Xia Wei received a letter from a pigeon at home, and learned that the Empress Dowager sent all the officials to seek medical advice.
If he doesn't show up at this time, he will certainly be criticized. Putting on his official uniform, he comes here in a hurry.
In order to show his loyalty, we can only push Xia Yiyi out as a scapegoat for today's plan. Who let her not be manipulated by him!
Once in the emperor's bedroom, Xia Wei feels that the atmosphere is not right. After greeting each other, he stood beside the queen.
His action made the Empress Dowager frown.
At this time, all the princes are trying to win over the ministers, hoping to get more support and get the throne.
Isn't it?
The Empress Dowager touched the corners of her mouth. She was contemptuous in her heart, but she didn't show half a cent on her face.
"Prime minister Xia is here now. Have you found the antidote?" The Empress Dowager was not accountable.
What happened to the emperor in Xiafu, under normal circumstances, he should also be put into prison, after all, he has the crime of dereliction of duty.
The Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager did not know whether they were dizzy or worried, so they didn't ask questions.
This makes several princes standing in the bedroom have more speculation.
"Empress dowager, I'm guilty! If it wasn't for Xia Yiyi's lack of vision, he would not have brought home the evil of Xia Yiyi's ambition, so that the emperor is still in danger. "
Xia Wei more said more excited, plop a kneel on the ground, tears look really some worthy of sympathy.
"This must be Xia Yiyi's doing, because she always harbors a grudge in her heart. Making such a move this time must be to plant the blame on Xia Fu. "
Xia Wei said this, but also sad from the heart, gas of paralysis sitting on the ground, said while beating his chest.
This time tosses down, everybody also understood, Xia Wei this is wants to take out oneself.
The empress subconsciously moved forward and wanted to get rid of him.
The fifth Prince suddenly stood up and said, "empress dowager, after my palace arrived at Xia's house, I was with Xia Yiyi all the time, and I didn't find anything suspicious. The wine that the emperor drinks is Xia mansion servant girl to take to come over, have not passed Xia Yi's hand at all
"Oh?" The Empress Dowager did not expect that the fifth prince, who usually looked very intelligent, would speak for Xia Yiyi at such a time.
In this case, everyone is afraid to avoid, he even stood up to prove Xia Yiyi's innocence?
This surprised the Empress Dowager.
"Zhuo'er, who do you think should have done this?" The Empress Dowager's loving face didn't mean to be angry.
"Empress dowager, it's the critical moment to smelt iron. How can Xia do anything to hurt his father. This kind of thing, not to mention the intelligent Xia adults, is not a servant girl slave to do so
With that, the fifth Prince bowed his head and waited respectfully for the punishment of the Empress Dowager.
He knew in his heart that if Xia Yiyi had nothing to do, she would be his powerful help from now on.
"What zhuo'er said is reasonable, but if you want to convince the public, you must come up with evidence. Since you want to rehabilitate her, I'll leave the emperor's case of poisoning to you. How about that? "
The Empress Dowager also wants to test Huang Puzhuo's ability to see if he really has the ability to take the throne.
The fifth Prince raised his head. His eyes were very complicated. He was surprised, grateful and reverent.
"Huangpu Zhuo will live up to the great expectations of the Empress Dowager." The fifth Prince knelt down to thank him.
"Prime minister Xia, it happened in Xia's mansion, and it's related to you. The mourners feel that there is no death penalty, but there must be a living sin. Otherwise, they will not be able to stop the people. "
The Empress Dowager said, looking at Li Gonggong, "pass my will, because of prime minister Xia's dereliction of duty, leading to the emperor intoxicated, unconscious, guilty of dereliction of duty, cooperate with the fifth prince to find the real murderer, do not participate in government."
The Empress Dowager said that not only Xia Wei was stunned, but also several princes were stunned.
Don't you mean not to take part in the government affairs and to be dismissed from office?
The Empress Dowager wants to put Xia Wei on the air. Does she suspect that it has something to do with him?
The broad sleeves of the official uniform blocked his hands that he held tightly together. The faint pain in the palm of his hand restored his mind.
"Thank the Empress Dowager for not killing me!" Xia Wei's face was full of gratitude, but she scolded the Empress Dowager a hundred times in her heart.
The Empress Dowager stood up and walked to Xia Wei, but she stretched out her hand to help him up.
The empress coldly twitched the corner of her mouth. The Empress Dowager's move was a unique one.
Slap a sweet jujube, Xia Wei has to swallow his teeth now.
The Empress Dowager changed her hand from holding it to patting it. She patted it on Xia Wei's shoulder. "Wei Qu, Prime Minister Xia!"
Xia Wei dumb eat Coptis, have bitter can't say, "the next official will do his best to help the fifth prince, find the murderer of the emperor."
"Empress dowager, it's time for dinner, do you think?" Mr. Li asked carefully.Now the emperor is lying in bed in danger, and no one wants to eat. But the Empress Dowager is old. If she is hungry, he will be guilty of any mistake!
"Put it! It happens that everyone is here, so let's all stay and use it together! " The Empress Dowager knew that if they were driven away, they would go back to their own yard, but they were not at ease.
If you want to stay, stay!
Xia Wei is very witty, "I'll leave."
The Empress Dowager turned and walked to the imperial concubine chair behind her
Xia Wei respectfully quit the emperor's bedroom, he did not do any stay, quickly out of the palace.
When he got into his carriage, he opened the curtains and looked in the direction of the dungeon with a cold smile.
Isn't the Empress Dowager going to check? If Xia Yiyi is dead, is it dead without proof?
If those people didn't want the secret recipe of smelting iron, he would have killed Xia Yiyi, and confirmed the fact that she was the murderer.
Now, this matter has endangered his position, and the money given by those people has become unimportant to him!
Without the position of prime minister, he has no chance to make money.
It's better to set up the secret recipe of Xia Yiyi smelting iron, and then kill him. This is the best of both worlds!
Xia Wei more think more happy, he seems to forget, Xia Yiyi is his granddaughter.
As soon as the carriage entered Xiafu, a young man came running, "prime minister, are you back? The guests are waiting for you in the study! "
Xia Wei a listen to the small Si say guest, eyebrow unconsciously wrinkled. Now the wind is so tight, they go back and forth, what are they going to do.
It's obvious that they are incompetent. For such a long time, they can't put words into a woman's mouth.
Now people have been brought to the palace, they come to find him, what good way can he have!
Now they are not allowed to participate in the government. They have done him a lot of harm. It's endless!
Xia Wei black face into the study.
