Chapter 382: Referring to the Deer as a Horse
"What the hell happened last night? Why did you appear in that private house in the north of the city, Cen Feng said that you kidnapped Cheng Jinzhi, and mobilized the archers of the city defense camp to kill your third brother and kill your mouth, is such an absurd and unforgivable evil deed?"
In the imperial study in the southwest corner of the Showa Palace, Emperor Zhou looked away from the mountains of folds in front of him with a serious expression, and instead fell on the prince and Cen Feng in front of him, raising his voice impressively. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Especially when he saw the crown prince, he frowned angrily, raised his hand and slapped it heavily on several cases.
"Father Emperor Mingjian, this is definitely a misunderstanding, it is obvious that some people with intentions deliberately wronged their sons!"
As he spoke, the prince leaned down emotionally, but as soon as his hands touched the ground, he suddenly bared his teeth in pain and protected his hand on his left shoulder, which was stabbed by Cheng Jinzhi with a hairpin.
"What's wrong with you? But where are you hurt?"
Seeing this, Emperor Zhou leaned forward suspiciously, and saw that the prince made a gesture of forbearance and pain with an aggrieved face.
After a deliberate pause, he slowly lowered the hand on his shoulder, and said every word excitedly and earnestly.
"Don't hide what my father said, the injuries on the son's body were caused by the sharp sword in the hands of the third brother last night. From beginning to end, it was clear that he wanted to kill his son, Cen Changsi only arrived later, and he didn't know what happened before, and his father couldn't impose such a big crime on his son just because he listened to Cen Changsi's one-sided words. Does my father believe that his sons would do such a hurtful thing?"
After the prince finished speaking, he deliberately turned his head sideways and glanced coldly at Cen Feng beside him, because his movements and tone were too violent, involving the wound that had just been medicated, and his whole face began to turn slightly white.
In the face of the prince's words, Cen Feng seemed very calm, as if he had expected him to bite back.
So in a slightly respectful tone, he asked without hurry.
"Then the lower official wants to ask His Royal Highness the Prince, many people in the palace last night knew that His Royal Highness was obviously staying in the East Palace, but why did he appear in the ordinary private house in the north of the city in the middle of the night? You must know that the palace gate was locked at that time, but the lower official asked the guards outside the palace gate last night, and no one saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince go out of the palace. Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to say that he has the art of doppelganger?"
"Heh, it seems that Cen Changsi really worked hard to pour this dirty water on the palace for the third brother. ”
When the prince heard this, a gloomy undercurrent rose in his eyes, and after pretending to be weak and coughing a few times, he just wanted to speak, but saw Emperor Zhou instruct the eunuch outside to send a cushion of Zhangrong and spread it at the prince's feet.
"Since you are injured, you don't have to kneel, just sit and talk. ”
Seeing this, the corners of the prince's mouth raised a smug arc, knowing that Emperor Zhou still felt sorry for his son in his heart.
After thanking him gratefully, he straightened up and sat up.
"Back to my father, my son did stay in the East Palace last night, but he suddenly received a secret report from outside the palace, saying that he seemed to have found Princess Yan's whereabouts in a private house in the north of the city, so he left the palace in a hurry. Although Erchen and the third brother's princess do not have much personal relationship on weekdays, how to say that she is also Erchen's brother-in-law, and she was pregnant with Liujia at the time, so her sudden whereabouts are unknown and her life and death are uncertain, of course, Erchen also hopes to help her third brother find a beloved wife as soon as possible. ”
The prince said sincerely, his eyes were deep, and a touching sincerity spread between his eyebrows.
"Even if I don't know if this secret report is completely true, Ke Erchen is also eager to save people's hearts, and he really doesn't want to let go of any possibility. And the reason why those guards claimed that they had never seen Erchen leave the palace was because Erchen deliberately instructed them to do so. After all, Erchen only went to the mansion with a tentative mentality to find out, if he disturbed his father and mother for this, it would be Erchen's sin. ”
After listening to the prince's statement, Emperor Zhou's eyes turned slightly, but there was still a bit of doubt and concern in his eyes.
He didn't know the relationship between the two brothers, the prince and Gao Heng.
Even if Emperor Zhou didn't believe that the two would come to the point of killing each other, he would not be so nervous and worried that he would go out of the palace overnight to save people, as the prince said.
Or go to save a Cheng Jinzhi who once offended Queen Zhao because of the emperor's eldest grandson.
But in front of the crown prince, Emperor Zhou did not express the doubts in his heart, but nodded thoughtfully.
"Well, I'll just tell you the truth. Then according to your meaning, you went to save people yourself without informing Heng'er?"
"No, although Erchen wants to save people, he has also thought that Cheng Jinzhi is the princess of the third brother after all, and he should be told about it. So on the way to the mansion, he deliberately sent someone to Yanwang's Mansion to tell the third brother the news. But now that I think about it, maybe my son shouldn't have done it at all. Otherwise, it would not have made the third brother who came one step later misunderstand, thinking that Erchen had arrested his beloved wife, like crazy, and wanted to avenge that Cheng Jinzhi, and actually wanted to kill Erchen. ”
When the prince said the second half of the sentence, his tone gradually became low, and a trace of unwilling hatred flowed from the corners of his eyes.
"I heard that Cheng Jinzhi was trapped in the sea of fire at that time, and her life was hanging by a thread, and it was Heng'er who rushed into the sea of fire to rescue her. Since you have already arrived first, before that, have you ever noticed who is the person who took Cheng Jinzhi?"
"Nope. By the time Erchen arrived, the building had already been empty, and there was no trace of anything left except for the fire. It can be seen that that person is very cautious and cautious, and he is by no means an easy character to deal with. Erchen thought, it must be the third brother's enemy outside, right?"
The prince said with some humility, although he tried his best to hide it, but he still lacked a confidence between his words.
However, because he was already injured, even if his tone was weak, it did not make Emperor Zhou notice that something was wrong.
"The coincidences in this world are sometimes really incredible. ”
At this moment, I only heard Cen Feng say something casually, but when I listened carefully, it was very meaningful.
"Cen Changsi, what do you think?"
When the prince heard this, he pursed the line of his lips very unhappily and asked very politely.
"It's nothing, Xia Guan just thinks that what happened last night is too much of a coincidence. ”
Cen Feng adjusted his breathing, his eyes loosened, and then he smiled faintly.
"If everything is as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, then that person must have the ability to calculate and calculate. Otherwise, why did he take people away after setting the fire, as if he knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King Yan would appear. ”
He said in an indifferent tone, and suddenly turned his head to look at the prince, and a sharp light appeared in his deep eyes.
"Or... That person, in fact, is simply a thief shouting to catch a thief?"
