Chapter 46: Suspicion
"Father, why did you agree that Tianji Xing and the third brother would go to Suiyang County together? What if Tianji Xing was robbed on the way?" asked the crown prince Wei Chi Hao after Yu Chi Mu and Chi Xiaoman left the imperial study. He couldn't understand why Emperor Jinglie agreed to Tianji Xing's request.
"Isn't the person who sent someone to assassinate Mu'er and kidnap Tianji Star the person arranged by the two of you?" Emperor Jinglie glanced at the two of them coldly. By saying this, he was suspicious of them, and the other side was also tempting.
"Father, the son did not send someone to assassinate the third brother and kidnap the Heavenly Machine Star, please believe the son of the emperor. Yu Chixin hurriedly got up to show his innocence, and at the same time glanced at the prince intentionally or unintentionally.
"You-" Wei Chi Hao glared at the Fifth Emperor Brother with hatred, he was going to betray himself?
Emperor Jinglie's gaze coldly scanned between the five emperors and the crown prince.
Yu Chixin rarely goes out of the palace, and his mother Concubine Xiao has been in charge of the harem on behalf of the queen for many years, and he has always won his trust, and Concubine Xiao's character is still trustworthy, so Xin'er should not have the ability to send someone to assassinate the imperial brother. Then he looked at the prince just now, and the prince was a little weak-hearted......
Emperor Jinglie looked at the prince with some hatred and said: "Hao'er, although I have some scruples about Mu'er's talents, and I don't like him to associate with some people in the rivers and lakes, let alone see him threaten your status, so I have snubbed him all these years, but after all, he is my son, and I don't want him to die." ”
Seven years ago, because of the amazing talent shown by Wei Chimu, Emperor Jinglie often summoned him to the imperial study to discuss state affairs, which made the crown prince Wei Chi Hao, who had been favored by his father since he was a child, have a strong sense of crisis, and at the same time, jealousy completely concealed his reason and friendship for his brother. That's why he began to plot to eradicate Wei Chimu, and at that time, the courtiers of the pro-prince faction told Emperor Jinglie that the three princes had formed a party for personal gain. Intended to murder the prince.
The ministers of the DPRK and China are convincing, and Wei Chimu is witty and hearty. Emperor Jinglie sent people to investigate, and really learned that the third son, Yu Chi Mu, often met with the sons of some ministers and people in the rivers and lakes, Long Yan was furious, and since then he began to snub Yu Chi Mu, and confined him to the palace for half a year.
After that incident, the children of the ministers of the court and the central government rarely corresponded with the three princes.
"Father, the son knows his mistakes. Erchen should not have sent assassins to assassinate the third brother, but Erchen did not send someone to rob the Heavenly Machine. Seeing that his father was really angry, Wei Chihao hurriedly admitted his mistake. He can't let his father disappoint him, he can't lose the crown prince!
Emperor Jinglie looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze, as if he wanted to see if he was lying. "The killer of Huangquanmen was not commissioned by you?"
"Erchen can swear by the sky, Erchen doesn't know anyone from Huangquanmen at all, and he didn't let them assassinate the third brother and rob the heavens. Yu Chihao really raised his hand and swore to the sky.
"Okay, I'm going to have to think about it. You all retreat first!" Emperor Jinglie waved his hand, these sons, one by one, made people feel uncomfortable.
The crown prince and the fifth prince didn't dare to say anything more, and the father should have snickered if he didn't punish him. The two hurriedly retired.
Emperor Jinglie sat in front of the bookcase, lost in thought, on the way back to Beijing for the third emperor. If it was one of the two of them, it would be understandable, after all, who would find the Heavenly Machine Star first. It is a great achievement for Yasukuni. But not their words...... Who else knew that Chi Xiaoman, who was next to the Three Emperors, was the Heavenly Machine Star?
He called Gonggong Chen in and confessed a few words. Gonggong Chen nodded and left.
He can't let the Heavenly Machine Star fall into the hands of others, the Heavenly Machine Star can only be used by him, and he can only serve them Yasukuni!

Outside the imperial study, the prince sneered with a gloomy face: "Fifth brother, don't forget that we are in the same boat now, if my boat capsizes, you will not have a good time!"
"Brother Prince, younger brother, I'm just telling the truth, I really haven't done those things!" Yu Chixin looked at him with a smile and said, "Besides...... If I hadn't gone to get close to the national teacher, would I have been able to get the news of the Heavenly Machine Star? And if the people sent by the prince's brother succeeded, wouldn't it be good for the prince's brother to take possession? ”
"Hmph, what's whatever you say now, but the people from Huangquanmen are really not hired by you?" the prince stared at him, quite suspicious of this fifth brother.
"Brother, I don't dare to lie in front of my father, brother Prince, you know a lot of people outside the palace, could it be that the people you sent out to find helpers?"
