195: Redress
(Cat pounces Chinese) how to bear it? Shizi put one hand behind his back, and after listening to her words, he thought about it.
Nan Zhao thought that he had moved him, and his eyes were full of anticipation, hoping to hear his answer that he had changed his mind, but after thinking about it again, the other party finally told her
"The story you're telling is interesting, but that's not enough!" After hearing this, her heart sank, and she said eagerly
"If His Royal Highness the Prince has any requests to mention, Nan Zhao will do my best to complete them!" Shizi smiled faintly,
"Actually, if you change something else, this son is willing to do a personal favor, but this matter is very important, and it is such a sensitive time, not interfering in other domestic strife is the bottom line, although this son is not a hero, but it is a principle not to fall into the ground!" He didn't ask for anything, he just wanted her to forget to see her when she got out of here tonight.
Nan Zhao was really helpless, she also saw that this prince of Hongguo was close on the surface, and he seemed to have no city government, but in fact, he was very alert and organized, and she came in vain tonight!
People are already inviting guests to leave, and she can't stay here all the time begging, wasting time doing useless work, meaningless.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for giving the little girl time and listening to that story! The little girl said goodbye first! She bowed again and slowly exited the room.
Coming out of the post station, standing on the deserted street, looking at the half-round clear moon in the night sky overhead, my heart was very lost.
Brother Jiu is in a predicament, but he can't do even the simplest things.
"As it ......" she glanced back in the direction of the inn, there was always such a person, deep in her heart, when she was at a loss, she expected him to carry a light and show her the way in the dark.
He taught her how to live, and she learned! But at this moment, I realized that it was not enough to be alive, not strong enough, and not enough to protect the people I cared about.
There was no extra time for her to feel uncomfortable, she took a deep breath and forced herself not to think about these useless things, every moment she wasted, Brother Jiu was suffering!
Since the prince of Hong Guo is unwilling to help, she has to find a way to meet the emperor by herself. Longxi Mansion is only half a pillar of incense away from here, and she walked quickly, but before she could get there, she met several teams of royal guards patrolling the streets.
Tonight's curfew, all those who are still walking in the streets after the hour will be arrested and questioned, fined some money, or thrown directly into prison; So at this moment, there was no one on the whole street, but fortunately, Nan Zhao was agile, and as soon as he heard the sound of horses, he immediately jumped to the dark place to hide, and when he saw them passing, he came out and continued to walk.
When she arrived outside the Longxi Mansion, she saw that there were more Imperial Forest Soldiers outside than last time, these are first-class masters, if she wants to turn over the wall, she will definitely be discovered, she is only afraid of more than this person in the courtyard, she has not seen the emperor, she must fight with these people, just fighting, she has a spirit flower, but she is not afraid of anything, but if she is interfered with by that Jiuwu, she may not be able to retreat.
The most important thing is that as long as she makes a move and fails to convince the emperor in the end, then she will be charged with assassination if she breaks into Longxi Mansion tonight!
When she was hiding in the dark and secretly observing, a group of people came out in Longxi Mansion, and the person headed by him was dressed in silver light armor with a high crown on his head, and he had a handsome face, but his eyebrows were full of anger.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, the horse is ready!" 19 ordered the guards to come up and report. Zhou Zheng didn't answer, turned over and got on his horse with a cold face, followed by a column of nine-life servants, fully armed, riding through the streets and alleys like this, the momentum was huge and the atmosphere was raging.
I'm afraid who is going to arrest again, Nan Zhao feels that the prince is not in Longxi Mansion, and this is the best time to see the emperor!
She immediately recited the spirit flower spell silently, and began to attract ghosts, not long after, there was a dead person came to her, she held the power of the spirit flower on its spirit, because these royal forest army have arranged a good team, if one of them is suddenly missing, I am afraid that it will soon be discovered, so she waited for a long time, and finally saw a royal forest army that was backward because of diarrhea, she saw the opportunity, let the dead man come to her on the body of the royal forest army, and took off the light armor of the royal forest army on her body, Nan Zhao changed it a few times, because this army armor is very large, She stuffed all the contents of the package she was carrying, and then dragged the Forester she had knocked unconscious into the shadows and hid it.
After that, she found an opportunity to follow the patrolling Imperial Guards to the courtyard of the palace, the last time she came, it was not difficult to find the courtyard where the emperor lived.
