Chapter 109
He would never have imagined that this pleading paper would appear in Xie Qiao's hands!

After Xuemei passed on Ye Zhou's words, after thinking about it, she could do it.

Explain clearly the old things one by one, how he was persecuted, but only left a way out, originally thought that he would never have a chance to explain it in this life, but the world is unpredictable, and now it falls into the hands of the emperor.

And the behind-the-scenes person he wrote about is the present day!
Wei Yun couldn't help trembling all over, his life is not long!
Ye Zhou, a pawn of Xie Qiao!
He wanted to use Ye Zhou to get more news beneficial to him, but he didn't know that the huge pastry in front of him was just a bait!
"Okay! Very good!" Emperor Ming sneered, his eyes shot at Wei Yun like lightning, and he pressed the pleading paper in his palm with his hands, "Wei Aiqing, are you ordered by me to frame the Duke of Zhen's mansion?"

Wei Yun was startled, knelt on the ground and kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have been wronged, this pleading paper was not written by me!"

"Why should Wei Shangshu be in a hurry to deny it? Since it was not written by you, it will not be a burden on you. You are so terrified, there is no silver 300 taels here." Xie Qiao's eyes were deep and sparkling, and he said with a faint smile: " The emperor has read the memorials for more than ten years, and he must be able to recognize whose handwriting is written on it. As long as you have a clear eye and a clear mind, the dirty water will definitely not be poured out!"

Emperor Ming listened quietly, with a calm expression on his face, the paper under his palm had been crumpled into a ball by his fingers.

Xie Qiao didn't seem to feel the stagnation of the atmosphere in the hall, and continued: "The evidence is convincing, please let the emperor deal with it fairly!"

Emperor Ming raised his sword eyebrows, his anger almost destroyed his reason.Unprecedented hostility erupted in his eyes!
Fair treatment!

Who to deal with?
Dispose of himself?

joke!

Emperor Ming forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, shook his sleeves and sat down.

"Your Majesty, this humble minister was wronged! He was framed by a traitor!" Wei Yun lowered her head, a stern look flashed in her eyes.Containing endless cold, resentful light!
Emperor Ming looked at Xie Qiao with piercing eyes: "I don't know where you got this certificate?" Since Wei Yun didn't admit it, then it's invalid!

Xie Qiao's eyebrows turned cold, and just as he was about to speak, Emperor Ming said in an indifferent way: "The Marquis of Huaiyin also thinks that Lord Zhen Guo was framed by me? Why did I frame him?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall became more and more tense, and the lower ministers felt panicked, and all looked at Qin Mo and Marquis of Huaiyin!

When Emperor Ming saw that everyone was silent, the Marquis of Huaiyin also had nothing to say, and the gloom in his eyes faded away.

"What the Marquis of Huaiyin said is correct, Duke Zhen was indeed framed by you! Why did you frame him? The Duke of the state is made public, and your reputation will be ruined throughout your life, and you will not even be guaranteed to sit on the throne!"

"Some powerful officials in the imperial court threatened you, so you tried to remove these thorns! You even killed your brothers and feet brutally. Now that the truth is about to be revealed, even if you deny it, you can treat it as something you didn't do in the past? "

There was a creaking sound, and the eldest princess was seen sitting in the wheelchair with a mocking look on her face, and she said mockingly: "I have been stealing my life for more than ten years, just to take off the skin of you, an upright gentleman, and expose your filthy appearance." Dirty and ugly true face!"

Everyone was in an uproar——

This is the unparalleled beauty of the eldest princess?
Emperor Ming suddenly realized that they used the death of Lord Zhen Guo to implicate his usurpation of the throne, and they became even more sullen.The eldest princess' aggressive words did not give him room to argue.

The eldest princess held up the imperial edict in her hand, looked at Emperor Ming's pupils constricted, and said with a ferocious face: "You killed the foot, tampered with the edict, and ascended to the throne as you wished. But this is what you took by any means. Evidence, you are afraid that he will take the Qing emperor's side and depose you. For his own selfishness, so act first and let the loyal Zhen Guogong die unjustly!"

Everyone was shocked.

