The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

Huo Wuyou wanted to stay in the palace for a while to finish the unfinished business on the boat today, but he couldn't find a legitimate reason. Xue Zhiyi had no intention of keeping him at all. He just watched with a smile as he hesitated to say goodbye to the empress dowager.

In the next few days, Huo Wuyou did not find a reason to enter the palace, but Xue Zhiyi heard rumors in the court.

Tu Yuxian, the Minister of Dali Temple, is suspected of being partial to and perverting the law in the Lu Yan case, and secretly letting the suspect escape. Since this is a serious case, Tu Yuxian and his entire family have been imprisoned for investigation.

This is not surprising. Although the emperor tacitly approved of letting Lu Yan escape, Tu Yuxian was useless and left a handle. The emperor had no reason to protect him, so he could only deal with him according to public opinion.

What's more, at the morning court today, there were only a few scattered people who pleaded for Tu Yuxian, while the rest of the people all stood up and participated.

After all, there are only two groups of people involved in the party struggles in the court. Tu Yuxian is Gu Shichong's man. To the Sheng Wang party, he is a political enemy, so they naturally hope to get rid of him as soon as possible.

But for the Prince Gong Party, Tu Yuxian was a traitor and certainly could not be let off.

Xue Zhiyi was not surprised to learn about this. This matter developed exactly as she expected. After a lot of twists and turns, she had fulfilled her promise to Huo Wuyou that day.

The Dali Temple is now vacant. As for whether Huo Wuyou, who has taken office as the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, can take control of the entire Dali Temple, it depends on his own luck.

When Xue Zhiyi was working in the Empress Dowager's study, Jingchun came up to her and whispered to her.

She was just taking inventory of the study's items and consumption when Jingchun said stealthily, "Sister Zhiyi, do you know that Lanying's crime has been determined?"

Xue Zhiyi just stopped writing and looked at her: "Oh? What crime?"

Jing Chun sighed, "It is said that he plotted to murder the prince and tampered with the No. 1 scholar's palace flower. He should be sentenced to death. Maybe his family will be implicated as well."

Hearing this, Xue Zhiyi thought in his heart: When the Tu family was at its peak, it was difficult to determine Lan Ying's guilt. Now that something has happened to the Tu family, all the blame has been put on her, regardless of whether it is her fault or not. The Ye Ting Si really knows how to behave.

Xue Zhiyi nodded and continued transcribing, saying indifferently, "Now, I don't know who is implicated between her and the Tu family."

"Aren't you too cold? After all, he's someone we've worked with before." Jing Chun complained.

Xue Zhiyi didn't even bother to look at her this time, and said in a casual tone, "Then why don't you die for her?"

Jing Chun choked, but didn't dare to argue with Xue Zhiyi, and just said cowardly: "What does it have to do with me..."

"You also know that it has nothing to do with you?" Xue Zhiyi just smiled and asked her calmly: "Then why are you being so kind?"

Jingchun was speechless and left dejectedly.

Xue Zhiyi shook his head and continued writing.

She really didn't know how Jingchun had survived in the palace for so many years.

……

Prince Cheng's Palace.

Gu Shimin's eyes carried the murderous aura of a military commander, and at the moment he was deep in thought, no one knew what he was thinking about.

Xue Tingliu, who was still dressed in plain clothes, said, "Your Highness, now that the Dali Temple is vacant, it is a good opportunity for us to send our people in. Although His Majesty has appointed Huo Wuyou as the Dali Temple's Junior Minister, we still have to do our best to take the position of Dali Temple's Minister.

Gu Shimin only sneered, like the cold light suddenly appearing in the scabbard of a sword: "My third brother is now trapped in the mansion, and he is very worried, but the Ge family will run around for this matter. In the past, the Dali Temple was under their control. Now it will be much easier for them to keep the Dali Temple in their hands than for me, but the Dali Temple can accomplish too many things. We must never let it fall into Gu Shichong's hands again."

Hearing this, Xue Tingliu bowed his head and said, "Your Highness is right. Although Gu Shichong has the advantage in this matter, he just made a mistake. We can also take advantage of the victory and pursue him."

"This is natural."

Gu Shimin stood up, took the long sword stained with the blood of countless people from the sword rack, and slowly pulled it out.

"Although this plan succeeded in defeating Gu Shichong, some things were beyond my expectations."

Xue Tingliu said nothing, but quietly observed Gu Shimin's expression. He saw that the cold sword reflected Gu Shimin's face, and there was ferocity in his eyes and brows.

Gu Shimin asked, "Xue Qing, why would Gu Shichong suddenly want to forge evidence?"

He turned around and looked at Xue Tingliu: "According to our plan, Tu Yuxian led his men to break into Chunfeng Tower, but found nothing, which was enough to prove that he was making groundless accusations and falsely accusing his brothers. But Gu Shichong seemed to have noticed my actions in advance and thought that I was just luring him into a trap, so he forged the so-called letter."

As he spoke, he fiddled with the sword in his hand and said, "If it weren't for my people who led father to discover that the letter was a forgery, I'm afraid Gu Shichong would have succeeded."

He spoke slowly, but with a suffocating tone: "Although Gu Shichong suffered heavy losses this time, he used a forged letter to put down many of my supporters. How is this different from reporting me to my father?"

Thinking of this, Gu Shimin's hand gripping the hilt of the sword creaked. "Father has already taken this opportunity to get rid of some of them. Although Father has not yet made a decision on the rest, they are all handles that Father can use at any time."

He gritted his teeth and smiled: "Xue Qing, we won this time, but it was a miserable victory."

Xue Tingliu's eyelashes trembled, and suddenly, he said: "Your Highness, could it be that Gu Shichong, like us, also has an informant hidden in the palace?"

After hearing this, Gu Shimin's eyelashes sank, and then he couldn't help but laugh. He slowly said: "It's not impossible... someone in the palace who is related to Tu Yuxian."

Suddenly, something occurred to him: "Does Tu Yuxian have a daughter working in the palace? Jianzhang Palace?"

Xue Tingliu's eyes suddenly trembled, and a strong killing intent surged in his heart...

"Xue Zhiyi." He said, "Xue Zhiyi is in Jianzhang Palace."

In his mind, the name of the person who made him want to tear her into pieces and swallow her like prey appeared again. The beast that seemed to live in his heart once again bared its sharp fangs.

He didn't know why he had such a strong feeling for Xue Zhiyi. He even felt that this woman should be like a meal on her plate. Every inch of her body should belong to him so that he could enjoy it to his heart's content.

Even... before his background was clear, he had had this impulse several times, which made him have such a desire that had nothing to do with love between men and women.

Sooner or later, he would make Xue Zhiyi kneel at his feet, let him pinch her jaw, look at her bloody and miserable appearance, and beg humbly at his feet.

Thinking of this, Xue Tingliu's lips curled up into a sinister smile: "Your Highness, if Xue Zhiyi is not dead, I'm afraid he will hinder our plan sooner or later."
