The past life is cold and the present life is warm

As the emperor listened to his cries, he felt like he was about to have a headache not long after being suppressed by Shao Zhihan, and the veins on his temples jumped.

The arrival of the Lord Protector stopped the trend of getting sick.

Before entering the palace, the Protector took the initiative to hand over his saber to Eunuch Fu who was guarding the door. The emperor couldn't help but feel a little sore in his eyes when he saw the Protector's actions.

The brother who was always on guard against him was always at the forefront when he was in trouble. But this son, who was related to him by blood and supported by his own hands, thought about controlling himself and killing himself all day long. Why is the difference so big?

And this time is a good opportunity. If his former sworn brother were to do the opposite, he would definitely take advantage of the situation to rebel.

The emperor took a deep breath and looked at the Protector with a smile and said, "Lian Yuan, has the situation outside been controlled?"

The Protector hurriedly knelt down and replied: "Your Majesty, although it is a little hasty and late, it does not cause too many casualties. It is just that a few families suffered some financial losses due to resistance. I don't think it is a big deal. question.

The thousand people in the city should have been bribed by someone from the city defense camp. Those who surrendered have been taken into custody. Those who refused to surrender were also killed. Your Majesty will take care of the rest. "

The emperor nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Lian Yuan. You take the remaining rebels in the palace and imprison them outside the palace. Let the people from the Ministry of Punishment verify it, and I will deal with it together then."

After accepting the order, the Protector quietly retreated. Although he can be regarded as meritorious in rescuing the driver. But he also knew that he had nothing left to seal. At most, you will be rewarded at that time. So I didn't say much.

After listening to the Duke Protector's words, Xiao Jingchang slumped there. He felt that everything was lost. But then there was a sudden turn of events.

The sixth prince hurried into the palace. Then he knelt in front of the emperor and said: "Father, all this must be a misunderstanding. It should be caused by unclear instructions given by my subordinates. The third emperor brother wants to help you find the treasure of the previous dynasty."

The emperor squinted at Lao Liu in front of him, looking appraisingly. It seems that since he left the palace and started a family at the age of fifteen, he has hardly seen his sixth son.

"I remember the Queen said that you were the one who told her that there was something strange happening to the private soldiers under King Huaisi, right?"

The emperor directly revealed the truth without giving the sixth prince face. The sixth prince said calmly and calmly: "Maybe the Queen Mother misunderstood my words. I just told the Queen Mother at the time that the third brother needs to employ people during this period. There must be personnel transfers."

Jamel Xiao is only thinking about how to survive now. He didn't even care that the sixth prince betrayed his information to the queen and said excitedly: "Sixth brother is right. I really just want to send people to help my father find the treasure. After all, I can't do anything to just sit back and enjoy the rewards. .

By the way, father, if you don't believe it, you can still ask Bai Jinyan from the Bai family to find out. He can prove it for me. It can be said that I was with him all day yesterday. "

Just sit back and enjoy the results? The emperor sneered in his heart. This beast got excited and spoke out what was on his mind. It seemed that it was not a wise move to leave the treasure hunting task to him alone. But he didn't dwell on this matter for the time being and instead said with a half-smile, "Okay, go and find Bai Jinyan for me."

Eunuch Fu received the order at the door and quickly ordered a soldier to find Bai Jinyan.

Bai Jinyan seemed to have had a premonition that the emperor would send someone to find him, and had changed his clothes early and was waiting in the mansion. Under the anxious and puzzled eyes of everyone in the Bai family, he followed the soldier into the palace.

Only Master Bai looked at Bai Jinyan's leaving figure with an enigmatic expression. Arriving at the palace, Bai Jinyan looked at the people in the Ziying Palace and became convinced. He greeted the emperor calmly.

The emperor looked at him with a smile and said, "I remember you are the child of the branch brought back by the Bai family from outside."

Bai Jinyan bowed without raising his head and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, he is a student."

The emperor nodded and was not in a hurry to ask about King Huaisi. On the contrary, he showed concern for Bai Jinyan's studies with a smile on his face. Bai Jinyan answered all questions fluently

The emperor nodded with a satisfied look. Then the conversation suddenly changed and he asked: "Just now, King Huaisi said that you stayed with him for a day. Does this matter?"

Bai Jinyan continued to say in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "That's right, that's right."

King Huai Si, who had been on tenterhooks, finally calmed down a little. He just thought about it while waiting. He might have been tricked by Lao Liu. This made huge waves surge in his heart.

This sixth child has been close to him since he was a child. It can be said that he knows many of his secrets. Now if he really betrays him, I'm afraid he will die without a burial place. But he didn't understand why Lao Liu didn't take the opportunity to trample him to death since he had been plotted to take this path of rebellion. What does it mean to come and help yourself at this time?

And Lao Liu, who has followed him for many years, will betray him. Could Bai Jinyan, who had only followed him for such a short time, take the opportunity to add insult to injury? This was the main reason why he didn't dare to completely let go.

The emperor said calmly: "Then tell me what you did with King Huai Si yesterday."

Bai Jinyan finally hesitated for the first time after entering the palace. He glanced secretly at Jamel Xiao. Jamel Xiao had been staring at him. Seeing him looking at her, she quickly said: "Tell the truth, tell the truth."

Bai Jinyan thought for a while and replied: "The prince has taken the students to select people for the treasure-retrieving mission that His Majesty has sent him."

The emperor glanced at Xiao Jamchang and raised his chin, signaling Bai Jinyan to continue speaking.

"The prince was afraid that there were many traps in the tomb, so he wanted to select the best trap master and the bravest guard. So it took almost a day just to select the people. But the selection was not finished yet. The prince originally wanted to continue tomorrow. "

"Raise your head." The emperor didn't ask any further questions. It just made Bai Jinyan raise his head. Then he looked at Bai Jinyan with sharp eyes.

Bai Jinyan immediately understood what the emperor meant. They looked at the emperor with a meaningless expression. After a while, the emperor smiled slightly. He waved his hand and told Bai Jinyan to go down and wait.

The emperor lowered his eyes and looked at Xiao Jingchang with cold eyes and said: "Remove Xiao Jingchang from all responsibilities. Temporarily confine him to Prince Huai Si's Mansion. Put all rebels in prison and be tried by the Ministry of Punishment. Find out all the accomplices related to Wang Huisi."

Only then did King Huaisi really feel relieved. As long as he doesn't die, he still has a chance. However, he immediately crawled to the emperor crying and said: "Father, I am really unjust."

But he didn't expect that the emperor would raise his foot and kick Jamel Xiao out. Jamel Xiao fell to the ground. I was extremely shocked.
