The emperor stared fixedly at Xiao Yi Bei, then said slowly, "Xin Yingning, the president of the military, was impeached long ago. Her corruption was restrained, and she had the authority to form a clique, but because there wasn't enough evidence, he was only found to be weak. "I want you to handle this nail. You need to remove it by its roots."
On the one hand, he had removed his authority as a military attaché. On the other hand, he was wary of the possibility that the Empress's fall from power might cause him to get into trouble in his defense strategy. On the other hand, he had ended his confusion regarding the allocation of military rations and fodder.
At the same time, the military command was decided by the Ministry of War, the Prime Minister, and the Central Book Order. Once Xin Yining descended from this position, he would have to face the fact that he could no longer participate in the military command operation.
It sounds like transferring the Minister of War to the Board of Punishments sounded like a transfer, but in reality, it might have been a trap for the Emperor.
Xiao Yi Xiu's heart shook slightly, but his gaze never left Xiao Yi Bei. He didn't seem to understand, and continued to grimace from time to time.
The Emperor sighed silently and looked away in disappointment.
Xiao Yi Xiu looked down and saw that Xiao Yi Bei's hands were still struggling in vain. However, when he heard the news, he stopped for a moment and trembled.
"The second thing, for Bei'er to become like this, is not my wish. No matter how unkind he is, he is still my biological son … Your wife, Li Yue, is famous for moving the capital. Her medical skills are like that of a god, why don't you let her take a look and see if Bei'er still has any hope of being cured? "
Xiao Yi Xiu paused for a moment and said, "This is not easy."
The emperor indifferently swept a glance at him. "Could it be that the Li Yue in your residence … Is it fake? "
"Royal father has seen her true appearance. Whether she's real or fake, there should be a judgement." Xiao Yixiu asked the Emperor in a tone that was neither light nor heavy.
The emperor slightly narrowed his eyes without making a sound. Although Li Yue was Gu Qingxiao, when did the Prime Minister's daughter have such a high level of medical skills? He was still puzzled.
"Li Yue is pregnant, so her movements will be inconvenient. Why don't you bring the second brother back to the Residence of Mo to have a look?"
Only then did the Emperor understand the meaning behind his words. After thinking for a while, he said, "That's fine, I can trust you."
Xiao Yi Bei was lifted up by the guards and carried out of the palace along with his easy-going chair. He even stuffed a piece of cloth in his mouth to prevent him from biting anyone.
However, Xiao Yi Xiu didn't follow. He went to the side hall and stood by the window to look inside.
Du Ying was as beautiful as ever. Her black hair was piled up in clouds, her skin was snow-white, and she wore an old shirt that had been washed until it was slightly white. She exuded the elegance of the past, but her temperament was still calm and peaceful.
She sat by the piano peacefully, her fingers moving, the notes flowing away like clouds, as if nothing could affect her beauty and grace.
"Miss Du."
Du Ying raised her eyes to look at him and smiled peacefully.
Xiao Yi Xiu also smiled, "Miss Du is indeed a girl named Zhuge. I hope you won't regret it."
Du Ying's smile froze for a moment, and her eyes dimmed.
Xiao Yi Xiu leaned his body to sit at the entrance of the carriage, then he looked outside the carriage before turning back to look at Xiao Yi Bei. He smiled and asked, "Second Imperial Brother, do you feel wronged?"
Xiao Yi Bei blankly roared in a low voice.
"Actually, you are already very lucky. In the first half of your life, with mother's help, you paved a smooth path. If it were not for your lack of treasure, I'm afraid no one would have been able to take you down. Was it too early to say the rest of her life? However, your fate seems to have come to an end. Du Ying is an intelligent woman, born in a brothel and trapped in prison, she can still get you a chance to free yourself, and can even help you shake Xiao Yijin's foundation. But she doesn't have any more ability to help you regain her position as Crown Prince. "
Xiao Yi Bei's gaze rapidly changed, and he suddenly showed his teeth at Qin Lie like a hungry beast.
"Second Imperial Brother, you don't have to waste your energy in front of me. You may not know this, but Ah Yan has already left the East Abyss. No one knows where he went. Following that, if Xin Yingning were to fall, you should be able to predict what royal father's next move would be. "
Xiao Yi Bei couldn't help but shiver, and his eyes couldn't help but reveal a look of fear.
