The goal has been achieved, Chi Xiaoman and Wei Chi Muke have no interest in staying at this boring dinner, so the dinner party ended after Chi Xiaoman claimed to be unwell and King Huai'an used this excuse to accompany Xiaoman to leave the table, and the Yasukuni envoys and ministers also retired one by one.

The protagonists are gone, and the other ministers of Yasukuni will naturally not stay, so of course there is no need for this banquet to continue, so after the people of Yasukuni retreated one by one, Emperor Xuanyuan also announced the end of the dinner.

Returning to the palace where the foreign envoys lived, Xiao Man and Wei Chi Mu went directly into the room to rest, regardless of the other ministers who accompanied them one by one, or to inquire about how Cheng Shangshu might be punished after returning to Yasukuni.

As soon as Wei Chimu closed the door, Xiao Man couldn't help laughing, "Oh, hey, I'm really laughing to death, have you seen it?" The expressions on the faces of those ministers, I think you will be busy in the future, and there must be some people who plan to lean on your side for self-preservation." ”

"Those few Cheng Shangshu's cronies, I really don't want them to feel at ease, and I'm not interested in accepting that kind of wall grass. Wei Chi Mu snorted coldly, "But Cheng Shangshu can't escape the responsibility for this matter, those few people lose Cheng Shangshu as a backer, and they won't be able to make any waves in the future, so they don't have to worry too much." ”

"Not really. Xiao Man said with a smile: "This matter is that the prince can't protect Cheng Shangshu, although I don't know if the prince has repeatedly murdered us, whether Cheng Shangshu is also involved in making suggestions, but in addition to the prince's biggest supporter in the court, the prince should also stop for a while." ”

"Speaking of the crown prince...... Do you remember that on the night we got married, one of the assassins who came to assassinate us escaped?"

Xiao Man nodded and said, "Why don't you remember." The man seemed to have left something behind for Du Zuo to pick up, could it be ......" she raised her eyebrows. "Got a clue?"

"Exactly. Wei Chimu said: "The letter left by the assassin is only a few words. The handwriting is also impossible to determine who wrote it, but the letterhead is not ordinary folk paper, but the things in the palace, and the ink used on the letter, its ink fragrance, ink color, should be Xi Mo who paid tribute from the south half a year ago, I asked Ming Zang and Ming Feng who were lurking in the Imperial Forest Army to investigate, and it has been confirmed that Xi Mo can be used in the palace, only the father and the crown prince. ”

"Sure enough, it was the prince who did it!" Chi Xiaoman looked angry. She hadn't forgotten that her collection, the "Green Jade Cup", had been shattered by the Assassins. Naturally, this account must be counted on the main owner who sent the assassins!

On the face of it, it seems so. But I suddenly had the feeling that things weren't going to be that simple. He frowned lightly at his beautiful sword eyebrows and said, "The crown prince is not stupid, if he really bought off the assassins, he should not have used the letterhead in the palace and the ink strips of tribute to connect with the assassins, and since the assassins are so good, there is no reason why he accidentally left such important evidence." ”

Chi Xiaoman was surprised: "Do you think that someone is trying to frame the prince this time?"

"It's hard to say. Yu Chi Mujun had a slight look of annoyance on his face, if it was really someone else who wanted to get rid of the prince by his hand, who would that person be? Is this to help him? or harm him?

"It's a bit of a problem, but I have an idea. Maybe we can see if there are really people who want to get rid of the prince as quickly as we do. Chi Xiaoman pursed his lips and smiled a little treacherously.

"Oh, what do you want to do?" Wei Chimu looked at her with some curiosity.

"When I go back to Yasukuni this time, I will inevitably enter the palace to face the saint and return to the Shengxing Dynasty. And after settling the matter of Cheng Shangshu, if the emperor summons the prince to come, you will be in front of the prince. Tell us about the letterhead and your speculation about our wedding night. You can immediately see the prince's reaction, and you can also push the matter to the emperor to investigate. Someone is going to frame the prince. With the emperor's favor for the crown prince, this matter will be strictly investigated, and afterwards, we will reveal some rumors to go out, and those who want to get rid of the prince under the pretense of others will definitely take action!"

Chi Xiaoman paused and said: "However, the prince's side still can't relax, I think we should send people from the Shadow Pavilion to monitor the prince, if the assassin is really bought by the prince, the prince will definitely be exposed because of the emperor's order to thoroughly investigate this matter." ”

Her plan was indeed a solution, but it also brought things to the table, but it was difficult to determine whether things were going for good or bad.

Yu Chimu pondered for a moment, it was undeniable that her method was the fastest way to get the result, so she finally made up her mind and said, "Okay, just do it!"

＃

The next morning, before it was midnight, Yu Chimu and Chi Xiaoman heard a noise outside the door, mixed with angry roars and comforts, and they could vaguely hear that the roar was from Cheng Shangshu.

After Chi Xiaoman was dressed neatly, Wei Chimu opened the door and scolded the outsiders with an angry face: "What's the noise, Yasukuni's face will be lost by you!"

"The prince is angry, and he becomes an adult—"

"King Huai'an! Someone must have framed the old minister for last night! The old minister would never have said those words. Cheng Shangshu stared at his red eyes, his eyes cracking.

