Sheng Gong Dance

Yue Zhongtian sat on the Dragon Throne expressionlessly.There were people kneeling on the ground below, but no one made a sound.There was an oppressive atmosphere in the entire Lingxi Palace.

Looking at the brocade box in front of him, Yue Zhongtian's deep and majestic voice sounded above everyone's heads, "Shentu, tell me what happened tonight?"

Kneeling in it, Shentu cupped his hands and reported, "Your Majesty, when I was patrolling outside the Liuli Hall tonight, I encountered assassins. Halfway through the chase, those assassins scattered and fled, and I sent the Habayashi Army to chase them in all directions. And The subordinates were also tasked with chasing one of the leading assassins.

When the subordinates were confronting the assassin, several subordinates came to report that the other three Highnesses also encountered the assassin in the palace.The subordinates didn't notice for a moment, so they let the assassin escape.

Among the other assassins, except for a few who escaped, all those who were captured alive took poison and committed suicide. "Shentu finished speaking truthfully, and lowered his head in shame.

"Then where did this come from?" Yue Zhongtian asked word by word, staring at the brocade box in front of him.Like a nail being hammered into the heart, everyone's hearts tightened and they became more and more suffocated.

"Reporting to the emperor, this subordinate found it from the bedroom of His Royal Highness when... when he inspected the bedrooms of His Royal Highnesses afterwards." After Shentu finished speaking, Yue Xiqin was taken aback, looked up, and looked at the brocade box on the table inexplicably. .

The others also looked up at the brocade box.Living up to everyone's expectations, Yue Zhongtian stretched out his hand and slowly opened the brocade box.When the contents inside were displayed in front of everyone, there was a gasp in Lingxi Hall.

Yue Xiqin was completely stunned on the spot.On the contrary, Concubine Ying, who was kneeling beside him, hurriedly cried out, "Your Majesty, someone must have framed my son. That's right...it must be like this..." Saying this, Concubine Ying looked suspiciously at Concubine Wan.

How could it be possible for Concubine Wan to let Xilou bear such a crime of treason, "Your Majesty, the whereabouts of the emperor's son are still unknown, so I'm afraid it's more ominous. How could it be related to this matter?"

"Maybe he disappeared on purpose to make people believe that this matter has nothing to do with him?" Concubine Ying sneered.

"If this is the case, my emperor will not leave. Wouldn't this make people more suspicious?" Concubine Wan was no different.

"Who knows what kindness he has in mind?"

"Don't spout blood..."

"Shut up." Yue Zhongtian yelled angrily, shocking Concubine Ying back when she had no time to speak.His sharp eyes swept across the group of people below until they were crushed to the point of suffocation again.

"Shentu, where is the Fourth Highness?" Yue Zhongtian asked knowingly.

"Going back to the emperor, I saw that His Highness the Fourth Highness seemed to have gone out of the palace in the morning. I thought he had returned to the palace long ago. But I don't think the Fourth Highness has not come back yet. However, Xiao Luo, who was serving by his side, has returned to the palace. My subordinate I have already asked him just now. He said that His Highness the Fourth Highness has gone back to the General's Mansion, and sent him back first."

"The general's mansion?"

"Yes."

Frowning thoughtfully, Yue Zhongtian ordered Wei Min who was standing beside him, "Wei Min, go to the General's Mansion quickly. If the Fourth Emperor is there, call him back."

"Yes." Wei Min took the order and quickly retreated.

The entire Lingxi Palace was once again silent.Everyone kneeling seemed to be able to hear the beating of their hearts.But Yue Zhongtian, who was sitting in a high position, looked unpredictable.

About half an hour later, Wei Min walked in with an ugly face, and when passing by Concubine Wan, he glanced sympathetically, hurried to Yue Zhongtian's side, and whispered something in his ear.

Yue Zhongtian's expression changed, and he looked at Wei Min, as if he was waiting for his confirmation.Wei Min nodded heavily.Yue Zhongtian closed his eyes deeply, opened them again, and when he looked down, he happened to meet Concubine Shang Wan with a worried and anxious expression.

"The West Tower is not in the General's Mansion. But..." Everyone froze in their hearts, waiting for Yue Zhongtian's next words.After a long time, Yue Zhong let out a breath. "Something happened to the general's mansion."

"What?" Concubine Wan looked at Yue Zhongtian in disbelief.

"Thirty people in the general's mansion were all killed overnight." Yue Zhongtian said these words heavily.Everyone just felt like a dream, seemingly real and unreal.

"How is it possible? My father is superb in martial arts, who can hurt him?" Concubine Wan still argued in disbelief.

"He died from poisoning." After a slight pause, Yue Zhongtian said slowly, "However, one person's whereabouts are unknown. That person is the deputy general beside the old general, Qi Nuo."

