Chapter 177

This day is the fifteenth, and according to the ancestral system, the emperor should have gone to Fengyi Palace. But he has recently become more and more dissatisfied with Empress Shen's actions, and rarely set foot in Fengyi Palace.

However, even if she didn't go to Queen Shen before, she was still given the dignity that should have been given to her, and she only rested in the Qinzheng Palace. But today, he didn't even plan to give this face-saving affection to Queen Shen, and stayed directly in Yuxiu Palace.

By midnight, the Emperor had fallen into a deep sleep. Shen Hui got up gently, wrapped a fox fur coat in her hand, and tiptoed out of the dormitory and went to the apse.

In front of the orchid bush in the apse, a black figure stood quietly.

"Your Highness."

Shen Hui walked behind him and called softly.

The figure turned around, the ambiguous candlelight shining on his face, the sword eyebrows were slender, the black eyes were cold, and there seemed to be no heating up and down his body.

It's Xiao Li.

"He's already asleep?" Xiao Li's voice was as cold as his people.

Shen Hui nodded slightly and slowly walked to Xiao Li's side.

"I have given him something to drink, as His Highness said. During these days, he became more and more unable to control his temper. Fengyi Palace and Lintoe Palace have all thrown their sleeves out, and I believe that His Royal Highness also saw his occasional gaffes in the court. ”

Xiao Li hooked the corners of his mouth.

"Well done." Xiao Li said lightly.

Between him and the emperor, he did not want to end up by such means. But the emperor used his scheming on Ling Miao, and it was not something he could tolerate. He promised Ling Miao a three-year covenant, and within three years, he was bound to remove the obstacles between them and carry Ling Miao from the palace gate into the palace.

"So what does Your Highness want me to do?" Shen Hui raised his eyes and looked at the handsome god-like face of the person in front of him, his heart moved slightly, but he quickly lowered his eyes when he looked at him.

"Give him his medicine on time. For the rest, leave it alone. ”

"Yes, I see." She raised her head, bit her lip lightly, and her voice trembled a little, "What His Highness wants me to do, I will do." I only hope that after the success of His Royal Highness's great event, he will not forget his promise to me and let my parents and brothers live. ”

Xiao Li took his hand, "Don't worry." ”

"Well, I'll go back first." Shen Hui lowered her head again and turned to leave. On the path she walked, there were two drops of water that were extremely inconspicuous.

Xiao Li lowered his eyes and looked at the swaying light and shadow on the ground for a long time. He was really not mistaken, Shen Hui was gentle and docile on the outside, but she was extremely tough on the inside, and she was definitely unwilling to be sent to the palace as a pawn for favor. Coupled with Empress Shen's bullying due to jealousy, she will definitely rebel. Once a woman is forced to be in a hurry, she can do any kind of crazy thing, just like Queen Shen back then.

The sky was still overcast, obscuring the full moon that should have been. In the fragrance of flowers in the apse, Xiao Li pulled away.

In such a cold weather, he was only wearing a thin ink-colored brocade robe. Flying all the way, it swept over the rows of palace rooms like a bird.

Not far from the palace wall, Xiao Li's figure suddenly turned around, and the long ink-colored whip on his waist had been thrown out, pointing sharply forward like a black snake.

This rabbit rise and fall only happened for a moment. The people who followed him were caught off guard, and immediately took off to avoid them. Xiao Li turned around and saw the faces of the people who came.

Tall, handsome and handsome, with a high nose and deep eyes, and a military general's strong suit, it is Ling Hao.

Ling Hao naturally saw the face of this bold person who broke into the Forbidden Palace day and night.

"It turned out to be the king of the county." Ling Hao arched his hand, his eyes inquiring. He didn't know Xiao Li's true identity, nor did he know what Xiao Li, the king of the clan, was doing in and out of the palace in the middle of the night, but the moment Xiao Li swept out of the palace wall, he was immediately recognized by his body - he and Xiao Li often saw each other at the Gu family, and they were very familiar with each other.

His eagle-like gaze fell on Xiao Li and scanned back and forth, full of inquiry. If it was someone else, as long as it wasn't under his nose, even if it was an assassin king, Ling Hao wouldn't bother to care. But Xiao couldn't leave. He is Ling Miao's future son-in-law, and Ling Miao is involved, and he can't ignore this matter.

