Prime Minister Xie glanced at the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, who was glaring at him, and smiled faintly.

Why laugh? Because he saw the fear and worry that Shaoqing of Dali Temple couldn't hide in his eyes.

Prime Minister Xie walked in front of the emperor, opened his robe without saying a word, knelt on the ground, and "I beg Your Majesty to make decisions for the son and daughter-in-law of the old minister." ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.

Prime Minister Xie's son and daughter-in-law, isn't that the husband and wife who defeated Beidi eighteen years ago, but both died in battle?

You must know that many people in Nanyu respect this couple very much.

It's not that this couple is so powerful, just think about it, Xie Ya was originally a literati, but he abandoned literature and went to the battlefield for the sake of Nanyu. And Xie Ya's wife, Zhang, was even more reluctant to let her eyebrows go, and followed her husband to the battlefield to give him advice.

Xie Ranran, Chen Zhiyan, and even Xie Shi were all shocked, looking at Old Prime Minister Xie incredulously.

Looking at Shaoqing and Yu Shangshu of Dali Temple again, Shaoqing of Dali Temple glared at Prime Minister Xie in horror and anger, while Yu Shangshu lowered his head slightly, unable to see his expression clearly.

Finally, looking at the emperor, his current expression doesn't know which word to use to describe it.

Fly into a rage? Iron-faced? Irritable and bored?

I'm afraid these are all suitable for the way he is now.

"Is there anything wrong with your son and daughter-in-law?" The emperor was very depressed, and his tone of voice was very stiff.

Prime Minister Xie took out a large stack of documents from his sleeve and presented it to the emperor with both hands, "Your Majesty, the old minister has investigated, and the old minister's son and daughter-in-law were murdered by the Shaoqing of Dali Temple." ”

As soon as these words came out, no one paid attention to the charred Shujing Pavilion, but looked at Prime Minister Xie in surprise, and glared at Shaoqing of Dali Temple angrily.

There is no need to say that Prime Minister Xie Laocheng's reputation in Nanyu is needless to say, as for Shaoqing of Dali Temple, his nephews and relatives have borrowed his name to cause trouble among the people, so when Prime Minister Xie said such things, many people present were willing to believe him.

However, the emperor was in a very unhappy mood now, and took a stack of books and documents in the hands of Prime Minister Xie, and didn't look at it, "It's been eighteen years, what does it mean that the Prime Minister turned this matter out?" ”

The emperor hates Fu Siyi and the Fu family, but it doesn't mean that he likes the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Empress Xia only stared at Fu Siyi, who had fainted, "Your Majesty, let's settle Miss Fu's matter first, right?" As for the matter of the Prime Minister, why don't you go to the imperial study and talk about it? ”

The emperor recognized Empress Xia's words for a rare time, and nodded, "Come on, take Fu Siyi to the heavenly prison!" The remainder...... If you're daring, follow along. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves away.

Chen Zhiyan didn't dare to blink after reading everything that happened just now, for fear of missing something, and when he saw the emperor leaving, he poked Xie Fanghua's arm, "Sister, should we go and see it together?" ”

Xie Fanghua didn't stop her, "Let's go." ”

There are not many people who keep up with the emperor, but there are also many of them.

Concubine Wang Shu smelled the burnt smell for too long, and her head was a little dizzy, so she went back to Yanfei Palace first. Lin Jieyu was sent back to her palace.

In the imperial study, the emperor sat on the top, Empress Xia and Concubine Yu stood on both sides, Prime Minister Xie looked up at the emperor and stood in the middle, and Shaoqing of Dali Temple lowered his head.

Changdi was looking at those brochures, and Prime Minister Xie explained: "Your Majesty, those brochures are all evidence of the crime of Shaoqing of Dali Temple who murdered the son and daughter-in-law of the old minister, and there are some lists in them, which are the people involved in this matter, and there are also ......"

The emperor only looked at it, and didn't even listen to the words of Prime Minister Xie, so he directly threw the stack of brochures and documents in front of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and one of the brochures hit him in the face and slipped down.

"What do you have to say?" The Emperor asked coldly.

Shaoqing of Dali Temple was not as flustered as he was just now.

He only has one daughter in his life, Fu Siyi, and now that his daughter is gone, what is the use of him struggling all his life?

Smiling self-deprecatingly, Shaoqing of Dali Temple knelt down and hung his head, his head was next to the ground, and his voice was choked, "Weichen has nothing to say." ”

The emperor really wants to say now, 'count you as acquaintances'.

He's really irritable right now.

"Since that's the case...... the emperor opened his mouth to convict, but was interrupted by Shaoqing of Dali Temple: "Your Majesty, can you release the daughter of the guilty minister?" Siyi, she would never do such a thing as arson. ”

The emperor sneered, ignored the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and only said his own: "From today on, you are no longer Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and you will be demoted to the Eight Grades of Xuelu and fined for three years." ”

Shaoqing of Dali Temple raised his head suddenly.

The emperor did not condemn him to death?

The desperate heart gradually became less numb, and the Shaoqing of Dali Temple hurriedly kowtowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty-" His head broke, and it hurt, and finally he simply stopped looking up.

Today's banquet must be the worst time the emperor has held in these years, he was not in the mood to continue to participate, so he asked Empress Xia to watch it herself, and finally brushed her sleeves away.

Xie Fanghua and the others didn't care about how Empress Xia would deal with the aftermath, they just stepped forward and walked up to Prime Minister Xie.

