It doesn't matter whether Fang Xinyue takes the blame or not. Yan Xiu already has the evidence that the Zhang family was careless about human life.
But if the Fang family changes sides and exposes Zhang's crimes in public, it will be of extraordinary significance.
It seems that she is the smartest and most ruthless person in the Fang family. She can actually think of such a way to protect herself at a critical moment of life and death, and she even thinks of making her father betray his old master and fights to the death.
Fang Xinyue knelt down, only slightly raising her eyes to observe Yan Xiu.
She couldn't read the emotions on Yan Xiu's face. She didn't know whether he was considering letting her live or letting her die. In the few times she saw him from a distance, she remembered that he was handsome, dignified and dignified. close.
At this critical moment of life and death for her, Yan Xiu actually poured a cup of tea leisurely, drank it leisurely and said:
"I will order someone to invite your father into the palace. Your life and death will be determined by his words and deeds in the court. Do you really have no regrets?"
Fang Xinyue gritted her teeth and kowtowed in thanks: "I have no regrets, I, my concubine."
No matter how stupid she was, she understood that Yan Xiu wanted to win her father into the new party camp to accuse the old party. She finally succeeded in this way of survival.
…
As soon as Fang Xinyue left the Tai Chi Palace, someone from the palace came to visit Fang's house.
When Fang's mother went home this morning and told Fang Xinyue's intentions to Fang Qi, she was insulted by him.
In his eyes, the foreign relatives can still be prosperous for a few more years. Yan Xiu's current focus is on annexing the Zhou and Qi kingdoms. How could he attack the old party so early?
It would not be too late for him and his son to rise to power in a few years before defecting, so why rush to offend Prime Minister Zhang now?
Therefore, he was still stubborn and insisted on sending Fang Xinyue to death in order to secure a bright future for him and his son.
But when someone from the palace invited him to go to Tai Chi Palace to meet Yan Xiu, Fang Qi was so frightened that his hair stood on end. Fang Xinyue actually had the guts to go to Yan Xiu and file a complaint first!
She really is an evil girl!
Now it's not up to him to choose.
If Yan Xiu could attack his relatives in one fell swoop, he would be able to escape from the quagmire and join the New Party camp; if Yan Xiu had not uprooted the Zhang family, he would have angered Prime Minister Zhang and would be the first to take revenge on him.
After thinking about it, Fang Qi took a box a few inches in size and followed the eunuch into the palace.
This was the first time that Fang Qi entered the main hall of Tai Chi Palace. As soon as he crossed the threshold, he was even more shocked when he saw Li Woyun, who was also wearing a snow suit, appearing in the main hall.
Didn’t Prime Minister Zhang say that Li Woyun had been killed? Even the position of Minister of Honglu Temple was filled by Yan Xiu.
But now Li Woyun actually appeared in Tai Chi Palace without incident.
If Qi Qi was still worried about his future fate after leaving the house, he understood everything when he saw Li Woyun.
It seems that His Majesty's methods have been underestimated by Prime Minister Zhang.
Fang Qi was extremely grateful for Fang Xinyue's bold move at this moment. She won the bet, not only for herself, but also for the heads of the Fang family.
He really got a good daughter!
Li Woyun slightly raised the corners of his mouth and greeted him elegantly:
"Master Fang, long time no see."
Fang Qi hurriedly saluted and replied: "I'm sorry, I asked Mr. Li to salute to me first. I also ask Mr. Li to forgive me."
Li Woyun: "Li is just a commoner now, and the Minister of Honglu Temple is a thing of the past. Mr. Fang does not need to be nervous."
What surprised Fang Qi even more was the King of Xiang, Yan Wei, who rushed to the palace later.
On such an important occasion today, why would a devil like King Xiang come to Tai Chi Palace?
Yan Wei hastily excused himself from Fang Qi's gift, sat down on the chair opposite Li Woyun, crossed his legs, casually took out an account book from his sleeve and put it on the table:
"I don't know if these dragon guards eat gold, silver, and jade every day. The expenses of Yanxue Tower this month are twice as much as last month!"
