The general went out again at night + extra episode

"I can't figure it out either. General Xia has already entered the game and is tightly entangled. Only by breaking through the two assassins can we turn the tables. If Your Highness is worried about General Xia, go to the Golden Palace to have a look. If Xia The general has been suppressed too badly, and we can save him in time."

Ji Qianyao shook his head: "It's really inconvenient for me to go." Then, a smile rose on her lips: "And it was Xia Qingshu who didn't want those two assassins herself, and she said it very confidently. I believe she has a way."

"General Xia is good at martial arts, but he is not a man of few plans. He must have a way of counterattack that neither we nor the Zhao family can guess."

"Yeah." Ji Qianyao continued to walk towards the pavilion in the garden: "However, you still ask your subordinates to keep an eye on her. If she can't resist Zhao Yanyuan's means, I can protect her in time."

"Yes."

Fengxian Hall.

"Your Majesty, General Xia is here." Jin Yiwei replied.

"Okay, bring her up." Emperor Hongsu said with a livid face.

"Minister, Xia Qingshu, greet Your Majesty, Your Majesty's Holy Ann." Xia Qingshu didn't show any trace of fear on his face, and was very calm.

Emperor Hongsu shouted loudly: "General Xia, you are so courageous!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I don't know what mistake Qing Shu made to make Long Yan furious?" Xia Qingshu kowtowed again, wondering.

"See for yourself!"

Emperor Hongsu slammed Xia Qingshu's indictment in front of her.

Xia Qingshu picked it up calmly, and said, "Yes." Then, holding the indictment in his hands, he carefully read it word by word.

After a cup of tea, the emperor's cold voice came: "Xia Qing, can you plead guilty?"

Xia Qingshu closed the crime statement: "None of the criminal evidence listed in this book is true, please learn from your Majesty."

"There are all the witnesses and material evidence, and General Xia still wants to argue?" Emperor Hongsu showed a disappointed look on his face.

"It's not the minister's actions, the words are not true, how can the minister recognize it?"

"you!"

"Your Majesty calm down and ask the old minister to confront General Xia." Zhao Yanyuan who was sitting silently by the side suddenly got up and said.

"Yes." Emperor Hongsu glanced at him and nodded.

"Your Majesty, have a sip of tea." Deng Li smiled and brought the cup of tea, the emperor took it and took two sips.

Zhao Yanyuan leaned on crutches and walked in front of Xia Qingshu, looking down at her with a half-smile on his lips: "I have a few questions, General Xia, please answer them truthfully."

"Excuse me, Mr. Ge." Xia Qingshu said neither humble nor overbearing.

"When my grandson moved to Tianfu, there was a statement of guilt, in which Zhao Xuexin was charged with ten crimes including robbing civilian women, harming property and killing life, but you wrote it?"

"Yes."

"May I ask General Xia again, is Qu Yong your servant?"

"Yes."

"Then, can General Xia recognize this chapter? Is it the chapter of General Fuyuan's Mansion?" Zhao Yanyuan handed her the half-burned cloth, and finally said emphatically: "Your Majesty, General Xia, please answer truthfully. If it is not true, This is the crime of deceiving the king."

Xia Qingshu glanced at her and nodded, "Yes."

"Then today is the fifth day, has General Xia caught the assassin?"

"No." Xia Qingshu replied truthfully, without a trace of expression on her face.

"I heard that most of General Xia spent the past five days planting flowers and amusing birds in the mansion, but is it true?"

Xia Qingshu raised her eyebrows slightly, without hesitation, she directly admitted: "Yes."

"Your Majesty, I have finished asking the old minister's questions, and General Xia has pleaded guilty. Your Majesty, please make the decision for the old minister!" Zhao Yanyuan knelt down and kowtowed.When he fell to the ground, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and there was already a little light of victory in him.

Emperor Hongsu was heartbroken, with a look of disappointment on his face: "General Xia, I trust you so much, yet you ignore the king's law, what else can you say?"

Xia Qingshu's mouth curled into a strange smile, and he said slowly: "Your Majesty, I still have something to say. I really don't understand, but I just answered a few questions from Mr. Zhao Ge. Why are you guilty?"

"Then let the old minister explain in more detail." Zhao Yanyuan stood up suddenly, pointed at Xia Qingshu's face and said, "General Xia used his power to fabricate evidence to harm my grandson Zhao Xuexin. This is a crime. Hiring assassins to assassinate important court officials My son, this is the second crime. Spreading rumors and framing the ministers is the third crime. Negligence of duty and deceiving the Holy Majesty is the fourth crime. General Xia, I don’t know when the old minister offended you, but he was framed by you like this? Fortunately, Your Majesty is wise , uncovered the truth of the matter, and returned the old man's innocence. General Xia should plead guilty earlier, and the old man will intercede with His Majesty and deal with it leniently."

"Xia Qing, do you still have something to talk to?" Emperor Hong Su's patience had reached its limit.

Xia Qingshu blinked, but still insisted on her words: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged. I have never done a single thing that Mr. Zhao Ge said. Mr. Zhao Ge's case is as solid as a mountain. Coincidentally, I have such strong evidence here as well." , each of which can prove the innocence of the minister, please be aware of it, Your Majesty."

Emperor Hongsu was startled, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.Zhao Yanyuan's expression also changed slightly, and he hurriedly reprimanded: "General Xia, it's already this time, you still dare to play tricks in front of His Majesty!"

Xia Qingshu looked up at her, with a provocative smile on the corner of his mouth: "Why? Elder Zhao Ge still won't let me produce evidence to prove my innocence? Do you have to be able to cover it all with one word from Elder Zhao Ge?"

Emperor Hongsu looked at Xia Qingshu who was kneeling upright, and thought for a long time.General Fuyuan regained Yunnan, defended the northern border, and made great achievements in battle. If he doesn't investigate clearly, he, the emperor, will definitely be criticized by the Li people.
