I can tell fortunes, so I’m not easy to mess with [Cross Book]

Lu Qi was puzzled, this feeling of worry and doubt, but he couldn't find the specific crux, was like a stick in his throat, it was very congested, although it didn't show on his face, but his voice sank after all: "You look like this now, why don't you look like this? What do you want to cooperate with?"

Bai Yiling followed his gaze and glanced at the shackles on his wrist, and smiled slightly: "Identity is not my bargaining chip, whether it is a commander or a prisoner, it will not affect what I want to do. Now I can provide the prince with two pieces of information." [-]. Your Majesty has come out of a coma; [-]. Now I have threatened Dai Li and forced him to take me into the palace for a face-to-face meeting."

Lu Qi was shocked suddenly.

He understood what Bai Yiling's words meant, and suppressed his voice almost to nothing: "Your consciousness is that someone controls the emperor and wants to usurp the throne?"

As soon as this sentence came out, both of them felt a sense of absurdity in their hearts.It is a bit ridiculous that Linzhang King, who is suspected of rebelling twelve hours a day and really wants to rebel himself, will be shocked to hear that someone else has become a rebel in front of him. .

Bai Yiling said, "Yes."

Lu Qi pondered for a moment, both of them were smart people, he didn't need to ask how Bai Yiling dared to tell him this news.

Now part of the military power in his hands has been distributed to Lu Yu. The biggest reliance is that even if King Youzhou rushes to the capital at this time, it is absolutely impossible to retreat faster than Lu Yu and Zhen Guogong. It was not designed by Lu Qi, so this time he would not be able to take the opportunity to do anything else.

So Lu Qi didn't think too long, and simply said: "What do you want me to do?"

Bai Yiling said: "Go to the palace to find out about Gao Guilie's situation. If the situation in the palace changes, then the master messenger behind the scenes will definitely not allow my parents and His Highness Duke Huai to enter the city easily, and please help me."

To put it bluntly, let him help Lu Yu, Lu Qi felt very uncomfortable.But seeing Dai Li who was not far away looked anxious, hesitated to speak, it was really not the time to delay, although his face was ugly, he didn't say much, and said yes.

He has a good attitude, and Bai Yiling doesn't mind saying something nice: "My lord is still so straightforward in handling things, which makes people happy."

His words brought back the memories of the two of them working together in the past, Lu Qidao: "You are the only one who can command me to move me, but it's just because I like you."

Bai Yiling laughed, patted Lu Qi on the shoulder, and said: "Don't say that, you are willing to cooperate with me because this matter can't work out and we'll end up together, it's for your own sake, it has nothing to do with me. Your lord slapped me in the face I won't be able to bear the money."

He withdrew his hand, greeted Dai Li, and was about to leave, his tone was somewhat teasing and somewhat serious: "Anyway, that's all I have to say, whether you like to do things or not, you can decide for yourself."

Dai Li accidentally heard Bai Yiling's last words. He didn't expect him to be so ruthless when facing Lu Qi. He stumbled in fright, afraid that Lu Qi would be angry, and rushed over to grab him , then they will not be able to leave again.

But Lu Qi didn't say anything else, he just stood there and watched Bai Yiling's back leave, with the drizzle of residual lotus in his eyes.

There was a vague trance in my heart, and I suddenly remembered how many times when I was young, I sent him out like this.However, there was still a return date at that time, but now, there is only a dream left in the past.

Bai Yiling took the time to look back, only to see Lu Qi still standing there and looking in his direction. From such a distance, his figure looked so bleak and desolate, as if his whole body was enveloped by a faint layer of black air.

He is very satisfied, the pure resentment effect produced by the system is quite good.

It's just that even if nothing happened, the meeting hall at this time is already in chaos.

Although he had just woken up from a coma, the emperor sitting on the dragon chair looked pretty good at this time, but the officials below were all talking about it, and the main content was about the battle report that had just been sent.

This can be regarded as a rare piece of good news in recent days. King Huai and Lord Zhen Guo successfully broke through the encirclement, and together with the King of Youzhou, drove back the pursuers and set fire to the grassland at the border between the two countries.

The last move is the most ruthless. At this moment, when the autumn leaves are dry and yellow, and the westerly wind is blowing, the fire will be difficult to extinguish. The wind swept the entire grassland all the way. In order to avoid the flames, the illustrious soldiers had to Running towards the Jin army in the opposite direction, Lu Yu and the others happened to come to surround the furnace, severely injured and retreated.

