All civil and military officials were a little numb.
Now everyone seems to be lying and playing tricks.
"Your Highness, do you... take this seriously?"
Since the Fourth Young Master holds the edict on the Zen throne written by Wu Xian himself, he is the rightful heir. This seems a bit silly for refusing the previous few times. It can obviously save a lot of trouble, so why not hide it? The officials are somewhat suspicious of the edict.
The fourth child also felt bitter in his heart that he couldn't express.
However, he knew very well that if he still had a chance to go down the steps, he would be thrown off the high platform and end up in pieces. He could only bite the bullet and continue to talk nonsense: "Of course it's serious! I didn't mention it,
It's just because the edict from the youngest son of Zen has arrived first! As a son of man, how can you disobey your biological father? As an elder brother, how can you bully your youngest brother? The country is currently in crisis. As a son of man and a minister, you should put the stability of the country as your top priority.
Instead of fighting for power and profit. I really didn’t want to cause more trouble, so I decided to hide the news. I never thought that people’s hearts are unpredictable, and not everyone is willing to think so..."
The "unpredictable people in people's hearts" mentioned by the fourth child are the fifth young master.
As soon as the fifth son heard that the Zen throne was given to the youngest, he immediately mobilized an army to invade the palace, launched a palace coup, and killed his siblings and concubine. He was so greedy for profit! He was different. He clearly held the right to inherit the right to inherit, but for the sake of
In the overall situation, I choose to be grievance and forbearance. Comparing the two, isn't the character a judge of superiority?
Say he confuses right and wrong?
Oh, the dead don't cry out.
What's wrong with letting yourself step on two feet?
The ministers felt that the Fourth Young Master's words sounded strange, but the evidence could not refute anything at the moment. Except for the Fourth Young Master's character and mind that were comparable to those of a saint, there was nothing wrong with them. Even if they had doubts, they would not care about it at the moment.
when.
Everyone looked at the clan elder with a livid face.
After several failed attacks, the latter had no chance to get close to Lao Si and was forced into a corner by the palace guards. Due to his special status, the soldiers only surrounded him but did not kill him. The actor bribed by Lao Si thought there was no hope, but he did not
After thinking about the twists and turns, it was recognized that Qingliu was stepping forward, and he sternly accused: "Your life is probably in vain, but you are a fool who is obsessed with recognizing shadows!"
Qingliu had just opened his head, and the veins on his forehead popped out. He seemed to be suffering great pain, and his eyes were about to burst. It was heart-wrenching to see - this old guy wouldn't die from anger here, would he?
The more he looked at it, the more he seemed to be filled with rage.
The rest of Qingliu's words were stuck in his throat, and he didn't know whether he should spray or not.
"puff--"
Before he could decide whether to spray or not, the clansman sprayed first.
A mouthful of old blood spurted out from his mouth and spread all over the ground.
This sudden change shocked even the guards who besieged the clan. However, they were of excellent quality and took the opportunity to capture the clan and wait for the Fourth Brother to be punished. No matter how murderous the Fourth Brother was, they could not kill him directly now.
Kill! Can’t kill!
First, the persona he just established was too good. From the perspective of a clan member, the old man only wanted to maintain the "legitimacy" of the Wu family and kill the rebels. As a magnanimous and benevolent new master, he must be tolerant.
Ya Liang; secondly, Wu Xian has to call each other uncle, how can the fourth child, as a grandchild, kill him at will? Thirdly, the fourth child now needs the power of the clan to support him.
Giving a favor is sending a friendly signal.
As a result, Lao Si ordered his clan members to be temporarily detained.
The specific disposal needs to be discussed with Zongzheng.
All the ministers praised him for his generosity.
The fourth child's smile was a little unnatural. When the chaotic court meeting was over, he was surprised to find that his underwear was wet with sweat and clinging to his skin. Everything that happened in today's court meeting was beyond his plan! He couldn't wait to leave and find out.
When Mr. Xiang reviewed the matter, the civil and military ministers were also absent-minded, and the court meeting ended in an anticlimactic manner.
"...No matter what, the situation is always good." Looking at the civil and military forces that dispersed, Lao Si's heart suddenly fell to the ground. He won this huge bet! Before the court meeting began, he made the worst plan in his mind -
—The plan failed and the body was found in another place!
As a result, there are twists and turns, and there is a bright future.
The fourth child is not in a hurry to return to the inner court at the moment.
He sent his confidants to announce the good news to Mi, telling her not to worry, and then summoned the biggest hero and savior today! If it weren't for him, he would really be in danger today. The fourth child was even more confused about why the other party had such a thing in his hand.
edict?
The fourth child waited around but no one came.
"Where are the people?"
"Already leaving the palace."
