Xiao Yichen walked out of Xue Yi's Qinghui Garden, walked quickly to the front hall, and before entering the second door, there was a high and low cry from Mrs. Qing, listening to the meaning of Mrs. Qing's words, but blaming Xue Yi for not being able to save Xue Wu. Xiao Yichen frowned, presumably this young lady came to trouble Xue Yi with the intention of dying, if so, it would be better not to see it.

Xiao Yichen looked up and saw a little guy standing by the door, he called the little guy to come over, and gave a few words of low instructions, the little guy took the order and left, Xiao Yichen dodged and ran to the rockery in the palace garden, standing on the pavilion of the rockery, you can have a panoramic view of the scenery and movements in the entire palace.

There was not much time, but seeing Mrs. Qing turn around and leave the palace in three steps, a trace of imperceptible sly smile bloomed on Xiao Yichen's lips, it seemed that Mrs. Qing was still very worried about Prime Minister Lan's life and death, he just let the little guy tell her "unintentionally": If Mrs. Qing is messing around again, and Prince Yu is annoyed with Miss Lan, then she will never find her father to avenge her sister.

Seeing Mrs. Qing leave the palace, Xiao Yichen's smile gradually faded, her long eyebrows were deeply locked, although she sent Mrs. Qing away, how to reply to the four princes? He would never allow Xue Yi to go to the Tianbao Mansion alone, although the Tianbao Mansion has his inside line, but now is not the time for this trump card to be exposed, it seems that it is more difficult to convince Xue Yi than anything.

Xue Yi woke up slowly, and her cool eyes fell on the ceiling, just stunned.

Liu Nongqiang approached with a smile: "The princess is awake?" The slave asked the kitchen to prepare the princess's favorite hibiscus cake, but should it be served? ”

Two lines of tears slipped down the corners of Xue Yi's eyes, she didn't want to embarrass Liu Nong, and said lightly: "Liu Nong, I want to be alone." ”

Liu Nong retreated at the door, and saw Xiao Yichen coming from a distance, and a hanging heart returned to its original position.

Xiao Yichen saw Liu Nong standing at the door, frowned, and his voice was a little cold: "Didn't this king order you not to leave the princess?" ”

Liu Nong hurriedly knelt down, but without answering, Xue Yi pushed open the door and Wanfu replied: "Lord Wang, it was the concubine who ordered Liu Nong to wait for the prince outside the door." ”

"Oh? That being the case, Lyun, go down. Xiao Yichen held Xue Yi's soft wattle, and the two walked into the warm pavilion hand in hand. Xiao Yichen sat down and stared at Xue Yi, and after a moment of silence, he said slowly: "Xue Yi, you can blame me." ”

Xue Yi erected a finger as transparent as jade and put it on Xiao Yichen's lips, and smiled sadly: "Prince, Xue Yi doesn't blame the prince, how could Xue Yi not know that the prince is deeply concerned about Xue Yi's safety, and it is Xue Yi who is not thoughtful for a while, which annoys the prince." ”

Xiao Yichen suddenly felt a lot of estrangement between Xue Yi and him, although Yuyan was in front of him, it seemed to be separated by an invisible layer of insurmountable fog, he was suddenly very scared, afraid of losing Xue Yi, such a quiet and reasonable Xue Yi made him a little frightened, he would rather she blame him like an ordinary woman at this time, even if it was crying, it was better than the expressionless little face at this time, so that he could not guess her mind at this time.

Xue Yi sat in Xiao Yichen's arms, leaning on his shoulder, holding his ten fingers crossed, the room was beautiful, but there was no spring, and he always raised his eyebrows after all.

"Xue Yi, I will go to the Tianbao Mansion on your behalf to send Xue Wu on the last journey, you and I both understand that the real Xue Wu is in our palace, and this matter is currently only known to you and me and Xiao Yan, so we can't take the risk ......." Xiao Yichen suddenly felt that his words were a little pale, and he didn't know how to continue.

