The prince said loudly: "Tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival, but I didn't expect an accident to happen during the palace banquet, which frightened all of you."
"Right now, my father is seriously ill, and there is still chaos in the capital. Everyone will go back to their homes to rest. As for the court, we will rest for three days. All matters will be discussed at the court meeting three days later."
Everyone bowed their heads quickly: "I will obey the order of His Highness the Crown Prince."
…
In the Zichen Hall, the courtiers retreated one after another, and everyone went outside to look at the bright full moon in the sky, filled with fear and sigh.
Who would have thought that just one trip to the palace for a banquet would lead to so many things happening. The son of the He family was still alive, a twenty-year-old case resurfaced, and Emperor An, who was originally one of the most powerful people, was forced to lose the hearts of his people and betray his relatives. Prince Hate, who lost his future after offending the Holy Emperor, suddenly became the crown prince of the East Palace.
What I experienced this night was simply more "exciting" than what some people experience in their entire lives.
Those princes who were as quiet as chickens in the palace became gloomy as soon as they came out of the palace.
When Liang Guangyi and others looked back at Zichen Hall, their expressions were unpredictable. Feng Qiuli came over late and whispered to Liang Guangyi: "Grand Master."
"What did you say to Cui Qi?" Liang Guangyi asked.
Feng Qiuli sighed softly: "Master Xiao Cui blamed Mrs. Cui for sending his father to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and he blamed her a lot. Now that Xiao Yan has gained power, and he has had a rift with us for a long time, I'm afraid they will cause trouble again." When someone caught me, I explained it to him."
Liang Guangyi was disgusted: "He is stupid."
The matter between Cui Lin and the Xuan Qin family is already a fact. He colluded with the palace servants, bribed the imperial army, and forged the dead soldiers of the deposed queen to blame Xiao Yan. This is something that cannot be defended at all. Xiao Yan now holds the tiger talisman and has great power. If Cui Lin falls into the trap, In his hands, even if you don't die, you will have to shed your skin.
Madame Cui pointed out that the three companies were fair and publicly confessed Cui Lin's crime of murdering Xiao Yan, but she did not name the conspiracy and used the old case from twenty years ago to provoke each other.
If Xiao Yan intimidates the people of the Third Division and uses personal grudges to frame Cui Lin with severe punishment, then people will naturally think that they found out the truth about the Southland twenty years ago. , If he wants the world to be convinced by the results of the three-division trial, then he cannot use personal gain to deal with Cui Lin.
The crime Cui Lin committed would not lead to death, and he would surely be dismissed from his position, but it would not affect the Cui family. Mrs. Cui asked Cui Lin to go to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment for the sake of the entire Cui family.
Liang Guangyi became more resentful when he thought of what happened tonight.
"Cui Lin is even more stupid. He was tricked by Xiao Yan earlier and learned a lesson. Then he turned around and was led into the trick again. He became the opening gong of tonight's scene, and brought me and all the aristocratic families to suffer."
Feng Qiuli sighed softly: "I don't blame him. Xiao Yan has already set up a trap. Without him, there are others. He wants to reverse the case for the He family and Zhaoxue for He Wen. Tonight, the drama must be sung even if it is not sung."
Liang Guangyi was silent when he heard the words. He lowered his hands and looked at the night in silence for a long time before speaking in a low voice.
"The He family...how come someone survived..."
Back then, so many people surrounded and killed him.
The late emperor, Emperor An, the Lu family, and even the court officials of other aristocratic families also slaughtered the He family. The entire He family was stripped of their dogs and chickens, and everything that was left was divided up. More than ten years later, no one can remember the original power of the He family. , but now a bloodline of the He family has emerged.
Liang Guangyi said quietly: "Ping Zhao, do you think Xiao Yan is really the son of the He family?"
Feng Qiuli hesitated for a moment: "I don't know either, but if it weren't for the He family, why would he have caused so many things tonight and forced His Majesty to redress the grievances of the He family?"
Liang Guangyi's eyes drooped when he heard this, and he murmured in a low voice: "Yes, he is redressing the grievances for the He family. I only hope that he really does it for the He family..."
"Grand Master?" Feng Qiuli was confused: "What did you say?"
Liang Guangyi was worried, and his eyes were particularly uneasy.
If Xiao Yanruo is really a bloodline of the He family, it’s okay to do so many things just for the He family. The great thing is that the He family Zhaoxue, the aristocratic families like them who have benefited before, shed a layer of skin, but if...
His palms trembled, and he felt that the thought that came into his mind was a bit ridiculous, but it was like a seed that took root and sprouted and was difficult to erase.
Liang Guangyi was panic-stricken, but he just sighed in response to Feng Qiuli's question.
"It's nothing. Let's go. It's time to leave the palace. There are a lot of troubles to deal with next."
The Lu family has fallen, and the Cui family is afraid that it will soon. Among the other families, there are almost no people who can serve in the court. They are either too selfish, too greedy, or else they are timid and confused.
Fortunately, there is Feng Qiuli who can hold up a little bit, otherwise the family would really be doomed just by him as an old guy.
Feng Qiuli saw that he was worried and persuaded in a low voice: "Don't worry too much. Although Xiao Yan has obtained military power, our family is not easy to bully. If he goes too far, it will be a big deal and the whole family will be destroyed. We may not be able to achieve success if we work together." Afraid of him."
"It's not that far yet. Let's wait and see what he wants. Maybe Xiao Yan really just wants to revive the He family for Zhaoxue of the He family. Then he might also be able to use our family. , maybe it will be over if there is some blood."
Liang Guangyi felt a little more relaxed after hearing this: "I hope so. Let's go out of the palace."
As a junior, Feng Qiuli was half a step behind Liang Guangyi. As he walked towards the outside of the palace, his eyes fell on the old man in front of him, his eyes twinkling.
What Liang Guangyi said just now...
Feng Qiuli straightened his sleeves, waved his hands outwards a few times, and then returned to normal.
After the two of them left, a figure appeared from behind the palace door at the end of the corridor. He glanced at the direction Feng Qiuli and the others left, then turned and walked towards the Yulong Terrace.
"Master Governor, Liang Guangyi seems to be suspicious." Tian Qing whispered.
Xiao Yan laughed: "He is so cunning and cunning, it would be strange if he was not suspicious."
"Then he..."
"Ignore it."
Xiao Yan glanced at Tang Ning, who was tying up his wound, and said casually to Tian Qing.
As long as he does not admit his identity and only acts as a member of the He family, Liang Guangyi will not take the initiative to mention it, let alone tell anyone about his suspicions. At most, he will send someone to investigate secretly.
Tang Ning finished bandaging his wounds: "Most of the injuries on his arms are skin injuries, no muscles or bones. We have to go back and look at the injuries on his body."
She handed a sachet to Xiao Yan:
"Eunuch Feng lost it and picked it up just now during the chaos."
Feng Neishi had a sachet hanging on his waist when he was accompanying the Holy Attendant. It could suppress the medicinal properties in Andi's body, causing him to remain bloodthirsty and angry during drug addiction. He could not suppress his murderous intention but would not lose his mind. But if the fragrance was If the bag is lost, the bone-finding incense on his sleeves will trigger a full-blown addiction to Andi, causing him to have a headache and become ugly.
The sachet was thrown to the side of the high platform by Chamberlain Feng, who pretended to accidentally throw it to the side of the high platform when he fell. No one noticed that he dropped the sachet during the chaos in the palace. When everyone left earlier, Tang Ning asked Yue Jian to find an opportunity to pick it up.
