Even if the lantern is ugly, it is not tightly pasted and leaks.

The candle was lit, and a gust of wind blew, and the candle swayed.

In the spirit of not admitting defeat, Su Jin and Xing'er struggled for most of the day, and they didn't have much willpower, but they were hit by the secret guard and completely collapsed.

The dark guards, who had never tied a lantern, looked better than them for the first time.

Under Xing'er's glare, the dark guard silently reflected.

Why didn't he stay in the tree and run down to mingle?

Even if it's ugly, it's better than the princess and her maid.

The dark guard silently twisted the lantern into it.

"It seems that making lanterns also requires talent," Su Jindao.

"Girl, don't be frustrated, Master Hou said, not everything needs to be good at, and no one can be good at everything, we just need to hand things over to people who are good at it."

"Master Hou said this is called ......."

Apricot, who has always had a good memory, couldn't remember it for a while, and scratched her forehead anxiously.

Su Jin said with a smile, "Choose people to be powerful, know people well, and make the best use of their talents." ”

Apricot nodded quickly.

That's what Hou Ye said.

She set her eyes on the Dark Guard.

Dark Guard, "....... ”

And then—

Su Jin knows people and is good at it.

I've left the work of tying the lantern to the Dark Guard.

Pity Di Qing, a secret guard, was not sent out to kill, and was called to tie a lantern.

This is no longer a knife to kill chickens, this is a knife to chop mosquitoes with a cattle slaughtering knife.

The whole of Kyoto is immersed in the joy of the lantern festival.

Of course, there are exceptions.

For example, Xie Jinyu, such as Shangguan Fenger......

They didn't want to visit the lantern festival at all, because this lantern festival meant the emperor's favor to Su Jin, which was already to the extreme!

Chongguo Mansion, study.

After Chongguo Gong had lunch, he went to the study to deal with official documents.

As soon as I entered the study, I saw a snow-white pigeon landing on the desk.

He grabbed the pigeon and took the letter from his feet.

After reading the letter, Chongguo Gong was furious.

"A bunch of rubbish!"

"A few big people can also be lost?!"

Thinking that Dongxiang Hou was lost, he suddenly appeared in the court, and ruthlessly commanded him, causing Chongguo Mansion to fall into the hands of Dongxiang Hou, Chongguo Gong gritted his teeth with hatred.

You can't make the same mistake twice!

"Set up an ambush for me on all the necessary roads back to Beijing, and I don't believe they can go around the mountains and mountains!" Chong Guogong's voice was as cold as frost.

"Li Zhong, you go to do this for me, be sure to come back to see me with their heads!"

The secret guard Li Zhong is responsible for protecting Chongguo Gongquan.

Ordinary things, will not labor him out of the horse.

Li Zhong turned to leave.

He walked on the front foot, and the Duchess Chongguo walked in hurriedly with a look on the back foot, and said, "Oh no......." ”

Chongguo Justice is upset.

Since he beat Dongxiang Hou into Beijing, he has not done anything smoothly, he has been pressed, and he is almost out of breath.

This feeling of not being able to do anything smoothly made him very unhappy.

There is also the matter of Dongxiang Marquis insisting on persuading the emperor to exempt from taxes, and he has not yet figured out what Dongxiang Marquis means.

It is impossible for him to mention this matter for no reason, as well as his relationship with the emperor......

Although the emperor is still facing him, but with the clever tongue of the Dongxiang Marquis, it is difficult to guarantee that the emperor will not be coaxed by him, and when the time comes, his head will be confused, and he obeys the will of the Dongxiang Marquis and is exempted from taxes.

Duke Chongguo looked at Duchess Chongguo and said, "Didn't you go to the Criminal Department to visit the old lady, could it be that the old lady had an accident?" ”

"The old lady is still the same as a few days ago, not much has changed," replied the Duchess Chongguo.

"The criminal department is suspicious of the old lady......."

Half an hour ago, the Duchess of Chongguo went to visit the old lady of Chongguo and brought her a meal to show her filial piety.

Although the Duchess Chongguo does not go every day, at least two or three days she will go to bring back meals to the old lady, and three meals a day are sent to the prison of the Criminal Department by the maid on time.

The old lady of Chongguo is a death row prisoner, but she is the biological mother of the queen and Chongguo Gong, and the criminal department does not dare to offend Chongguo Gong.

