Chapter 64: Thick clouds cover the sun

The lights in the warm pavilion of Qinfang Garden were bright, and the prince stood in front of the window, looking at the corner of the courtyard covered with night dew outside, and took a shallow sip of the hot tea in his hand. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The leaves and branches of the fragrant bushes were withered, the cold moon and frost in the lotus pond, and with a gust of wind blowing grass, the shadows of the trees were wrapped in a roll of cold wind, which made him frown, and raised his hand to close the window.

"Lord Cheng is going to the Spirit Slaughter Division, have you heard anything from Cen Feng?"

The prince put the teacup back on the bookcase and sat down on the velvet-covered armchair.

"What kind of character Cen Feng is, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows. Cheng Yan sat beside him and swept lightly, "If it weren't for the old minister having Hanqing's righteous son as a cover, this trip to the Slaughter Spirit Division would never have been possible." ā€

However, the crown prince was unimpressed: "This palace and Lord Cheng are in the same position in the eyes of outsiders, and that Cen Feng is no matter how clever he is, he will not think of the connection between you and me." Besides, Lord Cheng's righteous son is in his hands, and it is a matter of course for the godfather to care about his son to go to comfort and save him, at most, he will only feel that Lord Cheng is just caring for your son.

"You can't take anything lightly, and you have to be cautious to make sure nothing goes wrong. Cheng Yan glanced at the prince, and the reproach in his eyes was fleeting, "You and I are eye-catching, in this case, the more uninterested we are, the better, and ignoring it is the wisest choice." ā€

"Then Lord Cheng is here, isn't there nothing to be found?" the prince leaned forward, his expression slightly nervous, "They arrested people, but they were slow to affirm the crime, and they seemed to deliberately delay this matter, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the style of the Spirit Slaughter Division." In this palace, I always feel unsteady. ā€

"If you talk about the harvest, it is really small. Cheng Yan straightened his waist and looked gloomy, "The investigation of the Soul Slaughter Division has always been secretive, and the old minister can't investigate it openly. But from Cen Feng's words, it can be heard that he still has doubts about this matter. Although we let Gu Chen and Fang He Nian be substitutes for the dead ghosts, we have always done too hastily to blame Gu Hanqing. ā€

Indeed, the Gu family has strong financial resources, and it is reasonable to be reasonable, so there is no need to take the risk of robbing the official silver. Cheng Yan knows that Cen Feng is shrewd and wise, loyal to his duties, and is by no means a foolish official who closes the case hastily. Just with a blood letter that suddenly appeared, it was difficult for him to believe it all.

And these specious appearances are exactly what Cen Feng wants to reveal to Cheng Yan.

In other words, it is the off-string sound that he wants to pass on to those who have a heart.

"Alas, it's been three years since this happened, and this palace thought that God didn't know it, and he would be able to settle the gap in the household department with money, but he didn't expect that something would go wrong today. The prince slapped the table heavily, indignant, "That Fang Nian, this time he really killed the palace." ā€

"Your Highness, don't worry, things are not as bad as we thought. As soon as Gu Chen and Fang Henian died, even if the clues to this matter were broken, even if they wanted to investigate, they would not be able to investigate. Cheng Yan slowly stood up from the chair, his eyes darkened, "The old minister is worried that the longer the time drags on, the more variables will arise, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, it seems that the only way to ask Xiao Yu, the secretary of Dali Temple, to come forward and propose to His Majesty that he wants someone." ā€

The prince's face changed when he heard this, and his tone was full of worry: "Is it too blatant for Lord Cheng to do this?" Even if Cen Feng doesn't doubt it, it's hard to guarantee that his father won't be suspicious. ā€

The corners of Cheng Yan's mouth showed a smug smile, and he said unhurriedly: "Everyone in the court knows that for many years, Tu Lingsi has been relying on the support of His Majesty behind him, and has snatched the credit of Dali Temple every time, and has always been secretly at odds with Tu Lingsi. It is very appropriate for Xiao Yu to come forward to ask for someone. ā€

He paused here as if he intended to leave space for the prince to think, and seeing that he nodded thoughtfully, he continued: "Tu Ling Si has been holding this case for too long, but there has been no progress, and it is time to cede power. As long as Hanqing enters Dali Temple, I still have some old friendships with Xiao Fu, and when the time comes, no matter what we want to do, we don't have to look ahead and get in the way like now. ā€

"Lord Cheng's words are indeed reasonable, but how can Cen Feng let people go easily?" the prince pursed his lips with a solemn expression, "Besides, Lord Cheng, don't forget, except for Cen Feng, the third brother is the biggest resistance." ā€

"It doesn't matter whether the Soul Slaughter Division lets people go or not, as long as this matter is mentioned in front of His Majesty, this back and forth will definitely play a role in urging. No matter what kind of medicine Cen Feng Hulu sells, he just wants to delay time, and I'm afraid he is also powerless. Cheng Yan's eyes fluttered, and he smiled coldly, "As long as Han Qing is convicted, he will inevitably be handed over to Dali Temple, and in the end, the initiative will still be in our hands." ā€

When the prince heard Cheng Yan's words, most of the gloom on his face dissipated in an instant, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sly smile: "It seems that Lord Cheng wants to be both soft and hard?" But this palace guesses that your godson seems to be gentle and elegant, and he should be a hard bone, but it can't be touched by a few heartfelt words." Besides, he and the third brother have met before, and it is not impossible to say that they have released their previous suspicions. ā€

Seeing that Cheng Yan's eyes were slightly closed, he just listened but didn't answer, so he stood up and paced in front of him and continued: "As the daughter of Master Cheng's family said, Gu Hanqing is a person who thinks of his old love, so even if he is in pain in his heart, he is not willing to deal with the third brother, only if there is a more important thing threatened at this moment, he will make a choice between brotherhood and such a thing." ā€

It seems that Su Jin's words have given His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a lot of inspiration. Cheng Yan raised his chin, his eyes were slightly condensed, and there was a thick vicissitudes of life between his eyebrows, "After all, I grew up watching Hanqing, a child, and now I married my daughter to him, and I don't want to give up this chess piece unless I have to." ā€

"Is Lord Cheng reluctant to be this godson, or is he reluctant to squander the gold and silver treasures that the Gu family has squandered?"

The prince teased with a smile, and then said with a straight face: "No, adults can rest assured, as long as this young master Gu can be used by us, confessing that the third brother is the real culprit behind the scenes, and when this palace ascends to the throne, whether it is him or the entire Gu family, this palace will treat it well." But if he insists on hitting the stone with an egg and wants the jade to be burned, then at that time, don't blame Bengong for turning his face and being ruthless. ā€

The prince said the words clearly, and his eyes were suddenly covered with dark clouds, and murderous opportunities were everywhere.

He has always been a person who holds grudges, and last time he personally came forward to invite Gu Hanqing to talk about peace, but he was treated coldly and returned in vain, so he has always held a grudge against this matter. Now that Gu Hanqing still has use value, and taking into account Cheng Yan's face, he has endured it so far.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rest assured, Han Qing is a smart person and knows how to choose. ā€

Cheng Yan said slowly, the essence in his eyes flashed slightly, and gradually condensed into a cold and piercing cold light.

Lao Chen thought that the day he made his choice was when the disaster of Yanwangfu was approaching.