However, these Imperial Forest Army defense is very particular, each team is very precise when and where to pass by, if it is late or something happens, it will soon be reported layer by layer, and the above will soon be checked, so she has limited time and can't waste time on patrolling with this team of Royal Forest Army.
Finally, finally let her seize the opportunity to get out, she went to the courtyard where the emperor lived as fast as possible, and when she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, there was a team of Imperial Forest Army guarding, the door was not able to go, she simply climbed up from the courtyard wall next to her, just arrived at the wall, the Royal Forest Army standing below seemed to hear something moving, and looked up vigilantly, she quickly turned over and hung on the other side of the robbery.
"What's wrong?"
"I just felt someone on the wall!"
"Don't be suspicious, this inner courtyard is the deepest in Longxi Mansion, and those who can come in are afraid that there are only ghosts!" Nan Zhao heard their voices a little farther away, and did not immediately turn over the wall again, she hung there and waited, and time passed like this, and her hands that hung her body vigorously began to tremble, and her face was sweating profusely and did not move.
Not long after, the voices of the two men came from the other side of the wall
"I'll just say no one, you still don't believe it!"
"That's supposed to be the wind!" She really didn't guess wrong, the two of them were deliberately pretending to go away just now, and if she believed it, she would definitely wait for them to leave, and then turn over.
But in fact, the two of them didn't go far at all, they must be waiting for her on the other end with weapons! Fortunately, she kept an eye on it, and now that the two of them confirmed that there was no one, they went around to the other end of the yard!
Only then did Nan Zhao turn over and jump down gently, heading towards the room where the emperor lived. Outside the room, there were also two tall guards guarding the Imperial Forest Army, so Nan Zhao walked over quickly and said to the two in a thick voice
"Quickly pass to the emperor, there is an urgent report!" The two guards saw that she was wearing the light armor of the Imperial Guard, and they didn't doubt it too much, but they didn't say it in a very good tone
"What time is it, the emperor is asleep at this time, who dares to spread it?"
"What's the matter?" Cao Gui'an had just served Emperor Yan from inside and took the decoction, and when he came out, he heard the three of them whispering, and Nan Zhao hurriedly bent down slightly and replied cautiously
"There is an urgent matter in the lowly position and you need to report to the emperor in person!" As soon as Cao Gui'an heard the word 'face-to-face', a suspicious look appeared on his face, and he squinted his eyes at her, and sure enough, he quickly discovered the clue.
Immediately questioned
"You are a light armor of the Imperial Forest Bronze Head Formation, you should be outside the mansion, how can you come to this inner courtyard?" Nan Zhao saw that the other party had seen through it, but he didn't panic, anyway, he was outside the door, and immediately raised his head and said
"Isn't it Gonggong Cao who asked him to come here?" Cao Gui'an immediately recognized her face, first startled, and was about to ask someone to take her down, Nan Zhao raised his arm and threw out the ghost spirit she had already carried on her body, because of the blessing of her spirit flower, this ghost spirit Venerable was easy, and Cao Gui'an was at ease in an instant!
"Oh-it's you, come in with the miscellaneous family!" The ghost spirit beckoned to her, and although the two royal forest soldiers next to her felt that Gonggong Cao was a little different before and after, they couldn't imagine that at that moment, Gonggong Cao was no longer himself!
Nan Zhao cautiously followed behind Cao Gui'an, and after entering, he didn't forget to close the door again.
The wing room where Emperor Yan lived was divided into three lines: outer, middle and inner, the outermost was used for temporary visitors, the middle was used for the palace maids and eunuchs who served at night, and the inner room was the emperor's bedroom.
Cao Gui'an walked directly to the inner room with her, and the two palace maids who were waiting inside saw him coming in with a royal forest army, and carefully reminded her
"Grandpa Cao, the emperor has fallen asleep!"
"Yes, you should step back first!" The voice was Cao Gui'an's, but the words he said were all the words of the ghosts cited by Nan Zhao.
Where did the palace maids dare not listen to the orders of the chief administrator in front of the palace, and quickly retreated from here to the outer room. Nan Zhao and Cao Gui'an entered the inner room again, and Emperor Yan had indeed fallen asleep, but because he had frequent headaches and nightmares recently, Emperor Yan asked the people below to leave a lot of lights in the room, and he could be clearly seen lying on his side on the couch in a white satin nightgown.
