V1.C99

Under the red bricks and green tiles of Qingfeng hall, there is a courtyard full of white chrysanthemums. It's early autumn, and the white chrysanthemums just spit new stamens. It's very eye-catching in the still green trees. The courtyard was not big, but it was elegant and faded into the breeze.

A big tree is planted in the yard. The shade of the tree accounts for almost half of the yard. The simple swing hangs on the thick tree trunk and swings with the autumn wind from time to time. Under the shade of a tree, on the fine silk soft couch lies a woman in Imperial costume. Her eyes are slightly closed, her face is quiet, and her abdomen is slightly raised, which shows that the woman is pregnant. The two maids stood quietly behind her, their heads slightly lowered, and they were careful not to disturb the master's dream.

A woman in Purple Palace Dress, whose identity is obviously higher than that of other palace maids, hurried into the courtyard, walked to the woman, hesitated for a while, and said: "master, madam Louxiang has entered the palace from the north gate with a token."

When Louxiang's wife appeared at the gate of the palace with a token, a bodyguard came to report. As soon as Louxiang was in prison, she went to the palace to see her. I'm afraid it has something to do with it.

It turned out that the languid green maple suddenly opened her eyes, sat up straight on the soft couch, and said, "go and pick her up, take her to the Qingfeng hall, and be careful not to let other people see her."

"Yes." Poria cocos slightly bent over salute, quickly turned away.

Qingfeng gets up, and the maids behind her immediately step forward to help them, wave their hands, and let them back down. Qingfeng stares at the gate of the courtyard, holding hands together unconsciously.

After a while, Poria cocos leads Zhuo Qing into Qingfeng hall, and Qingfeng immediately greets her: "elder sister!"

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Zhuo Qing saw Qingfeng. She was still as thin as before, and her bulging abdomen was very prominent.

"Come with me." Holding her hand, Qingfeng took her into the house.

Two people into the inner room, green maple toward Poria cocos make a look, Poria cocos intelligent point, gently cover the door, quietly back out.

"Sister, are you ok?" My sister's eyes are slightly swollen and her face is too pale. She is always gentle and delicate. How can she stand such changes? Holding Zhuo Qing's hand tightly, Qingfeng seems a little excited.

Tap the hand of green maple, Zhuo Qing light smile: "I'm ok."

Qingfeng thinks Zhuo Qing is deliberately hiding sadness, sighs and comforts: "in fact, you don't have to worry too much about brother-in-law's case. Although Yan Hongtian was a tyrant, he was not a fatuous monarch. His brother-in-law, as the Prime Minister of a country, had always been his right arm. This case is really strange. You might as well wait and see what happens. " From Yan Hongtian's attitude last night, he didn't look like he was upset and angry about it. She always felt that there must be something else here.

Zhuo Qing shook her head firmly and said in a cold voice: "I can wait. Xiyan's body can't wait. He will live in the prison again. I'm afraid the case will be found out, and he will die soon. This time, I don't want to wait to die. " She believes that this matter will come out in the end, but she doesn't want to wait, especially after seeing sunset today!

Qingfeng micro Zheng, she has never seen such a persistent and firm light in her sister's eyes, in the past she always believed in fate, is Lou Xiyan changed her?

Sure she is serious, Qingfeng did not persuade her, directly asked: "what are your plans now? What do you want me to do? " Since my sister will come to her, she must have a plan.

Zhuo Qing's eyes swept over Qingfeng's stomach. When she got to her mouth, she swallowed it again. After hesitating for a while, she said, "I know it's not easy for you to live in the palace. What I ask you for is that you just have to do your best. It's just not enough. The most important thing is to protect yourself."

Qingfeng heart under a warm, always did not let go of Zhuo Qing's hand, a smile, back: "you don't worry, I will be careful. You can tell me what I need to do. " She once swore that she would repay those who were kind to her, and she would repay those who were hostile to her! In the past six months, Lou Xiyan has helped her many times. She has not forgotten that no matter what she asked today, she will do it!

Zhuo Qing leaned over and whispered for a while in Qingfeng's ear.

Qingfeng looks at Zhuo Qing in surprise. She originally thought that her elder sister wanted to ask her to plead with Yan Hongtian, but she didn't expect that she wanted to... Qingfeng's surprised eyes are on Zhuo Qing's bright eyes. She has such a trick. It's really not her impression of a simple and gentle elder sister.

