"Yes, as for why he wanted to kill the queen, he didn't say, revenge on you was just because he was once deposed by you and made him lose face, and he hated you to the bone, so he secretly sent someone to kill you."

When Prime Minister Qi heard this, a smile appeared on his face: "Since this is the case, then he also deserves to die, he murdered the queen of the nine clans, his life is not worth anything." ”

"What do you say? Don't you have a little compassion? Sheng Zhiyao asked angrily when she heard Qi Xiang's words.

"Mercy? Pity what? Pity him for what he did, pity him for his insidious cunning? Hmph, if he was really a good person, how could he betray the court and assassinate the prime minister of a country, and how could he murder the queen? ”

"Hmph, he's not a good person, are you a good person, Prime Minister Qi? Isn't Prime Minister Qi also here to frame me, the county lord? Sheng Zhiyao retorted.

"Presumptuous, I am the prime minister of a country, what I want to do is to remove disasters for the people, and get rid of traitors for the society, what do you know about this little baby." Prime Minister Qi scolded angrily.

"Hmph, you still get rid of traitors for the people? I think you're making excuses for your lusts. ”

"Nonsense, I am the prime minister of the Zhou Dynasty, how can I do such a ridiculous thing, you little baby, you are simply unbelievable."

"Humph! Then Prime Minister Qi will keep his promise, right? ”

"That's nature."

"In that case, can Prime Minister Qi remember what he just said? If I had not written the letter, you would have confessed my innocence and kowtowed to me three times. Sheng Zhiyao said coldly.

Prime Minister Qi Cheng's face turned red when he heard this, and he was extremely angry, but he had no choice, and he was powerless to refute her in front of His Majesty, so he had to say: "The minister will never break his word, the county lord forgives the minister for being reckless and wronged you, and asks the county lord to forgive." ”

After speaking, Prime Minister Qi fell to his knees and prepared to kowtow.

Seeing this, Sheng Lixin hurriedly stopped Prime Minister Qi: "Qi Xiang, why are you doing this?" Zhiyao is still too young to afford such a big gift from you, this matter has been revealed like this, please get up quickly. ”

When Prime Minister Qi heard this, he didn't insist on standing up directly, his face was also blue and white for a while, and his heart was both aggrieved and atmospheric, but he couldn't vent.

The emperor also felt a little embarrassed, but after all, it was in full view, and he couldn't behave too favoritly for Sheng Zhiyao, so he could only pretend to cough twice to relieve the embarrassment: "Okay, since the matter has been investigated, and the sinner has been punished, this matter is over, Qi Xiang, how is your injury, since Zhang Yuan is sentenced, why don't you let him take a look." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is fine, it's just a minor injury, just go home and rest for a few days." Prime Minister Qi arched his hand and said.

"Well, in that case, I will allow you to go home and recuperate from your injuries." The Emperor said.

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty." Prime Minister Qi bowed.

"The hour is not early, and I am tired, so you all should retreat first."

"Your Majesty."

Everyone saluted and took leave.

Sheng Zhiyao followed Sheng Lixin in front, she lowered her head as she walked, although she had a lot of resentment against the prime minister in her heart, but she knew that now was not the time to get rid of him, so she couldn't hold back the hatred in her heart for the time being, a person who was full of benevolence and morality but didn't take other people's lives as his life could also be the prime minister, it seemed that there was really no one under the emperor's grandfather.

Back in the waiting house, Sheng Zhiyao went straight to her yard, she was so tired today, she needed to sleep well, adjust her mentality, and recover her vitality, there were still a lot of things waiting for her tomorrow.

After returning to the room, Old Marquis Sheng did not rush to rest, but called Steward Li.

"Master Hou, what are your orders?" Steward Li asked respectfully.

The old marquis thought for a while and said, "Today, Qi Xiang took out a letter with almost identical handwriting to Zhi Yao, but I wonder how he can get Zhi Yao's handwriting to copy?" ”

Hearing what the old Hou Ye said, Steward Li immediately became vigilant: "Don't worry, Hou Ye, I know what to do." ”

The old marquis nodded: "Go ahead." ”

After Steward Li left, the old marquis began to think about it, according to his guess about this matter, this letter should have been forged by Qi Xiang, as for what method was used, he probably guessed that either there were spies in the Shenghou Mansion or the people in the Zhiyao shop did it, this matter should not be underestimated, it must be investigated!

The old marquis sent several secret guards to investigate this matter from different channels.

This night is destined to be another sleepless night.

Early in the morning, the old marquis came to the door of Sheng Zhiyao's room.

He knocked on the door for a long time, and the door finally opened, and Sheng Zhiyao stood in front of the old marquis with two panda eyes.

"Grandpa, what's wrong? So early? ”

"It's nothing, I'll see if you're up?" The old marquis said with a smile.

Sheng Zhiyao pouted, how could she get up so early, but since grandpa wants to see it, let's accompany him to take a look.

Sheng Zhiyao opened the door, walked into the house, and sat on the stool: "What is Grandpa looking for his granddaughter?" ”

The old marquis said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just the handwritten letter that Qi Xiang took out last night, what do you think?" ”

"Grandpa, you came to me early in the morning for this matter? Isn't that a simple thing to do? What is Grandpa worried about? Afraid that our family has an undercover agent? If that's the case, there's nothing the granddaughter can do. ”

"Grandpa didn't worry about anything, grandpa just thought it was strange, why was Qi Xiang able to take out your handwriting in this matter? Where did he get it, and who did he copy it? ”

After listening to the old marquis's words, Sheng Zhiyao thought to himself, sure enough.

She knew that her grandfather must not have thought of this for no reason, and he must have found something wrong before he came to ask herself.

It seems that he does have to be careful, but this time, Sheng Zhiyao will definitely not compromise easily.

"Grandpa, I don't know how Qi Xiang got this handwritten letter, but I believe that there should be no spies in our house, so you don't have to worry about this at all."

Listening to Sheng Zhiyao's words, the old marquis nodded and looked at Sheng Zhiyao: "You are quite confident, grandpa thought you would be afraid." ”

"Grandpa, of course I'm not afraid, I just think that our family is the safest, so I don't have to be afraid, and I don't have to worry about someone mixing into our house."

"Why?"

"Because my grandfather is by my side to protect me, what else am I afraid of?"

Hearing Sheng Zhiyao's words, the old marquis's heart warmed, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Alas, Zhiyao, grandpa is old, if there is anything in the future, you don't hide it in your heart anymore, and tell grandpa directly, otherwise I will be scared to death by you sooner or later." ”

"I know, grandpa, you don't have to worry about it, granddaughter will take care of these things by herself."

"Okay, are you going to the shop today?" The old marquis asked.

"Go, of course I went, I didn't go where the money came from, these days are the key, and when the store opens, I can be more free when I ask the third brother to watch me." Sheng Zhiyao said with a grin.

"Alright then, then you should be careful on the road and go out with the maid."

"Got it, grandpa."

The old marquis got up and left the room, Sheng Zhiyao went back to the bed and lay down, she closed her eyes and prepared to sleep before going to the store, then she suddenly remembered the bed she ordered in the orange software a few days ago, and she immediately returned to the small villa.
