In the Chengqian Palace, Liu Xinyan stood in front of Ye Jinjue: "Your Majesty, Prince Yuan has begun to eliminate various hidden connections and forces in the palace. Even Princess Yuan has been imprisoned in a cell by him."
Ye Jinjue sneered: "Princess Yuan has no power to begin with. As for the women he married in the palace, one is the prime minister's daughter, one is the daughter of a general, and one is the daughter of a great scholar."
Liu Xinyan smiled: "But, Your Majesty, aren't the people he left behind just these ladies with heavy fists?"
Liu Xinyan paused: "The Liu family has always been on the side of the emperor, and Xinmei is just a cover. Now that Xinmei is pregnant with his child, the palace has become unstable. It seems that someone wants to break the
Peace in the palace."
Ye Jinjue paced back and forth in the dimly lit room.
Liu Xinyan's bright red brocade robe is embroidered with a flying phoenix, showing her unrivaled dignity.
Ye Jinjue said, "I wonder what the queen is thinking?"
Liu Xinyan couldn't guess Ye Jinjue's thoughts, but she still said: "Xinmei told me that someone assassinated her, but after investigation, I found out that it was actually Princess Yuan who sent someone to do it. But according to Xinmei, it was
Mrs. Qiu Jin did something behind her back, and Princess Yuan became the scapegoat."
Ye Jinjue frowned, his dark vulture eyes dark and unclear.
After a long time, he said: "Queen, you know very well what is going on in Prince Yuan's palace."
Liu Xinyan's heart moved, and she looked at the man she loved deeply in front of her, her eyes shining: "Your Majesty, it is my duty to be able to share your worries. However, according to my opinion, it may be General Wei
There has been some kind of agreement between them and Prince Yuan."
Ye Jinjue slapped the tea cup in his hand: "I didn't expect that he would still have such thoughts!"
Although General Wei held military power in his hands, he rarely interfered with the affairs of the court.
Ye Jinjue originally thought that General Wei would remain neutral, but unexpectedly he and Ye Liyuan secretly formed a secret relationship and had reached some kind of agreement long ago.
Liu Xinyan continued to add insult to injury: "Your Majesty, how can he not complain when he feeds tigers and leopards grass?"
Ye Jinjue clenched the armrests of the dragon chair: "It seems like we can only take action against him."
Liu Xinyan smiled brightly: "Your Majesty has learned from this."
The night was blurry, and the situation in the entire Jinhui Dynasty began to become turbulent again.
Bai Qiqian is still living her life as a queen in the dungeon, with people sent from the Moon Palace to serve her, so she is at ease.
When Bai Qiqian had nothing to do, she thought of Lin Huang'er's incident.
She asked the maid next to her in a low voice: "In the past few days, Lin Huang'er has been out of the house, what has he done and what has he bought?"
The maid next to her is from the Moon Palace, and she usually helps Bai Qiqian get some information.
"Palace Master, Lin Huang'er went to several medicine halls and several silk and satin shops, but she didn't buy anything."
"Medicine hall? Silk shop?" Bai Qiqian suddenly remembered what she heard Lin Huang'er said to Lin Xiaotian that day. In this case, didn't they really make clothes that were poisonous to people?
"Perhaps Lin Huang'er just walked around and took a look, but Lin Huang'er doesn't look like someone who is interested in these things."
"Xiaoyue, do you know who the owner of the silk and satin shop is?"
"Lin Xiaotian."
Bai Qiqian smiled slightly, and the smile gradually widened at the corner of her mouth: "Xiaoyue, come here, I have something to tell you."
Bai Qiqian explained the matter clearly in Xiaoyue's ear.
Xiaoyue's face was a little cautious, but she just kept nodding: "Well, Xiaoyue understands, Palace Master, please rest assured."
Xiaoyue's figure flashed and she disappeared into the dungeon. The guard guarding the door was still in a daze, leaning listlessly against the wall, seemingly turning a blind eye to the various situations happening in the dungeon.
On a dark, windy night, it's the time to kill people and steal goods.
That night, the weather was cold and gloomy, with dark clouds and heavy snow falling one after another. The atmosphere in the entire palace was particularly depressing.
Ye Liyuan squinted his eyes, stared at the scenery outside the window, and said slowly and leisurely: "Sure enough, the weather is going to change. I just don't know who will usher in next spring."
Zhuge Lanling stood behind him, his eyes flashing: "Do you want to send troops?"
Ye Liyuan lowered his eyebrows: "When I get the military power from General Wei, I can naturally fight with him and take back the throne that originally belonged to me."
Zhuge Lanling shook his head: "Li Yuan, it would be unwise for you to do this. If you send out troops rashly, then the troops of King Qin from all over the country will be dispatched one after another. Even if you use your troops like a god, it will be difficult to withstand all kinds of complicated things in the country."
Ye Liyuan snorted coldly: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. If I win, I will naturally compile the history book."
The corner of Zhuge Lanling's mouth curved slightly: "I have endured it for so many years, why can't I bear it anymore? Without a good reason, you launch a mutiny and suppress the population. When the time comes..."
