Chapter XXXVIII
In the king's tent, Xi Ze sat behind the screen, and after listening to the report of the four joys, he looked at the people who entered the king's tent and asked Qiye, "Qiye, are you okay?" Are there any injuries? β
Qi Ye hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I'm fine!" β
Xi Ze was slightly relieved, looked at the people beside Qi Ye, and said strangely: "Is it Ye Jing'an?" β
Ye Jing'an hurriedly said: "If you go back to the emperor, it is the courtier!" β
Xi Ze nodded with great satisfaction: "You saved my miracle doctor, and made another meritorious service, and I will be rewarded when I turn back!" β
"Emperor Xie!"
Xi Ze looked at Archie kneeling on the ground again, looked at it carefully, and asked, "Who is kneeling in the tent?" Get your name in! β
Archie knelt with his head bowed and didn't say a word for a long time.
Seeing this, Qi Ye was a little anxious, even if Xia Wanfeng really sent Archie to assassinate him, he just wanted to be private, and he didn't want to make trouble for Xi Ze, so he said loudly: "Your Majesty...... This slave, I recognize, is just some personal vendetta, so let me take ......"
However, he was interrupted by Xi Ze in the middle of his words: "Pray for the night, you are frightened!" You are my person, I naturally want to make decisions for you, this matter is not a trivial matter, dare to assassinate at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can you let it go! Sixi, go and move a stool for the divine doctor, so that you can serve it! β
"Yes!" Sixi soon moved a stool, and he had no choice but to shut up and sit down.
Xi Ze asked Archie again, "Say, who are you?" Why did you perform the miracle doctor of assassination? β
Archie remained silent. Xi Ze was a little impatient with the others, and Sixi was clever, kicked Archie hard, and said angrily: "Bold! The emperor asked, don't answer quickly! Dare to let the emperor wait, how many lives do you have? β
Archie then replied, "Archie, minion! β
Xi Ze replied and asked, "Who sent you to assassinate my divine doctor?" β
Archie didn't speak for a long time.
Xi Ze was very annoyed, looked at Qi Ye, and asked, "Qi Ye, since you know this minion, then you tell me who he is!" β
I regretted my words a little. But it was too late to take it back, and he said for a long time: "He...... He...... He's a slave of Late Feng! β
Xi Ze was shocked when he heard this: "What did you say?!" β
Qi Ye hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, there are many doubts about this matter, although he is a slave of Wanfeng. But I don't believe he was sent by Late Maple to assassinate me anyway! Please also ask the emperor to see clearly, maybe the whole thing really has nothing to do with Wanfeng......"
Xi Ze raised his hand to stop Qi Ye from talking, and said angrily to Sixi: "Sixi, didn't you say that Wan Feng had already taken someone to the river to save Qi Ye?" Why did you pray for the night and come back, but you didn't see the evening maple? You immediately go and send the evening maple to me! β
Four happy orders. trembling, he left the king's tent.
On the other side, Ye Jing Anqi said: "Your Majesty, the divine doctor is obviously in distress on the mountain, why does this 'Wan Feng' say that the divine doctor is in distress by the river?" These are two completely different places, and the directions are also opposite, is he really going to save the divine doctor? β
Xi Ze was noncommittal, and waited for Wan Feng to return to explain to him with a calm face.
Sixi soon brought Xia Wanfeng to the king's tent, and he came in with Fu Jingchuan, Dali Temple Qing Tan Youde, and Yushi Zhang Bing, saying that they had heard that the divine doctor had been assassinated, and they had come to offer condolences. Immediately, the king's tent was full of people.
When Xi Ze saw Xia Wanfeng coming, he asked, "Wanfeng, look at the kneeling people on the ground, but your slave?" β
"Yes!" Xia Wanfeng turned her eyes and saw that it was Archie who was surprised, "Archie, why are you here?" β
Archie looked at Xia Wanfeng, hung his head and said, "My lord, the assassination failed, please deal with it!" β
Xia Wanfeng was shocked: "What assassination?!" β
That's when it happened. Xi Ze asked loudly from the front: "Wan Feng, is this person your slave?" β
Xia Wanfeng looked at Xi Ze and said, "Back to the emperor's words." He is a servant of his ministers, and he does not know ...... What did he do? β
Xi Ze said angrily: "This Archie was assassinated on the mountain just now!" Did you send him to assassinate the night? β
Xia Wanfeng was shocked, almost subconsciously looking at Qi Ye, only to see that he was safe and sound, looking at himself blankly, and then turned his head to look at Xi Ze. Clenched his fists and replied seriously: "Emperor Mingjian, the minister never sent someone to assassinate Qi Ye, the minister didn't know anything about the mountain just now, just now the minister thought that Qi Ye was in danger by the river, and he took someone to save Qi Ye, how could he send someone to assassinate Qi Ye?" After speaking, he turned his head to look at Archie and asked sharply, "Archie, when will I send you to assassinate Qiye, why did you murder Qiye?" β
Archie was a little confused by what Xia Wanfeng said, and replied after a while: "My lord, didn't you ask me to trick Dugu Qiye into going to the mountains before I did it?" Help, my lord! β
Xia Wanfeng looked at Archie in disbelief, this slave who had followed him for more than ten years, this slave who had always won his trust actually betrayed him, he pointed at Archie and reprimanded: "What nonsense are you talking about? When will I tell you to deceive you into praying for the night to the mountains? You have betrayed me, and because I have always treated you well, you have been bought! Say, Who instructed you to murder Prayer Night? β
Archie immediately replied, "I'm not talking nonsense! I am your close slave, no one has bought me, I have always acted on the orders of my lords! β
"You ......"
At this moment, Xi Ze shouted sharply: "Okay! β
The two of them were immediately silent.
Xi Ze held back his anger and asked in a deep voice, "Wan Feng, I only ask you, did you send this Archie to assassinate Qi Ye?" β
Xia Wanfeng hurriedly replied: "No! β
Xi Ze breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "Then why did you lie about the news and say that Qi Ye was in distress by the river?" β
Xia Wanfeng replied truthfully: "Just now I saw the distress signal of the prayer night, the direction was the riverside, I thought that the prayer night was in distress, so I told the sΓΉ Sixi prayer night to be in distress by the river, and then I took someone to the river to prepare to save the prayer night!" β
Hearing this, Xi Ze turned his eyes to look at Qi Ye: "Qi Ye, you released a distress signal?" β
Qi Ye's thoughts were confused, so he had to answer truthfully: "I don't!" β
Xi Ze replied with this and looked at Xia Wanfeng with questions: "Wanfeng, what do you explain?" β
Xia Wanfeng was sweating anxiously, quickly turned his mind, and defended himself: "Your Majesty, the minister really saw a distress signal by the river to pray for the night!" The minister is telling the truth! β
Xi Ze asked again, "Then did you find a distress signal?" Show me! β
Xia Wanfeng was even more anxious when he heard this, because he didn't find a distress signal by the river, and said a little hesitantly: "Your ...... The minister did not find the prayer night by the river, nor did he find the distress signal, but the minister did not lie...... Please believe in the emperor! There's no reason for the minister to pray for the night! (To be continued.) )
