After I became a widow

Royal Palace

The emperor was looking at the pile of crimes, all of which were sent to the palace by Xiao Beihuai.

The emperor looked a little angry, but he dropped several memorials in a short while, still scolding the bastard.

"I treat him well and respect him everywhere. I never thought he was a former traitor. I really underestimate him!"

Before opening the memorial, the emperor thought that at most it was a matter of murder and greed for money. The status of the national teacher is convenient, and he can often walk in front of the emperor. There are many people who want to flatter him.

However, if the person is a remnant of the previous dynasty and a traitor, the consequences will be completely different.

"Where's Duke Huai's man? Call me over and ask him to explain clearly to me what's going on here?"

The emperor was calling for someone, Xiao Beihuai came in, saluted the emperor, "I have seen the emperor."

The Son of Heaven directly threw a memorial to Xiao Beihuai's face, "Please explain clearly, why is my national teacher a remnant of the previous dynasty?"

Xiao Beihuai picked up the memorial, and Xu Cai who was waiting on the side came to take it away.

Xiao Beihuai said, "Who is he, has my father really not noticed it for so many years?"

The emperor glared angrily, "If I knew he was a remnant of the previous dynasty, how could I regard him as a national teacher?!"

"That can only be blamed on your ignorance of people, allowing a remnant tormented under your nose for so long, and even fooling you around."

The emperor relied heavily on this national teacher, especially when he was young, even many officials in the court were elected to certain positions by the national teacher, which made the current court look like a good official.

It can only be said that Dayong hasn't messed up after being tossed like this, it's all because of the good foundation of the previous emperors.

"Presumptuous, you are getting more and more courageous now, and even accused Shangzhen."

"Otherwise?" Xiao Beihuai asked back, "Don't you want to boast about being blind?"

From that day in Changxin Palace, Xiao Beihuai felt that he and the emperor had already torn their skins, so there was no need to be too polite.

"I entered the palace to report to you. Li Miao, I have already been deposed. I have arrested him and everyone in the Forbidden Garden. Now they are locked up in the Ministry of Punishment. You can send someone to interrogate them. Just keep your breath. I still have important things to do." Ask him something."

"In addition, the evidence of these crimes is true, and your minister handed it over to me by himself."

The emperor's eyes widened, he wanted to scold Xiao Beihuai a few words but swallowed the words back, he knew that Xiao Beihuai didn't need to lie to him, he said it was true and it was true.

Although everyone said that his son was vicious and merciless, the emperor knew that his son never killed innocent people indiscriminately.

The emperor didn't bother to read the evidence, he just picked it up and threw it all back to Xiao Beihuai, "Since you found it all, you can investigate it yourself, I don't care about you."

"However, you acted too boldly and did not take me seriously. Just in time, I also prepared an imperial decree for you. You can open it after leaving the palace. You only need to accept the imperial decree, and no matter what you want to do in the future, I'm up to you, and I'll give you back the bottom line."

The emperor asked Xu Cai to show Xiao Beihuai the imperial decree he had written in advance, but Xiao Beihuai took a look at the imperial decree and did not accept it. The emperor no longer had credibility with him. He didn't think there would be anything good written in the imperial decree. .

"No, if you want to subjugate the country, just stop me from doing things. Anyway, I am not the one who needs to explain to the ancestors."

Xiao Beihuai came into the palace just to say hello to the emperor, and it was time for him to leave the palace after the matter was finished.

After Xiao Beihuai finished speaking, he folded his hands and withdrew, not even touching his hands with the imperial decree.

Xu Cai looked at the emperor in embarrassment, "Your Majesty, this?"

The emperor shook his head, "It's okay, anyway, it's more than that, he will know soon."

The emperor seemed to be planning his plans with confidence, and it didn't matter what the remnants of the previous dynasty or the treacherous officials in the court were. As long as he had a son who was willing to ascend the throne and inherit the throne in the future, that was enough.

The emperor felt that he was really well-intentioned, and he was not angry anymore.

He also ordered Xu Cai, "Have someone go to the Ministry of Punishment. After asking what should be asked, the person will deal with it. In addition, the Forbidden Garden has also arranged to find a good reason for the death, so that the people are not allowed to know about the national teacher's crimes." true identity."

Few people would go to court early, and now the remnants of the previous dynasty just brought back memories, and it might attract more remnants hidden in the dark, which is not good.

