Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 535 Guilt (2)
"Okay, An Tong, you step back, I know what to do now, Cheng Rong, how is Song Yan's health after being assassinated?" Ming Gong sighed, and then asked Cheng Rong.

Cheng Rong, who talked and laughed freely, immediately held up his wat and said: "My lord, Mr. Song was seriously injured. Although there is no danger to his life, he will not be able to get up without half a year of self-cultivation."

"Hmph, Song Yan is absent, and I have lost a few important ministers in Dazhou. If this continues, in less than half a year, the widow will not be able to manage the government!" Ming Gong sneered, feeling very helpless at the moment.

"My lord, now the only thing that should be asked is to ask Lord Cheng Rong and Lord Baoshang to recommend another highly respected doctor to come to Beijing to preside over the government." Lu Kai suggested, cupping his hands.

"Retreat!" Ming Gong flicked his sleeves without waiting for Lu Kai to speak, and exited the hall. After a while, the imperial eunuch Xiao Ruzi cautiously walked up to Lu Kai and Cheng Rong, and whispered an order: "My lords, please stay. The king has something important to call."

Cheng Rong and Lu Kai looked at each other in blank dismay, and quickly agreed with each other.

In Jiangxue Pavilion, the next day, a large number of tiger and ben forbidden soldiers suddenly broke in and turned all the decorations in the palace upside down. Immediately afterwards, Concubine Xin and all the maids were captured by the wolf-like forbidden army. A brutal interrogation began.

"Your Majesty, what's going on here? Have we made any mistakes?" Facing the dark prison in the inner mansion, Gui'er, who was shivering with fear, couldn't help asking Xin Concubine, whose heart was ashamed.

Xinyue didn't say a word, just smiled slightly.

"My lord, something serious has happened. The king suddenly issued an order to arrest Concubine Xin and torture the maids of Jiangxue Pavilion. Master Cheng Rong sent a secret letter, telling my lord to be careful of someone plotting behind her back!" Wrapped in ice and snow, Jianjia Palace, where plum blossoms linger, and as the pearl tassel curtains are scattered and scattered, Axi with an anxious face rushes into the palace, reporting to Bao Si panting.

"What? Isn't Concubine Xin deeply loved by the king? How can you say that she was arrested as soon as she was arrested?" Mingyue and Huiyue were suddenly taken aback.

"I should have thought a long time ago that Master Song's assassination was originally a trap, and the target was Concubine Xin!" Bao Si put down the paintbrush in his hand, frowning even deeper.

"My lord, if all the maids in Jiangxue Pavilion are tortured to extract confessions, the servants will be worried. Will the people who framed my lord behind the scenes use this as an opportunity to frame and slander my lord as their mastermind?" Axi worried.

"Therefore, we must try to rescue Concubine Xin, and absolutely prevent the malicious perpetrators from finding an excuse to kill!" Bao Si frowned, holding the paintbrush tightly in her slender hands, as if all the wind, frost, and sword had fallen into her hand for a moment. mind.

"Have you heard? Concubine Xin's case has been found out. It was Concubine Xin who deliberately found someone to plant on King Lu's head in order to frame Concubine Jiang. Wang Shang Shengming saw it right away. This is strange. Concubine Xin originally I have been married, and now I am so favored by the king, why bother to harm Concubine Jiang, I am so impatient!"

"You don't know, Concubine Xin's ex-husband is the famous General Qutu. It is said that Concubine Jiang secretly instigated King Lu to frame Concubine Jiang for his death in battle. Concubine Xin did this to avenge Concubine Jiang."

"Hey, it's Qutu again. Let me tell you that this case can't be blamed on Concubine Xin. In fact, it was the empress who really instigated Concubine Xin to commit crimes. Don't forget that the one who really loved Master Qutu back then , but the queen!"

There were some unbearable discussions in the distance, and Ah Xi, who was depressed in his heart, sulked while holding the fruit plate.

"Sister Axi, why are you frowning? Is it because people are spreading rumors everywhere in the palace recently?" At this time, Xiang'er, a palace maid from Zijin Pavilion, happened to come to meet Axi. road.

"Yeah, just now I heard someone talking behind my back, and I don't know who is behind the scenes, destroying our little master's reputation." Axi said with a sigh.

"Sister Axi, something is wrong recently. It seems that in the case of Concubine Xin blaming Concubine Xin, someone has already started to contact the Empress. They said that there are noses and eyes, and that others would never think of it!" Xiang'er told the truth seriously. .

"Damn it, it must be from Qiu Yunxuan again!" Ah Xi secretly clenched his fists.

In the Hall of Shuilong Shuren, the cabinet ministers Cheng Rong, Lu Kai, Zhou Tong and others stood in front of Yi Minggong's case, waiting for the emperor's inquiry.

Ming Gong shook his head impatiently, and asked straight to the point: "My dear friends, the case of Song Yan's assassination has been tried for more than a month. Why is there still no progress? Could it be that this case is too involved, you dare not say?"

Cheng Rong cupped his hands and said, "My Majesty, the ministers have investigated this case in detail. Concubine Xin is only accusing Concubine Jiang and King Lu, and there is no real evidence for the frame-up."

"Oh? Really. Could it be that Concubine Xin was wronged too?" Ming Gong sneered with extreme disdain.

"My lord, it's not surprising that Concubine Xin stayed at the border in the past, and she holds the border iron cavalry token in her hand. In addition, she is not familiar with the military token token, so the case of planting is the most suspected. According to Jiang Xuege The court lady Guier confessed that Concubine Xin had a close relationship with the empress of the main palace before the incident happened, please ask the king to issue an order, whether to search the Jianjia Palace?" Lu Kai gave Cheng Rong a blunt look, and went forward to report.

"Queen? You mean, the queen is also suspected?" Mingong's brows knit together.

"Lord Lu, the queen is a queen of a country, how can she frame her up casually, you are talking too much, you are too Menglang." Cheng Rong stared at Lu Kai angrily.

"Okay, since the empress is involved in this matter, the imperial court will naturally investigate. Lu Kai, pass on my order to quickly search the Jianjia Palace." Ming Gong made up his mind.

In less than an hour, the originally quiet Jianjia Palace was turned into a mess by Lu Kai's people. The maids and eunuchs came and went with extremely arrogant attitudes.

"What are you doing? This is Jianjia Palace, how dare you be presumptuous!" Angry Axi and Huiyue condemned angrily while staring at the palace servants who were searching back and forth at a loss.

"Axi, Huiyue, I didn't expect that you Jianjia Palace will have today!" At this moment, an arrogant yet familiar face appeared in front of Axi and Huiyue.

"Aunt Chonghua, what do you mean? How could the king allow you to wantonly frame and slander our young master? You are really too much!" Ah Xi recognized the person in front of him, it was Qiu Yunxuan's female officer Chonghua, Immediately burned with anger.

"Don't worry, Axi, no one will care about you, you are dead! This rumor, if it develops to a certain extent, can also kill people. You little master will not be able to wash it away even if you jump into the Yellow River this time!" Chonghua laughed presumptuously.

"Who said this palace is over?" At this time, Bao Si, with a frosty face, walked upright in front of Chong Hua with the support of Ming Yue.
