After his inner voice was read, the little cannon fodder became the darling of the world

Emperor Dongling glanced at Eunuch Wei.

"Do I even need to ask this? All the palace maids in Renhe Palace will be imprisoned and await trial. Those who knew about it and participated in it will all be convicted.

The Renhe Palace burned down and was rebuilt. There will no longer be a Renhe Palace. It's heartbreaking to see it!"

Isn't it?

It’s disturbing to think about how arrogant Concubine Xue was when she was in power!

Eunuch Wei bowed and agreed, and was about to leave the imperial study.

Emperor Dong Ling called out, "Let's go to the prison and take a look."

"Your Majesty, please don't go to that filthy place, right?" Eunuch Wei tried to dissuade him.

Emperor Dongling thought about it.

"Forget it! The secret guards sent a message saying that there is some progress in confusing the royal bloodline. Let's wait a little longer until the secret guards bring back the evidence. It won't be too late then."

Prison.

In the prison area where death row prisoners were held, Prime Minister Xue and Xue Huaian, Concubine Xue and Liu Heng were held in three adjacent cells.

Xue Huaian looked at Prime Minister Xue with a gloomy face: "Dad, the truth has been revealed. The secret guards who arrested me accused me of two crimes. One is murdering the emperor and empress, and the other is confusing the royal bloodline."

Prime Minister Xue trembled his lips: "The Xue family is finished!"

After a while, he got up, walked to the prison door, grabbed the door pillar, and whispered to Concubine Xue opposite.

"Lin'er, what did you do? Why does the emperor know everything?"

After struggling all the way, Concubine Xue was now leaning against the prison door, exhausted. She was used to a life of luxury and she really couldn't sit in such a filthy place as a prison.

Hearing Prime Minister Xue's question, he raised his head in despair and said, "I don't know, I don't know anything! I can't even figure out why there is poison in the porridge!

We were clearly just one step away from success, and they were clearly about to drink it, but we failed at the last moment, at the last moment!"

Prime Minister Xue frowned: "Poison?"

"Yes, the silver needle turned black as soon as it was tested. The imperial physician said there was a dove poison in the porridge, and it turned out that the purple poison was also exposed.

The only people who can touch the porridge are Nanny An and the Emperor. "

Prime Minister Xue only thought about it for a moment and immediately understood the key.

"There is only one possibility. The emperor deliberately put the poison there in order to find out the poison in the porridge and to prove our guilt."

Concubine Xue looked incredulous: "How is that possible?"

Prime Minister Xue continued: "Everyone knows that the emperor's food must be tested with a silver needle before it is eaten.

If we dare to give the emperor the poisoned porridge, we will surely be able to pass the silver needle test."

"The Emperor must have thought of this, and he might as well have poisoned the place himself, just so we could catch him red-handed.

The emperor wants to exterminate our Xue family and has dug a big pit for us to fall into.”

Concubine Xue was stunned: "Dad, are you saying that the emperor knew we were going to poison you?"

"The Emperor knows everything!"

The military tent of the border commander.

Nangong Yunzhan looked at the forged letter in his hand that he had found on the deputy general and couldn't help but shudder.

Today, there was nothing to do in the army, so he took his men into the mountains to hunt.

Everything was fine at the beginning, everyone was talking and laughing.

But after entering the forest and dispersing to look for prey, everything changed.

Deputy General Sun, whom he regarded as a brother, did not go hunting. Instead, he treated himself as his prey and actually shot arrows at him from behind.

At that time, with a "swoosh" sound, the cold arrow flew straight towards his vital points with the sound of breaking through the air.

If I hadn't been prepared, if the secret guards around me hadn't shot me back, I would have definitely died today.

Afterwards, a letter was actually found on him.

The recipient of the letter was the enemy country that he had defeated and was fleeing in panic - Emperor Zhao Zhengxiong of Beiyue. The letter was signed with his own name, and the handwriting was entirely his own.

If this letter is used by someone with ulterior motives, the consequences can be imagined.

Nangong Yunzhan thought about every word of reminder in his father's letter, and the words of the secret guard who came to deliver the letter. He gritted his teeth and burned the letter. He watched the letter completely turn into ashes before he stood up and went to another tent.

Inside the tent, the smell of blood filled the air, and a man covered in blood was tied to a wooden stake.

Hearing footsteps, he looked up and saw Nangong Yunzhan approaching, begging for mercy: "General, please forgive me this time for the many years I have followed you."

"Lieutenant General Sun Wei, you are going to kill me, and you want me to spare you? Have you ever thought about sparing my whole family? Don't you know what consequences your letter will bring?

I treated you as my friend and brother, letting you participate in everything and keeping nothing from you, but you actually did something behind my back. "

"I was blinded by my own greed and was taken advantage of."

"What benefit did Liu Heng give you? Do you want to work for him?"

Deputy General Sun looked at Nangong Yunzhan in astonishment: "You know everything?"

"Yes, I know everything! I knew everything more than a month ago!

At first, I couldn't accept it at all, didn't want to believe it, and even doubted myself, was it because I wasn't good enough to you? "

"You said you have been serving me for many years, but have you ever thought that I was the one who trained you from an ordinary soldier to a deputy general step by step?

I treat you as my own brother, and I care about you and protect you everywhere."

"Over the past month, I have given you countless opportunities, and even asked you if you had any difficulties or encountered any problems.

You are so good, you insist on going down this path, and you won't turn back until you hit the wall. You are determined to kill me, and you want to put the letter that will kill hundreds of people on me. "

"Sun Wei, they say people's hearts are made of flesh, but your heart is made of stone, and I can't warm it up no matter what I do.

At this point, how can you still ask me to forgive you?"

Deputy General Sun finally stopped begging for mercy.

"I was wrong. I was bewitched. I will die to atone for my crime. Please let my family go."

"You still care about your family? Why don't you think about my family? My Nangong family has been loyal for generations, and you almost ruined our family forever.

Don’t even think about letting your family go. You reap what you sow, and it’s all your own fault!

I will not show mercy, and tit-for-tat is my usual style.

You should be very clear about this!"

Soon, the news that Sun Wei attempted to surrender to the enemy and committed suicide out of fear of punishment was made public to the entire army. An urgent letter with evidence of treason in Sun Wei's handwriting was urgently sent to the capital.

What awaits Sun Wei's family will eventually be the end.

After dealing with all this, Nangong Yunzhan found his father's old subordinates and bowed to express his gratitude.

"Uncles, this time it was all thanks to your cooperation that Sun Wei was able to reveal his true form. It was because I was too young and didn't know people well that I almost made a big mistake and harmed myself and my family.

In the future, I will learn more from you, listen to your opinions, and strive to be a general like my father."

"Major General, you are already very good. I believe that after going through this crisis, you will grow even better."

"I just wonder if the general and his men can survive these calculations?"