Zhuo Qing asked in a low voice, "is that ok?"

Back to God, green maple nodded back: "I will do it."

"Thank you." Zhuo Qing got up: "I'll go first. Take care of yourself." She is very grateful to Qingfeng, but this sensitive moment, the longer she stays in the palace, the greater the impact on Qingfeng.

Qingfeng also immediately get up, ring Zhuo Qing's shoulder, tightly embrace her, but also just a very short, Qingfeng or rational let go: "you also want to take care."

They look at each other and smile. There is no need to say more.

The prime minister's study

"the bandits took out seven letters, five of which had the master's seal and two had the master's seal. Most of the content is to make the bandits recruit troops and buy horses for the purpose of treason. "

Although the noon sun was hot, the atmosphere in the study was very cold. The woman's eyes were cold. Every time Mo Bai said one more word, the woman's face was even colder."Besides the seal, are the notes checked?"

Mo Bai replied in a deep voice: "it has been checked. It's not the handwriting of the master and the master. However, Li Hongmin, the Minister of the Ministry of officials, and Yang Zexi, the imperial historian, insisted that treason was a crime of endangering the country and harming the imperial court. They advocated that the master should be put into prison immediately instead of conniving at carelessness."

Zhuo Qing takes a deep breath, picks up the tea on the table, sips it lightly, and covers her anger. Zhuo Qing looks at Jing SA and continues to ask, "what's the news from the criminal department?"

"Mr. Shan has stepped up the interrogation of the prisoners, but the two insist that the main messenger is the master."

"Bang Dang!" The teacup is heavily dropped on the short table. Zhuo Qing's hand holding the teacup is still slightly trembling because of anger, so things seem to be against her. Zhuo Qing waves her hand and says: "you step back first, I want to be quiet."

"Yes." Mo Bai and Jing SA retreat in silence.

In the quiet study, the tea juice falls to the ground drop by drop along the dwarf. Zhuo Qing rubs the temple lightly, and her tired face is gaunt.

Bai Yi walked by the door of the study, but he didn't go in for a long time. He was still considering whether she was the most helpless and vulnerable at this moment. Zhuo Qing's tired voice rang out from the study: "Bai Yi, sit with me for a while."

Bai Yi "Oh" went into the study, sat down on the chair next to Zhuo Qing, but did not rush to speak.

After a while, Zhuo Qingwei, who was always silent, closed her eyes and said to herself as if she had a deep meaning: "I've seen greed and shamelessness in human nature many times, and I also boast that I'm pure and righteous. But at this moment, I'm confused. Is it the principle or the heart that matters? What's the difference between me and them if I don't choose to act for my own purpose? "

What does she mean by that? Does that mean she's wavering? Bai Yi always feels that something is wrong, but he can't say it again. After hesitating for a while, he follows her and says: "sister ling'er, the imperial court is a dangerous place. Sometimes, you don't want to hurt others, but it doesn't mean others don't want to hurt you. More often, for the sake of their own interests, no one cares about the life or death of others. This is where the imperial court and the prime minister live. " At the same time, it's also the place where he lives. It's just the last sentence that he can't say to her.

Zhuo Qing suddenly opens her eyes and stares at Bai Yi. She asks coldly, "do you really think so?"

In the face of such a pair of eyes that seem to be able to see through people's hearts, Bai Yi's heart was beating up, secretly converging. Bai Yicai replied as usual: "well, if you really want to save him, you always have to make some sacrifices."

Quietly looking at him, for a long time, Zhuo Qing's back line of sight, a few inaudible sigh: "perhaps, you are right!"

Until she didn't open her eyes, Bai Yicai breathed a sigh of relief. He was just a woman's eyes. At that moment, he was flustered.

"I went to see the sunset today. The dust in the cell is flying and makes people gasp. He has relapsed from his old illness, and they still let him sleep on the straw! I can't let Xiyan stay in such a place! " Zhuo Qing stroked her forehead and sighed wearily and confusedly: "at present, the investigation by the Ministry of criminal justice is stagnant, and many officials in the imperial court are reluctant. Now I don't know what to do."

