Jiang Nan was startled awake, her eyes opened suddenly, full of bottomless sadness.

Nanny Xu shook her shoulders vigorously: "Finally woke up! The princess hastened to wash up, the emperor sent you to the Tai Chi Hall for questioning!"

"Now?" Jiang Nan was forcibly withdrawn from her deep sleep, feeling exhausted.

The sky outside the window is still silent, not yet dawn.

I don't know how many days it is, I only know that the surrounding area is eerily quiet.

She wondered in a daze, if she could be reborn, maybe others could too. Could Fu Qi be the reborn Gu Run?
As soon as this year came out, Jiang Nan's back felt cold.

"The people who came back from Longshan Temple are all being held in the Tai Chi Hall at this moment. We don't know what the situation is. We only know that Longyan is furious and sleepless tonight!" Madam Xu dressed Jiang Nan neatly, her voice soft.

"It's good for you. You slept so soundly that you couldn't even wake up. You still have time to have a dream. What rebirth are you shouting about? Everyone is dead, why do you want to be reborn?" Mother Xu read, holding Comb to tie Jiang Nan's hair.

The queen was so worried that she couldn't sleep at night, she ran all night for Jiang Nan, and even the Changle Palace was sealed up and down.

Jiang Nan's eyes flashed: "It's nonsense in the dream, it can't be true!"

"Be smart for a while, and you must never answer what you shouldn't, or you will pass out if the worst happens!" Madam Xu said firmly, as if it was nothing serious, but she felt panicked in her heart.

In two or three strokes, Jiang Nan was cleaned up neatly, but she seemed haggard and looked like a sick Xishi.

After going out, the queen was already waiting at the gate of Changle Palace. When she saw Jiang Nan coming out, she gave an annoyed look, and took the lead to step down the stone steps and headed for Tai Chi Hall. Jiang Nan followed closely.

Inside the Tai Chi Hall, people kneeled all over the ground.

Concubine Duan Qingli and others were escorted back directly from Longshan Temple. Xie Bai and Princess Beichen returned to Beijing early, Princess Beichen fell ill in bed, and Xie Bai was called into the palace overnight.

The most wronged person is Mrs. Zheng Guo. She could have returned to Beijing earlier. It was a fluke. She wanted to wait for everyone to disperse and find Concubine Duan to have a good chat. She didn't expect to wait until Prince Kulie was assassinated and Longshan Temple was surrounded. , I can't even walk if I want to.

People who have been to Longshan Temple today, one counts as one, and two counts as two, and all of them will be interrogated.

"Tell me one by one, in every detail! What are you going to do at Longshan Temple?" The emperor had a severe headache, squinted his dull eyes, and gave an order in a deep voice.

In the presence, no one dared to be this outstanding person, and they hung their heads and dared not speak.

"I'm giving you a chance. All the slaves around you are already tortured in the court. If you recruit something, you won't be left alone!" The emperor spoke slowly, but with a loud voice, as if a sharp knife was placed on everyone. neck.

Qingli was the first to speak and said: "Father, you know that I went today to pray for my marriage. It must be because the heavens did not allow me to go to Da Zhou to marry, so I took Hu Lie's life!"

"Qingli!" Concubine Duan was shocked, and quietly pulled down Qingli's sleeve.

Sure enough, the emperor's British eyes slightly opened, and he glanced at Qingli coldly: "Man-made disaster, you say it's a natural disaster, can't you kill it?"

"Father, how dare my son kill someone?" Qingli shook her head in denial.

"Your Majesty, we were all praying in the main hall at that time, and all the monks can testify to us! People from the East Palace are here today!" Jiang Yuan prostrated herself on the ground and rescued Qing Li, who immediately looked at her gratefully.

"The princess will be here in a while!" The emperor glanced at Concubine Duan, and said coldly, "What about you? I heard that you have not been in the hall for a long time! If you don't pray well, what are you doing in the meditation room?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed drastically, and their thoughts were different.

"Going back to the emperor, my concubine is not feeling well, so I went to rest in the Zen room early!" Concubine Duan knelt down on the ground, her hands and feet were trembling, she did not dare to look up at the emperor.

She would rather bear the crime of killing Hulie than admit that she had an affair with Xie Bai.

The concubine's private meeting with the prince of the current dynasty will not only make her never stand up in this life, but also cause Qingli to be rejected and unable to hold her head up for the rest of her life.

At least there is room for maneuver in killing Hulie. After the limelight passes, she can operate it. When the two countries fight, she will transform into a hero who kills the enemy, and there is a possibility of regaining her favor.

"What about you? Why did you go to Longshan Temple so well?" The emperor looked at Xie Bai with indifference in his eyes, as if looking at an innocuous ant.

I don't know if I thought of something, my pupils were deeply narrowed, and they were cold.

Xie Bo also buried his head and replied: "I received a letter asking me to go to Longshan Temple to meet. I don't know who it is, so I went to check it out alone!"

After finishing speaking, he took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Wang Degui.

Wang Degui took out the letter, unfolded it and handed it in front of the emperor. The emperor only glanced at it briefly, his expression slightly stagnant, and waved lightly, Wang Degui accepted the letter.

"What did you find?" asked the emperor.

"I didn't find anything, so someone must be teasing me!"

"Oh? Is that so?" The emperor stood up and walked to the side cabinet, on which was placed the sword used by Gaozu when he conquered the world.

The crisp sound of the sword being drawn out of its sheath made people extremely frightened in the penetrating night.

Everyone fell silent and trembled.

"Then did you take the opportunity to rest in the meditation room next to Kulie?"

The emperor's tone was calm, without too many ups and downs, but Xie Bai was so frightened that he didn't know how to respond.

"You have always opposed the marriage. You said that the King of Great Zhou is old. You have always been the leader of the war. Killing Kulie and stirring up disputes in the northern border is just what you want!" The emperor's tone was very cold.

All of a sudden, from a simple inquiry to a disobedience to the holy will.

Xie Bo looked flustered and kowtowed to beg for mercy: "Your Majesty clearly checked, the minister didn't go to the male guest's room, but stayed in the female guest's room, and then returned to Beijing with the princess. I have never seen Prince Kulie!"

If you admit to having an affair with the concubine, you can frame Concubine Duan as the blame, saying that Concubine Duan deliberately seduced her, but nothing really happened, and everything will be fine.

But if he was accused of killing Hu Lie and aroused suspicion from the emperor, he would have no idea why his family would be confiscated one day.

The emperor still stood in front of the sword calmly, and didn't ask any more questions, as if he was thinking about how to kill someone.

Xie Bai was at a loss, glanced at Concubine Duan, hesitated for a moment, then looked at Mrs. Zheng Guo, had an idea, and shouted loudly: "Mrs. Zheng Guo, I have seen you look at me wrong in the past. Are you interested in me? Invite me to meet at Longshan Temple?"

Mrs. Zheng Guo said in amazement: "Are you crazy? What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I didn't believe you would do such a thing at first, but why did you suddenly appear in Longshan Temple?" Xie Bai gave Mrs. Zheng Guo wild winks. He already knew that Princess Beichen's sudden visit to Longshan Temple was because of Mrs. Zheng Guo's instigation.

Mrs. Zheng knew about his relationship with Concubine Duan before she got married, so it must be Mrs. Zheng who made troubles.

The matter has come to this point, only by reducing this matter, can everyone walk out of the Tai Chi Hall alive.

A private meeting with Mrs. Zheng Guo, although ugly, is the smallest and life-saving thing right now. (end of this chapter)
