To be honest, Li Xuan didn't like to kneel in the past, he is a modern person, and what he has in his heart is the idea that everyone is equal, fair and free, so let him kneel to others, even if it is the highest leader of a country, the emperor, he can't do it.

But now, after seeing the emperor, he consciously knelt down.

"Do you know what's wrong?" The Emperor stared at his head, his eyes secretive.

Li Xuan replied calmly: "If my father means that I killed Lanzhi, I don't think I'm wrong. You can say I'm impulsive, but you can't say I'm doing it wrong.

"I have already interrogated, Lanzhu's appearance in Yangliu Lane is purely a coincidence, Xiao Lingwei did not appear in Yangliu Lane, it was Lanzhi who lied.

"I killed Laneige out of a moment of anger, and I didn't have any other thoughts, if my father must think that I have, then I have nothing to say."

Regarding Lan Zhu's confession, the emperor had already received it, so he did not punish Li Xuan. But he always had a little suspicion of Li Xuan in his heart.

"I see that you are still kind to the sixth room of the Xiao family, and you help them everywhere."

Li Xuan raised his head and looked directly into the emperor's eyes: "My father once taught me that in order to achieve the goal, you must do whatever it takes. They see my kindness, but it's just a means for me. I'm just the one who touched the Xiao family in the past, let them believe me, and tell me what they knew.

"If my father doesn't approve of my approach, I can withdraw from this operation at any time."

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Don't you want to perform in front of me and make a contribution?" ”

"Yes, I think so, I want your approval, but if you look at me with doubt in everything I do, then what's the use of me doing it? It's true that I'm ambitious, but I don't want to waste my efforts. ”

These words were very straightforward, Li Xuan's expression was also very sincere, the emperor stared at him for a long time, and finally softened his tone: "I don't care what kind of means you use, I only look at the result." ”

"You go down first."

"Yes." Li Xuan lowered his eyelids and retreated.

......

A tavern somewhere in the North City.

In the corner of the lobby, a table of people is gathering and whispering:

"You say, is Xiao Lingwei of Xiao Mansion really the daughter of the previous emperor?"

"I don't see that His Majesty is going to arrest her in such a big battle today?"

"Hey, I don't understand, this eldest princess is in the capital, and Your Majesty didn't kill her, why is it Princess Yongjia's turn that Your Majesty wants to kill her instead?"

"You haven't heard of this, come, come here, let me tell you, I heard that the rebellion of the five princes was instigated by His Majesty today, that is, he wants the five princes and the seven princes to kill you to the death, so that he can profit from it. You see, isn't this the emperor? ...”

"Then what does this have to do with killing Princess Yongjia?"

"Alas, do you listen to me, I heard that Princess Yongjia witnessed the killing of the previous emperor by His Majesty today, so His Majesty is going to kill people today."

"No, if it was really Princess Yongjia who witnessed it with her own eyes, why didn't she say it earlier?"

"Uh... I must be under threat..."

Suddenly, a majestic voice sounded from behind: "Your Majesty, take it away." ”

A group of officers and soldiers rushed over and took the group away, and the owner and men of the tavern hid behind the counter, not daring to come out, until the officers and soldiers left the tavern, and they came out trembling.

"I'm scared to death, in the future, don't mention Princess Yongjia..."The shopkeeper patted his mouth lightly: "Damn, in short, don't mention this person in the future." If there are guest officials, they must be kicked out. ”

The guys responded, "Yes." ”

"Bang."

The sudden sound of the voice drew their attention to it, and it was only then that they realized that there were two more guest officers near the window.

If there are students, they will recognize one of the old men as the famous first bachelor in the world

- Pei Zhiwang.

Another young man was a scholar who had been a scholar beside Pei Zhiwang, and it happened to be Lin Hai who went to Beijing to report on his work.

Lin Hai threw the broken silver on the table and walked out with Pei Zhiwang.

Walking into the street and looking at the officers and soldiers walking all over the street, Lin Hai's expression was very heavy: "Sir, I don't believe that Miss Xiao will rebel." ”

"I don't believe it either." After Mr. Pei finished speaking, he walked to the carriage.

"Go to Sikong Mansion."

......

Wu Sikong spread his hands and said helplessly: "Teacher, you have also seen that although Your Majesty did not dismiss my official, he put me under house arrest in the mansion. ”

Pei Zhiwang asked, "What about Shu Yu?" ”

"Like me, under house arrest." Wu Sikong sighed: "We all know that the little junior sister was wronged, but... There's nothing we can do now.

"The people in the capital are panicked, even if they know the truth, no one dares to stand up and speak, besides, it is useless to say it. Lord He and the others entered the palace to persuade His Majesty, and they are still kneeling in the Heart Nourishing Palace, and His Majesty's heart to kill Xiao Lingwei has not wavered at all. ”

Lin Hai interjected and said, "I saw a notice on the street just now, Lord Xiao Linhui and his wife will be beheaded tomorrow at noon, does Lord Sikong know what's going on?" ”

"What? Are they going to be beheaded? Wu Sikong stood up in shock.

"Looks like you don't know what's going on anymore." Pei Zhiwang sighed deeply: "Poor Weiwei this child, the fate of his parents is too shallow." I think she will definitely go to the execution ground tomorrow to save Lord Xiao. ”

"Isn't that going to die?" Lin Hai frowned, tomorrow's execution ground will definitely be heaven and earth.

Wu Sikong couldn't help frowning: "Your Majesty's move is too ruthless, using Lord Xiao and his wife to lure Xiao Lingwei to appear, once Xiao Lingwei appears at the execution ground tomorrow, it will definitely be more than lucky." ”

"I think it's certain death." The worry in Pei Zhiwang's heart deepened a little: "I think, Your Majesty is so targeted at Weiwei, it must be that Emperor Daxing left something for Weiwei, which made him very jealous, so he wanted to kill Weiwei." ”

Wu Sikong asked suspiciously, "What can Emperor Daxing leave for his little junior sister?" He couldn't think of it, because he was tied up outside at that time, although he didn't know what Emperor Daxing said to Xiao Lingwei in the end. But with the situation that everyone was surrounded by a lot at that time, how could Emperor Daxing have a follow-up move?

If there were, I wouldn't have died so miserably.

Pei Zhiwang shook his head: "I can't guess either, but His Majesty is so jealous of Weiwei today, it must be a slight threat to his status." ”

"Status?" Wu Sikong pondered for a moment and exclaimed: "He is now the emperor, do you mean that Weiwei can threaten his throne?" ”

Then he wondered, "How is it possible?" Emperor Daxing's sons are all dead, even if there is any power in Weiwei's hands, there is no brother to inherit the throne. ”

Lin Hai's eyes lit up when he heard this, and the next moment, what Pei Zhiwang said also confirmed his conjecture.

"Don't forget, who is the second emperor of my dynasty, it is Empress Taimu."

Wu Sikong suddenly realized: "Oh~ You mean that Emperor Daxing left the last strength to the little junior sister, and wants her to return to the country in the future..."

The Empress of the Palms