The eldest princess passed the edict to all the courtiers, and identified them one by one, proving that what she said was true!

"Nonsense!" Emperor Ming waved his hand, sweeping the memorial on the Luolong case with his wide sleeves, staring at the eldest princess with scarlet eyes: "You spitting blood! How can you be such a villain? The Duke of Zhenguo fought on the battlefield, How could I frame him with such a meritorious minister in order to protect the stability of the country and society in Zhou Dynasty?"

Emperor Ming's words made the eldest princess laugh out loud.

"The third brother came from the border. You set up an ambush, but he escaped by chance and broke his leg. And I know the truth, and it has become a thorn in your heart, so you arranged for Wei Yun to steal the evidence in my hand. Fortunately, I have a big life, and I didn't die tragically at his murderous hand. You don't spare a dead person, and label me a prostitute!"

"Brother Huang, you are the son of heaven, if you don't have real evidence, how dare you lie to frame you?" The king of Shu came in from the door with the help of the gray-haired queen mother.

The Empress Dowager looked at Manchu Wenwu kneeling on the ground, Jiashan sitting in a wheelchair and sternly speaking, forcing Emperor Ming to the point of no return, feeling sad in her heart!
These are her children!

Now swords meet—

Do not!As early as more than ten years ago, they fought each other with swords for power!
Yesterday, the Prime Minister, General Dingguo and other ministers asked her to depose Emperor Ming!
Only with the edict, the king of Shu can clear the side of the emperor and depose the Ming emperor.

But even though he is heinous, he managed the Great Zhou to prosper these years.They are all her children, it doesn't matter who the throne is to her, as long as Da Zhou is stable!

The Empress Dowager glanced at the Daqing War King and closed her eyes. After deposing Emperor Ming, there would be turmoil in the court and the foundation would be shaken.

Daqing is now ambitious——

From the bottom of her heart, she didn't want the king of Shu to be the emperor, otherwise it would be another bloodbath.

"Jiashan, why are you so ill that you can't take a rest?" The queen mother looked at the eldest princess with concern, it's so good, no matter what happened before, her children are still alive.Why not just support Emperor Ming to govern the Great Zhou Dynasty?

The heart of the first emperor is on who can rule the Great Zhou better.

Emperor Ming has done a good job, so let it be!

Jiashan heard the empress dowager's intentions, his heart was cold, and he looked at her in disbelief.

The king of Shu also looked unclear, but his eyes showed disappointment.

Emperor Ming quickly said: "When the father died, there was only Wei Yun by his side, and the imperial edict fell into his hands. The imperial edict fell into the hands of the third brother. How could he have the glory of today? Therefore, he tampered with the imperial edict and supported me to ascend the throne. , making his little humble disciple an extremely human minister!"

"He murdered Jiashan, not because I ordered him! When he argued with Jiashan, he killed the killer! The third brother was also killed by him, and he was afraid that the third brother would retaliate against him!" Emperor Ming said with a face of remorse: "I was immersed in my father's love back then. In the mourning of the emperor's death, he inadvertently looked carefully at the edict, but after a cursory look, he found no truth or falsehood.

I didn't know his strategy until he ascended the throne.Back then, the courtiers were not sincerely loyal to me, so they had no choice but to make mistakes, and did not return the throne, and only waited for the court to stabilize before giving it up.Unexpectedly, I heard that the third brother suffered misfortune... I was deeply saddened, so I didn't tell him the truth, and I didn't know that the imperial sister mistakenly thought that I had killed my brother! "

Emperor Ming looked distressed, and sternly reprimanded Wei Yun: "All this is because of Wei Yun's treacherous minister! I am deeply deceived by him!"

"The emperor—" Wei Yun didn't know that Emperor Ming's red mouth and white teeth pushed all the crimes on him!

Back then, he was just a sixth-rank official, and the late emperor passed away, so how could he be qualified to stay by his side?

Even the number of times to enter the palace is very few!

Emperor Ming said jealously: "Drag him down, ransack his family and exterminate his family!"