The emperor has done this thing of covering his mouth many times, and he is very proficient now.

Xu Cai naturally followed the emperor's orders.

……

On the other side, when Xiao Beihuai left the palace and returned to Duke Huai's mansion, the Ye family hadn't left yet, Su Jingqing kept them at home for dinner, and waited for Xiao Beihuai to come back by the way.

Xiao Beihuai was a little surprised when he saw his grandfather and uncle were there. If he hadn't asked someone to invite them specially, the Ye family would hardly have visited the door on their own initiative.

"But what happened?" This was Xiao Beihuai's subconscious reaction.

"It's not a big deal, let's talk slowly while eating later," Su Jingqing took over the words, he was worried that Xiao Beihuai would go into the palace with the imperial decree to ask the emperor for an explanation when he turned around.

Seeing that Su Jingqing's expression was normal, Xiao Beihuai believed his words, and sat down to eat after cleaning his hands.

Today's dinner is early, mainly because the Ye family will go home later.

Xiao Beihuai was also very hungry, spent a lot of time in the Forbidden Garden, just ate something casually at noon, and it was time for dinner.

He picked up two chopsticks of vegetables for Su Jingqing, and told Mrs. Ye to eat quickly, and quickly picked up vegetables and rice.

Although the action was not rude, this appearance still made Mr. Ye feel distressed. What a good boy, why can't he see him well.

Anyway, Mr. Ye is satisfied with Su Jingqing. Although the Su family is in decline, they are kind-hearted and kind-hearted, especially Su Jingqing, who is good-looking and flexible.

Even with his status as Duke Huai, Laozi Ye didn't have much appetite for holding a bowl, and he even regretted letting his daughter get in touch with the emperor.

If the family is changed, the daughter will definitely be fine, and she will give birth to a son as good as Duke Huai. He can do whatever he wants and marry whoever he wants, and he will never be treated so harshly now.

Apart from remorse, he also has a lot of resentment towards the Son of Heaven. The Son of Heaven prevents the relatives of the Ye family from sitting on the throne, prevents Duke Huai from getting in touch with the Ye family, and prevents the Ye family from entering the court as officials. The Ye family didn't want to worry too much.

However, the emperor's bowl of water was not flat, and only the Ye family, the Zhong family and the Qin family were the only ones to guard against. The sword has no eyes, and the emperor is really relieved.

If it wasn't for the connivance of the emperor, how could there be a fake death later.

The people of Duke Huai came back alive, but did the Son of Heaven know about the suffering and suffering in the middle?

The more Mr. Ye thought about it, the more angry he was, he put down his chopsticks, and said to his son next to him, "Go, bring the imperial decree, I'll go into the palace."

With food in his stomach, Xiao Beihuai was not so hungry anymore, so he slowed down his eating speed, and immediately asked after hearing this, "Grandpa, what imperial decree?"

He also gestured to Su Jingqing with his eyes, asking Su Jingqing to tell him.

Su Jingqing stopped Uncle Ye who was about to get up, and finished the content of the imperial edict in one sentence, "Your father asked cousin Lanzhi to be your wife."

Xiao Beihuai frowned on the spot, remembering that the emperor would give him an imperial edict before leaving the palace.

It turns out that no matter whether he accepts it or not, the imperial decree has already been issued.

Xiao Beihuai couldn't tell whether it was anger or powerlessness for a while, he had just caught a group of remnants of the previous dynasty with all his efforts, but when he turned his head, he was counted by his father's house, and this time it was blamed on his mother and stepmother's family .

Xiao Beihuai even began to wonder whether his father hated his mother or his mother, and wanted to treat him and his mother's family like this.

In the end, all his thoughts circulated, and Xiao Beihuai sneered, "Don't worry, grandpa and uncle, this imperial decree will not come true. You don't have to tell the outside world that you have accepted the imperial decree."

"If someone with a heart is found to spread the matter, even if they are arrested to see me, the king will make them shut up."

He didn't care, but he couldn't ruin Ye Lanzhi's reputation.

Uncle Ye was in a dilemma, "I'm afraid that the news has already spread by now. There will be a lot of battles when people come from the palace to proclaim the imperial decree. Anyone who is interested will be able to find out as soon as they ask."

In short, unless Xiao Beihuai marries Ye Lanzhi, no matter how much he silences others, Ye Lanzhi's reputation will not be restored.