He was really angry, after waking up, listening to his guards describe the situation last night, he was surprised and puzzled at the beginning, and then full of anger, he already knew that someone must have framed him, and the person who harmed himself was very likely to be the Huai'an King and his wife!

But he had no proof, he didn't even remember saying those words, and he had no memory of his gaffe yelling at the dinner party.

Although he didn't dare to say how good he was, he didn't let people get drunk and babble nonsense after six or seven glasses of wine. Besides, he has always been a self-contained person, he will never get drunk in front of others, and although some words are what he thinks in his heart, he knows his personality very well, and it is absolutely impossible to say those words rashly and offend Emperor Xuanyuan on such an occasion.

So he concluded that someone must have drugged his food and drink, leaving him delirious. It's a pity that there is no evidence now, and those drinks and dishes are long gone, even if there is, wouldn't he embarrass Emperor Xuanyuan by risking to investigate this kind of thing in the imperial dining room of the Shengxing Dynasty?

I had already offended Emperor Xuanyuan last night, but I couldn't make a mistake again and again.

"You said that someone framed you, how did you frame you? Can I make Lord Chao Shangshu lose his mind and say those words that make Yasukuni and the Shengxing Dynasty grudge?" Wei Chimu looked at him with sharp eyes.

"Someone must have drugged Lao Chen's wine and food!" Cheng Shangshu said categorically.

As soon as these words came out, the other ministers next to him whispered one after another.

Yu Chi Mu frowned and said, "Is there any evidence for Lord Cheng's words? This is in the Shengxing Dynasty, and the wine and food are poisonous, isn't it doubting the majesty of the Shengxing Dynasty......

"King Huai'an, you know that the old minister didn't mean this, maybe it wasn't the poison in the original wine and food, the poison was given by someone later, and the old minister was maliciously framed!"

"Then who does Master Cheng think has the means to poison the banquet?" asked Wei Chimu unhurriedly.

Cheng Shangshu can stand tall in the court, naturally he is also smart, thinking about the situation last night, there are already candidates, and sneered: "I'm afraid I will offend the prince and princess if I say it." ”

"Oh?" Yu Chi Mu raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that Lord Cheng thinks that the poison is caused by this king or the princess of this king?"

"Not really, but ...... Didn't the princess's personal maid dance last night and add wine to everyone in the seats?" Cheng Shangshu said coldly.

"Lord Cheng also said that the maid of the princess of this king added wine to everyone, why is it that only Cheng Shangshu was poisoned, and everyone else is fine?"

Cheng Shangshu said angrily: "How can this old minister know! Please let the prince let the servant girl come out and interrogate her properly!"

Chu Qianqian pretended to be Chi Xiaoman's maidservant, and naturally stood behind Chi Xiaoman at this time, and when Chi Xiaoman heard Cheng Shangshu say this, he naturally said: "Qianqian, don't be afraid, let Lord Cheng ask carefully, the prince and the princess will be in charge of you." ”

"Yes, Princess. Chu Qianqian deliberately pretended to be like an ordinary maid, showing a frightened look, and stepped forward.

"You are so bold, you dare to poison this adult's wine!" Cheng Shangshu couldn't help but say, and suddenly decided that Chu Qianqian was the one who poisoned him.

"My lord, the slave and the maid are not, the slave and the maid are not poisoned. Chu Qianqian shrank in fright, shook her head like a drum, and defended herself with a pitiful look.

Cheng Shangshu was so angry at her reaction that he blew his beard and glared. Yesterday, he still looked like a dog fighting people, and refused to pass on the news to meet the king of Huai'an for him, but today he will pretend to be weak?

This made him even more sure that the poisoner must be the servant girl in front of him, but unfortunately he couldn't see her method of poisoning last night.

is really a good Huai'an king, a good celestial star, and there are such capable people under him!

"Lord Cheng, you need evidence to say that people are poisoned, and now you can come up with evidence?" Wei Chimu said lightly.

"There is no evidence now, but the old minister has been loyal and patriotic all his life, and I believe that after returning to Beijing, the saint will return the old minister to a clean slate. Cheng Shangshu gritted his teeth and said. If he could produce evidence, would he still be so angry?

Even if he had to search the entire temple where the foreign envoy lived, trying to find the "poison", after a night's time, I am afraid that it would have been disposed of long ago!

"This king understands, but Lord Cheng's drunken gaffe last night is indeed a fact, this is what everyone has seen with their own eyes, and now you can't put forward the evidence that someone poisoned and framed you, this king sees that you have served the country for more than 20 years, and has no choice but to fulfill you, after returning to Beijing, please ask your father to decide this matter. ”

Wei Chi Mu paused and continued: "However, when this incident happened, it is no longer possible for Lord Cheng to discuss the matter of the Ningguo Peace Treaty with the crown prince of the Shengxing Dynasty, so let General Li go to talk about it! After General Li has finished negotiating, he will prepare to leave for Yasukuni!"

Cheng Shangshu's face turned blue with anger, this time he was really dumb and ate Yellow Lotus, and he couldn't say anything about his suffering! (To be continued......)
