Your Majesty the Empress, I am really not a traitor!

"Fortunately, the strength of his hand is really strong. For a moment, I really felt that he would strangle me to death."

"I also feel the same way. If you don't stop, the minister may resist the order. Your Majesty, if you do this, can the minister be understood as connivance?"

"For the sake of the overall situation," Xia Yuxiao smiled wryly, "I said that I am very rational, but I am still angry. If this powder barrel can be calmed down, this method is the most economical."

Chapter 46 Subsequent processing

Regarding this matter, Xia Yuxiao really couldn't argue with Qin Ji, because Qin Ji was right, and she really acted arbitrarily this time.

However, if she had to deal with Lingyan again, she would still do it, otherwise, she would be sorry for her position.

So she chose to let Qin Ji in ahead of time, and came to Chunning Palace ahead of time, controlling everything to the extent of private settlement.In this way, even if the scene just happened, it is not a big problem. Anyway, as long as there is no conflict in the court, then this matter can hopefully be suppressed.

Of course, the disadvantage of dealing with this matter in private is that facing the angry Qin Ji, she is likely to be in danger.

Xia Yuxiao was willing to let Qin Ji get angry a little bit, but letting the other party vent his anger properly didn't mean risking his life.If Qin Ji didn't let go just now but was going to really strangle her to death, then maybe he would have to use some tricks.

She believed in Qin Ji. Even in that state, he would not kill people easily.Rather than trusting his reason, it would be better to say that most of the normal-spirited people who have come down from the battlefield are able to control their movements.

Xia Yuxiao has never actually fought on the battlefield, but she has seen many such people.

"Next, what are your plans, Your Majesty?"

the voice asked.

"Check," Xia Yuxiao said, "it is certain that this matter is more or less related to the remnants of the Demon Cult, but it is not clear where it is involved. At least, there must be someone in the court who belongs to them." people."

"Don't you think there are too many ghosts in the court?"

"Strictly speaking, there have never been fewer ghosts in the imperial court," she drank the tea she had just brewed, and then continued, "The stall my father left for me was a vast territory and foreign enemies surrendered, but the internal affairs were all the same. kind of..."

To put it bluntly, it is called urgent rectification, but to put it bluntly, it is a mess.

In fact, the first emperor didn't have the energy to rectify his internal affairs. The long-term foreign wars diverted the contradictions, and at the same time, many generals rose to power, and many famous families continued to expand their power.In the later stage, in order to promote the integration of various ethnic groups, the communication between each other was strengthened, which inevitably led to the entry of many people with ulterior motives.

The greatest help the late emperor gave her in internal affairs was to leave a Duke An for her. Although the matter of using a powerful minister to suppress his ministers is strictly speaking a bit like driving away tigers and wolves, at least it can make Daxia Go through the power transfer phase smoothly.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, with someone like His Majesty around, Daxia will not be in trouble." The voice said very solemnly.

"You believe in me, so I have to believe in myself..." She gave a wry smile, then stood up, "Okay, I'll go see Siyue."

Seeing that the day of the big wedding is coming, she has to deal with such a thing at this time.

Therefore, breaking through from Qin Siyue's point of view may be the best way.At the same time, she must also make the detection of the whole incident faster. The best way to let Qin Ji let go of his guard is to find out who caused everything. Although she did order the mobilization of troops to surround and kill Lingyan, everything The origin comes from these abnormal movements of the Devil's Cult, as well as the letters sent directly to Lingyan.

Now that Lingyan has returned, as long as Qin Ji is kept steady, then Lingyan will naturally be under his control.Originally, the reason to deal with Lingyan before was because she was too far away from him, out of his surveillance and control, and posed a great threat to Qin Ji.But now that she was right under his nose, Xia Yuxiao naturally didn't need to take such extreme measures.

"Song Jingqing."

Xia Yuxiao called out.

"The minister is here."

Song Jingqing came in from the door.

"How many Dragon Guards are still free?"

"Not much more, Your Majesty, we must guard against the Taiwei's people."

"Call some of them back, and he won't take any drastic actions. Now you take some people out and stare at Lingyan." Xia Yuxiao said. "There is no need to control her, just make sure that she is under our surveillance. Then, some people from the forbidden army will be recruited to help the previous group of people find out who is writing to Lingyan. What happened to Lingyan's replies."

