After Zhou Zhao waited for Qin Ke to leave, he began to deal with his own court affairs.

This day Zhou Zhao was in the palace, and someone called him into the palace.

Before Zhou Zhao set off, 666 was still very worried about Zhou Zhao's situation. It said to Zhou Zhao: "Host, I saw with my heavenly eyes that Xiao Yanliao and the prince are also there. They already have the evidence in their hands. Yelu Chongde exposed you."

Zhou Zhao nodded, but he was neither surprised nor worried, and went steadily to the palace.

"Are you still going?" 666 asked anxiously.

"Of course I'm going." Zhou Zhao said with a faint smile, "There will be a good show there."

When Zhou Zhao arrived in the palace, he saw Xiao Yanliao there.

"Chong Ye, are you here?" Yelu Chongde said, he was ill, leaning on the couch, looking sick at the moment, with a very bad complexion.

This generation of heroes who used to be golden and iron horses in their prime of life finally showed their old age at this moment.

Zhou Zhao saluted lazily, looked at Yelu Chongde again, and asked, "Brother Huang called the ministers here. What's the matter?"

Xiao Yanliao said with a smile: "It was the old minister who offended, because there is a puzzle that is really difficult to solve, so I have to ask the prince to come and have a look."

Zhou Zhao sneered, looking a little impatient, "Oh? Prime Minister Xiao is just talking about the problem."

Xiao Yanliao smiled and said: "The old minister found a kind of medicinal powder in His Majesty's previous meal. That kind of medicinal powder is not harmful, so it can escape the inspection. But that medicinal powder is harmful if eaten all year round. Because there is no The color is tasteless, and the toxicity is extremely high. It will take years and months, so it can escape the poison of the people who test the vegetables. The old minister found out before that the medicinal ingredients necessary to make that kind of medicine powder are extremely rare, and the prince..."

"Nonsense!" Zhou Zhao's eyes sharpened, and he reprimanded: "Prime Minister Xiao knows how serious the crime of treason is, and how dare he speak such nonsense and slander this king."

Xiao Yanliao immediately knelt down on the ground, Yelu Chongye would still be a little scared when he was furious, but considering that the princess was already able to use this kind of secret as a threat at that time, it must be a certainty that Yelu Chongye would prescribe medicine.

At that time, Yelu Chongde will naturally take him down on the spot.Xiao Yanliao can only take a gamble.

He apologized and said with a smile: "The old minister dare not. But as far as the old minister knows, this medicine is called Huang Mou. It was a precious tribute received by the queen mother back then, and only some of it was given to the emperor and prince."

"What a joke! Prime Minister Xiao thinks it's me just because I have that medicinal material?" Zhou Zhao thought for a while, then laughed again. I took the initiative to ask the queen mother for some..."

Xiao Yanliao paused, never expecting this to happen, and glanced at the prince.

Yelu Chongde looked at the prince.There was obviously a lot of doubt in his eyes.

"Chongming, is there such a thing?"

"If Brother Huang and Uncle Guo don't believe it, send someone to the mansion to search and find out."

The prince was stunned in place, but finally felt aggrieved, and said: "Indeed, there are indeed. At that time, my son went to ask the emperor's grandmother for some more."

Zhou Zhao laughed. He knew that Yelu Chongming didn't have the slightest bit of patience. At that time, he deliberately used the aggressive method to let the prince fall into the trap, and went to the queen mother indignantly.

And he also understood that the crown prince would be worried about Xiao Yanliao's reprimand, so he would not tell him about it.

Xiao Yanliao only felt that iron could not be made into steel.At such a critical moment, the crown prince didn't even tell him such an important event.

But Yelu Chongming didn't think it was necessary, because he didn't do it in the first place, Yelu Chongye must have other reasons, and the father would definitely choose to trust him between him and the emperor's uncle.

"But, father, I swear to the heavens, I will never harm you, my uncle must have done all of this!" Yelu Chongming explained, and directly stepped forward to grab Yelu Chongde's wrist. "The children and ministers are filial, and the emperor must learn from them!"

