Shuangxi's eyes looked at them with a sparkle in his eyes.

"Am I dead?" He muttered to himself in a daze, "No, if you die, there will be no Your Highness." ”

He closed his eyes, and suddenly opened them again to look at the blood on Meng Yong's clothes, "You guys! You're dead too? ”

He burst into tears: "It's all me who hurt you and hurt our house, woo... Kill your Highness..."

Zhao Chen reluctantly withdrew the dagger, sat on the edge of the bed, twisted his ear, and asked softly, "Does it hurt?" ”

"It hurts, it hurts." Shuangxi shouted hard and cried again: "It hurts to die, woo... I'm dead..."

Zhao Chen wrung the cotton towel and wiped it on his face, "Look at your little bit of interest, don't worry, I won't die if you die, I still have to live a hundred years and be a disaster for a thousand years-"

Shuangxi gradually sobered up and was stunned for a while.

"It still hurts, I'm not dead, and you're not dead..."He grabbed Zhao Chen's hand tightly and cried even louder, "Your Highness—I'm scared to death!" They actually beat me..."

Zhao Chen let him cry at his fingertips, and his red lips became tighter and tighter.

At this moment, a white hand reached over and pinched the back of Shuangxi's neck, which immediately made him fall asleep again.

"My father-in-law is too frightened, so it's better to sleep a little longer." Meng Yong whispered, breaking her hand out, "You also go back to wash and rest, let's rest early." ”

Zhao Chen broke away from his hand, was silent, and said, "No matter what role you play in this matter, now that my entry into the dynasty is a foregone conclusion, no matter how much you calculate, you can't change it." ”

Meng Yong's eyes were misty, and he said softly: "Shi'an, it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, you have a good mind, and you have always hidden your edge to seek stability, and you will not take risks for women." ”

The implication of his words was obvious, he didn't believe Zhao Chen's previous excuses.

In silence, Zhao Chen's mind turned sharply.

She had a plan for the excuse, but now is not the time...

She lowered her eyes and pursed her lips, as if there was something unspeakable, but her fingers caressed the wound on his neck, and said softly: "Who can really protect who for a lifetime-"

After a long time, Meng Yong held her hand again, slowly put it into the basin, and said while gently rubbing the blood on it: "Your Majesty is suspicious and suspicious, and being a minister with him is not just as simple as accompanying a tiger..."

He carefully wiped her hands, and then pulled the dagger from her waist, "Swords are useless to people's hearts, and your hands should not be stained with blood, so you can be your imperial history with peace of mind, and you don't need to worry about anything else." ”

He held the dagger in his hand, tightened it, lowered his eyebrows and was silent for a moment, then turned and walked away.

Zhao Chen was distracted for a long time before he stretched out his petite hands, looked at them in front of him, and couldn't help but smile and laugh-

………

The next day, the Taihe Hall will meet.

Zhao Chen stood at the end of the civil official in a crimson official uniform, lowering his eyes and quietly listening to the courtiers' reports.

"Your Majesty." Xia Mingji came out to salute, "Yesterday, Prince Wu led his troops to break into the minister's mansion without a will... Although it was a big case like a fake silver ticket, the minister dared to ask His Majesty to punish him for his reckless behavior. ”

"The ministers seconded the proposal." Most of the courtiers followed suit.

However, Xie Duan, who was the most enthusiastic about complaining in the past, closed his sleeves and eyes and did not move.

Zhao Chen glanced at the piece of Qi brush in front of him, and went out of the queue: "Back to Your Majesty, extraordinary things are done in extraordinary times... The thieves even dared to burn the official treasury of the household department, and if they were alarmed at that time, it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no accidents. ”

"The ministers are the masters of the investigation privately, but also to preserve the evidence and prevent the thieves from going unpunished, please let Your Majesty know it."

Emperor Chu looked at her through the crown, his eyes were slightly satisfied, but his face was indifferent, "This matter is not done properly by Prince Wu, and he will be fined for half a year, and then he will accompany Xia Aiqing... In the future, it is not allowed to make decisions without authorization. ”

"Obey." Zhao Chen knocked on the ground.

Xia Mingji wanted to say more, but was pulled by the Ministry of Industry Shangshu on the side, signaling him not to waste his efforts.

"Passing is a pass, merit is merit." Emperor Chu's voice was slightly raised, "It was Prince Wu who found out this big case... I have decreed that this case will be handled by Prince Wu, supplemented by Xie Qing and others, and all the ministers of the court and China must cooperate with the review..."

He said coldly: "... My silver has been stolen, and it will be thirteen years since I stole it, and no matter who is involved in this matter, I will investigate it to the end, and I will not be lenient, do you hear clearly? ”

The ministers looked at each other, "The ministers obey His Majesty's holy orders—"

——

As soon as the court meeting dispersed, all living beings were in various states.

Some people smiled and humbly greeted Zhao Chen, some people avoided snakes and scorpions and didn't look at her, and some people silently straightened their clothes and walked out...

"Thank you, sir." Zhao Chen took a few steps to keep up with Xie Duan, who belonged to the latter.

Xie Duan stopped, waited until the colleagues around him were clean, and then said lightly: "It's the old man's fault, you can go to the old man in front of the emperor, and the old man will never complain." ”

In his lifelong career as an imperial historian, he lost the evidence for the first time.

Zhao Chen asked lightly: "What are you talking about?" Things have come to this point, Jia Fu has also been imprisoned, you let me tell Your Majesty again, saying that we have already started to check for fake silver tickets? Did someone bother to steal the evidence and frame me? ”

Xie Duan stopped squeaking, his sleeves were closed, and he walked out with his head bored.

"I almost got planted this time." Zhao Chen said softly while following him: "It's hard to argue, don't even have a person who can testify, Lao Xie, you won't just put the fake silver ticket on the table, right?" ”

Xie Duan's beard trembled, and he snorted: "The old man is not so confused!" Since Lord Jiang handed over the silver ticket to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the old man locked it in the secret cabinet of the courtyard, who knows how it was stolen! ”

Zhao Chen's eyes sank, and he asked again: "Who else can enter your secret pavilion besides you?" ”

"There is only an old man, and there is only a key." Xie Duan said sullenly: "The old man is sure that the key has not been lost." ”

Zhao Chen pursed his lips and didn't say anything more for a long time.

Xie Duan only thought that she was suspicious, and after thinking about it, he simply took her to take a walk outside the so-called secret pavilion.

The stainless steel is the window, the stone door is blocked, and the mechanism is implied in the middle.

Zhao Chen retracted his gaze and sighed lightly in his heart.

She still underestimated Meng Yong, and the other party was the real hidden dragon and crouching tiger under his hands.

Liang Shangyu gentleman Zhang San.

This is the only person she can think of at this time, and she can do such a beautiful job.

first sold the gold jade hairpin a year ago, leading Shuntianfu to investigate; When the time comes, let Zhang San deliberately leak his traces, leave a fake silver ticket, and expose this huge case...

Meng Yong fiddled with Liang Xu with one hand, pulled Jia Fu down with the other, and stood quietly in the dark, waiting for the opportunity to collect the peerless divine arrow.

He had already laid out the whole game and calculated everything, but he missed her restless variable.

The corners of her lips curled, and she couldn't help but rub the thin thing in her sleeve.

After the Wuwang Mansion was sealed yesterday, Meng Yong secretly stuffed her fake silver tickets.

The third fake silver ticket is also the other party's confession and concession...

At that time, she was even more convinced that Liang Xu would die, Jia Fuzhong would find something, and she and Shuangxi would be fine...

Meng Yong... Are you soft-hearted?

If you are soft-hearted, you are going to lose-
