Chapter 242: The Regent and the Puppet
Baili Ye Su, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, stood under the north wind of Xiao Xiao, his clothes flew over, overlooking the unobstructed hundred miles of rivers and mountains under the building, and his index finger tapped the green jade wrench on his thumb. Every detail from head to toe shows his identity at this moment, and he is no longer the down-and-out person he first saw in the prison of Qingyun Mountain.
His faint eyes stared at the distant horizon, and without looking back, he asked, "Have they been dealt with?" ”
Rong Xiu stood behind him in a brocade robe: "Everyone in Jingzhong who is involved in Baili Yeqing and Fang Xuan'en has been imprisoned in the prison to wait for the fall, and the body of the prince has been violently corpsed at the entrance of the vegetable market for five days, although there has been chaos in Jingzhong for a while, but it has stabilized in the past few days." ”
"Again", he looked over Baili Yesu's shoulder, and his burning gaze also looked into the distance: "As we planned in advance, the ministers and others who sent someone to arrest Fang Xuanen and his party that day had quietly released the news. When Fang Xuanen's old fox heard the news that he was going to arrest him, he immediately disguised himself and left Beijing quickly, and when he left, he did not forget to sell all the evidence hidden in the old mansion over the years. But your Majesty, you can rest assured, now Pan Shu is secretly following behind him with people, and the evidence in his old mansion has also been retained one by one by the people arranged by the ministers in advance. ”
Baili Ye Su bowed slightly: "Okay", the corners of his mouth tugged: "I have long known that Fang Xuanen, that old fox, has made so much effort that it is impossible to make wedding dresses for others, thinking that when he assisted his father and emperor, he had swallowed a huge amount of taxes and silver, and after I secretly found out, he actually sent a killer to ambush me in Nanling, assassinated me, and put Gu poison on me." He did a lot of calculations, but he didn't expect that at the same time, there were also bandits from Qingyun Mountain, who brought me back to Qingyun Mountain, although they also took a fancy to my identity and wanted to use it, but I have to say that it was a mistake that saved my life! ”
He exhaled a long breath, his eyes shining: "After being imprisoned in Qingyun Mountain for so many years, I have suffered a lot of physical and mental torture, and I have gritted my teeth and persevered. Heh, Fang Xuanen probably wouldn't have thought that I would come back alive one day! ”
Rong Xiu stood beside him quietly, as if he was a green pine: "The reason why Fang Xuanen let Fang Yuling marry the Second Highness back then was just because he fell in love with the Second Highness's status as the prince at that time, and later after the Second Highness fell out of favor in front of the first emperor, he began to look for a new replacement, so he chose the Fifth Highness who had some political achievements but had no scheming and no ambitions." In order to help the Fifth Highness seize the throne, be the regent of this hundred miles himself, and turn the Fifth Highness into a puppet! ”
"It's just", the corner of his mouth pulled sarcastically: "No matter how cunning Fang Xuanen is, he didn't expect that His Royal Highness didn't want to be a puppet that could be manipulated by others. Moreover, he couldn't wait to do it step by step according to Fang Xuanen's arrangement, he had long wanted to take the throne in his pocket at once, without being at the mercy of others, so he had a series of things such as assassinating the former emperor to buy the prince and frame the ministers. In the final analysis, Fang Xuanen and His Royal Highness Fifth Highness are in a relationship of mutual use and mutual suspicion. It's just that His Royal Highness has never been able to change his fatal weakness, which has led to the fact that he is now in prison, and the matter of bringing Fang Xuanen to the end has also been exposed. ”
Baili Ye Su clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes were heavy: "I must catch Fang Xuanen and avenge myself and my father!" ”
They turned around: "Where are they tracking now?" ”
Rong Xiu pursed his lower lip: "When I received the news this morning, I had already arrived in Longzhong, and I will be on the edge of the South China Sea in a day or two." Judging from the letters between Fang Xuanen and Nanhai that he intercepted in advance, he has a good chance of it. Nine is according to our expectations, generally defected to the South China Sea. ”
Baili Ye Su stretched out his hand and clenched his fists, and coughed lightly: "Well, pay close attention to the action, and report it as soon as there is news!" ”
Rong Xiu nodded solemnly.
Yan Xiaoyi, who always stood behind the two, listened to the conversation between the two of them, and finally smoothed out the relationship during this period!
It turned out that the reason why Baili Yesu was killed in Nanling was that the culprit turned out to be Fang Xuanen!
After being rescued from Qingyun Mountain, he and Rong Xiu have been secretly investigating Fang Xuanen, and they touched the melon from the case of the disappearance of bagpipe yuan, Li Qiange and other girls to Allure, and along Allure, they brought out Baili Yeqing and Fang Xuanen.
Just as they were about to present the incriminating evidence of Fang Xuanen and Baili Yeqing to Bai Liying, Bai Liying was accidentally assassinated!
Rong Xiu and Baili Ye Su were shocked to realize that they couldn't drag it out any longer!
So on the surface, he pretended not to know, and secretly gathered all the evidence together, knocked down Baili Yeqing in one fell swoop, and deliberately let Fang Xuanen go, and put a long line to catch bigger fish!
No wonder when Yan Haiyue was interrogated in the heavenly prison at that time, Rong Xiu once said that even without her confession, he still knew the ins and outs of the matter!
Because, he has already collected a lot of useful evidence! There is nothing to lose by missing Yan Haiyue, and one more of her confessions can only be regarded as icing on the cake.
