After Lin He's crazy accusations came out, everyone in the Nuan Pavilion panicked, fearing that they would become the targets of silence.

The first rule of survival in the palace is to cover your ears and shut your mouth. Although secrets can satisfy curiosity, they can easily take away your life. Regarding the events seventeen years ago, these older palace residents naturally

I was also very impressed. After all, the replacement of imperial power is the most important thing in the world.

Because of this, everyone in the palace understood that it was the evil in Emperor Kaiping's heart, and no one could touch it easily.

Who would have thought that the young man kneeling on the ground would be so crazy? He would dare to say the words "Chen family" in front of His Majesty.

At this moment, Lin He could no longer be described as bold, so the faces of the important ministers around him were ugly, so much so that Gu Liang kicked him to the ground after angrily scolding him, and the others did not stop him or impeach him for the crime of misconduct before the emperor.

Gu Liang is recognized as the number one master in the Liang Army. Although this kick was not at full strength, it was not something that Lin He, who was in the mid-10s with martial arts training, could withstand. Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and his face became paler, but there was something in his eyes.

He showed a cheerful smile and made a ready-to-kill gesture.

Before last night, he had never thought that death would come so soon, but when the gorgeous fireworks exploded over the northern suburbs, he realized that this was Pei Yue's plan. The other party used a common move to invite you into the urn,

But he had accumulated so much depression and resentment after losing his arm that he was blinded by anger.

In fact, before Bei Weiying showed up, he had already calmed down, and then quickly figured out how to move forward. Originally, he just wanted to use the power of the second prince and Wang Pingzhang to convict Pei Yue of linking the descendants of the Chen family.

Since this was a trap, Lin He did the opposite and simply exposed the second prince and Wang Pingzhang in front of Deng Zai and others.

Only by making things worse will there be a chance to reach heaven.

Lin He did this not in the hope that the law would not punish everyone, but to hand Pei Yue a knife, because he knew that Pei Yue had conflicts with the second prince and Wang Pingzhang, and the other party would never miss a good opportunity.

Things turned out as he expected. Pei Yue sent him and Liu Fei into the palace, and then the emperor and important officials from the two governments gathered together.

What he wanted to do was to reveal the events of that year directly under the witness of these important ministers.

In this way, although he himself will inevitably die, Pei Yue will definitely not have an easy time. There will definitely be a thorn in the emperor's heart, which may strike at any time in the future. As for Chen Xizhi, that bitch, Lin He is 80% certain that the other party is still alive.

As long as the emperor wants to investigate further, there is no place in the world for her.

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but look at Pei Yue with a sad smile, his eyes full of unabashed pride and provocation.

Then I heard the cold voice of Emperor Kaiping: "Pei Yue, how do you respond to Lin He's accusation?"

Pei Yue saw Lin He's eyes and said disdainfully under the other's gaze: "Your Majesty, this man has lost his mind and gone crazy. What he said before was nothing but nonsense."

Emperor Kaiping's expression was unclear and he said slowly: "Is Chen Xizhi dead?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the three people kneeling below showed no reaction, and the important ministers next to them all felt awe-inspiring.

Who would have thought that he would hear the names of descendants of the Chen family from His Majesty's mouth? On such a depressing occasion, His Majesty's tone was far from cold, as if he was speaking the name of an ordinary person. This attitude is worth pondering.

Pei Yue raised his head, looked at Emperor Kaiping calmly, and said: "Your Majesty, I was ordered to go to Lingzhou to assist Shitan Temple in preparing to build a mine and business. Then I encountered a small group of Xiwu cavalry in Linqing County, and chased them all the way to a group of people."

We were in a canyon called Qishanchong, where we were ambushed by Chen Xizhi and his men. If Chen Xizhi's wife Ye Qi hadn't arrived in time, I would have died under Chen Xizhi's sword."

This was the first time he told about his experience in the Western Region, and his expression was calm and unhurried, which actually made the atmosphere in the Nuan Pavilion gradually return to normal.

Facing the emperor's meaningful gaze, Pei Yue continued: "After the Longbow Camp cavalry arrived, I and my subordinates were rescued, but Chen Xizhi escaped. Then I returned to Xingyang City and captured all Chen Xizhi's men.

They were beheaded, which led her and Xiwu to conduct a night attack on the imperial envoy's camp. Finally, I forced Chen Xizhi to commit suicide in front of the Chenghuang Temple in Xingyang. Everything I said is true. There must be a file at Taige, and your Majesty can send someone to verify it. "

Lin He said angrily: "You're talking nonsense! I was seriously injured by Chen Xizhi that night, and then I didn't go to the scene at all. Only you know whether Chen Xizhi is dead or not!"

Pei Yue shook his head, looked at him with pity, and said calmly: "Lin He, there is something I can't figure out. Why are you so confident? You have to remember that you are just a secret agent.

