Chapter 500: Distrust

Emperor Tiancheng played with the Xuantie token in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Are you sure this token is a replica?"

Mu Zhizhen paused, shook his head and said, "The minister is just guessing, not sure." ”

"Hmm. Emperor Tiancheng looked unpredictable.

Mu Zhizhen had already stood up after handing out the token, and now he stood on the side with Kou Xian's eyes down.

I don't know how long it took, Emperor Tiancheng raised his eyes, "I know, you go down." ”

Mu Zhizhen bowed and saluted, "Yes, the minister retired." ”

Mu Zhi really wanted to retreat, but he heard Emperor Tiancheng ask, "Has your father's illness improved recently?"

Mu Zhizhen turned around and replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty, with the care of the imperial doctor in the palace, my father now has more time to be awake every day, and sometimes he can have the spirit to say a few words to his ministers." ”

Emperor Tiancheng bowed, "That's good." Your grandfather has been sick all year round, and Jingcheng is also sick now, and the burden of your house has fallen on you. ”

Mu Zhizhen lowered his head and listened respectfully.

Emperor Tiancheng waved his hand, "Go down." ”

Mu Zhizhen withdrew.

Coming out of Chengqian Palace, a cool breeze blew, and Mu Zhizhen realized that the clothes behind him had been wet with cold sweat, Mu Zhizhen smiled bitterly, it seemed that his concentration was not as good as he thought.

Looking at the shadowy palace in front of him, Mu Zhizhen pinched his eyebrows a little tiredly.

He knew that Li Yu's purpose in doing this game today was to tell him one thing, that is, Emperor Tiancheng didn't believe him, or he didn't believe in their Mu family.

And after tonight, Emperor Tiancheng's distrust of them will be even worse, and he won't even be able to defend himself, because birth determines his position.

Li Yu is indeed quite ruthless, and he hits the key point as soon as he makes a move.

At this time, in the Chengqian Palace, Emperor Tiancheng asked Kou Xian, "How much do you think Mu Zhizhen's words can be believed?"

Kou Xian looked at Emperor Tiancheng's face and said with a smile: "The slave and maid are stupid, and the slave and maid that Lord Mu said can't tell the difference......

Emperor Tiancheng was about to frown, but Kou Xian continued: "But the slave maid just discovered a little thing. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

Kou Xian said: "The list in the Mu Da Yan token just now was spontaneously combusted, but the slave maid specially checked the ashes after he left, and smelled a little flint. ”

Emperor Tiancheng raised his eyes, his gaze sharp, "You mean, the list was not spontaneously combusted, he deliberately burned it?"

Kou Xian lowered his eyes and said: "There is a saint, and the slave and maid dare not make a judgment, so they can only talk about things." ”

Emperor Tiancheng's face was slightly gloomy, "If that's the case, this token is real, and eighty percent of that list is also true, the reason why he burned it before you arrived was to prevent the list from being handed over to my ......"

Kou Xian stood quietly and did not interject.

Emperor Tiancheng thought for a while, "Then what he said, is it credible that Li Yu has infiltrated the palace?"

"This ......," Kou Xian smiled embarrassedly, "If the prince of Hengyang has really sneaked into the palace and has not been discovered for so long, it is my dereliction of duty." ”

As a knife in the emperor's hand, the Shen Criminal Division is also his eyes to monitor the entire imperial capital, and it stands to reason that nothing that happens in this palace can escape the eyes of the Shen Criminal Division.

Seeing that Emperor Tiancheng didn't mean to be angry, Kou Xian said half-jokingly: "Or...... Unless the prince of Hengyang has the ability to fly to the sky and escape the supervision of the Criminal Division?"

In fact, there is another possibility, that is, there is a traitor in the Criminal Division. But neither Kou Xian nor Emperor Tiancheng thought of this possibility, because all the people in the Prudent Criminal Division had served to "relieve the king's worries", and it was impossible for them to have the heart of betrayal.

Emperor Tiancheng was still cautious in the end, although he didn't believe that Li Yu was lurking in the palace, he still explained to Kou Xian, "Check carefully, don't take it lightly." ”

Kou Xian had followed Emperor Tiancheng for many years, so he naturally knew how much he had scruples about Li Yu, and hurriedly replied solemnly: "Yes, Your Majesty, tomorrow the slave maid will carefully comb the upper and lower children in this palace." ”

After He Lin went back late, she lay on the bed all night without closing her eyes, she was worried about the Gu on Ning Yi's body, but she had no clue how to untie her.

Princess Huyang went to make peace and wanted to bring Ning Yi, He Linwan naturally refused to agree, but if Princess Huyang had to make a fuss, the emperor might not compromise. Although Ning Yi is a member of the Shen Punishment Division, as he said, unlike Kou Xian, he is not irreplaceable with the emperor, and maybe the emperor will send him to Daji Country as a spy.

Thinking like this, He Linwan couldn't help but feel a little impetuous, and the next morning Chunxiao found that several red bumps appeared on his girl's forehead.

On the second day, He Linwan found that the guards in the palace were much stricter, and occasionally he could see a few attendants wearing the clothes of the Shen Criminal Division walking in the palace, and even the Wenzhen Hall was infested with people from the Shen Criminal Division.

The show girls were very nervous when they saw the people in the Shen Criminal Division, and everyone was in danger, for fear that they would accidentally commit something and be arrested by the Shen Criminal Division. The grandmother of Wenzhen Hall appeased the people of the Xiunu Shen Punishment Division who were just checking the palace people in the palace, in order to prevent the last assassination of the envoy from happening again, they had nothing to do with the Xiu girls, so let them not be nervous.

The show girls were appeased, but He Linwan knew that the actions of the Shen Criminal Division must have something to do with Li Yu. The palace guards were the first to be investigated, but fortunately, Li Yu had been prepared, and he was "Hugh Mu out of the palace" during the day on the day of the night visit to Wanshou Palace, these are all recorded, so even if the investigation is checked, the head of the guard played by Li Yu cannot be found.

However, because of "Xiu Mu", Li Yu naturally couldn't appear in the palace during this time.

The last assassination of the envoy Jialan, after a few days of careful treatment of the injury has improved, the envoy of the Daji State once again proposed the matter of harmony, this time more formal, in the emperor's early dynasty submitted the credentials, Emperor Tiancheng agreed to the court.

After the next dynasty, the five princes and the six princes met on the narrow road outside the main hall, the two met their eyes, the six princes saluted first, called "five emperor brothers", the five princes nodded, and then there was no communication between the two, and they left surrounded by their own people.

The subordinates of the fifth prince looked worried.

"The power of His Royal Highness Sixth in the court today should not be underestimated. ”

The fifth prince's face was a little bad.

Before he left Beijing, he and the six princes did not officially enter the court, but because he was a little older and was the most favored in front of his father, his reputation was higher than that of the six princes at that time, and the six princes also put him first everywhere on occasions with him.

However, he has been away from Beijing for five years, although he has accumulated some seniority in the army, his power in the court is not as good as the six princes who have worked hard for these years, and now the six princes can not only compete with him in the court, but even have a tendency to faintly overpower him.
