Chapter 373 Dead Only Keep Secrets
Li Chongguo looked up and looked at Nan Xiyin suspiciously, what could the little princess tell him.

Only then did they realize that there were only the two of them left in the hall, not even Lingyuan, who had always been inseparable.

Not only had he heard about Nan Xiyin's intelligence, but he had also seen it with his own eyes. Li Chongguo was inexplicably flustered.

"General, I heard that a few days ago, Mr. Liang, Minister of the Ministry of War, visited your residence late at night. I don't know what it is. This princess is really curious."

Li Chongguo's legs trembled, and he knelt down with a plop. It hurt so much to watch, but Xiaodouding was not very big, and what he said was frightening to death.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, the princess listened to someone's words, don't listen to the villain's slander!"

Nan Xiyin rolled her eyes, she didn't even write a draft when she lied, she trembled like a ghost, and stammered nervously, she was ashamed to lie.

"Oh, are you teaching Princess Ben how to do things?" Nan Xiyin's sharp eyes shot over, Li Chongguo was so frightened that he fell silent, prostrated himself on the ground, not daring to say a word, but kept shaking his head.

"Say." Nan Xiyin slapped the table hard, her little hand was always hurting, and when she looked up, it was red.

Li Chongguo jumped up to her rhythm, knowing that the princess is not easy to fool, so he confessed honestly.

"His Royal Highness, it was Liang Ziwei who came to find the old official first, and asked the old official to put this salt in the food of the empress at the canonization ceremony of the empress. Liang Ziwei said that the whereabouts of the empress was unknown. Let the imperial concubine successfully become the empress."

Nan Xiyin obviously didn't believe it. It was impossible for a shrewd person like Liang Ziwei to do such a clumsy excuse.

Because table salt itself is not too harmful to the body, no matter how much you put in, people still have to eat it.

It's not a fool, even a fool knows salt!

"Where is the salt that Liang Ziwei gave you, show me the princess."

"On the old minister, the old minister has always carried it."

Li Chongguo gave Nan Xiyin his so-called table salt.

Nan Xiyin picked up a little bit with her fingers, put it on the tip of her nose and smelled it.

Immediately, he was furious, and threw a whole bag of salt on Li Chongguo's face.

"You idiot, this is borax and ebony, just a little bit can kill people, General Li, you are rebelling, and you are punishing the whole family."

"What????" Li Chongguo was stunned.

rebel.

Kill the nine clans.

There were only these two words left in his mind. If he was really accused of rebellion, how could he be worthy of the ancestors of the Li family?

and……

He also took a closer look, and it did look similar to table salt.

Although he knew there was a problem, he didn't expect it to be like this. Liang Ziwei was so bold that he wanted to drag him to be a backup if he wanted to die.

"His Royal Highness, please forgive me. The old minister really doesn't know. He just thought that Liang Ziwei was blinded by jealousy. How could he know that he was so bold."

Nan Xiyin narrowed her eyes and looked at Li Chongguo. As a general of hussars, he must be in charge of guarding the queen's canonization ceremony.

It is undoubtedly the best candidate to start with him, Liang Ziwei is really good at picking people.

Coupled with Li Chongguo's cowardly personality and rude thoughts, he would hug anyone with power.

These years, he has not been reused by his father, presumably because he wants to find another way out.

Fortunately, no big mistake has been made, otherwise it would not be a pity for him to die ten thousand times.

"Then what good did Liang Zi comfort you?" Nan Xiyin asked again.

People are only looking for profit, and they don't have enough benefits, so why should Li Chongguo help Liang Ziwei.

"This, this, this..." Anyway, it's all here, so Li Chongguo simply said everything.

"Liang Ziwei didn't do me any favors. On the way back, Gouzi was hijacked by that servant and threatened the old minister. I had no choice but to do so. Your Royal Highness, you have a kind heart, and the death of the old minister is not a pity. Please save Gouzi."

Li Chongguo said with snot and tears, what can he do?With just these two sons, he didn't want to see any accident happen.

He would rather die by himself than hurt his family.

Nan Xiyin suddenly realized that it was so.

She just couldn't figure it out, with Li Chongguo's current position of power, Liang Ziwei had too little to seduce him.

Nan Xiyin unhurriedly picked up the teacup next to her and took a sip, "Then just do as he said."

"Ah?" Li Chongguo was stunned. What kind of medicine is the princess selling in this gourd?

"Didn't hear clearly?" Nan Xiyin's eyes were dangerous.

"No, Your Royal Highness, this..."

"This princess asked you to do it, and you just do it. The poison has been destroyed. Later, this princess will send someone to send you a new one. It's fine. You can go back first."

