Morbid pet

Chapter 42
After a stick of incense.

In the towering and cold hall, there were only Li Tianren and Xie Zhao who were still kneeling.

Fuman had good eyesight, and waited three feet away from the gate of the palace with all the attendants, ensuring that even a moth would not enter, and the servants would not hear a word from the masters.

Li Tianren: "Xie Zhao, get up. Stop pretending, there is no one else."

Xie Zhao stood up and said, "Yes."

Li Tianren opened his eyes and asked, "What's going on! Fuman said that a eunuch saw you rushing into the flames and rescued the queen, and then took him to Jing'an Temple."

Xie Zhao was silent for a while, before his thin lips moved slightly, "I sent someone to set the fire, but I was afraid that it would really hurt the empress, so I rushed in to save the empress immediately."

"Bangdang-"

The teacup, which was still breathing warmly, fell on Xie Zhao's forehead in an instant, and smashed to pieces on the thick carpet along with his blood.

Li Tianren couldn't take it anymore, he hated people lying to him the most, and it was such a lame lie!

"Xie Zhao! Tell the truth! I will give you one last chance."

Xie Zhao still said: "Fire, I set it off."

"You think I dare not punish you, right!"

"No, I beg Your Majesty to punish you."

Fuman's probing voice came from the door: "Your Majesty, the national teacher asks to see you."

Li Tianren's voice was low but penetrating: "Come in!"

As soon as Wuxin came in, she walked to Xie Zhao's side, then opened her white clothes and knelt down, "Your Majesty, I set the fire."

"Bangdang-"

Another dragon-patterned sword cup of the Chen Dynasty was broken.

But instead of hitting Wuxin's head, he leaped over Wuxin's arm and landed at his feet, the tiles shattered.

Li Tianren began to growl: "One or two of you fucking say you are arsonists! Do you think I'm stupid! Although I don't like to deal with court affairs and don't intervene in party disputes, I'm not a fool! Tell me, who set the fire! "

"I let-"

Wuxin and Xie Zhao said the same three words at the same time.

Li Tianren laughed back in anger. He sat on the dragon chair with his head propped up and laughed. After a while, he said three words: "Li Changle?"

Suddenly, the hall became extremely quiet.

The rooster crowing in the distant farmyard can be heard clearly here.

Li Tianren walked down from the dragon chair suddenly, sat on the steps, and looked at the only two people he could trust in the court.

He looked at the majestic Panlong above his head for a long time, and let out a foul breath. He cried and laughed, "Hahahaha, this is the Li family that God is going to kill!"

Xie Zhao didn't want to continue to hide it from Emperor Tianren, so he cupped his hands and said, "Changle was murdered twice in the south of the Yangtze River because of the queen's instigation. For the time being, there is only evidence that the assassin fell into the water here. Ever since Changle woke up, her mental state has been in a state of depression. It's not very good, but she didn't intend to kill the queen, and the national teacher can prove that what Chang Le gave the queen was just a little powder that can cause people to hallucinate."

Li Tianren snorted coldly, "If the group of old ghosts outside know about this, Changle will not be able to settle this matter by going to the ancestral temple this time. Since you are all willing to help Changle prevent this catastrophe, is there a solution?"

Wu Xin said softly: "The Rong family has power in the government and the public, and there are many party members. We can't move them now, otherwise both sides will suffer. The stability of the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty depends on the stability of the Rong family."

Xie Zhao and Li Tianren didn't know, they all shook their heads when they heard about it.

Wuxin continued to say: "But I have a plan, I can let the Rong family release some power."

Xie Zhao didn't speak, obviously guessed it.

But Li Tianren looked at Wu Xin expectantly and said, "Say it!"

Wuxin: "Two maids are asked to take down the case of the fire, and then King Zhao will expose the queen's murder of the princess, and use this as pressure to force the Rong family to release some power, revive the imperial examination, and bring in new blood for the court."

Li Tianren frowned and said, "What if the Rong family wants to rebel?"

Xie Zhao said coldly: "They are already so powerful that they have stretched their hands into the harem, so it's just a matter of time."

Li Tianren got up silently and said: "Enough. I don't want and don't want to see them rebel. The fire case is found by the palace servants. I will talk to the queen. Let's just let this matter go. As for the queen Regarding the murder of Changle, give me the confession, and I will persuade the queen."

The fire in Xie Zhao's eyes burned more and more intensely, and finally burned into a dot.

"Yes."

It was already noon when Chang Le woke up with a severe pain in his head.

The sun happened to shine over her head from the window sill, she suddenly met a ray of light, took a deep breath, and sat up by herself.

"It's not a magic medicine, it should hurt or it should hurt." Chang Le said sullenly, her voice was still a little hoarse when she just woke up, but she couldn't hide her sweet voice.

Diancui heard the commotion inside, and immediately waited for the servant girl to bring a basin of hot water to come in and wait for Changle to wash.

Dian Cui's eyes were slightly red, and she looked very worried.

Changle has always been very sensitive to the emotions of others, "What's wrong? Little Diancui, who made you unhappy?"

Dian Cui was wiping Chang Le's forehead when she heard the sound of wow and burst into tears.

Dian Cui: "Princess, Die Shi was taken away by the prince."

Changle: "?"

"Why take it away?"

Dian Cui faltered and said: "Say, say, it's because of the fire case. I heard from the little eunuchs in the Taiji Hall today that the Rong family made the emperor get up in the middle of the night to go to court because of this incident last night."

Chang Le squinted his eyes halfway, with hatred flowing in his pupils, "Go! Go to Prince Zhao's Mansion."

Changle didn't wear makeup today, her small face was exquisite and fair, and her facial features were even more prominent. She casually put on a white gauze with a smoky-colored chest-length skirt.

"Why is everything so quiet today?" She sat on a corner of the phoenix carriage and lifted the curtain, looking at a corner of the imperial city.

In the past, there would always be some gatherings in this corner, eunuchs and palace maids who were eating each other, laughing and playing here, but today it was deserted, and the whole palace seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds.

Chang Le stretched out his head to look at the sky, it was clear that the sky was still shining brightly.

She lowered the curtain, closed her eyes and meditated.

Soon, we arrived at Prince Zhao's Mansion.

The concierge glanced at the phoenix chariot, then opened the door of the mansion wide, and lowered his head to signal the master to enter.

Chang Le silently looked at the familiar furnishings in Prince Zhao's Mansion.

Some memories slowly come back to my mind.
In a trance, she saw a troupe of all women that Xie Zhao invited to make her happy, and Xie Zhao was seriously injured. She could only see the pale corner of his jaw while guarding the door, and the wedding night
Chang Le's ears turned red suddenly, but the hatred in his heart was getting stronger and stronger.

"Xie Zhao! Get out of this palace!" Chang Le stood in the courtyard and shouted.

Beside the broad pavilions and waterside pavilions, there is only one pond connected to a mahogany corridor. There is a big rock and a rockery, which she is very familiar with.

After squinting his eyes and thinking for a while, he asked Diancui beside him: "Diancui, do you see that the rocks here and the rockery are from the platform?"

Dian Cui nodded first, and then asked tentatively: "Your Highness, do you remember? This is when you just moved here, someone moved it down from the platform."

Chang Le nodded: "No wonder Bengong saw that the entrance of the platform was bare, so he moved all of these here."

Xie Zhao strode out from the inner courtyard in a black robe with python pattern and a silver crown on his head. He was tall and burly, and just stood by the rockery pond, an inexplicable pressure came over his face.

Hiding behind Changle in a calm manner.

Xie Zhao: "Is there something wrong with the princess?"
