As soon as she returned to the capital, Tianxiang was taken into the harem by the emperor to be diagnosed by the imperial doctor who had been waiting for a long time.But Feng Suzhen and others were proclaimed into the "Xuanzheng Palace" and reported to the Ninth Five-Year Lord.

"Zhen, I heard that there should be two people accompanying me to Beijing, so where are they?"

Although she was sitting upright on the chair, Feng Suzhen could clearly see the blue color under the emperor's eyes, which seemed to be closed at any time, and her whole body exuded weakness, not half the majesty of an emperor.

"This matter will also be reported to the royal father. The princess was invaded by evil spirits and fell into a coma. Although the princess was awakened with secret medicine and golden wood, if you want to completely wipe out the evil spirits, you have to use the legendary flower fan. Then The two are branches of the royal family of Ligu, wishing this flower in exchange for their lives, I hope that the princess will recover, and promise them to bring flowers as a tribute at the Dragon Boat Festival."

It was about his daughter, so the elderly emperor got up his spirits, ignored the Marquis Dongfang who was kneeling on the side waiting to question him, and asked Feng Suzhen, "Can you believe what they said? Is my Xiang'er going to sleep until next month?"

"For this reason, my father has to send someone to Liju to order that this year's tribute must be accompanied by a flower. If the king of Liju obeys the order, they will be exempted from paying tribute for five years." Feng Suzhen finished speaking and looked up secretly. Turning to the emperor above, he thought for a while and added, "This is just my son's impatient thoughts. How to make an order, please let the emperor decide."

The aloof emperor looked at Feng Suzhen who was kneeling on the ground with indiscriminate joy and anger.He knew that he was old, and the son who should succeed him had not yet grown into a qualified emperor.Fortunately, he made preparations early, and for the sake of his sons and daughters, he found someone who was willing to display his talents in the court and exchange his blood for the stability of the country.

The love of the parents is far-reaching.

Even if his thoughts were exposed, who could blame him?The prince can't, and Tianxiang can't.

"What Min'er said is reasonable, let's do what Min'er said. Wang Gonggong, go to draw up an order. Today I will send envoys to Liju, and make sure that Shangguan Guojun will bring what I want to me at the Dragon Boat Festival next month. Come to Dacheng Kingdom."

"Yes." The prince who was waiting at the side received the decree and went to the cabinet to ask the cabinet ministers to draft the decree first. When passing by Feng Suzhen, he gave her a wink before leaving in a hurry.

Feng Suzhen didn't know what the relationship between Wang Gonggong and her master was, but now that the master left and didn't explain how to tell Wang Gonggong, it gave her a headache. If Wang Gonggong asked, how would she tell the truth?

However, it didn't make Feng Suzhen a headache for the prince's affairs for too long, the emperor set his sights on Dongfanghou, and asked lightly: "The thirteenth emperor, why do you want to rebel?"

Even though the emperor, who was leaning against the back of the chair and couldn't sit up straight, asked without emotion, Dongfanghou still trembled and prostrated himself on the ground, trembling and unable to answer.

The emperor has already read the "Letter of Guilt" submitted by Feng Suzhen, but he is not willing to believe that the national teacher who said that he can help him become a fairy and live forever has evil intentions and wants things other than his own life. This world.

"Did I treat you badly all these years? Gold, silver, jewels, beauties, fertile fields, I have not spared anything. Sheng'er is your eldest son, and I sent him to the border to make meritorious deeds. After he was transferred back to Beijing, he was also appointed as the commander of the guards with swords in front of the imperial court." You are a family, young and old, and I take care of everything, how can you betray me?" The emperor asked heartbroken.

After Feng Suzhen heard it, she found that the emperor didn't mention the crime of the national teacher. She glanced sideways at Dongfang Hou who dared not refute a word under Longwei, and could only cast her eyes on Dongfang Sheng who stood on the side with a cold face.

Dongfang Sheng was the commander of the guards with swords in front of the imperial court, and he was always with the king to protect the safety of the emperor. In addition, this matter was related to him, so he did not leave the hall, and he did not need to kneel down to listen to the holy voice like Feng Suzhen.

Although Dongfang Sheng was standing on one side and waiting for the emperor to ask questions, but his attention was on Feng Suzhen, so after receiving the signal at the first time, he immediately understood, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "Report Your Majesty, although my father's crimes are unforgivable, you should know my father best. His indifferent and ascetic temperament must not risk his head to do such deceitful things! Please, Your Majesty, see clearly!"