"Going so fast?" The corner of Lao Si's mouth twitched. The man left the palace in a hurry without accepting the reward or thanking him. Was he rushing to be reincarnated? He cursed in his heart. Lao Si also knew that this move was very suspicious, "Then
Just send someone to his house to invite someone!"
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
There were a lot of demonic styles today, and it was blowing one after another.
The great hero ran so fast that he was nowhere to be found.
The husband must have known about the court meeting immediately. Her delay in showing up made the fourth child suspicious. He suppressed his inexplicable irritation and sent someone to look for him, but he didn't know that the person he was looking for was in the dungeon.
.This dungeon does not house ordinary prisoners but criminal clan members, so the living environment is quite friendly.
The space is spacious but not cramped, and the smell is not unpleasant.
The guard guarding the prisoner collapsed without warning.
A burly figure quietly appeared outside the cell door.
In the cell, the angry clan member opened his eyes, sat up with his elbows bent, and stared at the void in front of him. The burly figure looked at the dried blood on the corner of the clan member's mouth and tutted: "Tragic! It's so tragic! Shen
Young pear is not a human being!"
After today's incident, even Qi Cang could see who the three edicts were aimed at. They were not aimed at Wu Xian and Gao Guo, but specifically at Mei Jinghe who performed the consummation ceremony! He spoke of sympathy and helped Mei Meng condemn Shen Tang.
, but the eyes are full of appreciation! Shen Youli's taste is so upright, she likes the one who must retaliate! A gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years, and a villain's revenge is from morning to night!
The clan's eyelids were raised, and his eyes were tilted upward to look at Qi Cang.
"Whose colleague are you?"
"My colleagues all ended badly."
The clan relative, Mei Meng, was angry again at his words. She vomited out blood again, and her chest finally felt better. She raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, endless thoughts rolling in her eyes.
Qi Cang saw that her momentum had not weakened, and he appreciated her even more. He liked people who were indomitable like this, the kind of hypocritical little bitch who would seek death after being hit once. He would be unlucky every time he saw her.
"This failed successfully, do you still want to look for another opportunity?"
"Let's talk about it again, it won't be possible in a short time."
Mei Meng covered her heart that was in severe pain due to the backlash of Wen Qi, and frowned lightly with her charming eyebrows. Not only did her heart hurt, but the position of her Dan Palace also ached faintly. She didn't need to look inside to know that Wen Palace must be in ruins at this moment.
It's not a day's work.
Qi Cang understood the meaning of Mei Meng's words.
"Oh, you still don't want to give up?"
His previous confessions were all told to dogs.
Mei Meng shook his head: "Never give up on climbing to the top!"
She raised her eyes: "Unless you die!"
In this case, Qi Cang was too lazy to persuade him. As he said, his colleagues would not end well. He held the iron door railing of the dungeon, poured a little force into it, and cut off the fine iron as thick as his arm. Mei Meng covered the wound.
He stood up staggeringly.
Just after leaving the dungeon, the sunlight poured down on her body, making her pale face almost transparent due to blood loss. She looked back at the location where the court meeting was held in the outer court. Qi Cang joked: "Why, you can't bear to leave the young man? That's right, this child
I have more than just respect and admiration for you. You are young and handsome, and you are capable of making trouble..."
Mei Meng's weak voice interrupted his ramblings.
"What happened to that edict?"
"What's the letter from the fourth child? I guess only he knows it. Maybe he doesn't know it himself. You have to ask Shen Youli about this." Qi Cang is only responsible for watching the excitement and not responsible for anything else. "You are suspicious.
, is he actually wary of you?"
In the third edict, even Qi Cang slapped his thigh and shouted, "Damn it."
"Be careful of taking advantage of him, there is always one." Mei Meng's mind changed and she made a plan, "I want to teach him the last lesson!"
Qi Cang didn't know Mei Meng's plan, but he also guessed that the fourth child would suffer.
Mei Meng added: "And the person who took out the edict!"
This great hero, who was remembered by both Mei Meng and Laosi, hurriedly returned home. Before entering the house, he was still a man, but he suddenly transformed into a female Jiao'e. In addition to her, there was also a man huddled in the corner, tied up by Yanling Wuhua. This man
His appearance and figure are exactly the same as the civil servant who took out the imperial edict in the hall today.
The woman tore off the seal of speech spirit from the man's mouth.
Men can take a breather.
"Follow me or die here!"
The woman pressed her thumb against the sword grid and pushed out the sword.
Then a sharp blade lay across the side of the man's neck.
The man gasped: "Bah! Stop—"
There was a flash of white light, and the man's eyes suddenly widened, and a slender blood streak appeared on his neck. He tried to open his mouth to say something, but the blood streak was opened by the spurting blood, and the skin and flesh of the wound were turned out, and the bones were deeply visible. The woman gave him a pleasant surprise: "
I said you either come with me or die here, why don't you believe me?"
