The Qinglou woman was brought into the palace in a twist and turn. Not far from the main hall, she suddenly heard someone calling her name, she quietly looked up, and saw a familiar figure being controlled by Zhang Enjin.

"Ning'er!" Hu Rui shouted at her, "Ning'er, leave me alone, they are using me to blackmail your ......" Before he finished speaking, he was dragged away by Zhang Enjin.

"Hu Lang!" Zhou Ning'er's throat seemed to be blocked by something, and tears flowed down again, Hu Lang is still alive!

"Are you Zhou Ning'er?" Emperor Zhuang Xuan's voice came from above Zhou Ning'er's head, and she knelt on the ground and replied timidly, "Yes." ”

"Did you poison Li Jingqian?" Emperor Zhuang Xuan then asked.

"Yes......" Zhou Ning'er suddenly paused. Wei Qinghuan on the side clasped his hands.

"Yes...... It was Master Wei who forced me to say that. Zhou Ning'er stammered a little, her forehead was oozing with sweat, and her eyes were staring at the ground. For the sake of Hu Lang, she can only say this.

"You!" As if betrayed, Wei Qinghuan wanted to rush forward to defend himself, but he was grabbed by one of Zixiang and whispered in his ear: "No." ”

When Wei Qinghuan heard the teacher's words, although he was still a little unwilling, it was the emperor who was sitting on it, so he had to stand aside angrily.

"Wei Aiqing, what do you say?" Emperor Zhuang Xuan's voice came from not being angry.

"Your Majesty, she's lying!" Wei Qinghuan raised his voice a few heights, gritted his teeth and lowered his head and whispered to Zhou Ning'er who was kneeling on the ground: "Don't you want to take revenge?" Why lie? ”

Zhou Ning'er didn't dare to speak, nor did she dare to move, as long as she could save Hu Lang's life, even if she lied to the emperor, even if she died, she was willing.

"Lying? So how can this be? Emperor Zhuang Xuan then set his eyes on Zhang Qingyuan and said, "What do you say, Zhang Aiqing?" ”

Zhang Qingyuan, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, heard the emperor's inquiry, slightly hooked the corners of his mouth mockingly, and his white beard also moved. He opened his eyes, stared at Wei Qinghuan, and said, "Lord Wei, but what is the dissatisfaction with the affairs of this official and the affairs of the Pure World Academy?" That's why this play was specially arranged? ”

"Naturally, he didn't dare to do this." Zi Xiangzhi stood up and said, "Your Majesty, can you allow the minister to say a few words." ”

"Speak." Emperor Zhuang Xuan said.

"Lord Wei also wanted to return Lord Li's innocence, so he believed this woman's fallacy, looking at the current situation, I am afraid that Lord Wei and the emperor were teased by this woman. It seems that this woman is very scheming, and the emperor has to punish her severely. Zixiang said these words expressionlessly.

"The minister seconded the proposal, this Zhou Ning'er should be beheaded." Zhang Qingyuan finally got up and said.

The hall was silent for a while. Emperor Zhuang Xuan took out a pill from the box held by the chief eunuch, put it in his mouth unhurriedly, and then took the teacup in the tray of another eunuch, and as soon as he raised his head, the pill was sent into his stomach by the tea.

Emperor Zhuang Xuan coughed lightly, and then opened his mouth, "Chop." ”

Zi Xiangzhi's forehead was already drenched in cold sweat, and he only said thrilling in his heart, if Zhang Qingyuan hadn't hoped that Zhou Ning'er would disappear into this world earlier, he wouldn't have said that sentence today, and the emperor would have investigated it carefully, and he and Wei Qinghuan would have been in a catastrophe.

Zhou Ning'er's head was blank, she couldn't hear what the eunuch said, she just let herself be dragged out of the hall, hoping that Hu Lang would be safe.

Wei Qinghuan looked at Zhou Ning'er who was dragged away, she didn't resist at all, she just slowly closed her eyes and muttered something in her mouth.

