Chapter 81 The Demon Girl Disaster (Confrontation)
Lao Dao insisted that the person who caused the emperor's eldest grandson to suffer from a vicious disease was Xiao Lingxiao, and she did not come back from the dead, but has been possessed by demons since then. After the emperor heard the old way, he immediately called Xiao Shuyong. Along the way, there were already eunuchs who told Xiao Shuyong what happened, Xiao Shuyong had already made a plan, if the emperor really ordered to kill Xiao Lingxiao, he still had to take great pains to stop it, and Xiao Lingxiao was possessed by demons, for the sake of the Xiao family's reputation in the future, it was absolutely impossible to admit it. In the end, if the emperor had to kill Xiao Lingxiao, he would definitely have to compensate Xiao Shuyong and the Xiao family for this, so that in addition to Xiao Lingxiao, he could get benefits from the emperor, which can be described as the best of both worlds.
He came to the inner hall with this thought, and after giving the salute, he heard the emperor ask, "Xiao Aiqing seems to be very busy, I heard that your third brother's son was kidnapped, and he asked you for a million taels of silver?" Have you been saved? ”
Unexpectedly, the emperor asked about this matter, Xiao Shuyong hurriedly responded, "Your Majesty, the thief is cunning, and the whereabouts of the minister's nephew are still unknown." ”
Hearing this, the emperor nodded, "The person who captured your nephew and the one who injured Jing Xuan are the same group." By the way, I also heard that Aiqing, you lost a million taels in the blink of an eye, this is big enough, even I was surprised when I heard it. ”
When Xiao Shuyong heard the emperor's words, he was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground and explained, "Your Majesty, the thief passed the letter and asked the Xiao family to exchange one million taels of silver for the minister's nephew, but the Xiao family couldn't make up such a large sum of silver, fortunately, Xiao Lingxiao, the daughter of Weichen, ......" As soon as he said this name, Xiao Shuyong was shocked to think of something, and the words were a pause, but he immediately came back to his senses and hurriedly continued, "The little girl is stubborn, she secretly participated in Wanguanzhuang's Wanjin gambling some time ago, and she didn't know how to win two million taels of silver. This money is all from Weichen's daughter. It's a shame to say that the minister also gave the little girl an IOU for this, and Wechen is now also a person with heavy debts......"
Xiao Shuyong, as the prime minister, not only knows the emperor's temper, but also understands the financial resources of this Wuqi country, if the Xiao family can casually gather one million taels of silver in one day, then even if the emperor doesn't say it now, he will definitely find a way to knock the Xiao family hard in the future. Therefore, Xiao Shuyong must clarify this matter immediately, even if he gives up the face of the money he owes his daughter, he will never show how rich the Xiao family is.
"And such things? Hahahaha......" The emperor laughed loudly when he heard this, glanced at the old Dao who had been kneeling there, and said jokingly, "This girl of the Xiao family can earn back two million taels of silver with a shot, it seems that it is really a bit strange." ”
As soon as Liao Xuan heard the emperor's words, he hurriedly opened his mouth to defend Xiao Lingxiao and said, "Your Majesty, the poor monk heard that the owner of Wanguanzhuang has a strange temperament, maybe he was curious about Miss Xiao's resurrection from the dead, and he deliberately approached to let her win the gamble." ”
"Really?" The emperor smiled and waved his hand, paused, and then said, "By the way, it's still Kang'er's illness that matters." He lowered his face and asked Xiao Shuyong, "Some people say that the girl in your family was possessed by demons, in order to harm the imperial city and let Kang'er get sick, what do you say?" ”
Xiao Shuyong had a plan, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and then said with a straight face, "Your Majesty, this demonic theory has existed since ancient times, but there are very few people who have really seen demons and evils. Wechen didn't dare to say that others were deep or shallow, but the daughter of Wechen lived in the minister's mansion and there was nothing unusual. The matter of her resurrection from the dead was also explained by the monks at the beginning, that is, she was virtuous and blessed, and her life should not be extinguished. As for the illness of the emperor's eldest grandson, according to Weichen's opinion, it is better to summon the world's divine doctors to diagnose and treat the emperor's eldest grandson as soon as possible, so as not to miss the opportunity. ”
Xiao Shuyong said, and deliberately glanced at Qi Guifei next to him with extremely sincere eyes, and then looked at Xuan again.
Xiao Shuyong had already seen that although this divine monk Xuan Xuan had always seemed to be on the outside, he always seemed to be partial to Xiao Lingxiao's affairs. The monk protected Xiao Lingxiao, although he didn't quite understand the reason, Xiao Shuyong felt that this point could be used by him at this time.
Liao Xuan saw Xiao Shuyong's gaze for help, and he felt very uncomfortable, but the most important thing now was to clear Xiao Lingxiao's suspicion, he could only act at the opportunity and cooperate with Xiao Shuyong.
"Your Majesty, the poor monk also feels that it is really inappropriate to pin the hope of the emperor's eldest grandson of healing on the theory of evil and evil."
After the two of them said this, the old Dao who was kneeling on the ground suddenly raised his head, as if he had been let out, and said in a loud voice, "The poor monk dares to use decades of cultivation and this head to guarantee that as long as the poor Dao destroys that demon, not only the illness of the emperor's eldest grandson will be cured, but also the other infected people in the imperial city will be cured immediately!" Could it be that Xiao Lingxiao's life is more important than the emperor's eldest grandson and so many people! The emperor is sage! ”
The emperor listened to this expressionlessly, and turned his gaze to Xiao Shuyong.
