Xiao Nai said almost bewildermently: "Tortoiseshell, you are eighteen this year." ”

The tortoiseshell nodded, not knowing if it was smoked by the water vapor or what, and her cheeks were slightly reddened.

Xiao Nai stretched out a jade-like hand and slapped water on his shoulder: "Eighteen, a woman's best years, but it is really a pity to accompany this palace in this deep palace." ”

The tortoiseshell hurriedly said: "The mother is serious, the master sent the slave to the mother, that is, the slave and the maid served the mother, this is the duty of the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid did not protect the maid last time, and the maid and the master did not blame the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid were grateful for the master's generosity." ”

Speaking of Xiao Nai's severed fingers, the tortoiseshell was a little afraid, who knows, Xiao Nai just smiled slowly, and sighed like no one else: "The palace is in such a situation now, you also know Your Majesty's attitude towards the palace, the palace also sees it, the palace is willing to wait, and when Your Majesty sees the good of the palace, it's just a tortoiseshell, your heartfelt heart to the palace, the palace will remember, and you will definitely find a good home for you in the future." ”

The tortoiseshell's cheeks turned red, and before she could say anything, she heard Xiao Nai say: "But you and this palace are both from southern Xinjiang, and this palace is reluctant to marry you into someone else's side, so I will choose someone in southern Xinjiang." ”

The tortoiseshell couldn't help but be curious, and subconsciously asked, "People from southern Xinjiang?" ”

Xiao Nai covered his lips and said: "Naturally, Your Majesty is from Southern Xinjiang, and naturally our people in Southern Xinjiang are more reliable, by the way, this palace thinks that Wang Lang, the leader of the Praetorian Guard, is good, strong in martial arts and heartfelt, and is the person that Your Majesty likes." ”

The tortoiseshell has already made a mess in her mind, Wang Lang She has met a few times, although people seem to be rude, but they are polite, they can occasionally meet each other when they enter and leave the palace gate, and she herself can also do some kung fu, naturally she has a lot of admiration for people with strong martial arts, and now through Xiao Nai said this, she is naturally moved.

She said infinitely shyly: "It's all up to the mother, but the slave is only eighteen, so it's not in a hurry." ”

The look on Xiao Nai's face loomed in the dense water vapor, isn't he in a hurry?

No, she is anxious, Tuoba Yue will investigate more and more, and one day she will find out Wang Lang's head, if she knows that He Xi's slut is still alive, she doesn't dare to think about it, she just thinks that the sooner this matter is settled, the better.

On the other side, Xiao Tian looked at the replies of various officials in the court, and inevitably felt a little proud in his heart, and looked at Xiao He with approval: "You have done a very good job in this matter." ”

Xiao He said with a smug look in his eyes: "Uncle, let's do this, aren't we afraid of Your Majesty-"

Xiao Tian said in a deep voice: "What we want is this effect, although he is now afraid of us, but after all, he still cares about our power, otherwise Nell will not be left in the palace, we just want him to see how these important ministers he values tend to attach to us, even if he wants to move the Xiao family, he has to pull out the radish and bring out the mud, the gain outweighs the loss." ”

Xiao He nodded, agreed, and suddenly said: "Nell sent a letter from the palace and asked us to arrange something, but do you want my nephew to do it?" ”

Xiao Tian nodded and said, "Naturally, but be careful and don't let people see the loopholes." ”

Xiao He responded and retreated, while Xiao Tian looked at the replies and accounts, and the ambition in his eyes was like wildfire, burning these things.

At this time, in the Heart Cultivation Palace, Wei Zhongliang was kneeling on the ground tremblingly, not daring to look up at the person in front of him.

The ambergris in the hall is faint, lingering in people's hearts, and has the effect of calming the nerves and calming the air.

Tuoba Yue was holding a book, looking at it, the sound of the pages turning was like thunder in Wei Zhongliang's view.

His forehead was drenched with fine sweat, and his face flushed strangely with fear.

Tuoba Yue just couldn't see it, and only after a while did he say casually: "I just feel unwell, let the imperial doctor come and take a look, why are you so alarmed?" ”

Wei Zhongliang hurriedly leaned over and said, "The minister is incompetent, he can't solve His Majesty's condition, the minister deserves to die-"

Tuoba Yue said: "Damn? No, if you die, I'm afraid I won't know a lot of things, Imperial Doctor Wei, now that the fourth prince is dead, and Lan Zhili has also gone to Xizhou, do you still think that some things can be hidden for a long time? ”

Wei Zhongliang's hand trembled unconsciously, and he touched the ground with his forehead, as if this could support the strength of his whole body.

He can't say that this is a capital crime, and if he does, his daughter and wife will be implicated.

