Chapter 157: The Witch Spell Begins to Manifest Its Might
Mu Zhixi didn't know much about Ye Jinzhi, only knew that he was both civil and military, but she didn't know that he could achieve such proud results.
The second class is not in vain for his grandfather's cultivation of him.
"Having said that, Ye Jinzhi is the second in the first class, and where is the first sacred?"
Qiushuang scratched the back of her head and remembered it for a while, but she still couldn't remember.
"Princess, the slave and maid forgot. The name is very ordinary, it seems to be two words, the surname Zhou is still surnamed Shenlai......"
"It's Shen Yu. β
"Yes, yes, it's Shen Yu, it's him!" Qiushuang was excited for a while.
Think about it.
That's not right.
The princess didn't go out again, how could she know who the first class was?
And, still in such a positive tone?
Shen Yu is first, this is expected by Mu Zhixi.
Looking at the entire Beiyan, Shen Yu's talent can be called one of the best.
In his previous life, he was a generation of Confucian generals known as "ghosts and sorrows".
In the following period of five generals, he and Ye Jinzhi were the most famous.
Unexpectedly, these two people would become opponents in advance in this year's imperial examination.
Ye Jinzhi is so self-respecting and arrogant, he must be very unwilling to lose to Shen Yu.
"Autumn frost. β
"The slave is here. β
"When my brother achieves good results, I have to say that I will accompany me to the market for a while and give him a gift. β
It just so happened that she probably hadn't visited her grandfather for a long time.
At the bazaar, everyone was talking about the attack on Xiao Chengze.
The people did not know the situation, and all kinds of random speculations.
Unexpectedly, at the foot of the Son of Heaven in the imperial city, someone seriously injured the prince and made it so high-profile.
This is a contempt and demonstration of imperial power!
Xiao Chengze was very seriously injured this time, and he was barely saved a life, but life was worse than death.
He was injured and could only be paralyzed in bed for the rest of his life, and even Gong needed someone to serve him.
Although he has been deposed as a concubine, he is still a royal bloodline.
When the emperor learned of this, he was furious and ordered a thorough investigation.
Shaoqing of Dali Temple personally tried the case, and above the court, Xiao Jingyi took the initiative to ask for help.
"Father, the son is willing to assist Dali Siqing!"
Nangong Liang's gaze passed through the crowd and fell on Xiao Jingyi.
Has that guy forgotten who seriously injured Xiao Chengze last night?
He really perfectly explained what it means to "catch a thief".
"And Major General Nangong. Please allow my father to allow me to ...... Nangong Liang and I."
"Ahem!" Nangong Liang wanted to interrupt Xiao Jingyi's words.
His brow furrowed, and he muttered to himself.
What's the situation, don't get him involved.
Xiao Jingyi, this product, was drenched in the rain last night, and his brain went directly into the water.
The emperor was deeply pleased, "It's rare for the seventh child to take the initiative to share my worries, so as you wish, I order the three of you to try this case together, and be sure to find out the thief!"
"The order of the ministerβ"
Among the three, Nangong Liang was completely helpless.
His face was tense and he stared at Xiao Jingyi.
Ho, thief!
Standing here in a grand manner.
Do you still need to look for it?
Qianhua Palace.
Last night, several lightning bolts knocked down the ancient trees in the courtyard, and early in the morning, the palace people were busy cleaning up, and it took a lot of effort.
The queen stood by the window, without the ancient tree, and at a glance, she was very unaccustomed to it.
"Niangniang, something happened! Those spies who followed Xiao Chengze are all missing, and we only found the body of one of them, ...... in Shilipo" Jinxin hurriedly entered the dormitory, out of breath.
"What!
Jinxin shook her head.
"I don't know who did it, it's still investigating. Moreover, Xiao Chengze was seriously injured, and now he has become a ghost.
"Niangniang, last night, something must have happened in Shilipo. Maybe all the spies we sent out have already ......."
The queen was extremely angry and roared in a low voice: "It's just the opposite! Even the people of the palace dare to kill!"
Jin Xin stood respectfully and continued.
"Niangniang, the attack on Xiao Chengze has alarmed the emperor, Dali Temple took over the case, last night's incident, presumably there will be clues soon. β
"It's a pity that Ben Gongyuan is still thinking about using Xiao Chengze as bait to get rid of Mu Zhixi. β
"Niangniang, stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood, we can always find a chance. β
The queen's eyes were very sharp.
