I have a role in the heavens

"Fortunately, you don't have a fever, but why is your face so red?" Guo Baokun looked at Si Lili with some confusion and asked in confusion.

Si Lili didn't answer when he heard this, his face became even more rosy, and the embarrassment was about to be transferred.

"Ah!" Guo Baokun suddenly came to his senses and understood the truth of the matter. He did not expect that he would make such a joke. It turned out that Si Lili blushed because of shyness. Guo Baokun quickly stood up and distanced himself, not wanting Si Lili to blush. After explaining the misunderstanding, the expression on his face became calm again, pretending to be nonchalant.

Si Lili looked at Guo Baokun who was hiding far away, his face instantly turned pale, the light in his eyes dimmed, his whole person's energy disappeared, and his whole figure seemed to have fallen into an abyss.

Si Lili was so sad that he clenched his right hand tightly, forgetting for a moment that his finger was injured, and couldn't help but let out a cry of pain, "Yeah!"

Guo Baokun rushed forward, held Si Lili's arm, and put Si Lili's right hand in front of his eyes to observe carefully. He was relieved when he saw that there was nothing serious.

Seeing Guo Baokun's actions, Si Lili felt hope rise in his heart. It turned out that he was not as heartless and indifferent as he appeared, and he was just pretending to be nonchalant.

Time passed slowly as everyone waited, until the sun rose to the sky, and then there was a sound of footsteps.

Eunuch Hou walked towards the crowd with small steps.

"Your Majesty has decreed that Teng Zijing's deceitful death is actually a holy will. No further trial is needed. In addition, His Majesty the Crown Prince, His Majesty the Second Prince, Guo Xueshi, Fan Xian and Lord Mei are ordered to enter the palace to see him." Eunuch Hou stood in the center of the hall and announced the decree loudly, The sound is crisp and bright.

"Everyone, please come!" Eunuch Hou turned sideways and waved his right hand, beckoning everyone to enter the palace.

"Let's go, everyone!!!" Guo Baokun stood up and walked out first. He just wanted to leave Si Lili as soon as possible. He also noticed something was wrong with Si Lili and did not dare to provoke her to avoid incurring emotional debt.

At this time, the Crown Prince, the Second Prince and Mei Zhili stood up with livid faces and walked out of the hall. They all felt uneasy in their hearts, especially Mei Zhili. They must know that the Crown Prince and the Second Prince are the children of Emperor Qing. , at most he would receive some reprimand, but that was not necessarily the case for Mei Zhili.

Fan Xian was mostly curious. The Teng Zijing matter had been resolved, so there was nothing to worry about. Although he didn't know why Emperor Qing would do this, Fan Xian still wanted to see Emperor Qing. After all, what happened to him now All because Emperor Qing wanted to put himself in charge of the inner treasury.

. . . . . . .

Qianqing Palace is the residence of Emperor Qing. Guo Baokun has been here countless times, but this is indeed the first time for Fan Xian. He is a little nervous. After all, Emperor Qing, as the master and controller of Qing Kingdom, controls countless destinies, which naturally includes Everyone in the crowd except Guo Baokun, so Fan Xian's nervousness is understandable.

"Please wait here, Lord Mei, for your Majesty's summons!" Eunuch Hou stopped everyone, announced the order of summons for Emperor Qing, and asked others to wait outside.

"I obey the order!" Mei Zhili looked panicked and turned pale. Maybe he was really going to end this time. No one present had spent more time with Emperor Qing than Mei Zhili. When he was a minor in Qiandi, Mei Zhili was an aide in Emperor Qing's palace. He witnessed with his own eyes the rise of Emperor Qing and the growth of Qing's kingdom. It was this feeling of affection in times of dissatisfaction that made Mei Zhili Li rose all the way up and became the governor of Kyoto. Although Mei Zhili had the ability to do this, what was indispensable was Emperor Qing's promotion and appreciation. The more he understood, the more Mei Zhili respected Emperor Qing. So this time he violated the emperor's taboo and got involved in the prince's fight for the heir, which was a kind of betrayal to Emperor Qing, and Emperor Qing would never tolerate him.

"After I return home, I will slip and fall into a well, and unfortunately die. Please have mercy on Your Majesty!" Mei Zhili tremblingly knelt down on the ground, begging Emperor Qing to give him the last dignity.

"I remember that Aiqing loves honey water the most. I specially asked someone to make a cup for you. Drink it quickly!" Emperor Qing helped the frightened Mei Zhili up, sat her down on the bench, and stretched out his hand. He handed a glass of water on the table to Mei Zhili.

"My, I obey your decree!" Mei Zhili had already guessed his ending. Looking at the cup of honey in front of him, his life might end here. Mei Zhili took the cup of honey with trembling hands. Water, my favorite before, has now become my life-threatening poison. The cause and effect are really unpredictable.

Mei Zhili gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and swallowed the water in one gulp. A hint of sweetness filled his mouth. However, because he drank too much water, he choked on his throat. He coughed involuntarily, and his face turned red from holding back.

Emperor Qing reached out and patted Mei Zhili's back to help him calm down.

"Drink slowly, Aiqing is still so impatient, as if I were still alive, so I can't wait to help the prince!" Although Emperor Qing's movements were gentle, his words frightened Mei Zhili to stop coughing and remain motionless. Sweat kept coming out.

"I deserve to die, I deserve to die for my crime!" Mei Zhili reacted, slipped and fell to his knees, his forehead kept hitting the ground, and his body was trembling.

"Ten thousand deaths? People only have one life, how can they come from ten thousand deaths?" Emperor Qing seemed to be questioning, or talking to himself.

"Well, you are an old man too. You can pack up and go back to your hometown tomorrow to take care of your old age and live up to the love of our king and ministers!" Emperor Qing waved Mei Zhili to stand up and leave.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!!!" Mei Zhili cried with joy, kowtowed three times, and then left with staggering steps.

"Mei Zhili, it's a pity that Mei Zhili resigned from office and was robbed and killed by bandits on his way back to his hometown. Unfortunately, he died!" Emperor Qing sat on the steps, beckoned Eunuch Hou to come forward, and asked Eunuch Hou to deliver the edict.

"Here!" Eunuch Hou understood that Emperor Qing wanted people from the Inspection Institute to intercept and kill Mei Zhili. Why did he directly kill Mei Zhili? It was because it was not good for Emperor Qing's reputation. Emperor Qing didn't want to end up with a mean person. The image of En is, after all, a veteran minister for many years.

"Your Majesty, I want to ask for a favor and let Lord Mei enjoy his old age in peace!" At this time, Guo Baokun heard the voices in the palace outside. He ignored everyone's shock and entered Emperor Qing's room without being summoned, and disappeared in the corridor.

"Is Guo Baokun so awesome????" Fan Xian was extremely confused and unconsciously asked the prince next to him.

"What kind of cow????" The prince didn't understand how Guo Baokun could be related to Niu Neng. Fan Xian asked with confused eyes.

"It's okay, I asked the wrong question!" Fan Xian remembered this time that other people didn't understand the meaning of cow at all.

"I knew it was you, and you were the only one who had the courage to break into my palace without permission!" Emperor Qing waved his hand to Eunuch Hou who was blocking his way, and looked at Guo Baokun and teased.
