"If I guess correctly, they are the remnants of Juechen Palace!" Qingyun's expression was calm, and her dark eyes were as deep as the sea.

She indeed arranged for Dai Kun to use gambling and debts to lure out the secret rebels, but there was no news, so she and Chen Yu agreed to repeat the same trick.

Unexpectedly, news came from Dai Kun after dinner, so he decided to use his plan. However, he didn't expect that the people who arrived were not the rebels hiding in the secrets, but the remnants of the Juechen Palace. This was really a deliberate attempt to cause trouble. , unintentionally planting willows to create shade.

Don't ask her why she concluded that these people were from Juechen Palace. It was her intuition. After all, she had not dealt with people from Juechen Palace once or twice.

Gong Yingjie was startled, looked at Qingyun, and then looked at the man in black next to him called An Qi: "Are you really the remnants of Juechen Palace?"

The man in black snorted disdainfully, always staring at Qingyun and threatening: "Ninth Princess Bingxue is indeed smart and she guessed right. We are indeed from Juechen Palace. Now he is in our hands. If Ninth Princess doesn't want him, If you want to be buried with me, let me go!" As he said that, he exerted a slight force on his hand, and a stream of blood flowed out from Gong Yingjie's neck.

"Let them go!"

Before Qingyun said anything, a deep and vigorous voice suddenly sounded, and then Emperor Huiwen, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, strode forward surrounded by Leng Yi and a group of eunuchs and maids. Behind him were more than a dozen court ministers. .

Looking at Emperor Huiwen who came to him, Qingyun had a fleeting look of regret in her eyes. How could she have forgotten that this was the inner courtyard of the palace, and any disturbance could not be hidden from her shrewd and wise father.

Taking Situ Jingyu and others a few steps forward to meet Emperor Huiwen, Qingyun bowed and said, "My son, I am here to see my father. It's so late, why hasn't my father gone to bed yet?"

The purple-clad guards and the Imperial Guards were still surrounding Gong Yingjie and other black-clad men with eager eyes.

Reaching out to help his beloved daughter up, and holding her cold hand, Emperor Huiwen scolded: "I was discussing political affairs with the ministers. I heard from the guards that something happened here, so naturally I wanted to come and take a look. But you, it's cold at night, why aren't you here?" How can I have a good rest in my bedroom? If I catch a cold because of this, how can I feel at ease?"

"My son also heard a secret report from the secret guard, saying that someone broke into the palace at night and tried to kidnap the imperial criminals, so he came to find out. Unexpectedly, my father was worried, because my son was unfilial." Qingyun quietly said to Emperor Huiwen playfully. Blinked his eyes.

"You...I really don't know what you should say?"

Gently scraping Qingyun's pretty nose, Emperor Huiwen understood in his heart that what happened tonight was definitely arranged by his beloved daughter. However, his face did not show it at all. Instead, he showed doting and helplessness. He took off his cloak and gently draped it over his face. on his beloved daughter, and then looked at Zike and Lu Ba: "Take good care of the princess."

Zike and Lvbo responded in unison.

Emperor Huiwen then turned his eyes and looked at the group of men in black who were surrounded on all sides, and said majestically: "I can let you go, but you must promise not to harm Gong Yingjie, otherwise I will never spare you!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, as long as I am safe, I will ensure that Gong Yingjie comes back intact."

With such a good hostage in hand, the man in black became more and more emboldened. He suddenly thought of something strange and asked: "The emperor is so protective of Gong Yingjie. Could it be that he has the same purpose as me, which is to get Gong Yingjie into the hands of the imperial court?" Evidence that the minister is colluding with Amuguro?"

Emperor Huiwen raised his brows slightly and looked calmly at his beloved daughter beside him: Is this what Jiuer is doing?

With her lips moving slightly, Qingyun said silently: No! It was only during the day that I learned that Gong Yingjie had evidence in his hand!

That’s it! Emperor Huiwen nodded, and then looked at the man in black without comment.

The expressions of the dozen or so ministers standing behind Emperor Huiwen all changed drastically, and some of them were even frightened.

It turns out that Gong Yingjie actually holds such an important thing in his hands!

Lin Bingquan's eyes flashed with a cold, bloodthirsty glow, and he regained his composure in an instant, quietly winking at Mei Hanqiu, Minister of Industry.

Mei Hanqiu immediately understood, took a step forward and bowed to Emperor Huiwen: "Your Majesty, Gong Yingjie and his son committed extremely heinous crimes by plotting to usurp the throne. The traitors from Juechen Palace broke into the palace at night and robbed the imperial court. They are even more audacious. Once the tiger is released, there will be endless troubles." , Your Majesty, please think twice!”

"Your Majesty, think twice!" After Mei Hanqiu finished speaking, several ministers among them echoed.

"Master Mei's words are really inappropriate." Han Jingwen, who had been an official for many years, also figured out some of Emperor Huiwen's thoughts.

No matter whether Gong Yingjie really has evidence that some people are colluding with Amugu Lang, Gong Yingjie cannot die, at least not now.

"Gong Yuanhao committed a heinous crime of plotting to usurp the throne, but he had already confessed his crime and died at the hands of his own people. Considering that he held the gold medal for immunity from death given by the late emperor, the emperor ordered Gong Yingjie to be imprisoned for life, which punished Gong Yingjie. , and fully demonstrated the emperor’s benevolence and magnanimity;

Gong Yingjie's crime of escape was increased to one level, and he would be dealt with according to the law later. However, Master Mei advised the emperor to execute Gong Yingjie at this time, which inevitably made people suspect that the evidence in Gong Yingjie's hands implicated Master Mei, so Master Mei had to wait for an opportunity to kill someone with a knife. , Master Mei, do you think so?"

