He sighed and extended his hand to help Ni Yu and the others up.

Qin Lingmo was very clear on what the little Emperor was thinking. The Imperial Jade Seal on the imperial edict was real, and it was hard not to have some bad thoughts. There was still a gap between father and son, not to mention, the most subtle was between father and son. Once the balance was broken, the world would become unstable. The little emperor knew Qin Lingmo's capabilities and power. If he were to work with the other Feudal Lords in the imperial court, the little emperor's position would be shaky.

This was a bitter tactic. From ancient times, many capable advisors had been destroyed by this barrier. Their blood and flesh had been splattered all over the place. In the end, they had become nothing but bones under the feet of the hegemony.

Qin Lingmo wanted to say, "Your Majesty, why must you do this?" How can I tell right from wrong? All I want is to protect the country and the people. You are the future king, what reason do I have to rebel?

But even so, there were some things that could not be pointed out. Ever since ancient times, the affection between the nobles and princes had been mixed with falsehood. It was difficult to determine which was the true one, and it was better to be confused with which was the true one.

When Ni Yu stood up, he wanted to stop the bitter feelings that he was feeling, but if that happened, it would become false. He walked to the table and handed the imperial edict to Qin Lingmo.

"Do you have any way to bring down the mastermind behind this?" Ni Yu raised his head and stared at Qin Lingmo, carefully observing the changes in his expression.

Seeing that Qin Xiang was lost in thought, the little Emperor became extremely angry. His eyes flashed with anger, "I can't believe there are worms like this by my side! I will not show mercy! " He slapped the red wooden table, and the green and white teacup trembled, spilling out the tea.

"Bring Zhang De in!"

There was a hubbub outside the tent. After a while, that palm-print eunuch was brought in by all sorts of things. The Imperial guards' officer Jin Xiao pushed him forward and kicked him. The eunuch who was tied up like a dumpling threw himself forward and fell flat on his face.

"Your Majesty, the person is here." Jin Xiao clasped his hands and bowed.

His hair was disheveled, his clothes were disheveled, and half of his face was swollen like a pig's head. Jin Xiao grabbed him by the neck from behind and straightened his back. When he raised his head, he was met with the cold gaze of the little Emperor Ni. Although the little Emperor was still young, he already had the aura of suppressing others, causing Zhang Dekai to shudder violently.

"If you answer honestly, I'll spare your life." The little Emperor suppressed his anger and asked, "If you report anything, I will reward you."

Zhang Deke trembled and lowered his head, not saying a word.

"Speak!" Who made you fake the decree! " Jin Xiao snapped at him while grabbing his collar.

The palm-print eunuch swallowed his saliva mixed with broken teeth and blood. He straightened his neck and shouted, "If you want to kill me, then kill me. What nonsense are you spouting!"

"Ha!" Do you know who this is? Take a good look, this was the black-hearted Prime Minister who ate people without spitting out their bones, Qin Xiang! He has eighteen unique skills on torture, to the point where even if you wish to live or die, you'd better admit defeat. Otherwise, your death will be too miserable, and no one will dare to take you in after entering the Hades Palace! "

Jin Xiao slapped the eunuch's shoulder. His usually candid face was dark, especially when he mentioned Prime Minister Qin. His expression was like that of an angel from hell, ready to drag an eyesore into the abyss of death at any moment.

"Cough …" Qin Lingmo coughed lightly and glared at his good friend with an unfriendly expression.

The palm-print eunuch trembled as he glanced at Qin Lingmo with a quivering gaze. Half of his body had gone limp, and a pungent smell permeated the air.

"Speak!" "Who told you to frame my husband and I!" Ni Yu stepped forward with a thunderous expression on his face. He was still a child after all, and he couldn't keep his calm any longer.

The palm-print eunuch trembled. A hint of determination flashed through his eyes, and his head jerked up. The light in Qin Ling's eyes darkened as he yelled, "Not good! His teeth are poisonous! "

Jin Xiao immediately grabbed Zhang Deke's jaw and tried to pry his mouth open. However, the eunuch had already given up. His teeth were about to shatter, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Jin Xiao had no other choice but to watch the eunuch's glowering eyes slowly grow dim.

"There's no saving him." The palm-print eunuch collapsed to the ground. He was bleeding out of his seven orifices, and his face was ashen. He felt for his pulse again, but it was already gone.

"Bastard!" Ni Yu angrily kicked the corpse twice. Initially, he did not think that he could successfully obtain the information behind the scenes. Since palm-print eunuchs dared to do such a thing, then the arrangements behind the scenes must have been very meticulous. However, seeing that there was no proof, he angrily kicked a few more times.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. Your subject has already predicted this would happen." Qin Lingmo's countenance was serene, his handsome features unperturbed. If Cai Liuzhen had been so easily grabbed by the fox's tail, he would have been stripped to a thousand pieces by now.

When he thought of the fox, Hu Ying flashed a sweet smile in his mind. Her eyes were as clear as the moon, sparkling like the billowing waves. Warmth filled his heart, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

This subtle change did not escape Ni Yu's notice. He was sensitive enough to realize that something had caused his Prime Minister Qin to be in a good mood. He had never seen such a gentle smile at that moment.

"Uncle, did you remember something? You seem to be in a good mood? "

"Ah …" "It's nothing, I was rude." Recovering from his shock, Qin Lingmo lowered his head and cupped his hands together. When he raised his head, his expression was the same as ever.

"Your majesty, although this subject does not have a direct method to topple the scenes behind the scenes, we can still strike the mountains and shake the tigers. We can follow the vines and pluck the melon."

"Oh? "Uncle, please explain it to me in detail." The people of Ni Yu's group immediately became excited. He motioned for Jin Xiao to drag the corpse out while he took a few steps forward.

