    ?

    The palace banquet lasted until Haishi, during which no one mentioned the murder of Duan Xiang's son. Obviously, the people present were somewhat in awe of Xiao Jing and did not dare to offend him face to face.

    Duan Heye saw that Feng Zheng and Duan Xiang had no intention of mentioning this matter, so he couldn't help feeling annoyed, and wanted to find an opportunity to talk about it, so he hinted to Duan Xiang from the side: "I passed by the Prime Minister's mansion this afternoon.  Mr. Xiang, seeing that the door of Mr. Duan's mansion is closed, is it because Mr. Duan's funeral is not yet ready? If there is anything that needs the help of this junior, this junior will definitely do his best."

    Everyone here knows that he deliberately brought up this matter. Now, no one knows that Prime Minister Duan's young master died of poisoning, and the poison happened to be Soul Eater Grass. He mentioned it clearly because he wanted to disagree with King Ning.  Righteous.

    Duan Xiang cupped his hands, and replied: "Yesterday, the second son has already helped the old man a lot, how dare you bother the second son."

    "President Duan, you are welcome. I also hope that Mr. Duan will be treated with justice as soon as possible." Duan Heye glanced at Xiao Jing intentionally or unintentionally.

    "Thank you, Second Young Master, for your concern."

    As soon as this matter was mentioned at the palace banquet, the warm atmosphere just now completely cooled down. Whoever dared to intervene rashly, offending King Ning would be offending the country of Yan and the hundreds of thousands of cavalry in the country of Yan.

    The Hall of Han Lu fell silent again.

    Emperor Feng looked at the crowd and said: "It's getting late today, you must be tired, so let's retire from the banquet. I have ordered people to prepare chariots and horses to send you back home."

    When everyone heard Emperor Feng say that they would retire from the banquet, they immediately got up and bowed to leave.

    Xiao Jing got up and was about to exit the Hanlu Hall, the little eunuch beside Emperor Feng hurriedly walked up to him and asked him to stay, saying that His Majesty invited him.

    Duan Heye, Duan Xiang, and Crown Prince An Ran were also invited to stay.

    In the Hall of Hanlu, Emperor Feng invited these people to sit down again, avoiding the palace eunuchs, Duan Heye and An Ran saw their intentions, and they also retreated from their personal attendants.

    Chuyao glanced at Xiao Jing, saw him nodding, and withdrew too.

    As soon as she went out, the vermilion lacquered door of Hanlu Hall was suddenly closed, isolating the room from the outside world.

    "I think you all know why I want to keep you here." Emperor Feng sat on the top seat with a heavy expression on his face, "The captain Duan Shi was poisoned the other day, and all kinds of information pointed to King Ning. It is my hope to keep you here today."  Let me know what you think about this matter.¡±

    After Feng Zheng finished speaking, Duan Heye frowned under the silver mask. Hearing what Feng Zheng said, it seemed that he didn't want to put this charge on Xiao Jing.

    "I heard that the second son tested poison for Captain Duan yesterday, what kind of poison is it?" Emperor Feng narrowed his almond eyes and looked at Duan Heye.

    "It's the Soul Eater Grass." Duan Heye replied.

    "What does the second young master think?" Emperor Feng held the white jade cup in his hand, rubbing the delicate body with his fingertips.

    Duan Heye glanced at Xiao Jing, pretending to hesitate and dare not speak.

    "This is just my personal opinion. I believe that with King Ning's magnanimity, he won't care about it." Feng Zheng knew that he was hypocritical, but he couldn't help it.

    Duan Heye got up and cupped his hands: "The Soul Eater Grass is only owned by Yan State, and the place where it grows is King Ning's territory. I also found King Ning's jasper finger on Mr. Duan. I think that King Ning has something to do with it."

    As soon as Duan Heye finished speaking, the hall was quiet for a while.

