"Yes, he didn't say why he wanted to kill the queen. He wanted to take revenge on you because he was deposed by you, which made him lose face. He hated you to the core, so he secretly sent someone to kill you."

When Prime Minister Qi heard this, a smile appeared on his face: "In that case, he deserves to die. The murder of the Queen will implicate the nine clans. His life is worthless."

"What did you say? Don't you have any compassion?" Sheng Zhiyao asked angrily after hearing Qi Xiang's words.

"Pity? Pity for what? Pity what he did, pity his cunningness? Huh, if he was really a good person, how could he betray the imperial court and assassinate the prime minister of a country, and how could he murder the queen?"

"Humph, he is not a good person. Are you, Prime Minister Qi, a good person? Isn't Prime Minister Qi here also framed me, the princess?" Sheng Zhiyao retorted.

"How shameless, I am the prime minister of a country. What I want to do is to eliminate disasters for the people and get rid of traitors for the country. What do you know, little kid?" Prime Minister Qi shouted angrily.

"Hmph, you are the only one who wants to get rid of traitors for the people? I think you are making excuses for your own selfish desires."

"Nonsense, I am the Prime Minister of the Zhou Dynasty, how could I do such a ridiculous thing? You, a little kid, simply don't know the heights of heaven and earth."

"Hmph! Then Prime Minister Qi will keep his promise, right?"

"That's natural."

"In this case, Prime Minister Qi, do you remember what you just said? If I didn't write the letter, you will admit my innocence and kowtow to me three times." Sheng Zhiyao said coldly.

Prime Minister Qi's face turned red when he heard this, and he was extremely angry, but he had no choice. He couldn't refute her in front of His Majesty, so he had to say: "I will never break my promise. Your Majesty, please forgive me for being reckless and unjust. Please forgive me."

The Lord can forgive."

After saying this, Prime Minister Qi knelt down and prepared to kowtow.

Seeing this, Sheng Lixin quickly stopped Prime Minister Qi: "Prime Minister Qi, why are you doing this? Zhi Yao is still young, how can he bear such a gift from you? This matter has been revealed like this, please come up quickly."

After hearing this, Prime Minister Qi stood up directly without insisting. His face was turning blue and white in turns, and he felt aggrieved and angry, but he could not vent it.

The emperor also felt a little embarrassed, but after all, he was in public, so he couldn't show too much favor to Sheng Zhiyao, so he could only pretend to cough twice to relieve the embarrassment: "Okay, now that the matter has been clarified.

, the sinner has also been punished, let this matter be over, Qi Xiang, how are your injuries? Since Zhang Yuan is here to judge, why don't you let him see it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I'm fine. It's just a minor injury. I just need to go home and rest for a few days." Prime Minister Qi said with cupped hands.

"Well, in that case, I allow you to have a good time and go home to recuperate." The emperor said.

"Yes, thank you Your Majesty." Prime Minister Qi bowed his hands in salute.

"It's getting late, and I'm tired. You all should leave first."

"It's Your Majesty."

Everyone bowed and left.

Sheng Zhiyao followed Sheng Lixin and walked in front. She lowered her head as she walked. Although she had a lot of resentment against Prime Minister Qi in her heart, she knew that it was not the time to get rid of him yet, so she could endure the hatred in her heart for the time being.

, a person who is full of benevolence and morality but does not regard other people's lives as his own can still be the prime minister. It seems that the emperor really has no one under his command.

After returning to the palace, Sheng Zhiyao went straight to her yard. She was really tired today. She needed to have a good sleep, adjust her mentality, and regain her strength. There were many things waiting for her tomorrow.

After Mr. Sheng returned to the room, he was not in a hurry to rest. Instead, he called Butler Li.

"Master Hou, what are your orders?" Butler Li asked respectfully.

The old Marquis thought for a while and said: "Today, Prime Minister Qi took out a letter that was almost exactly the same as Zhiyao's handwriting. But what I'm confused about is how he could get Zhiyao's handwriting and copy it?"

Hearing what the old Marquis said, Butler Li immediately became vigilant: "Don't worry, Marquis, I know what to do."

The old Marquis nodded: "Go."

After Butler Li left, the old Marquis began to think about it. According to his guess on the matter, this letter should have been forged by Prime Minister Qi. As for the method used, he probably guessed that it was not the Shenghou Mansion.

There are spies who did it, including people in Zhiyao's shop. This matter cannot be underestimated and must be investigated!

The old marquis sent several secret guards to investigate this matter through different channels.

This night is destined to be another sleepless night.

Early in the morning, the old Marquis came to the door of Sheng Zhiyao's room.

He knocked on the door for a long time, and finally the door opened, and Sheng Zhiyao stood in front of the old Marquis with two panda eyes.

"Grandpa, what's wrong? So early?"

"Nothing, let me see if you are up?" the old Marquis said with a smile.

Sheng Zhiyao pouted, how could she get up so early, but since grandpa wants to see it, let's go see it with him.

Sheng Zhiyao opened the door, walked into the house, and sat on the stool: "What does grandpa want to do with his granddaughter?"

The old Marquis said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing. It's just about the handwritten letter that Prime Minister Qi took out last night. What do you think?"

"Grandpa, why did you come to me early in the morning for this matter? Isn't this a very simple matter? What is grandpa worried about? Is he afraid that there is an undercover agent in our family? If this is really the case, there is nothing that my granddaughter can do.

ah."

"Grandpa is not worried about anything. Grandpa just feels strange. Why was Qi Xiang able to take out your handwriting about this matter? Where did he get it from and who did he find to copy it from?"

After listening to the old Marquis's words, Sheng Zhiyao thought to herself that it was indeed so.

She knew that grandpa must not have thought of this incident for no reason. He must have discovered something wrong and came to ask her.

It seems that he does have to be careful, but Sheng Zhiyao will never compromise easily on this matter.

"Grandpa, I don't know how Prime Minister Qi got this handwritten letter, but I believe there will be no spies in our house. You don't have to worry about this at all."

After listening to Sheng Zhiyao's words, the old Marquis nodded and looked at Sheng Zhiyao: "You are quite confident. Grandpa thought you would be afraid."

"Grandpa, of course I'm not afraid. I just think that our home is the safest, so I don't have to be afraid or worry about someone sneaking into our house."

"Why?"

"Because my grandpa is by my side to protect me, what else do I have to fear?"

Hearing Sheng Zhiyao's words, the old Marquis felt warm in his heart and couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, Zhiyao, grandpa, if anything happens in the future, you should stop hiding it in your heart and tell grandpa directly, otherwise I will

Sooner or later I will be scared to death by you."

"I know, grandpa, you don't have to worry, your granddaughter will take care of these things by herself."

"Well, do you still want to go to the shop today?" asked the old Marquis.

"Go, of course I will. Where will the money come from? These few days are critical. When the store opens, I will ask Third Brother to watch it and I will have more free time." Sheng Zhiyao said with a smile.

"Okay then, be careful on the road and take the maid out with you."

"I know, Grandpa."

The old Marquis got up and left the room, and Sheng Zhiyao went back to the bed and lay down. She closed her eyes and prepared to take a nap before going to the store. At this time, she suddenly remembered the bed she had ordered on the orange software a few days ago.