"You..." Mei Hanqiu became angry but was speechless.

"Taifu Han's words are serious." Xiong Fei, the Minister of War, said righteously: "Master Mei is loyal to the emperor, how could he do such things as collaborating with the enemy and treason? Besides, Gong Yingjie was a repeat offender of the imperial court, but he tried every means to escape. He had ulterior motives. Even if we kill him and the rest of the evildoers at this moment, it is both reasonable and reasonable."

Han Jingwen shook his head and said: "I don't agree with Master Xiong's words. The emperor has said so eloquently to let them go. No matter what the reason is, if Gong Yingjie suddenly dies tonight and the news spreads, those with ulterior motives will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble and instigate The subjects who don’t know the truth accuse the emperor of reneging on his promise. When the time comes, whether it’s Master Mei or Master Xiong, can you bear this responsibility?”

"Taifu Han is simply alarmist!"

"Whether this is alarmist or not, I believe the two adults and everyone present are well aware of this."

"you......"

Mei Xiong and Xiong Fei both knelt down in front of Emperor Huiwen. Xiong Fei hurriedly defended: "Your Majesty, we are very loyal. Please understand clearly!"

Glancing at Lin Bingquan, who had his head lowered and couldn't see his expression clearly, Qingyun's lips flashed with a ghostly sneer, and he tugged on Emperor Huiwen's sleeves without revealing any trace. When Emperor Huiwen looked over, he winked meaningfully. Eye.

Emperor Huiwen understood that his beloved daughter had other plans, so he said majestically: "Get up." After the two of them stood up, he continued: "I know the loyalty of you two, and I also believe that Taifu Han is just discussing the matter and not targeting you two. Don't take it to heart, both of you, after all, they are all for the sake of the country, the country, and there is no need to create any suspicion because of a repeat offender of the imperial court."

Even though they hated Han Jingwen in their hearts, Mei Xiong and Xiong could only respectfully say with Han Jingwen: "Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!" Gong Yingjie suddenly said: "The guilty minister did not escape, they were the ones who forcibly abducted the guilty minister. Please tell me from your Majesty!"

Anyway, no one knows about his conversation with the man in black at Ice Spring Palace, not to mention that he is now being held hostage by the man in black, and the emperor and the ninth princess still want to get the evidence. As long as he insists that he has nothing to do with this matter, he Then he would be able to escape this disaster without any danger, and at the same time have the capital to bargain with the emperor and the ninth princess.

"Shut up!" He reached out and tapped Gong Yingjie's acupuncture point. The man in black turned to look at Qingyun and said arrogantly: "Ninth Princess, how about we make a deal?"

"Tell me and listen." Qingyun's expression was calm with a hint of indifference, and her clear eyes were as deep as the sea.

The man in black thought he had grasped Qingyun's weakness, so he said proudly: "Princess Ninth hand over Hall Master Huo and Hall Master Mei and leave with us. When we are safe, she will naturally return Gong Yingjie and the evidence in his hand to Jiu Princess, this way the Ninth Princess can eradicate those who collaborate with the enemy, I wonder what the Ninth Princess wants?"

"Hall Master Mei can leave it to you. As for Hall Master Huo, he is already dead."

"What did you say?" All the men in black changed their expressions, staring at Qingyun with murderous intent flashing in their eyes: "Did you kill Hall Master Huo?"

Qingyun nodded with a smile and said: "The Lord of the Fire Hall took the initiative to reveal many secrets about the Juechen Palace, which is why your plans failed every time. Even the old nest was razed by the people sent by this palace. People like this who betrayed the master You villain, I killed him for you, you should be grateful to me."

"you......"

The men in black all had ferocious and twisted expressions. Unexpectedly, Hall Master Huo actually betrayed Juechen Palace, which led to their successive disastrous defeats during this period.

When they heard that Qing Yun actually killed the traitor without mercy, even the person who betrayed the enemy, some of them's faces instantly turned strange and pale, and they looked at Qing Yun with complicated and fearful eyes.

"It's obviously unfair to you to exchange Hall Master Mei for Gong Yingjie." Seeing the confused and guarded look of the man in black, Qingyun raised her lips and said lightly: "Well, I will give you another Zuo Guardian."

"Guardian Zuo is still alive?" The man in black looked horrified and doubtful: Didn't the news say that Guardian Zuo and Yuan Dong were both dead? How could it be?

"Guardian Zuo was indeed poisoned, but I wanted to get the secret of Juechen Palace from her, so I asked Mo Xuan to save her. But she would rather die than betray Juechen Palace, so I can't keep her. It’s of no use, so I’ll just give it back to you so that you don’t waste my precious medicinal materials every day.”

After saying that, Qing Yun glanced at Yun Fei. Yun Fei left quickly with four purple guards. In less than a cup of tea, two purple guards escorted Hall Master Mei, and the other two purple guards carried a stretcher. Sui Yunfei is back again.

Looking at the once beautiful and charming Hall Master Mei, now his appearance has been ruined, his expression is haggard and thin, and his appearance has completely changed. His whole person is as dull as a puppet and unaware of the outside world. The face of the man in black has become cold and cold. The eyes staring straight at Qingyun were flashing with bloodthirsty murderous intent and cruelty: "What did you do to Hall Master Mei?"
