When Xia Zhi came, he was full of smiles, but when he left, he was full of anger. Fuxiu knew that something serious had happened, and followed Xia Zhi cautiously, not daring to say a word.

On the way back to Yongqing Palace from Dingguohou's Mansion, Xia Zhi was full of thoughts about how he would punish Lin Fang for his crimes, how to make him lose face, knowing how powerful the emperor is, but——

If he was so capable, he wouldn't have to worry about Concubine Mei.

In the final analysis, he is still the blame of his puppet status, he is really too useless, let alone talk about what can't be done, and he has to be angry with others all day long.

This Lin Fang is even more ignorant and lawless, almost riding on his own head!

Xia Zhi couldn't help but think of the time when he just woke up, how wonderful Lin Fang was at that time, asking about his health, doing everything by himself, making progress in the blink of an eye, not as good as a beast!

I really want to scold my mother for selling me!

Xia Zhi was in a state of desperation, and before he left, Lin Fang's words of "Zhu Mei's three clans" kept turning in his mind. The closer he was to the date of Concubine Mei's birth, the more worried he was. When he went to sleep at night, he held his chest with both hands, I am afraid of encountering accidents in my dreams.

After waiting for a few days, I didn't hear any news. I asked Fuxiu to inquire about the news, but every time he returned in vain.

"Okay, Lin Fang, are you playing psychological warfare with me? I'll wait!" He said in a dignified manner, but his calves were already shaking.

Fuxiu came in from the outside, holding a box in his hand, said with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty, this is sent by Lin Shizi."

The emperor was in a bad mood recently, he reckoned that Lin Shizi took the initiative to show his favor, the emperor should be happy.

Unexpectedly, Xia Zhi opened the box and saw that "The Doctrine of the Mean" was lying in the box miserably, and there was a note attached to it, which said: "The case of Mei's case, I will decide for myself."

Xia Zhi was so angry that he raised his hand and knocked the box over to the ground.

Such a good Lin Fang, it wasn't enough to ridicule him back then, but now he even wrote a note and passed it into the palace to protest. It seems that he is determined to destroy the Mei family.

"Emperor?" Fuxiu looked at Xia Zhi anxiously, not daring to speak.

"Burn it for me!" Xia Zhi said impulsively, pointing to the box on the ground and the "Doctrine of the Mean".

Fuxiu responded, quickly picked up the things, and threw them into the charcoal basin beside him, a cluster of dazzling fire suddenly burst out in the basin, instantly engulfing the books.

Xia Zhi's throat rolled down, and he choked back the words before he had time to say them.

This Fuxiu's movements are neat, but he hasn't had time to read that book yet!

Dingguohou Mansion.

Lin Fang complained that he was sick at home, and he didn't go to court for several days, and he didn't see Xia Zhi coming to visit him, so he was quite resentful.

When his cheap father was sick, Xia Zhi came over non-stop, now that he knows that he won't let the Mei clan go, he doesn't take him seriously, it's really ruthless!

"Qinglan," Lin Fang was still sick, but his head was not idle, pointing to the box beside him, "send this thing into the palace and hand it over to the emperor."

Qing Lan asked: "What should my subordinates say?"

Lin Fang said firmly: "There is no need to say anything, the emperor will understand after seeing this thing."

Xia Zhifan was still worried about Concubine Mei, so he would definitely come to make peace with him, but if he backed down a little, the two of them would surely be reconciled again.He snorted triumphantly, Mei Fei is nothing, she dares to stand between him and Xia Zhi.

However, this wishful thinking was in vain, and Qinglan came back to report immediately after returning home that the box had been thrown into a charcoal basin and turned into ashes.

Lin Fang slammed his fist on the pillow, it seemed that Xia Zhi was going to tear himself apart with him, and he was determined not to compromise.He sneered, and said slowly: "Pass my words, Concubine Mei's assassination of the emperor is a great treason, and she should punish the three clans. After Concubine Mei gives birth to the emperor's heir, she will be executed immediately."

Qing Lan responded, bowed and stepped back.

Qingzhu felt sorry for her running around for days, stopped her, and said: "Junior Sister, why don't you leave the errands to me?" As he said that, he wanted to go out.

"Come back." Qing Lan grabbed Qing Zhu's collar and dragged him back, expressionlessly said, "Where are you going to send the message, senior brother?"

Qingzhu said: "Naturally, it is the government office where the Mei family is imprisoned."

"No need," Qing Lan said, "you just need to enter the palace and tell Eunuch Fuxiu the news."

Qingzhu was puzzled: "Then about the execution..."

"Senior brother is really confused," Qing Lan cast a glance at him, "If the Mei clan is really punished, I'm afraid it will become you and me."

Qing Zhu glanced at the position of the wing room in bewilderment, and became more and more puzzled: "What's the reason for this?"

A rare smile appeared on Qing Lan's face, she looked at her stupid senior brother, and said slowly: "It doesn't make sense."

When he couldn't hear the news, Xia Zhi tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. He really knew Lin Fang's decision, but he was even more frightened, and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Fuxiu looked at the panic-stricken look of the emperor, and comforted him: "Your Majesty, although the case is being heard by Shizi Lin, the real decision is either Prime Minister Lin or the Empress Empress. The emperor is really angry with Shizi Lin for this..."