"Royal Father wants to cripple you, and you can live because you are still his bloodline — but he will not give you freedom. If you continue to be foolish, he will be a lot more at ease. So when he asked me to bring you back to the manor, he didn't really want me to find Li Yue to cure you, but to let you fall into an eternal madness. He gave me the chance to deal with you in the name of justice. "
"Shut up!"
"Shh!" Second royal brother, don't get too worked up. This is the main road of the capital. " Xiao Yi Xiu put his index finger to his lips.
Although Xiao Yi Bei was trembling and his voice was filled with rage and insanity, he suppressed it and said in a low voice, "Xiao Yi Xiu, you …" Just how much do you know? "
"I know you want to live, and if you want to live better, the only option is to work with me."
Xiao Yi Bei sneered repeatedly and then said, "What's the difference between you and Xiao Yi Jin and Xiao Yi Mo? Cooperation with you? "Asking for a favor?"
As he spoke, he arrived at the entrance of the Mo King's Manor. Xiao Yi Xiu shook his hand and said, "Let's talk about our matters later. The Mo King's Manor is not safe. Remember to maintain a crazed look on your face."
He slowly walked out of the carriage and ordered someone to carry the unfettered chair into the manor.
Along the way, Xiao Yi Bei struggled and shouted, causing all sorts of nonsense to attract the attention of the guards and servants in the mansion. They were all extremely astonished; they didn't expect the overweeningly arrogant former crown prince to become like this.
The three new wives and Gabriella were watching them from afar. Xiao Yi and Bei Feng were smiling at them with their blood-red eyes. They looked like beasts that were about to devour a human. All of them had a terrified look on their faces.
Xiao Yi Bei was placed in the side room of Feng Zhixuan.
Just as Xiao Yixiu tookhiss seat, Gu Qingli followed him in. He was dressed in red, and her slightly protruding lower abdomen was very distinct.
Xiao Yi Bei stared fixedly at her lower abdomen, his eyes filled with doubt and distrust.
"Crown Prince, oh, you're wrong. You should be called Second Prince." Gu Qingli smiled. After the crown prince had been crippled, he didn't even have a title of throne, so she could only call him the second prince.
"Who are you?" Xiao Yi Bei was extremely vigilant, subconsciously avoiding her hand that was reaching for his pulse.
Gu Qingli didn't pay any attention to him. She continued to extend her hand, and her movements were as quick as lightning as she descended. Although Xiao Yi Bei tried to dodge, his hands and feet were tied up. She quickly opened several acupoints and laid there stiffly, glaring at her.
"You … Are you Li Yue or Gu Qingxiao? "
"Is there any difference?" Gu Qingli indifferently sat beside him and began taking his pulse.
In fact, she was very clear that Xiao Yi Bei was not sick and his mind was very normal. He was pretending to be vicious and crazy.
"Yes!" Xiao Yi Bei growled. "You're not Gu Qing Xiao at all. How could Gu Chaoran have a daughter like you?"
Gu Qingli's heart stirred as she stared at him. "Why are you so sure that I'm not Gu Qingxiao?"
"Hahahaha …" Xiao Yi Bei raised his head and laughed, "Because I understand Gu Chaoran. After so many years, everyone wanted to fight for him, but he was never impartial … Xiao Yixiu, have you ever thought about what kind of heart he has in marrying Gu Qing Li to you and Gu Qing Ruo to Xiao Yi Mo? You may all think that he is a fence-sitter and try to curry favor with him, but I know that that is not the case! "He is not a prince, nor is he a stranger, nor is he a member of the royal family, nor is he a member of the royal family."
Xiao Yi Xiu replied quietly, "He's the same as Prince Li. He's my father's trusted aide."
"No, no, no …" Xiao Yi Bei shook his head. "Mother said that there is a mysterious power backing him …" Even royal father doesn't know. He used his daughter as a pawn and married you, partly to calm your hearts and partly to get to know you from the side. In his eyes, every daughter is a tool that can be used. If Gu Qingxiao really is Li Yue, how can he let her marry you? "
A ripple appeared in Xiao Yi Xiu's eyes. He was shocked to discover that Xiao Yi Bei was perhaps not as mediocre and useless as he seemed to be in the eyes of outsiders.
Perhaps he was not good enough for the title of Crown Prince, but a person who had once been made Crown Prince would never do so just because he was the eldest son.
"Second Imperial Brother is telling me all this because he wants to cooperate with me?"
Xiao Yi and Bei Bei calmed down and seemed to be deep in thought.
