There was a thin piece of paper lying in the brocade box, and Chi Xiaoman picked it up and unfolded it nervously.

It was a house deed, a house deed located in Huancheng of the Shengxing Dynasty, the location was very familiar, isn't this the house deed of Xiangmanlou?

"How did this deed end up in his hands?" she was surprised, and looked at the paper with her beautiful eyes wide open, her face full of incredulity.

She remembered that this deed was handed over to Wu Tingzhong for safekeeping when she left Xiangmanlou with Xiao Twelve and Xiao Lian, how could it fall into Ning Qingyun's hands......

"It seems that something happened to Xiangmanlou. "Compared with Chi Xiaoman, Wei Chimu, who grew up in the palace since he was a child, is still relatively deep in the city, and he knows what Ning Qingyun has done after a little thought.

"Is he trying to threaten me with Xiangmanlou?" Chi Xiaoman laughed angrily: "This thing is embarrassed to say that it is a congratulatory gift? It was originally my thing, and he thought I really cared about this teahouse?"

After she decided to accompany Yu Chimu, Xiangmanlou planned to give them to Wu Tingzhong, but Wu Tingzhong did not accept it, and only promised to temporarily keep the deed and manage Xiangmanlou on her behalf, and the revenue of Xiangmanlou would also be deposited in her name in the name of the Shengxing Dynasty on a monthly basis.

"You care, he also sees that you care, I think he didn't just get the deed from Han Yi and Wu Tingzhong, there must be something, maybe the lives of the people in the Xiangmanlou...... Then you can't just care. Yu Chimu said the most ruthless guess.

Chi Xiaoman's face sank, although she knew that Ning Qingyun was also an unscrupulous person to achieve her goals, but she thought that at least he would come against her, a celestial star, and would not implicate the innocent. But he didn't want to, he used to be a hypocrite. Now he's a real villain!

"Damn! I said that he must have sent something troublesome, but I didn't expect him to use the people of Xiangmanlou to threaten me. Xiaoman threw the deed back into the brocade box. The lid of the box was closed heavily.

"It seems that King Dingnan is taking revenge for the previous defeat...... But it's useless to be angry now, we must have missed the news of Han Yi and Wu Tingzhong, I'll let someone go to find out the situation in Xiangmanlou later!" Wei Chimu held her hand and comforted.

Chi Xiaoman was very depressed, although she knew that it was useless to be angry here, how could she not be angry. It's just that now he has no choice at all, so he can only wait for Wei Chimu to determine the situation on the side of Xiangmanlou before making plans.

When he came to the gate of the imperial city, Yu Chimu asked Ji Minzhi and Xiaolian to go back to the palace first, while he took Chi Xiaoman directly into the palace to face the saint.

Although it concluded a non-aggression pact with the Shengxing Dynasty for five years. As soon as General Li and Prince Xuanyuan agreed on the Ningguo Treaty and the Entente as soon as they left the Shengxing Dynasty, Wei Chimu had already asked people to bring the news back to China to Emperor Jinglie, but the details still had to be explained in person, and how his father would issue the Shangshu and how the prince would react to the evidence left by the assassins in his palace were all eager to know.

Cheng Shangshu, as an envoy appointed by the emperor himself, naturally had to enter the palace as soon as possible.

Entering the palace gate, they changed to the soft sedan chair in the palace, and Cheng Shangshu followed behind Yu Chimu and Chi Xiaoman. Rao is he has been in charge of the court for 20 years, and now he is also worried.

On the way back to China, he will write down the events that happened at the banquet of the Shengxing Dynasty in detail in the excerpt, and send someone to present it to Emperor Jinglie immediately. With the emperor's trust in him in the past 20 years, he should have believed that he was framed. However, he couldn't say that King Huai'an and Tianji Xing had framed him. After all, one of them is the emperor's son and the other is his daughter-in-law. is always a member of the royal family, but a servant girl who has nothing to do with the royal family - Chu Qianqian. But it's not something the emperor cares about.

Therefore, in the excerpt of the emperor in the letter, he attributed the blame for the crime to Chu Qianqian, a maid of unknown origin around the princess of Huai'an, and fabricated a charge for her to be sent by the Shengxing Dynasty to the princess of Huai'an to act as a spy, the purpose of which was to destroy the friendly relations between Yasukuni and the Shengxing Dynasty this time.

He didn't know if such a statement would allow him to escape, because he knew that Chu Qianqian was actually the person of the King of Huai'an, and he was framed by the order of the King of Huai'an.

And the so-called king's heart is unpredictable, what he wants to bet on now is whether Emperor Jinglie will read about his twenty years of service to the imperial court, let this matter be revealed, or listen to the words of King Huai'an.

When they came to the outside of the imperial study, someone had already announced their arrival, so as soon as they got off the sedan chair, Emperor Jinglie announced their entry.

In the imperial study, Emperor Jinglie was holding the folds of the two in his hands, he had already seen these two folds, and he also had a plan in his heart, but his face was silent.

After the three of them finished meeting, he flattened them, and then looked at Yu Chimu with a calm face, and said, "Mu'er, what's the matter with Chu Qianqian? The maid in the Huai'an Palace's palace turned out to be a spy sent by the Shengxing Dynasty?"