Li Chongguo: "..."

Who will tell him what's going on now?
Li Chongguo returned to the General's Mansion with a heavy heart, but Jiang Xiaolian was very fast.

The general's mansion has been restored to its previous appearance, exactly the same.

Li Sheji is also like a reborn, not noisy, not noisy, mother is kind and filial, and even cooks for Jiang Xiaolian.

Looking at the delicious food on the table in front of her, Jiang Xiaolian couldn't hold her chopsticks.

She really dare not eat the food made by Li Sheji!
Who knows if the food will be poisonous?

Li Sheji felt ruthless in his heart, and looked at Jiang Xiaolian expectantly on the surface.

It seemed that Jiang Xiaolian's actions had hurt him unceasingly.

And Li Chongguo, who came back anxiously, saw the table full of dishes, and he had been hungry for a long time. He sat down, picked up the bowls and chopsticks, and ate, mouthful, as if he hadn't eaten in 800 years.

"Hey, master." Jiang Xiaolian wanted to stop it. This Li Sheji was very serious. If Li Chongguo was poisoned to death, she would become a widow. Who would give her glory and wealth?
"What's wrong?" Li Chongguo looked up at Jiang Xiaolian with impatience in his eyes.

He is already annoying enough, can you stop looking for trouble for him when you have nothing to do all day.

Seeing Li Chongguo like this, Jiang Xiaolian suddenly felt that she had nothing to say.

Li Chongguo loves his son no less than he loves her. Li Chongguo has eaten so much, and there is no sign of poisoning.

If she slandered Li Sheji, Li Chongguo didn't know what he would think of her.

"It's okay, come on, eat more."

Li Sheji also did what he liked, cooking dishes that the couple liked to eat.

Jiang Xiaolian didn't know that Li Sheji could cook, so she ate with chopsticks.

Li Sheji's lips curled into a weird smile, and he also picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started to eat.

"Ah..." Jiang Xiaolian happened to catch this evil smile, and exclaimed, so scared that the bowls and chopsticks fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

I thought that Li Sheji would not want to live anymore, so he should take them to be buried with him!
"What's the matter?" Li Chongguo was indescribably annoyed.

"Master, this... this dish..."

Jiang Xiaolian couldn't say the word poisonous, because what Li Sheji ate was so fragrant!
Looking at it now, the boy is still that boy, with an innocent face.

Jiang Xiaolian thought that maybe she was too sensitive and misjudged?
"No, nothing." Jiang Xiaolian wronged herself for saying these two words with an unnatural expression.

Holding the edge of the table tightly with his wrist, he glared at Li Sheji viciously.

"Disappointing." Li Chongguo smashed his chopsticks, "Don't eat."

After speaking, stand up and leave.

Jiang Xiaolian was really wronged, and Li Sheji was even more wronged than her.

He looked at Jiang Xiaolian who was about to cry, silently tidying up the dishes, tears streaming down her face.

Seeing Li Sheji like this, Jiang Xiaolian felt distressed again.

Is she being too strict?

"I'm sorry, Ji'er, mother didn't mean it."

"It's okay." Li Sheji smiled indifferently, "I know it will take some time for my mother to accept me, and I will be a good boy."

Li Sheji cleaned up the tattered bowls and chopsticks and went out. Jiang Xiaolian looked at Li Sheji's back and burst into tears.

What evil did she do!
evening.

Before the last ray of sunlight fell on the hillside, Nan Xiyin's people arrived as scheduled.

Handed over a bag of identical table salt to Li Chongguo.

Li Chongguo took it nervously, and after the person left, he opened the bag and smelled it, and found that it smelled exactly the same, even the color didn't change at all.

Li Chongguo couldn't help feeling dizzy, what on earth does the little princess want to do!

It's fine if he didn't know before, but now he doesn't have the guts to force the palace to rebel, he can't bear the crime.

In order to verify his judgment, Li Chongguo invited the doctor into his room late at night.

Quietly took out what Nan Xiyin gave him, and showed it to the doctor.

The government doctor sniffed it carefully and got exactly the same result as Nan Xiyin.

"General, this is borax and ebony, highly poisonous things, you use this to make..."

puff…………

Before the doctor's words were finished, Li Chongguo swiftly and swiftly went in with a white knife and out with a red knife, killing the doctor with one blow.

He couldn't let this matter be exposed, otherwise the eldest son's life would not be guaranteed.

It was the lives of thousands of people from his Li clan that were lost.

Looking at the corpse of the government doctor, Li Chongguo, who has always been decisive in killing and has been on the battlefield for most of his life, doesn't know what to do.