Zhen Guogong and others led the army to station temporarily to deal with a series of subsequent matters, while King Huai took the soldiers in his fief and returned to the capital first.But because the emperor was seriously ill a few days ago, the gate of the city was closed, but the army was blocked outside.

"Your Majesty, the death of the great prince and the sudden entry into the palace are very strange. There are so many rumors and people are panicking. I think other colleagues have also experienced it."

After reporting the news, Zheng Hao, the admiral of the Nine Gates, took the lead in advising the emperor: "I am not suspicious of King Huai, but there is nothing wrong with being cautious in everything. The city gates cannot be opened easily. I think that King Huai should be ordered to keep his troops and horses behind him. Outside the city, enter the palace alone to have an audience."

This is reasonable, and it doesn't sound too much to ask at first glance.But the people present are all the spirits who have been immersed in the officialdom for many years, so how can they not understand the mystery hidden in his idea?

Zheng Hao's point of view was that if Duke Huai had no intention of disobedience, it would not be an embarrassing request to enter the palace alone, so in order to prevent unnecessary danger, it is not too much to ask him to enter the city alone.But from Duke Huai's point of view, this is not the case.

Obviously he came back triumphantly after winning a battle, and he didn't know what happened in the palace, and he was asked not to lead his subordinates in without any reason, if he was just an individual, he would be paranoid, how could Duke Huai agree?In the end, according to Zheng Hao, if he disagreed, it meant that he wanted to rebel.

After these words were spoken, the other ministers immediately became confused.Whether it was intentional or not, none of the princes were present during the summons this time, and how they should express their stance is also a problem.

Grand Master Nie first disagreed and said: "Dudu Zheng's words are wrong, King Huai's treacherous move, but he was able to turn defeat into victory and defeat Hehe. Wouldn’t everyone’s hearts be chilled by suspicions caused by a little rumor?”

As soon as this remark came out, Prime Minister Li who was opposite him also said: "If it's unnecessary, I'm afraid it will only create a rift between His Majesty and Duke Huai's father and son. This approach is inappropriate."

There are opponents and there are supporters, but General Liu said: "Emotional estrangement can be cured by verbal communication, but the entry of an army into the city is not a trivial matter. If it leads to irreparable consequences, who will be responsible? Your Majesty, Duke Huai's subordinates." The army must not enter the city!"

"Okay." After the ministers were arguing, the emperor finally spoke. He has always favored Duke Huai. He reasoned that if he was dissatisfied with Zheng Hao's words, he would refute them from the very beginning. But if he hasn't spoken for so long, the omen is not good. .

Grand Master Nie's heart raised slightly. He tried his best to lead Lu Yu to lead troops into the city. In fact, there was another deeper reason, but it was difficult to express. While hesitating, the emperor had already made a final decision: "The opinions of all my loves I already know. The decree was sent to Duke Huai to leave the soldiers and horses outside the city, unload his sword and enter the palace, and come to see me first. After I finish discussing with him, I will make my own decision."

Grand Master Nie frowned, and exchanged a look with Li Xiang. Duke Huai has an arrogant temperament and is always favored. The emperor's decree does not even have a word of consolation or praise. Given the current situation, even if Duke Huai will not feel dissatisfied , I am afraid that I will not enter the palace rashly.

Not caring about why the emperor suddenly changed his attitude, Grand Master Nie said loudly: "Your Majesty, absolutely not!"

The eunuch who delivered the decree was about to step out of the hall, the emperor said flatly: "Nie Aiqing, my decree has been issued, but you still keep pestering me, what's the reason?"

"Because at this moment, there are people in the court harboring evil intentions, disturbing the situation, and endangering the country. If Duke Huai leads the troops into the city, it can add another layer of protection for His Majesty. If only relying on rumors, you will be jealous, and I am afraid that it is in line with the wishes of the traitors. Already!"

Following this answer, everyone looked in the direction of the voice.I saw Bai Yiling coming in from the door of the meeting hall, and after he finished speaking, he knelt down and saluted unhurriedly: "The guilty minister Bai Yiling has seen Your Majesty."

