[Da Qiankang Yuan 71st, April 15th, Haishi, Jiazi No. 16 cell]

After sending Mingyue and Ding Chunqiu away, Xu Ke leaned on the bed board alone, and his mood became gloomy and depressed again.

He tossed and turned, unable to sleep, not because he disliked the stiffness of the bed, but because he had a great worry in his gloomy and depressed mind......

He was worried about Sister Hu and Brother Shuxian in the Xu Mansion.

Xu Ke repeatedly pondered and tasted the last decree of the Son of Heaven today, although this decree was clear, but it sounded like the Son of Heaven's dictation. In his holy oracle, the Son of Heaven said that there was a big demon hidden in his house, and that he could bear to see King Han innocently die? Obviously, the Son of Heaven had already sprinkled all his resentment about King Han's killing on the two "big demons" in his house.

Xu Ke leaned back on the bed, constantly thinking in his heart, when he thought that Sister Hu, Brother Shuxian and Mao Jiaojiao, who killed King Han, were actually sworn brothers and sisters, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart:

"Speaking of which, the emperor blames me, but it is not unreasonable. On that day, Sister Hu had already explained to me that Mao Jiaojiao was hiding in Cuiyun Tower, if I had done it earlier, why would I have caused King Han to die suddenly in Cuiyun Tower? No matter how cynical King Han is, after all, he is the emperor's beloved son, and the emperor has suffered the pain of losing his son at this age, and today he will calculate this account on my Xu Ke's head, but it is also reasonable!"

"As the deputy envoy of the demon hunt, it was originally my duty to catch the cat demon and defend Chang'an! But I knew that Mao Jiaojiao was the cat demon, the previous time in the dense forest in the south of the city, I had let her go with my own hands, and the next time I heard that she was hiding in Cuiyun Tower, I didn't take any action, Brother Nangong wanted to lead the troops to hunt the demon, but I stopped her for no reason...... This gave that cat demon a chance to take advantage of it, and finally killed King Han! In this way, with the death of King Han, I, Xu Ke, really can't escape the charge of 'dereliction of duty'! Even, I can be regarded as half of the murderer who killed King Han!"

"In the early dynasty of the Hanyuan Hall on the first day of the fourth lunar month, I didn't give the emperor the slightest son in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and I actually exposed the ugly thing of 'King Han privately opened Cuiyun Tower' in public, so that the emperor almost couldn't get off the stage, although this move saved Mingyue, but it also lost all my royal face! I am so reckless and impulsive, regardless of the general disorderly behavior, in the future, what big things can I achieve?!"

"In the mind of the Son of Heaven, my first mistake was to indulge the cat demon to harm people, resulting in the tragic death of the prince; my second mistake was to expose the scandal of King Han in public, so that the temple would be disgraced; my third mistake was to be in the company of the cat demon's sister and brother, knowing the whereabouts of the cat demon, but deliberately concealing it and not reporting it! cough ...... I, Xu Ke, have these three major mistakes, and today, it is no wonder that the Son of Heaven wants to take me from his post and put me in prison, and I will be imprisoned in this No. 16 prison!"

"However, all these faults can be borne by me Xu Ke alone, the Son of Heaven wants to kill or chop, and I Xu Ke is coming alone, don't go to my Xu Mansion for the trouble of Sister Hu and Brother Shuxian!"

"Ahem! Why hasn't Brother Shuxian been to the Imperial Prison for ten days in a row? What is the situation at home, I am here at the moment, and I don't know at all, this is really anxious!"

......

Xu Ke was so worried, anxious and cranky, and unconsciously, he fell asleep for a while. However, he closed his eyes and was hazy, but he suddenly heard a familiar voice outside the door, someone was asking the guard guarding the door, Xu Ke heard the person's voice, and immediately rejoiced, Brother Nangong is here!

Sure enough, as soon as the cell door opened, Nangong's silent slender and handsome figure had already strode into the cell.

"Virtuous brother!"

"Brother Nangong!"

The two walked together, their hands clasped together, Xu Ke couldn't help but be moved, at this time, he came to visit the prison late at night, which shows that this Nangong brother loves him deeply.

As soon as Xu Ke opened his mouth, he asked eagerly:

"Brother Nangong, apart from taking me from his post and putting me in prison, does the emperor have any other will?"

"......What do you mean by Brother Xian?"

Xu Ke asked in a low voice:

"Has the emperor ever issued an order to arrest people in my house?"

"This ......," Nangong couldn't help but hesitate.

"Brother Nangong, did the emperor really order someone to surround my Xu Mansion? Is it Shen Huan?" Seeing that Nangong was silent and hesitant, Xu Ke was even more anxious.

"No!" Nangong was silent, and suddenly, as if he had made up his mind, he replied in a deep voice.

"Is there really not? The emperor really has no other will?"

"Not really!"

Seeing Nangong silently answering in such a deep voice, Xu Ke's heart was a little calmer, and he hurriedly walked half a step closer, almost whispering to Nangong in his ear:

"Brother Nangong, can the junior brother bother you?"

"Brother Xian, please speak!"

"Can you please invite Brother Nangong to my mansion and tell my old brother who is a scholar and immortal, so that they can all leave the Xu Mansion for the time being and go to another place to live first!"

"This ......"

"Brother Nangong, please!"

Speaking of this, Xu Ke leaned down towards Nangong silently, wanting to make a big salute, Nangong silently helped him up, nodded and said:

"Don't worry, brother foolish, brother, know!"

"Thank you, Brother Nangong!"

At this moment, Nangong was silent, watching Xu Ke bow to him, but he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart:

"Brother Xian, Brother Xian, you really know that those two people in your family are the big demons in the world! But why do you know that they are two demons, and you are willing to fall, and you don't hesitate to have a good future, but you are with demons all day long?!"