In addition, the king of Zhenbei did not greet the criminal department, and the criminal department let the Chongguo Mansion deliver the food.

Today was no different from usual, but just as the Duchess Chongguo entered, she overheard the two jailers chatting.

The general meaning is that the imperial doctor diagnosed the pulse and said that the old lady of Chongguo would not live for more than a month, and now it has been a month, but the old lady of Chongguo seems to be even better than when she was in the prison of the Criminal Department.

He also joked that the prison of the Criminal Department is an excellent place to recuperate.

Hearing this, the maid of the Duchess of Chongguo planned to reprimand the jailer for a few words.

As a result, another jailer said, "I heard this matter from the servant yesterday, and the old lady's pulse is jet-lagged, as if she has taken the antidote intermittently...... ”

At this point, the jailer found the Duchess of Chongguo and quickly shut up.

Duchess Chongguo was horrified, didn't say anything, and after greeting the old lady, she hurried back to the Chongguo Mansion.

If the king of Zhenbei and the marquis of Dongxiang knew that the old lady would take the antidote every few days, they would definitely be suspicious and suspicious of Chongguo Gong.

This is not to be taken lightly.

Chongguogong's face was gloomy.

He didn't expect it to be so secretive and discovered.

is afraid of arousing suspicion, so he obviously has the antidote in hand, and he doesn't dare to detoxify the old lady.

can only feed the old lady a little antidote when she can't bear it, and suppress the toxicity.

I didn't expect someone to find out.

I don't know what to do now.

Duchess Chongguo knew that Chongguo was filial, and seeing that his face was gloomy and terrible, but she didn't speak, she said, "Grandpa Guo, the matter has come to this point, and the overall situation must be the most important." ”

Chongguo Gong waved his hand, "Let me be alone for a while." ”

Duchess Chongguo turned to leave.

When she went out, the maid whispered, "Madam, you have to hide the matter of withholding the antidote from Grandpa Guo...... ”

Duchess Chongguo sighed, "Let Grandpa Guo cut off the old lady's antidote, he can't be ruthless, so I'll do it." ”

Today was supposed to be the day to send the antidote to the old lady of Chongguo.

This matter is handed over to the maid, and no one is at ease.

But hearing the jailer say that, Duchess Chongguo hesitated.

She withheld the antidote.

It has not been easy for them to get to where they are today, and they must not be discouraged in a moment's time.

The old lady murdered the old lady of Zhenbei Wangfu with conclusive evidence, even if she doesn't die, she can only stay on death row in the Criminal Department for the rest of her life.

After enjoying a lifetime of glory and wealth, where can I endure this suffering?

Death is also a relief.

There was no antidote, but for two days, the old lady of Chongguo was lying on the bed in the cell and could not move.

The Chongguo Mansion brought food every day, but no one asked her for a doctor.

I don't even care about the Chongguo Mansion, let alone the Criminal Department.

The prison of the Criminal Department is dark and damp, and normal people can't stand it, let alone poisoned people.

The old lady of Chongguo's illness is getting worse day by day.

It's the day of the lantern festival.

When the jailer went from cell to cell to deliver food, he didn't hear her muffled voice.

When I opened the cell door, I saw that it was already cold.

And at this time-

On the House of Parliament.

The emperor announced an amnesty to the world.

The waiter of the Criminal Department returned to the Criminal Department, and the jailer told him about it.

Lord Lin, the servant of the Criminal Department, was shocked from the bottom of his heart.

He said that the Marquis of Dongxiang sent someone to find him that day and asked the jailer to act for the Duchess of Chongguo.

I'm waiting here.

The emperor granted amnesty to the world, and even those condemned to death were sentenced to exile.

The old lady of Chongguo is the biological mother of the empress.

The emperor will definitely be extra gracious and allow her to return home......

The Marquis of Dongxiang wanted the emperor to grant amnesty to the world for the princess of Zhenbei, but he didn't want the old lady of Chongguo to get away with it.

He has been persuading the emperor to be exempt from taxes, who would have thought that tax exemption was just a pretense?

As early as the dynasty, Chongguo Gong had a bad premonition in his heart and felt that he had been tricked.

After waiting for the next court, he hurried to the prison of the Criminal Department and learned the news of the death of the old lady of Chongguo.

Chongguo Gong's throat itched.

A mouthful of blood spat out.

Fainted.