Hearing footsteps, he said unhappily
"Didn't I say it, don't bother, Cao Gui'an, even you are too old to remember?" As he spoke, Emperor Yan looked behind Cao Gui'an slightly, and suddenly felt bad, sat up, and asked with a completely changed face
"Cao Gui'an, why did you bring the guards in?" According to the rules, if there is no danger, this kind of guard with a knife cannot get close to the inner room, which is why Emperor Yan is so frightened.
Cao Gui'an didn't speak, he stood to the side, it was Nan Zhao who went up, knelt down on his knees in front of Emperor Yan's couch, and said in a deep voice
"Little girl Nanzhao, I've seen the emperor!"
"South...... Nanzhao? The emperor's face changed completely, and he was about to open his mouth to call someone, but before his voice came out, Nan Zhao raised his hand to draw out the power of the spirit flower and bet on his mouth.
"Woo-" The emperor was speechless for the time being, and could only stare at her angrily. Nan Zhao knelt on the ground and argued
"Your Majesty, with the power of the little girl's palm, if you want to assassinate, the emperor will die, the reason why the emperor is not allowed to speak is because he is afraid that the emperor will attract unnecessary people, and ask the emperor to forgive him!" The emperor pointed to his mouth, and his angry face was eager to pull her out and cut her off!
She said
"It's natural for the emperor to speak, but the emperor wants to promise the little girl that it's okay to listen to the little girl's words before making a decision? If the emperor agrees, please nod! Although she hated her for being so blind, the emperor had no choice but to nod, and she withdrew the power of the spirit flower.
"Nanzhao! You are bold! Nan Zhao knelt on the ground and replied obediently
"The little girl is indeed bold!"
"You said you weren't here to assassinate, so what are you here for?" After the emperor asked, he guessed it himself!
"You're here to cry out for your ninth brother!" Since the national teacher Wuyazi was assassinated and died that night, Emperor Yan himself has never seen Zhou Yang, but which sinner who has committed a crime is not begging for forgiveness in front of him, the Ninety-Five?
He doesn't listen, he doesn't see! If you want to sit firmly in this country, even if you are a close relative, you can't believe it, not to mention that in the past 20 years, he has been quite jealous of Zhou Yang.
"The little girl is indeed here to avenge the Ninth Brother, the Ninth Brother has never had the intention of rebellion, how could he suddenly assassinate the national teacher?" The Emperor replied immediately without even thinking deeply
"Because he has a deep grudge with the national teacher, he has long hated the national teacher!"
"Yes, then according to what the emperor said, it is a vendetta, that is a personal vendetta, why is it considered a rebellion?" No matter which country's royal law is followed, there is a big difference between rebellion and vendetta of personal grudges, and Zhou Yang was arrested for rebellion, so he was implicated in the Guogong Mansion. If it is the latter, only Zhou Yang will be punished.
The emperor was asked by Nan Zhao like this, and he also reacted a little, he only remembered that the news of the death of the national teacher came that night, and Zhou Yang was arrested red-handed, he was so angry that he had a splitting headache, and he didn't have the heart to think about the details at all.
The national teacher is dead, the epiphany that can make him immortal is gone, and all his dreams have come to naught! And Zhou Yang has always been a jealousy in his heart, whether he really rebels or not, he doesn't care about life or death!
Nan Zhao had almost thought of it, and she continued to speak for a moment when the emperor hesitated
"Your Majesty, let's talk about the assassination of the national teacher by the king of Tai'an, I have heard about it when I came back, the national teacher was killed on the way from the Yunzhou military camp to repair the monument, before that, many people saw him and the king of Tai'an because of the dispute over the repair of the monument, so he was assassinated to death later, and it is logical for the king of Tai'an to become the first suspect, but has the emperor ever thought about a question, why was the national teacher stabbed to death on the spot, and the king of Tai'an was arrested?" Afraid that the emperor didn't understand, she explained in great detail
"Since there is a dispute, the king of Tai'an will assassinate, that is a sudden act, so in the no-man's land outside the city, how can he be caught by the people of His Royal Highness the Prince? Is it the crown prince who has the ability to predict the unknown, or is this a game in itself? After hearing her words, the emperor didn't feel that she was here to disadvantage himself, so he relaxed his vigilance, but he didn't take these doubts she raised seriously, and answered in a very casual tone
"There is a master of Jiuwu by the prince's side, and you are also a member of the Xuanmen, isn't it common for unpredictable prophets to happen?" Nan Zhao replied
"No, even if you are really a profound cultivator, you can't divinate the hexagram of King Tai'an!"
