Fortune Princess

Chapter 159
Under the emperor's arrangement, the Zhao family was successfully overthrown. The crime of treason, corruption and bribery, dereliction of duty and other big hats were deducted together, and the whole family was directly executed.

Only the second prince, Xiao Yiheng, who was the emperor's son, was picked out. After this incident, he also lost his qualification to inherit the throne forever, and was raised under the name of Concubine Mu. Even in the future, he could not be named a prince, but became an eternal prince.

The second prince who always said what his mother and concubine said, without the care of his mother and concubine, without the support of the Zhao family, even An Lebo fell down, and has been depressed since then. .

Concubine Mu Gui didn't care, she had always been childless, so what if she was a useless son.The overall situation is uncertain, and everything is still unknown.After Concubine Zhao fell from power, Concubine Mu Gui became the object of the harem concubines' scrambling to curry favor, and the power of assistant to the Six Palaces naturally fell into her hands.

When she attached herself to Concubine Zhao, Concubine Mu herself had a lot of power in secret, but she kept it hidden all the time. Now no one in the entire harem dares to look down on Concubine Mu, instead they are looking forward to it, even more than when Concubine Zhao was in power.

"Congratulations, master, congratulations, master." The maids and eunuchs in the Chunxi Palace knelt down on the ground, and Concubine Mu Gui lightly raised her bare hands, making everyone stand up.

"You guys are considerate. In this troubled time, even if we are being flattered by people in our palace, we must not take it lightly. We must always guard our duty. If I let this palace know who is doing mischief outside, this palace will never forgive me lightly." The queen passed away. The Zhao family was down, and she was able to sit all the way to her present position, not by luck.

"Yes!" The crowd waited in unison.

Huo Ting originally entered the palace angrily, but stopped halfway through.Although the son knew about such a big worry, he, the father, was kept in the dark.And speaking of the three of them being sworn brothers and rebelling together back then, I didn't expect that old boy Guan Jun to have evil intentions all the time.

Knowing that he and his son were both in the Imperial City Guard, they still wanted to bury gunpowder.Not only did he want to kill the emperor, but he didn't let him go.No matter what grievances there are, it has nothing to do with Jing Yi, he doesn't regret Guan Jun being killed at all, it's fine to plot against Lao Tzu, even Jing Yi is not spared, that's what he deserves!

"That's right." Xiao Qixing replied directly. Although these words were hurtful, he didn't want to deceive his brothers who had lived and died together for many years.

"Then you know it's nothing to do with me now?" Thinking of Guan Jun's madness on the high platform, Huo Ting also felt sympathy, his power is charming.

Huo Ting was impatient, choked up when he had something to say, and seeing that the emperor didn't want to speak, he asked directly: "I don't know why the emperor summoned the minister? If there is no order, the minister will leave. There are still a lot of things waiting for the minister to deal with .”

In the imperial study room, the palace people were dismissed, only the emperor and Huo Ting were there. After paying homage, Huo Ting stood with his back straight and did not speak.Xiao Qixing seemed to have no intention of breaking the tranquility, and lowered his eyes to look at the book in his hand.

Cursing secretly, Huo Ting taunted: "Conceal it? Isn't the emperor covering everyone up to the bone? Do you know how many injuries my imperial city guard has?" Thinking of the chaotic scene of the horse madman howling, Huo Ting's forehead was bruised. He couldn't wait to punch Xiao Qixing in the face.

"Let's not waste time, come with the old slave."

Huo Ting clenched his fists tightly, and followed the eunuch to meet the emperor.

"What about the gunpowder matter? Xiao Qixing, am I among your suspicions?" Huo Ting looked into Xiao Qixing's eyes firmly, not allowing him to dodge in the slightest.

"That's right! You don't know how relieved I am!" He patted Huo Ting's shoulder heavily with one hand, Xiao Qixing felt a little consoling.

"Huo Ting, I know you are angry in your heart. There is nothing to hide between brothers, just say it." Putting down the folder, Xiao Qixing got up and walked around the table, and walked in front of Huo Ting.
Standing opposite each other, looking at each other inquiringly.

Xiao Qixing knew that he was wrong in this matter, and he didn't want to separate with Huo Ting. After Chen'er and Jing Yi discovered the abnormality, it was the best way to stay still, otherwise how could Guan Jun, a big fish, be thrown out.It was a helpless move for the imperial city guards to suffer losses. After weighing the pros and cons, a little sacrifice was inevitable.

"I don't want to refute anything. The imperial physicians of the imperial hospital are at your disposal. They will use the best medicine and give out compensation money to each injured person. This is what I can promise you."

Hearing that it was his son and the prince who discovered it first, Huo Ting's anger suddenly showed signs of shifting towards Jing Yi, you bastard!
Can't you tell him first, if Xiao Qixing's plan fails, wouldn't he want to bury these two lunatics with him?

The emperor didn't tell him, and it seems that even he was suspicious. After all, both he and Guan Jun knew about the secret passage in the construction map of Bing Ma Si.

When he was hesitating, the chief eunuch led several young eunuchs from a distance and saw Huo Ting at a glance.Hastily walked two steps to the front: "Oh, Lord Hou, why don't you say that you and the emperor have a good heart, the emperor just ordered the old slave to pass you on, and you entered the palace by yourself."

"Chen'er and Jing Yi found out about this, and I had someone go to Bingmasi to investigate. Most of the gunpowder is hidden in the secret passage, and the blueprint of Bingmasi's construction is only known to you and me. You are the same level of familiarity with Guan Jun. Although Jing Yi told me about this, there is no guarantee that you did not conspire with Guan Jun to plot against me, so I have to guard against it."

"..." Huo Ting looked at Xiao Qixing silently. When the three of them fought together from a small place, even if a soldier was bullied, the person who stood up for him without hesitation disappeared. Xiao Qixing in front of him is the emperor, who knows how to calculate gains and losses, Exclude men who are different from you.

"Bullshit!" Cursing, slapping off the hands that were in the way, Huo Ting turned around and left. He didn't want to waste time talking to lunatics here. Wouldn't it be nice if he had the time to go home and see Qingyu Wencun?

The door of the imperial study room was closed, Xiao Qixing smiled, he knew that with Huo Ting's temper, he was forgiven, it was not easy for a group of people to break out from a small remote place, and now there are not many old people left, although he is the emperor, To take the overall situation into consideration, but also reluctant to part with these old buddies.

Seeing a group of people related to Guan Jun waiting to be imprisoned and decapitated, the search for the news of the alien race has been fruitless.The military parade has come to an end for the time being, and Jing Yi also had a two-day rest. He was flustered at home, and suddenly remembered the person he bumped into on the street that day, smashing his mouth, thinking that his beauty was drunk , I wonder if he is still in the inn?
He didn't ride a horse when he left the Hou's mansion, so he wandered alone to Yunlai Inn, casually called the waiter and asked, "Is the guest who stayed at Tianzihao still here?"

"It's an unfortunate coincidence that the guest has already checked out earlier." Wei Ping was extraordinarily generous, and when Jing Yi mentioned it, Xiao Er had an impression.
