Outside the royal study, Yao Guang looked at the sky and then at Guishan: "What else do you want to say?"
"Is that Wei Shangquan the same as last night..." Guishan asked.
"I can't hide anything from you, exactly." Yao Guang smiled.
"Who knows?" Guishan asked.
"It's just me. This is a hidden line. It was already laid in the last life. It's just a matter of course." Yao Guang said with a smile.
"Okay, you don't have anyone anymore." Guishan said.
"Let's go to the East Palace. Sheng Chuxue is just a cannon fodder after all. I've already warned him, but why is he still so stubborn? It's really annoying. I've seen people who are looking for death, but I've never seen people who are so anxious to die. I want it. It’s not my existence, but the emperor still saved some face for me. Do you believe that the emperor will directly kill Sheng Chuhui and depose Sheng Chuxue." Yao Guang said.
Guishan didn't answer, just shrugged helplessly. The two people walked towards the East Palace.
Arriving at the door of the East Palace, Yao Guang looked at the two doors and didn't know how to walk in. For a moment he just stood there in a daze. The guard wanted to report, but Yao Guang waved his hand, lifted up his skirt and walked in. As soon as they reached the door, they met Sheng Chuxue head-on. Both of them were stunned for a moment.
"Third sister, you're here, I was just going to find you." Sheng Chuxue changed from her usual calmness and looked a little panicked.
"Go in and talk, everyone, please step back." Yao Guang waved his hand, and all the palace guards withdrew. Only three people, Sheng Chuhan, Yao Guang, and Gui Shan, were left in the main hall.
"Third sister, please answer me a question first. Are you here to plead guilty on behalf of His Majesty?" Sheng Chuxue said anxiously.
"No. Brother, please calm down first. His Majesty has no intention of punishing you, nor will he depose the prince. I'm just here to ask some questions." Yaoguang knew that Sheng Chuxue was really scared this time. One incident was too big. Long Yan was furious, and even she, the eldest princess who had never heard anything outside the window, was angry.
Yaoguang saw that Sheng Chuxue's hand was shaking, so he held it. Spiritual energy poured in, and Sheng Chuxue finally calmed down. He got up and brought three cups of tea over.
"Brother, I won't beat around the bush and tell you directly, are you aware of the case of corruption among officials?" Yao Guang asked.
"I don't know." Sheng Chuxue replied. Nalan Fengjin looked at his expression.
"Can you participate in the death row case of the Ministry of Punishment?" Yao Guang asked again.
"I had no idea before today. I asked people to investigate what happened when the incident came out. The people who came back said that it was Sheng Chuhui who took the arrow from the East Palace to the Ministry of Punishment and instigated the Minister of Punishment to participate in the exchange of death row prisoners. At first, the Ministry of Punishment refused to agree to the case. However, the bargaining chip offered by Zhao Jiancheng was too great. One hundred thousand taels of gold were used to buy Zhao Yu’s head. The Minister of Punishment did it privately without reporting it to me. The crime of exchanging death row would not lead to death. , but this Zhao Yu was so ignorant that he beat the count's concubine to death. After the person who came back to reply said it, I was dumbfounded. Originally, I wanted to go to see the saint, but before I had time to go out, His Majesty already knew .That's how it is." Sheng Chuxue finished speaking and her head was covered with sweat. Nalan Fengjin paid attention to his expression. When he answered himself, the fear was real, the surprise was real, and the disbelief was real. This showed that Sheng Chuxue was not lying, and he really didn't know. Nalan Fengjin looked at him and felt helpless, Sheng Chuhui, Sheng Chuhui, do you want this whole family to die for you? !
"Brother, this matter is not that simple. Zhao Yu is also burdened with the war horse trafficking case. In this matter, the Minister of Punishment is also involved. The one hundred thousand taels of gold are said to be bribes. To put it bluntly, they are the profits from the war horse sales. The Ministry of Rites is Chuhui's people, Xingbu is indeed your people, whether you know this or not, you have been dragged into the water by Sheng Chuhui." Yaoguang sighed: "The case of the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, the case of the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, The person behind the war horse trafficking case and the case of the Ministry of Punishment exchanging death row prisoners is Chuhui, and Chuhui has always been regarded as your person. You are not clear about the stakes here." Yaoguang couldn't continue talking at this point. She was depressed, Sheng Chuhui was really courageous. I don't even know how to save him this time.