Yelu Chongde stared at him for a while, but suddenly swung him away forcefully.

Yelu Chongming sat aside and stared wide-eyed. First, it was unbelievable that Yelu Chongde would choose to trust Yelu Chongye between Yelu Chongye and him. Second, although Yelu Chongde's strength at that moment was not as great as before, it was still It definitely doesn't look like a terminally ill person.

"Chongming, I really underestimated you! You are so brave!"

Xiao Yanliao and Yelu Chongming were completely stunned, they never expected that Yelu Chongde would make such a choice.

"Father, would you rather trust the uncle than the minister?" Yelu Chongming shouted angrily.

Yelu Chongde looked at Yelu Chongming, hesitated for a while, but soon became decisive and asked, "Chongming, do you dare to take off your shirt and let me see?"

Yelu Chongming was stunned, and then knelt down.

"Earlier when the imperial physician said that the only way to treat my heart disease is to use the heart and flesh of a mature man among my blood relatives as medicine, did you really offer it?" Yelu Chongde sneered.

"If it wasn't for your eleventh uncle who gave his heart and soul, would I still have my life?"

Yelu Chongming glanced at Yelu Chongye in disbelief, knowing that Yelu Chongde had already made a judgment between himself and him, kowtowed again and again, crying, "Father, Father! You have to believe my son My lord! My lord really didn't harm you, my lord just really didn't want to endure the pain of cutting my heart, the emperor's uncle is used to the battlefield, but my lord is different..."

The more Yelu Chongming explained, the deeper the disgust in Yelu Chongde's eyes.

Seeing this, Yelu Chongming became more and more aggrieved and desperate, and said without hesitation: "Father is now so old, it is inevitable that the dragon's health is unavoidable. My son is young, do you really have the heart to take half of your son's life? My father had a mishap, and my son and minister will still have to..."

"Your Majesty!" Xiao Yanliao suddenly shouted, interrupting Yelu Chongming's words. He looked at Yelu Chongming, gritted his teeth in hatred and helplessness, and kowtowed to Yelu Chongde as if he had made up his mind: "Your Highness The matter was instigated by the old minister, and I begged His Majesty to punish the minister. But the matter of asking for the medicine, Your Majesty must investigate it carefully anyway! If your Majesty needs it, the old minister can also help find a lot of evidence."

Yelu Chongde glanced at Yelu Chongye, he had doubts about Yelu Chongye, but his illness had indeed improved a lot after all.If Yelu Chongye really wanted to harm him, why would he use such a tactic of injuring the enemy one thousand and self-injury eight hundred?

Cut off the heart.What kind of pain has to be endured, maybe the root cause of the disease will also fall in the future... Thinking of the words and deeds of the prince before.

Yelu Chongde felt more and more overwhelmed by the heights, he was old after all, and he didn't want to think about it.He would rather choose to trust Yelu Chongye.

Yelu Chongde looked at the two of them for a long time, as if he was completely tired, he didn't want to listen and watch any more, and said: "Someone will put the prince under house arrest for questioning. Prime Minister Xiao will be put in prison."

When Xiao Yanliao was taken away, Yelu Chongming was still begging for mercy.Xiao Yanliao was powerless to listen, and secretly said bitterly, he really shouldn't have brought the prince here today!It's all because I thought I was sure of winning, but I was careless.

But even if the crown prince didn't come, could he really turn around the situation today?

At that time, the prince went to ask the queen mother for medicine, after all, he went spontaneously.Or was he instigated by the person in front of him?

However, how could Yelu Chongye and his gang of reckless people have such a deep city?Was it set up so long ago?

Xiao Yanliao met Yelu Chongye's eyes and looked at him.Suddenly, he felt that the person in front of him was so strange.

After Xiao Yanliao and the crown prince were suppressed, the entire court turned to a one-sided trend after the violent turmoil.To make matters worse, the news of the complete annihilation of the Xiliao army in northern Xinjiang also spread.

