"Sister Yun, did you send someone to seriously injure Lin Tao?" Zhi Lan looked up at Qing Yun with tear-filled eyes.

Qing Yun looked for a moment, then shook her head: "I didn't send anyone to seriously injure Lin Tao. I just asked Mo Xuan to delay his recovery and make him suffer more."

Zhi Lan must not let Zhi Lan know about that matter, otherwise her kind nature will put all the blame on herself.

If she didn't do this, who could hate Lin Tao so much?

The five people fell into deep thought at the same time.

Looking at Zhi Lan, who had a hint of melancholy in her brows, Qingyun said softly: "Anyway, it's a good thing that that person taught Lin Tao a lesson for you. Don't think too much about it, I will send someone to find out. Also. , you must tell me if anything happens in the future, but you can’t bear it alone anymore, otherwise I will be even more worried, you know?”

"I understand." Zhi Lan nodded heavily: "Sister Yun must also take care of herself."

"I will." Looking up at the gorgeous sunset in the gradually darkening sky, there is a bottomless depression in the light clouds and dark eyes.

She wants to take care of her body more urgently than anyone else. After all, the murderer who poisoned her mother has not yet been found, and the forces that threaten the safety of her father and the others have not yet been completely eradicated. But her dilapidated body, which may fall at any time, can persist. Until that day?

It has been almost a month since Long Ying left. For his safety, there has been no correspondence. I don’t know how he is doing now.

Also, are Bingying and his wife safe and sound?

Looking at Qingyun, who was frowning with deep sorrow and worry, Mo Xuan was filled with pity and determination.

No matter what the price is, he must find the medicine to eradicate her cold poison, and he will definitely eliminate the threats around her, so that she can enjoy a relaxed and comfortable life!

"Let's go, the emperor should be waiting impatiently."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Emperor Huiwen walking slowly in a dragon chariot, surrounded by Leng Yi, a group of palace maids, eunuchs, and guards.

Qingyun and Zhilan hurriedly calmed down and stepped forward to salute: "My daughter will see my father, may my father be blessed!"

Except for Mo Xuan who just bowed and bowed, Lu Ba and Qiu He both knelt down to salute, and the palace maids and eunuchs also saluted Qing Yun.

After getting off the dragon chariot and striding up to the two of them, Emperor Huiwen reached out to help them up. Emperor Huiwen said kindly: "Get up quickly." He then waved his hand to signal everyone to get down, then looked at the closed Yanqing Palace door, and then looked at it again. Zhi Lan, still in tears, finally looked at her beloved daughter: "Has Jiu'er visited the imperial concubine?"

"Yes." After briefly informing Emperor Huiwen about the concubine's condition and his own arrangements, Qingyun winked at Emperor Huiwen and hinted that Zhi Lan was here: "Father, please rest assured, Mo Xuan and Dr. Xu will try their best to treat the concubine. I believe that the imperial concubine will recover, and everyone must also take precautions to avoid infection."

Even the father knows about it, and presumably other people also know about the concubine's illness. I wonder what kind of panic it will cause?

Seeing the meaningful look in his beloved daughter's eyes, Emperor Huiwen immediately understood that there must be something fishy about this matter, but he also understood that this was not the place to talk, so he said solemnly: "Preach the decree, everyone is waiting to obey Jiu'er's orders. Anyone who disobeys the order." ,cut!"

"My slave obeys the order!" Leng Yi immediately accepted the order and left.

Then Emperor Huiwen took his beloved daughter's hand and stepped onto the dragon chariot first, then stretched out his hand towards Zhi Lan: "Lan'er, come up too."

Looking at the big and generous hands, Zhi Lan looked up at her father with a loving face, her expression was suddenly inexplicably excited, her beautiful eyes were gradually filled with crystal tears, she put her white plain hands into those big hands, and walked up to the dragon. Chaan sat on the other side of his father, his bare hands still gently held by his big hands, and the feeling of warmth and happiness always lingered in his body and mind.

From childhood to adulthood, although her father was not indifferent to her, he was not doting on her either. Every time she saw her father doting on and protecting Sister Yun so selflessly, it would be a lie to say that she was not jealous at all. She even saw Sister Yun being teased by the princes and princesses. Several times her life hung on the line, but she remained indifferent and even gloated about her misfortune.

Until she saw with her own eyes that Sister Yun had to endure cold poison torture at such a young age, and knew that her mother-in-law had hurt Sister Yun again and again, not only did she no longer feel any jealousy, but she even felt more pity for Sister Yun.

Remembering that she had secretly vowed to protect Sister Yun when she was a child, Zhi Lan became more determined in that idea.

Looking at Mo Xuan, who was following his beloved daughter, Emperor Huiwen's elegant face was calm, but his slender eyes were shining with an unknown edge.

Facing Emperor Huiwen's scrutinizing gaze calmly, Mo Xuan's whole body was like the rising full moon in the sky at this time, looking so quiet and calm.

The group of people came to the imperial garden. The courtiers and family members had been waiting for a long time. When they saw this, they all knelt down to salute.