Xue Yi seemed to be absent-minded, holding Xiao Yichen's ten fingers to herself: "But it's up to the prince to decide." ”

At this time, Xiao Yichen misses Mama Gong very much, if Mama Gong is here, she will definitely tell him to help him comfort Xue Yi, just when she saw her red and swollen eyes, you can see how many tears she shed behind her back, and now seeing her smiling and laughing, pretending to be relaxed, Xiao Yichen's heart is also sour and helpless, he almost blurted out and let Xue Yi go to Tianbao Palace.

Xiao Yichen pushed Xue Yi away and got up in a panic, and in another second he would melt into Xue Yi's helpless tenderness and suppressed sadness, and what he almost blurted out just now was the truth that he couldn't say. Xue Yi sat on the soft couch in a daze, Xiao Yichen raised his feet and stretched out his hand, opened his mouth, but stopped in place, what can he do? And what can you say? Can't solve her worries can't follow her heart, it seems that everything is so pale, the room is quiet, only the sound of each other's heartbeats.

"Back to the prince, the four princes sent the joint recital of the impeachment of the military department Shangshu Lin Zhizhi to our palace, and asked the prince to take a look." The sound of Xiao Xiao outside the door sounded, easing the atmosphere in the room.

"Come in." Xiao Yichen was fully dressed, sat on the Taishi chair in the outer room, and picked up the tea cup with his hand.

Xiao Yu walked in with his head down, handed over the fold with both hands, Xiao Yichen looked at the fold with his eyebrows locked, raised his head for a long time and asked Xiao Yu, "What do the four princes mean?" ”

Xiao Yu shook his head and said: "Qi is strange here, that Lin Zhizhi was originally a staff member of the Four Princes, and now he has military power, he should do his best to protect Lin Zhizhi, but he threw this hot potato to the prince." ”

Xiao Yichen stared at the fold thoughtfully, as if he was talking to himself: "If this king is not mistaken, this Lin Zhizhi was recommended by Prime Minister Lan Cheng, he was born in martial arts, and it is said that he is still the distant nephew of Concubine Yuan. ”

Xiao Yu nodded: "Yes, that's why the humble position said that this Lin Zhangzhi is a hot potato, the emperor ordered a thorough investigation and strict handling, but it was thunder and rain, and only a few painless imperial historians were sent to handle this lawsuit, and now the situation is getting bigger and bigger, this is the name of the hundred officials and the joint name of the people, it seems that it is difficult to block the mouth of this long people if Lin Zhangzhi is not severely punished, because of this, the four princes sent this performance to our palace." ”

Xiao Yichen pondered for a moment, and seemed to have made a lot of determination: "Xiao Xiao, pass the order, and the third division of the Criminal Department will be tried tomorrow morning to convict Lin Zhizhi!" ”

Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Yichen in surprise, such a decision seemed to be a little too hasty, Xiao Yu always felt that this matter was a hidden mystery, because Lin Zhizhi openly despised Xiao Yichen, the prince of Chongqing, and there were several disputes between the two, everyone in the government and the opposition knew that Xiao Yichen, the prince of Chongqing, and Lin Zhizhi were enemies of life and death, and the four princes had always been taboo for Xiao Yichen to ask about Lin Jiezhi's corruption and perversion of the law, and today he suddenly sent Lin Zhizhi to Xiao Yichen's disposal, which was obviously suspected of killing people with a knife.

"Do you want to think about it again, although this Lin Zhizhi's official rank is only a deputy fourth rank, but the relationship network in it is very complicated and ......." Xiao Yu stared at Xiao Yichen, hoping that he could be cautious and cautious in handling this matter.

Xiao Yichen seemed to have made up his mind, and waved his hand to signal Xiao Yu to act as ordered.

