Chapter 44: It's Reasonable to Protect Flowers

Seeing this, Ximending could not force Ying Tingai anymore. He felt a little guilty and hugged her tightly again with heartache.

Yingting closed her eyes and pressed her arms tightly into Ximending's arms, forcing her to stabilize her mind... As the saying goes, one thing subsides one thing, the cold poison of the heart of the ocean in her body could not withstand the strong "pungent smell" of the earth's fire spirit beads, but she quickly called out the gold and stopped her troops and hibernated.

The two of them hugged each other like this, and no one spoke.

Yingting didn't want to say that she hoped she would be held by Ximending... until she died forever.

Ximending was thinking about how to open her mouth again to untie her knot, but this guy's sense of smell was really sensitive. Moreover, for him, the body fragrance of a woman is far more intoxicating than the fragrance of a flower, let alone the body fragrance of Yingting, who is suitable for natural mate with him? As the cold poison faded, Yingting's face gradually returned to normal. He hugged such a beautiful baby. The key was that the strange fragrance in his nose was like orchids and chrysanthemums, which made him less and less unable to concentrate his mind, and he was in a daze.

It was like an instinctive reaction, burying his head and exploring the origin of the strange fragrance... The two flowing smoke hairpins inserted on Yingting's dou bun were pulled out by him and his long hair was dispersed. From the root to the end of the hair, it emitted a strange fragrance. This guy buried his hair deep and sucked greedily, as if a burst of spring breeze caressed the desert heart, making him feel comfortable and heart-wrenching, and his body, which was weak and weak, was magically and quickly recovering.

Time passes by minute by minute.

Suddenly, a chaotic sound of footsteps disturbed the two absent-minded people.

"General Ximen is injured and is resting in the middle. Please don't disturb..." The speaker is the eldest of the two brothers Zhang Xuezuo and Zhang Xueyou who are responsible for the guarding outside the Central Army tent, Zhang Xuezuo.

Although they are just "guardians" now, they are also one of the confidants of Lord Ximen. Most people want to do it, but Lord Ximen doesn't want it. The two brothers are still proud to say this.

In this way, they were very responsible for the mission to watch the door. As they spoke, they pulled out the sword under their waists. It seemed that the intruders did not listen to their advice and wanted to stop them by force.

"Rareless!" A sudden shout was Comrade Xia Kexiong, the commander of the Jinyiwei, "Who gave you the courage to draw a sword in front of me? Believe it or not, I slapped you to death!"

"No one can enter without the permission of General Ximen! Even if... the emperor came in person..." Zhang Xueyou said.

"Ba"

Before Zhang Xueyou finished speaking, he seemed to have been slapped by Xia Kexiong. "Bold! Will the Imperial Army Guards still make a comeback?"

To be honest, what Zhang Xueyou said was definitely a traitor to Xia Kexiong, the boss of the Jinyiwei and Lao Zhu’s confidant, and he deserves to die. If you say this, it would definitely not be a slap in the face. Xia Kexiong could slap him to death on the spot. However, although this guy didn’t take this little soldier seriously, he was quite afraid of Ximending.

Although it was obvious that Xia Kexiong's kung fu was definitely not comparable to him, the Zhang brothers were not afraid at all and still stood up in front of Xia Kexiong with their swords.

"Things that don't know what's alive or dead-"

Xia Kexiong rebuked, waved his palm and wanted to put down the Zhang brothers and forcefully recorded the account, but he saw the Ximen official lifting the curtain and walking out of the inner room.

"Mr. Xia, are you idle and have nothing to do? You actually ran to my Imperial Guard to show off your power?"

My father, although the emperor and the princess both favor you, at least I am older than you and have a higher official position than you. We are in the same camp, so there is no need to lose this to me in front of the soldiers, right?

Seeing Ximending's sarcastic look of being sarcastic and sarcastic, Xia Kexiong said something that was full of teasing. He did not give him the face of the commander of the Jinyiwei. He felt very unhappy, but he did not dare to attack. He quickly bowed and said, "Mr. Ximen, I'm looking for you. Do you know that something happened! Something big happened!!"

Xia Kexiong looked anxious, Ximending seemed to be heartless, and this guy was also angry that Xia Kexiong disturbed his gentleness and attacked his soldiers. He deliberately walked out of the tent slowly, looked up at the sky, then looked at the ground, and said in surprise: "The sky has not collapsed, and the ground has not sunk. What big thing can happen? Could it be... the emperor has passed away?"

What kind of official is the soldier? This guy is even more daring to say than Zhang Xueyou. Xia Kexiong was almost choked to death by his saliva and coughed repeatedly: "Of course it's not... cough cough... This little brother said... cough cough... Lord Ximen was injured. Could it be that it was caused by the lion group hunting in the morning?"