The emperor really didn't give Xiao Beihuai any escape route.

After all, Xiao Beihuai didn't feel comfortable eating this meal. He sent the Ye family away with his front feet, but his face turned into ice cubes with his back feet.

Xiao Beihuai directly stretched out his hand to pull Su Jingqing, "Go, go to the Ministry of Punishment."

He had to do something, or the anger in his heart would burn him to death.

At this moment, Li Miao and his apprentices and grandchildren are his best targets.

Su Jingqing caressed the back of Xiao Beihuai's hand, and at the same time told Siyan and the others to bring a food box to follow, and then rode with Xiao Beihuai to the Criminal Department.

The officials of the Ministry of Punishments are on duty, but the cells are guarded day and night. When everyone sees Duke Huai coming full of evil spirits, they know that someone is going to be punished. The prison of the Ministry of Punishments is the quietest one. To be honest, I dare not make trouble at all.

Xiao Beihuai himself didn't realize how terrifying he was at the moment. The jailer pointed to the cell where Li Miao was being held, and he dragged Su Jingqing over there. Seeing Li Miao lying on the ground dying inside, Xiao Beihuai showed his face. smile.

"Open the door!"

The jailer hurriedly opened the cell door, and cleverly moved clean chairs for the two gentlemen to sit on.

Su Jingqing sat down, but Xiao Beihuai didn't, so he gave Li Miao two kicks when he went up, "Speak."

The doctor came to bandage Li Miao, and he knew kung fu, so he didn't die so easily, but he didn't want to talk to Xiao Beihuai, so he didn't respond to being kicked.

But Xiao Beihuai was in a bad mood now, and he didn't allow anyone to disobey him. Xiao Beihuai directly pinched Li Miao's severed arm, which had just been bandaged, "Ah!!!" Li Miao screamed miserably.

"Do you want to do it again on the other side?" Xiao Beihuai asked.

Li Miao sweated coldly from the pain, and looked at Xiao Beihuai with eyes full of resentment, "What do you want to know?"

"This king thought you were a tough guy." It was beyond his expectation.

"Simple, tell me who you are working with, and who is the man in black robe and where is it?"

Li Miao laughed loudly, but only intermittently, the sound was like a bellows, it was really ear-piercing.

"Your Highness Duke Huai, you are really greedy, you want to know everything."

"This seat already looks like this, the left and right are just dead, why tell you who your enemy is, and wait for them to avenge this seat, wouldn't it be better to kill you?"

Li Miao had a sneer on his face, as if he was laughing at Xiao Beihuai for being a fool.

Xiao Beihuai pinched Li Miao's wound again, Li Miao trembled in pain, but he didn't want to lose his momentum, so he gritted his teeth and didn't cry out.

Xiao Beihuai didn't care if he screamed or not, anyway, the screams were not pleasant, as long as Li Miao was in enough pain.

"If you want to die, there are countless ways to kill yourself. How can you hear me asking you? Don't be too harsh, or I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it, and you will die in pain."

"I've said it, is it possible that you can still let me go?" Li Miao began to negotiate conditions.

Xiao Beihuai pursed his lips, "Yes, as long as you tell the truth, I will let you out of the cell."

Li Miao was a little surprised, "Really?"

"No lie."

Li Miao began to hesitate, but Xiao Beihuai didn't want to give him too long time to think, "I count to three, you choose whether to die or live."

"one two three…"

"I say!"

Before the three characters were completely settled, Li Miao agreed, "However, in order to prevent you from cheating, I can only tell you who my subordinates are first. Tell you."

Xiao Beihuai nodded in agreement, "Yes." A person can kill one person.

"Actually, there are no people in black robes at all. He is just a substitute for me, a shadow who works for me."

"It's easy for you to find him. I once said that if I was accidentally arrested, let him find someone to cooperate and save me."

"His Highness Duke Huai is so smart, why don't you guess who he will seek cooperation with?"

Xiao Beihuai looked back at his concubine, Su Jingqing nodded at him, there are actually very few people who can hold Xiao Beihuai back in an open and honest manner, one is the emperor and the other is Xiao Yunyi.

Who it is is self-evident.

Xiao Beihuai let go of Li Miao, got up and walked out of the cell with Su Jingqing, it happened that he was not happy today, so just see some blood again.

Forecast: The matter of giving the marriage will be resolved tomorrow!
