Since the prince went to Lishan Yuling to guard filial piety, all the open and secret battles, and all the deceit and deception seem to have been temporarily ended. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It's like a days of downpour that has finally stopped, and you know it's going to come back, but at the end of the day, there's no sign of a sudden change.

However, after such a period of quiet silence, a shocking news came out in the capital. For a while, there was a turmoil, and everyone was full of gold, which soon broke the calm that was floating on the surface.

Because the rumors this time are menacing, they are no longer just nonsense on the streets and alleys, nor are they short gossip in the parents, but about the life experience of the prince of the current dynasty.

Just ten words "The crown prince is not Emperor Zhou's own flesh and blood" is enough to make the people of the whole city talk about it, and cast a lingering shadow on the entire Zhou Dynasty royal family.

And behind this, it is naturally Gao Heng who is suspicious of the prince's background.

As the object that the prince wants to eradicate, he understands better than anyone that the prince has planted such a big heel this time, and he must have a deep resentment in his heart, and he will definitely plot in secret and prepare for a bloody shame.

Once he returns from Lishan and regains the trust of Emperor Zhou, he and the Yan Wangfu, as well as all those related to him, will once again fall into a dire crisis.

Cheng Jinzhi's experience is already a painful blow and a lesson.

He couldn't wait any longer.

"Are you sure that this is what the people in the capital are saying now?"

In the elegant residence built by the lake on the outskirts of the capital, Yuan Peng stood in front of the gangan and stood in the wind, after hearing the news from the jade pot, his dark eyes reflected a deep worry.

Since confronting the prince in the imperial study that day and helping Gao Heng, except for a visit to the palace once during this time, Cheng Jinzhi, who has not yet woken up, has not had any contact with Gao Heng alone in private.

Although the atmosphere between the two of them was somewhat relaxed compared to before, he could still feel that Gao Heng was a very vigilant person.

Especially when facing himself, there is an indescribable strangeness between his eyebrows.

Because he didn't know that the prince's perfectly hidden life experience had already been shocked by Gao Heng and Cheng Jinzhi.

He didn't even know that Gao Heng had already faintly sensed that the crown prince and Empress Zhao might have a great relationship with Nanchu.

"It's true, it was the people who sent out by his subordinates who heard it with their own ears. Yuhu nodded solemnly, "But we can't find out who this rumor is coming from for the time being." ”

"It's so strange, the people who knew about this back then, apart from you and me and my father, are only Queen Zhao now. Since it is impossible for us to leak half a point, Empress Zhao is very secretive about this matter, so it is naturally impossible to tell others easily, so as not to fall into the ears of Emperor Zhou and cause death. ”

Yuan Peng's expression pursed the corners of his lips sternly, and one hand clasped his trunk hard, obviously worried about this sudden disaster. After all, he and the king of Chu wanted to use the crown prince as a tool to achieve their respective ambitions and goals.

But Emperor Zhou was a suspicious person, and this rumor was huge, and at a glance, he knew that someone had been planning it for a long time and did it deliberately.

Once he heard the news and began to doubt the prince's background, if there was no key ironclad evidence to dispel this rumor, he would definitely not easily dispel his doubts.

But if he really tried to confirm it, the result would naturally be an irreparable disaster.

At that time, not to mention the crown prince's position as the prince, even his and Empress Zhao's lives will be burned.

In this way, the vision and expectations that have been planned in his heart for many years have been in vain, and his achievements have fallen short.

"It can be seen that there are other people besides us who know this secret. ”

Yuan Peng twisted his eyebrows and took a deep breath, but the corner of his eyes glanced at the jade pot beside him intentionally or unintentionally, and his eyes suddenly became full of confusion.

"Others... Who could it be?"

Hearing this, the jade pot deepened his eyes thoughtfully, and was about to say something more, but saw Yuan Peng, who was still closing his eyes and pondering, suddenly raised his hand and pulled out his sword with great speed, pointing at her throat.

Feeling a murderous aura rushing towards his face, the jade pot's eyes trembled, obviously not expecting Yuan Peng to suddenly make such a move, and subconsciously took a step back.

However, after staring at it for only a moment, he quickly adjusted his breath and returned to his usual composure.

"It turns out that His Highness still refuses to fully trust me. ”

Looking at Yuan Peng's long sword close at hand, the jade pot tightened his cheeks and smiled coldly, but his face was completely fearless, but on the contrary, there was a trace of disapproving contempt.

"You are a person trusted by your father, and it may be true that you are loyal to your father, but it is difficult to say whether you are loyal to me or not. After all, in the eyes of my father, I am far less pleasing to him than my royal brother. ”

Yuan Peng snorted coldly, took a step closer with his sword, raised his eyes to meet the calm and calm eyes of the jade pot, his gaze stopped for a moment, and the corners of his lips were lightly raised.

"But rest assured, I will not indiscriminately kill those who follow me, and of course, I will not spare anyone who tries to betray me. I just want to remind you not to make a wrong step and don't play any tricks on me, otherwise, it's not just a matter of dying. ”

In the face of Yuan Peng's pretended ferocious intimidation and threat, the jade pot pretended to bow his head slightly, but he also knew that the reason why he drew his sword to face each other was just to test himself, not to really want to do it.

But out of order to give her master a little face, she still didn't expose it directly, but continued to say with a solemn face: "Your Highness's teachings, the jade pot must be remembered in your heart." It's just that no matter what His Highness thinks in his heart at the moment, Yuju just wants to tell His Highness that His Highness and I have always been in the same boat, and if the crown prince falls, there will only be a hundred harms and no benefits for us. His Highness has time to suspect an insignificant person here, but he might as well think about how to deal with this rumor.

"I don't need you to teach me this. ”

Yuan Peng put away his sword, turned his head sideways and snorted unnaturally, then turned his gaze to the rippling lake.

And the people who hide in the shadows and manipulate this rumor are like an undercurrent floating under the calm waters of this lake, which cannot be brought to the surface without the help of a strong wind that is about to rain from the mountains.

And he knew very well that according to the uncontrollable momentum in the city today, this rumor would reach Emperor Zhou's ears sooner or later.

Before Emperor Zhou learns of this, he must find out the enemy who is hiding in the shadows and making waves.