Wei Qinghuan's eyes didn't know what a complicated look was, all this changed too fast, too fast, a person's life and death were just a thought of the person on the dragon chair. Although there were many people who sentenced him to death in the past, it was a decision that he dared to make after careful reasoning and solid evidence.

After Zhou Ning'er was dragged out of the hall, Emperor Zhuang Xuan said something in the ear of the chief eunuch, and the chief eunuch respectfully agreed, and then said in a sharp voice: "Spread the word of the saint: Dali Temple Qingwei is light, and he deceives the king, but I remember that he is committed to his duties on weekdays, so he is punished for being grounded at home for three months, and no one is allowed to visit." Chin this. ”

"Minister, take the order." Wei Qingwan knelt on the ground in a daze, his heart was full of sorrow and joy, his eyes were full of confusion, and his ears suddenly remembered his mother's words, "Do you know that since ancient times, there has been no loyalty in the court, and it is all in the thoughts of the Son of Heaven." ”

After everyone retreated, Zhang Qingyuan held a sandalwood box, the hollow crane carved on it was lifelike, and there was an elixir in the box that was not quite the same color as the one that Emperor Zhuang Xuan had just taken, and said: "Your Majesty, this is the elixir newly refined by the minister." He has personally taken it for seven hundred and forty-nine days. ”

Emperor Zhuang Xuan glanced at the elixir, asked the chief eunuch behind him to accept it, and said to Zhang Qingyuan with great satisfaction: "Aiqing has worked hard. ”

"To do things for the emperor, the ministers will not hesitate." Zhang Qingyuan knelt on the ground and said loudly.

When Wei Qinghuan and Zixiang came out of the main hall, they saw that the Seven Princes wearing python robes embroidered with gold thread and hairpins were already waiting outside the hall.

The Seventh Prince, Chang Yan, didn't seem to be affected by what happened just now, the corners of his mouth were still faintly smiling, and he said to the two of them in a calm tone: "Today's matter, Lord Wei and Lord Zi have worked hard. ”

Wei Qinghuan and Zixiangzhi hurriedly saluted and said, "Don't dare to be." ”

Chang Tan motioned for the two to talk while walking, and the two followed him respectfully.

"I heard that Lord Ji of the Chengling Division is also investigating this matter?" Chang Yan looked at Ji Xiu's back under the steps and said.

"Yes." Zi Xiangzhi replied, "Lord Qi has the grace of Ji Xiu, so he has been running around for this matter of the Qi family these days. A few days ago, he came to the old minister, saying that he wanted to ask the minister to help him with one or two, and the meaning of the words seemed to be compromised, and the minister thought that it was time for the 'internal auxiliary party' to add another person in. Therefore, His Highness does not have to worry about this person. ”

The smile in Chang Yan's eyes was even worse, "The Pure World Academy holds half of the imperial city's military power, and now that Ji Xiu has joined us, the other half of the imperial city's military power is considered to be ours." After speaking, he stopped slightly, glanced at Wei Qinghuan and said: "It's just that I have been wronged by Lord Wei for these three months, and when I have the opportunity, I will ask my father for an order to lift your grounding in advance." ”

Wei Qinghuan nodded blankly in his eyes, "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

"What else does Lord Wei have on his mind?" Chang Yan saw Wei Qinghuan's strange appearance and asked.

Wei Qinghuan has something on his mind, but how can he say to a prince, your father can't kill people but have brains? Moreover, now he and his teacher are trying to protect the Seven Princes, also because he has taken a fancy to the Seven Princes will not be like Emperor Zhuang Xuan. Therefore, he just shook his head and said: "It's just that Zhang Qingyuan has surrendered an army again, and he is unwilling."

Chang Yan raised his head and smiled: "Why rush this moment? He said that he wanted to purify people's hearts and the world, but now the people's hearts and the world have been polluted by them, and see how long he can gain power? ”

In the past few days, Wei Qinghuan has been confined at home, and the affairs of Dali Temple are not managed, so he can only let the people around him listen outside, and then come back to inform himself.

The people of the Cheng Ling Division also frowned all day. Seeing that Wei Qinghuan was imprisoned, Zhang Qingyuan asked the emperor to take over Qi Lu's case, and Ji Xiu and Qi Rong were even more anxious.

