When Prime Minister Xiao heard that Concubine Xiao Shu was demoted to the position of concubine and was taking a lunch break when she entered the cold palace, he almost rolled off the bed in excitement, stretched out his hand to hold the pillar of the curtain and sat firmly, looked at the person kneeling on the ground, and asked gloomily, "What did you just say?" ”

The person who came was the eunuch who was waiting in Concubine Xiao's palace, and after listening to Prime Minister Xiao's questioning, he trembled and said, "Back to Xiangye, Niangniang was found because she poisoned the county lord of Changning... was beaten into the cold palace by the emperor. ”

Prime Minister Xiao stood up suddenly, "How is this possible!" After speaking, he only felt dizzy, stretched out his hand to hold the bed tent, and said angrily, "Don't hurry up and prepare the car, I want to see the emperor!" ”

The eunuch hurriedly went out, and Prime Minister Xiao suddenly shouted, "Go to the Three Princes' Mansion to invite the Three Princes, and go to the Champion Hou Mansion to invite Duan Hou Ye to enter the palace with me!" Go and inform the squire of the Criminal Department and the scholars of the Hanlin Academy to let them speak! ”

The guards took the order and left.

On the other side, Qiao Shoufu, who received the news from the queen, sat on the Taishi chair in the flower hall, frowning slightly, a trace of contemplation flashed in his eyes, and soon he put away the letter, raised his eyes and glanced at the eunuch kneeling on the ground, "You go back to your mother first, let her manage the harem, don't let the concubines of the harem panic, and leave the rest to me." ”

The eunuch was ordered to retreat, and at this time, Old Madam Qiao came over and personally pinched Qiao Shoufu's head, Qiao Shoufu closed his eyes and was quiet for a moment, patted Old Madam Qiao's hand, and sighed, "Okay, I should also enter the palace." ”

Old Madam Qiao sighed, "But what happened?" ”

"What could happen?" Qiao Shoufu patted his wife's hand and said, "It's nothing more than a struggle for power, someone can't get rid of it, but he can't get rid of it, he put himself in, and now he is struggling." ”

A trace of surprise flashed on Old Madam Qiao's face, "Xiao family? ”

Qiao Shoufu smiled and nodded, "It's just that this time, I'm afraid, the emperor won't compromise easily, and Xiao Yan won't compromise easily." ”

"Who did they get rid of?" Old Madam Qiao chuckled and said, "He didn't pay attention to the prince's affairs last time, who is so decent that the emperor is upset for him?" ”

Qiao Shoufu shook his head and smiled, "Where can the prince be worthy of the true destiny of the heavenly daughter, the one who wins the heavenly girl wins the world, compared to the Great Zhou, the whole world is the real temptation." After saying that, he asked people to prepare court clothes, and said, "Besides, although she is the county lord of the Great Zhou, she is the true daughter of the world, if she dies, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos, so this time the emperor has the upper hand, even if Xiao Yan makes trouble, he can only go home in the end." ”

"Then what are you going to do?" Old Madam Qiao waved off her subordinates and dressed Qiao Shoufu in person, "Since it is destined that Xiao Yan will lose, why don't you live a quiet life at home." ”

Qiao Shoufu laughed, "We can't leave all our troubles to the emperor, otherwise the emperor will regret giving us money." ”

On the upper body of the court clothes, Mrs. Qiao brought a dark coat and put it on Qiao Shoufu, Qiao Shoufu let his wife dress him, and after he was dressed, he walked out, and said as he walked, "Go and call all my students, so I will enter the palace together." ”

Qiao Shoufu, as the first assistant of the cabinet, is naturally full of students all over the world, and the people invited by Prime Minister Xiao Cheng are all high-ranking officials, so he will ask him to speak.

Prime Minister Xiao Cheng saw Duan Chenhuan who came in a hurry at the gate of the palace, Sun Shangchong, the waiter of the Criminal Department, and You He, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, he took a step forward, raised his hands, and bowed, "Thank you." ”

"Xiangye is serious." After the three of them returned the salute, they walked quickly to the palace with Xiao Yan.

In the main hall, the emperor looked at Prime Minister Xiao Cheng who was kneeling on the ground, his face was calm, he couldn't see any emotion, and he couldn't hear a trace of waves in his tone, he reached out and took a book of music and looked down, and asked, "Prime Minister Xiao entered the palace at this time, what happened?" ”

Xiao Yan saw that the emperor didn't care why he entered the palace at all, or didn't mention his daughter being beaten into the cold palace at all, his heart was furious, but his face remained calm, he was still kneeling on the ground, but his body was straight, he asked, "Your Majesty, what did Concubine Xiao Shu do?" ”

A cold light flashed in the emperor's eyes, he looked at Xiao Yan who was kneeling on the ground, and the music in his hand was still on the table, and looked at Xiao Yan who was kneeling on the ground coldly, "Prime Minister Xiao really doesn't know?" ”

"The minister is stupid, please let the emperor know!" As soon as Xiao Yan's words fell, a eunuch said that the three princes had arrived, Xiao Yan looked up at the emperor and said, "If the emperor can't give a reasonable explanation for the dethronement of Concubine Xiao Shu, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the three princes and the courtiers!" ”

The Emperor sneered, "I think it will chill your hearts." ”

Xiao Yan bowed to the ground again and shouted, "The emperor is sage." ”

The third prince also came in and knelt down, there was no expression on his face, but there was a cold light in his eyes, he said, "Please let my father and emperor see and return my mother's innocence!" ”

From hearing the news, he knew that he had fallen into Qin Changning's trap again, Qin Changning had hurt him again, she said so much in his mansion that day, just to wait for him to come to her, and then she could give her a heavy blow, sure enough, the charge of poisoning the true daughter of the princess and the prince was enough to kill their heads.

But she didn't die, his mother was just beaten into the cold palace, and he would lose the throne again, and she would take everything he cared about.

He knew everything she had to do, but he couldn't figure out why she was doing it!

"The evidence is conclusive, how can she be cleared?" The emperor looked coldly at the people kneeling on the ground, and said angrily, "This is in front of my eyes, poisoning Qin Changning, don't you know what Qin Changning's identity is?" Don't you know what Qingcheng Mountain is? Don't you know who the real person is! After speaking, he stood up angrily, "King Jin did not pursue Concubine Xiao Shu's problem, it is already a great luck, and there are too many real people, how are you going to explain!" ”

"Your Majesty, you can't just say a few words from a Taoist priest..."

"Jianghu Taoist?" Qiao Shoufu's old but calm voice came from outside the hall, he sneered, and walked in, "Taixu Zhenren has existed since the reign of Emperor Taizu in the past, who in the world doesn't know that Taixu Zhenren is a master of Taoism and a guest of honor in the world, but Taixu Zhenren has always been in my Great Zhou, what does this mean?" This shows that the real people are guarding the real destiny! ”

Qiao Shoufu stretched out his hand to follow a kind of cabinet officials, and they all saluted the emperor with Qiao Shoufu, and the emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at the few people he stretched out, and shook his head in his heart, thinking, it seems that I will listen to this group of literati singing again today.

Prime Minister Xiao Cheng was furious, he stood up, and Qiao Shoufu immediately said, "Prime Minister Xiao Cheng is so bold, the emperor hasn't shouted yet, you actually flatten yourself, where do you think the monarch is?" Do you still have our Son of Heaven in your eyes? ”

Prime Minister Xiao was stunned, knelt back again, and glared at Qiao Shoufu angrily, "You are spewing blood!" ”
