Zhao Mo is already very clear in his heart now. The Beirong people tricked Zhao Qi into putting this pile of letters in his study, just for themselves, wanting to frame themselves and ruin their impression in front of the emperor and the prince.

After all, he has always expressed in front of the emperor and the crown prince that he has no interest in the position of the heir of the East Palace, but His Royal Highness the crown prince is unwilling to give up, and he is still favored by him. If the emperor and the crown prince believe the content of the letter, he Zhao Mo will become a model of duplicity and deep thinking, to put it more seriously, the crime of bullying the king cannot be escaped, and the prince's favor for him will be greatly reduced.

Even if Zhao Mo never thought of becoming the heir of the crown prince at all, he didn't want to lose his holy family because of some trumped-up charges. What is the fate of the clan that has lost his holy family and is even rejected by the royal family, just look at his father Zhao Shuo, and the Shanyang Royal Mansion is also a good example, it is an existence that even ordinary officials can despise. Zhao Mo didn't want to fall into that situation! Even if he could go back to live in the fiefdom in the future, he hoped to retain a certain amount of power and status, otherwise how could he provide his wife with a decent life?!

Zhao Mo stared at the pile of fake letters, with a secret hatred in his heart. Although it is not known what conspiracy the Beirong people will have in the future, and the so-called nobleman who colluded with them plans to use what method to make this pile of forged letters appear in front of the emperor and the crown prince, and now the situation has been broken. Zhao Mo felt that he was not vigilant enough about this matter in the past, he was too lax, and in the future, he needed to pay more attention to the enemy who hid in the dark and had bad intentions for himself!

Zhao Mo had a gloomy face, but the emperor and the crown prince were obviously not so easily fooled.

The prince chuckled and said, "I don't believe that Guanglu will be such a person. Besides, if the letter is true, the Beirong spy will not be able to trick Zhao Qi and put the letter in the study on Guanglu. This is obviously a false accusation, but I don't know how the Beirong people found out so much secret information?" He was more concerned about the leakage of the news from the East Palace, how it was caused, and he didn't take those letters very seriously.

The emperor looked down at the letters, was silent, and waited until the crown prince finished speaking, and then said lightly: "Although I don't know who is colluding with these Beirong people, it seems that the matter is caused by the lack of an heir to the royal family. Emperor, there are some things that you should have made a decision earlier, and if you drag it out, not only will the country be unstable, but even innocent juniors like Guanglu will be affected for no reason. What's more, you don't owe anyone anything. ”

The crown prince understood what the emperor meant, and his expression was slightly gloomy, but he still nodded solemnly: "Father is right, son-in-law...... Know what to do. ”

Zhao Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief below. As long as the prince is willing to temporarily give up the idea of having a family member of the step-clan, first accept a few healthy concubines, and try to give birth to a child, all the turmoil will eventually subside. Everything always needs to be tried first, and if you don't try it, how do you know if it will work?

After being treated by Doctor Ye, the prince said that his health was still not very healthy, and he always had a few minor illnesses every year, but in fact, he was not weaker than ordinary noble children. When he was sick and weak in the past, he was still able to give birth to a son and a daughter, but now his health has improved greatly, and he is still in the prime of life, there is no reason why he can't have more children. The reason why I always want to pass is because I have been sick for a long time and have no confidence in myself. At the same time, I also hope to repay the crown princess and Chen Liangdi for their companionship over the years.

But no matter how hard the crown princess and Chen Liangdi work, they are not as important as Jiangshan Sheji, and they have been given a chance for several years, and they have never seen anyone pregnant.

Zhao Mo had long been looking forward to the prince making up his mind.

The crown prince turned his head and comforted Zhao Mo again: "You don't have to take these letters to heart, my father and I both believe in your innocence." I don't know why the Beirong people are targeting you, when Yuan Tongzhi captures the Beirong secret spies and brings them to justice, and then interrogates the identity of their accomplices, you must be able to find out. You can go back and wait for news. If you have free time, you can also go to your father's place and see if anyone has stuffed anything in his place. Since the person behind the letter wants to frame you and forges these letters, he must do something to your father to show that the letters are genuine. They've had several accomplices infiltrate your father's house, and although you've led someone to clean it up a few times, there's no guarantee that nothing will slip through the cracks. ”

This is actually the meaning of giving Zhao Mo face, asking him to check the greasy in Zhao Shuo's house, which not only expresses his trust in him, but also maintains his face.

Zhao Mo was grateful in his heart, and hurriedly agreed, and thanked him again and again before retreating.

As soon as Zhao Mo left, the emperor said to the prince: "For no reason, the person behind it will not set such a trap for Guanglu." Since they asked Zhao Qi to hide the letters in Guanglu's study, and they also clearly said that they needed to act before Guanglu's birthday, it means that on Guanglu's birthday, there will be people from you, my father and son's house who will go to Guanglu's palace, and most of them will enter his study, and then find the letters in the box. Don't be quiet, and keep an eye out for advice from anyone around you, asking you to send someone to the Guanglu Mansion on February 2. Most of that person has a problem. ”

The crown prince responded with a solemn expression: "Father, don't worry, the sons and daughters will definitely find out the spies around them!"

The emperor nodded, and then lowered his face again: "Since this incident is going to the position of the emperor's heir, I am afraid that the so-called nobleman who colluded with the Beirong people must be from the clan." It is really ironic that there are sinners in the Zhao clan who fornicate with foreign countries. If this person cannot be thoroughly investigated and brought to justice as soon as possible, I don't know what kind of collaborator and traitor he will do in the future!"

