The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 309 Xue Ning, do you want to rebel?

"I believe he has his own methods, and you have yours."

He Songning was stunned. He didn't know whether he should let out the breath he was holding in his chest.

"I never hate smart people, but it depends on what they ask for. If I am willing to give it, I will tolerate his cleverness. If I am not willing to give it..."

Emperor Liang De's tone turned cold: "Then his snooping and planning are all contempt and offense to the imperial power."

He Songning closed his mouth.

That being the case...it's useless to argue.

Rather than whether he was innocent or not, the emperor cared more about his ambition and the ability he showed in various incidents.

The assassination in the palace showed the emperor his ability to install people in the palace.

The Yuanqiu assassination showed the emperor his ability to place people in the army.

Even if you don't mention the other scapegoats... these two alone are enough to make the emperor fear him.

"I'm so disappointed." Emperor Liang pursed his lips, his tense facial features revealing his majesty.

He Songning lowered his head and showed no reaction.

The hall was extremely quiet, so quiet that even a gust of wind could be heard clearly.

Xue Qingyin unconsciously tightened the cushion under her body. Is He Songning going to suddenly commit murder?

You must know that in the original work, the emperor never denounced He Songning's ambition so bluntly.

"You don't have anything to say in defense?" Liang Dedi frowned.

"I don't have that," He Songning said in a harsh tone.

What he said the most from beginning to end were these three words.

"Then what do you think I should do with you?" Emperor Liang De asked the question to He Songning.

He Songning kowtowed to the ground, his heart as gray as ashes: "Be removed from his official position and imprisoned in prison."

Xue Qingyin looked at him in surprise. Not crazy?

"You rescued me in front of so many people. If I reduce your official position and imprison you, wouldn't it be suspicious?" After Emperor Liang De finished speaking, he ordered the guards on the side: "Take the person down. , I want him to write a list.”

What the list is obvious.

That's what Emperor Liang De said just now. Who are He Songning's people inside and outside the palace?

The guards obeyed the order and went up to arrest the people.

He Songning did not struggle or resist, and kowtowed again: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was grabbed by the guards and taken away.

"Is this... the end?" Xue Qingyin's tone was full of disbelief.

"A hundred times better than King Wei." Emperor Liang De said in a low voice, "He is capable of bending and stretching. He is a character."

What?

Is this appreciated again?

Fortunately, what Xue Qingyin was worried about did not happen.

"It takes some effort to deal with it." Emperor Liang De sighed softly.

Xue Qingyin asked angrily: "Then what should I do?"

"If there is no He Songning, there are others." After Emperor Liang De said, he ordered the palace people: "Bring some hot water for the princess to drink."

Xue Qingyin was speechless.

You really don't forget your original intention. Anyway, King Xuan will kill him even if he is determined, right?

He Songning was taken to a side hall.

The imperial guard placed pen, ink, paper and inkstones for him, and said in a cold tone: "Please."

"Wait a minute." Another person said, "Aren't you going to search me?"

The guard guarding the table hesitated for a moment: "Your Majesty didn't say... go and ask for instructions."

"Let him search it first and then let him write it, so as not to waste time."

"But what is his identity..."

Neither of them could convince the other, and the person who asked for a body search didn't care about the number of people who asked for a body search. He stepped forward with a cold face, bowed slightly and said, "I have offended Mr. Xue."

After saying that, he reached out and took out He Songning's chest first.

"Pfft" sounded.

The dagger plunged into the man's chest.

The other guards' expressions changed in shock: "Bold Xue Ning! Are you going to rebel?"

"Rebellion? Rebellion. Rebellion..." He Songning repeated these two words on the tip of his tongue.

He smiled, grabbed the dagger and stood up: "My name is He Songning, not Xue Ning."

The person who first laid paper and polished ink for him slowly turned around with him.

This man supported the guard who was stabbed by He Songning, took out the waist badge and waist knife from his colleague, and handed them to He Songning.

Don't other people understand?

"Kou Zhengming! How dare you betray His Majesty and associate with the traitor!"

They all drew their swords and rushed forward.

Others rushed out to mobilize troops and report to the emperor.

