Everything seems to be turbulent, and sometimes it seems to be calm. Everyone in the city knew who caused the snowstorm, but at this time the emperor rarely maintained a tacit understanding with the King of Qin and remained silent.

But the disaster could not be solved, and the New Year was not a happy one. In order to avoid accidents, Ti Zhen had no choice but to stay behind closed doors. But even if he stayed behind closed doors, a bunch of smelly fish and rotten shrimps were still thrown at the door of Prince Qin's Mansion.

The people's resentment was boiling, and they finally couldn't bear it anymore. People paraded in the streets and shouted that "the King of Qin should divorce his wife and deprive the Shi family of all rewards" to appease the anger.

For a while, even the emperor was gloating after hearing this, and the courtiers were just looking for fun to see where King Qin would go between the beauty and the people.

Ti Zhen was very angry because she had been plotted by Han Ying, but now he used the theory of celestial phenomena to suppress her. She was so angry that her hair almost stood up.

He said angrily: "If Xi Shi conquered the Wu Kingdom, who would it be if the Yue Kingdom fell? What a stupid people. They only know how to steer the ship according to the wind but have no sense of independence!"

Naturally, for her, whether she lost her title as a princess or was dismissed from the positions of her brother and brother-in-law, it was a serious loss. She has lost her confidant Zhou Yishui, and now that the Shi family is going to be reduced again, she will become a powerless and half-assed princess.

I'm just afraid that I won't be eaten alive by Hu Yanyan and his ilk in the future.

She narrowed her eyes and asked, "What do you mean, Your Highness?"

Wenxiu said calmly: "His Highness and the girl are one and the same. Naturally, I find it extremely ridiculous, but..."

She hesitated to speak, "Guan Tong was very positive in affirming the opinions of those ignorant people, and even tried to persuade His Highness from time to time, but His Highness never listened."

"Really!" Ti Zhen choked and gently touched Ling Yue's hair.

Almost at the same moment, Guan Tong came in and said hello to her, "Your Highness invites the princess to go to the study to make tea by the stove."

He didn't look good, and he felt that he could use rumors to drive Shi Shi down from the position of princess, but he didn't want his master to make up his mind. He also asked him to come and ask for tea. After bowing respectfully, he walked over.

Since he knew his heart, Ti Zhen didn't want to get angry with him at this moment. He just asked him to lead the way, but he accidentally thought of something.

"I heard... your name was not Guan Tong?"

He responded disdainfully, "Yes, my surname is Ji. My original name is Ji Jiang. 'Guan Tong' is the name given by His Highness."

Ti Zhen said calmly and clearly, "That's a really good name."

The heavy snow still showed no sign of stopping. Wen Yu knew that if things continued like this, riots would occur sooner or later. It was a matter of heart for heart. Whether he was deposed or dismissed, this was nothing more than a personal pain for him.

After thinking for a long time, one morning, he had his official robes placed on the Central Street, and he cut off his hair with a dagger and spread it under the sky, signaling that he would take off his robes and shave off his hair to pay for his wife's sin. The people were outraged. Calm down a bit.

It was also that night that Zuo Fengyi's archives collapsed. When emergency personnel arrived, they saw a roll of case files lying dozens of meters away. Everyone felt something strange. When they picked it up, they were a little frightened. .

A few days later, in the morning, the snow had already stopped, the sun shone out, and occasionally water droplets from melted ice fell down the eaves.

Ti Zhen visited the study as usual and saw Wen Yu reluctantly smiling, "You're here."

She said: "I heard that there is an old case that needs to be settled recently. Knowing that you are in a bad mood, I brought some candied fruits to make tea."

Wen Yu gently put his hand on the table, "I really didn't expect that Hu Yanzhan's death was actually at the hands of Guan Tong. It was Guan Tong who secretly poisoned her... and poisoned her to death... but it was a strange combination of circumstances. The mistake caused the Huyan family and the Zheng family to be separated for many years..."

She quietly stood beside him, "After all, Guan Tong's loyalty is true. No matter who is the crown princess, Hu Yan or Zheng, they will not be a threat to you."

Wen Yu looked at her clear eyes and understood clearly, "Zuo Fengyi's archives have been loaded with the case files of the previous dynasty. I know you have known it for a long time, otherwise Zuo Fengyi would not have collapsed for no reason."

She didn't bother to hide it, "Wen Yu is so smart, there are some things I can't hide from him."

Truthfully said: "The love letter in the case file about Hu Yanzhan's poisoning was naturally what I wanted everyone to see. But in the end, Guan Tong was just a slave who wanted to investigate the case at that time. It is naturally impossible for an official to completely silence him. He would only dare to do so unless authorized by someone with a higher status."

He gestured softly: "Guan Tong is just the person who does the work. There is someone else who really wants Hu Yanzan to die. Who do you think would be taboo about Hu Yanzan being your crown princess?"

A person's name quickly flashed in Wen Yu's eyes, and he couldn't believe it, "I...mother..."

Ti Zhen nodded in agreement, "That's right. Although Queen Huyan is very powerful, she is constrained by Huyanyan and cannot control many things. In this case, how could she bear to let you become your uncle's pawn?"

"If you love your son so much, even if it is your own niece, why not sacrifice it?" Wen Yu's eyes flashed with shock and curiosity. However, before his mood calmed down for a moment, Ti Zhen sighed again: "Guan Tong must be here." In the eyes, I am also the one who can be sacrificed to cope with the catastrophe."

She opened the box of preserves, took a small spoon and picked out two or three, "As soon as winter comes, my old problem with cold comes back. The soup is too bitter, so I inevitably need preserves to relieve the bitterness. But this preserve is also mixed with What, you know better than me after just one taste."