Xiao Shuyong showed a sad and indignant face, and said, "Although the little girl is stubborn, she is the child left by Weichen's deceased wife...... The daughter of Weichen is of course insignificant compared to the eldest grandson of the emperor, but just because this Taoist priest said that there is no basis for this, he will take the life of the little girl, which is unacceptable......"
"The poor road is not unfounded, if the emperor allows it, the poor road can make the demon show its original form on the spot!"
Xiao Shuyong's words hit the heart of the old way, and the old man hurriedly straightened his waist and said to the emperor with confidence, "It doesn't matter if the emperor doesn't believe in the poor road, just call that Xiao Lingxiao here, let the poor road cast a spell, if the demon appears as a prototype, ask the emperor to kill it, and then see if the emperor's eldest grandson's condition can improve, if it doesn't improve, the poor road will sacrifice his head to make amends." If Poor Dao fails to let the demon show its original form, Poor Dao is willing to use human heads to make amends! ”
The old Taoist said this resolutely, and when Concubine Qi saw that the fire was coming, she also stepped forward and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Kang'er's current condition cannot be delayed......
The emperor glanced at her, snorted, and turned his head to look at Xiao Shuyong.
Of course, Xiao Shuyong understood what the emperor meant, although he felt embarrassed, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "In this case, only one test can restore my daughter's innocence." also asked the emperor to call the shots and summon the little girl into the palace, then the Taoist chief verified it in front of the emperor. ”
The emperor nodded, this is accurate.
The eunuch went out of the palace to summon Xiao Lingxiao, this matter was already a foregone conclusion, and Xuan couldn't stop it, but he looked at the old way carefully, and soon saw a little mystery.
At this time, in the Qinghe Courtyard, Xiao Lingxiao was entangled with Xiao Fengming.
"You guy...... Can you honestly stay in the wolf clan for a few days! Xiao Lingxiao glared at Xiao Fengming, who was smiling like a flower, with an angry face, and she didn't know what to do with this person. The person who should be hiding is in and out of her inner room more frequently than before, and he seems to have turned his current situation into an extremely convenient excuse, every time he comes, it is either a sneak attack or the two of them are alone, even Bao Rong'er has to go out to take care of him, he is really proud.
The smug guy waved his hand lightly and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm very careful and will never be discovered." And ah, I can't go out and walk around now, and where can I go without you coming here? ”
"Go back to the wolf clan to practice martial arts!" Xiao Lingxiao snorted, and Bao Rong'er still said that Feng Ming used to be a martial arts idiot, and he was obsessed with practicing martial arts all day long and didn't do anything else at all. Seeing him like this now, where is he stupid?
Unexpectedly, Xiao Fengming raised his head when he heard this, "My martial arts have reached the peak!" ”
Xiao Lingxiao couldn't help but sneer when she heard this, "Your subordinates are defeated, you are embarrassed to brag in front of me!" ”
"Ahh That one doesn't count! Anyone who uses spells can't count! Xiao Fengming retorted seriously.
"What do you say? I only used the power of the Divine Wolf at that time, but I didn't use its spells! If you don't believe me, we'll try again, and you'll have to be my loser!" ”
The two laughed and quarreled, not giving an inch. At this moment, the door opened, and Bao Rong'er walked in with a frown.
"Master, someone from the palace said that he wanted to summon you into the palace. The patriarch also passed the word...... "As she spoke, Bao Rong'er stretched out her hand and saw that she was holding a small fluffy lump in her palm, Xiao Lingxiao leaned over to take a closer look, only to find that it was a small gray-haired wolf.
Bao Rong'er explained that this thing was conjured by the wolf clan's sound transmission spell, and the little wolf brought a message and briefly said what was happening in the palace now.
Xiao Lingxiao listened, and her face sank.
The arrangement of the eldest lady is already clear, she is using King Mude to kill Xiao Fengming, and on the other hand, she is using Qi Guifei to come to the emperor to create rumors, which is obviously to press Xiao Lingxiao step by step and kill them all!
"Ling Xiao, the other party is prepared, you can't throw yourself into the net, if you enter the palace, it will be difficult to come out again." Xiao Fengming also tightened his brows, thinking in his heart that if he hadn't lost so many secret guards this time, maybe it would have been much easier to move, but in this state, if Xiao Lingxiao entered the palace, he was not ten percent sure that he would be able to rescue her.
But I saw Xiao Lingxiao smile slightly, "Feng Ming, what are you nervous about, then the old Tao said to verify whether I am a demon or not, I am not a demon in the first place, what are you afraid of him?" Xiao Lingxiao's smile was cold, she knew that she was going to meet the challenge of the enemy and start fighting with those people to the death.
"But......" Xiao Fengming looked at Xiao Lingxiao, seeing that there seemed to be something hidden in her cold smile, and couldn't help but sigh.
Xiao Lingxiao didn't plan to explain anything to Xiao Fengming now, since she asked him to tell his secret after this matter was over, then on the other hand, she didn't plan to have any secrets to him anymore. Xiao Lingxiao figured it out, no matter how the relationship between the two develops in the future, she will take the trust at this moment as the standard. She wants to tell Xiao Fengming that she came here from another world, and tell him about her trust in him, so that the two will have an extra bond, and maybe in the future, this bond can also become a continuous thread between them.