There is relatively plenty of time, so naturally there will be more to deal with.

"Yes. But Your Majesty, the Taiwei..."

"I will take care of the Taiwei. Besides," she turned her head to look at "air" over there, "you go and call some celestial masters who are good at healing to help Lingyan heal. You don't need to tell Qin Ji who it is The person who sent you there should go to her master at that time, so that it will be easy to handle. Her hand is broken, can you connect it?"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, even if you can't find the severed hand, I can still create one. However, if you consider the future development space of Master Ling, I still suggest that after dealing with her injuries, it is best to You can go directly to the top puppeteer from the west to buy a prosthesis."

"You are also heavenly masters after all, are you so unconfident in your healing ability?"

"It's not that I'm not confident, Your Majesty," the voice in the air said seriously, "it's just that treatment is treatment after all, and even if I have the ability to recreate a hand, it can only achieve infinitely similar appearance and daily functions. It is enough for ordinary people. But for this child, after all, it is still a bit worse. And in this respect, the top puppeteers are better at it."

"Okay, do as you said, choose the best one, use my own money, and don't touch the treasury."

After Xia Yuxiao finished speaking, she left the room.

.............................

Beside the bed, several experienced imperial doctors stood up.

"How is it?" Qin Ji asked hastily.

He knew that Lingyan's injuries were serious, but he didn't specialize in treating diseases and saving lives, so he didn't know how serious it was.

"She was seriously injured. In fact, the injury of the severed hand is not a big deal-although it is incomplete, but if it is dealt with in time, it will kill you. The biggest problem is the penetrating injury. The internal organs are injured. The bigger problem is , and many of her meridians are completely messed up."

After the imperial doctor made the diagnosis, he gave such a result.

The military doctor's method is indeed clever enough, otherwise she would not be able to persist in Tai'an City.But now, after consulting with many imperial physicians in Daxia, they came to the conclusion: It can be saved, but not completely. It can be saved, but the quality of life in the future will not be certain.

"Taiwei, I think you should tell your majesty about this matter. Sometimes, only your majesty can use some unconventional means. This is medicine. If you haven't made up your mind, use this , at least saving her life is not a big problem. In addition, don’t pull out the silver needles inserted in her body, just pull out after these medicines are prescribed.”

"Thank you very much." Qin Ji was stunned for a moment, then said.

By the way, he handed a stack of gold coins to the imperial doctors.

"You don't have to thank me, Taiwei, I can only do this."

The old imperial doctor sighed and left the room.

Chapter 47 Expert Consultation

Qin Siyue stood in front of the bed, looking at Qin Ji's current state.

"Brother, how about I go talk to her?"

Since Xia Yuxiao's power still needs to be used now, Qin Siyue thought about it carefully, and it would be better to come forward by herself.If Qin Ji and Xia Yuxiao were to explain to each other at this time, they might be planning to copy someone to fight.

She can see that Qin Ji is not calm now, especially after knowing the specific condition of Lingyan's injury, this impulsive energy can easily mess up the matter. want.

"I'm sorry to trouble you... By the way, I'll send some people to follow you, put on this jade pendant, and remember, call me immediately if you are in danger."

Qin Ji had no choice but to warn her that this is an extraordinary period, and he couldn't guarantee that the other party would not make a fuss about Qin Siyue's personal safety.Besides...Xia Yuxiao has a backhand.

There is only one younger sister, and she is also his own sister who came to this world with him, so he doesn't want to lose it like this.

"Don't worry, she probably won't try to harm me now."

Under the current situation, Lingyan is already very dangerous. Qin Siyue is almost equivalent to a nuclear bomb to Qin Ji at this time. This nuclear bomb can indeed be used to deter Qin Ji's behavior.However, while deterring, Xia Yuxiao also had to consider whether Qin Ji would be forced to take risks by this deterrence.

So there is a high probability that she will not really have Qin Siyue's idea - especially now that Qin Ji has returned.

But at this moment, in various places in the palace, undercurrents are quietly flowing.

