The guards deliberately slowed down their pace, all waiting, waiting to see if things would turn around.

Who would dare to be disrespectful to Xuan Wangye? If Xuan Wangye were to be executed with a cane in public today, he would be investigated in the future, and ten lives would not be enough for them to compensate.

The two slowly approached, but Chu Xuanchi was still calm, ignoring the courtiers watching the play on both sides, and also waved his hand, signaling Chu Jiangnan and Chu Dingbei, who were interested in interceding for him, to retreat, before raising his head to meet the angry gaze of the king of Chu and said lightly.

"If Erchen is not mistaken, when Erchen pacified the Ten Kingdoms and returned to the court two years ago, his father Zeng Jinkou said that Erchen can decide whether to go to court at will, and there is no need to kneel in front of His Royal Highness. ”

As soon as these words came out, King Chu's face suddenly became weird.

This is indeed what he said, but now he personally ordered someone to invite him to the court, and it was also because he did something wrong and offended the holy face that he made him kneel, so what is the conflict with what he said at the beginning?

But, regardless of whether there is a conflict or not, if he kneels again, it seems that there is really a bit of untrustworthiness.

Just when he was in a dilemma, Chu Sihai suddenly stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Father and Emperor are angry, the fourth emperor brother was injured in the hunting ground yesterday, presumably because the injury is not good, so it will not come in time, and I hope my father will forgive me." ”

When he said this, he was clearly speaking for Prince Xuan at any time, but he also gave King Chu a chance to go down the steps.

The king of Chu suppressed his anger, and finally waved his hand and said: "Since it is injured, then I will not pursue it, come and give me a seat." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Gonggong Li immediately took two little eunuchs and moved jade chairs for Lord Xuan.

Seeing that the Xuan prince in a Xuan robe sat peacefully on the chair, looking at Chaozhong with a calm and calm face, everyone in the court couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

Others say that the Xuan Wangye is a high meritorious, and even the emperor doesn't pay attention to it, this is indeed the reason, who can think that the Xuan Wangye is like this, and he can easily turn himself into a disaster in just a few words, and even offend the emperor without fear?

Lord Hai spoke for Lord Xuan, who was actually helping, and who couldn't see it?

The emperor is angry again, but he doesn't dare to really do anything to Prince Xuan, this is in everyone's eyes.

After Prince Xuan sat down, Chu Sihai glanced at everyone in the hall, and suddenly said: "Last night, the royal weapons factory was attacked, although there was no loss, but those thieves were also extremely bold, and even dared to covet royal things! Although this king failed to arrest the evil thief, he also injured the body of this evil thief, and now he ordered everyone to go to the court, because he was afraid that the evil thief would pretend to be a minister of the court and want to get through the trick. Therefore, today I would like to ask my father to let this king personally inspect your body, and give everyone a chance to show their innocence, and I ask for your forgiveness. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately began to discuss, although the king of the sea said that he was afraid that the thief would pretend to be a courtier, but in fact, he meant that he was afraid that someone in the court would be the mastermind of this matter.

Dare to rob the weapons of the royal workshop, this is the crime of the Nine Clans!

Although everyone seemed to be panicking, they were only worried that there would be another chaos in the imperial city, and as for who the thief was, they were just curious, but they were not afraid that the crime would fall on them.

Chu Dingbei had heard a little about the chaos in the royal workshop last night, but his father didn't let him deal with it, so he only ordered someone to inquire about the news.

Now hearing what the third emperor brother said, he strode forward and was the first to respond: "In this case, everyone take off their clothes to show their innocence, and this king will come first." ”

With that, he grabbed the neckline with his big palm and pulled it to both sides, and his coat and thin underwear were removed, revealing his sturdy body covered with large and small scars in front of everyone.

There are indeed a lot of scars, but they are basically old wounds, and the latest wound looks like it was a few months ago, and there are no new injuries, so the thief last night was definitely not the Northern Prince.

It's just that the scar of the Northern Prince, which makes the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty feel a little unbearable and respectful when they look at everyone, he is from such a noble background, he is the emperor's own son, but he also has to go to the battlefield in person to fight for the country.

In particular, there are two deep and long scars on this body, one winding from the shoulder to the chest, and the other from the chest to the abdomen.

It is not easy to be so seriously injured and survive unharmed.

Not only did the officials bear to see it, but several princes also had pity in their hearts.

The Seventh Emperor Brother used to be an impulsive and troublesome big boy, but now, he has really grown up and is a dignified manly husband.

Chu Dingbei didn't care about the eyes of others at all, and after revealing his body so that everyone could see it clearly, he gathered his clothes, dressed neatly and retreated to the side.

Seeing this, the prince also stepped forward and exposed his body in front of people, and next, the second prince also took off his clothes to prove his innocence to everyone.

The military officials above the court immediately took off their clothes, and for a while, except for the sea prince and the south prince in the entire court, only the Xuan prince who was sitting there did not make any move.

Lord Hai is the one who led the guards to guard the workshop last night, and even injured the thief with his own hands, naturally there is nothing suspicious, but the Lord of Nan and the Lord Xuan are different.

