are already like this, even if you kill the housekeeper, it won't help, but let others catch the handle, saying that the prince is a thief with a weak heart and is eager to kill people and kill people." Peony comforted Zhao Wenlu softly.

gave the housekeeper a look and asked him to get up and pour tea for Zhao Wenlu, which was considered to be a mistake.

Zhao Wenlu glared at the housekeeper viciously, but his anger seemed to have subsided a lot, "What else can this king do now?" It's all because they don't do things well. ”

"In fact, the emperor has not acted for so long, which means that we still have a chance, and our house lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of scapegoats." Peony whispered in Zhao Wenlu's ear.

Zhao Wenlu suddenly became cheerful, and seemed to suddenly appear in a dead end, "What do you mean......"

"The master personally went to ask for the guilt, explained the truth of the matter, and took a step back and made a comeback." Peony is delicate and delicate.

Zhao Wenlu's face suddenly turned from anger to joy, and he couldn't help laughing when he looked at the peony.

The housekeeper quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and his head was safely rested on his neck for the time being.

Peony killed two birds with one stone, gained Zhao Wenlu's dependence, and got the gratitude of the housekeeper, opening up another way for his future.

Back in the house, the more Nalan Jin thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, Boss Kong was introduced by Shen Caiyi for nothing, and he was so coincidentally pointed out.

"Dongfang, don't you think this thing is weird?" Nalan Jin frowned and asked suddenly.

"The third prince has been targeting us all along, and it's no surprise anymore." Dongfang Yi's unnatural hand paused, and then returned in disguise.

"You know I'm not talking about the Third Prince, it's Shen Caiyi who went to see Boss Kong, don't tell me you don't have any suspicions." Nalan Jin looked directly at Dongfang Yi, feeling very uncomfortable.

In this kind of crisis, Dongfang Yi still avoids Shen Caiyi's question intentionally or unintentionally.

"I know you're talking about her, and I'm suspicious, but I'd rather believe that it's not her, otherwise there are people like her in Nalan Mansion, I don't know how many there are, I'm really worried, we can't guard against the dark places." Dongfang Yi was nervous about Nalan Jin, but he was helpless.

"We don't know exactly how much, but now ......" Nalan Jin felt a little awkward in her heart, she turned around and didn't let Dongfang Yi see the emotion on her face.

"I'll send someone to secretly investigate the people who come into contact with Caiyi, don't worry, I'll always have you in my heart." Dongfang Yi hugged Nalan Jin and comforted her, as if she knew her inner physiognomy.

Nalan Jin leaned on Dongfang Yi's arms and closed her eyes shallowly.

Things must be solved, not to mention that they must also give an explanation to the civil and military officials, and the old emperor ordered Zhao Wenlu to be summoned into the palace.

"I received news that the three rings are selfishly making weapons, but is there such a thing?" The old emperor inquired in front of hundreds of officials to show justice.

"Back to my father, my son's minister was about to talk about it, and my son-in-law was wronged." Zhao Wenlu refused to admit it, "It was all done by the people in the Erchen Mansion, and I have already caught them." ”

Zhao Wenlu pushed everything away, but with the testimony of Boss Kong, the old emperor began to be suspicious.
