Wishful Things

Xia Tingzhen finally looked away from the monastery, and then looked at the crowd.

In a hurry, Ji Xiu, who was only wearing a normal uniform, was surrounded by several officials talking at this time——

There was a sarcastic sneer in Xia Tingzhen's slightly narrowed eyes.

These officials thought they were very good at judging the situation, and thought that Ji Xiu had been in the limelight recently, and sent another confidant to the Ministry of Education, and this confidant was highly regarded by His Majesty...

In the final analysis, they are just a bunch of brainless fools who think they are smart.

And during this period of time, the things Ji Xiu took from him...it's time to return them.

...

In the meditation room, Emperor Qingming was looking coldly at King Xiang who kept defending.

"There are no outsiders at this time, only you and my brother, are you still unwilling to tell me the truth?"

"Brother Huang, this matter really has nothing to do with my brother!" King Xiang was already sweating profusely: "It must be someone who wants to separate my brother and my brother!"

Emperor Qingming pursed his lips.

Divorce?

Who would choose to do this?

"...According to my younger brother, it may not be because the second elder brother told the empress dowager, and performed such a play, deliberately slandering my mother and concubine."

Regarding this unfounded guess, the King of Xiang did not dare to be justified, and said in a weak tone: "It is clear that there is a gap in the past, but people can't see half of it, who knows what he is planning all day long... ...Perhaps it's because the emperor doesn't trust the younger brother alone, so he wants to use tricks to get rid of the younger brother."

Emperor Qingming sneered, not sure if he believed it or not.

At this time, Han Yan walked in quickly.

"Your Majesty, I found this thing in a locked box under the bed in Concubine Sun's room."

Holding a porcelain bottle in his hand, Han Yan said: "I have had Zheng Taiyi inspect it, and confirmed that the poison in this bottle is the same as the poison in the pear soup."

Looking at the porcelain bottle, Concubine Sun's eyes were shocked, and the blood on her face completely faded in an instant.

No wonder she wasn't cautious enough... She originally planned to go back to deal with the aftermath after delivering the pear soup!

But who knew that he was spotted by that damned maid on the spot!

She didn't have any time to hide the evidence!

Seeing her reaction in his eyes, Emperor Qingming already had a judgment in his heart.

He slowly looked at King Xiang standing there, and asked almost word for word: "Now, do you have anything else to say?"

The King of Xiang's face changed repeatedly, he opened his mouth, but failed to make a sound.

"Your Majesty, this matter was done by me alone... He must not know about it!"

Concubine Sun suddenly knocked her head heavily on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "It's because I have always hated the Empress Dowager because of the trivial things in the past, and I can't find a chance to do it in the palace on weekdays... I think it is a rare good opportunity to go out to sacrifice this time. , I did such a wrong thing in a moment of obsession!"

Emperor Qingming sneered and remained silent.

This mother is very competent in what she does.

It's a pity that he doesn't believe a word of these words!

"Mother Concubine, don't hide it for your son..." King Xiang finally spoke, and said in a hoarse voice, "It is your son who has caused you trouble."

"...Stop!" Concubine Sun shook her head at her son firmly, her eyes tearing open upon hearing this.

No, she is just such a son, and her son must never have an accident!

The King of Xiang had already knelt down, cold sweat dripping from the corner of his forehead: "Brother Emperor... This matter is indeed what I did..."

He is very clear about his eldest brother's disposition. At this time, if he continues to argue, he will really be seeking his own death.

Emperor Qingming sneered: "This is an admission."

In the next moment, this cold smile was suddenly put away, and suddenly he raised his hand, and his sleeves swept towards the tea set on the table next to his elbow.

"boom!"

The enamel colored porcelain teapot fell to the ground, and the broken porcelain splashed out.

"...I almost believed your nonsense just now!"

Facing the emperor's wrath, the King of Xiang prostrated himself on the ground, trembling, and said: "My brother did this... for the sake of the emperor..."

"For me?" Emperor Qingming squeezed out a weird smile from between his teeth, his eyes were extremely sinister: "For me, why do you want to poison the Empress Dowager? I'd like to hear, what good will this do for me!"

In vain, he always thought that even though the fourth brother was a little cautious, he was still under his control.

Now it seems that there should be no so-called trust between people in this world... Even these seemingly simple-minded idiots can't be trusted!

"Brother Huang is kind-hearted. He knows that the second brother has disobedience, but he is still just restraining..." King Xiang tried his best not to sound so trembling. Don’t dare to act rashly, but if things go on like this, it’s nothing more than breeding tigers for trouble!”

"So, you are going to take the initiative to kill the Queen Mother?" Emperor Qingming said in an extremely sarcastic tone, "Have you ever thought about the possible consequences of doing so?"

"Chendi...Chendi just wants Brother Huang to make up his mind and take this opportunity to get rid of Second Brother!"

"When will it be your turn to arrange my affairs!" Emperor Qingming was furious: "If you do this, you will only bring trouble to me and disrupt my original plan!"

Getting rid of King Yan... how could it be such a simple matter?

If it was really so easy, why did he have to wait until today!

What this idiot did is not so much forcing him to get rid of King Yan, but rather forcing King Yan to rebel as soon as possible...

In the current situation in Daqing, if one pulls it, the whole body will be affected. Such an unprepared event is tantamount to a sudden catastrophe. Once it happens, how will he deal with it?

Save the queen mother's life, even if it really comes to that point, at least it can be used as a hostage, so that the king of Yan will be afraid——

And such an important pawn was almost destroyed in the hands of this stupid thing tonight!

"Yes...it's my brother who is stupid, and I don't dare to pretend to be smart anymore!" King Xiang quickly admitted his mistake.

"No, I found out now, you are not stupid at all..."

Sensing the emperor's scrutiny coming from the top of his head, the king of Xiang prostrated there and gradually stiffened.

"For my sake? Or for your own dissatisfaction and personal grievances against King Yan, or your own self-interest? Only after he dies can you get more benefits and real power." Emperor Qingming's voice was slow and cold: "Fourth brother , You have learned how to kill with a knife now, I really admire you."

"My brother dare not..." King Xiang's voice was disturbed and weak.

Emperor Qingming closed his eyes: "I don't care what your purpose is, but once the disaster has happened, the evil consequences will be swallowed by yourself—"

"Brother Huang, I know I'm wrong, and I don't dare to make up my own opinion and act without telling Brother Huang!" The King of Xiang repeatedly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Brother Huang, please remember that my brother has not made a serious mistake yet. ...Give me one more chance! In the future, I will work harder for Brother Huang!"