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged! I was the subject of you..." Wei Yun met Emperor Ming's gloomy eyes, and seemed to understand what he was implying. He shivered all over, shut up and let the guards take him down!
"Third Brother, from now on, you don't want to go to the fief again. Your leg disease is already healed. If you want to get back the throne, I will give it up!" Emperor Ming stepped down the jade steps and stood in front of them.

The queen mother did not wait for the king of Shu to speak, and said wearily: "This matter is over, Jiashan, leave the palace quickly, Ai's family will send an imperial physician to treat you." Turning to the king of Shu, she said, "You take Ai's family back to Funing Palace !"

Jiashan stared at the Queen Mother coldly, but saw all the ministers kneeling down and pleadingly: "Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

It's like supporting Emperor Ming!
The king of Shu placed his hope on the queen mother, but she didn't know that her heart was so biased!
To dethrone Emperor Ming, it is not the Queen Mother's efforts alone, but also the will of the ministers.Now the ministers and the empress dowager don't respect him, Emperor Ming is not unprepared, he has lost the opportunity, so he has to think about it in the long run!

After everyone dispersed, Emperor Ming collapsed on the dragon chair, his back feeling cold.Said in a deep voice: "Issuing the imperial edict, and returning Zhen Guogong's innocence, to show the world."

Xie Qiao lowered his head, his eyes were cold.How can a person be resurrected when he is dead and innocent?
Even though Wei Yun deserved to die, it was the people on the Dragon Throne who committed the worst crimes!
Thank you, Qiao, and return to your seat.Tell yourself that this is already the best result, as for the others, you have to figure it out slowly!

Looking at the blue sky outside the hall, Xie Qiao thought to himself, what Li Shi wants most is for Lord Zhen to be wronged, don't let Lord Zhen, a tough man, be stained and poked at the back by the world!
The same seems to be the case with the Marquis of Huaiyin. Since ancient times, how can an emperor pay for his subjects?A sentence of being deceived by a treacherous minister can exonerate him from the crime!
-

Xie Qiao and Liu Shi returned to Fuguo Duke's Mansion in a carriage.

Liu's face was worried: "Sister Hua, why didn't you tell us about such a big matter?"

Xie Qiao shook his head: "Second Aunt, I don't want to implicate everyone, there are already so many people in their heads, enough is enough!"

Liu Shi smiled wryly, even if I told her, how could it help me?

"Second Aunt, thanks to your help from Shu'er, otherwise the edict hidden in the Duke of Zhen's mansion would not be retrieved, and I'm afraid I would not be able to return my grandfather's innocence." Xie Qiao didn't know that the reason why Emperor Ming was willing to return Duke Zhen's innocence was that That's an even bigger crime ahead!So, he chooses the lightest one!Even if he is 'negligent', it is an admission that he did something wrong!

It is too difficult for an emperor to admit his fault!
Liu Shi suddenly looked at Rong Shu.

Rong Shu said in a low voice, "Mother, it was that time when I went to the Zhen Guogong's mansion to pay homage to my aunt."

"You two... Sigh!" Liu sighed helplessly.

"Second Aunt, I'm tired, go back to the yard first." Xie Qiao took Mingxiu back to Chonghua Building.

Yu Qinglan was sitting on a stone bench under the wisteria trellis, holding a chess piece made of inkstone in her hand, playing chess alone.

Xie Qiao pushed Ming Xiu away and took a seat opposite him.

Yu Qinglan looked up at Xie Qiao fixedly.

Xie Qiao looked at the complicated look in his beautiful eyes, and thought it was funny: "What are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?"

Yu Qinglan lowered her head, her eyes fell on the chess game, but she didn't speak.

Xie Qiao reached out to disrupt the chess game, and said in a deep voice, "It wasn't you who did it, so why should you feel guilty for me?"

Yu Qinglan paused with her fingers, and said bitterly: "You really know."

Yes!

It has come to this point, how could she not know?

Prince Rong was not involved today, it was because she cared about him, so she covered it up?

In this way, it made him even more ashamed to see her.

The mockery on Yu Qinglan's face made Xie Qiao frown.Looking at this face that is close at hand and can be touched, slender fingers slid across his eyebrows and landed on his frowning brows. "I never blamed you, why should you blame yourself?"

