The palace that was filled with billowing thick smoke was completely on fire at this moment. The closer Su Li got, the clearer the woman's cry for help became. It's just that she was weak in the first place, or was choked by the thick smoke. weak.

Su Li looked around. Although the palace was remote, there was no maid or eunuch guarding it. It was so strange.

Su Li pursed her lips, slowly came down from the lawn beside her, and looked into the open window from a distance, and saw a sweet and lovely girl in the firelight, whose appearance was not inferior to Qi Xuexuan's, but one was Yujie's appearance, A small family of jaspers, each with its own characteristics.

The girl was wearing light and gorgeous clothes and a very expensive golden crown on her head. Her hands were tied together with a thick hemp rope, and the hemp rope was tied round and round to the pillars of the hall. There was a firm knot tied at the other end of it, and there was no way she could escape it.

At this time, the girl found someone looking outside the window, and immediately shouted to the window with all her strength: "I am Rong Yi, the seventh princess who is His Majesty's favorite, no matter who you are, if you save me, I will definitely let the emperor reward you a lot!" you!"

Su Li wasn't interested in rewards, he asked emphatically, "Are you a princess? Why are you tied up here?"

The young man's clear and pleasant voice made the girl stunned for a moment. After hearing what he said, her eyes turned red, and she choked up and said in despair: "My father promised me to Xu Huaishan, the concubine son of Prime Minister Xu. I fell in love with that Xu Huaishan at first sight. Today He asked me to meet here. In order to deceive others, I deliberately asked for leave and did not attend the birthday banquet of the emperor's grandmother. I also removed all the guards and maidservants around me. I waited for him here for a long time, and then I was stunned from behind, waiting for me When I woke up, I found that my surroundings were like this...Xu Huaishan, that bastard! I will never let him go!"

Su Li was surprised, "How do you know that Xu Huaishan stunned you?"

Rong Yi gritted her teeth, "I was checking his makeup in front of the bronze mirror when he came in, and there were three moles on the tail of his little finger, I would never be wrong!"

Su Li sighed. Apart from not being able to figure out how they were going to pour dirty water on him, he already had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

Su Li took off his robe, which was heavily stained with wine, and went to a lotus pond not far away, picked up the water from the pond and quickly wet his body, then covered his mouth and nose with his wide wet sleeve, and rushed into the palace in.

After Rong Yi finished speaking, there was no response from the window. Just when she was afraid of being helpless, a figure kicked open the locked door. Su Li took a rough look into the room, then smashed a vase, Picking up the hot tile through the sleeve, he rushed to Rong Yi to help her cut the rope, protected her mouth and nose, and led her to escape.

The two sat on the lawn panting heavily, Princess Rongyi looked at the moon that she thought she would never see again, tears slid out of her eyes as soon as her eyes turned red.

"I'm so good to him, why did he treat me like this? Why? How can I feel sorry for him? "

Seeing her crying so heartbroken, Su Li couldn't bear to say: "The princess has nothing to do with him, but the princess' identity does."

Rong Yi raised his confused eyes.

Su Li hinted, "Young Master Xu has high ambitions."

That's right, logically speaking, Xu Huaishan is just a concubine. In other dynasties, he might not be worthy of such an honorable status as a princess, but Dazhou is different. It is a rule that sons-in-law are not allowed to serve as officials in the court, so most of the candidates for son-in-law are bastards with both ability and political integrity.

But even though Xu Huaishan is the concubine of the family, his talent is much higher than that of the concubine. In addition, he has been the prince's companion since he was a child. If the prince ascends the throne one day, he will have the merits of being a dragon. Competing for the position of prime minister, how could he be willing to be a son-in-law?

Although Rong Yi looks silly and sweet, she grew up in the palace after all. When Su Li mentioned it, she understood the joint, and the sad eyes were gradually replaced by anger.

"He's using me!" Xu Huaishan used his future son-in-law's status to get close to the emperor and the crown prince, and kicked her away when his goal was achieved.

Su Li comforted: "Princess calm down."

Princess Rongyi glanced at Su Li with gratitude, "You saved me today, what reward do you want, I will go to the emperor to ask for it for you."

Su Li curled his lips, involving Xu Huaishan and the crown prince, it might be a series of events today, if he couldn't even save his life, what reward would he want?

He shook his head slightly, and said in line with Gu Jingzhi's character design: "It's not a moral thing to do nothing. I just did what I should do. The princess doesn't need to ask for any reward for me."

"How does this work!"

