Chapter 698
Xiao Yi blushed at Luo Zhisong's sharp words.

But what Luo Zhisong said was indeed a fact that he had not expected. He could not utter a word of rebuttal. He could only look at Luo Zhisong blankly, with bulging veins on his forehead and a thin layer of sweat oozing out. He was silent for a long time, and finally his sleeves He pinched his fist, a calm expression appeared on his face, and said: "According to what Mr. Wang said, was it wrong for me to bribe Wanqing?"

Luo Zhisong said without hesitation: "Not only is it wrong, it is simply a big mistake that is unnecessary!"

Looking at Xiao Yi's mouth that was trembling with anger because of his collision, Luo Zhisong smiled in his heart, his eyes were thick and misty, like a shadow.

"His Highness was going to label Gu Zhen and the fourth prince as collaborators and treason. Once the fourth prince fell and Concubine Hui fell out of favor, what would he be like as Marquis Yongning? It would be worth the risk and trouble for Your Highness. Your Highness would spend time on Marquis Yongning. It is not just a plan to bring down Concubine Hui, but to bring down Concubine Hui, it is clear that Gu Zhen conspired with His Highness the Fourth Highness. I really don’t understand who gave His Highness this bad idea and made His Highness take such trouble. It’s not a good thing!”

Luo Zhisong's words were harsh, and coupled with his cold face that had remained unchanged for thousands of years, this harshness became even more harsh and harsh.

Xiao Yi clenched his fist hard to prevent himself from expressing his anger.

Although Luo Zhisong spoke rudely, at the moment, major events are still pending, and he really needs this capable and courageous counselor. This humiliation is nothing compared to the supreme position!
After enduring it for a long time, Xiao Yi could not help but defend himself, "My father's love for Xiao Yu is far beyond your imagination. When the queen made things difficult for Concubine Hui, when Xiao Yu learned about it, he went straight to the queen's palace in anger. He smashed the queen's palace to pieces. For such a disobedient crime, my father only gave him a dozen dozen beatings. After the beating, he felt so distressed that he personally gave him medicine and fed him..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Yi's eyes turned red with jealousy.

He is also his father's own son, how could he be partial to such a degree, Xiao Yi thought more than once, if it was him, his father would have put him in prison long ago.

If his mother-in-law had not died young...

As a child without a mother, he can only endure the pain and warmth by gritting his teeth.

Taking a deep breath, he sighed quietly, but he couldn't express the sorrow in his heart. He opened his mouth again, with an unconcealable sadness in his tone. Xiao Yi continued: "I'm not very sure about Gu Zhen's rebellion. He will definitely be able to pull down Xiao Yu and completely overthrow Concubine Hui, so I arranged for Wanqing..."

Hearing this, Luo Zhisong pretended to be astonished. He was silent for a moment and said: "The matter has come to this, and it is useless to say more. Since Dong Xueruo died at the hands of His Highness, His Highness still needs to make amends for this matter, otherwise it will affect the outcome of Gu Zhen's case. , it’s really worth the loss!”

Xiao Yi's chest rose and fell, and he sighed a few times, finally suppressing a hundred emotions. As worldly as he was, he adjusted his emotions to the matter at hand in a flash, tilted his head and frowned, "I hope you can tell me clearly, this king, this king is really honest." It is impossible to speculate, even if I ordered Wanqing to kill Dong Xueruo and my father was furious, why would it affect the outcome of Gu Zhen's case?"

Luo Zhisong's eyebrows flashed and he said: "Your Highness is smart and confused for a while. Your Highness knows best what your Majesty's temper is. First, His Highness tampered with Yongning Hou's backyard, and then Your Highness exposed Chi Nanhou. If Your Highness doesn't try to get involved with the Fourth Highness, then that's it. , whenever His Highness touches the Fourth Highness, the Emperor will definitely think of what His Highness did to Marquis Yongning. When the time comes, it is inevitable that he will not doubt the evidence presented by His Highness. Once His Majesty becomes suspicious..."