Chu Xuanchi picked up the fragrant tea given by the eunuch and tasted it carefully, Rushui didn't look at anyone, and he didn't seem to notice that the eyes of others were almost focused on him.

As for Chu Jiangnan, his face was calm, as indifferent as before, but he stood quietly, without saying a word, and there was no movement.

King Chu's gaze fell on Chu Jiangnan, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't speak.

He didn't doubt his five emperors, but all the officials had already untied their clothes to show their innocence, and as a prince, he should naturally set an example.

However, Chu Jiangnan still did not move, standing there quietly, self-contained, as if he was completely disconnected from the surrounding qiē, and only lived in his own world.

He didn't move, no one dared to accuse anything, and even the king of Chu couldn't bear to open his mouth to blame.

Seeing that everyone's eyes fell on his Fourth Emperor Brother and Fifth Emperor Brother, Chu Dingbei suddenly strode forward and said loudly: "The Fifth Emperor Brother is in poor health, he has just been treated by the Immortal Doctor and Murong Qiqi, and at this time, his body has not yet recovered, and the thief will definitely not be him." ”

In fact, several brothers in the royal family know that it is absolutely difficult to let Nan Wang Ye strip in public, and he is in a hurry, so he is afraid that he will disappear without a trace with a wave of his sleeves, and he doesn't care if you catch a thief or not.

He asked himself what he was clear, and he didn't need to explain much to others.

Being able to go to court early today is actually beyond the expectations of the King of Chu and the princes, I have to say that since Murong Qiqi appeared beside him, the changes of the Southern Princes have really been not small.

After finishing speaking, Chu Dingbei's words changed, and he said: "At yesterday's hunting meeting, the injury of the fourth emperor brother was seen by this king himself, and now the wounds on his body have only been treated, how can he expose it to everyone?"

But it's okay if he doesn't say this, when he says it, not only did he not exonerate Lord Xuan, but he seemed to be covering up something for him.

Although everyone knows about injuries on the hunting ground, it is inevitable that people will be suspicious that things are so coincidental.

For so many years, Lord Xuan has been the champion of the autumn hunt, but not only did he not win the championship this year, but he was injured......

But after the injury of the king of the sea to the thief, after the injury of the prince Xuan, thinking about it, the prince of the sea did not seem to be suspicious.

However, if there is really no suspicion, why doesn't Lord Xuan take off his clothes and let everyone see what is going on? As long as it is not injured in the place where Lord Hai was injured, there will be no problem, right?

In the face of everyone's doubts, Chu Xuanchi still tasted the fragrant tea leisurely, not taking these doubts into account at all.

The king of Chu was still a little suspicious of himself, the fourth emperor, and he couldn't help but say gently: "Four emperors, since everyone has taken off their clothes, the four emperors might as well ......."

"Is the father suspicious of his son?" Chu Xuanchi put down the cup and looked up at him, there was a faint light shining under a pair of starry eyes, but the light was too deep, as if it was hiding many secrets, but it was completely impossible for people to spy on one or two.

"The sons and daughters have been born and died for the Chu State for so many years, and the father, will you repay the sons with such a heart?"

Hearing this, the King of Chu was stunned, and was immediately speechless.

Now it's not just a matter of doubt and non-suspicion, since everyone has taken off their clothes, why is Prince Xuan unwilling to do it alone, is there really a secret hidden in this?

Even Chu Dingbei couldn't see it, not because he doubted his fourth emperor brother, but because he couldn't bear to see his elderly father and emperor being so embarrassed by the four emperor brothers in the court.

The Fourth Emperor Brother has always had such a temperament, and he has never cared much about others, but his way of doing this will always hurt people.

He stepped forward and looked at Chu Xuanchi, and said gently: "Fourth Emperor Brother, since everyone has taken off their clothes, it is better for you to take off your clothes as well, so that everyone can see the injuries on your body, so that you can convince the public." ”

"What the Seventh Emperor Brother means is that this king can't serve the people without taking off his clothes, right?" he raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Dingbei.

Chu Dingbei suddenly panicked: "Fourth Emperor Brother, I didn't mean that, I just ...... Just ......"

He gritted his teeth, but he was so shocked that he couldn't say it at all, the person he was most afraid of since he was a child was the Fourth Emperor Brother, and when it came to doubting him, he would never doubt that he would do something that would harm the country.

It's just that everyone has taken it off, and he is not as shy as the Five Emperor Brothers, so why don't he take off his clothes?

Chu Xuanchi's gaze swept over everyone, and finally fell on Chu Sihai's face, he said lightly: "The third emperor brother said that he had injured the thief, and this king was also injured, since everyone had to force this king to push off his clothes, then this king will fade to you." ”

He stood up, faced the crowd, and finally reached out to untie his belt.

forced him to take off his clothes, this crime is a big crime, and no one dares to look directly at him, but they are complaining in their hearts.

This is not what they want to force, it is their royal people who let everyone use this way to show their innocence, how can it end up that they forced Xuan Wang Ye to take off his clothes?