The woman raised her hand to make a seal, blocking all the man's screams. The man's throat was cut and he lost blood. After struggling for a while, he died completely. The woman put the sword in the man's hand, stood up and left.
here.
The body in the study was discovered half a quarter of an hour later.
The fourth child was extremely shocked when he received the news.
"Suicide?"
The confidant reported back: "It seems from the scene that he committed suicide, but it is also possible that he was silenced. His subordinates sent people to torture the servants in his house, and they all said that there was nothing strange in recent days. Only two days ago, he brought back a
A woman."
"Where is the woman?"
"disappeared."
"Has the woman's identity been found out?"
A confidant said: "It is said that it was his first love affair."
Piecing together the information provided by his wife and servants, the man went on a study trip a few years ago and met a girl in a rain pavilion somewhere. It started out as a very vulgar talent and beauty, and the process was considered romantic, but conflicts arose when it came time to talk about marriage.
The man said he wanted a wife who was well-matched to his family, but the girl was from a commoner background, not even a poor family. In addition, he was urged by letters from home, so he left before he had time to explain. He never thought that this woman would still find a man after many years of wandering.
He was even brought back.
The fourth child asked: "Besides these, is there anything else?"
For example, how did the edict get into the hands of a man?
His expectations were destined to be disappointed.
The confidant didn't even find any clues. Seeing the gloomy expression on the old man's face, the confidant hurriedly said: "Your Highness, please forgive me and tolerate it for two days. I will definitely get to the bottom of the matter."
The fourth child knew clearly that it would be useless even if he tolerated for twenty days, not to mention two days. This matter was destined to end in an anticlimax.
He took a deep breath to suppress excess emotions.
Just as he was about to wave to his confidants to go down, there was a rush of footsteps outside the palace: "Your Highness, Your Highness, something bad has happened!"
"What's wrong? How inappropriate is it to make noise!"
He didn't have an attack when he saw that the person who came was a confidant of his mother Mi.
After the visitor finished speaking, the fourth child felt like the world was spinning. He held the corner of the table with his hands to keep from falling. After a long while, he asked with pale lips and scarlet eyes: "You said - are they all true?"
How can it be?
how could it be possible!
The fourth child waved away the confidant who came forward to help him.
He almost rolled up to his feet and staggered to the inner court.
Passing through the palace passage, the corpses here have been cleaned up, and the blood stains on the ground have been cleaned up, but the air is always filled with the nauseating and stomach-turning smell of blood. The fourth son turned pale after smelling it several times, and forced himself to go to the inner court, where he saw
Mother Mi.
There were also several corpses covered with white cloth lying neatly in the hall.
News came from the palace people that something big happened in the inner court.
Three more concubines died.
For Lao Si, he didn't care as long as the dead woman was not his biological mother or sister, but this time he had to care because the three dead women had close relationships with the former powerful families! They also had interests with Lao Wu's family.
Their death means that he loses the opportunity to ease relations with the Laowu mother clan! Not only can he not win over the families behind the three of them, but he also risks being backstabbed by them! Just thinking about it makes his hair stand on end!
"How could they die!"
Lao Si tried his best to suppress his fear and anger.
Mi said: "I don't know either."
She really doesn't know.
"When they die, we, mother and son, will also be buried with them!"
The family behind them will not give up!
Last night, we were able to take advantage of the chaos and kill a few people, eradicate the dissidents, and put the blame on Old Five. How can the dead settle the accounts now?
The mother and son looked at each other from a distance of two feet. Mi saw the negative emotions surging in his eyes. It made her heartache even if it wasn't blame. But she couldn't care about it at the moment: "However, there are also doubts about the candidate. Have you seen your
aunt?"
There was a bang.
Something exploded in the fourth child's mind.
He took a step back almost numbly.
The dark clouds that had been hanging over my heart since the end of the court meeting expanded crazily, swallowing up all the remaining hope. The old man's mind kept flashing back to what he had done after he appeared, and there was no one that didn't help him, and there was no one that didn't help him... This time
People are smart and wise, which is what he lacks. My husband is both a staff member and an elder. She is the only one who understands some of the troubles that I cannot talk to my mother.
To a certain extent, he became more attuned to his husband.
result--
"They're all liars!"
Mi said: "It's because my mother knows people but doesn't understand them."
——
"Done!"
On the third day of the second palace change in Gao Kingdom, Shen Tang received a letter from a mysterious blue bird. When she opened it, she found that it was full of dots and horizontal lines. She read the encrypted letter at a glance, and her eyebrows were completely stretched, "Gao Kingdom has been busy recently.
Very good."
I just had some free time and went to Shangnan to have a look.
