miscalculation

Xiao Yi ordered that Meng Guangbin, Minister of Dali Temple, investigate Qin Xin in detail, and find out the masterminds behind all the assassins that day.He had clearly seen that the assassins of that day were not dispatched by one person, but they would never attack at the same time by such a coincidence.

Qin Xin was silent in the sky prison, he was not willing to cooperate with Meng Guangbin at all, and just kept silent to the end.Meng Guangbin had obtained Xiao Yi's order in advance, so he could not be punished. In this case, he had no choice but to investigate his identity.

Xiao Yi glanced at the report he submitted, and asked, "This person has something to do with Shen Lingjiao? Have you checked for sure?"

Meng Guangbin said: "That's true. I visited the restaurants where he stayed in the capital before, and almost every one said that he would always inquire about the old house of the Shen family, and occasionally Shen Lingjiao's maid would come to him."

Xiao Yi didn't say much, he just ordered Yue Wang to enter the palace, and sat alone on the table in a daze.

Seeing this, Eunuch Zhang hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't you want to visit Concubine Shu today? The crown prince sent a message saying that the empress is already awake, but her body is extremely weak."

Xiao Yi glanced at him and said: "Zhang Leshi, you old slave, you have received a lot of benefits from the prince, otherwise why would you have the guts to tell me this?"

Eunuch Zhang was taken aback, and quickly knelt down and said, "This old slave is guilty of death, Your Majesty, calm down!"

Xiao Yi waved his hand: "Okay, don't be dead, it's serious to make a cup of maple dew tea for me."

Eunuch Zhang got up and went out to make tea himself.He made a gesture, and a dark guard walked in.

Xiao Yi asked: "What's the matter?"

The hidden guard said: "The humble officer bumped into him at the gate of the palace yesterday..."

Xiao Yi looked up at him and said, "I never asked about him, why did you bother?"

The secret guard knelt down and said, "Resign from the humble position."

Xiao Yi kicked the table leg and said, "Stop! Keep talking."

The dark guard turned around and said, "It's good to see him in good spirits. He was just asking about your assassination, and he left when he found out that you were fine."

Xiao Yi said: "Who told you that I'm fine?"

The secret guard knelt down and said: "The lowly post is stupid, Your Majesty forgives the sin!"

Xiao Yi sighed, and said: "Okay, okay, you go down too. When you tell Zhang Le, the tea will be served by someone else, so he can kneel on the cobblestone road in the back garden. You must kneel for an hour before getting up."

The dark guard took the order and went to find Eunuch Zhang to convey the words.When Eunuch Zhang heard about it, he knelt down obediently, and just muttered: "Your Majesty is obviously happy in his heart, but he wanted to make this old servant suffer. It's really like being with a king like a tiger."

The secret guard asked: "Eunuch Zhang, why did His Majesty punish you?"

Zhang Leshi said: "Isn't it because I didn't let you report Wuzhi to His Majesty in time!"

The secret guard said: "Since that's the case, it would be good if the humble officer went to say no early in the morning. Why did you stop me at that time?"

Zhang Leshi smiled bitterly and said: "You have to say it. Your Majesty will definitely say who asked you to mention him. I'm afraid that you and I will be beaten at that time. Why don't I kneel alone for a while now, and it will be fine."

The hidden guard said: "Since Your Majesty is worried about Wuzhi, why doesn't he speak out?"

Zhang Leshi said: "You still say, speak louder, be careful that His Majesty cuts you off. We don't need to understand the careful things here. Go down, it's okay for me to kneel alone."

The dark guard was helpless, nodded in yes, and walked out.

Zhang Leshi knelt there with the scorching sun on his head, and passed out in less than an hour.The eunuch serving beside him was terrified, and hurriedly went to report to Xiao Yi, but he was talking to Xiao Qian, so he had to let Zhang Leshi collapse on the ground.

He was drowsy, as if he had returned to the scene when he was a child and had never entered the palace.

"Cousin, why are you eating leftovers here alone? How dare mother treat you like this! Let me tell daddy!"

"When you are happy, please keep your voice down. It would be nice if I could have something to eat. Our hometown was flooded in the Yellow River, and many people starved to death. I can escape to your house. It is not easy to wait for my uncle and aunt to take me in."