Turning his eyes to Dongfang Sheng who should avoid suspicion at such a moment, the emperor asked softly: "You mean, someone is behind your father's back?"

"Yes! The ministers were assassinated by a group of people in Miaozhou, and now they are still imprisoned in Miaozhou prison, waiting for interrogation by the emperor at any time."

After being silent for a while, the emperor asked Feng Suzhen: "Min'er, do you also think that someone is playing tricks behind your back?"

"Return to father, yes. We have encountered several assassinations in Sichuan. If the crown prince and princess were not protected by real dragons, we might not be able to leave Sichuan."

"Master Xuan Guo."

Feng Suzhen looked at the emperor in shock, but seeing the emperor's eyes closed with a tired face, she sighed inwardly.

Soon the national teacher in a black and white Taoist robe brought Mu Qingxia, Tu Xingsun, and Shui Dayun to the "Xuanzheng Hall". Instead of kneeling down and saluting, he swung his whisk and performed a Taoist salute.

The emperor asked the little eunuch beside him to hand over the "Self-crime Letter" in front of the national teacher, and said in a calm voice: "National teacher, you can plead guilty!"

The national teacher read through several large sheets of paper slowly and carefully, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I dare not admit to these trumped-up crimes."

"Dongfanghou said that you ordered him to do everything, that you wanted to help him sit on the throne, didn't you?"

"Prince, how can Pindao He De help you sit on the throne? Pindao only wants to help the emperor refine the elixir of immortality, so how dare he use the dragon chair? This is too much for Pindao."

When Dongfang Hou heard that the national teacher was going to pick himself off, he shouted excitedly: "How dare you lie! You once said that it was for, for..." If you really want to make this matter clear, Dongfang Hou must He told about the affair between himself and Concubine Ju, and the reason why he was willing to be a national teacher in front of the emperor was to protect Concubine Ju, so he couldn't go on talking halfway through, and turned to look at Feng Suzhen for help.

Ever since the Emperor Xuan Guoshi met, Feng Suzhen knew that the Emperor had no intention of punishing the Guoshi. Even if he presented the evidence of his crimes in front of the Emperor, the Emperor would pretend not to see it.Facing Dongfanghou's request for help, Feng Suzhen could only shake her head slightly, she couldn't wake up an emperor who was pretending to be asleep.

"Why, the prince can't tell?" The national teacher looked at the few people kneeling on the ground contemptuously, "I know that the Yuxian Gang is favored by the emperor and some people are jealous, but I didn't expect that even the prince can't tolerate us. Yes Come on, my son-in-law, tell me, who provoked this prince to slander us in front of the emperor?"

Feng Suzhen turned around and looked at the national teacher and the five guardians who were only three behind him. Seeing that the faces of the three guardians were indeed a little older than what they saw last time, she smiled and asked, "Why do you only see the three guardians?" , where are the other two protectors? Have you been sent by the national teacher to do something?"

Hearing Feng Suzhen ask her protector, the national teacher's expression of winning was twisted hard.In order to ensure the successful killing of the prince, he sent out all the five guardians, but the mission failed, not to mention the loss of two guardians. Most of the people who are alive or dead are more or less fortunate, and it took a lot of money The five right-hand men who had been trained with painstaking efforts, the national teachers, hated secretly. At this time, being mentioned by Feng Suzhen was like adding salt to a wound, and he still couldn't cry out.

"The son-in-law cares so much about the apprentices of the poor son-in-law. When the two return, the poor father will let them go to the son-in-law's mansion to thank the son-in-law for his concern."

"It's easy to say, as long as they can return safely, it's better than anything." Feng Suzhen said with a smile.

The emperor let them talk lively in front of him, as if it had nothing to do with him, and slowly drank the chrysanthemum tea in the cup.

Dongfang Sheng, who personally ordered Jin Kanglong and Jin Kanglong to be executed, sneered and said: "If they have a better way out, I'm afraid they won't come back. The national teacher should choose two more as soon as possible to complete the law of the Dharma. bit."

The national teacher now fully understands that his two protectors really can't come back, and the perpetrators have also been found.He looked at Dongfang Sheng viciously, almost wanting to strangle him to death.The positions of the five great protectors are not decided casually. He spent decades of hard work in order to gather children whose birthday horoscopes match the five elements, and carefully taught the corresponding five elements exercises. It is the backlash of the spell.Originally, he was also looking for someone to take over the Five Elements, but he expected that the five of them could persist for another 20 years, but he didn't think about the Shu and his party, so he directly broke up two, and taught him that the book "Tiangang Disha Five Elements Great Formation" just won't work. Conduct a walkthrough.

