The emperor is worthy of being an emperor. In just a few words, he realized the key point from Xiao Wenjun's words.
Since there is no problem with the ingredients in the prescription, the problem lies in the steps of brewing and delivering the medicine. However, these steps are usually followed by many people, and finally there are dedicated people testing the poison...
If you don't think about it, forget it, but when you think about it carefully, it's actually terrifying! Could it be that this team of eunuchs has been infiltrated by someone?
However, in the emperor's view, everything Xiao Wenjun did recently was very purposeful, as if everything was under her control.
But what Xiao Wenjun said was somewhat true or false. The emperor didn't know. For the sake of the emperor's face, he had suppressed the Xiao family for decades. When he saw Xiao Wenjun today and saw the shadow of Mrs. Xiao, the emperor actually felt
A sense of security.
The emperor pondered for a long time and finally decided to give himself a step up and give the Xiao family a trust.
"Okay! Just what you said! But do you know that your words will kill many people?" The emperor was going to let the Imperial Guard secretly investigate these related eunuchs and maids. He didn't care about the lives and deaths of these people, but he was concerned about the lives of these people.
He was always cautious about making such groundless rumors.
"If what Wenjun said is false, I am willing to be punished!" Xiao Wenjun said firmly.
"Like, you really look like your grandmother!" In the emperor's eyes, Xiao Wenjun's righteous look brought him back to decades ago.
Although Xiao Wenjun is young, the childishness on his face has long since faded away. This is the firm look that can only be seen by people who have experienced life, death, and despair.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!" Seeing the emperor praising her so much, Xiao Wenjun almost said that she wanted to divorce, but she knew that she was not qualified now.
After all, asking His Majesty to take back his life in front of him not only slapped Yu Wenyao in the face, but also slapped himself in the face. Although Xiao Wenjun has gained some favor now, he is afraid that if he opens his mouth, he will completely wipe out this little bit of goodwill.
"You guys should step back first! An Shi, the people from the Xuan Gong Wei Department are here!" the emperor said, which was regarded as an order to expel everyone.
Xiao Wenjun knew, however, that the emperor originally wanted to ask him a lot of things, but in the end he was left with only the confusing sentence "resembling his grandmother". Maybe only the emperor himself knew what he really wanted to ask!
In fact, the emperor's original intention of leaving Xiao Wenjun behind was to rekindle the power of the Xiao family by showing favor to Xiao Wenjun. Recently, there has been a severe drought in Xiliang, and the life of the outsiders has been very difficult, so they intend to go south and fight back to the pass.
For decades, the generals of Da Qi had been pampered and could not be reused. Although the foreign thieves were hard-working, they had constant civil wars and had recently become unified. They were the masters of tigers and wolves.
Xiao Wenjun's performance today is exactly in line with the emperor's wishes. The border is in a hurry, and the second son of King Lanling is stationed at the border. Although his official position is not high, the emperor wants to take advantage of the Xiao family's momentum, otherwise once the killing comes, he will be like a devastation.
, it breaks when touched.
When the left and right armies suffered a disastrous defeat, it was the central army led by the Xiao family who, regardless of the opponent's encirclement, killed the generals and gained a tragic victory.
With the Xiao family's banner in charge, the other party must also weigh their own importance.
"An Shi, what is this Xiao Wenjun capable of?" The emperor became more and more curious about Xiao Wenjun. He really couldn't see through it. The vicissitudes in the eyes of a young woman were no less than his own.
How many life and death moments and desperate situations has she experienced?
"Your Majesty, this Xiao Wenjun has been with Xiao Dao on expeditions since he was a child. He is really unique among the Xiao family's children." Eunuch An replied.
The emperor mentioned Xiao Wenjun's name in front of him more than once. During this period, he specially ordered people to collect all kinds of information about Xiao Wenjun. If you look carefully, you can see that this girl is indeed not simple.
"Don't like red clothes and love armed forces? It's really different!"
"But later, Xiao Wenjun returned to Lanling. No one was there to take care of him. It was as if he had changed into a different person. He was submissive in everything and suffered all the humiliation."
"It seems that the death of Xiao Daoyuan and his wife had a profound impact on her!"
"Until this year, Xiao Wenjun seemed to be a different person..." Eunuch An described Xiao Wenjun's various deeds vividly, as if telling a story. Obviously, he even described all the details with great precision.
"Killing relatives out of righteousness, inheriting the family head, breaking into the den of thieves alone, challenging the prince's mansion, rehearsing the Mid-Autumn Festival, every one of them is beyond the capabilities of ordinary people!" The emperor was concerned about world affairs and had always had little interest in such things. However, in
While waiting for the Archguard, I became more and more fascinated by what I heard.
"Yes! Originally, my servant thought it was someone else's nonsense. After asking around, everything turned out to be true. The right and wrong in it were far more exciting than these few words!" Eunuch An even heard that there was a storyteller in Lanling.
Composed a ditty to praise Xiao Wenjun.
"The more exciting the story is, the more extraordinary Xiao Wenjun is!" The emperor closed his eyes, thoughtfully.
"There is also the matter of Concubine Guo. According to my opinion, this girl is not completely unaware of it!" The more Mr. An said, the more he admired Xiao Wenjun. If it were him, he might not be able to do even one or two of them.
"Hmph!" The emperor snorted coldly. If he had known about Xiao Wenjun's ability earlier, how could he have been led by the nose regarding Concubine Guo?
After the emperor heard about Xiao Wenjun's deeds, he understood that what happened last night must have been framed by Concubine Guo, but Xiao Wenjun repaid her with his own treatment!
However, after hearing so much, I realized that although Xiao Wenjun was decisive in killing, he had never attacked an innocent person. This was in line with the famous saying, "I will not attack others unless they attack me, but I will attack them if they attack me."
Eunuch An was not sure whether the emperor was happy or angry, but he still had the courage to say: "In my opinion, although this Xiao Wenjun is decisive in his actions and decisive in killing, he has quite a bit of the demeanor of Mrs. Xiao back then!"
"Xiao Wenjun, what made you become like this?" The emperor's face was expressionless, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking.
For just a moment, the emperor felt that his third prince Yu Wenyao was not worthy of Xiao Wenjun.
If the other two sons had wives like Xiao Wenjun, they would grow up quickly and eventually become a wise king.
"Your Majesty, the Commander of the Guards has been waiting outside the door for a long time..." The eunuch who sent the message saw that the emperor and Eunuch An were having a very happy conversation and did not dare to disturb him, so he had to let Sun Zheng wait outside the door for two quarters of an hour until the two men finished talking.
, dared to go in and report.
Sun Zheng took on a tough job yesterday and had not thought of a breakthrough. Something big happened today. The emperor fainted. As the commander, he had been trying his best to protect the left and right sides of the hall, not daring to move even half a step.
If the emperor really had some shortcomings and he was blamed, he would definitely be involved. At that time, it would not be as simple as beheading.
"Why are you here?" The emperor frowned slightly, looked at Sun Zheng who was kneeling before His Highness, with a tired look on his face, and said in a deep voice: "That's all, come forward and talk!"