Zheng Hao was stunned for a moment, then his face changed suddenly, and he scolded: "You are wearing the body of a sin, who allowed you to go to the palace?"

The minister next to him coughed and said in a low voice: "Dudu Zheng, just now Dali Temple reported that Master Bai should be escorted to Mianjun. The emperor has already approved it, and he has been waiting outside the hall."

Now the reason for their quarrel is all rumors about Duke Huai, and Bai Yiling is also considered a key figure in it. Several ministers have suggested that he should be carefully interrogated for his inside story, so he was allowed to go to the palace, but they did not expect to cause trouble.

Now that everyone has come and said something, he can't be let out anymore, the emperor said coldly: "Get up."

Bai Yiling thanked En and got up.

In the past, he was a minister in the palace, but now he is a prisoner. The emperor loved him very much in the past, but now he seems to be very impatient when he sees this person. This attitude also represents a change in his views on Duke Huai's faction.

Faced with such a gap, Bai Yiling didn't know what was going on in his heart. Facing the eyes of everyone, his face was still calm, and after saluting, he repeated: "It was the sinner's presumptuousness to break in just now. But Duke Huai is loyal. Geng Geng, a heart of benevolence and filial piety is evident, I have no choice but to say, please think twice, Your Majesty."

Zheng Hao sarcastically said: "Master Bai is really concerned about the country and the people, but I don't know what capacity you have come to speak to His Majesty?"

He intentionally humiliated him, implying that Bai Yiling was a prisoner and had no right to speak, but Bai Yiling didn't show any embarrassment at all, instead he raised his voice slightly and said, "I'm currently wearing a crime, but I'm a traitor, and the Holy Majesty won't investigate. Your lords dare not speak out, the guilty minister should speak out."

The semantics are sonorous and upright.In the magnificent hall, the emperor sat high, and the officials lined up on the left and right. Only he stood in the middle with a straight figure.Against such a background, the originally not burly figure appeared thin and lonely.

But after he finished speaking, Zheng Hao was at a loss for words.

What Bai Yiling meant was, you said that I am now a prisoner, yes.But the timid people here dare not speak, the emperor is stupid and can't see the truth and the fake, and you "big shots" don't do anything, so I can only come here.

For people like him, status and situation are not important.

There was silence in the hall for a while, everyone was silent as if they didn't even dare to breathe heavily.Grand Master Nie and Sheng's family are related by marriage, at this moment, he couldn't help but secretly glanced at the youngest son of Zhen Guogong's mansion who had finally found him from the corner of his eye, and his heart hung high.

In his impression, Bai Yiling's character is straightforward, but he is definitely not a brainless and reckless person.Now that Duke Huai is not here, and Duke Zhen is not here, no one can protect him, and he will not be ignorant of the fate of such a remonstrance—everyone present knows.

But what no one is willing to do, he understands the consequences, so he has no hesitation.

So messed up, what's next?

No miracle happened, and the emperor was furious as expected: "Bai Yiling, how dare you be so rude! You actually accused me in person? Don't think that if you are on good terms with Duke Huai and you are my nephew, I will not kill you!" You, with your arrogance, arrogance and disrespect, it is not an exaggeration to drag you out and beheaded immediately! Who gave you the courage!"

Bai Yiling said: "It is the courage that Your Majesty gave to my ministers. Your Majesty is a sage king, so I can fulfill my duty and try my best to persuade you. You have always loved Duke Huai, so you should know how much King Huai respects, loves and is loyal to you. What is the relationship between father and son?" It can be affected by mere rumors! What's more, now that worries do not exist outside but inside, Duke Huai enters the city alone, once the situation in the capital changes, how will His Majesty deal with himself?"

The emperor slapped the dragon case vigorously, and shouted: "You are so courageous, why don't you let me get out of here!"

Bai Yiling said loudly: "Your Majesty!"

The emperor was furious: "Get out!"

The atmosphere between the monarch and his subjects was tense, and the whole hall was filled with the smell of gunpowder. Grand Master Nie stepped out of the line quickly, holding Bai Yiling's arm, and said in a low voice, "Commander Bai, quickly accept the order and thank you!"

He also knew that once the emperor's decision was sent out of the city to Duke Huai's ears, whether the other party obeyed or not, things would become unmanageable, but in the current situation, could Bai Yiling really let Bai Yiling die?

