The five men in black were all knocked down, their eyes widened and they stared at Fang Xu fiercely.

Fang Xu looked at them with a cold expression and whispered, "Ye Ming, go and investigate. If you can't find anything, you will be punished."

She didn't know who she had offended, and she was in danger twice in just two days.

What kind of hatred is it?
Ye Ming stood up with his arms and walked to the five people. Just as he was about to search them, he saw blood oozing from the corners of their mouths.

"They've taken poison!" Su Zi exclaimed, pointing at them and shouting.

Ye Ming hurriedly tried to stop him, but to no avail.

Five people fell down one after another, their movements uniform.

Ye Ming stood there at a loss, looked back at his master on the bed, and whispered, "Madam, you are so young and useless."

"I don't blame you." Fang Xu looked at the corpses on the ground, his temples pounding. "These people are dead soldiers and very loyal. There is no way to pry their mouths open."

Fang Xu sighed lightly and waved his hand casually, "Go and deal with it, I look upset."

"Yes." Ye Ming agreed, bent down and grabbed the person's ankle, dragging him outward with force.

Song Huixin breathed a sigh of relief, and the hand holding the sword hilt trembled slightly.

Fang Xu noticed her movements and spoke softly, "Huixin, do you feel any discomfort?"

Song Huixin shook his head, pursed his lips and smiled, "Don't worry, mother, I'm fine. I just saw you almost get into trouble, so I was a little frightened."

Fang Xu nodded, patted the edge of the bed, and whispered, "Come sit here and I will take your pulse."

Song Huixin nodded and sat next to her obediently, very well-behaved.

When Shen Ji and his men arrived, Fang Xu was prescribing anti-fetal medicine for Song Huixin, and the corpse on the ground had been tidied up and restored to its original state.

"Madam..." Shen Ji looked at her, his eyes full of worry, "Did anything happen while I was away?"

Fang Xu looked at him and said in a calm tone, "Why do you ask?"

Shen Ji frowned and repeated Xia Zhao's words.

"It turns out he is one of his people." Fang Xu snorted coldly, a hint of coolness flashed in his beautiful eyes, "The plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain is finally made clear to him."

Shen Ji looked at her, brows furrowed, "Is Madam injured?"

Fang Xu shook his head slowly, his tone full of regret, "It's really boring. He shouldn't have been allowed to die so early. Once he dies, there will be no fun in the capital."

Shen Ji breathed a sigh of relief and let go of the boulder weighing on his heart, "It'll be fine if nothing happens."

I'm afraid only God knows how scared he was on the way here.
-
Late in the evening, a carriage quietly stopped in front of the palace gate.

In the main hall, Yuan Chen stood in front of the throne with his hands behind his back, his brows twisted into a tight knot.

Shen Ji sat under the stage, wearing a long moon-white gown, holding a tea cup, using the tea lid to float the tea leaves on the surface, and took a sip with a calm expression.

"presumptuous!"

Shen Ji shook his hand and spilled some tea.

Looking down at his soaked clothes, Shen Ji was speechless for a moment.

"They're all so presumptuous!" Yuan Chen could no longer hold back his temper, grabbed the book on the table, and said loudly, "What do they want to do? After being greedy for so much, they are not afraid of dying!"

“The disaster relief money was continuously given out, but when I asked, there was still no money. All the money went into my own pocket!”

Yuan Chenjun's face was slightly red, and he was obviously very angry. He slapped the booklet heavily on the table, furious.

"Your Majesty, calm down." Shen Ji said calmly without even raising his eyelids, "I'm afraid I won't be able to finish my anger with these villains." "Shen Qing is calm and relaxed." Yuan Chen looked coldly and stared in front of him with lowered eyes. The booklet said, "These vain rats are greedy for even the people's life-saving money. Cutting them into pieces with a thousand cuts is not enough to calm my anger!"

"Your Majesty, don't be anxious. Tang Zhousheng has been brought to justice. In just three days, he was punished for being a human being and a ghost. He was almost beaten until his own mother could not recognize him." Shen Ji tilted his head slightly and smiled at the corner of his mouth. The tone was very casual, "If they still have some brains, they should understand the principle of killing chickens to scare monkeys."

"This……"

"I was passing through Zhuoxian County and encountered a natural disaster. I was also the one punishing corrupt officials with cruel methods. Everything inside and outside this place has nothing to do with the emperor."

Shen Ji seemed to have anticipated the emperor's thoughts, and before he could speak, he directed the conversation to himself.

Yuan Chen's frown relaxed, and his expression softened a lot, "Having Shen Qing in the court is a blessing for the people of Dayan."

"Your Majesty, you praise me so much." Shen Ji had a faint smile on his lips and took another sip of tea unhurriedly.

"emperor!"

Zhuo Ming rushed into the room in a panic, glanced at Shen Ji beside him, and hesitated to speak.

Yuan Chen looked unhappy, glared at him, and whispered, "Just say what you have to say."

"...Yes." Zhuo Ming glanced at Shen Ji cautiously, thought about it again and again, and then whispered, "Your Majesty, Prince Huai and Prince Ping are all gone."

"What!" Yuan Chen stared, unable to believe his ears, "How could two living people disappear?"

Shen Ji also sat up straight, with a rare trace of surprise on his face.

"Have you searched carefully?"

Yuan Chen looked solemn and frowned, frightening Zhuo Ming.

"When I returned to the emperor, I searched carefully and found that the two princes were indeed missing." Zhuo Ming lowered his head, not daring to breathe, "And... the secret guards who had been watching the palace did not notice that the two princes left. .”

"How could this be?" Yuan Chen was unsure and murmured, "Where can the second brother and Eleven go..."

"Your Majesty... I still have something to report..." Zhuo Ming whispered as his body couldn't stop trembling.

Yuan Chen suddenly came back to his senses and looked at him coldly, as if waiting for his next words.

Zhuo Ming swallowed, shrank his neck, and could only stare at the floor of the hall, "The people who used to work for Cen Zhenjiang have also disappeared..."

Yuan Chen's eyes went dark, and he thought it was just a dream, "How could this be so presumptuous... How dare they!"

Based on his understanding of the brothers, the old Yuan Shao and the eleven Yuan Meng were soft-tempered, cowardly and incompetent, and they would never have any dissatisfaction with the throne.

But now that the facts were in front of him, he couldn't tolerate disbelief.

Anger filled his heart, and there was a sweetness in his throat.

Yuan Chen couldn't stand, he spat out a large mouthful of dirty blood, and his body collapsed.

"Your Majesty!" Zhuo Ming exclaimed and rushed towards the top, rolling and crawling, "Emperor Physician! Come here, go and ask for the Imperial Physician... No... You can't ask for the Imperial Physician..."

Shen Ji was also panicked for a moment, and did not notice Zhuo Ming, who looked strange, striding towards the unconscious Yuan Chen, holding his shoulders, and whispered, "Your Majesty..."

Yuan Chen's eyes were closed tightly, and there was no trace of blood on his face. Only when you look closer can you see the sick look on his face.

Shen Ji frowned and raised his eyes to look at Zhuo Ming aside. Then he remembered his inconsistent words and asked in a low voice, "Is the emperor sick?"

Hearing this, Zhuo Ming's face changed, his eyes wandered, and he didn't dare to look at him, "This... little one doesn't..."

"You'd better tell the truth." Shen Ji looked at him coldly and said in a cold tone, "If you delay the emperor's condition, do you know what the crime is?"