"You're right, there are many opportunities, and we shouldn't rush it.
"Stand down. β
Jinxin did not leave, lowered his head, and his tone was very worried.
"Niangniang, Qiu Rong's whereabouts are still unknown, the slave is very worried, can Niangniang send more spies......"
The queen interrupted her, her face full of worry.
"This palace knows that you and Qiu Rong entered the palace together, and they are like sisters. Bengong is not a ruthless and unrighteous person, Qiu Rong's life and death, Bengong also cares. β
During the blessing of the Taimiao, she designed Mu Zhixi, so that Qiu Rong could look like a slut, approached Xiao Yiyan, and looked for an opportunity to assassinate.
originally thought of killing two birds with one stone, but as a result, Mu Zhixi did not die, and Xiao Yiyan was unharmed.
On the contrary, it was Qiu Rong, who lost her whereabouts, and she didn't know whether she was dead or alive.
If Qiu Rong died, it would be exactly what she wanted.
If he hadn't died, if he fell into the hands of Xiao Yiyan, he would have been a scourge sooner or later.
I'd rather she bear the people of the world than the people of the world bear her.
She had already given the order to find Qiu Rong and kill her on the spot.
It's not a pity that a maidservant girl dies when she dies.
The queen's phoenix eyes narrowed, and her gaze was like quenched poisonous juice, gloomy and ruthless.
After the emperor asked people to thoroughly investigate Xiao Chengze's case, there were ministers in the court.
"Your Majesty, the plague of Winterfell, countless casualties, and the situation is grim.
"The lockdown has not had any effect, and it is necessary to send people to Winterfell as soon as possible to distribute herbs, food, and clothing to the people of Winterfell......
Marquis An Yuan deeply agreed, "Your Majesty, the old minister seconded the proposal. Control of the plague is imminent. β
In the crowd, an old voice sounded.
This person is the queen's father, the reign of the emperor - Zhao Taiwei.
"Your Majesty, what is more terrible than the plague is the human heart. What the people of Winterfell fear most is not the plague, but abandonment. β
"At the time of the lockdown, rumors spread everywhere that they were going to kill Winter City and never suffer in the future. β
"The people of Winterfell are now panicking, food and clothing are important, but more importantly, it is to appease the people. β
The minister believed that one of the princes should go to Winter City on behalf of the emperor, so as to suppress rumors and stabilize the hearts of the people. β
What Taiwei Zhao said made sense, and the others listened to it and nodded frequently.
The Emperor swept the princes standing below, "You few, whoever wants to go to Winter City will be rewarded." β
Xiao Jingyi lowered his head and muttered softly.
"Who is not afraid of death and dares to go? β
As soon as he raised his eyes, it was a coincidence that he directly met the emperor's gaze.
"Old Seven, you ......"
The emperor just wanted to say something, but Xiao Jingyi hurriedly said it first.
"Father, the son still has to cooperate with Dali Siqing to handle the case, I can't go. β
Even if there is no case entangled, he will not go.
Is this a father, send his son to the fire pit!
The emperor didn't have much hope for Xiao Jingyi, and turned to look at the other princes.
His gaze quickly locked on Duan Wang Xiao Qiming.
Xiao Qiming trembled with fright.
"Father, father, to appease the people, do you have to ask the prince to come out?
"Winterfell is remote, and the people don't recognize the prince, wouldn't it be safer to find someone to pretend to be? β
"Ridiculous!" the emperor scolded angrily on the spot and stopped Xiao Qiming.
Listen to what it's called.
Is this what he should say as a prince?
It's just a matter of talking about it in private, and saying it in front of all the courtiers!
"Your Majesty, the minister believes that this important task belongs to His Royal Highness the War King. "Captain Zhao is kind and kind-eyed, but his eyes are full of calculations.
Everyone looked shocked and couldn't believe it.
is worthy of Taiwei Zhao, I really dare to say it.
That's His Royal Highness the King of War, murderous and merciless.
Is the surname Zhao tired?
As soon as Taiwei Zhao's words fell, a cold voice came from behind everyone.
"It must be this king, but this king wants to ask what kind of truth this is. β
Everyone, including the emperor, looked at the entrance of the hall.
It's His Royal Highness the War King!
He came from the barracks......
