As the two chatted, the topics became more and more outrageous, and finally they began to discuss the development direction of Dugu Yan's children after they got married. Dugu Yan quickly got into it and began to lead a married life like scolding Fang Qiu and giving advice.
Qian Renxue listened and nodded from time to time, playing the role of a good audience.
The two chatted for a long time. After counting the time, it was almost time for Qian Renxue to leave. After bidding farewell to Dugu Yan, she returned to her mansion. However, before leaving, Qian Renxue noticed that many people suddenly appeared around Dugu Yan's house. A high-level soul master...
After arriving at the mansion, Qian Renxue summoned Golden Crocodile Douluo and others.
Soon these Douluo heard the sound and came.
"Your Highness the Saint, what are your orders?" Jin Crocodile bowed respectfully and stood in front of Qian Renxue with a serious look on his face.
"Does Dugu Bo's matter have anything to do with you?" Qian Renxue asked.
She has long been aware of her mother's plan to infiltrate the Tiandou Empire. The location where Golden Crocodile, Guang Ling, Snake Spear, Arkham Douluo and other important high-level officials of Wuhun Palace live wraps up the Tiandou royal family. It is obvious that He planned to take action against the Tiandou royal family.
But now, the Dugu Bo incident has emerged. Although on the surface it has nothing to do with Wuhun Palace, who knows whether they will contribute to it.
Golden Crocodile Douluo may have known about this situation for a long time, and he also handed over the truth of the matter that he was ready to investigate.
"Your Highness, the Dugu Bo incident was completely a conspiracy of Emperor Xue Ye. He discovered that Dugu Bo had a deal with Wuhun Palace and had targeted Dugu Bo a long time ago. This time, he just took advantage of the saint's absence, so Just moved my hand."
Qian Renxue took the document and said, "The fact that Emperor Xueye would choose such a foolish approach must have something to do with you, right?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo smiled: "Her Royal Highness the Saint is indeed smart. We changed some things in the agreement between Dugu Bo and us, deliberately letting Emperor Xue Ye see it, and he made this choice."
Qian Renxue holds her forehead...
After all, does Wuhun Palace feel sorry for Dugu Bo?
I have really wronged Senior Dugu. After this incident, I’d better compensate him with something, and also prepare a copy for Dugu Yan...
"Yes, I understand. It's okay. Thank you, Grandpa Jin Crocodile."
"My subordinates resign."
Qian Renxue took out the investigated documents, read them carefully, then put them away and burned them...
The truth of this matter has come out. It is a conspiracy of Emperor Xue Ye against Dugu Bo. Most of the royal nobles can see it and quickly take the opportunity to draw a clear line with Dugu Bo. Only Dugu Bo is still investigating without thinking. The real culprit is trying to clear his name.
But what Emperor Xue Ye wanted was not innocence, but Dugu Bo's life, to use his life to frighten his colleagues who were vacillating in speculation!
In other words, this time, whether Dugu Bo can find the truth or not, Emperor Xueye will use various reasons to convict him and then terminate him.
It's really ridiculous. A dignified and titled Douluo worshiped by the empire is not even worthy of more trust in the eyes of this group of people, not to mention that Dugu Bo has always been the biggest trump card of Emperor Xue Ye's pro-emperor faction.
Now, he has been framed by someone he trusted most. This ending can be described as too dramatic, and it also demonstrates the true meaning of the emperor's ruthlessness.
No matter how loyal you are and how much you have dedicated to me for the empire, as long as I have suspicion, you must sacrifice your life for it. It is really ridiculous.
Qian Renxue had learned about the differences between the two empires from the book. The inheritance system of the Star Luo Empire was that you and I would die, leaving only the last prince to take the throne. In the Tiandou Empire, the primogeniture system was mostly adopted, and the brothers seemed to be relatively peaceful.
But there are pros and cons to both sides. The Star Luo Empire has experienced too many betrayals by relatives during the prince stage, and it will definitely think twice about the truth of the matter and the methods of doing things.
In this model of the Star Luo Empire, the eldest son will ascend the throne regardless of his strategic IQ. The future is almost an unpredictable multiple-choice question. If he is a strategist, the national style will grow steadily. If he is an unintelligent emperor, the entire country may be ruined. in danger.
However, Emperor Xue Ye is obviously not an unintelligent person. He is just old and confused, and cannot tell who is good and who is bad.
Especially when Qian Renxue in her 'previous life' was still hiding her identity as the crown prince in Tiandou, she was confused by some of Emperor Xueye's operations.