This big battle should have been inevitable, but it was rumored that someone had betrayed the army, and the number of rebel bandits was astonishing, and there were still many generals left.While the Xiliao people were shocked and grieved, they also faintly realized that they might have been fooled.But can Qin Ke really endure the humiliation for so many years?

Yelu Chongde remembered that Xiao Yanliao and others had protected Qin Ke from before, and also knew that Yelu Chongyan, the prince and others had cooperated with Qin Ke, and became even more angry, completely venting his anger on Xiao Yanliao.

But the Xiao family's power is too huge, and there are many party members, so it will not be easy for Yelu Chongde to handle it.Xiao's dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, and there is already a faint tendency to rebel.The entire court was more chaotic than before, and there was a feeling that the mountains and rain were about to come and the wind filled the building.

All this is good news for Zhou Zhao.

Zhou Zhao knew that Qin Ke had teamed up with Mu Chengtao to take Lei Fan down.

Sure enough, not long after, Zhou Zhao received a secret letter from Qin Ke, telling him that everything was going well, and he smiled with relief.

While 666 was relieved, he remembered something and reminded: "Host, the Xiao family has already planned to rebel directly, and it is very likely that they will give up dealing with you and send someone to assassinate you directly. You must be careful."

Zhou Zhao smiled and said, "I can't ask for it."

He narrowed his eyes, Yelu Chongye should have died a long time ago.He also thought, go see that person earlier.

After Qin Ke and Mu Chengtao, Li Si and his relatives defeated the Xiliao army in northern Xinjiang, they captured Lei Fan and several generals alive.

Li Siqi hated Lei Fan deeply and wanted to kill Lei Fan immediately, but Qin Ke told him not to act rashly.He used many cruel and creepy methods, and even wished to use some despicable methods to threaten Lei Fan, forcing Lei Fan to confess some secrets of Xiliao.

Mu Chengtao felt relieved that Qin Ke had changed.But in fact, after so long, he himself has changed a lot.Why doesn't he hate Lei Fan, when he learned of his father's death and the death of his second sister who was humiliated, he wished he could eat Lei Fan alive, but he knew that the overall situation must be the top priority.

Wei Zhao persuaded him even more, let him pretend to be a bandit, and make a living here, to hide his strength and bide his time, and meet His Majesty.

Li Siqi thought of what he did to the Taifu in the past, and secretly sighed that he was too impulsive.

While the three were feeling emotional, Mu Chengtao suddenly said to Qin Ke: "Your Majesty, let's go and see someone later."

Qin Ke followed immediately.

The three of them walked to the back mountain together, and saw a scholar in Tsing Yi standing there.

Qin Ke was stunned for a while before realizing that the scholar in Tsing Yi was actually Qin Lian.

Qin Lian has grown from that frail and immature young man to a handsome young man, looking handsome and refined.

"...Brother Huang!" When Qin Lian saw Qin Ke, he almost failed to recognize him, and he was so excited when he realized that he strode over immediately.

Qin Ke patted Qin Lian on the shoulder, and the men and women reunited after a long absence. Thinking of all the things in these years, tears filled their eyes for a while.

These days, Qin Ke is busy with military affairs and constantly expanding his power to deal with the attack tactics that may be strengthened after the fiasco of the Xiliao army. At the same time, he is still writing letters to Zhou Zhao in private.

But just in case, the letters of the two were kept extremely secret. Although they wrote a lot of letters, they only sent out a few extremely necessary ones.

That day Qin Ke was dipping his pen and ink in his room, but someone rushed in hastily.

It was Mu Chengtao.

He had always been prudent, but Qin Ke couldn't help but feel uneasy at this moment in such a hasty and reckless manner. He immediately stood up and looked at him with fixed eyebrows. "General Mu, what happened?"

"Your Majesty, something serious has happened in the Xiliao Palace!"