Seeing Zhi Lan sitting next to Emperor Hui Wen, the expressions of both the Prime Minister and Mrs. Lin changed. Thinking that their family was still suffering from pain and torture, and their son was half a cripple, Mrs. Lin was certain that this little bitch instigated others to seriously injure the baby. My son, I can't help but feel resentment in my eyes.

Seeing the Sixth Brother's family being happy and happy, the Third Emperor's Wife was chatting with the Third Brother in a low voice, with a slight smile on her eyebrows. The melancholy of the past was completely gone. Qingyun felt deeply relieved. Below were the Fifth Brother and the Eighth Brother. , although they were drinking with each other, they looked behind her and at the table of Protector Marquis from time to time. The obvious disappointment in her eyes made her couldn't help but purse her lips and snicker.

His eyes fell on Prince Zhongwu Gong Yuanhao, who was the first person on the right. Qingyun pretended not to know and asked, "King Zhongwu, why don't you see the crown prince?"

After hearing the inquiry, Gong Yuanhao stood up and saluted respectfully and said: "Going back to the Emperor's Ninth Princess, an urgent message came from home the day before yesterday saying that my mother was suddenly ill. Quanzi rushed back to the bedside to perform his filial piety, so he did not attend the banquet and invited the Emperor and Ninth Princess. Princess forgive me!"

"It's understandable that the Crown Prince wants to fulfill his filial piety, but the status of the Ninth Princess is so noble. The Crown Prince was absent from the banquet without informing the Emperor and the Ninth Princess in advance. Doesn't it mean that he doesn't take the Ninth Princess into consideration?" Qing Yun hadn't said anything yet, her character was The upright Pingyang Hou Zhou Ji had already opened his mouth to condemn.

"What Marquis Pingyang said is somewhat inappropriate." Wang Ninghai, the Marquis of Wu'an next to him, said slowly: "Our dynasty has always governed the world with filial piety, and we also say that when things are urgent, we must obey power. What is wrong with the eldest son returning to fulfill his filial piety? And even though the eldest son has left, Well, isn't King Zhongwu here? Wouldn't it be best for King Zhongwu to report to the Emperor and the Ninth Princess? How can you not respect the Ninth Princess? Besides, the Ninth Princess is known to the world for her benevolence and kindness, so she will naturally understand the prince's benevolence and filial piety. heart!"

After listening to their words, Qingyun Qingli always had a gentle smile on her face, but her eyes were as deep as the sea.

Pingyang Houming defended her dignity, but in fact he said that she was arrogant because of her father's favor. I really don't know whether he meant it or not? Or did he do it on purpose?

Marquis Wu An first excused Gong Yuanhao and his son on the grounds of great principles, and finally used the excuse of benevolence, virtue and purity to prevent her from criticizing Gong Yuanhao and his son. After all, so many people saw that Gong Yuanhao was still there, so this matter was serious. It's small, but if she doesn't handle it carefully, she will lose the support of the people!

These two people are not simple!

It's just that Gong Yuanhao has always lived in seclusion and has no contact with the court officials. Why do these two people who have always been incompatible with each other speak for Gong Yuanhao at the same time?

Did she overlook something?

"No matter how urgent it is to obey the authority, you won't even have time to report to the Emperor Ming and the Ninth Princess, right?"

"The person you love the most is sick. How can you care about others when you are so worried?"

"Okay!" She interrupted the two people who were quarreling with red faces. Qingyun looked directly at them who immediately stopped talking and lowered their heads, and said majestically: "Two important officials of the imperial court are actually arguing in public. How is it unbecoming?"

Ling Lie's tone shocked the two of them, and they knelt on the ground in a hurry: "Wei Chen is guilty, please punish the Ninth Princess!"

"Ninth Princess" Gong Yuanhao also hurriedly knelt down and said with a look of self-blame: "Everything is the fault of the old minister. I didn't expect that the two adults would have a dispute because of the old minister. I also ask the Ninth Princess to be magnanimous and spare the two of them." Sir, I am willing to shoulder the responsibility!"

Qing Yun's clear eyes moved between the three of them. Qing Yun pursed her lips slightly and remained silent for a long time. As time passed, the three of them couldn't help but become nervous. They couldn't guess how the Ninth Princess would deal with them, and everyone was also on tenterhooks. I was all sweating for them.

You must know that in the past half month from the New Year's dinner to now, the Ninth Princess has mercilessly eliminated many people from the Juechen Palace. All the courtiers who were involved with the Juechen Palace have also been beheaded in public, and their entire families have been beheaded. , or being exiled to the deserted Salmon Island. The sight of almost a river of blood still frightened them when they thought about it.

Who is not in awe or fear of the Ninth Princess who is so decisive and ruthless in killing?

I'm afraid tonight will be another terrifying night!

With a cold glance at the people with different expressions, Emperor Huiwen's slender eyes flashed with a sharp edge, and he gently held his beloved daughter's hand to give her silent support!