Seeing that he was silent, Fuqing stepped forward and said: "It seems that Imperial Physician Wei is a little unclear, since this is the case, the servant reminded Imperial Physician Wei, Your Majesty is unwell, when Imperial Physician Lu went to Wenyuan Pavilion to look for classics, he found the records borrowed by Imperial Physician Wei, but is there such a thing?" ”

Wei Zhongliang's breathing was a little heavy, and he said: "The ministers are shallow in their knowledge, and their medical attainments are not as good as Imperial Doctor Lu, and they often go to Wenyuan Pavilion to borrow medical classics, I don't know what the problem is?" ”

Tuoba Yue saw that he still refused to admit it, so he said: "The Central Plains has always tried the matter of Gu worm witch doctors as a harmful evil art, and this vein originates from the Miao Domain, so there are very few classics, only there are sporadic records in the Wenyuan Pavilion in the palace, and Imperial Doctor Wei borrows these, but do you want to study?" Seeing Dao Tuoba Yue so straight to the point, Wei Zhongliang felt a cold sweat trickling down, and after a while, his clothes were wet, and he couldn't make sense, no matter what he said, it didn't make sense.

His heart was already dead, with despair, he fell to the ground, and pleaded bitterly: "Your Majesty - the minister should die, the minister has no way, when the fourth prince is in power, he is the master of the minister, the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, the minister has no way——"

Wei Zhongliang felt that the person above had not moved for a long time, gritted his teeth, and continued: "At that time, you had a great reputation in Shu, which made the four princes jealous, so I wanted to contain you, but you have such a feat, if you die violently after returning to the dynasty, it will inevitably cause people to discuss, so Lan Zhili wants to coerce the minister to find a way, both to be able to harm people but also to work, I thought about the method of poisoning, but the chronic poison is a little careless, it will be discovered, and the minister inadvertently discovered this, so he told Lan Zhili the method, As for how to solve the Gu, the minister didn't ask, but the man said that this was a secret technique that was not passed on, and he didn't tell him, as for how Lan Zhili arranged the manpower at that time, the minister didn't know. ”

Tuoba Yue frowned and said, "This person is from the Miao Domain?" Are there any other clues? ”

Wei Zhongliang shook his head and said: "This person is very mysterious, he seems to know what the minister is looking for, he took the initiative to find the minister, and there is no exchange condition——"

He suddenly thought of something, and said eagerly: "No, he's looking for someone, a woman from southern Xinjiang-"

Tuoba Yue's good-looking eyebrows barely relaxed, and said, "A woman from Southern Xinjiang—"

Wei Zhongliang's expression became more and more cowardly, and he hesitated for a long time before he said: "Yes, a woman from southern Xinjiang, when the minister told him that the minister knew that only one woman was from southern Xinjiang-"

He didn't dare to look up at Tuoba Yue, some time ago, the news of Xiao Nai's disappearance spread all over the city, and it was also since then, Wei Zhongliang never saw that person again, thinking that he was right, and he didn't stand up to provide clues at that time, he was afraid that Tuoba Yue would blame, but the matter had come to this point, Wei Zhongliang had to fight, so that Tuoba Yue could spare his life for the sake of his honesty.

Tuoba Yue thought of Gao Yuan's strange injury, thought of Gao Yuan's concern for He Xi, and he faintly felt that the truth was in front of his eyes, as long as he stretched out his hand, he could pierce it.

No, what that person is looking for is not Xiao Nai, it is He Xi, Wei Zhongliang doesn't know, the woman from southern Xinjiang is not only Xiao Nai, this is why, Xiao Nai was unscathed when he was found, it must be because he knew that he had caught the wrong person.

As for whether the person who poisoned himself in the first place was Xiao Nai, presumably only Lan Zhili knew.

Tuoba Yue looked at Wei Zhongliang who was prostrate on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Murdering the king is a capital crime-"

Wei Zhongliang's breath was uneven, like a dying fish, gasping for breath, he suddenly gave birth to a thought, he touched the ground with his forehead, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, although the minister is a capital crime, but the minister is still useful——"

Fu Qing snorted coldly and said, "Imperial Doctor Wei, you have done a lot of things over the years, you are loyal to the Lan family, and you have not contributed less to the affairs of Mu Wangfu back then, what face do you have to ask Your Majesty for forgiveness?" ”

Wei Zhongliang gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, although the minister's talent is not as good as Lu Chuan, but since Your Majesty has discovered the matter of Gu poison, and it has not been solved until now, it must be that Lu Chuan is also powerless——"

He slowed down and continued: "The minister is incompetent, but the minister knows that person, if that person finds out that he has caught the wrong person, he will inevitably turn back and look for the minister, and at that time—then His Majesty's Gu poison will be cured, if the minister is dead, he must feel that the matter has been exposed, and he will not dare to show his face——"

He looked like he was pulling at the last straw, but he didn't know that the straw he had hoped for had long since broken.

Tuoba Yue was a little tired when he heard him inadvertently mention He Xi's death, and he said slowly: "That person is dead, and the person he is looking for is no longer in this world-"

Wei Zhongliang only felt a dullness in his chest, and all his hopes collapsed at this moment.

He was so limp on the ground that he could no longer stand upright.

Suddenly, a little eunuch's voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, the county lord of Anguo asks to see-"

A trace of embarrassment flashed in Wei Zhongliang's eyes, but Tuoba Yue ignored it and said, "Please come in." ”

After a while, I saw a woman in plain clothes stepping in, it was Wei Hongsleeves, she was a delicate young woman, but this failed marriage and Rambo's torture forced her into a dim shadow in the years.

Her slender body seemed to be able to be blown down by a gust of wind, but with determination on her face, she just glanced at Wei Zhongliang, then turned around and bowed down, leaned down and kowtowed again.
