Lonely King and Widow

Chapter 498 The 100-meter-deep pit is full of thrills (7)
After hearing Song Xi's proposal, Emperor Zhihua relaxed slightly.

Over the years, people from the court, Xie and Xiao sects are very good at management, and their roots have become deeper and deeper. The intertwined relationships are all over Nan Rong, and he is often constrained by them when he is in power.The older the emperor was, the more panicked he became. He was afraid that his son would not be able to control these people and the country would fall apart.It was good that the crown prince was vacant before, but now that he has established the crown prince, he has to maintain the crown prince's majesty in front of others.Only when the emperor gave him face can the prince establish authority in front of others.

The emperor complied with the prince's wishes, so things fell into waiting again.

When something like this happened, everyone was surprised and suspicious, each had their own guesses, and the atmosphere became even more stagnant.

Time passed by, the waiting process was too long.

However, Fang Jiran did not pass all 49 rounds of 40. She did not come out in the No. [-] round for half an hour, and she had already exceeded the maximum time limit given by the senior agency house - two hours.

In other words, she lost.

However, even though she was defeated, the Mo family's Juzi was not only comparing her personal ability, but mainly her fingerprints.

"What do you think?" Emperor Zhihua looked at Song Xi again.

"According to Erchen, let Miss Fang try fingerprints?" Song Xi was still just a suggestion.

"That's right." The emperor tapped his fingers on the chair, didn't say much, just rolled his eyes, and the elder Ganmen went to do so.After about a cup of tea, all the remaining organs were dismantled. Fang Jiran, who was still trapped in the organ room, ushered in the most important handprint test for her.

When she was stuck in the fourth game of No.40, she actually knew that she would lose to Mo Jiu.

Fang Jiran was at a loss as she never thought that Mo Jiu would have such abilities.

Looking at the handprints on the altar, she went up the steps without hesitation, and pressed directly on the handprints.

She looked very calm, but the room was also very peaceful, without any sound.

But the door didn't open, and she was still trapped inside.

Under the light of the oil lamp, her face hidden under the hood could not be seen, and her emotions were also unknown.But her shoulders shook, and she seemed a little unsteady on her feet.Then she turned her head and put her hand into the groove of the fingerprint again, but there was still no movement.For the third and fourth time, she tried again and again, and finally slumped on the stone platform, motionless, with her back to the glass plate, as if she had softened...

"Go and dismantle the mechanism, Fufang girl will come out."

"Here."

The elder Ganmen went down, and the quiet lounge was as cold as a pool of stagnant water.

The matter is very clear, regardless of why the East Palace maid can open the handprint, but at least Fang Jiran cannot open it. Then, what happened in the warm pavilion of Jinrui Palace last time was a premeditated deception, and it was a deception to the emperor. .The emperor was on the spot and saw this incident in person, and his monarchy was also greatly challenged, so naturally he couldn't just sit idly by.Even though he didn't want to touch Xiao Qian in his heart, he had to ask him for an explanation because of face.

He looked at Xiao Qian with cold eyes, "Xiao Aiqing, what do you want to say?"

From the beginning to the end, except for a few small discussions with Song Ao, Xiao Qian sat quietly, neither expressing opinions nor communicating with others.Now being questioned by the emperor, he didn't feel flustered at all. He was still as magnificent as ever, with clear words and a calm demeanor. "The Temple of Sacrifice is a sacred place of the Mohists. I have never seen the handprints and organs, so I don't know the details."

There was a trace of coldness in his indifferent voice, but it was not unreasonable.