What you want is that you are at a loss and anxious! Zhuo Qing's unexpected reaction made Bai Yi feel a little trance just now. He was very happy, but he didn't show it on his face. He even comforted: "I heard that Shan Yulan of Qiongyue is an expert in solving cases. It will take some time for this case to come to light. "

Pause for a while, Bai Yi deliberately looked at Zhuo Qing, worried sigh: "but now the building phase body discomfort, I'm afraid, can't wait so long."

Sure enough, his voice just fell, Zhuo Qing already anxious heart is a tight, urgent way: "this is the reason why I am anxious! Bai Yi, what do you think I should do? "

The fish is on the hook! Bai Yi pretended to think for a while, then returned: "if you want to rescue the prime minister in the fastest way, you must divert the attention of those ministers. Lead the fire to Su Ling, and Lou Xiang will be the victim. He should be able to come out as soon as possible. "

Zhuo Qing obviously didn't agree: "although Su Ling and Xiyan are officials in charge of civil and military affairs, they don't have much contact on weekdays, but they are officials in the same Dynasty, and they are all in charge of their own affairs, so he won't frame Xiyan. This reason is far fetched, and it's not enough to divert the attention of the ministers."

Bai Yi secretly picks eyebrows, this woman really has some brains, otherwise he also disdains to play with her.

With a simple smile on his face, Bai Yi said with a smile: "elder sister ling'er, do you know what is the crime that is most likely to make him speechless as a general?"

"What?" Zhuo Qing asked.

"Fornication with the enemy. With this charge, he may frame the prime minister. " Bai Yi tries to speak in a soft and natural tone, which is the most favorable weapon for him to let Zhuo Qing relax her vigilance.

"It won't work." Zhuo Qing shook her head decisively: "the crime of adultery with the enemy will kill Su Ling, and I can't forge the evidence of his adultery with the enemy!"It seemed that she would have said this before. Bai Yi explained: "sister ling'er, don't worry. We don't want to kill general su. Everything is an expedient measure. The so-called secret communication with enemy countries only needs to forge a few letters of Su Ling's careful communication with other countries. As for the evidence, I have a way! "

Zhuo Qing asked, "what do you want to do?"

"I can have people forge several letters. You can try to seal one part of them with the seal of general Su, and I can seal the other part with my seal. Although it's not as convincing as the seal of my father, we didn't want to kill general su. My seal should be enough."

The important thing is how to get Su Ling's seal. He spent so much effort to lure Qing Ling to do it, because she might get the seal through her sister!

Zhuo Qing thought with a low eyebrow, and finally shook her head: "I don't think it's right to do this. First, you are still in the dome. Once I hand in the so-called evidence, you are in danger. You help me, I can't hurt you! Second, it's impossible to get such an important thing from the general's office! "

"You don't need a general's seal for a private letter, just a personal seal that Su Ling usually uses." Bai Yi shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "during my stay in Qiongyue, thanks to you and Lou Xiang, I'm very happy to help you. As for me, you don't have to worry. When everything is ready, I'll go back to Liaoyue. They can't help me. Besides, it is because I live in the prime minister's residence that you can better explain that you found these letters in my luggage. Anyway, I will have left by then, and there is no proof of my death! "

"Well, let me think again, think again!" Zhuo Qing kept rubbing her fingers, showing her inner contradiction and anxiety. Looking at her walking back and forth in the study, Bai Yi's black eyes flashed slightly, across a touch of light satisfaction and joy.

She is already flustered, as long as add a fire, also afraid that she does not obediently submit! "Elder sister ling'er, don't worry. If you think this method is not good, we'll think about it slowly. Maybe we can come up with other ways to save the Prime Minister of the building. The Prime Minister of the building is very lucky. We can make it through!"

Bai Yi catches Zhuo Qing's most important point. Sure enough, as soon as he mentions the building, Zhuo Qing, who is still in suspense, grits her teeth and says, "do as you say! Write it now

In the small garden in front of Xixia hall, only a few clusters of beautiful yellow chrysanthemums are blooming. A woman in dark purple clothes is holding scissors and carefully pruning the branches and leaves. Her face looks gentle and loving with a gentle smile.

The old lady walked briskly, saluted behind her and said, "master.".