"cousin!"

He suddenly opened his eyes and saw that he was still sprawled on the ground in the back garden, so he struggled to kneel down, and only told the people around him to keep quiet and not to disturb Sheng Jia.

After Xiao Qian entered the palace, he saw Xiao Yi's expression was not hesitant, so he didn't dare to speak too much.Since he was punished to copy the scriptures, after returning, his mind has calmed down a lot, and he is more calm than before.

"Ban Lin, do you recognize Qin Xin?"

"Father said, could it be the one who assassinated you? I heard that he sneaked into Zhao Wang's mansion before, joined the Dian Kingdom before the battle, plotted against Zhao Wang, and was captured alive by Qin Wang, and his whereabouts are unknown. Of course, I don't know this people!"

Xiao Yi glanced at him, then suddenly slapped the table and said, "Aren't you telling Father the truth now?"

Xiao Qian was taken aback, knelt on the ground immediately, and said, "Father! What are you talking about?"

Xiao Yi said: "After he hid in your mansion for several months to recover from his injuries, he even went to Jiangnan with you. He was by your side when you were assassinated. Later, when you were injured and stopped in Lizhou, he even came back to look for you! "

Xiao Qian said: "My son is guilty."

Xiao Yi asked: "Ban Lin, you are the prince I brought up personally since I was a child. Everyone says that the Tian family is ruthless, and my father thinks that he treats you well. Although you have half of Xiliang's blood on you, it is my Xiao family after all." Now tell me honestly, did you know that Qin Xin is the queen of King Ning? You are not angry. I became the emperor, but your father could only hit a wall and die, so you colluded with him to deceive the Shen family. , and then raised troops to rebel and destroy my Dongling country?"

Xiao Qian was taken aback, he didn't expect to hear him ask such a question, and said: "Royal father! I really don't know that Qin Xin is the queen of Ning Wang! But he is the beloved person of Princess Yue. He assassinated my minister that day. Save your life. Erchen promised Yue Wangfei not to embarrass him, so he let him go. As for the Shen family's wealth, if Erchen really intends to communicate with him, how can he steal the account book!"

Xiao Yi said: "You keep saying that you love the princess, and even swear that you will never marry her for life! If Qin Xin is the person the princess loves, you should kill him, let alone assassinate you! You are clearly with Qin Xin on purpose. Acting, so that he can break into King Zhao's mansion, so that he can completely calculate King Zhao's current situation in Dian Kingdom, and even cost Gu Zhao's life. You really have a far-reaching plan, and my father really underestimated you."

Xiao Qian wanted to say more, but saw Xiao Yi throw out a memorial. He picked it up and read it again, but saw that it was written about the case of Jiaonu, that strange jade pendant.

Xiao Yi continued: "I have already found out that your jade pendant was involved in the case of Jiao Nu that day. At that time, I felt that the matter was strange, so I ordered to investigate again, and I was afraid that you would be wronged. I didn't expect that Shi Xiang turned around and said You were murdered and silenced, and then you died without evidence. I sent you to patrol the south of the Yangtze River to test what is wrong with you, and you really did a series of assassinations, which is really good! Very good!"

Seeing this, Xiao Qian finally stopped talking, and only said: "Since the emperor believes this to be the case, it doesn't matter whether this matter was done by my son or not. My son is willing to bear the crime!"

Xiao Yi suddenly stood up, kicked the desk, and even sprinkled hot tea on Xiao Qian's body.Xiao Qian endured the pain and said nothing, just knelt on the ground and remained calm.

Xiao Yi yelled angrily: "I am willing to bear this crime! Do you know what crime you are pleading guilty to? Harboring traitors, murdering the prince, deceiving the emperor, heinous crimes, how are you going to bear them!"

Xiao Qian said calmly: "This is the end of the matter, I just hope that you will not be too sad, Father, and you will be unfilial as a child, and I am ashamed of the kindness of nurturing you for many years."

Xiao Yi burst into tears with anger, and said, "Ban Lin, tell me, is there any hidden secret in this?"

Xiao Qian said: "There is no secret, my son pleaded guilty."

Xiao Yi said: "When you come, you can pass the decree, deprive you of the title of king of Yue, demote you to a commoner, and put him in prison in Dali Temple!"