But most of the time he is always smart...
Qian Renxue woke up and accidentally overthought. What she should be thinking about now is how to help Dugu Bo break the situation.
Now that we have reached this point, we probably don’t have to worry about whether we will be loyal to Emperor Xue Ye in the future, but we have to think about how to survive, and then leave the Tiandou royal family and join the Wuhun Palace...
As his thoughts flowed, a method quickly came to mind, but I didn't know if Dugu Bo would accept it. After all, Emperor Xueye, who had been loyal to Emperor Xueye for most of his life, was now turning against him. It was really sad.
………
Dugu Bo has not had a good day since he was stopped by the eunuch on his way to the medicine garden last time and was called to the palace.
At first, Emperor Xue Ye said that he had not been to the palace in recent times, so Dugu Bo got up earlier to visit the medicine garden, and then went to the palace to stay.
Immediately afterwards, Emperor Xue Ye suddenly fell ill. He found out that there was no big problem, but that he was overtired. He prescribed a few nourishing prescriptions and after taking them for a few days, he inexplicably became a poisoner.
He is really reasonable and can’t explain it!
He visited all the wealthy and noble families in the palace. Except for the Qibao Glazed Pagoda, the others saw him as if they were seeing the God of Plague, and closed the door in fear.
After these days of investigation, no clues were found. It was as if the poisoner appeared out of thin air and then disappeared out of thin air.
He was tired from running around for a few days. Tomorrow he would have to go to the court to be questioned by the emperor. But today, behind him and around his house, his granddaughter was followed by many soul masters.
He is not so confused yet. To say that he can't guess who sent it seems that he is not very smart. He just doesn't want to believe it. After all, he has paid too much for the empire and Emperor Xue Ye, and he didn't expect it. This is how you will be treated now.
In the afternoon, he took time to visit the medicine garden, watered the flowers, shoveled the soil, and drove away the weeds. He was very satisfied.
Perhaps all of this started because he had made an agreement with the Saint of Wuhun Palace, but Dugu Bo had no regrets. Those who couldn't stay would eventually be unable to stay. What's more, he found what he wanted to do, and at the same time he also recognized For some people, that's a good thing.
"Senior Dugu, it turns out you are here. I have been looking for you for a long time." Qian Renxue stood at the door of Biyao Garden, watching Dugu Bo watering the flowers in the garden alone, and spoke softly.
"Your Highness the Saint, why are you looking for me in such a hurry?" Dugu Bo was a little confused. All this has nothing to do with Her Highness the Saint. She should not be here to drown this time.
Emperor Xue Ye's words completely blocked Dugu Bo. Now whoever dares to contact him openly will undoubtedly make the opposite choice to Emperor Xue Ye and will be resented.
Of course, the three sects on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda are not included. They are the biggest lifeblood of this empire.
"I want to come to you to find out about Xue Ye being poisoned. Maybe I can help you."
Qian Renxue walked into the medicine garden. Under Dugu Bo's careful care, every herb inside was lifelike and brilliant.
Dugu Bo showed a bitter smile: "Your Highness the Saint, this is an accident that happened to me. I can't involve you. Emperor Xueye will have a bad impression of Wuhun Palace."
Qian Renxue shook her head. The impression of Emperor Xueye had only declined. His entire empire was now in danger without even realizing it, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
"There is no need to worry about this matter in Wuhun Palace. You and I have made an agreement. If you are really gone, who will take care of such a large medicine garden?"
"Your Highness the Saint, are you thinking too seriously? Even if the poison is finally determined to be caused by me, my life will not be lost."
"Don't you know whether the problem is serious? If you are really judged as the poisoner in the end, what will happen to your granddaughter, Dugu Yan? Do you think Emperor Xue Ye will let her go?"
Dugu Bo is a titled Douluo. If he really wants to resist, he is just Emperor Xueye. He can definitely wash away the palace with blood if he is determined to die.
But his heart was dead and he had no idea of taking action. Qian Renxue's first goal was to hook Dugu Bo's soul back, that is, to regain his fighting spirit.
Under Dugu Yan's name, Dugu Bo still missed his granddaughter after all, and asked hoarsely: "Your Highness, can I trouble you to take care of Yan Yan afterwards? She will take care of this medicine garden for me."
"I refuse." Qian Renxue shook her head mercilessly, and continued in Dugu Bo's almost desperate eyes, "It's better for you to take care of your granddaughter. I'm still young myself."
