Chapter 376: Start over

After crushing the Buddhist beads, Xiao Yanli's excited emotions seemed to calm down.

He let go of his hands and let the debris fall to the ground: "I don't know who it is, but it can't be Xiao Chuji."

Xiao Chuji's movements in the past few days were all under their eyes. If it was really him, they would definitely not have failed to notice it.

Uncle Zhang was silent for a moment, and tentatively asked: "Could it be that person in the East Palace?"

Xiao Yanli seemed to have heard something extremely ridiculous, and pulled the corner of his mouth: "Even if he really has no one to use and handed it to my fifth brother who just suffered a defeat, it is impossible for him to hand it over to Xiao Lingyu." Uncle

Zhang didn't know why he was so sure. Even if the queen was dead and Xiao Lingyu was no longer favored, he was still the prince.

Isn't it natural to hand this matter over to the crown prince?

Why is it impossible according to Xiao Yanli?

Xiao Yanli also knew that Uncle Zhang was confused, but he didn't say much.

For some reason, Xiao Yanli didn't tell Uncle Zhang the true identities of He Yanting and Xiao Lingyu.

He only knew that He Yanting was also a prince, but he only thought that he was a prince who was raised by the old general He after the emperor fell into the civilian world.

"If it weren't for Xiao Chuji, the battle of Nanlong was crucial, and it would definitely not be handed over to Xiao Siyuan who had just suffered a defeat. Then it would only be He Yanting, Jiang Kang'an and Jiang Wenjing." "He

is really an old fox. I should have thought of it when I saw that he was not moving."

Xiao Yanli's eyes were slightly cold.

"I'm afraid he has already decided on the candidates from the beginning, but he has been sitting still, just waiting for us to make friends and investigate. Once we reveal our true colors, he can catch us all in one fell swoop."

Uncle Zhang's eyelids twitched wildly: "Then now..." "

The emperor must have known everything. These newcomers are not as patient as the old ones. If they are beaten by the emperor again, they will probably be scared to death."

Xiao Yanli said this, his tone full of regret.

They may have to start all over again after the emperor's visit.

There was no time to regret. Xiao Yanli sighed and then ordered Uncle Zhang: "Send more people to keep an eye on the Xu Mansion. Don't let any action go!"

As expected, after Xiao Yanli said those words yesterday, the next morning, the Sixth Prince's door was crowded with people. They were all gatekeepers from various mansions, and they all held gift boxes in their hands. They were all things that Xiao Yanli brought when he visited in the past.

They put them in front of the Prince's mansion and turned around and ran away, as if there was a dog behind them.

After listening to Uncle Zhang's report, Xiao Yanli waved his hand: "If you don't want it, forget it. Put it away."

He said calmly, but the fingertips of his hand holding the book turned white.

...

In the palace, Song Shiwei received the emperor's grace and began to mix perfume.

Compared to other perfumers who dared not put too much, Song Shiwei could be said to have put in a lot, and therefore, the empress dowager's sober time was getting longer and longer.

During such a long time, the empress dowager also understood the cause and effect, staring at Song Shiwei, wishing to swallow her whole.

After knowing that the emperor only had hatred for the empress dowager, Song Shiwei would certainly not have a good face to the empress dowager anymore.

Seeing the way the empress dowager looked at her, Song Shiwei smiled lightly, walked to the empress dowager, raised his hand and slapped her.

With a "pop" sound, it seemed that there was an echo in the empty hall.

The empress dowager was dazed by the slap, and it took her a long time to react, struggling to throw forward.

But her hands were tied, and no matter how hard she struggled, she could not touch Song Shiwei.

"A slap in the face is all that matters," Song Shiwei covered her mouth, looking surprised: "I was here at first, and you had people beat me up dozens of times. Oh, I forgot, the Queen Mother is in a high position, so she naturally wouldn't take such a small matter to heart."

Her voice was cold.

"If I had known this, I should have let them beat you to death!" The Queen Mother

gritted her teeth.

She regretted it!

When she suspected that Xiang had a problem, she shouldn't have kept this jerk!

"What a pity, there is no such thing as knowing this earlier," Song Shiwei sighed softly: "In fact, you should thank Prince Yu. If Prince Yu hadn't acted so quickly, His Majesty might have kept him for a while, and you wouldn't have to suffer so much, and you should have been freed long ago."

The Queen Mother was startled and looked at her suspiciously.

Song Shiwei looked at the Jinyiwei standing beside her and raised her voice, "If you had smelled this incense for a while longer, you would have died suddenly. What a pity."

In fact, it was not the case. Even if she smelled it for a while longer, the empress dowager would only become addicted, but the degree of addiction would be greater than it is now.

She originally thought that the empress dowager had become addicted and could not live without the calming incense for a day, which was equivalent to being unable to live without herself for a day. With the support of the empress

dowager, it would be more convenient for her to do anything.

What a pity.

Now she said this, but it was just to please the emperor through the mouth of the Jinyiwei.

The empress dowager gnashed her teeth in hatred when she heard this, and she regretted countless times in her heart why she let Song Shiwei enter the palace.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense," Song Shiwei took a few steps forward and walked to a relatively safe position: "You should know what the emperor wants to know, just tell me yourself, I don't think you want to experience that kind of pain again, right."

The Queen Mother's eyes were full of fear, but she still pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.

Song Shiwei's eyes flashed with impatience.

In fact, interrogating such a person is easy and difficult.

If she were asked when she had an attack, she would definitely tell her everything, but the difficulty is that this kind of thing has some effect on the nerves to some extent, so most of the time, her words are upside down and illogical. It

's not that Song Shiwei hasn't tried, but the things she got, let alone handing them over to the emperor to make merit and let him see her value, she was thankful that she didn't question her IQ.

"What are you hesitating about? You should be clear about the emperor's attitude towards you now. If you tell him the truth, the emperor will be happy and may even spare your life."

Song Shiwei advised gently. The next second, her voice turned cold: "If you are still obsessed, look over there..." The

empress dowager looked in the direction of her white fingers. Next to the perfume table, there was a pile of fragrant grass that had almost formed a small mountain.

"This dose is enough to kill you once and for all."

The Queen Mother shuddered.

Her body couldn't help shaking.

"Are you scared? Just say it out if you are scared. You were so smart when you were young, but now you are old, don't get stuck in a rut."

"After all, death is like the extinguishing of a lamp. When you die, there is nothing left."

"You also experienced everything in the past. You should know the meaning of 'As long as the green mountains remain, there will be firewood to burn.'"

Song Shi leaned over to her ear and whispered, like the whisper of a devil.

The Queen Mother's eyes flickered, as if shaking.

She said in a dry voice: "Are you... sure that he can spare my life after I tell him?"