Xiao Qian solemnly kowtowed three times on the ground, and then was taken down. He saw a familiar palace man rushing out, so he knew that he had reported to Xiao Jue.He sighed in his heart: I just hope that Ah Zhu will not be obsessed with obsession, can let go of this love, and be a benevolent king in the future, and stop having wishful thinking.

When he arrived at the cell of Dali Temple, which was adjacent to where Qin Xin was being held, he didn't say much, just sat silently by the side.

Qin Xin looked at him and asked, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Xiao Qian said, "What do you want me to say?"

Qin Xin approached suddenly, almost strangled his neck, exhausted all his strength, if it wasn't for the iron chains, he would have almost succeeded.

Xiao Qian breathed a sigh of relief, pushed away a few steps, and asked, "You...are you really Queen Ning?"

Qin Xin laughed loudly, and said: "It's not important, the important thing is that I bit you, I didn't expect to succeed easily, it seems that what the man said is right, Emperor Yan Qi is really too smart, but it is easy to fall for you." count."

Xiao Qian asked: "Who is that person?"

Qin Xin said: "Don't care who that person is, you are in danger now, why don't you ask me what he said to impress me to frame you?"

The assassination that day, Qin Xin's deep affection for Shen Lingjiao, and his promise not to kill himself are still vivid in his memory.In the past few months when he was in Jiangnan, Qin Xin treated him with respect and courtesy, but now he suddenly launched an attack, he really couldn't figure it out.

Xiao Qian asked: "I want to know, but you will tell me?"

Qin Xin said: "Hahaha...why don't I say it, no one can save you anyway, now you are sure to die. I really don't understand, as a man, how could you be willing to commit yourself to another man? That person is still you My flesh and blood brother, don’t you think it’s dirty and disgusting? Thanks to my pity for you being involuntary and besieged on all sides, I didn’t expect it to be so unnecessary!”

Xiao Qian suddenly stood up and said: "You, what are you talking about! Who told you this, who is it!"

Qin Xin ignored it completely, and said to himself: "Since you are such a lowly person, why did you marry Lingjiao! She died for you! You lied to her! You killed her! I, Qin Xin, will definitely marry Lingjiao! Your body is smashed to pieces, there is no place to die, even if you die, you will be taken to hell with you."

Xiao Qian knelt on the ground and said: "If you want to kill me, you can do whatever you want, I just ask you to let him go."

Qin Xin said: "You are still pleading for him? Hmph, if it weren't for the dirty things you did, I would have been a prisoner, a traitor, no one would believe what I said, and I would have exposed you long ago! If he treats you sincerely, when you die, his life will be worse than death, this kind of torture, wouldn't it be a pleasure!"

As Qin Xin spoke, he laughed louder, kowtowed and pleaded with Xiao Qian beside him, the two voices were mixed, which made people even more frightened.

After a while, the jailer came and took Xiao Qian away from here, and went to the other side of the Tianzihao cell to be imprisoned.

Xiao Qian felt perplexed, so he thought about it carefully: According to the ritual system, he should be in Tianzihao's cell.I was too panicked just now, but I forgot about it.In this way, there are only a handful of people behind Qin Xin.Could it be King Zhao, who hated himself for such a fate?This is absolutely impossible, Zhao Wang hates Qin Xin to the bone, and it should be impossible to cooperate with him now.So who is it?

Now the position of the crown prince is in jeopardy, and the only ones who are likely to succeed the crown prince are Liang Wang Xiao Yunxiang and Qin Wang Xiao Liang.Since the death of Concubine Liu Chen, Xiao Yunxiang became more and more withdrawn, and his previous aphasia became more and more serious.Then the only possibility is Xiao Liang. Thinking of this, he couldn't believe it.

Xiao Liang has made great military achievements in pacifying the Dian Kingdom this time, and he has gotten very close to Ji Lan. Could it be that he really intends to be the throne, and that's why he framed himself?The more Xiao Qian thought about it, the more he couldn't put his suspicion on Xiao Qi, whom he had loved since childhood, so he gradually let go of his thoughts and only thought about how to pass the news to Xiao Jue so that he would not interfere in this matter.