Thinking of the thousands of people in the Li family, his legs and feet became numb, and now he didn't even have the courage to stand up, what should he do with the government doctor's body.

He only believed that the dead would keep secrets, so he did it as a last resort.

What should I do?
Li Chongguo sat on the ground helplessly, scratching his hair.

The day after tomorrow is the canonization ceremony, what is he going to do?
Helping the little princess or helping Liang Ziwei is a crime of treason.

And both of them held his deadly handle in their hands.

When Li Chongguo was hesitating, the sound of dead branches breaking suddenly sounded outside the window.

Li Chongguo woke up suddenly. For the sake of his family, he immediately chased him out, but only saw the running back of the man in black.

It's over.

was discovered.

He is dead.

Li Chongguo fell heavily on the snow, looking at the white snow on the big tree above his head, there was no life in his eyes.

The government doctor's body was not disposed of, and Li Chongguo did not get up, so he just slept on the winter snow with his eyes open all night.

He really wanted to die like this, and he didn't have the courage to commit suicide.

However, the facts did not go as he wished. At dawn, he was still alive.

Li Chongguo looked at the rising sun in the sky, made up his mind, and went to the palace.

It was the time of the early court, and the palace people were all preparing for the canonization, and the palace was full of joy.

Li Chongguo caught a cold and coughed continuously along the way.

Morning up.

Nan Mocheng looked over with sharp eyes, and Li Chongguo was so frightened that he knelt down without saying a word.

Everyone: "???"

Liang Ziwei hated that iron could not be made into steel, and quickly supported him, "General Li, are you feeling unwell?"

And kept blinking at him.

"Cough cough..." Li Chongguo coughed heavily again, his voice was extremely hoarse, and he almost lost his voice.

"Yeah, I was infected with the wind and cold, no, my legs and feet are sore and weak, and I really have no strength."

"Li Aiqing, since you are sick, go home and rest. Recently, the country is peaceful and the people are safe. There is nothing serious in the court. If there is an urgent matter, I will call."

"Yes, old minister, I would like to thank the emperor for his compassion." Li Chongguo was really uncomfortable.

"Changan, send Li Aiqing back to the residence."

"Yes, this servant is following the emperor's orders."

Chang An came down, called a few people, sent Li Chongguo back, and followed him.

Not far from Zhenghe Hall, there is a fork in the road, but Li Chongguo did not leave.

"General Li, but I'm not feeling well. Wait a minute, our family will prepare a proud son." After speaking, he looked at Ming Wu, "Xiao Shunzi, go quickly..."

"Director Chang, I'm sorry, but I don't need it." Li Chongguo stopped Chang An, "I'm going to the imperial study to wait for the emperor."

"Ah? No, General Li, you have something to say in the morning court. The emperor just came to the court, and the next court will be at least an hour away. The emperor is not here. The imperial study is an important place. No one is allowed to enter. It's freezing, you This body can't stand it."

After Chang An finished speaking, Li Chongguo started to cough violently again, he was so out of breath, it felt like his throat was split open.

"It doesn't matter, even if I die of illness in the palace today, I must see the emperor."

For the sake of his Li clan, he could only take risks and do the opposite.

"Oh well."

Although Chang An couldn't bear it, he took Li Chongguo to the imperial study.

The two stood at the door and waited. An hour later, Nanmo City finally came back.

"Li Aiqing, why are you still in the palace?" Nanmocheng asked suspiciously.

They are all so sick, do you want to be so dedicated?

It's been a long time since anyone died in the palace, it's rare that it's so clean, Nanmo City doesn't want to add bad luck.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the old minister has something to report." Li Chongguo was shivering from the cold, his lips were blackened, he knelt on the ground and crawled to Nanmo City's legs step by step.

He didn't dare to touch Nanmo City, for fear of staining the dragon robe.

Nan Mocheng frowned, raised his foot and strode into the imperial study.

Chang An had already set the stove in advance, and the temperature in the imperial study room was moderate, neither cold nor hot.

Nan Mocheng read the memorial for a quarter of an hour before the case, and then said leisurely, "Come in."

His voice is always so gentle, like a fallen angel.

If Li Chongguo was granted amnesty, the emperor would not let him in, his sickly body would really freeze to death.

Chang An opened the door to let Li Chongguo in, but he wisely guarded the door to prevent outsiders from approaching.

Seeing Li Chongguo like this, it must be a big event.

Li Chongguo knelt in the imperial study room as soon as he entered. The temperature rise made him seem less nervous.

It's the sweat flowing from the forehead, and the body shaking like chaff.

Nanmo City: "????"

It's freezing cold, and it's not that hot in the house!

He doesn't eat people, so what!
