Hearing Emperor Zhou suddenly say such a sentence, Concubine Hui's heart trembled, thinking that he had noticed his thoughts and the connection between Cheng Jinzhi and Concubine Jing, and the whole person couldn't help but become nervous. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But in Emperor Zhou's heart, the reason why he said this was not out of suspicion of Concubine Hui.

As Concubine Hui just said, Concubine Jing has been imprisoned in Jiuyoutai for decades, although she heard that she has lost her mind and become crazy, everything is calm, and she is worried about King Huai in her heart, and there has never been any news of suicide.

But at the moment when Cheng Jinzhi was imprisoned in the Nine Hidden Platforms, she suddenly hanged herself inexplicably, if there is no connection between the two, the sharp-minded Emperor Zhou is really hard to believe.

Of course, he was even more reluctant to believe that Concubine Jing's death was related to Empress Zhao.

Therefore, he could only comfort himself again and again in his heart, if Empress Zhao really wanted to kill Concubine Jing in order to conceal the secret, she should have taken action when she was imprisoned in the Nine Shadows Terrace, and would not keep this threat to delay until now.

Thinking like this, Emperor Zhou's tense and stern face eased slightly, but the lingering feeling of depression in his heart was still like a cold and hard boulder, pressing extremely heavy on his heart, making him unable to relax for a moment.

Obviously, he desperately wants to dispel the doubts in his heart as soon as possible, but he is worried that when the truth comes out, it will be the last thing he wants to see.

As for the ministers in the court who support and depend on the crown prince, the prince is still guilty now, and the position of the prince is already in jeopardy. Now, coupled with this demagogic rumor, it seems that the building is about to collapse.

At this time, in the Cheng Mansion, Cheng Yan looked at the secret letter sent by Empress Zhao, and his eyes frowned deeply, as if he had expected it a long time ago

It was as if there was such a catastrophe, and I didn't feel too much of a surprise.

Although this rumor came suddenly, Cheng Yan felt that everything was by no means so simple.

is not only the rumor-mongers, but also Queen Zhao who was pushed to the forefront.

From a long time ago, he had a faint feeling that there seemed to be a major secret hidden in the heart of this woman who crisscrossed the harem.

As a person with secrets, this is probably a special intuition under the appearance of similarity, right?

Since Cheng Yu's incident, although Cheng Yan has not directly expressed his attitude, he has not been in direct contact with Empress Zhao and the crown prince for a long time. Last time, the prince was almost deposed by Emperor Zhou in the imperial study, and it stands to reason that he, as an important minister of the court who secretly supported the prince, should come forward to intercede and turn the tide.

But at that time, Cheng Yan hoped that Empress Zhao would lose power, the crown prince would be deposed, and the East Palace, which had been tense for many years, would change hands from then on.

In this way, he no longer has to be restrained by this selfish mother and son, and risks being used as an abandoned pawn at any time to clear the threats on the road to the prince for him.

This is too risky, especially when I think that the crown prince is likely to abandon him after he ascends the throne, and I feel even more unworthy.

If he chose to support the crown prince at first, it was because of some unknown tricks and the glorious status of the entire Yasukuni Mansion.

With the passage of time and the chill over what the prince had done, the most that remained later was indignation and helplessness.

If it weren't for Cheng Jinzhi, he might have chosen to turn against each other and assist Gao Heng in dealing with the prince, instead of becoming a "traitor" who is not a person inside and outside like now.

He also knows very well that it is not overnight that he wants to make up for the meanness and indifference to his daughter for so many years.

Whether it was choosing to be in cahoots with the prince at the beginning, or treating the mother and daughter of the Qin family and Cheng Jinzhi.......

There are some things that you may have really done wrong in the first place.

However, what he didn't know was that his intentions that he had tried to hide for many years had already been clearly seen, and at the same time, he had become a pawn in Gao Heng's scheme.

"Someone, prepare the car. ”

Thinking of this, I saw Cheng Yan take a deep breath, quickly put away the secret letter and threw it into the brazier next to several cases, looking at the front and jumping in front of him

The flames of the flame were slightly condensed, as if they smelled the breath of danger.

After a moment of silence, he withdrew his gaze from the brazier and rose to prepare to leave the study.

"Master, where are you going at this time? I was still trying to discuss with you about Xiuning's girl's marriage. ”

Just as Cheng Yan had just stepped out of the threshold, he saw Zhang walking over worriedly, and it seemed that there was something important. "I'm going to come back tomorrow, and you'll take good care of this house. ”

Cheng Yan glanced at Zhang indifferently, and seemed to be a little disapprehensive of her worries.

"At this time, you don't know what is most important. Since it is a marriage approved by His Majesty, and His Royal Highness the King of Jin is the prince, the Ministry of Rites has its own arrangements, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

"Sir, you misunderstood, that's not what I meant. ”

Hearing this, Zhang slapped his hands a little excitedly, and after looking around vigilantly to confirm that it was no different, he approached Cheng Yan with a stern look in his eyes and lowered his voice.

"Everyone outside knows that His Royal Highness King Jin and His Royal Highness King Yan are the closest, we have a total of three daughters, and now one is married to King Yan and becomes Princess Yan, and the other is about to become Princess Jin. I'm getting more and more worried, Your Majesty has always hated party strife the most, will all this be... Could it be a trap set by him to take the opportunity to eliminate the henchmen of the DPRK?"

Although Zhang is a woman, she is not as short-sighted as ordinary women, but has her own foresight and thinking about the world.

Her words were particularly serious and serious, obviously after careful consideration, and indeed for the future of the entire Cheng family.

Because full of memories to hang on

The matter of the prince,