Here Xue Qingyin was sitting under the eaves, drinking hot water slowly.

Emperor Liang De asked: "Do you need more food?"

Xue Qingyin shook her head: "It's off-putting."

Emperor Liang De asked funnyly: "Did the words I just said to He Songning make you unhappy?"

Xue Qingyin pursed her lips and remained silent.

"I'm just telling him."

"oh."

Before Emperor Liang De could say anything, the chamberlain ran in with a changed expression: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xue killed the guards and ran away! There were two of his men among the guards, and they ran away together!"

Xue Qingyin: "..."

Emperor Liang De frowned, but quickly relaxed: "I know, I will immediately order the Longwu Army to search the entire palace."

Following closely behind the chamberlain was the leader of the imperial guards. He entered the door, knelt down, and finished in one go.

But before he could plead guilty, he heard Emperor Liang De's order and was shocked: "Your Majesty, when we were in Yuanqiu, didn't we already discover that there were assassins in the Longwu Army? Why did Your Majesty allow them to search Xue Ning?" "

Emperor Liang De said calmly: "It's time to catch a few more silverfish. How can it be so easy to let him escape? If anyone wants to make meritorious deeds, this is the only chance."

"Your Majesty, your Majesty!" The leader of the guards breathed a sigh of relief.

The emperor's calmness also made their panicked hearts find a fulcrum.

But this was not over yet. Emperor Liang De quickly issued another order: "Send an order to King Xuan to immediately lead the Xuanjia Guards to guard the perimeter. Xue Ning must not be allowed to leave the vicinity of Yuanqiu."

Xue Qingyin looked at him in surprise.

This dog emperor is indeed quite capable...

Even if King Xuan only wanted to take revenge on his wife, he would definitely not let He Songning go.

They wanted He Songning to fight with the emperor, so the emperor asked King Xuan and He Songning to fight, right?

Xue Qingyin was so angry that her teeth itched, they were all old foxes!

"Xue Ning ordered the assassins in the front and the guards in the rear to rise up and kill them. He might have the intention of treason. Immediately give the order to arrest everyone in the Xue family and send them to prison." Emperor Liang De said immediately.

This will... wipe out the Xue family in one fell swoop?

Xue Qingyin couldn't help but admire it.

You are so damn cruel and capable...

Take down the Xue family first, and completely tie He Songning's identity to the Xue family.

He Songning really could not get the recognition of Emperor Liang De even if he died.

After Emperor Liang De gave the order, he turned back and glanced at Xue Qingyin: "Qingyin is reluctant to give up?"

Xue Qingyin pouted: "How can I not give up?"

Emperor Liang De nodded: "Yes, I think so. The Xue family has always been mean to you mother and daughter. Do you wish they would die?"

Xue Qingyin snorted angrily: "You said my heart is so vicious?"

"Then you want to plead for them?"

"I'm only worried about myself. Who calls me Xue?"

Emperor Liang De sighed: "Yes, but he made such a big mistake, and it is inevitable that the Xue family will be implicated. And although your mother has reconciled with the Xue family, you are still considered a Xue family. The blood relationship cannot be broken."

Emperor Liang De looked up at the falling snowflakes in the sky.

He pondered for a moment and said: "I will think of a way for you, what do you think?"

Naturally, the emperor is not so kind...

Xue Qingyin held her breath.

She could clearly see that his favor was always based on his every step of calculation.

"Just say that when Xue Ning left, he killed Princess Xuan. In this way, you can change your identity. From now on, what relationship does the Xue family have with you?"

Xue Qingyin's heart trembled and her breathing became lighter.

She had always known that the emperor was difficult to deal with.

But I didn't expect it to be so difficult to deal with.

He not only wanted to remove He Songning, but also wanted to kill King Xuan.

This is a waste of time.

If such news spreads as he said, what will happen to King Xuan?

Will he go crazy like the original?

"Is this why Your Majesty brought me to offer sacrifices?" Xue Qingyin asked.

"Don't look at me like that." Emperor Liang De paused for a moment and said, "My son likes you anyway, so it doesn't matter. What do you think of the Seventh Prince?"