"The prince entered the palace late at night, but His Majesty announced it? If not, for what purpose? ”

Xiao Li suddenly smiled. He always has a cold face on weekdays, and this smile, even in the dark night, is like the light of the sky breaking through the stratus clouds, making people feel like a spring breeze.

Ling Hao's brows furrowed even deeper, his eyes flickered, and he became more and more vigilant.

Xiao Li was cold-hearted, even if he had contact on weekdays, Ling Hao felt that he couldn't see through this young man in his twenties at all.

"Master Hou." Xiao left his mouth, and although his voice was faint, it was not difficult to hear that there was no hostility in it.

"I don't know if Master Hou has ever heard that good birds choose trees to perch?"

Ling Hao was shocked, looked at Xiao Li in disbelief, and was speechless for a long time......

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and the emperor finally ordered the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and the three divisions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to be tried and jointly assisted in Huo Ruhai's case.

The case was tried quickly and easily. Huo Ruhai didn't wait for him to be punished, and after only going through the hall, he explained clearly who he was instructed to be greedy for military salaries, how he escaped from the prison of the Criminal Department, where he had been hiding in the past few years, and why he robbed Gu's Farewell Village.

Holding Huo Ruhai's confession, Li Zhiheng breathed a sigh of relief. The three divisions interrogated, and it could be seen that the emperor was hopeless about the seventh prince and did not intend to protect him anymore. In this way, the emperor's anger is borne by someone, and he can rest easy.

Three days after Huo Ruhai's trial, Xiao Qian, who had been confined in the palace for many days, finally walked out of the prince's mansion behind the inner prisoner.

It's just less than a month, and the previously high-spirited and handsome prince seems to be a different person. Of course, even if it is encircled and surrounded by forbidden troops outside, there is no shortage of applications in his house. It's just that at this time, the delicacies of the mountains and seas are in front of him, and Xiao Qian can't eat them.

On the way to the palace, Xiao Qian was thinking about how to defend himself. He didn't dare to think about whether he would be able to get out of this matter safely, only thinking about what if the emperor ...... What should he do if Huo Ruhai told him everything he had done in private in the past few years.

The inner prison took him to the palace of diligent government.

As soon as he entered the door of the palace, Xiao Gan's heart sank.

In the Qinzheng Palace, the emperor wearing a bright yellow dragon robe sat on the dragon chair. At the first place, there is the order of the sect's government, the second prince Xiao Kun, the fifth prince Xiao Mo, and several respected clan princes, and even Xiao Li is sitting on one side.

He raised his eyes and swept over quickly, not missing the cold smile in Xiao Li's eyes.

"Your Highness, please." The waiter urged in a low voice, and there was no respect for Xiao Qian in his voice for a long time.

Xiao Qian didn't have the time to care about this, so he tried his best to stabilize his mind, lifted the hem of his clothes and stepped into the Qinzheng Palace.

"Erchen...... See Father! Rushing in front of the emperor, Xiao Qian fell to his knees with a thud and cried bitterly, "The son is not filial, and the son is guilty!" ”

This made everyone stunned for a moment. I thought he would quibble, but I didn't expect to enter the temple and ask for guilt, and cry into tears!

Xiao Qian cried while peeking at the back of the dragon case.

Compared with the past, the emperor's face was a little yellow, and he was much haggard. Xiao Qian was first surprised, and then his heart was a little excited-does this mean that these days, his father is anxious about him, so that he has become like this?

In fact, not only Xiao Qian, but also the ministers in the court have also noticed the recent changes in the emperor.

This year, the emperor is not confused, it is the time of the prime of life. Although it is not as good as the first emperor to charge on the horse and dismount to govern the country, but the royal people have practiced martial arts since childhood, the emperor has always been in good health, and the imperial doctor has a safe pulse every two days, and there has never been news that the emperor is sick.

But it didn't show up for a day or two, and after a long time, everyone could see that the emperor's face was not as good as before, and his body was much thinner. At first, some people speculated that he was bothered to work for political affairs or Xiao Qian. But judging from his attitude towards Huo Ruhai's case, it doesn't look like it. And recently, the emperor's temper has become more and more irritable, and it is not once or twice that he has a seizure during the great court meeting, punishes officials, and even shoots the case.

No one can guess why.