    "Although the Soul-eating Grass is unique to the Yan Kingdom, it doesn't mean that others can't get it." Feng Zheng looked at the wine in the white jade cup, and then at Xiao Jing: "As for King Ning's thumb pull, I heard that King Ning is not long.  I was assassinated before, my hand was injured by the assassin, and it is not impossible for my finger to be stolen by someone who intends to frame me."

    The two possibilities completely wiped out Xiao Jing's relationship with this matter, and turned him into a victim who might have been framed by others.

    Duan Heye frowned even more, he couldn't figure out what to buy in Fengdi's gourd, why did he want to exonerate Xiao Jing, and what's the benefit of exonerating Xiao Jing?

    "Your Majesty's words are not unreasonable, and a coincidence is not impossible." Duan Heye followed Feng Zheng's words, paused, and then said: "It's just that if you want to do both, deliberately frame King Ning, who in the world will  This ability and courage."

    At this moment, Prime Minister Duan presented the jade wrench finger found on Duan Qizhi yesterday to Emperor Feng, cupped his hands and said: "The old minister also asks His Majesty to seek justice for my son."

    Feng Zheng lifted up the jade finger and looked at it carefully. Xiao Jing's word "Jing" was engraved on the inside, put down the finger, and asked Xiao Jing: "All these things are not good for King Ning. Does King Ning have anything to say?"

    Xiao Jing had been sitting with a blank expression on his face. At this moment, when Feng Zheng asked, he responded a bit, saying: "It's better to let Prince An Ran speak first."

    He has been in the hall all the time, as quiet as the air, Li Guo has nothing to do with this matter, but now he is about to be involved.

    An Ran coughs lightly"Twice, several people are waiting for him to speak, Li Guo and Yan Guo have no conflict, but rely on Meng Guo for their lives, Duan Heye sneered in his heart, no matter how stupid this world is, he should know which side to side with.

    Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, he said: "An Ran thought that it had nothing to do with King Ning at this time, and someone wanted to set the blame on him."

    Duan Heye's black eyes widened, he looked at An Ran, An Ran showed no fear, and continued: "This time, Your Majesty is recruiting relatives, and King Ning is considered the most promising person to win the bid.  Wen Guo had a suspicion and lost his qualifications in order to benefit himself."

    Xiao Jing's expression changed slightly, and he finally raised his eyes and looked straight at the seemingly weak prince of Li Guo.  What he said was so clear that he couldn't underestimate this prince, but why did he help him?  In this way, wouldn't it be against the Mongolian country?

    He only heard him say again: "And who loses the biggest competitor, King Ning, who will benefit, An Ran thinks it's unnecessary to say clearly."

    This point is all said, this clearly refers to Mongolia, how can Duan Heye hold back, he strode towards An Ran angrily, and asked: "Your Majesty, if you have something to say, it's not very bright to have something in it.  !"

    "This is just An Ran's personal thoughts, the second son Duan He need not get excited." An Ran's face turned paler, as if he was afraid of Duan Heye.

    Duan Heye snorted coldly, threw his sleeves behind his back, and said to Emperor Feng: "Your Majesty An Ran slanders you so much, please ask Emperor Feng to investigate clearly."

    "Second son, please be safe and don't be impatient. I said that I just want to hear everyone's thoughts, and the son is just expressing his own opinion. Second son, don't worry too much." Emperor Feng said a few words lightly, betting Duan Heye back, and then  Said: "Second Young Master should learn from King Ning's magnanimity. When you testified against him, he never complained."

    Duan Heye's face turned from white to green after being scolded by this, and his half-unmasked face became even more gloomy and ugly. He turned his eyes to Duan Xiang and said, "Duan Xiang has the most right to speak about this matter. I don't know what Duan Xiang thinks about it.  ?¡± From Duan¡¯s attitude towards Xiao Jing yesterday, he firmly believed that Duan Xiang would be on his side.

    Unexpectedly, Duan Xiang stepped forward and bowed to Xiao Jing, and said: "Yesterday, the loss of a son brought new pain. The old man's eyes were blinded by an adulterer, and he treated King Ning badly. Please forgive me, my lord."  : www.hlnovel.com