After a moment of silence, Qin Lingmo lowered his voice and said, "This subject has always thought that Cai Liu Zhen was targeting this subject, but after this matter, this subject understands that Cai Liu Zhen's real motive is for you, your majesty. Regarding the prescription, this subject has already explained in the imperial report that although the original prescription contained a forbidden ingredient, it was a good cure for the Emperor's chills at that time, and Bai Yang was the witness. However, after that, Cai Liu Zhen colluded with someone in the Imperial Hospital to make a report on the amount and composition of your medicine, and increased the toxicity of Wushi San. "This can be used to frame this subject, but at the same time …"

"Damn it!" Ni Yu said with hatred.

"I guess Cai Liuzhen didn't leave any evidence on this matter. That servant girl of the Cai family and someone from the Imperial Hospital are probably already dead. Bai Yang is lucky, otherwise, he would have gone to the hall to report." Qin Lingmo paused for a moment before continuing, "However, your majesty, this matter isn't entirely without benefits. It's a good reason to eliminate those who are not my equal. I can use this reason to eliminate some of the bad forces …"

"Husband means …" The little Emperor frowned as a bright light flashed through his eyes.

"Twelve taels of loquat, half a coin for cloves, and one and a half for Lan Zhi …" At the Happy Restaurant, Hu Ying washed the cored loquat meat and put it into the pot. The pot already had enough boiling water to dissolve the sugar. After stirring for a while, she put the clove and Lan Zhi in. After that, she had to soak them for an hour before she could proceed with the next step.

It was already the middle of the night, and the sound of the gongzi's and the gong's gongs could be heard from outside the shop. It was already the middle of the night.

Hu Ying sat by the pot, one hand supporting her chin, the other poking the loquat in the pot, a little absent-minded. She cast a spell to make the little Emperor's stomach ache, so that he could be summoned to the poplar. After that, she returned to the store and prepared the loquat wine that she had previously ordered.

However, Hu Ying, who had always believed that "waste is a sin, luxury is an unforgivable sin", had already treated Litchi as a loquat and peeled off its shell for the third time. Only then did he wake up abruptly.

She thought about whether Ling Mo had successfully escaped from prison, and whether the little Emperor could settle this matter. As she thought about it, she realized that there seemed to be a brazier under her butt, causing her to stand up and run to the entrance to take a look, and then wander around the courtyard.

She wiggled her furry ears and tail, but there was nothing left to do. She just squatted by the pot, hugged her tail, and counted the hairs on her tail.

The wooden crow in the front hall flew over and landed on Hu Ying's shoulder. After pecking her on the ear, it cackled loudly and said, "Hahaha, what happened? Long jump? "Don't worry, I know a veterinarian who has had a dose of medicine for ten years."

"Go go go, go. Don't you see that I'm busy with something big?" Hu Ying waved her hand to chase away the crow.

"Counting the tail is a big deal?" The wooden crow landed on a nearby branch of a white peach tree and used its beak to comb through the feathers on its back. He continued to smile at Hu Ying, "Don't blame me for not saying anything. The more you count, the fewer hairs there are. Be careful of the youth's baldness."

"Go!" Crow's beak! " Hu Ying swung her tail, rolled her eyes, and got up to check the pot. He picked up the hawthorn silk and was about to pour it into the wok when he suddenly stomped his feet and said to himself, "If you want to go, go. If not, flip over the wall again. I'm a fox, what am I afraid of …"

Hu Ying threw a handful of hawthorn silk into the pot, turned around and ran out of the courtyard.

"I'll go to the palace to take a look, help me look after the wok!" "I'll give you a taste of your own medicine if I have less of it!"

The wooden crow helplessly shook its head, flapped its wings, flew over, and lightly landed on the pot's edge. Tilting his head to look at the pot, he picked up a loquat and gulped it down.

"Even more so, it's Ming Yue Hua Tang [1]. I, the little widow, have wrongdoings to complain about. Either aunt, sister-in-law or sister-in-law are leaning against the door with their hands on their waists." "As she spoke, her body swayed, and the tip of her foot knocked against the wall …"

Xiao Wu, who was humming a small tune while eating the loquat, had long forgotten about Hu Ying's instructions.

It was late in the night and the sky was dark.

The sound of galloping horses suddenly came from the public road to the east of the city. As the sound of the horse's hooves stopped outside the door of a certain mansion, the sound of the door knocking and the noise spread in the darkness.

"Eunuch Li, please wait a moment. This humble one will go and inform the lord right away!" The butler quickly instructed the servants to prepare a lantern carriage before heading to the inner courtyard.

Soon, a middle-aged man wearing a brown cloak with golden silk lining walked out. He cupped his hands towards Eunuch Li who was waiting outside and said, "Eunuch Li has worked hard."

Eunuch Li, who was sitting on his horse, cupped his hands in greeting. "Lord Cai, please do it. Don't make the emperor wait any longer." As he spoke, he turned the horse around and took a few steps away. The horse carriage rushed over, and the middle-aged man didn't say anything as he stepped onto the carriage. The butler held up the lantern to prevent the master from knocking against it.

A dim yellow light illuminated the plaque above the mansion, shining upon the calligraphic characters written on it, "Cai Mansion".

The carriage hurried towards the palace, and inside the carriage, Cai Liuzhen's thoughts raced, but he did not know why he had been summoned so urgently that night. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.

After entering the palace, Cai Liuzhen, led by Eunuch Li, hurried back into the palace. Eunuch Li did not say anything along the way. No matter how hard Cai Liuzhen tried, he did not leak a single word. He only said that Lord Cai would naturally know when he became a saint.

As they hurried through the gate, a shadow passed over the high side of the roof. Under the moonlight, the faint outline of a fox could be seen.
