Chapter 545 Eighteen Years Later, He Is a Hero Again

"Ah Jin." After he was far away from the imperial study and walked to a place where no one was around, Xuanyuan Yao said thoughtfully, "Is there any secret passage in the imperial study? Xuanyuan Yan and that nanny didn't alert anyone. It is a bit unreasonable to appear in the imperial study room under such circumstances. After taking away the jade seal and stabbing Xuanyuan Chen and the palm eunuch, the imperial army was alarmed, and yet he was able to escape safely, which is even more difficult for experts to do. "

"Yao Yao is right." Xie Jin nodded casually, "But don't worry yet. There is no need to rush to uncover the secrets hidden in the imperial study. I would rather use a trick to catch the turtle in the jar."

Xuanyuan Yao was silent for a moment: "Is the Queen Mother also involved in this matter?"

"It's hard to say whether the Queen Mother is involved in this, but the nanny beside the Queen Mother must be involved." Xie Jin said calmly, "It's just that I still have an important issue that I'm still thinking about."

"What?"

"Right now, it seems that the person who stole the jade seal has been confirmed to be Xuanyuan Yan, the King of Wei and his wife are insiders, and the nun next to the Queen Mother is an accomplice... Theft of the jade seal is a crime of treason, and it is reasonable to punish the nine tribes. ." Xie Jin frowned, "Originally, I planned to retrieve the jade seal before the Lord came back, which would be regarded as a sin. But if I retrieve it quietly, there will be no way to cure Xuanyuan Yan. The crime of treason.”

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Yao also fell into silence for a moment.

He understood what Xie Jin meant.

Conspiracy is a serious crime, a serious crime. Only the king has the right to convict the conspirators. Moreover, the Wei Palace is a member of the royal family and has a high status. Not to mention Xie Jin, even the first-ranking Prime Minister Lu and Xie Shoufu have no right. Convict King Wei and his son.

But if the Prince Regent and Her Majesty the Queen come back to convict them, they must have conclusive witnesses and material evidence, and the jade seal must be temporarily left in Xuanyuanyan's hands. In this way, the Wei Palace's charges will certainly be confirmed, thank you Jin Nang's crime of dereliction of duty in losing the jade seal will also not be concealed.

"If we find the jade seal now, we can treat it as if this never happened." Xie Jin sighed, "But I really want to kill King Wei's family. The jade seal is irrefutable evidence. The only way is to search it from the palace of King Wei." Only by releasing the jade seal can the King of Wei’s family never have any chance to stand up again.”

After all, the assassin was not caught in the assassination. At that time, the King of Wei only had to make a sophistry, accuse him of frame-up, and then ask the Supreme Emperor to intervene. It would be difficult to punish him with death.

But Yuxi is different.

The crime of treason is a crime that cannot be reversed and no one can plead for mercy. It is a definite death penalty.

"But in this case, not only will the Lord know that you have neglected your duties, but there is no way to explain the loss of the jade seal." Xuanyuan Yao frowned, "You..."

"My Lord will probably skin me." Xie Jin smiled bitterly, "So Yaoyao, do you think I can still see the sun at this time next year?"

Xuanyuan Yao was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked up at the sky. The night sky was pitch black: "At this time next year, there will probably be no sun."

Xie Jin's mouth twitched: "..."

"Okay, I'm just joking." Xuanyuan Yao also sighed, feeling a little distressed, and then tried to say, "How about we just pretend that this never happened, get the jade seal back, and put it back in the hands of the eunuch with the palm print? , told Xuanyuan Chen and Eunuch Zhangyin not to mention this matter again - it's about their own worth and life, they should keep a good tone, right?"

Xie Jin raised his eyebrows slightly: "Yao Yao means that we can hide the truth from the truth?"

"Although I think it may not be possible to hide it." Xuanyuan Yao scratched the tip of his nose, "But if we hide it together, my lord, maybe we can just pretend that nothing has happened."

After a pause, "As for killing King Wei's family... there will always be a chance in the future."

It's impossible to get yourself involved in order to kill King Wei's family.

Xie Jin didn't know what to say for a moment.

Not far away, palace lanterns had been lit up, illuminating the inner courtyard of the palace with bright lights. The people in the palace seemed to be doing the same as usual, but they were obviously more cautious and uneasy as they came and went in a hurry.

The masters hiding in the dark have also entered a state of high alert.

Xie Jin was silent for a moment and said calmly: "Yao Yao wants me to evade my responsibilities?"

Xuanyuan Yao was speechless for a moment, "I just want to save your little life."

"At worst, I will be a good man again in eighteen years." Xie Jin chuckled, "Anyway, I have been destined to live a lonely life. Even if I live a long life and successfully stand at the top of the most powerful minister, what's the point? Happy? No matter how majestic and powerful one is, it’s probably not pleasant to be alone.”

After all, extreme glory and wealth are accompanied by extreme loneliness. It is cold at high places. The higher you stand, the more you can experience the feeling of loneliness and coldness.

Xuanyuan Yao's heart twisted, and he said in an extremely calm tone: "If you have such thoughts, just pack your bags and run away before the Lord comes back. Anyway, you don't care about glory and wealth, and you are the most respected person." It’s not unusual. If that’s the case, why stay here and wait to be skinned? Wouldn’t it be better to live a leisurely life?”

Xie Jin was silent, but he didn't expect this guy to be unmoved.

It seems that the bitter meat scheme is not working.

"Yao Yao, are you willing to go with me?" He looked at Xuanyuan Yao with burning eyes, full of hope, "Let's travel around the world together, herd horses on the grassland, walk across the Kyushu continent, and see all the mountains, rivers and lakes -"

"I don't want to live the rest of my life being wanted and hunted down." Xuanyuan Yao said in a leisurely and calm tone, "But I can help you conceal your whereabouts. If the master wants to arrest you, I can also try to ask for your release."

Xie Jin raised his eyebrows: "Yaoyao, this sentence hurts my heart. Can we only share the joys and not the sorrows?"

"I have suffered enough from the master, and I dare not challenge his majesty easily again." Xuanyuan Yao is a good boy, but the smile at the corner of his mouth reveals a bit of cunning, "You can try to challenge it."

After saying this, he turned and walked out of the palace gate, with a straight body, brisk steps, and a sense of leisurely strolling.

Well, the waist is particularly thin.

Xie Jin stared at the back of a certain good boy for a while, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, shook his head, and followed him.

This guy.

Just relying on the years he stayed with the master, he really started to show off.

Arriving at the palace gate, Xie Jin gathered all the guards on duty tonight, personally selected reliable people, and issued an order: "There is an assassin in the palace. Close the palace gates now. No one is allowed to step out of the palace."