"Why?" Emperor Yan raised his eyebrows and became interested.
"Because the king of Tai'an has a spirit flower mark on his body, all things related to the spirit flower are against the sky, and they have changed the reincarnation of heaven since they appeared, so even if they can spy on the heavenly machine, they can't spy on their fate!" Emperor Yan locked his eyebrows, thoughtful,
"Even so, it can be that the king of Tai'an showed his horse's feet before arranging the assassination, and was ...... by the crown prince" Regarding this, Nan Zhao also thought about the answer, and waited for the emperor to bring it up himself, she said
"If it is really as the emperor said, King Tai'an made a plan in advance to kill the national teacher, then how could he be stupid enough to assassinate the land in person? If he wants to kill someone, he can send a killer there, why should he come forward in person? Don't even have any hidden outfits? Not to mention that he is the noble King of Tai'an, even if he is an ordinary person, he will not be so stupid, right? "Come back in a hurry, Nan Zhao actually didn't know the details of that night, but she heard that she disappeared with Tan Jing that night, and the prison monument suddenly cracked, and then Wu Yazi had a dispute with Brother Jiu, so it's not difficult to guess!
She and Lu Donglai knew that Wuyazi had ghosts, so Wuyazi was bound to move the prison monument, but was stopped by Brother Jiu, and then Wuyazi was stabbed to death on the way back, and since Brother Jiu was caught red-handed, it must be just that the enemy set a trap and waited for him to come!
Emperor Yan is not a fool, she said it so clearly, how could she not understand? Sometimes, I am not afraid that this person will be kept in the dark, but I am afraid that he is pretending to be stupid, Nan Zhao knelt below, and from observing the demeanor between the emperor's eyebrows to now, he has been very sure that he is pretending to be stupid!
"The emperor has never liked King Tai'an, and regards him as a thorn in his side!"
"Nanzhao! You are bold! "The emperor's face darkened,
"Do you really think that I am afraid that you will commit murder, so I will not let people come in and take you?" Nan Zhao's face did not change his color
"The emperor can order someone to take me, but at that time, Nan Zhao will never be captured, with my strength, it should not be difficult to kill half of your Yu Linwei and retreat, and at that time, the emperor will definitely want the little girl in the whole city, then the little girl can only fight against the water, forced to become the emperor's enemy, you have tens of millions of imperial forest troops, and I only have a spirit flower, I don't have a good life, but the emperor will not be too happy, and he loses both, why not choose the best of both worlds before this?" Emperor Yan hated others threatening her the most, and it was not the first time that Nan Zhao had spoken to him in such a tone, not as angry as the last time, and he focused on the word 'forced'.
"So you're not my enemy at the moment?" Nan Zhao immediately expressed his loyalty
"The emperor is the ninety-five respected by the people of the world, if the little girl is not wrongfully persecuted, how can she be willing to go against the emperor?" Seeing that the emperor was somewhat relaxed, she added
"Actually, the little girl wasted all her strength tonight to enter here and talk to the emperor alone, not only to avenge the king of Tai'an, but also to come for the emperor!"
"Oh?" Emperor Yan couldn't understand what he said, for him?
"Your Majesty, think about it carefully, if King Tai'an was indeed framed by design, then who was the one who killed the national teacher?" Naturally, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who arrested King Taean on the spot!
"Why did this person kill the emperor's cronies and national teachers at this moment? Was it premeditated, or was it because of a secret decree? Speaking of the secret decree, the emperor immediately remembered that the secret decree he gave to Nan Zhao did have a private message to the prince, so before the death of the national teacher, the prince knew that Zhou Yang could also become the prince.
But if Zhou Yang is dead before the secret decree is really made public, then it doesn't matter whether the secret decree exists or not!
"Your Majesty, if he is really the murderer of the national teacher, then how can the person who really has the heart of rebellion be His Royal Highness the King of Tai'an?" Sure enough, Nan Zhao's words made the emperor realize that the conspiracy was not just a power struggle between the two sons, if he connived and ignored it, then after Zhou Yang's death, the only person who affected the crown prince was him, the emperor Laozi!