"I knew his methods, I just didn't expect... Sigh..." Sheng Chuxue sighed.
"When Yu'er died, I reminded you to keep an eye on Sheng Chuhui, otherwise you will be implicated by him one day. Brother, what do you want me to say about you?" Yao Guang sighed: "You Do you know that Sheng Chuhui was involved in the sale of war horses, and a large amount of money was missing? Have you never thought about what Sheng Chuhui wants so much money for?" Yao Guang said.
"You mean, Chuhui wants?!" Sheng Chuxue's eyes turned frightened.
"You guessed right. There are some things you don't know. I have to tell you now. Yu'er's death was not an accident. It was Chuhui's murder. He and evil cultivators conspired to kill Yu'er. That year, the Taoist temple outside the city The fire was not an accident. It was done by me to avenge Yu'er. Also, Chuhui was responsible for the assassination of Chuhan last year. The assassination of you was also arranged by Chuhui, just to drive a wedge between you and Chuhui. Han, since you entered the imperial capital, you have kept Chu Han and me thousands of miles away. Brother, you have listened to Chu Hui’s slander. Chu Han has always only wanted to be a free prince, and I am an outsider after all. My The mission is to bring peace to the world, and I must leave when the time comes. In the past few years, you have never noticed that Chu Han is thinking of ways to stay away from the center of power, and I am also hiding as much as I can. In fact, this is what we both want, as long as You put the world first, so we can only travel around the mountains and rivers, but you...what do you want me to say about you?" Yao Guang frowned and kept sighing.
Sheng Chuxue was already stunned: "That Chuhui..."
"Sheng Chuhui doesn't have to get rid of us with your hands, how can he replace you in the future? How come you are confused about this matter." Yao Guang said. "Do you know that I have always wanted to talk to you, but not only did you not welcome me, you also rejected me thousands of miles away. In this case, can you believe what I say, if it hadn't happened like this this time? You still won’t believe me about big things, and even now, you still don’t believe me fully.”
Sheng Chuxue didn't answer, because Yao Guang was right. He did not completely trust this so-called third sister. She has always been facing Chuhan.
"You must think that I am only towards Chuhan, but I will not deny this matter, because I love Chuhan more. However, if you think about it carefully, if I really only towards Chuhan, then this prince Why is this bit yours? If I really go towards Chuhan, why is it that everything Sheng Chuhui does is a capital crime, but His Majesty does not punish him too severely? Once you were implicated by Chu Hui, how could this fire not burn you?" After Yao Guang finished speaking, he looked at Sheng Chuxue quietly. "Have you ever thought about this?"
Sheng Chuxue fell silent when she heard Yao Guang's words. Yao Guang was right, but at the center of power, he was blinded.
"Being a prince is not as difficult or complicated as you think, because Chuhan and I have never thought about the position of prince. The one who really wants to get it is Sheng Chuhui, not us. Things have developed now , I can only say that you were miserably deceived by Chuhui." Yaoguang looked at Sheng Chuxue's even more shocked expression and said, "I'm not afraid that you will be even more shocked. Today the emperor really moved to kill Sheng Chuhui and destroy you. Thoughts. But it was me who appeared here in the end, not the emperor's censor. I think you should understand it with your intelligence."
Sheng Chuxue was already a little limp: "Thank you, sister."
"Brother, you know why Chuhui is so miserable, but I still try my best to protect him." Yaoguang stood up and looked out the window.
Sheng Chuxue shook her head.
Yao Guang sighed: "Because he is also a member of the Holy Family. You cannot understand my feelings for the Holy Family. In fact, I do not belong to this time and space. I am here just to make the Holy Family famous throughout the ages. This is my long-cherished wish. , is also my mission." Yao Guang stopped talking when he said this, and his heart was full of mixed emotions.
The previous life left too many regrets here, and some things in this life still cannot be perfected. This is God's will.