As soon as this remark came out, Concubine Wan and Concubine Ying's eyes met.When Concubine Wan heard such news, she couldn't control herself for a while, pointing at Concubine Ying, she shouted, "Your father must have ordered this. This Qi Nuo was originally placed by your father's side by my father's side. It must be you, it must be you..." With that said, Concubine Wan didn't care about anything else and stepped forward to pull Concubine Ying.Concubine Ying stretched out her hand to resist.The scene was chaotic.

The two dignified and elegant women on weekdays are now fighting on the spot in spite of their gaffes.Only Concubine Xue was kneeling aside, looking at everything in front of her indifferently, with a sneer on her lips.

Yue Zhongtian frowned, and waved for someone to push the two away, signaling to send Concubine Wan away first.Concubine Wan let a few servants drive away like a puppet that lost her soul.

And Yue Xiqin, who had been stunned by a series of news for a long time, suddenly yelled madly, "It must be King Ancheng. Yes, it must be King Ancheng. Father, he is the one who wants to harm my son and minister. My son is killed by him. I used it. Father, it must be him. It must be him..."

Yue Xiqin's incoherent yelling did exactly what Yue Zhongtian wanted.There are many doubts about many things, but they still have to be dealt with one by one.He raised his eyes to signal Wei Min to pass on King An Cheng.Wei Min naturally understood, bowed and left again.

----------------------------------- Sheng Gong Dance ------------ ---------------------

While the palace was in chaos, the West Building was still enjoying tea leisurely.Hot tea drives away the cold.This early spring is the coldest, drinking more tea is good for the body and mind.

Thinking of this, Xilou smiled helplessly.Gu Fei's words, he always remembers the most, the most firmly.

At this time, the pressing door was suddenly opened.Xilou was startled, and after seeing the person coming, he smiled slightly, "Why did the emperor personally deliver the meals? How can Xilou bear this?"

Yue Zhongyuan looked at Xilou with complicated eyes, slowly sat down on the chair opposite him, and said slowly, "Something happened in the palace. Now someone wants to tell me to go forward."

"An accident happened in the palace? Does the emperor know what happened?" Xilou looked at Yue Chongyuan in a daze.

Yue Zhongyuan was not in a hurry to answer, but finished what he hadn't finished. "Besides, I just got a report from a spies. Something happened to the General's Mansion. All [-] people were killed. Only Qi Nuo's whereabouts are unknown."

Upon hearing this, Xilou was shocked, and there was no time to hide his sadness.Immediately, his expression changed, and he asked with an unusually heavy tone, "Uncle Huang, can you tell me first what happened in the palace?"

Seeing the young man in front of him suppressing the sadness in his heart, he reluctantly talked to himself.Yue Chongyuan admired it.Now it seems that I can cooperate with him, so it doesn't matter if I use it first.After all, I was still afraid of the General's Mansion behind him.Now the General's Mansion is missing.He can really only rely on himself.

"There was an assassin in the palace tonight. The palaces of the three highnesses were all attacked, including your fourth highness of course. When Shentu searched for the assassins and checked the scene, he found the missing jade seal in Yue Xiqin's palace. In addition, there was an accident in the general's mansion, and Qi Nuo disappeared." Speaking of this, Yue Zhongyuan added, "Then Qi Nuo was originally recommended by Lu Taiwei to the general. All these things combined will be extremely unfavorable to Yue Xiqin I didn't expect him to be good, and directly pushed everything to this king. Now that the four His Royal Highnesses have been assassinated in the palace, the spearhead is not directly directed at this king." Speaking of this, Yue Zhongyuan became impatient.

"Uncle Huang is willing to cooperate with Xilou? What about the previous conditions?" Xilou asked eagerly after hearing this.

Right now, my situation is uncertain.He is also willing to subject the previous conditions.Of course Yue Chongyuan is happy. "Yue Xiqin bites back. This king is naturally willing to cooperate with His Highness the Fourth Highness. I wonder what the nephew's plan is now?"

When Yue Chongyuan asked here, Xilou was not in a hurry to answer, but asked again, "Is the emperor sure that no one in the general's mansion was spared? Is grandpa really dead?"

Hearing him ask about this matter, Yue Chongyuan also sighed, "I have already sent someone to confirm it. Your Highness, Fourth Highness, let's go along with my condolences. According to this king, Yue Xiqin must have something to do with this matter."

Xilou's complexion changed, and he said fiercely, "Yue Xiqin, I will make you pay a heavy price." Then, he leaned his head over to Yue Zhongyuan's ear, and whispered his thoughts.Yue Chongyuan nodded, and glanced at the west building appreciatively.