She lightly tapped the center of her brows with her slightly cold fingers, and Yu Qinglan's heart trembled. He would remember the feeling of this moment for the rest of his life.

Xie Qiao smoothed his eyebrows, Yu Qinglan tilted her head slightly, her forehead pressed tightly against the finger she wanted to pull away, as if she would lose her if she let go, even if she was a senior brother and sister!
The corners of the mouth slowly raised, revealing a hint of sarcasm, when did he have her?He was already alone, and when he left Shennong Valley, he had nothing to lose, and what was left was only the good times they spent together in his memory!

"Qiaoqiao, I'm sorry." Yu Qinglan leaned back, leaving the intoxicating warmth on his forehead.

"Brother..."

"I already knew it, but I just couldn't tell you." Yu Qinglan's brows and eyes showed a touch of desolation and loneliness. He couldn't choose his relatives, and he couldn't change what had happened.I want to give her more and make up for her better.But in the end, he also lied to her!
He was afraid that if she learned that his father and king were also involved, causing her to lose her grandfather and even her mother, she would see her hateful eyes.

So, until the truth of the matter was revealed, he didn't tell her a word!

I am ready to see her today.

But she was too calm, with gentle and kind eyes, which made him feel uncomfortable.

His emotions rushed towards his face layer by layer like waves, making it hard for him to breathe.

Xie Qiao frowned slightly, and his voice was as cool as water: "You alienated me in Beijing because you were too close to me, and your father is not good for me?"

The breeze blew past, and the fragrance of wisteria flowers in the courtyard was gradually blooming. Yu Qinglan stared at her with her lips pursed, but did not answer her words.

Suddenly, slender fingers brushed over her bun, picking off a wisteria flower that fell between her hair.It seems to be stained with the fragrance of her body, turning back and forth at the fingertips.

After a long time, Yu Qinglan's thin lips parted lightly: "From now on, you have to take care of yourself!"

Xie Qiao nodded slightly, he really had to take care.

Once the matter is revealed, the dark tide will be raging, and it will all be brought to light.

Yu Qinglan smiled lightly, lifted her robe and got up to leave.

Xie Qiao took a few steps forward and said, "Brother, knowing you is the greatest blessing in my life."

Yu Qinglan's footsteps paused slightly, her hands tightly clenched in her sleeves, and she left without looking back.

He didn't even have the courage to look back.

-

Xie Qiao lay on the table, thinking about the few words Yu Qinglan said just now, and felt that he was weird, as if he was saying goodbye to her.

At some point, Qin Mo, who was wearing an ink-colored brocade robe with a gold border, sat quietly opposite her.

Xie Qiao supported his chin with one hand, and gently shook the teacup in his hand with the other, looking melodiously at the wisteria flowers outside the window, his eyes gradually became dazed.Asked softly: "Brother, is he leaving the capital?"

Qin Mo, who was silent on the opposite side, raised his teacup and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why, don't you want to give up?"

Xie Qiaoshou paused for a moment, bowed his head and did not speak, which meant that he really wanted to leave!His eyes fell on the smoky tea, and he said in a muffled voice: "I don't want to give up." Looking up at him, he repeated seriously: "I'm very reluctant."

Qin Mo moved his eyes to her snow-white face, put away the smile on his lips, looked at her calmly and said, "If you don't want to give up, let him stay here."

Xie Qiao shook his head, no one else could change any decision Yu Qinglan made.

Although, the heart of the matter lies with her.

If she went to persuade her to stay, he would not stay even more.

"From childhood to adulthood, he never listened to me. He only listened to me when I needed something. When he left Shennonggu, I kept him and even packed up his luggage. He planned to leave with him. However, he left quietly at night." Xie Qiao's eyes were wet, and he blinked, Qin Mo's face gradually blurred, and he couldn't see his expression clearly, "Where is he so easy to talk in the capital. "

There was darkness in Qin Mou's eyes, and he said in a cool tone, "It's because of this that you don't want to give up?"

Xie Qiao's arm suddenly wrapped around his arm resting on the table, and his forehead rested on his shoulder. His tone was extremely soft, mixed with a trace of undetectable fragility: "Every time someone appears by my side, someone leaves. You said, will I be left alone in the end?"

