Sure enough, according to the reports of his subordinates, Xiao Zhi hurried back to Ningguo after handling all the things.

"Your Majesty, do you want the minister to summon the little marquis into the palace."

Emperor Xian waved his hand: "No need, he will come." ”

This person who was nagged by His Majesty has returned to the Hou Mansion and is reading the latest Di newspaper at the moment.

Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he said to the servant who was standing aside and waiting, "Change clothes and prepare horses, I want to see Your Majesty." ”

Summer is approaching, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the palace has prepared mung bean soup to cool off.

Inside the Imperial Study.

The man who was kneeling on the ground and standing upright looked at the mung bean soup on the table that was still steaming, and was slightly stunned.

"You kid, you're going to talk about it when you see me today?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. The minister was guilty, and under selfishness, he wanted to save Bhagava. It's a pity that in the end, she couldn't even collect the bones for her. ”

Emperor Xian shook his head slightly: "You get up and speak first." After that, he said to Li Gonggong: "Go and bring a bowl of mung bean soup to the little marquis to cool off." ”

Xiao Zhi slowly got up: "Your Majesty." ”

"Bhagavad is dead, and you are very sad?"

"She has the grace to save her life, but the minister has not been able to repay it."

Emperor Xian's face showed kindness: "I guess, it's not just a life-saving grace. You still have a love for her. ”

"Your Majesty thinks so?"

"It's not just me, it's the whole world that sees it this way."

Xiao Zhi's eyes were firm: "The minister has no other feelings for Bogavad now, not to mention that the minister already has someone to belong to. ”

"Oh?"

Emperor Xian looked puzzled, he had never heard of it.

He is still very concerned about Xiao Xiaohou's marriage, after all, he has grown up since he was a child.

"Then you might as well tell me, I can make decisions for you."

The corners of Xiao Zhi's mouth hooked slightly: "Thank Your Majesty for your kindness, Your Majesty also knows what kind of person the minister is." The most important thing is to be happy with each other, and there are some things that you need to fight for. ”

Emperor Xian laughed and said, "Good, good." Then I wish you a beautiful home. ”

"When the time comes, Your Majesty will have to do a lot of it."

"I'll talk about it when you two are happy. Let's continue with what we just did. Bhagavad's death, you should also investigate this time, what is the reason? ”

Xiao Zhi looked at Emperor Xian's slightly frowning brows and said, "Bogha's case has not been investigated in depth, nor has it been delayed, but it has been decided and executed in a hurry. And the officials who preside over the case have already condemned her to death. ”

"It's as if I've been instructed to do so from above. The minister ventured to visit the palace of Northern Qi at night and asked the relevant imperial doctors on the day of the crime, and they all said that there was no problem with Bogavad's method of diagnosis and the medicine prescribed that day, and they could not tell what went wrong in the middle. ”

Later, the minister sneaked into the house of the Criminal Department and the presiding judge Wu Ya and turned over the file. An autopsy is poisoning, and the poison should have been added to the medicine. However, after examination in the residue, this substance is very toxic, and within a quarter of an hour, the poisoned person will die silently and painfully. The poison does not grow in Beiqi, because it resembles a plant called Poison Kiss Grass in the south. The exact place of origin remains to be checked. ”

After Emperor Xian heard this, his brows stretched slightly, which was almost the same as he expected.

However, the stakes are too high to be conclusive.

But now, the confrontation between Northern Qi and Southern Chu is deadlocked, and it is not appropriate to drag it on.

So he spoke: "In this way, you go to check quickly, you can read all the books in the palace in the past few days, and you can also go to the Tai Hospital to inquire, but if it doesn't work, you will send someone to Nanchu, and you will definitely make the source of this thing clear." ”

Xiao Zhi replied: "Your Majesty suspects that Nan Chu is making trouble himself?" ”

"I do have that in mind."

However, even if we can figure out where it grows, it cannot be ruled out that someone else obtained it by means and then planted the blame. The aim is to provoke contradictions between the two countries. ”

"What does Aiqing think?"

"Now the people who may be doing tricks and feet in it are the eunuchs and palace maids who are responsible for decocting the medicine, the ones who deliver the medicine halfway, and the people who test the poison with silver needles, and the people who feed Chu Proton to drink the medicine, these people must all be investigated."

Emperor Xian's face was a little heavy: "There are so many people, it is impossible for you to inquire one by one, and it will also alarm the Northern Qi royal family." ”

Xiao Zhi smiled slightly: "Unfortunately, the minister really moved this idea." After all, he is his savior, no matter what, the minister will definitely find out the truth. ”

When Emperor Xian heard this, he was a little angry and said: "Xiao Zhi! ”

"Please forgive your majesty for the crime of ten thousand deaths, but this move did not alarm Beiqi. Because, all of the above people are dead. ”

"Dead?"

"Yes, instigated by someone with a heart, the emperor of Northern Qi directly ordered a cadre and others to be executed."

It's really a twist and turn.

Xiao Zhi sighed and continued: "That person with a heart is none other than Sima Yansheng, the Great of Northern Qi. ”

"Then who is this Yan Sheng?"

"The minister has investigated Yansheng's mansion, this person's whereabouts are secretive, and he often meets people in the inn, and then the minister found out the person who met with him, and it is really a native of Southern Chu."

It's so complicated, but in this way, it's clear.

"Then according to your meaning, as long as it is confirmed that the poison comes from Nanchu, the evidence will be conclusive."

"That's right! The human and material evidence are all there, and Nan Chu can't deny it at all. ”

"Good!" Emperor Xian said with a smile: "You did a very good job in this matter, this is meritorious, and you should have been rewarded, but you went to Beiqi by yourself without reporting it, and this has happened." If the merits and demerits are offset, I will not pursue it. ”

Xiao Zhi hurriedly knelt down: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your magnanimity." ”

"You go ahead and check first. As soon as the physical evidence is obtained, it will be reported immediately. I want to use this to make them fight without fighting. ”

……

Xiao Zhi walked out of the imperial study and breathed a sigh of relief, thanks to his thorough preparation this time, otherwise he would definitely be punished by His Majesty.

It's just that His Majesty said just now that the whole world knows that he loves Bhagava.

How can it be so exaggerated.

She...... Do you think so?

I'll have to let her know.

Xiao Zhi stopped and thought for a long time.

……

Song Yao hadn't done a good job of Hua Niang's affairs, so she received an invitation from Xu Shuyou again.

Alas......

It's really easy to use her.

I had to take Xue Yun and go to Miaoshou Hall again.

"What's the matter with Boss Xu calling me?" Song Yao looked helpless on her face.

"Ziyou, you're here, sit." Xu Shuyou looked excited.

"Just say it."

"This time, the master has given you an easier task,"

"What?"

Xu Shuyou leaned over and whispered, "You know Xiao Zhi's little marquis." ”

"Yes."

"The master wants you to pretend to be a maid and serve in the little marquis's mansion, and you must find out the person that the little marquis likes."

Song Yao suspected that she had heard it wrong, and looked puzzled: "The master is so gossipy?" ”

Xu Shuyou asked rhetorically, "What is gossip?" ”

"Oh, no. It's just that my face has been seen by the little marquis, how can I pretend to be a maid and he doesn't know? ”

Xu Shuyou showed a smug look: "You forget, I have the art of disguise, and when the time comes, I will pretend to be his personal maid Shanqin, and I will replace you in a month." ”

thought of Xiao Zhi's phoenix eyes......

Song Yao shook unconsciously: "What kind of bad idea is this?" Could it be that Xu Shuyou deliberately manipulated her. No, no, he'll find out. ”
