After I traveled through the book, I made the plot of the vicious female supporting role overturn

Chapter 161

"His Majesty!"

"My dear minister! Baili Shun must die! The tree is tall and provides shade, and its branches grow everywhere. Watching those branches gradually extend into the palace gives me a headache."

Ignoring Sikong Lie's increasingly gloomy expression, Ji Mingze raised his hand and patted his shoulder helplessly, saying, "Like father, like son. Who knows if they have the same thoughts? Besides, you must not joke about the imperial decree."

"Your Majesty, you promised me that you would find out the truth before you..."

"I have given you enough time, but the result is that the corpse of the emperor has been humiliated! I am tolerant and have forgiven you for your incompetence in investigating the murderer, but I cannot tolerate that you have tarnished the dignity of the royal family for the sake of Baili Shun, and affected the friendship between Qifeng and the neighboring countries!"

"Three days later, Baili Shun will be beheaded in a busy city. Considering your relationship as a master and disciple, Luoyingtian will be the one supervising the execution."

Ji Mingze turned his back and hid the deep hatred in his eyes. Just when the atmosphere was so cold that it made people shiver, the Queen came to the outside of the imperial study room with ginseng soup to ask for a meeting.

The moment he passed by the queen, Sikong Lie seemed to smell a bitter smell from the queen.

Empress Duanrong came from a prominent family. She was still young and beautiful at the age of thirty. Although she was dressed in gorgeous clothes and enjoyed the emperor's favor, she was always frowning and looked depressed.

Less than half an hour after Sikong Lie left with his eunuch, the Queen pushed the door and walked out of the imperial study.

She looked pale and kept wiping the bright red rouge on her lips. The maid behind her hurriedly handed her a handkerchief. The queen took it and immediately waved away everyone. She then quickly walked to the end of a secluded corridor and coughed hard until she vomited out a blood-red, soybean-sized worm.

"what!!!"

The queen was so frightened that her face turned pale. She threw away her handkerchief and hurriedly backed away, just in time to bump into the arms of Sikong Lie who had returned.

"Sikong... Sir?"

"Queen, be careful."

As Sikong Lie spoke, he loosened the hand that was protecting her and quickly checked the contents of the handkerchief.

A red worm covered in saliva crawled out slowly and forcefully from the white soft handkerchief, apparently having sucked enough blood.

Sikong Lie sucked in a breath of cold air and turned around sharply, ignoring his status and looking directly at the Queen's tearful face.

"Your Majesty, this is a blood-sucking insect. How could this extremely rare poison entangle you?"

No wonder Sikong Lie smelled a strong bitter smell on the queen. She probably mistook the retching and lack of energy for ordinary physical discomfort and took too many useless prescriptions. No wonder the queen's maid stopped him as soon as he left the imperial study.

The queen's lips were trembling. The scene just now had made her dizzy. Now that she knew that this was a poisonous insect that could kill people, she could hardly hide her grief. She covered her eyes with her fingers and cried softly.

really,

The imperial family is indeed heartless. Even though I have been married to him for thirty years, he still schemed against me to this point.

Maybe it was wrong from the beginning, everything was wrong.

Sikong Lie apologized and used magic to calm her down, and at the same time forced out the blood-sucking insects that were breeding in her body. However, when he saw this, Sikong Lie's composure disappeared in an instant.

No!

No signs of the remaining blood-sucking worms being alive were found. Could it be that they had sucked enough blood and merged with the queen's organs?

The queen tried hard to suppress the bitterness in her heart. At this moment, she could only place her hope on the upright Sikong Lie. Feeling someone grabbing her sleeve tightly, Sikong Lie paused.

"Master Sikong, it's His Majesty... It's His Majesty who wants to kill me!"

The queen's expression was solemn at this moment, her tone gradually became steady, tears filled her eyes and were about to fall, adding a sense of pride and stubbornness to her expression.

"What the Queen means...is this your Majesty's work?"

"Master Sikong, I have been ill for a long time. Judging from your expression, I must have been poisoned to the bone marrow. I don't have much time left." The Queen wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her skinny fingertips and sighed, "If you want to investigate, you can't just investigate the entanglement between the Third Prince and Baili Shun, but also Taoyuan Village. That's where I accidentally found the Third Prince."

Sikong Lie wanted to ask more, but was interrupted by the Queen. The Queen looked at the world outside the corridor and said with a wry smile: "You must be cautious in your actions in the deep palace. This is not only for yourself but also for the family behind you. This is all I can say. I think no matter how careful he is, as long as he exists, he will definitely leave traces."

Sikong Lie: “…”

The Queen's words were suggestive, and Sikong Lie suddenly seemed to have thought of something. She left before the Queen's maids came to find her.

Luo Yingtian was concerned about the death of his young disciple, and was also dissatisfied with Sikong Lie for always making excuses for Baili Shun. After receiving the order to supervise the execution, he immediately distanced himself from him temporarily.

Sikong Lie could only go to Taoyuan Village alone to investigate the story of that year. Not long after he left, Luo Yingtian found Ji Yuheng's body.

In other words, someone sent Ji Yuheng's body back.

Looking at Ji Yuheng, who was lying in the coffin in the mourning hall with his clothes intact, Luo Yingtian's eyes were filled with complicated emotions.

"Baili Changyuan...it looks like someone is united with me in hatred of my enemy and wants your son Baili Shun to be killed without a complete body, and wants your Baili family to be extinct without descendants."

That night, when Sikong Lie saw that he was deliberately slacking off in fighting the enemy, he questioned him why he did so. He simply covered it up by saying that he was unable to do so. In fact, he already knew everything.

But he didn't say it, and he could never say it.

No one knew the marks left on Ji Yuheng's body, including the birthmark, better than Luo Yingtian, who personally changed Ji Yuheng's mourning clothes.

Now the body has returned, but it has suffered severe hacking wounds on the chest and abdomen. Most of the flesh has disappeared, and even the red birthmark has been chopped to the point where only a vague mark can be seen.

He wanted to prove Ji Yuheng's identity as a prince, and at the same time, he wanted to anger the court by showing the traces of torture.

Luo Yingtian fulfilled the other party's wish and successfully convicted Baili Shun of the crime. The thorn that had been in his heart for many years was finally being removed. He was overjoyed and slowly leaned against the coffin, covering his face with his long sleeves.

"Xue'er, my good disciple. I know you were buried in the Baili family, but I can't even find a handful of your ashes. Since I can't kill Baili Changyuan, I must kill Baili Shun to avenge you."

Inside the dungeon, the jailer carried a kettle and passed it in through the gap in the iron door.

He took a quick look inside and saw a man in white clothes and long hair sitting on the bed with his head down, thinking about something. He was eerily quiet.

"Baili Shun..." The jailer shouted quietly like a thief, "Do you know that you will be on the road in two days?"

The silent man seemed to sense something, but he just smiled lightly.

It seems that Sikong Lie alone cannot protect him. Baili Shun inexplicably thinks of that day again.

That was the first time Baili Changyuan received royal rewards. The young Baili Shun watched the eunuchs pack a lot of jewels and paintings bestowed by the emperor into boxes and carry them into the back house one by one.

The reward from the royal family was undoubtedly an honor, especially for Baili Changyuan who did business with the royal family. However, he had no smile from beginning to end. He just folded his arms and watched coldly as the eunuch who announced the decree was busying around.

When no one was around, Baili Changyuan showed Baili Shun the painting of a beauty feeding a tiger that was personally given by the emperor.