Once he also backed down, the imperial decree would really spread, and Bai Yiling was really angry, his face was very hard, and he didn't intend to compromise.But at this moment, there was a commotion outside the hall.

The movement was so loud that the atmosphere in the hall was so tense that it still distracted everyone, and they couldn't help turning their attention to the outside, wanting to hear what a group of people were making loud noises in the palace—— It's not really like what Bai Yiling said, someone intends to rebel and cause trouble, right?

In the end, it was unbelievable to hear this, because the shout from outside turned out to be: "Help me! Kill me! Deceitful corpse! Ghost——"

How dare you gossip in the palace to confuse the crowd? What do these people think?are you crazy?

While he was wondering, a little eunuch came to report in a hurry outside: "Your Majesty, something is wrong, there are ghosts outside, outside!"

General Liu immediately scolded: "How dare you speak such nonsense in front of His Majesty!"

Bai Yiling narrowed his eyes, vaguely guessed what was going on, deliberately pretended to be scared, took two steps back, and calmly shortened the distance between himself and the emperor.

But because other people's attention was on the chaos outside at this time, and only he was thinking about how to take advantage of the chaos to get to the emperor's side first, Bai Yiling suddenly discovered a very strange thing.

The little eunuch was also terrified after being scolded by General Liu, but he still mustered up the courage to argue: "It's true. Just now, several princes went to the imperial hospital to check on the injury of the eldest prince Hehe, just in time for him to die of serious injuries. out of breath..."

When he said this, he emphasized it again: "I'm really out of breath, and several imperial physicians have confirmed it."

General Liu said impatiently: "I heard it, I heard it, what are you repeating? Could it be that he was the one who said that the corpse was cheated?"

He was just talking casually, but as soon as the words came out, he saw the little eunuch looking at him with a very indescribable look, and said in a low voice: "Yes... yes."

This tone and demeanor immediately chilled everyone.

The little eunuch said: "Several princes didn't expect him to die in such a haste, and they all went to check, but when it was the turn of His Highness Linzhang King, the corpse, the corpse suddenly sat up, and, moreover, it was messy, messy." Arrest people! Zhenggan Palace Weiwei Lord Wang is also inside."

Grand Master Nie felt terrified at the thought of the shouting outside, and quickly asked, "Did you see it with your own eyes?"

The little eunuch said in fear: "Listen, I heard."

Grand Master Nie: "..."

He had the urge to kick the opponent, but he didn't know that the little eunuch hadn't heard the whole story, and the real situation in the Tai Hospital was far more dangerous than what he told.

After all, Lu Qi was shrewd, he was unwilling to visit Gao Guilie's situation alone, so he made an appointment with a few old princes who were very important in the clan, and only after the group arrived at the imperial hospital did they learn the news of Gao Guilie's death. King Ying and King Pei are discussing how to deal with it.

They didn't seem to want to spread the news, but by coincidence, Lu Qi and the others became the first people to hear the news.

Everyone looked at each other and felt a little heavy in their hearts.No one present would feel sad because of Gao Guilie's death, but the occurrence of this incident will undoubtedly make the already chaotic situation even more confusing.

Lu Qi was full of preoccupations, his mind tossed and turned just thinking about what Bai Yiling said before he left, he unconsciously walked to the bed, only to see Gao Guilie's face was pale, his eyes were closed, he was clearly a strong and burly man, after days His face was so thin and sunken, it is conceivable that he also suffered a lot of pain before his death.

But for some reason, Lu Qi always felt that he seemed to move.

He was taken aback for a moment, thinking that he had not misjudged his mind just now, so he bent down and looked carefully, Pei Wang Lu Han leaned over to Lu Qi's side, and asked with concern: "Uncle, is there something wrong?"

Almost at the same time as he said these words, there was a loud bang, and the outside door was kicked open, and then, soldiers in imperial uniforms poured in from outside, holding swords in their hands, almost In an instant, the princes closest to the door were strangled by their necks.

"What, what are you doing?" Lu Han took two steps back in shock, almost falling onto the corpse bed behind him, "Are you going to rebel?"

"Your Highness the Seventh Prince has such a quick mind." Wang Tengfeng, the guard of the Zhenggan Palace, walked in from the door and praised unhurriedly, "Then what can you do if I answer 'yes'?"