"Ending a lion group?" When he heard this, Ximen Daren did not dare to be disrespectful and said in shock: "What's going on? Who encountered a lion group? Are there anyone injured or killed?" Reading this book [stay up late to read]

************

Zhengxin Hall is extremely spacious, with sixteen giant wooden pillars painted by cloud dragons on both sides supporting the beams of the hall, twenty-four windows on both sides, and half a corridor next to the hall, connecting the Qianqing Palace and the Kunqu Palace that are middle and backward.

At this time, outside the Zhengxin Hall, on both sides of the corridor, there were bright armors, fully armed Jinyiwei and the personal troops of the Guards, but they were silent and they didn't even dare to breathe heavily.

There were dozens of people sitting or standing in Zhengxin Hall. Not only could the needle be heard, but the atmosphere in the hall was so cold that it could be poured into ice.

There were only two people sitting there, one of them was Zhu Youjian, and the other was Empress Zhou.

According to the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty, the harem did not allow participation in politics and policy discussions, but at this moment, the frosty Empress Zhou no longer cared about the dignified and skillful image of the mother of the country, and kept putting pressure on her husband in front of the important officials in the court.

Lao Zhu didn't say anything with a bitter face, how dare others say too much... His mouth is as tight as he can.

“…”

"Your Majesty, are you so cruel and not to take charge of me and Wang'er? If this is true, I beg the emperor to depose me, the queen. I will take Wang'er away from the palace and let us be alone for life."

"Your Majesty, you are talking."

"Your Majesty, if you don't give me an explanation today, it will be boring to live..."

Seeing that Queen Zhou was getting tighter and tighter, now she was threatening death. Old Zhu coughed lightly and had to speak.

"Queen, I have said that I have made arrangements for this matter, but everything must be evidence. Before the truth is clear, how can we make a conclusion based on speculation?"

"The truth is not clear?" Queen Zhou seemed to hear a joke and said in surprise: "Master, why do I think this is an obvious thing? Do you still need to check it? Yan'er is still unconscious, and someone has proposed to depose the crown prince. They clearly have planned it for a long time. Now that they are worried about a sudden accident, they are anxious and show their evil appearance. I have seen those who are anxious, but have never seen those who are so anxious."

"Uh..." Zhu Youjian looked at Queen Zhou speechlessly and pondered: "Someone mentioned the deposed and appointed the crown prince to me, but the person who mentioned this was thankful. He learned that Cilan Long's root was abolished and just said casually. If he wanted to say that he had plotted with others and set up a trap to frame Cilan in the hunting ground, I would not believe it if I beat him to death."

It was so honor and excitement for all the civil and military officials to gain such trust from Lao Zhu. No matter how you have to take the opportunity to show your loyalty, Wang Chengen, who was standing next to the imperial case, still had a blank face without even blinking. It seemed that Lao Zhu was right to say this, and it was natural. It was indeed worthy of Lao Zhu's "dad"... He knew Zhu Youjian quite well.

Queen Zhou glanced at Wang Chengen and was about to speak when suddenly a eunuch came from outside and said with a sharp voice: "Emperor, Lord Xia Kexiong, Commander of the Jinyiwei, Lord Ximen, Commander of the Imperial Army, Lord Ximen, Header of the Imperial Army, Enter the palace to meet him."

"Quick pass--" Zhu Youjian was excited and sat upright on the dragon throne.

Soon, the sound of footsteps came, and Xia Kexiong and Ximending entered side by side.

Originally, when I heard about the tragic battle between people and lions in the hunting ground, Ximen Master wanted to see how Qin Xiaowan was injured first, but Xia Kexiong was impatient to drag him into the palace in the name of Lao Zhu's urgent summons.

It’s not that Xia Kexiong is impatient. He is so excited that he is really blessed by the gods. Of course, he is also the first move of his own chess. He actually came to the Imperial Guard to find Ximending first, which made the case a breakthrough... Lao Zhu gave him and Fu Xingsheng three-day case-solving task, but he didn’t expect it to be successfully solved so quickly.

Regarding the hunting ground bloody case, Xia Kexiong gave a case explanation to Ximending. While Ximen Daren was shocked, he also guessed at the first time... The person who released the beast in the central area was either Qiongren, Yingtingai, or the two of them jointly committed the crime. This book [stay up late to read] Read

This guess is of course normal for Ximending. If anyone calls it, he will definitely infer this way... Qiongren and Yingtingai both appeared at the crime scene. As the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, they had enough reason and enough time to do so, especially the Wakda and the other two were unscathed in the bloody case.

Yingting Ai also heard it clearly in the inner room and made such a guess.

Of course, she knew it was not what she did, so she thought it was Qiong Ren. Now that Qiong Ren has been killed, she must have become the key object of suspicion. She also thought that Ximen Master was going to come in and ask her about it. Unexpectedly, Ximen Master was holding the tenet of "protecting flowers is reasonable and protecting innocent people", and he had automatically excluded her from his mind, and had no intention of asking her at all, let alone involving her in this bloody case.