Wen Yu raised his eyes in surprise. The conspiracy and calculation since he was young also allowed him to develop the ability to distinguish poisons. He took out a candied fruit and rubbed it gently, and a thin and hard powder stuck to his index finger.

There was a huge earthquake, "...Diamond powder!"

Ti Zhen nodded vigorously, "Yes, this stuff is colorless and odorless, and has high hardness. If it is eaten into the stomach, the intestines and stomach cannot digest it. Sooner or later, the intestines and stomach will wear out, the intestines will pierce and rot, and you will die. It just so happens that these days, I should not eat it because I get angry. It’s sweet, so I just gave it to a maid. She vomited blood three days ago, and Su Zhe said...there is nothing she can do about it."

She sighed slowly, "On the day that the candied fruit was delivered, Guan Tong opened the lid, and there was no one else around."

Wen Yu's face was faintly green, like the decaying grass blades in autumn. He already knew that Guan Tong was disobedient, but he didn't expect that he would be so bold!

Seeing that he was angry, Ti Zhen continued: "If I die, I will really offend people as the celestial phenomena say. Then everyone will think that I committed suicide because of the celestial phenomena. Who will investigate the real cause of my death? "

"Besides, Guan Tong was involved in the two poisonings, so he is not unjust."

Wen Yu clenched his fist with his right hand, "Guan Tong... very good! Very good! I thought he was always obedient, but I didn't want to be so bold and bold like this! It's really... regretful... It's a waste that he grew up with me... "

Ti Zhen's sigh was as cool as the autumn rain, "He is extremely brave and dares to be his own master. Such a unruly slave should be executed. But I also know that he grew up with you. Yes, even if there are evils, there are also benefits. As the saying goes, again and again, I am not a person who holds grudges. I should give him a chance to redeem himself, why not..."

She said eloquently: "It is better to use the theory of celestial phenomena to send Ji Jiang to another hospital. Firstly, it can quell the rumors of 'the heroine takes the place of Wei'. Secondly, it will prevent him from doing harm to me again. Thirdly, it will not hurt him." life."

"As for the death of Huyan Zan, let's just treat it as an old thing and not pursue it. The case file will be burned and it will be settled. It is better than a thorough investigation. Not only is Queen Huyan's reputation difficult to protect, but Ji Jiang's life is even more difficult to protect."

Her tone was light and touching, but it also implied an exchange of equal value. After all, the relationship between Guan Tong and Wen Yu was really deep. As long as it didn't cause any substantial harm, Wen Yu would still ignore the favor no matter how much he hated it.

She doesn't blame him for this. A person has the advantage of being soft-hearted, but also has the disadvantage of being too nostalgic. If he really kills Guan Tong with a knife, then she will really be afraid of the future.

It's just that Guan Tong, the scourge, is too close to Wen Yu and will do great harm to her sooner or later.

Since Wen Yu was reluctant to kill him, it would be better for her to follow the trend and use the death of Hu Yanzhan and the diamond powder to let Guan Tong take the blame for the so-called "heroine on behalf of Wei"! Stay away from the palace completely!

What's more, Ji Jiang... Ji also comes from "female". Even if the daughter of "the heroine takes the place of Wei" is "Ji", some people may not believe it.

Whether it was the diamond powder or the death of Hu Yanzhan, Ti Zhen only exposed it but did not announce it. This was a concession, and Wen Yu would not refuse it regardless of emotion or reason.

After all, Guan Tong had said too many bad things about Wen Yu around her.

Sure enough, Wen Yu readily agreed to this approach, hummed softly, and called her, "Since you have made a decision, come up with the decree for me."

She nodded, her pen full of red like an arrow and a new lotus, "Ji Jiang saw that he had no generals, and he had something to hide. Since Qin Tianjian has designated you as the 'female who represents Wei', you deserve to die. I am alone." Thinking of his many years of service, I couldn't bear it, so I was demoted to another hospital and given a sinecure."

After she finished writing, she put down her pen, raised her face, and looked back at him calmly, "Zhen'er won't be afraid, and he will be humbled by the words of an adulterer, and he will feel at ease from now on."

He also said silently, "Stay close to virtuous ministers and stay away from villains, that's what you should do."

Guan Tong was punished in the morning, and Xue stopped in the afternoon. Even if some people had doubts about Guan Tong being the so-called "heroine", no one said that the "heroine" must be a woman, not someone with a female name.

What's more, when the sky clears and the snow melts, there is nothing more proof than God opening his eyes.

However, Guan Tong was still roaring when he was taken to Bieyuan. Ti Zhen happened to be passing by, so he couldn't help but exchange a few words, "Ji Jiang, His Highness is already very tolerant. You should be careful what you say."

Her appearance caught Guan Tong off guard, "Bitch, you framed me, you asked me to take the blame for you, you are shameless!"

"What kind of frame-up?" She looked leisurely at the treetops and said, "It's you who always wanted to get rid of me. If you hadn't said so many bad things about me in front of your master, your master wouldn't have believed that candied fruit so much." You put the diamond powder in the jar. You are the one who trapped yourself, you are so stupid."

I don't know what I thought of and let out a long sigh, "By the way, this is based on the method you used to use the Wang family to poison me in the past. But you harmed me, I didn't force your master to kill you, I just asked you to help me stop it. It’s just about celestial phenomena.”

"Actually, I don't care about the theory of celestial phenomena. It's you who wants to use it to kill me. Since you are so taboo about it, I don't mind using the theory of celestial phenomena to give you a ride."

She sneered slightly, her smile like snow-white sharp lightning, "So if you want to add insult to injury, you have to think carefully first, otherwise you will shoot yourself in the foot. That would be really ridiculous." Then she pointed at him, "This It's your second provocation, remember."

Then he turned around and left leisurely. Guan Tong was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot and he was gnashing his teeth.