Weixing, Li Shijing and other generals only knew about this matter now, and they didn't hesitate too much. They knew that this matter was originally Xia Yuxiao's own decision.And some ministers in the court also found out some rumors through these actions in the palace. Suddenly, the seemingly stable court began to gradually show a tendency to stand in line.

Some officials began to choose to stand on Xia Yuxiao's side. Some of them secretly mobilized private soldiers and prepared a joint letter.Some decided to use the convenience of their positions to cut off the logistics supply of the army controlled by Qin Ji.

At the same time, the dragon guards were also secretly exchanging information, and they were constantly trying to communicate with the troops stationed in Tai'an City first.Although this was not Xia Yuxiao's order, the dragon guards can't care so much now.

On Qin Ji's side, a similar situation also occurred.

Qin Ji himself had his own eyeliner among the dragon guards. After hearing the news, he immediately asked the scale guards around him to arrange it while taking care of Lingyan, and controlled the army with his own orders.At the same time, those ministers and generals who had a good relationship with him in the court also began to prepare. Some sent servants to scout for news, and some were ready to use private soldiers and dead soldiers.

The consultant Cheng, who was still working hard outside, knew nothing about it.Does he know that it is useless, and it won't be long before someone will take the initiative to find him.

Qin Ji also noticed the movements of the black armored cavalry around Daxia.Obviously, Xia Yuxiao had made full preparations. Although she had never used this black armored cavalry to threaten her openly, there was no doubt that Xia Yuxiao had prepared for the worst.

All of a sudden, the city of Tai'an was turbulent.

However, in such a tense situation outside, the palace is surprisingly calm.

This place is like the eye of the storm.The undercurrent of the outside world is surging, but it seems particularly peaceful here, Qin Ji quietly guards Lingyan's side, while Qin Siyue and Xia Yuxiao are whispering something in the study.

Prime Minister Long came several times hoping to make peace between the two of them, but both sides politely declined.The helpless old man had no choice but to go outside the palace to stabilize the situation—he, the prime minister, might not have that much say in front of the emperor and the Taiwei, but not in front of the officials.

Qin Ji waited for a long time before he heard the knock on the bedroom door.

"Who?"

"it's me."

Xia Yuxiao's voice.

"Sorry, Your Majesty, I may hurt Your Majesty now, you should leave first." Qin Ji said.

"I brought someone here, from the Tianshi Mansion."

Xia Yuxiao knew that he didn't want to see her, so she found everyone in advance.

The door was opened.

"Please."

Qin Ji made an invitation gesture, and at the same time saw the "Heavenly Master" standing behind Xia Yuxiao.

It was still the familiar attire of the Celestial Master's Mansion. Thanks to his status as a Taiwei, Qin Ji could occasionally see a Celestial Master that ordinary people would never get in touch with.But no matter what, it was really unexpected for him to let the celestial master come to treat him.Not to mention that it wasn't him who was being treated.

Let alone three people.

"Time is running out, and her injury is serious, so you should deal with it as soon as possible."

After Xia Yuxiao gave the order, one of the female celestial masters nodded and walked in front of Lingyan.

"Captain, isn't it? We don't seem to have seen it before," the female celestial master smiled and put a hand on Lingyan's head at the same time, "But I think you should have heard of my reputation. , you can just call me Ling Tianshi.”

"Master Ling... are you her master?"

Qin Ji had heard about it a long time ago. Before Lingyan came to the Qin family, she learned something from several celestial masters. Among them, she was valued by a celestial master and sent her to be the same as that celestial master. last name.

"Not counting as a master, Lingyan is not qualified to be my disciple strictly speaking, and those who can become my disciples are now in the Tianshi Mansion."

The smile on Ling Tianshi's face is very sweet, ignoring her identity, she gives people the feeling of a quirky little girl.

However, Qin Ji knew that what she said was true.

The selection requirements of the Heavenly Master's Mansion are extremely high. The so-called "Tianshi's disciples" are actually the apprentices accepted by the Heavenly Masters. Just becoming a Heavenly Master's disciple is already an extremely terrifying height among the profound practitioners of the Great Xia.

And Lingyan was "not even qualified to be a disciple" in her mouth.

Ignoring Qin Ji's reaction, Master Ling lowered his head and muttered to himself:

"The meridian is misaligned... this one is broken... four of them are burned..."