"It seems that this time King Han was killed by the cat demon, and you can't escape it! As the deputy envoy of the demon hunt, you actually stay with the demon all day long, are you, and the cat demon has long been linked? No wonder the emperor is angry, this time, the foolish brother can't listen to you!"

"Brother Fool will lead troops to your Xu Mansion tomorrow, and when the time comes, Brother Fool should do his best to capture the two demons hidden in your Mansion and hand them over to the Imperial Front! If Brother Fool does not do this, how can he appease the anger of the Son of Heaven? If the anger of the Son of Heaven cannot be calmed, how can Brother Fool help you get rid of your crimes? Brother Xian, I hope that you can understand Brother Fool's distress in the future, Brother Fool is so troublesome, this is also helping you!"

......

......

And almost at the same time, in the Biyun Residence of the Jin Palace, Li Ci, the King of Jin, still withdrew a group of subordinates, and sat in the study of the palace with Song Jinhua and Kang Youren to discuss secretly.

The three of them had been talking for more than an hour, until the end of the day, and it was time for this secret discussion in the palace to end. 1234

Kang Youren suddenly thought about it, and then asked with a smile:

Now everything is in the prince's plan, but now that Xu Ke is still in the edict unharmed, the prince doesn't want to ...... Make a way to get rid of him?"

Li Ci asked rhetorically: "How can you get rid of it?!" The edict prison is no better than the cell outside, where it is heavily guarded, especially the A-shaped cell, and there are three large iron gates in the middle, if there are no people from us, there is no way at all!"

Kang Youren said: "Lord Wang, there is a miracle medicine in my Kangmen, called 'Baihua Pill'. This medicine is colorless and tasteless, most people, as long as they eat a little bit, they will immediately fall to the ground and die, and when they die, they are silent, and their faces are like ordinary people, and they can't find out the cause of death. The prince only needs to buy off a prison guard who delivers food, and this matter is done!"

Song Jinhua couldn't help but ask: "This 'Hundred Flowers Pill' was originally dedicated to the King of Chu by you, right?"

Kang Youren hurriedly said: "Exactly! It's a pity that the internal response in the edict prison that the King of Chu bought that day was not enough to succeed and more than to fail, so he actually took the poison to himself for no reason!"

Song Jinhua said: "I'm afraid, it's not that simple, right? Why didn't he poison that Sun Xun, but he took the poison and died?

Kang Youren was about to argue with Song Jinhua, but Li Ci waved his hand and instructed Kang Youren:

"Xiaokang, you first bring the Hundred Flower Pills to this king!"

Kang Youren hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, this medicine is very precious, there are only two in the small hand, and one has been used up before......"

"Then you will bring the remaining one tomorrow!"

Kang Youren was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said:

"Yes, the little one will be sent to the prince early tomorrow morning!"

Song Jinhua said worriedly: "Your Highness, my subordinates think that it is better to be careful in this matter! After all, Xu Ke is still a disciple of the Divine King Pavilion, and he is also the junior disciple of His Royal Highness King Zhao, if he suddenly dies in the Imperial Prison, will the emperor be suspicious?"

Kang Youren snorted coldly: "Brother Song, are you ...... Still thinking about the past friendship with Xu Ke, I am reluctant to start?"

Song Jinhua said angrily: "What do you mean?!"

Kang Youren said without yin or yang: "What do you mean? What do you mean, you know it in your heart!"

"Alright!" Li Xi slapped the table and stopped the two from arguing.

He didn't reprimand Song Jinhua, but said angrily to Kang Youren:

"Xiaokang, in front of this king, how dare you be so unruly! Jinhua, like you, is the king's henchman, in the future, you must not talk to him like this!"

Kang Youren was unhappy, but he had to bow his hand and say: "What the prince admonishes is that if his subordinates lose their words for a while, the prince will forgive his sins!"

"Stand down!"

"Yes!"

......

After Kang Youren left, Li Qi faced Song Jinhua and said with some dissatisfaction:

"Jinhua, your attitude today is not right!"

Song Jinhua pointed to the direction in which Kang Youren left, and said angrily:

"Look at his villain's face! If this kind of person stays around, sooner or later he will be a scourge!"

Li Ci raised his face and said coldly:

"I'm not talking about your attitude towards Kang Youren, I'm talking about your attitude towards Xu Ke!"

Song Jinhua didn't have a good face, and still argued for himself:

"I'm not against you dealing with Xu Ke, but isn't it a bit too hasty to kill him like this now?"

"Do you know what it means to 'raise a tiger for trouble'? Today, the tiger is in the cage, if you don't get rid of him, and tomorrow, the tiger will return to the mountains and forests, and if you want to do it again, it will be too late!"

"However, there are masters everywhere in the Tsing Yi Guard, so it's too risky to kill a person like this, isn't it?

"Haha! Jinhua, don't worry, last time, the reason why my eldest brother didn't succeed was that he only bought a small corner in Tsing Yiwei, this time it's different!"

"How...... This time, you caught a big fish?"

"Hah! I don't need to go fishing, he took the initiative to come!"

"Oh, in the Tsing Yi Guard, there will be people who will take the initiative to take refuge?"

"Haha......" Li Ci couldn't help but nodded, and said with a triumphant smile:

"This person, you would never have imagined!"

Song Jinhua also showed joy on his face, and arched his hand towards Li Ci and said: "Then the lower official should congratulate His Highness, and congratulate His Highness!

Li Ci's face suddenly turned pale, and he said:

"You take Kang Youren's 'Hundred Flowers Pill' tomorrow and go to see someone for this king. ”

"Who?"

"Tsing Yi Wei, Shen Huan!"