The prince understood the seriousness of the matter and nodded solemnly.

Zhao Mo took Zhao Qi out of the palace with a dark face. Along the way, Zhao Qi sat in the carriage, and his heart was uneasy. After returning to the courtyard, Zhao Mo asked him to go back to the courtyard first, but he timidly grabbed his brother's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Isn't the matter very troublesome? What is in the cloth bag? Is it terrible? Are those people trying to harm my brother?"

Zhao Qi is not stupid, since the Beirong people let him hide his things in Zhao Mo's study, then he must be going to Zhao Mo, how can he be kind?

Zhao Mo looked down at the worried expression on the little brother's face, slowed down his expression, squatted down and comforted him: "It's okay, this time thanks to Brother Qi'er's cleverness and ability, he ruined the plot of the bad guys." Even if those people wanted to harm their brother, now that the emperor and the crown prince know about it, they won't believe them anymore. My brother still has a lot of things to do, so you can wait at home with peace of mind. I will add guards in the courtyard, and if you lack anything, you will tell the maid ring in the courtyard. I'm afraid I'll have to stop for a few days when things settle down, and then my brother will ask your husband to come and teach you. ”

Zhao Qi breathed a sigh of relief and raised a big smile: "Brother is fine, don't worry about me, I will obediently stay at home and practice calligraphy and endorsement." Sir has already done my homework a few years ago, I haven't finished it yet, I have to hurry up and do it!"

Zhao Mo smiled and nodded, and then said: "Brother Qi behaved very well in the palace today, maybe the emperor and His Royal Highness the crown prince will be rewarded, you can wait for the news with peace of mind." Don't just do your homework, when you're tired, you can play, but you can't overdo it, and you have to listen to the advice of your grandmothers when you eat and sleep. ”

Zhao Qi answered loudly, and then ran back to his yard happily. As Zhao Mo said, it didn't take long for the rewards in the palace to arrive. It was rewarded by the prince, one for Zhao Mo and one for Zhao Qi. There are a lot of things for Zhao Qi, clothes, books, and the four treasures of the study, all of which are in accordance with the specifications of the children of the clan. With this reward, even if Zhao Qi's background is inappropriate, he will be able to gain a firm foothold in the clan in the future. However, because it is necessary to investigate who the clan in collusion with the Beirong people is, the prince's reward is very low-key, and the news is kept secret for the time being, so it will be announced to the public for a while. In other words, Zhao Qi has to be under the white eyes for a while.

Zhao Qi didn't take it to heart, he was a small child, and he was already very satisfied to be able to go to his heart and stay at his brother's house with peace of mind, not to mention that the prince rewarded a lot of good things, and he could still fiddle with them slowly. He can't see or hear what the people outside say, so he doesn't care.

Zhao Mo was not as easy as him. He was very wary of the person who colluded with the Beirong people, and it was really difficult to guard against such an unidentified person who was secretly calculating himself. The most important thing is, who is this person? Is the other party really going for the position of the emperor's heir? If the other party feels that if he has framed him, he can successfully eradicate a strong contender for the emperor's heir, then the other party itself must be a disciple of the close branch of the holy family Zhenglong? If not, where does the confidence come from, thinking that after kicking him out, he can easily become the prince's favored heir?

If there really is such a person, even if the other party does not collude with the Beirong people, his hostility towards Zhao Mo alone is enough to make people wary.

Zhao Mo solemnly waited for the latest news from Yuan Tongzhi's side at home, and kept sending people to inquire about Yuan Tongzhi's progress, wanting to grasp the first-hand news.

However, Yuan Tongzhi's pursuit of Beirong's secret spies did not seem to be very smooth. His men did follow the two Beirong spies who were in contact with Zhao Qi, found their temporary hiding place, and then discovered the whereabouts of their third accomplice. However, the other party is very cunning, hiding in a remote and uninhabited place, with a wide field of vision, and no one can approach it secretly. The other party probably sensed the existence of the pursuers, and did not dare to be careless, so the soldiers immediately divided into three ways and fled in three directions.

Yuan Tongzhi knew that it was unlikely that even their allies would be captured in one fell swoop, so he could only do his best to arrest these three Beirong spies first, and then the soldiers went to chase them in three ways.

But I don't know if they are unlucky, the three Beirong secret spies, one of them was almost caught up, in a panic stepped on the air, fell down the valley, and when the secret spy department found him, he was seriously injured and unconscious, and he didn't know if he could save his life, so he had to be carried to the temporary station first, so that the medical officer could treat him; the other person fled to a dead end, and when he saw that he could only be captured, he suddenly came out of nowhere with a cold arrow, which hit him in the throat and killed him on the spot; however, this cold arrow also exposed the whereabouts of the third person who was speculated to be the leader of the secret spy, Yuan Tongzhi led people to track him and chased people away on the border of Tongzhou, currently conducting a carpet search near the place where he disappeared.

Zhao Mo hurriedly asked Ah Shou, who came to report the news: "At the boundary of Tongzhou, but the Tu's Grange where the coachman was located before?!"

Ah Shou shook his head: "No, there is Zhuangzi of Shanyang Wangfu nearby." ”

Sanyang Palace?

Zhao Mo couldn't help but be stunned.
