Chapter 137 Assassin
Countless people were killed in the house, and no case was even established. Emperor Wei Wen felt that Zhao Xu had been wronged. He really didn't know where this unconditional trust came from.

Taking a look at Yin Gezhi, Zhao Xu had a weird look on his face. He seemed to be in awe and respect, but he subconsciously took half a step towards the emperor.

Emperor Wei Wen noticed it, and sighed softly: "Prince Xiao is reckless, and he let Lian Heng unreasonably rush Ai Qing. He will not be able to do so in the future. Ai Qing is more considerate."

This kind of tone is like the elders coming to apologize when a child of one's own family caused trouble at a friend's house.Only then did Yin Gezhi realize that the relationship between the emperor and Zhao Xu was really close.

Looking back at Prince Xiao who was silent and indifferent, Zhao Xu felt that the emperor's words were not convincing at all.But after all, he is the emperor, so he can't be proud of his favor. Since the crime has not been investigated, it is better to accept it as soon as it is good.

It's just that he remembered Prince Xiao stabbed him with a knife.

"Where is your Majesty, the prince is also kind-hearted, and thinks there is something wrong with the corpses in the backyard of the humble minister." He bowed his hands respectfully to the emperor, and Zhao Xu said with an aggrieved face: "It's just that the corpses buried in the backyard of the humble minister are all dead The concubine Ji, who has no father or mother, would be pitiful if thrown out and buried, so I thought, it would be better to move the backyard to be their burial place."

The emperor suddenly said: "It turns out that this is the case, Aiqing is really kind-hearted."

As he spoke, he glanced at Yin Gezhi again: "Do you understand?"

"I don't understand." Without lifting his eyelids, Yin Ge stood with his hands behind his back, and said in a cold tone, "I don't know what kind of disease those concubines have, so that they are covered in scars and their bones are incomplete."

Emperor Wei Wen was furious: "Why are you so ignorant of good and evil!"

Zhao Xu quickly persuaded: "Your Majesty, calm down. The prince doesn't understand the whole story, so he should think it's strange. Some of those concubines suffered from madness, and they were bruised all over their bodies when they fell, and some jumped from upstairs with incomplete bones. It's only natural." .”

"Listen, isn't it clear enough!" Emperor Wei Wen scolded.

Yin Ge stopped curling his lips, finally raised his eyes to look at his father, and asked softly, "Did you know about this early in the morning?"

Slightly taken aback, Emperor Wei Wen frowned: "I don't know."

"Then why does the majestic monarch not uphold justice, but unconditionally stand on the side of the defendant and reprimand those who raise objections?" His eyes were in the lake, and there was sparkling water in the lake that was about to splash, but it pressed against the shore of the lake, bringing With some early autumn coolness: "Master Zhao has been an official for more than ten years, and he loves calligraphy and painting with his father. It is understandable that his father loves to be close to him. But if you trust too much, you will put yourself in danger."

Finally, Zhao Xu's expression turned ugly, and as soon as he lifted his robe, he knelt down towards the emperor: "The loyalty of the minister is a lesson from heaven and earth!"

Stretching out his hand to help him up, Emperor Wei Wen pursed his lips, thinking that the eldest prince was also thinking of himself, his tone became better, and he said slightly reproachfully: "You don't understand the truth of employing people without suspicion?"

Yin Gezhi lowered his eyes: "Father, do you still remember Emperor Song Hui from the previous dynasty?"

Emperor Song Hui loves equestrianism and loves Lei Yi, a general who is good at equestrianism. Unexpectedly, Lei Yi hid for ten years in order to kill the king and restore the old country, and finally sent Emperor Song Hui to a dead end with a crazy horse.

As soon as this story was mentioned, Zhao Xu's legs went limp, and he choked up and said, "What is the enmity between my minister and the lord, why does the lord want to slander my minister so much!"

Yin Gezhi said indifferently: "This king has no enmity or enmity with the lord, so he speaks fair words and does just things, just reminding the monarch to be careful."

Emperor Wei Wen was silent, and smiled again: "Okay, it's just a reminder, how can Aiqing and Lei Yi be the same? I trust Aiqing very much, and I believe that Aiqing will never hurt my heart."

"Your Majesty!" Touched, he knelt down and kowtowed. Zhao Xu was in tears, but when he turned his face, he looked at Yin Gezhi with obvious hostility.

Yin Gezhi turned a blind eye, just looking at Wei Wendi's attitude, he finally understood why Fengyue insisted on going his own way, why he felt that his idea would not come true.

Everyone in the world knows what kind of person his father is, but he doesn't.

The hands in the sleeves were clenched tightly, Yin Ge stopped looking down, and continued to follow them to the backyard.

The emperor arrived, and the servants in the mansion were very busy. The newly appointed housekeeper picked out a few sensible servants, carried them in the courtyard and ordered: "Your Majesty, we have always recited poems, wrote calligraphy and painted pictures against the adults. , you all have to be careful in serving you, you have to use the sets that adults treasure for pens, inks, papers and inkstones, whoever dares to break things with careless hands will lose his head!"

"Yes!" Several house slaves agreed.

The old butler next to him watched, frowned and said, "These people have only been in the mansion for half a year, right?"

The new housekeeper is the son of the old housekeeper. Hearing this, he curled his lips and said: "The people in the past are not too young, and their hands have no strength. I don't worry about them."

The old housekeeper wanted to object, but thinking about what his son said was reasonable, he didn't bother.

