The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

Xie Lin could sense that the Queen had ill will towards him.

But his expression didn't change.

He spoke calmly, "Prime Minister Zheng, no matter how high his official position is, he is still a subject of the emperor. However, he is so arrogant that he deceives his superiors and subordinates, making the people below live in the shadow of his power. They can only be angry but cannot speak. Is this acceptable?"

The emperor's eyebrows twitched. Is it true that Xie Lin is going to criticize all the ministers of his previous dynasty one by one tonight?

They were all ministers whom he trusted and relied on very much. The former prime minister would rather protect his letters than fall down and bleed. He is still grateful for the prime minister's sincerity.

Xie Lin even wanted to talk to the Prime Minister.

"What mistake did the Prime Minister make? You are accusing him with such serious words! You have to think carefully before you speak, otherwise you will not only be punished with a stick, but also lose your head."

The emperor was furious.

Xie Lin was not affected by his anger: "Your Majesty, the plan to stop Xirong from supporting Nanqi was made by a commoner, but it was unexpectedly replaced by the Prime Minister, and it became the credit of Lu Kai, the Minister of Personnel."

This is impossible. The emperor's first reaction was that the prime minister was loyal to him and would never deceive him!

Moreover, it was because of that strategy that Lu Kai was promoted from Censor to Minister of Personnel.

It must be Xie Lin who is slandering the Prime Minister!

"Where is the evidence? Without it, I will chop off your head!" The emperor could no longer control his anger.

This situation made the queen happy.

Prime Minister Zheng Wenkang is the uncle of the third prince Dongfang Shuo. She knows clearly that the prime minister wants to support Dongfang Shuo to sit on the throne and is secretly against her, her mother's family and her son.

She has been fighting with Zheng Wenkang for more than ten years and knows clearly how cunning and treacherous Zheng Wenkang is.

Now in the court, Zheng Wenkang is competing with her father and is a very difficult opponent to deal with.

Now Xie Lin actually dared to challenge the Prime Minister, but he had almost no chance of winning.

Wen Tingshen also looked at Xie Lin again.

He believed that the plan might really have come from Xie Lin, and Xie Lin did have such talent.

Moreover, when he heard that Lu Kai could persuade Xirong not to support Nanqi, he was very unbelievable.

He had seen Lu Kai before. He was a little clever, but not much, and didn't seem like the type who could come up with that kind of plan.

However, since the Prime Minister dared to replace Xie Lin's plan, he would definitely not let Xie Lin get any evidence.

Xie Lin doesn't know anyone in the court, so who will testify for him?

Therefore, Wen Tingshen was also worried about Xie Lin.

Xie Lin said: "I asked General Wen Ce to personally deliver the letter to the palace. Later, General Wen Ce came back and told me that when the Prime Minister took the letter and presented it to the emperor, he fell down.

"Later, everyone went to the inner room and watched the imperial physician treat the prime minister's wound. It was also at that time that the person the prime minister had planted in the Purple Palace replaced the letter."

Before the emperor could get angry, Xie Lin said, "I have evidence."

Wen Tingshen was worried about him again.

It would be fine if they said that the prime minister had planned to replace him, but they also said that there were prime minister's spies in the Purple Palace. Isn't this just poking at the emperor's lungs and also poking at his heart?

The emperor trusts and relies on the prime minister very much.

If the evidence is not sufficient, I'm afraid Xie Lin will be in danger tonight.

Xie Lin continued, "I have sprinkled poison that corrodes raw flesh on the letter I wrote. If it is not noticed within three days and no antidote is used, the flesh on the person's hand will rot. Even if the antidote is used, it can only alleviate the symptoms and will not be cured within six months.

"If Your Majesty wants to verify whether what I said is true, just call the Prime Minister and Lord Lu to verify it one by one."

Wen Tingshen said: "Lord Lu is still on his way, why not ask the Prime Minister to come and have a look."

"Is it possible that Xie Lin knew that the Prime Minister's hand was rotten and deliberately used this to frame the Prime Minister? We have to tell you what kind of poison the Prime Minister was infected with to make it credible, right?"

As the queen spoke, she felt resentful in her heart. She hated herself for having to speak for her son's mortal enemy at this moment. If she could get rid of the prime minister, it would be great.

But she thought it would be better to get rid of Xie Lin first.

Otherwise, she would not be able to explain to the emperor why Xie Lin looked so similar to the prince, and when the court officials saw him in the future, there would definitely be all kinds of rumors.

Xie Lin said: "The main medicine is Sophora flavescens, with more than a dozen auxiliary medicines added, so that the effect is different from that of Sophora flavescens alone."

The Queen sneered: "If you really presented that plan to the Emperor, wouldn't that be equivalent to saying that you wanted to poison the Emperor?"

The emperor also realized this and stared at Xie Lin sharply.

Wen Tingshen stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Queen, I think Xie Lin's move is very clever. He doesn't know anyone in the court, and he's worried that others might take advantage of his plan, so he sprinkled medicine powder on the letter. As long as the antidote is used within three days, there will be no problem.

"It is said that one should not have the intention to harm others, but one must be on guard against others. I think Xie Lin has done this. He never intended to poison the emperor, but he also protected his own plan. He has the best of both worlds.

"Otherwise, how can he prove today that the plan was not from Lord Lu, but from him? Wouldn't he have to suffer in silence for the rest of his life?"

The emperor said in a deep voice: "Send the Prime Minister to the palace!"

It was late at night and the prime minister had already gone to bed, but before he went to sleep he heard that Yuan Heng had been summoned to the palace.

He knew that this was a matter between the Xie and Yuan families and had nothing to do with him. He went to bed with the good wish that "it would be best if Xie Lin could hurt the Yuan family." However, he was summoned while he was sleeping soundly.

On the way into the palace, he thought back to the recent days and made sure that he had not made any mistakes. Instead, he presented Lu Kai to the emperor and solved a huge crisis for the emperor. The emperor is still grateful to him to this day.

He was summoned to the palace this time, perhaps because the Yuan family lost the fight with Xie Lin, and the Yuan family was the queen's maternal family. The emperor couldn't make up his mind, so he asked him to enter the palace to help decide.

The prime minister thought about it and felt that this possibility was the most likely.

After all, he had connections in the Zichen Palace. If there was any news in the Zichen Palace that was unfavorable to him, he would have known about it long ago and would never be caught off guard.

As soon as he walked into the Zichen Palace, he noticed that the atmosphere was not right.

There was no fighting or quarreling in the palace. Xie Lin stood in the palace and the queen sat next to the emperor. It was unexpectedly harmonious.

The fight he imagined did not exist at all.

"What's wrong with the Prime Minister's hand?" the emperor asked, his voice unable to tell whether he was happy or angry.

Summoning him to the palace in the middle of the night just to ask about his hand? Besides, when would the emperor pay attention to a minister's hand? The prime minister felt that the matter was not that simple.

He thought for a moment and said, "A few days ago, my family member was careless and got scalded by hot water. I didn't pay much attention to it, but the weather was hot and my finger became rotten and festering. I have asked a doctor to check it out and it will be fine in a while. Your Majesty, I am very grateful for your concern."

The emperor winked at the imperial physician beside him.

The imperial physician immediately stepped forward to examine the prime minister. The prime minister did not dare to refuse and allowed the physician to tear off the gauze and examine his injuries.

"Your Majesty, there are indeed more than a dozen kinds of medicines such as Sophora flavescens."

The emperor threw all the memorials in his hands to the ground - even his most trusted prime minister lied to him!

The Queen's heart trembled violently. The Prime Minister actually fell into Xie Lin's hands? ! !