Rong Xiu turned his head and saw that Yan Xiaoyi's face was not very good, so he stretched out his big hand and rubbed her forehead: "What's wrong?" Something has to be kept hidden from you, angry? ”
Thinking that she had been anxious for so long, but in fact, Rong Xiu and Baili Ye Su had already had their own plans, and she felt that she was really a little ridiculous for a while.
However, the loss was only a little bit, she knew how complicated the two of them were to do, and she couldn't let her know, and she also took care of the overall situation, so she shook her head decisively.
Curiously asked, "You already knew...... Whose name was written on the emperor's edict? ”
Rong Xiu glanced at Baili Ye Su, and seeing that he didn't stop him, he nodded lightly: "That's right, after the assassination of the first emperor, I have visited the Yang Xin Palace many times. He probably felt that time was running out at that time, and one day he wrote the edict in front of me after opening the prince. Therefore, the people who inherited our hundred miles of rivers and mountains, I saw it at that time. ”
"And", his eyes fell on Baili Ye Su, and he said with a little nostalgia: "The first emperor said, 'His Royal Highness the Ninth is kind-hearted but the foundation of the court is still shallow, and the Rong family needs to escort him to help'." ”
As soon as these words came out, Baili Yesu was obviously a little stunned.
In this palace, his mother concubine is just a palace daughter who is casually favored by the emperor, and compared with the daughters of those court officials, her status is simply different.
Because he had no foundation, his mother was easily trampled under her feet to hook. He was beaten to death with a rod for the initiation of sin.
He was even possessed as a demonic god, and was sent to the temple for foster care at a young age, and was not picked up until he became an adult.
How many people can know the bitterness and bitterness of this?
It's not that you don't hate, it's not that you don't resent, but what can you do with hatred and resentment so far?
He could only clench his hands and secretly swear that he must get this account back from the beginning! Look who still looks at bullying him Baili Ye Su!
He wants to engrave his mother's name in the ancestral hall of the Baili Clan's ancestral hall, and give her a fair and just status!
Yan Xiaowei watched from the side, and felt for a while that Baili Ying must have liked Baili Yesu from the bottom of her heart, otherwise when she heard the news that Baili Yesu was in Qingyun Mountain, she would not have personally brought someone there.
Sending him to the temple for foster care since he was a child, indifferent, maybe it is just a disguised protection of Baili Yesu, right?
Only by ignoring it can we not be targeted by people with intentions, and we can grow up healthily in a muddy environment.
However, she suddenly felt a little strange: "Since His Majesty the Emperor has already written the edict and told you the content of the edict, why did he give it to me again?" ”
Rong Xiu pursed his lips: "The first emperor probably had a premonition of the prince's disloyalty, so he deliberately handed over the edict to you, drawing out the prince's old fox tail." ”
Rong Xiu sighed heavily: "If I could have discovered the evil intentions of the prince earlier, the first emperor would not have ......"
Baili Ye Su patted Rong Xiu's shoulder with relief: "How can I blame you?" When his father was assassinated in the garden and sent back to the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, he was already incurable, and although the prince was hateful, he only pressed the last straw on the dying camel. The real murderers are Baili Yeqing and Fang Xuanen! ”
As he spoke, he suddenly reached out and put his fist on his lips and coughed lightly.
Seeing this, the guard Haiming hurriedly walked up from the side and asked with concern, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Dare to be tired of working these days? Chen, let's go and ask the imperial doctor, right? ”
Baili Yesu coughed violently a few more times and waved his hand: "No, if I feel unwell just a few days after I ascended the throne, I'm afraid that the people's hearts that have been stabilized by the government and the opposition will rise and fall again, so I can take a little rest and be quiet a little." ”
Seeing this, Hai Ming wanted to persuade again: "Your Majesty, your current body is no longer a person's, what can you do if you don't look at the imperial doctor?" When you come back from Qingyun Mountain, your body has always been very weak, if you are tired and fall, this hundred miles is really messy! ”
Baili Yesu waved his hand without annoyance: "Okay, don't say it again!" Do you have the final say, or do I have the final say? ”
Seeing this, although Hai Ming had the heart to persuade again, he didn't dare to make a fool of himself anymore, and only kept glancing at Yan Xiaoyu with his eyes.
Yan Xiaowei knew that Haiming wanted to help her intercede, but now Baili Yesu was no longer the Baili Yesu she used to be, and she had to take care of her identity.
After thinking about it, she reached out and grabbed the big palm under Rong Xiu's cuffs.
Rong Xiu's dark eyes paused slightly on her face, and he sensed her intentions.
"Your Majesty, why don't you let Xiao Cumin help you take a look?"
Baili Ye Su lowered his eyes, his eyes fell on the hands of the two of them, he stabbed in his heart, and faintly refused: "No, I have my own sense of proportion in my heart." It's getting late, go back! ”
As he spoke, his whole body had already turned around, leaving Rong Xiu and Yan Xiaowei with an arrogant back.
After the two left, Hai Ming walked lightly to Baili Yesu's side and tentatively called "Emperor"!
However, Baili Yesu's body was motionless like a sculpture, his hands propped up on the railing, like a lonely eagle.
Hai Ming controlled and controlled, and finally didn't hold back, and walked forward in a few steps, however, his eyes unconsciously fell on Baili Yesu's fingers on the railing, and he saw that the wide and slender palm, from the fingertips to the root of the palm, was bruised!