Xiao Yu was helpless, so he had to take the order to leave, and as soon as he reached the door, Xue Yi hurriedly called him behind him: "Xiao Guard stays." ”

Xue Yi lifted the bead curtain and walked out of the warm pavilion.

Xiao Yichen saw Xue Yi calling Xiao Yi, and couldn't help but stir his eyebrows: "Do you have something to say?" ”

Xue Yi smiled indifferently and curtled her knees: "The concubine doesn't dare to ask about the government, she just wants to tell the prince an allusion." ”

"Oh?" Xiao Yichen put down the teacup with great interest and motioned for Xue Yi to sit down and talk.

Xue Yi was still standing in place, turned around and smiled at Xiao Yu's head: "Xiao Escort stays, you might as well listen to this allusion of mine before leaving." ”

Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Yichen, and saw that he nodded in agreement, so he stood there and listened.

Xue Yi's face was serious and said slowly: "During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Yuwentai once asked Zuo Cheng why Su Suiguo was established? Does the prince know how Su Sui answered? ”

Xiao Yichen shook his head.

"Su Sui only said two words: 'Guguan'. Yu Wentai didn't understand the meaning of the official, and Su Xuan explained: Use corrupt officials to fight corrupt officials. ”

"Use corrupt officials to fight corrupt officials?!" Xiao Yichen looked at Xue Yi suspiciously, and didn't understand the meaning of Xue Yi's words for a while.

Xue Yi knelt down in front of Xiao Yichen: "The concubine knows that the prince has the world in mind, and has the intention to change the government of the month, but looking at the past dynasties, which dynasty has no corrupt officials, and that generation has no ministers?" Lord Wang, the important thing at the moment is not to punish corrupt officials, but how to use corrupt officials for the prince! ”

Xiao Yichen picked up Xue Yi and stared at her eyes and said, "Does Xue'er mean to let me let Lin Zhizhi go?" ”

Xue Yi shook her head: "Lord Wang, it's not about letting people go, but how to use this person for the prince!" ”

Xue Yi paused for a moment, and then continued: "If the prince wants to work for the prince, he must give people benefits, and the prince can't take out this lot of money at this time, so he gives him the right, he uses the right in his hand to get the benefits, naturally he will be afraid of losing the right in his hand and then will do everything possible to protect the right of the prince, then Lin Zhizhi still holds the power of the army, if the prince pulls him over, then the four princes have one less chess piece, and the prince has one more chess piece, this game of chess The prince has one more chance of winning?" ”

Xiao Yu interjected on the side: "It's just that now the emperor is intent on investigating thoroughly, and the fourth prince sees that he can't protect Lin Jiaozhi, so he kicked him down here from our prince, and it is nothing more than to kill him with the prince's knife." ”

Xue Yi nodded, her eyes bright: "Kill someone with a knife?" Then why didn't the prince also borrow a knife? ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Has the prince ever had the empirical evidence of Lin Zhang's corruption and perversion of the law? Did the emperor have a holy decree to remove Lin Jiao from the post of secretary of the military department? Xue Yi stared sideways at Xiao Yichen.

Xiao Yichen shook his head slowly, and his eyes lit up and he suddenly understood what Xue Yi meant: "Xue'er, you have done your husband a great favor!" Xiao Xiao, quickly submit these folds to the study! ”

Xiao Yi was slightly stunned for a moment, and also understood Xiao Yichen's meaning, and couldn't help but secretly admire Xue Yi's cleverness and wisdom, since the emperor ordered a thorough investigation of the case but never dismissed his official dismissal, according to the rules of the Inviting Yue State Dynasty, impeachment of senior officials above the fourth grade, if there is no real evidence, these two joint concerts will be finalized after the court discussion.

Now this hot potato is still digested by the emperor himself.

After Xiao Yi left, Xue Yi stood beside Xiao Yichen and suddenly said, "Why didn't the prince know Lord Lin?" ”

The two looked at each other and had the same thoughts, Xiao Yichen hugged Xue Yi and hurried away.