Ye Liyuan naturally knew everything Zhuge Lanling said.
However, for the sake of the person now imprisoned in the dungeon, he really couldn't wait any longer.
He can't even protect his own woman, so this prince is truly a coward.
Ye Liyuan sighed: "If we had that edict in our hands, we wouldn't have to endure it for so many years. With the edict in hand, we can find out the truth about my father's death. Ye Jinjue's position as emperor may not be stable.
"
Zhuge Lanling's heart moved, and in the blink of an eye, his little thoughts changed thousands of times.
At this time, a loud noise was heard outside the palace. Ye Liyuan stepped out of the threshold and asked, "What happened?"
A guard replied: "Your Majesty, it seems something happened over there in the dungeon."
Ye Liyuan's eyes dimmed instantly: "What happened over there in the dungeon?"
The guard looked at Ye Liyuan's gloomy face and touched the cold sweat on his forehead: "The person who ran over just now said that a group of assassins appeared in the dungeon."
Ye Liyuan immediately pursed his lips and rushed towards the dungeon.
Zhuge Lanling stood behind him, shook his head and sighed: "Li Yuan, you are so passionate, you are really not suitable to be a king." Since ancient times, emperors have been ruthless and loveless, but he seems to be ruthless, but he is always merciful.
How could such a person be suitable to be an emperor?
However, it is precisely because of his kindness and soft-heartedness that if he is in power, he will definitely be a good monarch who benefits the people.
Many guards surrounded the dungeon, waiting for Ye Liyuan's arrival.
The masked woman held a dagger in her hand and placed it on the neck of the chief guard: "You'd better let the princess go, or I'll kill him."
Ye Liyuan came over anxiously, but saw such a scene.
He was stunned: "Who are you?"
The woman raised her eyebrows and said, "Let the princess go."
Ye Liyuan snorted coldly: "Nothing has been verified now. She is a criminal suspect. How can I let her go?"
Bai Qiqian said a little unfairly: "Your Majesty, I don't know her."
The woman seemed to look at Bai Qiqian in disbelief and murmured: "Princess, how could you not know me? I am Cai'er. I can't bear the suffering you have in the dungeon, so I came here specifically to rob you."
Is she here to rob the prison?
With her little skills, how could she escape from prison? What's more, her hand holding the dagger was trembling slightly. However, the men in black just now were very skilled and directly touched the acupuncture points of the captain of the guard.
, and then threw it to Cai'er.
Of course, Bai Qiqian understands the purpose of this play.
I want to get rid of her to avoid future troubles.
Ye Liyuan said coldly: "My dear princess, these men in black are indeed sent by you."
Bai Qiqian's face was panicked, and her eyes were full of tears. She looked at Ye Liyuan pitifully, pretending to be greatly wronged: "Your Majesty, I am really wronged."
"Huh, you were wronged. If you were wronged, would someone else come to rob the prison for you?" Ye Liyuan said angrily, "Could it be that you think that I am a three-year-old child, so you are so easily deceived?"
"Princess, Cai'er has good intentions, why do you treat Cai'er like this?" Cai'er was still acting aside, "Princess, Cai'er treats the princess sincerely."
"Cai'er, if you tell the truth about what she did, I will spare your life."
"Cai'er..." The dagger in Cai'er's hand fell to the ground, and she covered her face and cried, "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...Cai'er won't tell. How could Cai'er betray the princess? No, Cai'er won't betray.
princess……"
"She is really a loyal maid. Huh, here, please imprison the two of them together and keep them under strict supervision."
Ye Liyuan glanced at Bai Qiqian and Cai'er with cold eyes, their cold faces full of cruelty.
Cai'er shivered: "Your Majesty..."
Ye Liyuan's tone was cold: "Cai'er, I will give you time to think clearly. If you don't explain, then you will die with your master."
Cai'er's body was shaken, and she was imprisoned in prison together with Bai Qiqian, full of grievances.
After everyone left, Bai Qiqian looked at Cai'er lazily: "Who ordered you to come and frame me?"
Cai'er glanced at Bai Qiqian disdainfully: "How could I harm you? I am loyal to you."
Bai Qiqian walked up to Cai'er in an instant, with a sneer on her lips: "You are so loyal. If you were loyal to me, you wouldn't bluff and come to rob the prison. Humph, don't think that I don't know your purpose.
."
Bai Qiqian's hand pinched Cai'er's wrist. As long as she exerted a little force, Cai'er's hand was useless.
The pride on Cai'er's face finally fell: "Princess, Cai'er really wants to save you."
Bai Qiqian let go of her hand and looked at Cai'er with contempt: "You think I don't know? You came to rob the prison just to prove my crime. Haha, I think you will cry in front of the prince tomorrow.
What did I do?"
Cai'er's face changed instantly and she stammered: "Princess..."
Bai Qiqian said angrily: "It doesn't matter, since you want to frame me, I will do what you want."
After saying that, Bai Qiqian lay down on the ground and closed her eyes. She didn't know if she fell asleep.
Cai'er felt a dark wind blowing behind her, and something seemed to happen soon.