Yanxue Tower? Could it be that King Xiang is the famous owner of Yanxue Tower?
What he saw today has completely subverted Fang Qi's understanding.
While Fang Qi was shocked, Yan Xiu walked into the main hall with flying steps. Everyone stood up and saluted. He said coldly: "My dear friends, please excuse me."
"I believe I asked you to come to Tai Chi Palace to gather together tonight, and you will understand what I am planning."
Li Woyun got straight to the point and looked at Fang Qi:
"Tomorrow, Fang Shunchang will accuse Zhang Chongyi of murder when everyone in the harem goes to Changle Palace to say good morning; and in the morning of the next day, Mr. Fang will need to come forward to testify that Prime Minister Zhang bribed you to buy your life."
Fang Qi wiped the sweat from his neck: "It should, it should."
…
After leaving the Tai Chi Palace, Fang Qi's waist and legs no longer ached, and his face even glowed with excitement.
He no longer has to look at Zhang Xiang's face to act, let alone share the leftovers with others.
In the court in the future, he will not only be exempted from the crime of being a foreign relative, but he will also be promoted to the rank of fifth-grade Lang Zhongling by Yan Xiu himself. His son will sit in his current position, and his daughter will also be promoted. A good person.
Fang Xinyue accused Zhang Wanyao in the harem, and he exposed Prime Minister Zhang in the previous court. Together with the various evidences in the hands of Li Woyun and Yanxuelou, the glory of the Zhang family was completely ended.
In the Taiji Palace, Yan Wei surrounded Li Woyun and congratulated him: "Congratulations to Prime Minister Li, congratulations to Prime Minister Li."
Li Woyun raised his eyebrows: "My lord, please be careful, I am still a 'dead person' now."
Although Yan Xiu had the idea of making him the prime minister, before he could implement it, Yan Wei dared to tease him like this in front of Yan Xiu.
I thought that Yan Xiu would complain about this, but he was in a good mood tonight, and even pinched the dried fish with his own hands to feed the cat and tease it:
"After the great change of blood in the court, half of them are young people. Even I, the emperor, am a little immature compared to Gaozu and Emperor Wen."
"An imperial court that is dominated by young people is unprecedented in history. Do you, my beloved, have confidence?"
Yan Wei and Li Woyun replied together: "I am willing to die for your majesty and for the great Qin."
…
Early the next morning, Changle Palace.
The weather in Great Qin is smooth, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and there are not many important things to report in the court.
Yan Xiu went to court much earlier than usual today. When he came to Changle Palace, he happened to catch up with everyone in the harem entering Changle Palace to pay their respects.
After skipping the salute, Yan Xiu walked straight through the crowd and approached Zhu Sijia, holding her hand and sitting on the main seat together.
There were too few opportunities to see him in normal times. Today he suddenly appeared in Changle Palace. Yang Bixue and others were secretly annoyed. They should have dressed up better to pay their respects if they had known.
Zhu Sijia handed Yan Xiu a cup of tea: "How come your Majesty has time to come to the harem today to see the sisters paying their respects?"
She sometimes wakes up early in the morning, and her face will be slightly swollen, but it does not affect her beauty. On the contrary, it will add an unusual coquettishness to her beauty.
Yan Xiu took her tea and couldn't help it. He reached out and pinched her face: "I have nothing to do, so I came to see how Cicada manages the harem."
As soon as he finished speaking, Du Xian, who was sitting down, laughed out loud: "I didn't expect that Empress Zhaoyi's nickname is so nice, she is Chanchan."
Zhenzhen blinked: "Which cicada? The one screaming outside?"
Yu Xin was grounded and could not attend. Naturally, there was no one to help Du Xian. Du Xian could only think quickly and explain with a brain that did not have much ink:
"Where is it? It must be Chanjuan's Chan."
A cold light suddenly appeared in Yan Xiu's eyes: "Du Bazi's words and deeds are incompatible."
When I called Zhu Sijia by her nickname today, I actually forgot that there were so many outsiders present.