When Xiao Yi heard this, he was immediately enlightened, his face suddenly changed, and he said excitedly: "Fortunately, fortunately, I have a husband to remind me in time, otherwise, it will really lead to a catastrophe!"

After saying that, Xiao Yi turned his head and called Chu Yan outside the door, "Prepare the sedan chair, my king is going now..."

Chu Yan pushed the door open and came in. As soon as he poked his head in, Xiao Yi's words were interrupted again by Luo Zhisong, "Your Highness is anxious again! This matter will not happen until after the court tomorrow at the earliest."

Xiao Yi's voice paused, and his face was full of confusion, "Why is this?"

"When Your Highness enters the palace at this time, you should tell Your Majesty, when did you find out about this matter? If you say you discovered it now, but being so reckless is obviously not in line with Your Highness' usual cautious nature. Your Majesty is going to be angry. Doubtful. If we said we would discover it earlier, why didn’t His Highness say anything after the morning court, which made His Majesty suspicious again. So I said, it should be after the morning court tomorrow at the earliest.”

"At that time, Your Highness can say that you got the news tonight. After thinking about it, you feel that this matter is really important..."

Listening to Luo Zhisong's words, Xiao Yi waved his hand, "Sir, you don't need to say any more, the king understands what you mean, and I will follow what you want."

While talking, he was gearing up, and in a flash, he said to Chu Yan: "Go and call Wang Daosheng, the transcriber of the Ministry of War who is responsible for compiling and summarizing border emergency reports, to me!"

Of course, he couldn't say that he received the news from Liaodong. To avoid leaving any trace, the news had to come from the Ministry of War.

Chu Yan was ordered to leave, but Xiao Yi and Luo Zhisong discussed everything before letting him go.

When he stepped out of the door of Xiao Yi's study, the cold wind blew in his face and hit his body. Luo Zhisong felt his spirit tremble.

He had been looking forward to it day and night, and for how long, this moment was finally coming.

In excitement, Luo Zhisong walked with his feet up, his posture a little different from before.

The cold wind was biting, but when he walked in it, he felt like a spring breeze.

The next thing to do is to "encounter" the commander of the Forbidden Army. Taking a deep breath, Luo Zhisong's eyes were like sea fog. The fog dissipated, revealing his shining eyes.

At this moment, in Tongyuan of Chinanhou Mansion, Gu Yuqing also made some arrangements, "...I will be called into the palace tomorrow. In a short time, the imperial army will definitely come to search the mansion. When the time comes, when you are panicked, you can only We need to lead the commander of the Imperial Guard to the study and ask him to open the fifth secret compartment from left to right on the right wall of the study. Remember, he only needs to go in alone, and everyone else must block the door no matter what."

Ruyi nodded, "Miss, don't worry, I will definitely do it."

After ordering Ruyi, Gu Yuqing turned to Huang Nanny and said, "Manny just keep an eye on Su Muqing in the secret room, and don't let the guards find her."

Grandma nodded, and when she accepted the order, she couldn't help but have a look of anxiety on her face, and said: "Miss, let Ji Xiang Ruyi accompany you to the palace. If there is any evil, and the palace seduces the commander of the imperial army and keeps an eye on Su Muqing, this servant can do it alone. good……"

Gu Yuqing shook his head, "It's a tough battle in the mansion. Don't underestimate the Forbidden Army, especially the commander of the Forbidden Army. He has been trusted and relied on by His Majesty for many years, which shows what this person is capable of. Wanting to seduce him is not a trivial matter, and it is even more important." What's more, the Forbidden Army's search capabilities are so strong that if they are given enough time, they will definitely discover one or two of the secret passages and rooms in the mansion."

Speaking of this, Gu Yuqing felt anxious, she was not fully sure about the battle tomorrow.