"It doesn't bother the general to worry about it. Now, Pindao just asks the prince not to ruin the reputation of Pindao."

"Brother Huang, believe me, he really did it! If you don't believe me, the magistrate of Miaozhou can send the members of the Yuxian Gang who are imprisoned to Beijing, and everything will come to light!" Dongfanghou has admitted his disobedience , if the national teacher cannot be convicted together, then he will be unforgivably guilty!

"My lord, how do you know that the person imprisoned belongs to my Yuxian Gang? Either he is wearing a Taoist robe or he is a disciple of the Yuxian Gang."

"You, you...you are afraid that I will come back and expose your wolfish ambitions to the emperor, so you sent someone to kill me! But this king is not so easy to die, this king must let the emperor see the true face of you, a fake Taoist priest !"

"Okay." Putting the dragon-patterned teacup on the table, the crisp knocking sound prevented several people from blaming each other, and everyone's sincere and fearful expressions satisfied the emperor, "Thirteenth Emperor, I don't care whether you are really deceived or not. Pretending to be deceived by others, treason is an unforgivable and heinous thing! For the sake of you and my mother, you will be deprived of your royal title, your property will be confiscated, your servants will be dismissed, you will be demoted to common people, and you will be exiled to Lingnan. One step into the capital!"

This result was expected by Feng Suzhen, but the national teacher's face was ugly, and he never thought that the cruel emperor would spare Dongfang Hou's life.

Dongfang Hou, who saved his life, did not dare to raise objections, and sat on the ground slumped, not knowing what was going on in his heart.

The emperor went through the faces of several people, and when he saw Dongfang Sheng, he said: "Dongfang Sheng was able to kill his relatives this time, and he was not deceived by the Marquis of the Dongfang. If you are involved in one case, another mansion will be opened as a mansion."

Dongfang Sheng thanked Long En in surprise.Although he has the title of general, the miscellaneous generals that everyone knows don't have an orthodox title. Now that the emperor bestows on him "loyalty and bravery", no one will dare to laugh at him in the future. Although he is weaker than the title of "little prince" A little bit, but I can't inherit the title of "Prince", at most I can be a Marquis, far less powerful than "General Zhongyong".

"You all go down, Min'er stay." The emperor rubbed his browbones, thinking of Tianxiang's strength in hammering his shoulders and kneading his acupoints to please him.

Dongfang Sheng glanced at Feng Suzhen worriedly, Feng Suzhen smiled at him, indicating that it was okay.Dongfang Sheng stood up, supported Dongfang Hou who seemed to have lost all his energy, and bid farewell to the emperor.

The national teacher coldly glanced at Feng Suzhen, who was kneeling on the ground, and cast a careful glance at the superior emperor, and then asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, today's elixir has been refined, do you want to take it now or later? "

Hearing the word "elixir", the emperor's eyes lit up unbearably, and then he thought of something, and said lightly: "You put it down first."

The national teacher threw the elixir into the hands of the little eunuch who came to receive it, snorted lightly, and did not bid farewell to the emperor, but turned around and left with the three guardians.

Surprised, Feng Suzhen turned to look at the national teacher, and saw that the emperor was not angry at being disobedient, and suddenly realized that she had really underestimated the emperor's desire for immortality, and how she could indulge that evil person to such an extent.

"Min'er, you get up first." Only Feng Suzhen was left behind, and the emperor seemed to remember calling Feng Suzhen to get up.

Feng Suzhen got up after thanking her, and stood respectfully, without a trace of impatience.

"I left you here alone because I wanted to ask you, is there any solid evidence for what the Marquis of Dongfang said?"

A series of accidents made Feng Suzhen understand the wise saying "Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger". However, in the face of such an unpredictable emperor, as a courtier, one should not pretend to be smart and try to guess the king's will.The easiest way should be to speak straight, so that the emperor can see through the truth and falsehood of his courtiers at a glance.

"My lord... no, what the Marquis of Dongfang said was all seen by my son and minister. The national teacher is greedy and scornful. If it is obvious, the father must guard against it."

The aged emperor looked thoughtfully at the "elixir" on the table, and after a long while, he sneered and said, "I am the emperor of the real dragon, greedy for wolves and tigers? Overestimated."