Su Li smiled brightly, his pine-like water face was so handsome under the moonlight that Rong Yi couldn't take his eyes off for a moment, he got up and bowed to Rong Yi, "If the princess really wants to thank me, I will thank you later." Gu Jingzhi is extremely grateful to go to the hall to help me get rid of the crime."

Gu Jingzhi...

Su Li picked up the outer robe on the ground and put it on again. At first glance at night, there was no sign of getting wet. Su Li said goodbye to Princess Rongyi, and then returned the same way. The back made Rong Yi stunned for a while, after the ecstasy of the rest of her life passed, a wave of weakness surged up her limbs, and she passed out from exhaustion——

Su Li returned to the original place, and waited for a while, only to see that the maid was late, Su Li didn't ask anything, and followed the maid to the side hall to change into clean clothes.The original owner already had body heat, plus the heat evaporated from walking back and forth, it would be hard to see the traces without looking carefully when he put on new clothes.

In this way, Su Li returned to the palace to continue attending the banquet.

While drinking, he inadvertently felt a gloomy gaze. Looking over there, it was the crown prince looking at him with fleeting malice. Su Li smiled back calmly, and he did everything he could do. Next, soldiers can only come to cover the water and soil.

The banquet was in the middle and late stage, and everyone was almost drunk, when suddenly the chief guard rushed in in shock——

"Your Majesty! Something is wrong! Jiuyun Palace is in trouble!"

coming.

The drunkenness of everyone cleared up immediately, and the emperor was furious and said, "What's going on?!"

Wouldn't it be bad luck if there was water in the palace on this happy day!

The chief guard was trembling, "I can't find out the reason! Now people have been dispatched to put out the fire. The Jiuyun Palace is located in a remote place and usually no one lives there. Presumably there will be no casualties."

"You can't find out the reason, and you can't find out the reason! What good do I want you, the head guard! Drag it out and kill it!"

"Father, you must not do it!" The prince stood up to stop him, "Today is the day of the emperor's grandma's great joy, you can't see blood, not to mention that the Jiuyun Palace is located in a remote place, and there is a lotus pond nearby, which is humid all the year round, how could it be burned for no reason?" Come on, there must be something strange in it, please ask Qin Tian to supervise it."

Dazhou is a country that believes in Taoism very much. Every state banquet, the last link is the Qin Tianjian deduces the stars, calculates the fate of the country, and then tells everyone how the fortune of Dazhou will be in the coming year, and how to avoid it if it does not go well.

The current Qin Tianjian is a middle-aged Taoist priest with white hair and youthful face, surnamed Zhang. Su Li watched him get up from his seat, salute, retreat to the door, look up at the stars, and calculate with his head down... more and more curious and so on. What is holding him.

It wasn't until Qin Tianjian frowned and stretched, stretched and frowned, and repeated this three times, that he uttered a lot of astrological terms, which probably meant that there was a guy in the hall today who was in conflict with the emperor, blocking the emperor's star , which caused Jiuyun Palace to leak for no reason.Jiuyun, Jiuyun, isn't it the place where the real dragon emperor star above the nine heavens lives.The flood in Jiuyun Palace is just the beginning. If this person is not eliminated, then the emperor's political fortune will not go well, and his life may even be in danger over time...

Only then did Su Li suddenly realize——

Numerology?It turned out to be numerology?

The word "absurd" immediately popped into Su Li's mind, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized the sinister nature of this fortune telling bureau.

As soon as Qin Tianjian's words fell to the ground, not only Su Li, but everyone present didn't really believe it. The emperor looked at Qin Tianjian with a cold look in his eyes, "Ai Qing is serious?"

Qin Tianjian said confidently: "May I ask where the Seventh Princess is now?"

"What does Aiqing mean?"

"The seventh princess's horoscope is the most similar to your Majesty's among all the princes and princesses, but the seventh princess is a woman, and her horoscope is lighter. If this person wants to hinder your majesty, I am afraid that the seventh princess will be bumped by this person first, and the next step. According to the results of the minister's calculations, the Seventh Princess's life star is already dimmed, obviously she has been suppressed to death by this person."

The emperor was furious, "Nonsense!"

At this time, the queen suddenly let out an ah, and she said in shock: "Today Yi'er is indeed asking me for leave, saying that she is not feeling well. I wanted to go to Jiuyun Palace to cleanse myself and pay homage to the Buddha for three days, but my concubine thought she might be contaminated with something unclean, so I didn't dare to let her attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, so I agreed, unexpectedly..."

