Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 431 With evil intentions, the Xiao family is in trouble!
Seeing the obedient child in Shen Ninghua's arms, Baili Junyi couldn't help but smile.The situation in the capital is dangerous, and the minds of all the officials in the court are treacherous, and only the minds of children are the most pure and harmless, which makes people relax involuntarily.

He stepped forward to help Shen Ninghua up, and then picked up the two children one by one: "Okay, go back to the mansion first, and talk after you go in if you have anything to say."

Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua walked into the mansion, and the spies who quietly hid around quickly passed the news back to the palace.

At this time, in the palace, the prince waved away the crowd, walked to the Chengqian Hall alone, looked up at the high throne, with a gleam in his eyes that he was bound to win.I saw him walking towards the throne step by step, step by step on the couch carved with auspicious clouds and dragon patterns, he seemed to be able to hear the kneeling and congratulations to him around him, the feeling of looking down on the world and in charge of life and death made his blood boil .

The gentle smile in the past disappeared little by little, and was replaced by indulgence and evil. In order to get this position, he disguised himself layer by layer, wanting to be a qualified prince in front of Baili Qingcang, and wanting to be recognized by everyone in the world. Prince, everything has been successfully pretended. Baili Qingcang has a lot of trust in him, and the people all over the world respect and love him. It's a pity that everything changed after Baili Junyi appeared.

First, the queen mother suffered, and then he was implicated many times, to the point where he was almost abolished as the crown prince, so he couldn't wait any longer.The father has lived long enough, and it's time to hand over the power to him.If he hadn't been forced to be helpless, he didn't want to go to the step of killing his father and king, but it's a pity that good fortune tricks people...

He flung his robes violently, turned around and sat on the dragon chair, the light in his eyes stared at Wushuang, he raised his hand and made a gesture of flattening all the courtiers, and then slowly smiled.After a while, when he had had enough sitting, he got up and straightened his robes, put on a gentle and decent smile on his face again, and walked out of Chengqian Hall slowly.

In Tai's womb, there are already subordinates waiting.

"The slave sees the prince."

"Stay flat, how about it?"

"Reporting to His Royal Highness, the fifth prince and Princess Zhaohua went back to the mansion directly, and did not contact anyone else. However, the news in the mansion cannot be heard by the subordinates and others."

Baili Jinyi frowned: "Can't you hear it?"

"Yes, after the two returned to the mansion, there were suddenly many more experts in the mansion, and the spies sent by the servants were killed, and now they can't get close at all."

"A master?" Baili Jinyi sneered, "It seems that this younger brother of the Fifth Emperor has hidden it deep enough. Seeing how he showed his loyalty to the emperor before, I really thought he was loyal to the emperor. Thinking carefully, hmph, I still don’t believe in sending out a group of people from Qingtian Pavilion, his house is like an iron bucket.” The sudden addition of masters, this is a demonstration against him, hehe, it depends on who can do it. I had the last laugh.

"Yes."

When the subordinates retreated, Baili Jinyi showed a sneer, "Since the five emperors have protested against Gu, let's start with him."

In the fifth prince's mansion, Hong Ling reported the beheading of the spies, Shen Ninghua frowned slightly: "It seems that the prince wants to start with us first."

"Well." Baili Junyi nodded, "Unfortunately, now that the father is in a coma, the Dragon Scale Army and the Imperial Guards are trapped in the palace, and the dark guards cannot act without orders. Our plan is almost impossible. Totally messed up."

"I'm afraid it's not the main thing that the plan is disrupted. I'm more worried that the crown prince will expand the affairs of the Xia family and directly kill us. Once we leave the capital, the emperor's side may be in danger."

"He can really do such a thing." Baili Junyi said coldly, "We can leave secretly for a while, but the father is still in the palace, so we can't watch him have something to do."

Shen Ninghua's mind moved slightly, and she thought of a way, but Baili Junyi would not agree to this plan if she said it out, let's see and talk, if you can't find a better way, you can only risk yourself .

The next day, the first day the crown prince supervised the country, he replaced Baili Qingcang in the early court to deal with the backlog of government affairs during the autumn hunting period.

Xiao Jingran took the lead: "His Royal Highness, the old minister heard that the emperor fainted because he heard that Princess Zhaohua sent someone to assassinate him, and he fell ill after being sad for a while. I don't know if this is the case?"

Baili Jinyi looked embarrassed: "This matter has not been investigated clearly. Many ministers present saw the scene at that time. Father said that he believed that Princess Zhaohua would not do something to assassinate him. Thinking about it, this matter should be It has nothing to do with Princess Zhaohua."

"His Royal Highness, this matter is related to the safety of the emperor. How can we take it for granted? It is better to investigate thoroughly. I heard that the most important witness is Princess Zhaohua's aunt, Mrs. Xia. The old minister suggested that Xia should be interrogated immediately. Ma'am, investigate the truth of the matter and deal with the culprit who assassinated the emperor, so that the emperor can untangle his heart and wake up as soon as possible."

As soon as Xiao Jingran's words fell, many ministers immediately echoed: "I think what Old General Xiao said is very true."

"The minister thinks so too."

"His Royal Highness, please find out the murderer, and help the emperor get rid of the knot as soon as possible."