Feeling the warmth coming from her palms, Qingyun looked sideways at Emperor Huiwen and smiled, telling him not to worry, such small things could not hurt her at all.

Mo Xuan, who was sitting next to Qingyun, had coldness in his eyes and brows, and a deathly cold aura was circulating around him.

Green Amber's face was as cold as ice as he glared at the people below him.

The princess worked hard day and night to give these people a peaceful and prosperous life, but they didn't know what was good for them. It was simply abominable and hateful!

Sima Rui and Sima Xian, as well as Sima Qi and Sima Yue, who noticed the strange atmosphere, all stared at the three people kneeling on the ground, with ruthlessness and murderous intent as bright as blades in their eyes.

If they dare to be so disrespectful to their beloved Jiu'er, they are looking for death!

For a long time, Qingyun raised his eyebrows and looked at Marquis Pingyang and Marquis Wu'an, with a clear and majestic tone in his voice: "As an important minister of the imperial court, he doesn't want to be loyal to the country and share the worries of the emperor, but regardless of his status, he gets red-faced in the public fight. If It’s just a matter of national importance, but it’s a trivial matter that doesn’t deserve much attention. Is this how you should serve as a minister?”

"It concerns the dignity of the Emperor and the Ninth Princess. Isn't it a trivial matter?" Although Pingyang Hou muttered in a low voice, there were many people with profound skills present who could hear it clearly.

"Dignity?!" Qingyun, who had all the inner strength of Emperor Huiwen, also heard it clearly, and couldn't help but darken his face: "The dignity of my father and this palace depends on the peace of the country and the people, and on the heartfelt support and support of all the subjects. Loyalty is not such duplicitous flattery!

As far as I know, Pingyang Houji, who was the general of Dingyuan back then, was brave, good at fighting, and strict in character. How come he has learned to be ingratiating now? Could it be that he has lived a comfortable and prosperous life for a long time, and his character has also changed accordingly? ?

And you, Marquis of Wu'an, my father is thinking of you as a high-ranking official and a generous salary due to your merits from the dragon. Not only are you ungrateful, but you have tried your best to assist your father to benefit the people, but you have quarreled with Marquis Pingyang in public like a shrew in the market. You know what?

you

You have good intentions to calm down the storm, but those who don’t know better think you are King Zhongwu’s man. Otherwise, why would you keep excusing King Zhongwu? Doesn’t this make people question your loyalty? Where do you put King Zhongwu?”

When the two heard this, their faces turned pale with fright, and a large amount of cold sweat broke out on their foreheads: "I have no disloyal heart at all. I beg the emperor and the ninth princess to have mercy!" Their family members also knelt down and begged for mercy.

What a sharp-tongued Ninth Princess, every word of her sentence is bloody. If such a traitor is labeled, they will definitely die!

Others were also frightened and did not dare to take a breath.

Gong Yuanhao wanted to intercede for the two of them again, but the counselor behind him, dressed as a servant, stopped him at the right moment, shaking his head to signal him to wait and see what would happen.

For a moment, the entire banquet hall was silent, with only the cold moonlight shining lightly, and the cold wind blowing gently, making everyone feel more and more chilly!

"I believe you don't have any disloyal intentions, but what you did tonight really disappointed my father and me!" Qingyun's cool tone sounded even more chilling in everyone's ears: "However, I'm thinking of you.

You are the first offenders, and King Zhongwu intercedes for you again and

I have accepted it on my behalf. I will spare you this time. If there is a next time, I will never tolerate it! It is decreed that the Marquis of Pingyang will be named Pingyang Bo, and the Marquis of Wu'an will be named Wu Anbo. I will spend three months behind closed doors, cultivate my character, and take care of the affairs at hand.

It will all be left to the Taifu!"

Regardless of whether they were involved with King Zhongwu, she had to nip it in the bud. After all, it was related to her father's safety, especially since King Zhongwu had such an unclear relationship with the royal family, but she couldn't go too far.

"I would like to express my gratitude to the Emperor and the Ninth Princess for not killing me!" The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and then realized that they were actually breaking out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, they just lowered their titles and closed their doors to think about their mistakes. Although they lost the power in their hands, it was still better.

The whole family was slaughtered!

Everyone's hanging hearts finally dropped.

Fortunately, it was a false alarm, but it was a pity that the two of them were demoted and seized power just because of a few quarrels. It would be difficult for them to regain the respect of the emperor and the ninth princess. At the same time, I must be cautious in what I say and do in the future.

, otherwise the two marquises, no, the two uncles will serve as a lesson to others.

Gong Yuanhao's slightly drooped eyes flashed with an unknown light, and just as he was about to speak, Qingyun's cold voice came to his ears.

"As for King Zhongwu, if you have urgent matters at home and you have to leave, you can tell your father and me. Your father and I are not cold-hearted people. They will naturally allow you and your son to go back and fulfill your filial piety, but you can't hide it.

Even if you don’t report it, you still provoke a dispute between two courtiers. King Zhongwu, do you know your guilt?”