The emperor's eyelids twitched, and he ordered the chief guard, "Go and see the princess' bedroom!"

The head guard led the order to go, and came back a quarter of an hour later and said: "The princess is indeed not in the bedroom!"

There were gasping voices everywhere during the banquet. It seemed that what Qin Tianjian said was not false. They had already started to discuss in detail in private. During the discussion, they all had panic expressions on their faces, fearing that what Qin Tianjian said was about themselves .

"Send more people to the Jiuyun Palace to find Princess Seven! Hurry up!"

"I obey—"

The emperor sat on the dragon chair in a state of exhaustion. According to what they said, Jiuyun Palace was almost burned. If Yi'er was really inside, he might be a scorched corpse by now.

The emperor felt sad, and the next second the prince stood up and stared at Qin Tianjian, "Who is the evil star Zhang Daochang said! He killed the seventh sister, and he must be dragged out and beheaded for public display! lest he bring disaster to the country and the people again! "

Qin Tianjian pondered for a while, then pointed at Su Li in embarrassment.

"The evil star is none other than Gu Jingzhi, whom His Majesty personally appointed not long ago!"

All eyes were on Su Li.

The prince suddenly realized and reminded everyone, "When the accident happened in Jiuyun Palace, it seems that Gu Qing was the only one who left the banquet!"

Suddenly rumors spread.

Rong Jue looked at these people coldly like clowns, you sing me and me, a pair of cold eyes locked on Qin Tianjian, the cold light inside was like a sharp knife, "How come Gu Qing just went to the side hall to change clothes and came back to mess with him?" commit such a great crime?"

Just as everyone's rationality was pulled back a little by his words, who would have thought that the court lady who led Su Li away suddenly knelt down in the center of the hall trembling, obviously she had been bribed, so now she was leading Su Li tremblingly. Li told everyone what happened after he left, and Qin Tianjian immediately said: "The garden is located in the windward position of Jiuyun Palace, he must have killed the Seventh Princess!"

The prince looked at Su Li with red eyes: "You killed Seventh Sister!"

The emperor looked at Su Li under the influence of the two, and there was helplessness and reluctance in his eyes, but the sadness of losing the seventh princess came to the father's eyes even more, "Gu Qing, what can you say?"

Seeing Su Li being confronted like this, Rong Jue was about to stand up immediately. At this moment, as if he had a feeling in his heart, he suddenly met Su Li's clear and calm eyes like an ancient well without waves.

He's telling him, no, he can handle it himself—

This is the court, it is the shadow of swords and swords, and there are turbulent undercurrents. He can protect him for a while, but he cannot protect him forever, so he must have the ability to protect himself, and he must not let others slaughter him!

Rong Jue looked into the boy's eyes, hesitated again and again, but decided to believe him.

Seeing Rong Jue sitting back, Su Li felt a little relieved, and turned his gaze to the expression on the prince's eagerness to get rid of him.

The seventh princess is not his sister, but the daughter of the queen's deadly enemy, Concubine Mei. It is of course a good deal to use such an eyesore sister to remove the thorn in his heart.

Su Li almost wanted to applaud this well-fitted trap, it was really calculating, and Su Li was not stupid, if they wanted to take him to Jiuyun Palace and set him on fire to set the princess on fire, they would probably be as cautious as Su Li, it would be impossible He was fooled, but with the help of the theory of fortune telling, even if he didn't do anything, even if he didn't see the eaves of the Jiuyun Palace, he would be sure of the blame, it's really unavoidable!

It's absurd to say, but the ancients were very taboo about numerology.And even if the emperor is soft-hearted and refuses to kill him now, with the death of the princess before him, he will definitely be kicked out of the court. At that time, he will join hands with the Qin Tianjian to make some illusions that ghosts are haunting the emperor, and Su Li will not be able to escape. one dead.

Su Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry, did it take such a complicated situation to kill him?It seems that Rong Jue's protection of him and the emperor's love really made these people helpless.

But it's a pity that it's easy for Su Li to break through such a complicated situation.

Seeing that Su Li remained silent for a long time, the prince couldn't help sneering, "Why do you have nothing to say, Gu Jingzhi?"

Su Li ignored him, but looked at Qin Tianjian, and suddenly smiled, his eyes narrowed slightly when he smiled, "If I remember correctly, this is the first time I met Daoist Zhang today, right? Dare I ask how the leader is?" Know my birth date?"

A trace of panic flashed across Qin Tianjian's face, "This..."
