   Chapter 533 One Hundred Thirty Two Scapegoons

   He patted Xiao Heng on the shoulder as he spoke, looked at him and nodded with a smile: "Okay! His Highness's style is really not something in the pool, my minister these years."

   He looked a little sad again: "Forget it, don't say it, don't say it, Your Highness has a noble status. Now that you have returned to your standard, it is Tianyi who is like this, and this minister is also happy for you."

The fifth prince knew that they must have a lot to say when they meet again after separation, so he said goodbye without waiting for Xiao Heng to speak, and patted Xiao Heng on the shoulder: "What I told you just now, the prince entered the palace from outside. , I must be clearer than me, if you have anything to ask, just come out, I can go first."

   Xiao Heng nodded at him.

   The fifth prince exchanged a few words with Song Xiangyu before going to Fengzao Palace to greet Concubine Pang Gui.

Concubine Pang Gui was talking to Aunt Cui about Tian Xun: "As expected, she is a well-rounded person, but now she is the most important person in the Empress Dowager's heart. Since she is her concubine, let's just be a personal favor. When she leaves the palace, you will personally represent this palace. Give her ten pieces of brocade and a pair of pomegranate seed bracelets on gold threads."

Aunt Cui should be so, but she couldn't help but sigh: "In the past, this girl seldom entered the palace, but I couldn't see it. It turned out that such a thing would happen. Speaking of which, she is much smarter than the eldest girl, I'm afraid the queen mother I have high hopes for her."

"It also depends on her life." Concubine Pang Gui disagreed. She rewarded Tian Xun just to give face to the Queen Mother. As for the thoughts of the Queen Mother, she could see through it, but she didn't. How to take it seriously - if Xiao Heng was not assertive, he wouldn't be able to get to where he is today.

Whether    can become the eldest grandson of the emperor depends on Xiao Heng, not the empress dowager.

   "What life?" The fifth prince listened and came in from the curtain: "Who is this concubine talking about?"

   Seeing her son, Concubine Pang's smile increased a bit: "Why are you willing to come over earlier today? This palace sees that you are now a horse without a bridle."

   winked at Aunt Cui again.

Aunt Cui smiled and left, and Concubine Pang Gui told the fifth prince about the real business: "Your grandfather is going to have a birthday, our family is now cooking oil with fire, flowers are decorated with brocade, fifth, you have to be clear-headed and honest. It's an eventful time, when everyone can't wait to keep their eyes on us, if your father asks you to go out to celebrate your grandfather's birthday, you have to have some measure in your heart, do you know?"

The fifth prince immediately understood the concubine's deep meaning, and hurriedly nodded to assure: "Don't worry, you have told this matter many times, and the son knows it very well. The father used to carry the fourth brother, and then he spoiled him again. Ah Heng, it's just because he is worried about the power of the Pang family, his son has thoughts that he shouldn't have, and his son will never go wrong and give others the wrong way."

Concubine Pang Gui was really overjoyed that her son could think of this so quickly, she clicked her tongue: "It's actually enlightened, thanks to your aunt who came to the palace a few days ago, and this palace also said that you are very stupid, I'm afraid I don't have that fortune, now it seems, it's not very stupid."

   After teasing a few words, Concubine Pang Gui was tired and pressed her waist, leaned her head on the pillow behind her, and exhaled slowly.

   The fifth prince felt a little distressed when he saw that her eyes were tired: "Mother and concubine have been too worried recently."

"Can you not worry about it?" Concubine Pang Gui smiled bitterly: "It seems to be something outside the palace, but in fact, how can it be so simple? Your father is in a very bad mood for the death of King Fenyang, and these days, he often enters the harem. It’s just the case. How many people have been killed? There is also Princess Fenyang, she came to the Queen Mother and Ben Gong to cry many times. A few days ago, there was a lawsuit between Princess Yongning and Princess Mingchang. Everything is a thing.”

   The more you are in the center of power, the more you can feel the turbulence.

   Now all the forces are about to move, and she, the noble concubine who has raised the fifth prince, has to be extremely careful, otherwise, if she doesn't pay attention, she is afraid that she will fall into someone else's trap and become someone else's pawn.

  The fifth prince felt a little depressed, and couldn't help but said: "Don't worry too much, mother and concubine, the matter of King Fenyang has been investigated, and the father should make a decision soon."

   "Where did you hear about this?" Concubine Pang Gui straightened up, feeling a little awe-inspiring for a while: "You"

"Don't worry, concubine, I didn't inquire about it!" The fifth prince said confidently, "Today, the father asked me about my homework, and I heard it openly. He Zhizhou still wants to silence Uncle Yongding and Qiaoning, this is no small matter. , you will soon hear the wind."

   Concubine Pang Gui's eyebrows became gloomy. After a while, she tapped her fingers on the table, and then slowly said, "Okay, okay!"

  In the afternoon, the cabinet's documents were sent to various yamen. Qiao Ning was sentenced to the autumn queen, and He Zhizhou was ordered to be severely tried. He must explain the matter clearly. As for the Qiao family's property, all of them will be put into the state treasury.

   In addition, the soldiers of the five cities and the yamen in various places were ordered to arrest those who colluded with the Qiao family and concealed prohibited weapons.

  The capital immediately put martial law everywhere, and everyone knew for a while that someone instructed the Qiao family to kill King Fenyang and frame Chen Dong, a thousand households of Jinyiwei.

  Chen Dong came out of the punishment department unscathed.

   And by coincidence, as soon as he returned to Jinyiwei, he led a team to arrest the group of unknown people.

   With the addition of Jin Yiwei, things that had no clue at first immediately became apparent. Within a few days, Chen Dong led people to a private house in the eastern suburbs, and arrested a few soldiers.

   The old woman who was imprisoned by the Qiao family identified that these soldiers were the ones who fled in the capital late at night that night.

   The situation was turbulent, which inevitably affected many people. The alchemist in white pushed the door and entered the room, with a cold and solemn expression on his face that was completely different from before, and shook his head at Qi Yunxi: "No, I'm still arrested."

The    was finally transferred out, thinking that he had gotten through so many ties, and then he avoided the suburbs, and it would be okay to wait until the limelight passed, but who knows that even if this is the case, he will still be caught.

   Jin Yiwei's ability to do things is as good as ever.

   Qi Yunxi raised his eyebrows, the cup in his hand was suddenly clenched, and then thrown to the ground.

The white-clothed alchemist didn't even look at it, but said, "This time, there must be blood, otherwise, if there is something wrong with the surname He and this side, if we are implicated, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss? Don't fight for a moment. ."

  Qi Yunxi's brows were heavy, her face was cloudy, and she patted the table with a half-crack: "Then what do you mean, who is the most suitable for this scapegoat?"

   This is a compromise.