Baili Jinyi nodded: "Okay, since all the adults are pleading for orders together, I will investigate this matter first, but Mrs. Xia is being guarded by Concubine Qi, how about this, when the morning is over, the younger brothers and Xiao The old general and the three ministers stay here for a while, I will send someone to invite the imperial concubine to bring Mrs. Xia over, and we will investigate the matter clearly when the time comes."

Xiao Jingran's wish came true, a smile flashed in his eyes, he turned his head to look at Baili Junyi, a mocking smile flashed across his lips: "Your Highness Fifth Prince, you still need to invite Princess Zhaohua, you don't mind right?"

"If necessary, Ninghua is willing to cooperate. After all, it is for the sake of the emperor, isn't it?" Baili Junyi deliberately emphasized the word "father", but his heart was full of sarcasm. These ministers kept thinking of the emperor. , to help the emperor untie his knots, but in fact they are all like dogs, and they are all helping Baili Jinyi to seek the upper position.Do they think that if Baili Jinyi wins, they will have the merit of being a dragon?At that time, I am afraid that the first batch of executions will be these so-called "heroes"!
Xiao Jingran smiled presumptuously: "That's good. I'm still worried that if the fifth prince doesn't cooperate, there will be another conflict. After all, for Princess Zhaohua, the fifth prince dared to disobey the imperial decree!" Let's expose Baili Junyi's dark history in advance At that time, if they want to execute Shen Ninghua, Baili Junyi will definitely fight each other desperately. At that time, this dark history will become the best evidence to execute him together.After all, in the past, Baili Junyi would resist the decree for Shen Ninghua, but now he would kill the king for Shen Ninghua, isn't it justified?
During the autumn hunting period, there was a lot of backlog of government affairs, but there were few really difficult ones, and they were dealt with extremely quickly. Soon, the ministers who had nothing to do left the Chengqian Palace in a hurry, leaving only those who were named by the prince before.

The crown prince turned his head and ordered the servant at the side: "Go and invite the noble concubine Qi to come and ask her to bring Mrs. Xia over."

"Yes." The servant hurriedly issued an order.

Concubine Qi couldn't help sneering when she heard the call, and looked at Xia Jingqiu who was kneeling on the ground: "Mrs. Xia, I originally wanted to give you a few words of advice, but now it seems that I don't need it anymore. No matter who is behind you, I'm afraid it's you In the end, there is no chance to get out of Chengqian Hall, so let's do it for ourselves."

Xia Jingqiu's heart trembled, and there was some hesitation in her heart. She was not a particularly firm person, and she used to rely on a wave of resentment to support her, but later she saw that the development of things far exceeded her expectations, and she vaguely understood that she was being used.It's just that now that things have developed to this point, it's probably impossible for her to get out of her body.

"Thank you for your persuasion, my concubine, I know what to say."

Seeing that she still didn't intend to confess the person behind her back, Concubine Qi sneered in her heart: I am really dazzled by wealth, many things have to be enjoyed with my life, I really don't understand how such a smart person as Shen Ninghua can... But my aunt couldn't figure it out.

At the same time, Shen Ninghua also received the news to let her enter the palace.Qing Que, Hong Ling and the others looked at her worriedly, almost anxious to shed tears: "Miss..."

Shen Ninghua smiled, stretched out her hand to caress her stomach, felt the slight movement of the fetus, and her gaze was firm: "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

With Ye Yi guarding the mansion, Qing Que and Hong Ling accompanied Shen Ninghua into the palace together. The two followed behind Shen Ninghua, startled and made plans in their hearts. Protect Shen Ninghua and escape!
Concubine Qi arrived first with her people, while Shen Ninghua was later.

When everyone had arrived, the prince said, "At the request of your lords today, I came to question Mrs. Xia and investigate the truth about the assassination of my father. This can be regarded as an explanation to the world. Mrs. Xia, you said earlier that the person who assassinated you had a sleeve embroidered The imprint of rhododendrons is the unique symbol of the Xia family, but is it true?"

Xia Jingqiu looked up at Baili Jinyi, seeing him nodding to her with gentle eyes, her thoughts gradually became firmer: "Yes, this servant is from the Xia family, and I have been with Xia Jingyan for so many years. They all bear the unique imprint of rhododendrons, even the furniture and jewelry, absolutely unmistakable!"

The prince looked at Shen Ninghua: "Fifth brother and sister, this matter is really embarrassing for Gu, this..."

Xiao Jingran suddenly stood up: "Your Highness, since the matter is embarrassing for His Highness, why don't you dare to ask a few questions on behalf of His Highness?"

Baili Jinyi nodded: "Okay."

Xiao Jingran looked at Shen Ninghua, and the muscles in the corners of his eyes trembled involuntarily: "Princess Zhaohua, the azalea is your mother's favorite mark, right?"

Shen Ninghua looked calm, her black eyes were bottomless, with a faint coldness: "Yes, Rhododendron is my mother's favorite flower, but what's the matter? There are many people who know this secret, who knows if it is Someone imitated it? Who can prove that what Xia Fu said is true? Just because my mother likes azaleas, I have to use azaleas as a symbol of the hidden guard? There are probably too many people who will die because of this in the world!"
