Chapter 301 Pipa Ballad 12
"I...do I have a fever?"

"The poison in your body is gone, don't talk yet, I'll clean the poison in your body again."

After the whole torment, she had just been injured again, but she really had a fever. This injury lasted for nearly a month.

She also lost a lot of weight, and the little baby fat that had just been raised disappeared immediately, and her face, which was not big at first, became smaller, revealing a pointed chin.

His face was even paler, like snow in winter, as if it would melt if he was not careful.

It was also during this month that the Xiao Mansion, Minister of the Ministry of Officials in the capital, fell into a huge crisis.

Somehow, a murder case that was originally the responsibility of the Minister of Dali Temple was revealed again, and the family members of the victim actually sued the emperor.

It stands to reason that the emperor has long ignored court affairs, and everything is left to the prince to take care of it. On this day, the emperor just remembered to take a memorial.

What I happened to be looking at was the memorial about this murder case that was presented below, and it was also a typical public prosecutor.

The emperor was furious immediately, and directly sent Zhou Furen to investigate the matter thoroughly, and soon a case file was presented to the emperor.

In that case file, not only the truth of the murder case, but also the relationship spectrum from Dali Temple to Shangshu Baiguan.

Among them, Xiao Shangshu stands out. From Dali Temple to the entire official department, almost all officials are controlled by him, and those officials are more or less related to him.

The emperor's forehead broke out in cold sweat when he looked at the case file. He almost controlled one-third of the power in the court.

How can such a person stay? !How can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch?How could the prince be so relieved and let it develop? !
The more the emperor thought about it, the more angry he became, he hammered heavily on the table, "Go and call the prince!"

It is said that that night, the emperor was very angry with the prince, and the prince did not return to the East Palace all night, and knelt in the Taiqing Hall for a whole night.

Immediately afterwards, the Xiao Mansion was raided, along with a series of officials involved in the murder case. The rest were related to Xiao Shangshu, but it was not obvious for the time being, and they were all demoted or withdrawn.

The prince looked at the list, and his heart ached. Half of them were officials who took refuge in him, and most of them were introduced by Xiao Shangshu.

He also hated that in his heart, Xiao's side concubine in the mansion was directly removed from the position of side concubine and treated as a concubine.

Xiao Qiang was staying in the mansion well at first, thinking about what to do next if he didn't kill King Ping this time.

Who knew that catastrophe was imminent, and when the prince's order came down, she was still in a daze, with an expression of disbelief.

And with the dismissal of this group of officials, the court still needs to function, so naturally someone needs to fill these vacancies.

Those officials who were originally conscientious and did not seem to be well-known, but repeatedly made outstanding achievements in their posts directly attracted the emperor's attention.

He didn't dare to let the crown prince intervene this time, so he simply waved his hand and promoted all the officials to the vacant positions.

And almost [-]% of them were from King Ping, but the emperor didn't know that.

He was still secretly rejoicing that the person surnamed Xiao hadn't interfered in the imperial examination, otherwise wouldn't he have no talents under his command?
Besides, Prince Ping's mansion is still calm, but Lian Ping has been thinking of various ways to deal with the poison in Qing'er's body, but nothing works, he can only suppress it, but not remove it.

And Qing'er's poison has also been verified, it's not cold poison as thought at first, but ice fire poison.

Lian Ping only found out after consulting countless classics that this kind of poison originated in southern Xinjiang. In fact, it is poison rather than Gu.

When Lian Ping was considering whether to take Qing'er to the southern border in person, the hall master of the dark hall brought a woman to Prince Ping's mansion.

The master of this dark hall was the man in black who was in King Ping's study last time, and the dark hall he was in was King Ping's power in the whole Daliang.

That woman was a poison master who joined the Dark Hall two years ago. Not only that, her methods were quite clever, and in just two years, she directly became a branch leader of the Dark Hall.

The woman's face was covered with gauze, her eyes were captivating, and she moved with charm.

When she was first brought in front of King Ping, she was directly reprimanded by Lian Ping, "Put your eyes away, don't think about what you can't think about."

The woman lowered her head, a cold light appeared in her eyes, she looked respectful on the surface.

Just now when the woman appeared, she cast a spell on King Ping, that's why he reprimanded him.

The hall master looked at the woman complicatedly, but didn't speak.

Qing'er was also lured out of the Gu worm by the woman as expected, and after taking a few more doses of decoction, her pale face turned a little bloody, and it seemed that she had indeed improved.

After Qing'er got better, the woman left with the master of the Dark Hall, and Prince Ping also received an invitation from the General's Mansion during this period.

It is said that the General's Mansion got a calligraphy and painting by a famous artist, but Su Lie is a rough man who doesn't know how to appreciate it, so he specially invited King Ping to come and appreciate it.

At the end, he also vaguely mentioned his concern for Qing'er, the maid he rescued last time. It seemed like a casual mention, but in fact, the meaning was obvious.

When Lian Ping received the invitation, he almost rubbed it to pieces. What rewarding paintings is rewarding talents, right?
Prince Ping felt quite unhappy in his heart, but he had to face up to Su Lie's strength.

In the news of his subordinates, there is no trace of this person's biography, and the only biography he has appeared from ten years ago.

Moreover, he became famous in one battle, was directly awarded the title of mighty general, and enjoyed the treatment of a prince. After that, this man calmed down again.

He seemed to be only loyal to the emperor, and he was always polite to every prince and minister, including the prince's several overtures of kindness, but the other party was indifferent.

But sometimes, this person would go crazy and not even give him the emperor's face. One of these times, the emperor wanted to marry him, but he refused directly in court, without saving any face.

The old emperor was angry for a while because of this, but in the end he didn't care about Su Lie anymore. After all, Daliang really needed such a general.

And even though Lian Ping hates him for coveting Qing'er, he admires him very much in his heart.

After all, in such a world, few people can live so freely, at least for him, so far he has not been able to achieve freedom.

This also made King Ping couldn't help thinking that if he failed in the end, then Qing'er entrusted to him should also enjoy his life in peace.

But this is just the worst plan. As long as he still has breath, he will never give in!

However, three days later, Lian Ping finally took Qing'er to the General's Mansion for the appointment.

Compared with Lian Ping's reluctance, Qing'er is very curious about the General's Mansion, and he heard that he was the one who rescued him from the water, so he should be more grateful, shouldn't he?

When they arrived, Su Lie came out to greet them directly.