He didn't dare to say the following words clearly, the emperor is in a difficult situation now, only Lin Shizi still has a sense of loyalty to the emperor, if the two of them dislike each other, the emperor will really be alone in this palace in the future.

"Queen?" Xia Zhi gritted his teeth when Fuxiu mentioned the queen, "Let's go, follow me to Lama Temple."

Concubine Mei's body became more and more heavy in the past two days, and this day was even more hazy and bright, and she felt pain in her lower abdomen. The midwife had already made preparations, and the side hall was tightly surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside.

When Xia Zhi arrived, the queen said in surprise: "The concubine is about to send someone to report to the emperor."

Knowing that Concubine Mei is about to give birth, Xia Zhi is not happy at all. The emperor's heir is like a butcher's knife urging his life, and he may cut his own neck at any time.He grabbed the queen's wrist without any scruples, pulled her to one side, and asked in a low voice: "The queen promised me to let the Mei family live, why did she go back on her promise now?"

The queen gently held her stomach with both hands, and she couldn't help being taken aback when she heard the words: "What does the emperor mean by this?"

Xia Zhi said: "Lin Fang intends to kill the Mei clan, the queen, please don't tell me, you don't know about it."

"Your Majesty, I, Lin Qingmei, can afford it and let it go. The Mei family is just a useless person to me, and the Mei family has nothing to do with me. Why should I be in trouble with them?" , As for how Lin Fang should deal with it, that is his business. I remember that the emperor has always been close to him, shouldn't such important matters be discussed with him?"

"Zhen..." Xia Zhi was speechless, he didn't want to discuss it, but he just tried his best, but it backfired, making Lin Fang even more disgusted with Concubine Mei.

He was in a state of desperation, so he listened to the report from the maid, and Lin Shizi begged to see him.

Xia Zhi suddenly sat upright, staring straight at the door. When Lin Fang entered the hall, he couldn't help frowning, feeling that he was much thinner than when we met last time, and his whole face was a little pale.

Lin Fang obviously didn't expect to see Xia Zhi here, so his expression was a bit dazed.

The empress was pregnant, her energy was low, she was easily fatigued, she had no time to ask about the affairs of these two people, and she was too lazy to talk to her, and was about to see how Concubine Mei was doing, when she saw Qing Lan rushing in with a pale face.

"Your Majesty." Qing Lan shouted in a trembling voice.

Lin Fang frowned: "What's the matter?"

Qing Lan glanced at everyone in the hall, with a hesitant expression.

Lin Fang said, "It's okay to be straightforward."

"Returning to the son," Qing Lan subconsciously glanced at Xia Zhi's position, and said in a difficult voice, "I just received the news that one hundred and three members of the Mei family were killed outside the city gate at noon."

Snapped--

Lin Fang got up suddenly, and the teacup in his hand was knocked to the ground by him, the tea spilled all over the floor, the teacup rolled on the ground twice, hit the toe of Qinglan's shoe, and barely stopped.

Turning his gaze to Xia Zhi, he saw his face was pale, his hands were trembling, and he was stunned, as if he had lost his soul.

"Your Majesty." Lin Fang hurried to his side, grabbed Xia Zhi's wrist and wanted to signal his pulse.

"It's not good, ma'am," a palace maid suddenly rushed in from outside the door, knelt and trembled, "The maid of Concubine Mei broke into the delivery room just now, saying... that the three families of the Mei family are all gone, and concubine Mei... ..."

"What!" The queen looked solemn, got up abruptly and left.

"Let go." The blood on Xia Zhi's face disappeared in the blink of an eye, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and his voice was hoarse when he spoke, as if he couldn't exert his strength. He pulled his wrist back from Lin Fang's hand weakly and stubbornly , with his palms on the table, he stood up and said in a muffled voice, "I... I'm going to see Concubine Mei."

Every time he took a step, the soles of his feet seemed to be stepping on cotton, and the fear of death that was about to fill his heart made him lose his mind, and his whole body seemed to be covered in clouds and mist.

Every time Xia Zhi took a step, he felt a throbbing pain in his chest. There was a loud scream from the side hall. Concubine Mei's voice pierced his eardrums, making him dizzy for a while. Countless words flashed in front of his eyes. white light.

His body was on the verge of falling, and a cold hand stretched out behind him, grabbing his elbow forcefully.Xia Zhi clenched his teeth, tried his best to throw him away, and walked towards the side hall while leaning on the wall.

Suddenly, there was a cry of "wow", and the baby's loud cry resounded throughout the Lama Temple. The corners of Xia Zhi's mouth curled up uncontrollably, and the consciousness hidden in his body seemed to come to life along with the cry. Come here and start taking control of this body again.

Before he could enter the side hall, he heard a terrified voice: "Your Majesty, no..."

His footsteps stopped suddenly, Xia Zhi leaned half against the wall, listening to the cries that gradually sounded in the hall, his eyes stared blankly at the dark sky ahead, under the twilight, the cold wind rolled up the fallen leaves, blowing along the long corridor Then, the dead leaves with the smell of mud hit his face, Xia Zhi took a long and slow breath, but the breath was coiled in his throat, and could not reach his lungs no matter what.

The feeling of suffocation in the chest became more and more intense, and his fingers trembled and curled up into a ball because of the pain. Xia Zhi closed his eyes in a daze, and his body slid along the wall and fell to the ground.