One of them is not Mr. Shen who understands the overall situation. Frankly speaking, whether you were present or not and whether you witnessed Chen Xizhi's death does not affect Mr. Shen and His Majesty's knowledge of the details of the matter."

Lin He opened his mouth slightly, his expression gloomy.

Pei Yue turned to look at Emperor Kaiping and said calmly: "Your Majesty, this is my response."

Emperor Kaiping nodded slightly. Of course he would not say that in addition to Tai Pavilion, he also arranged for additional personnel to monitor the Western Region. The secret report submitted was completely consistent with Pei Yue's explanation.

Lin He was a little panicked when he saw this, but before he could continue to struggle, he heard Emperor Kaiping calmly say: "Wei Guogong."

Wang Pingzhang's heart trembled, and he responded calmly: "I'm here."

Emperor Kaiping said unhurriedly: "A few months ago, you mentioned the same problem to me. You suspected that Pei Yue did not kill Chen Xizhi, but just made a false impression to deceive me. At that time, you said that you would send someone to the spiritual prison.

Let’s check whether Chen Xizhi is dead and what is the final result?”

Wang Pingzhang's mind raced. Today's situation was so confusing that for a moment he couldn't determine whether it was aimed at himself or Wang Jiuxuan. Based on his decades of experience in standing proudly in the court, he subconsciously felt that the emperor's question was extremely sinister.

Although countless thoughts were flashing through his mind at the moment, he still responded calmly: "Your Majesty, the people sent by the old minister reported that a corpse was indeed found in the tomb on the outskirts of Lingzhou, because it has not been long.

Because of this, we can roughly determine the face of the corpse. According to the identification of soldiers from the Beijing camp who had seen Chen Xizhi, the corpse is similar to Chen Xizhi, but it cannot be confirmed that it is this person."

Emperor Kaiping chuckled softly.

Even though Wang Pingzhang left a lot of room in his words, given the hostile relationship between him and Pei Yue, these words actually proved everything for Pei Yue.

Wang Pingzhang felt helpless. He made that suggestion in front of the emperor, so naturally he could not exclude the emperor's confidants from the investigation team. In fact, he had already reported this matter to Emperor Kaiping half a month ago, and now the other party asked him to endorse it. , obviously to help Pei Yue solve hidden dangers.

As the focus of everyone's attention, Pei Yue was in a very complicated mood at the moment.

On the one hand, it is because Emperor Kaiping did not break his promise after the wedding night and showed support for him in this matter. From this perspective, perhaps the emperor no longer cares whether Chen Xizhi is still alive. Just like Mr. Xi’s judgment when he was in the southern border.

on the other hand……

Pei Yue resisted not to look at Silent Cloud. Shen Danmo mentioned this matter at that time and said that Silent Cloud would help him one last time. Lingzhou had to send people from Silent Cloud to help, but Wang Pingzhang could only return empty-handed. Thinking of the open break between himself and Mr. Shen today, Pei Yue was naturally filled with emotions.

The most panicked person at the moment was Lin He. No one wanted to die in vain. If he couldn't take advantage of today's opportunity to kill Pei Yue, wouldn't everything he did be a complete joke?

He shouted without thinking: "Your Majesty, Pei Yue is lying! He must be lying! With the agility he has shown over the years, he will definitely not leave such obvious loopholes. Your Majesty, the loyalty of a humble minister can be revealed by the sun and the moon." Ah! It was precisely because this matter was related to old events that I chose to ask for help from the King of Weinan County, because he was a member of the royal family. In addition to him, I also asked Wang Jiuxuan, because it was the Duke of Wei who led people to destroy—— "

This time he didn't finish his sentence, and the person who took action was surprisingly Silent Cloud.

It was the first time that Pei Yue saw this middle-aged man show off his martial arts, and his eyes lit up. He had always thought that the man was a civil servant with no foundation in martial arts, but he didn't expect that his attack would be quite fierce.

Silent Cloud knocked Lin He unconscious with one palm, then knelt down and apologized: "Your Majesty, I taught my subordinates incompetently, please punish me severely for my incompetence!"

Emperor Kaiping said coldly: "Someone, drag this madman down."

Silent Cloud looked sad.

Emperor Kaiping waved his hand and said: "Shen Qing, you have really disappointed me this time. After all, you have to take some responsibilities to appease Youyou. Get up first, and we will talk about you later."

Silent Cloud gave a rare sigh, bowed his head and said, "I thank your Majesty for your kindness."

At this moment, Wang Pingzhang stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Pei Yue secretly sneered several times when he saw this.

Old fox, is it too late to worry now?

If you had not chosen to sit on the sidelines and let Lin He bite me to death, but had instead put all the blame on this person and settled the matter early, maybe I would have to put in a little more effort.

There is no regret medicine in this world.