When she came across, she faced her mother's death.Aunt Qing sent her to Shennong Valley, and soon after the master took her in, Aunt Qing died.The master has passed away, and now the senior brother also has an insurmountable gap with her.

Who else is beside her?

Xie Qiao hugged his arm tightly, absorbing the warmth, and the warmth flowed down the veins of her fingertips to her cold heart.

And him!
Qin Mo held her head up, raised her chin, lowered her head slightly, the two looked at each other, Xie Qiao looked at his stern and serious face, and heard him say each word: "There is me."

Before Xie Qiao opened his mouth, he leaned over and kissed her lips without warning, inducing her to slightly open her lips and suck gently.He dealt with it patiently, as if trying to calm down the uneasiness in her heart.

Holding her in his arms with strong arms, Xie Qiao put his arms around his neck, resting his head on his heart.His hand gently caressed her back, and suddenly, she seemed to hear the seeds sown in her heart, slowly sprouting and growing into a vine, weaving into a huge net, entwining her.

At this moment, she didn't have any struggles, she was willing to sink into it.

-

Xie Qiao was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, with a mahogany comb in his hand, combing his black hair absent-mindedly.

Yesterday, she leaned in Qin Mo's arms and fell asleep under his caress.

Sleep, sleep until the sun rises today.

"Miss, the king of the county guarded you all night, and he left just after dawn this morning." Mingxiu picked out a jade hairpin to tie her hair into a bun, watched Xie Qiao pick up the lip balm and gently smeared it on her lips, teasing Said: "Miss, don't you like to apply lip balm?"

"Occasionally smear it to change your mood." Xie Qiao took a selfie in the mirror, looked at Mingxiu with a smile and said: "Ye Zhou made a mistake, can you forgive him?"

Mingxiu blushed, bit her lip and said: "Miss, you don't know who he is? Don't entrust him with important matters in the future, lest he fall into your danger again."

"That's good, assign him to be a driver." Xie Qiao said seriously.

"Miss--"

"You are really hard to serve, I can do anything to you, what else can I do?" Xie Qiao glanced sideways at her, and suddenly asked, "What did the county king do here yesterday?"

"The prince of the county discussed with you. The eldest princess saw that she was dying. If she passed away, she might not be able to get married within three years. I want to advance the wedding date, and it depends on whether you agree." Mingxiu murmured in his heart that the two had spent most of the day together yesterday, Neither was discussed.The eldest princess was so angry that she vomited blood yesterday, and it is estimated that she will live in a few days.

Xie Qiao thought for a while, nodded and said, "You go and spread the word, let him decide."

"Hey!" Mingxiu responded, suddenly remembered something, leaned into Xie Qiao's ear and said: "Today, the emperor ordered people to send the portraits of the unmarried noble daughters of the third rank and above in the capital to the post station for the selection of the Daqing war king. .”

Xie Qiao raised his eyebrows and sighed, "Emperor Ming is treating the favorite of the ministers in Beijing as a cabbage and letting Nangong Xiao pick it. I'm afraid it will chill everyone's hearts."

"That's right, the wives of the mansions dare not say it openly, but secretly scolded that person a lot." After Ming Xiu finished speaking, she planned to go out to do some business.

"Wait, I'll go to the medical clinic." Xie Qiao thought to himself, since the wedding date was brought forward, things in the medical clinic might have to open earlier.

Before going out, Ye Zhou came over with an ugly face and said to her: "Miss, someone is making trouble in the small clinic! He wanted to see you by name, but Dr. Lin only said that you were not there, so he smashed the clinic and arrested Lin. The doctor wants us to invite you over."

Xie Qiao looked cold, and got into the carriage to go to the small clinic.From a distance, he could see Nangong Xiao in a purple robe, playing with an ivory rope chain in his hand.

His eyes paused, fixed on the ivory in his hand.

 Dear friends, I'm sorry, Xiaobao has a cold and cough, Yan'er took him to the hospital for an examination today, the update is late.Tomorrow's update is still at nine o'clock in the evening, okay~