He didn't taboo this prince before, because he had a national teacher at that time, and now, the national teacher is dead, but there is a long-realized long-term enlightenment by the prince's side!
However, he is the emperor after all, he is cunning and cunning, and he will never easily show his panic in front of Nanzhao.
Even if the prince is not filial, his own son can still be so disobedient, not to mention that this is no one, and is called a spirit girl of the demon star?
He believed in no one but himself!
"These are all speculations from your mouth, the king of Tai'an assassinated the national teacher, and the human and material evidence is there, and after he was arrested, his foreign company Ma Feng disappeared together with the tiger talisman that controlled the 100,000 Yunzhou army, how can this not make people suspicious? I only believe what I see with my eyes, not what you say! Nan Zhao had long expected that this emperor would be so hard-mouthed, and she immediately stated
"Then if the little girl can show the truth to the emperor, can the emperor give King Tai'an a chance to rehabilitate?" Although the emperor was hard-mouthed, he was unwilling to seal his back road, and replied after thinking for a while
"There is only one chance, see if you have the ability to grasp it!" If not, even if Zhou Yang is really wronged, then it's no wonder that he, the father, turned a blind eye!
Nan Zhao made a grateful salute. It was also at this time that there was a sudden commotion outside, and someone came!
"It's almost time!" She said to the emperor
"It's not the prince, it's the prince himself, or maybe I came in in the clothes of the Imperial Forest Army just now, he must have known about it, and he can't hide, so let's confront it directly!" Seeing that she was so calm, the emperor was a little worried about her, and asked
"You know that the prince is taboo against you, and you have no evidence to prove that Zhou Yang is innocent, aren't you afraid that seeing the prince at this moment will be bad for you?"
"As long as the emperor is not easily bewitched, shouldn't the person who should really be afraid be the one who does bad things?" I am worthy of heaven and earth, what is there to fear?
The emperor was shocked by her courage, if this woman is not Zhou Yang, but sincerely obeys him and uses it for him, it is a happy event!
Nan Zhao took back the dead man on Cao Gui'an's body and asked him to open the door, standing outside the door, it was indeed the crown prince Zhou Zheng, he heard the news, and hurried back halfway, and then saw that the person who came out with the emperor and was wearing the light armor of Yulin Wei was Nan Zhao, and immediately drew his sword and shouted
"Escort!" Emperor Yan said sternly
"Presumptuous, there are no assassins here, why do you need to escort them?" Zhou Zheng pointed to Nan Zhao and emphasized
"Father, this daughter is Zhou Yang's righteous sister, and coming here must be unfavorable to her father!!"
"Father is not old and confused, whether it is unfavorable to me or not, I have my own decision, put away the sword quickly! What kind of system does it become to dance with a knife and a gun in front of me? Zhou Zheng could only put away the sword unwillingly, and there was hatred in his eyes, and he wanted to tear Nan Zhao on the spot!
Unexpectedly, under his close control, he also let her drill the basket, if it wasn't for Jiuwu just now to send someone to chase, he didn't know that this woman had arrived in front of his father at the moment, and now, he basically guessed what Nan Zhaodu said to the emperor, and immediately persuaded Emperor Yan to say
"Father, this daughter is a demon star, what she says must not be trusted!" Emperor Yan said in a deep voice
"The death of the national teacher is a pain in my heart, and I also feel that there are many clues to the assassination of the national teacher, this time, I will personally try it and find out the truth, so as to comfort the spirit of the national teacher in the sky!" Zhou Zheng's face was ugly, but how could he change his interference when the emperor made a decision?
He slowed down a little and replied pretending to be nothing
"The father's affection for the monarch and ministers of the national teacher really touched the sons, since the father wants to try it in person, then the father must take care of the dragon body, don't work too hard!" Emperor Yan wanted to try it in person, so he naturally had to pass all the evidence and material evidence at the time of the crime, and the time was set for the second half of the night, Longxi Mansion.
Zhou Zheng set out to arrange for the witnesses to come, while Nan Zhao stayed by Emperor Yan's side and never left. Zhou Zheng returned to the courtyard where he lived with an ugly face, and Li Ji had heard what had happened, so he hurriedly came over and whispered to her
"Your Highness, this spirit girl is not easy to deal with!"
"Humph!" He smiled darkly in his eyes
"No matter how good she is, she always has weaknesses!" Cat flutter Chinese