"But, I can't find a way to catch the murderer..." Dugu Bo sighed and spoke.
He has lived for so many years, and this is the first time he feels troubled by this matter. If the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die...
"Who said that the 'murderer' can't be caught? Are the murderers dissatisfied with the streets?"
Dugu Bo showed a confused face, not understanding what Qian Renxue meant.
"In this case, you will say this when you come to the government tomorrow..."
…
On the morning of the next day, Qian Renxue woke up early, packed her things and immediately left for the palace.
As the prince in her 'previous life', there was no road in the palace that Qian Renxue was not familiar with. Through the camouflage effect of her first soul skill, she walked in easily, and then went straight to the court.
At this time, most of the courtiers in the lobby had already gathered, waiting for the arrival of Emperor Xueye, and Dugu Bo was standing in the front and center, waiting for the emperor's judgment.
Qian Renxue used her disguise soul skill to lean against the dragon pillar and watched quietly.
The solution she gave Dugu Bo yesterday was to use Dugu Bo's trick of "turning a deer into a horse" to fight against Emperor Xue Ye's plan.
Didn’t Emperor Xueye want a murderer?
Then give it to him. The murderer who poisoned him does not exist, but there are 'murderers' everywhere on the street!
Of course, Qian Renxue would not just pick anyone to be the murderer. This was a prisoner she found from Wuhun Palace who had committed a capital crime, and changed his thoughts through specific mental intrusions.
As long as he admits it, coupled with Dugu Bo's 'investigation' and evidence collection, doesn't this so-called 'murderer' become a poisoner?
This matter was entirely based on the words of Emperor Xue Ye, so he couldn't bring out the real murderer or evidence. All he wanted was the 'murderer'. As for who it was, Emperor Xue Ye probably never knew who it was. I thought that he was just using this to judge Dugu Bo.
However, the disadvantage of this method is also quite obvious, that is, it will gain the hatred of the highest emperor in the Tiandou Empire.
It's a pity that Dugu Bo has given up at this time and is completely disappointed with Emperor Xue Ye. After this matter is over, he will withdraw from the position of worship in the Tiandou Empire, completely join the Wuhun Palace, and serve as the administrator of the medicine garden full-time.
Qian Renxue is not worried that this matter will be discovered. In other words, Emperor Xue Ye knew from the beginning. Everyone knew that this murderer was not the other murderer, but they also could not produce evidence. If there was really evidence, that is Slap the face of Emperor Xueye openly and honestly.
The government affairs began soon. Emperor Xueye slowly walked up to the throne and sat down, looking down at the courtiers who were worshiping below.
After the foreplay of worship is over, the 'performance' really begins.
The highest-ranking Emperor Xue Ye was the first to attack, and his majestic voice sounded: "Dugu worship, has the murderer who poisoned me been found?"
Dugu Bo stood in front of his ministers, bent down and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the thief has been found."
"Oh? Found it?" Emperor Xueye showed a very interested expression, "Send the thief to court!"
He wanted to see who this poisoner of the void was.
The so-called 'thief' was quickly escorted to the court. When he saw Emperor Xue Ye's facade, he knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy: "Emperor, have mercy on me. I didn't poison myself on purpose. I, I... I just... Was bribed..."
Hearing this, Emperor Xueye glanced at Dugu Bo and asked lazily: "Who bribed you to dare to attack me? Aren't you afraid of being implicated in the nine clans?"
"That man was wearing a veil. I have never seen his face..."
"Then you're useless. I'll drag you down and kill you." Emperor Xueye waved his hand, preparing to interrupt the 'scapegoat'.
"Emperor, please forgive me. Although I have never seen his face, I know his appearance. I can tell!"
Emperor Xue Ye asked people to stop, indicating that they could continue.
The 'thief' recalled: "The man had dark red hair, and the clothes on his body looked very luxurious. He had an identity tag, which was accidentally exposed when he turned around. It seemed to have the word 'collapse' engraved on it. I don't know. yes……"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the government changed their expressions. Dugu Bo even covered the 'thief''s mouth and angrily shouted: "Who told you to say this here! Shut up!"
Almost everyone knows who the 'thief' is talking about as the person behind the scenes... Xue Beng, the second prince of the Tiandou Empire...
But is it really so?
They all knew that this matter was just an excuse given by Emperor Xueye, just to hold Dugu Bo accountable.
So the 'thief' Dugu Bo caught did it on purpose?
Or is it true?