In addition to worrying about Qi Lu, Fang You and Xiao Qibai also had to raise money for the redemption of Shi Nian.

On this day, Fang You suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said to Xiao Qibai: "Senior brother, we have been taking turns to find that old bustard recently, but we haven't come up with anything, I have an idea now, can you listen to it?" ”

"Let's talk about it first." Xiao Qibai hurriedly leaned over.

"So many of us have gone to the Falling Moon Tower in disguise, and the old bustard's vigilance must be very high. I want to ......," Fang Yu said in Xiao Qibai's ear.

"Great idea! I didn't see it, Ah You, you have more ghost ideas than Shang Fu's kid. Xiao Qibai nodded again and again.

"He's a ghost idea, I'm serious." Fang You defended himself, "But this time I really have to let Shang Fu help me act in a scene." ”

At the beginning of the night light, Fang You was dressed in men's clothes, and once again stepped into the Falling Moon Tower, she looked around expectantly, hoping not to be bumped into by the old bustard.

"Girl, do you have a man named Shi Nian here?" Fang You casually grabbed a woman who had fallen from the moon tower and asked.

"Oh, isn't this the young man who looked for the thatched house last time?" Didi has been in the Falling Moon Tower for five or six years, and she has already developed the ability to see people and never forget them.

Fang You looked at her for a long time, and then remembered that the person in front of him was the woman who leaned against him last time, "Okay...... What a coincidence. ”

"Why didn't the master come to the slave family this time?" There seemed to be vinegar in her words, and she said flatteringly, and as she spoke, she was about to lean her plump body towards Fang You.

Fang You quickly held her up steadily, and said, "It's just because I promised Miss Shi Nian last time that I would come to look for her again." Please ask my sister to do me a favor and take me to her. After saying that, he then escaped from his sleeve and stuffed some broken silver into Di's hand.

Na Didi took the silver, the smile on her face was even stronger, she glanced around, and then immediately put the silver into her arms, and the other party said: "You have found the right person, but I just met her." Because she is not good at picking up customers, she will be scolded in her mother's room. After speaking, the other party gestured, "You come with me." ”

Fang You saw that she seemed to want to take herself directly to the old bustard, so he hurriedly pulled her into an empty room, "Good sister, I won't go, please help me call her over, just say...... Just said that San Lang was in a hurry to find her. ”

Didi glanced at Fang You and sneered, "I thought you had changed your mind." Okay, I'll help you find her. ”

"Thank you, sister." Fang You watched Didi go out of the door, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Didi to go, and Shi Nian came in in a hurry. As soon as she saw Fang You, tears almost burst out of her eyes again, "Third sister, are you ......here?"

"Shh Fang You hurriedly stopped her.

"Ah yes, Ah Yu," Shi Nian thought about what to call him, "San Lang? ”

Seeing Fang You nodding, she continued, her eyes full of anticipation, "San Lang, are you here to ransom me out?" ”

Fang You shook his head, "I haven't scraped together enough silver taels, but within this month, I will be able to ransom you out." ”

Shi Nian was a little disappointed when she heard her say this, but nodded helplessly, "I really can't stay here anymore......"

Fang You took her hand and said as if comforting, "Don't worry, I will scrape together enough money as soon as possible." Coming to you this time is another thing. ”

"What's the matter?" Shi Nian said curiously.

Fang You whispered in Shi Nian's ear: "The case about Li Jingqian." You need to go to the bustard, drag her first, and then we will make a trick to lure her out, and then you remember to guard the door until I go in and search her room......"

"This ...... Will it work? Shi Nian asked with a worried look on his face and a timid look in his eyes.

"Don't worry, you just need to help me guard the door." Fang You said, "If this matter is successful, you will be a hero, and when the time comes, you will be guilty of giving that old bustard......

When Shi Nian heard that he could convict the ruthless bustard, he couldn't stop nodding his head in agreement, and there was no cowardice in his eyes, so he went to the bustard's room according to Fang You's instructions.