Wei Chimu clicked in his heart, glanced at the treacherous and cunning Cheng Shangshu, and already understood in his heart that this was Cheng Shangshu's statement to get rid of his crimes, it seems that he is not stupid, and he has already found a way to deal with it.

Cheng Shangshu raised a smile and was secretly happy. It seems that the emperor still trusts him and believes his words.

Chi Xiaoman secretly observed the emperor's face, although he had a calm face and a displeased look, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he called Wei Chi Mu "Mu'er...... I shouldn't be too angry, and I'm afraid I may not believe Cheng Shangshu's remarks.

Thinking about it like this, he was relieved and quietly asked Wei Chimu to communicate with him.

"Why, don't you even know that you let spies sneak into your mansion?" Emperor Jinglie said coldly.

"Back to my father's words, the servants in the son's mansion have all been investigated before entering the palace, and it is impossible for them to be spies for other countries. Yu Chimu retracted his gaze on Cheng Shangshu and bowed back.

"How do you know that she is not a spy of another country?" Emperor Jinglie's face was not good. In fact, after receiving Cheng Shangshu's excerpt, he sent someone to investigate Chu Qianqian's background and determined that she had nothing to do with the Shengxing Dynasty.

But as an emperor, he is inevitably suspicious, even to his own son. Although it has been confirmed a few years ago that Wei Chimu did not form a party for personal gain, and he had no intention of the throne, if the princes were very close to many courtiers or people in the rivers and lakes, the emperor always had some bad feelings in his heart, afraid that the throne would be usurped, and he was also afraid of being assassinated.

This is that although Emperor Jinglie knew in his heart that he, the third prince, would not do anything unfavorable to Yasukuni, he always couldn't rest assured because he knew too many people in the rivers and lakes.

"Chu Qianqian used to be a person in the rivers and lakes, a disciple of the Red Cloth Sect of the Hundred Poisons Sect, in the sect infighting, the Purple Cloth Sect won, and many disciples of the Red Clothes Sect refused to submit, so they were expelled from the sect, and she was one of them. Wei Chi Mu paused for a moment and continued: "After leaving the Hundred Poison Sect, she did not join any sect, and according to the investigation of the ministers, she did not have any dealings with the courtiers of our dynasty, the Shengxing Dynasty, and the Ning Kingdom. ”

The first half of what he said was true, but the second half concealed Chu Qianqian's joining the Shadow Pavilion, anyway, the mystery of the Shadow Pavilion organization, he believed that even if his father sent someone to investigate, he would not be able to find anything.

Sure enough, after listening to this, Emperor Jinglie nodded, as if he was quite satisfied with such a detailed report.

Seeing this, Cheng Shangshu couldn't help but feel apprehensive in his heart, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, even if she is not a spy of another country, it is an indisputable fact that she poisoned and framed the old minister! Please ask the emperor to be the master of the old minister!"

Emperor Jinglie frowned, "Does Cheng Aiqing have any evidence to prove that it was Chu Qianqian's woman who poisoned her?"

"Old minister...... There is no evidence. Cheng Shangshu bowed to the ground and said: "Your Majesty, although the old minister can't provide evidence, but the old minister has been in the imperial court for 20 years, and he is dedicated to the country, and he will never do anything to offend the Shengxing Dynasty, and let Yasukuni lose its friends and have more enemies." Please believe in the old minister, the old minister is wronged and victimized!"

"Lord Cheng, you keep saying that you have been victimized by others, why did Chu Qianqian frame you? Could it be that you want to say that this king instructed Chu Qianqian to poison and frame you?"

"The old minister didn't dare. Cheng Shangshu replied with anger.

Wei Chimu snorted coldly at him, and then said to Emperor Jinglie: "Father, Lord Cheng lost his manners and lost his words after drinking, and Emperor Xuanyuan was dissatisfied, this is what the ministers of the envoys saw with their own eyes, wine can mess with sex, and the ministers believe that Lord Cheng does not want such a thing to happen, but Lord Cheng should know his own drinking power on such an important occasion, and he does not know moderation, which makes our dynasty humiliated, which is really not what a minister of a country should do." ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister has been wronged!" Cheng Shangshu couldn't help but shout injustice, he really had something to say at the moment, he couldn't say that he suspected that the King of Huai'an framed him, right? Even if he did, he couldn't come up with any evidence, and it was just to make the emperor unhappy.

Emperor Jinglie looked at the three of them with a headache, in fact, he knew in his heart that Cheng Shangshu was wronged, but he couldn't punish King Huai'an and Tianji Xing for a courtier. Moreover, he also received news from other envoys, and the emperor of the Shengxing Dynasty clearly said that he must get a satisfactory explanation.

Naturally, it is necessary to punish Cheng Shangshu who lost his words, but how to satisfy the emperor of the Shengxing Dynasty with Cheng Dù is a difficult matter that takes a lot of headaches.

Besides, Yasukuni needs the ability of Tianjixing, and if Tianjixing stays in Yasukuni, he can't move King Huai'an, otherwise with Chi Xiaoman's personality, Yasukuni may have to turn the sky upside down, so Cheng Shangshu can only admit that he is unlucky.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks to see—"

Suddenly, a eunuch shouted from outside the imperial study.

Yu Chimu and Chi Xiaoman glanced at each other, Cheng Shangshu's eyebrows moved, and suddenly he felt that he had a glimmer of life. (To be continued......)
