The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 288 Stupid
Xie Xi was not distracted by the emperor, and continued to stare at the topic just now: "Second brother, in order to exclude me from the peace negotiation, did not hesitate to draw fire on Susu, father, what you said about brotherly killing is true. Say this?"

The emperor froze in response to this question, paused for a few breaths, a look of desolation suddenly flashed across his face, and asked: "I have exiled my brothers, alienated the queen, and now, even my sons are starting to fight each other. Little four Son, tell me, did my emperor fail very well?"

Neither Xie Xi nor Lin Zisu expected the emperor to say such a thing, so they all looked at the emperor.

Lin Zisu was afraid that Xie Xi would say something that would irritate the emperor, so she quickly answered, "Your Majesty is benevolent and tolerant, comparable to Yao and Shun. Even if there are inhumane things, it is a plan for all ages."

The emperor shook his head and said: "Su girl, you don't need to speak well of me, I still have some self-knowledge, let alone Yao and Shun, even Emperor Ruizong Xuan, I can't hold a candle to him."

Lin Zisu didn't know how to comfort Xie Xi for a while, so she glanced at Xie Xi and signaled for him to speak.

Xie Xi walked up to the emperor, and said lazily, "Father, you just have too many worries. You are the lord of a country. You can do whatever you want. Do you have to look at the faces of the people below? Besides, you This cloud-covered meal, in front of your son, you can't speak clearly and well, why are you so depressed all of a sudden?"

The emperor glanced at Xie Xi, and asked with probing eyes: "Little Si'er, tell me the truth, how much do you really know about what happened in Shili Town last month?"

"As soon as I came back, I handed over the case to Dongchang. What can I know?"

Xie Xi smiled and said, waiting for the emperor's next words.

"Don't think that I don't know, you brought that spy from Beidi to the Ten Princes' Mansion, and you probably asked everything you could ask."

Xie Xi chuckled, neither admitting nor denying it.

"I heard from your second brother that during the peace talks, you and Beidi's Turut Wanhu were facing each other tit for tat. Your second brother is right?"

Xie Xi raised his eyebrows and said, "Beidi has coveted me for many years, how can I be bound by a contract? Right now, I just saw that the situation is not right, so I thought of a truce with us. It's okay for the second brother to have no experience. Father is so wise and powerful. Do you really think they are sincere?"

The emperor squinted at Xie Xi, and said: "Look at what you said, you can see it, how can I not see it? I was afraid that you would ruin the big event, so I made you withdraw from the peace talks."

"Beidi's wolf is ambitious, father knows it well, don't be like the group of civil servants below, when they hear about Beidi, they are frightened and flee."

The emperor walked a few more steps in the main hall, felt a little tired, sat back in front of the imperial case, and said in a deep voice: "Beidi set up a stronghold in my Dayan territory, murdered my people in Dayan, and collude with people around me to send me down." Poison, you have been making waves for so many years, and now the backyard is on fire, so you only think about peace talks, hum, how can there be such a cheap thing?"

Xie Xi made a solemn bow to the emperor, and said, "Father, the emperor is wise!"

The emperor didn't want to say too much about this matter, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about your business. Do you know why I don't let you intervene in the Shili Town case?"

"Naturally, the case is complicated, and the emperor was afraid that his son would be tired, so he let Dongchang take over the case."

Xie Xi said it politely, but there was no respect on his face. The emperor said angrily: "Stop pretending to me, and tell me clearly. This case involves your third brother. What are you? When did you know?"

"My son also heard from Susu that the poison in Shili Town and your poison all used one of them. I just searched along this line at random. I accidentally found three brother's head."

Xie Xi said with a smile on his face, and looked at Lin Zisu involuntarily.

Hearing what Xie Xi said, Lin Zisu remembered that she had written a medicine description to Xie Xi.

At that time, I thought it was Beidi sneaking into the palace, but I didn't expect that the third prince Xie Hui colluded with Beidi.

The collusion between the majestic Prince Dayan and Beidi is really appalling.

It stands to reason that even if they collude with Beidi, they must seek some benefits.

But giving the emperor chronic poison is a bit unbelievable.

Xie Hui is a prince with no power and power, and neither he nor heir. With the emperor around, Xie Hui's situation may be better. If Xie Yao becomes emperor, how can he benefit Xie Hui with his current relationship in the harem?

Even if the emperor died of poisoning, it would not be Xie Hui's turn to be emperor. In the end, it was Xie Yao's advantage.

How could someone like Xie Hui, who likes to plan, do such stupid things?
Where Lin Zisu's thoughts moved, the emperor and Xie Xi had already expressed their respective guesses.

"From childhood to adulthood, Xiao San'er has been a thoughtful person. Right now, I only know that he has been in contact with Beidi. As for the matter of poisoning me, I am still investigating. Sooner or later, the truth will come to light. So I will lock him up first. In the palace, these days, you are not allowed to act rashly and ruin my plan!"

"My son thought that the third brother planned so much because he wanted to be the next Uncle Wei."

Hearing Xie Xi mention King Wei, the emperor immediately thought of King Wei's status and favor over the years.

Before committing crimes, King Wei had an unprecedented position in Dayan, which indeed made many vassals tempted.

The emperor nodded and said: "It makes sense, that's why he colludes with King Wei inside and outside in an attempt to influence the court situation. If it weren't for his little tricks behind the scenes, I would be able to tolerate him. I'm afraid that others will not be as popular as snakes. After Rong Chong, I still want to meddle in the government, if so, I would rather not have this son!"

Hearing this, Lin Zisu couldn't help thinking that in the last life, Xie Hui's reputation in the court seemed to be surprisingly good, even in the far south of Lingnan, the praise in the court was endless.

Judging from these events in this life, Xie Hui's rebellion in the previous life was simply planned for a long time.

Otherwise, it would not have been so swift and violent from the moment the soldiers rose to the city.

It's ridiculous that Xie Yao has been kept in the dark, until he was forced into the palace, he still thought that Xie Hui's rebellion would be extinguished sooner or later.

Unaware of the general trend, ignorant of the general situation, regardless of the overall situation, let someone like Xie Yao become the emperor, how can Dayan be undefeated?
Lin Zisu was thinking about how to persuade the emperor, only to hear the emperor say again: "It's the misfortune of the Tian family to fight in the same room. If there is a dispute because of this, the country will be safe for a long time! Now I'm not dead yet, your second brother Just messing around with the third brother..."

Speaking of this, the emperor paused, and then said: "Little Si, you must not let me down again!"