Wei Chi Hao said coldly: "Impossible, I have heard of Huangquanmen, if you want to invite them to kill, it is not something that can be sent by a few thousand or tens of thousands of taels of silver, besides, the person who wants to kill is still a prince, and it is such an important person as Tianji Star who wants to rob, how can the people I send be able to afford to invite them." ”
"That's ......" Yu Chixin shrugged his shoulders and said: "I don't know about that brother! The prince's brother should know very well that my brother rarely goes out of the palace, so how can I have the opportunity to recognize anyone in the rivers and lakes." ”
"It's best that you don't want to rebel against me, if you dare to have any crooked thoughts, as the crown prince, I still have the ability to let my father take back your mother's power to run the harem, and you just wait to be a down-and-out prince!"
Wei Chixin stared at his back with cold eyes, it's not the time yet, but it's almost over, not to mention the crown prince, the throne will be his in the future!

On the other hand, after Chi Xiaoman and Yu Chimu left the imperial study, Yu Chimu took Xiaoman to Concubine Shu's palace.
On the way, Wei Chimu read Xiaoman for a while, saying that she was good at making claims, and she didn't want to stay in the capital honestly, so she insisted on going to Suiyang County with her, and didn't take her own safety seriously, she was happy because she wanted to be angry with him, right?
Chi Xiaoman pulled his arm, pouted and said, "You said that you would not leave me again, but it will take you half a month to go, and it will be safe to stay in the capital?" God knows what your two brothers will do to me." Besides, maybe I'll be able to help you when I go!"
"Help, you don't know how to do medicine, what can you do, what if you get sick then......" This is what he was worried about, and this is why he didn't want her to go.
"One person is short, two are long, maybe I can just see what kind of disease it is? In the past few months, don't you still believe in my ability?" She really doesn't know how to use medicine, but she is a person who came from the 21st century! She definitely knows more about medicine than him, and she can definitely help some way!
Although she was lazy and afraid, she didn't want to leave his heart beyond a qiē, if something happened to him—no, she wouldn't let him have anything!
"That's it, my father has let you go with me, what can I say, but you must not leave me to act alone, you know?" Wei Chimu said to her very sternly.
"Yes, yes, I heard you. Your Excellency. Chi Xiaoman nodded and said in a lazy tone.
"It's not serious. Yu Chimu complained, but he didn't have a problem with her, so he could only look at her more, otherwise what else could he do?
When she came to Wenxin Palace, the palace maid saw Yu Chimu, and immediately went in happily to report to Concubine Shu. Yu Chi Mu took Chi Xiaoman's hand and stepped into the Wenxin Palace, and as soon as he entered the main hall, he saw Concubine Shu coming in a hurry, and his excitement and joy were overflowing.
"Mu'er...... Mu'er ......" Concubine Shu stepped forward and trembled and raised her hand to touch her son's face. She hadn't seen her son for a long time, since he was named the king of Huai'an and went to the fiefdom, he returned to Beijing several times and only saw him in a hurry, and he left again.
"Mother, the child is not filial, and I have only come to visit you so far. Yu Chimu covered Concubine Shu's hand, and looked at the concubine's sideburns that were already a little gray, and couldn't help but feel sad.
The mother is not yet forty! She must have been worried about herself to look old.
Concubine Shu choked up a little, but with a smile on her face, she said, "If you can come to see the concubine, the concubine will be very happy." This is ......" She turned her head to look at Chi Xiaoman, who was standing on the side, and asked suspiciously.
"Mother, this is Chi Xiaoman, the child's favorite woman. He didn't plan to tell her mother about her being a celestial star for the time being, because he didn't want her to worry about it. His mother was quite clever and would have thought of what his father and the other princes would do to him and the Celestial Machine.
"Concubine Niang Jin'an. Chi Xiaoman politely blessed his body, with a smile on his face.
This lady looks amiable, not only beautiful but also temperamental, no wonder she can give birth to such an excellent son. It's just that I think too much and worry about it, so I have grown some gray hair.
"Okay, excuse me, excuse me, come and sit down. Concubine Shu was quite satisfied with Chi Xiaoman's look, she took Xiaoman's hand and sat down at the table, and saw the bracelet on Xiaoman's wrist with sharp eyes, and the smile between her eyebrows deepened.
The bracelet she gave to her son for his future daughter-in-law. It seems that this Miss Chi is really a woman that her son thinks she wants to be with her for a lifetime, so is she about to wait until her son marries and can hold her grandson?
"Niangniang, Xiaoman entered the palace in a hurry with King Huai'an this time, and I didn't have time to prepare something for Niangniang, please don't blame Xiaoman for being rude. "The first time I saw my mother-in-law, she didn't bring a greeting gift, she was embarrassed.
"You don't have to see the outside like this, my son, it should have been settled a long time ago, it's a great gift for you to come. Concubine Shu said with a smile. Seeing that Chi Xiaoman is straightforward and cute, she is quite happy, she doesn't want her son to marry a scheming woman, in the harem, she has seen a lot of people with deep city government and scheming, and she is also disgusted with that kind of person.
"The mother is so nice, just like Xiaoman's mother. She likes this mother-in-law who has no shelf, and she is obviously a mother, but she doesn't pose and call it "Bengong", which makes Xiaoman feel even more close.
"Then you can call me my mother like Mu'er. ”
"Mother. Xiao Man screamed sweetly, with joy on his face, making Concubine Shu laugh. (To be continued......)