So these house slaves went to get the Four Treasures of the Study, walked through the rockery, walked through the garden, and finally handed them to the eunuch.

The emperor and Zhao Xu were talking about their latest works. Yin Gezhi turned his head to look at the flowers in the yard indifferently, his eyes wandered around, staring at a certain place on the wall for a moment, and then looked elsewhere as if nothing had happened.

When the pen, ink, paper and inkstone came, the emperor was naturally very interested. He took the brush and asked Zhao Xu to grind it.

"Your Majesty, the mansion just made dim sum." After a few sticks of incense, Zhao Xu called the emperor to rest, asked the servants to try the dim sum, and presented it to Emperor Wei Wen.

There are not so many rules outside the palace, and Emperor Wei Wen didn't bother to take chopsticks, so he just reached out and ate.

However, just after eating one, before he had time to get the second one, a cold arrow shot through the air from somewhere!

None of the guards reacted, but Yin Gezhi, who was sitting languidly next to him, suddenly rose into the air, grabbed the cold arrow, his clothes fluttered, and his eyes suddenly sharpened.

"There are assassins!"

The surrounding guards chased half of them out in an instant, the emperor was shocked, and immediately angrily reprimanded: "Catch him!"

"Yes!"

People who love power generally love life, especially Emperor Wei Wen. He immediately turned his head and scolded Zhao Xu angrily: "What do the guards in your house eat?!"

Zhao Xu hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty, there are hundreds of guards outside the minister's mansion today, it is impossible for anyone to approach!"

"It didn't come in from outside, so it was in the mansion." Holding the cold arrow and looking, Yin Gezhi's eyes moved slightly, and his tone suddenly became heavy: "Father, let's go back to the palace early."

Since he was holding the arrow, the emperor nodded, and instead of reaching out to support Zhao Xu who was kneeling on the ground, he said: "Aiqing, get up, catch the assassin first. I'm going back to the palace first. "

"My humble minister...respectfully send your Majesty off."

Zhao Xu was extremely anxious and very angry. Seeing that the emperor had left with Yin Ge, he immediately sent someone to chase after the assassin.

However, across the courtyard wall, it is unknown who the assassin is. There is not even a strange person in the mansion, they are all people wearing the clothes of domestic slaves, nothing else.

After leaving the Taiwei's mansion, Yin Gezhi handed the arrow to the servant, feeling a little puzzled.

He knew that Fengyue might attack his father, and he was always on guard, but if he really did, how could even the arrows be non-toxic?Moreover, he was too nervous before, so he reached out and caught the cold arrow.In fact, even if he didn't answer it, according to the direction of the arrow, it might be stuck on the painting table instead of the emperor.

What is she thinking?
Emperor Wei Wen was a little angry when he got in the car. He was really shocked. Coupled with the story Yin Gezhi had told about Emperor Song Hui and Lei Yi earlier, he inevitably had some scruples about Zhao Xu.

People who have been officials for a long time will change, right?Although Zhao Xu was a captain, he didn't have any military power in his hands. He didn't even let him exercise the power that a captain should have. Would he have any complaints?

But after thinking about it, how could someone who likes calligraphy and painting like him be so bad?

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt abdominal cramps, which I could bear at first, but then it became more and more painful.

"Stop...stop."

The voice was so low that the servants didn't hear it, and Yin Gezhi was in another car, so the emperor hurt all the way to the palace.When the servant opened the curtain of the car, his face turned pale with fright: "Your Majesty?!"

Yin Gezhi felt that something was wrong, strode over to have a look, and found that the emperor was pale and had passed out.

The imperial doctor was in a hurry, the emperor was unconscious on the dragon couch, Princess Nanping and the crown prince also came, the crown prince frowned and asked: "Brother emperor, what's the matter? Why did you get poisoned after going out with you so well?"

Before Yin Gezhi could speak, Nan Ping came up to block him and frowned and said to the prince, "It's not the fault of the emperor, the tone of the second brother's questioning is too rude!"

"I'm just asking about the situation."

"Did you ask me that!" Nan Ping snorted coldly, turned to look at Yin Gezhi, and stomped coquettishly: "Brother Huang, what happened?"

Stretching out his hand to touch Nan Ping's head, Yin Ge stopped and said: "Father went to the Taiwei Mansion and was assassinated. I blocked the cold arrow fired by the assassin for Father. It didn't hurt him, but I don't know why. Still poisoned."

Staring wide-eyed, Nan Ping said angrily: "How could he be assassinated in the Taiwei's mansion? What about the Taiwei sir! Why don't you ask him to come into the palace to inquire about the crime!"

"Where is the father willing to ask about the crime of the Taiwei?" Yin Gezhi said indifferently: "The Taiwei's mansion killed more than 20 innocent people, and the father thinks that I wronged Master Zhao. Now the dragon body is fine, a small amount of arsenic That's all, how can you ask for guilt?"

This made the queen next to her frown: "My lord, your majesty is still unconscious, what do you mean by these words?"

"Your servant is impolite." Yin Gezhi nodded and lowered his eyes.

Nanping opened his mouth wide in astonishment, his watery eyes blinked, he wanted to ask something, looked at the people in the hall, and said implicitly: "Then the emperor will accompany Nanping to the imperial pharmacy to see medicine."

"Okay." Yin Gezhi nodded, bowed to the queen, and then led her out together.

The prince frowned and said in a low voice, "Brother Huang seems to be a different person."
