Chen Anxin jumped slightly, and he always felt that Emperor Yongzhen's words meant something.

"Your Majesty means... Liao Shizi is all pretending?" he paused, and couldn't help but show surprise on his face: "Could it be that he has a different heart for His Majesty?"

Emperor Yongzhen glanced at Chen An when he heard this, and sneered: "You have been in the palace for so many years, don't tell me that you didn't see Liao Chuxiu's thoughts."

Chen An was taken aback by Emperor Yongzhen's words.

He did guess a little why Liao Chuxiu took this move, it was nothing more than that he had no evidence at all to prove that His Majesty did what happened back then, and he had no ability to fight against the imperial power, just with this blood letter, Liao Chuxiu could not have done anything to Emperor Yongzhen, and it was even very likely to provoke Emperor Yongzhen and overturn the entire Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion overnight.

Liao Chuxiu wants to deal with Emperor Yongzhen, there is only one way, that is, to support the army and not return, but not to mention that Helan Jun is still in Beijing, when Liao Chuxiu led the troops south, the entire Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion became a caged place, Helan Jun's every move was in the eyes of Emperor Yongzhen, just said that with a blood letter that he didn't know whether it was true or false, he would not return to resist the decree, and Emperor Yongzhen only needed an excuse to make outsiders think that the Liao family was an excuse to rebel, and the palace could directly condemn him for the crime of resisting the decree.

At that time, unless Liao Chuxiu and Helan Mingquan are opposed, he will not be able to fight Emperor Yongzhen at all, and he will even be accused of being a chaotic minister and thief, and he will be involved in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion and Helan family for several generations, and even end up with the same fate as Wu Shijun.

So instead of taking a risk, it's better to go back to Beijing.

took the initiative to present the blood letter, and showed his loyalty, no matter what the rumors outside, at least in the court, in order to appease the hearts of the courtiers, at this time, the palace will never touch him no matter what.

Emperor Yongzhen looked at Chen An, like a joke, but with three points of gloom: "When will you learn to say one point and three points in front of me." ”

Chen An originally wanted to be with the mud and not mix this matter, but at this time, Emperor Yongzhen broke his mind, and also said his tentative words, although Emperor Yongzhen's tone was calm, but Chen An was so frightened that he knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty forgives your sins, Your Majesty forgives your sins!"

"The minions don't dare to hide anything from His Majesty, but His Majesty has his own holy judgment on the affairs of the court, and the minions don't dare to discuss it, let alone put their beaks in the political affairs of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China with their mutilated bodies... The minions will never dare to deceive, I hope Your Majesty will know it..."

Emperor Yongzhen saw that his face was blue with fright, and the whole person was trembling on the ground, and he couldn't wait to go down into the dust and leave, so he looked at it for a long time before retracting his gaze, as if the person who said that was not him, with three points of puzzlement: "What are you so afraid of doing, I just say it casually, you have followed me for decades, I naturally treat you differently from others, but you, the older you get, the less courageous you become." ”

"Minions, minions......"

Chen An couldn't figure out what Emperor Yongzhen meant, so he shrank and didn't know what to say.

Emperor Yongzhen retracted his eyes when he heard this, and said lightly: "Okay, don't be a slave, get up quickly when the ground is cold." ”

Chen An hesitated for a moment, and then carefully got up from the ground, but did not dare to raise his head.

Emperor Yongzhen turned his back to him and said, "Let people go to Haosheng to look at Liao Chuxiu, see who he has been in contact with recently, and also, Xuan Li Fengqian and Guo Chongzhen have entered the palace to see me." ”

"Yes. ”

After Chen An received the order, he hung his head and exited the imperial study, and when he walked to the door and closed the door with his backhand, he raised his eyes and saw Emperor Yongzhen holding the blood book with an unknown expression.

Half of his body was hidden in the shadows, and he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, but it was inexplicable, but it made Chen Anxin feel cold.

Closing the door of the imperial study lightly, and when he stood outside, Chen An was shocked to realize that the back of his neck was cold, and his close-fitting shirt was also half wet.

His Majesty's temper in the past two years has become more and more elusive, and it makes people not know what he is thinking, many times, maybe he is still warm in the spring breeze last moment, and he can be thunderous and angry the next moment, and many palace people who have been disposed of don't know what it is for until they die.

His suspicion and jealousy are getting stronger and stronger, and his desire to control the courtiers is getting stronger and stronger, and even he, who has been with him for so many years, is becoming more and more unable to guess what Emperor Yongzhen sometimes thinks.

Chen An tugged at the slightly cool back collar and walked outside, thinking about what was going on in the imperial study just now.

Although Liao Chuxiu didn't say anything today, and even seemed more humble than before on the surface, without the slightest rebelliousness, Chen An always felt that this matter would not be as simple as it seemed.

Although Liao Chuxiu said that he did not trust Wu Shijun's words, let alone that he had never doubted the saint, he also told Emperor Yongzhen very clearly that he did suspect that someone had done something to defeat the Marquis of Zhenyuan six years ago, and even mentioned the Liu family when talking about the blood letter.

If Emperor Yongzhen wants to appease Liao Chuxiu, or even clear his own stigma, he must order someone to investigate the war six years ago in detail, how many things happened six years ago and no one knows better than Chen An, although the Liu family did not do anything in the war six years ago, but what about the side, the Liu family is afraid that they have been with the Wen family all these years, can they really withstand the investigation?

First the Wen family, then the Liu family......

Chen An always felt that there was a sense of uneasiness about the storm.

Maybe......

It's really time for him to find a way out for himself.

"Father-in-law Chen, a little eunuch from the inner chamberlain sent this, saying that your old man asked him to buy it before, and asked the servant to hand it over to you. ”

When Chen An was thinking about it, a little eunuch suddenly came over next to him and stretched out his hand to hand Chen An something.

Chen An frowned, he had never asked the people in the inner prison to buy anything for him, not to mention that even if there were, he could have directly notified the leading eunuch over there, instead of finding a small eunuch to do it for him.

He glanced at the thing in the man's hand, at first he didn't care much, he just thought that someone below was coming to stammer him, but when he saw clearly what the man was holding in his hand, his eyes suddenly froze, and then he reached out and grabbed the thing, and then said with a blue face: "What about that person?"

The little eunuch was startled: "I have already gone back to the inner eunuch." ”

Chen An gritted his teeth tightly, that person was probably not the eunuch of the inner chamberlain at all, even if he chased him over now, he was afraid that he would not be able to find anything: "What did he say when he sent something over?"

The little eunuch hurriedly thought about it for a while: "He seems to have said that the things that his father-in-law wants have not been bought yet, and when the goods arrive at Qifengzhai tomorrow, he will send the rest to his father-in-law." After finishing speaking, the little eunuch saw that Chen An's face was not very good-looking, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Father-in-law, but what's wrong?"

Chen An held the thing in his hand: "It's nothing, don't talk about today's things to others, otherwise you ......"

"Father-in-law, don't worry, the slave will not talk much. ”

Chen An glanced at him: "Go down." ”