Xie Eran kept his head down, and no one paid attention to him except Chen Zhiyan.

"Xie Enran, your father's revenge has also been avenged, don't worry about it in the future." Chen Zhiyi walked over and comforted.

Although Shaoqing of Dali Temple was not convicted of capital crimes, for Fu Xuelu, who pursued fame and fortune all his life, this demotion and reduction of his post was already a very heavy blow. What's more, his most beloved daughter Fu Siyi was thrown into prison, which can basically be said to be a dead end.

Xie Eran couldn't be happier.

So is Prime Minister Xie.

Although they took revenge, Xie Ya and his wife couldn't survive.

Queen Xia looked at this family and asked Yu Guifei to go out together, even though Yu Guifei didn't want to listen to Queen Xia, but seeing Yu Shangshu nodding to herself, she left.

Yu Shangshu was the last of these people to leave the imperial study, he glanced at Old Prime Minister Xie, sneered, and then raised his steps to go out.

Xie frowned, looked at the old prime minister Xie who hung his head, and shouted, "Father." ”

Prime Minister Xie's body trembled, and he was very excited with joy.

Eighteen years......

Eighteen long years.

He avenged his son and daughter-in-law, not to mention how happy he was.

However, Xie Fanghua felt that this matter was not over, of course, she didn't want to add pressure to Prime Minister Xie and Xie Enran, and the last thing could be left to her.

"I really didn't expect that Your Majesty would punish Fu Xuelu so easily." Prime Minister Xie said.

No one thought that the emperor would be so easy to punish, nor did he expect Fu Xuelu to confess so easily.

Of course it's not easy.

The emperor's anger and irritability, Fu Xuelu's despair and helplessness, this was enough to make this case end in a hurry.

Xie didn't understand this, she only knew that she understood things, and the knot in the heart of Prime Minister Xie for eighteen years was also knotted, so she comforted him. Chen Zhiyan comforted Xie Eran. Only Xie Fanghua was expressionless, but in his heart he was really happy for Prime Minister Xie and Xie Enran.

"Zhiyi, I think this matter is too sudden," Xie Ran lowered his head slightly and said, "I haven't paid anything yet." ”

Chen Zhiyi patted him on the shoulder, "It's okay, the matter is understood, and we will all have to live well in the future." ”

Xie Lenran nodded, then walked towards Xie Fanghua and exhaled lightly, "Cousin, I know you have done a lot for this matter secretly, thank you." ”

He has no ability to avenge his parents, and I am afraid that he will never be able to get over this hurdle in his heart.

Xie Fanghua smiled faintly, "Silly brother, you and I grew up together, why do you say these polite words?" ”

Prime Minister Xie also looked at Xie Fanghua, "Fanghua, you kid...... What happened to Wanhuayu and Shujing Pavilion was all planned by you, right? ”

Sending sachets during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Fu Siyi will definitely go to Wanhuayu to pick flowers, and then use Lin Jieyu to let Fu Siyi catch fire, and finally be punished to go to the Shujing Pavilion to copy books, until the Mid-Autumn Festival.

That fire was put by Lin Jieyu, and in order not to let others suspect her, she ruined her appearance. As for the flint, of course, Lin Jieyu stuffed it in when Fu Siyi wasn't paying attention. And Xiao Huizi and Xiao Yezi, the two chamberlains, were all bought by Xie Fanghua using the identity of a red girl.

Xie Fanghua couldn't guarantee how the emperor would punish Fu Siyi, but her general plan was like this. When there is a slight change in the enemy's situation, she will also change her plan according to this change.

This is Xie Fanghua.

However, it was impossible for her to tell Prime Minister Xie Laocheng, so she just smiled and nodded.

Prime Minister Xie felt very sorry for Xie Fanghua.

It's heart-wrenching.

Xie Shi also felt like this, she always felt that Xie Fanghua, her daughter, was far smarter and stronger than she thought.

"Sister is so smart!" Chen Zhiyi smiled.

Xie Fanghua also smiled, "The banquet is not over yet, if you are fine, go and have a look." I was a little tired, so I went back first. ”

They all responded, and saw Xie Fanghua take the lead out of the imperial study.

Qingzhi was waiting for her outside, and when she saw Xie Fanghua coming out, she hurriedly greeted her, "Niangniang." ”

Xie Fanghua glanced at her, "Go find Lin Jieyu." ”

When Xie Fanghua went, Lin Jieyu had already woken up, and she was the only one in the hall, and she was sitting at the table. The room was dark, except for a candle lit on the table.

Lin Jieyu wore a veil, her eyes were dim, and when she noticed that someone was coming, she got up, "Xie Zhaoyi? ”

Xie Fanghua sat down, Qingzhi felt that this place was too dark, and wanted to order a few more candles, but was stopped by Lin Jieyu, "Don't!" ”

Qingzhi's body stiffened.

"Qingzhi, you don't need to light the lamp." Xie Fanghua knew Lin Jieyu's thoughts.

The women's team cares a lot about their appearance, but now that Lin Jieyu has ruined half of her face, she naturally doesn't want others to even see that face, so she stopped Qingzhi.

After listening to Xie Fanghua's words, Qingzhi had no choice but to stop and stand beside her in a regular manner.

"Zhaoyi Niangniang, thank you." For Xie Fanghua's carefulness, Lin Jieyu was also very pleased.

"Yes, I want to thank you." Xie Fanghua looked down at the table and did not look directly at Lin Jieyu.
