Chapter 499: Seeing Big from Small

As soon as Cheng Xuan's words came out, Cheng Jinzhi's heart also sank, and thousands of troubled and complicated thoughts were born in the depths of his heart.

Although everything is just speculation at present, according to the situation that the crown prince is now punished to guard the tomb in Lishan, has lost the trust of Emperor Zhou, and is haunted by rumors of doubtful background, it is not uncommon for him to have such evil thoughts and evil intentions because he feels the crisis.

In Cheng Jinzhi's opinion, the reason why he and Empress Zhao have been silent for a long time may be brewing this bigger conspiracy.

But for some reason, Cheng Jinzhi always had a hunch in her heart, and things didn't seem to be as simple and clear as she imagined.

And the cause of this premonition, in the final analysis, is because of the word "Nanchu".

This national power, which has been controversial in the past few years, has sprung up and dominated one side, which is really difficult to ignore.

What's more, when Gao Heng investigated the prince's life experience, he happened to involve the king of Chu, who was at odds with Da Zhou and had always been ambitious.

At this moment, her mind unconsciously popped up, the prince wanted to intend to rebel with Nan Chu and the like, shocking words, and the whole person began to become more and more nervous.

After all, Gao Heng was leading his troops at the moment, and in order to deal with this sudden war, almost half of his troops were concentrated in the northwest.

If the prince really wants to rebel against the palace at this time, the person in charge of the military power in the capital is Lin Kang, the general of the right guard who supports the prince, if there is really Nan Chu to assist, it can be said that the time and place are favorable.

In this way, in the case that the far water cannot dissolve the near fire, the position of Emperor Zhou is bound to be in danger, and the wind and rain will be shaky.

But Cheng Jinzhi knew that even if he smelled extremely dangerous at the moment, but in the absence of any ironclad evidence to support him, if he rashly entered the palace to mention this matter to Emperor Zhou, not only would he not gain his trust, but he would even be severely punished for spreading rumors and bullying the king, which was not feasible.

In addition, thinking that there was a princess Yuanxi who was a Chu person by Gao Heng's side at this moment, Cheng Jinzhi's already extremely heavy and anxious mood was cast on a shadow of worry.

Once upon a time, whenever she encountered anything difficult to choose or troubled, she always had Gao Heng by her side to discuss and discuss, and over time, she also invisibly developed a habit and dependence.

At this moment, she wanted to tell Gao Heng, who was far away in the northwest, all these speculations, but at the same time, she was worried that it would affect his mood and make him unwilling to fight, giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of, so that he would fall into a critical situation.

But if everything is really as he expected, himself, Gao Heng, including Emperor Zhou, who is respected as the king of a country, and many others, seem to have become dead chess pieces in the eyes of the evil wolf, and the fate of each game of chess has been determined, and he is under control.

Even if the news cannot be leaked for the time being, at least Gao Heng should be reminded that he must take more precautions against the Chu people and be careful again.

Whether it's Princess Yuanxi next to her, or any other.

Although she knew that Cheng Xuan in front of her was sincere to her sister and was a trustworthy person.

But in such a major event, if you want to find help from one party, trust alone is not enough.

Rather than being scared and cranky on your own, it is wise to find a competent and reliable person to prescribe the right medicine.

After thinking about it carefully, several names gradually emerged in Cheng Jinzhi's heart, and Cen Feng was the first person.

Of course, if it hadn't happened before, the first person she wanted to find was actually Gu Hanqing.

But now, no amount of guilt and feelings are insignificant because of the current reality.

And no matter what the general trend of the world and the future fate of the Great Zhou Jiangshan is, she only knows that she must protect the Yan Wangfu and the peace of all the important people around her.

So, after solemnly instructing Cheng Xuan a few words, Cheng Jinzhi asked him to return to the mansion first, returned to the study to write a letter to his family, and soon ordered someone to send it to the northwest as soon as possible.

After doing this, she still felt uneasy, so she changed into an inconspicuous regular clothes and went directly to the Soul Slaughter Division accompanied by Treading Snow.

At that time, Cen Feng happened to be interrogating the prisoner who had been secretly arrested in the Slaughter Spirit Division, and he was a little surprised to hear that Cheng Jinzhi suddenly came alone.

Cen Feng is a loyal and righteous man, and he has nothing to do with the cunning and treacherous prince, and he has always hoped that Gao Heng will win the throne, which Cheng Jinzhi is almost certain.

What she is worried about is that although she believes in this Cen Changsi, it is difficult to say whether he believes in herself.

Just now, she was in a hurry, and in order to race against time, she moved here without thinking about it under impulse.

But now in the face of Cen Feng, who has a calm face but dark eyes, she is a little dazed for a while, and she doesn't know how to open her mouth to explain her intentions. After all, this also involves Cheng Yan, who has not yet revealed his identity in front of the courtiers, but this layer of gauze cannot be easily torn off at this moment.

After greeting each other like an opening sentence, she didn't say the cause and effect of the incident, but half-jokingly.

"Oh yes, I don't know if Cen Changsi can measure words?"

"Word test?"

Cen Feng didn't expect Cheng Jinzhi to throw out such a strange sentence, and his eyes couldn't help but flash. While he looked surprised, there was a little more interest in his eyes.

"Cen is a good investigator, but when it comes to word measurement, he really just saw others demonstrate such Zhou Yi's skills. But I have to see, what words did Princess Yan say?"

"Okay, it just so happens that I just got four words by chance, but I don't understand the mystery of this after reading it for a long time. I've heard that Cen Changsi is well-known for his knowledge, so I've brought it to you to take a look, hoping to get some guidance and clarification from it. ”

Cheng Jinzhi said unhurriedly, and no longer pretended to be mysterious, but generously took out the two pieces of paper from the bag on his sleeve and put them directly in front of Cen Feng.

Looking at the two pieces of paper in front of him that were slightly burned but dazzling, Cen Feng's expression, which was still slightly interested, suddenly changed, and his anger became solemn and serious.

Although he didn't say anything for the time being, just by the look on his face, Cheng Jinzhi could clearly feel the obvious emotional changes in his heart.

"These four words, princess, you are ......"

"Does Chief Cen want to ask, where did I get it from?"

Cheng Jinzhi had already expected him to ask this, the look in his eyes was still calm and calm, but he deliberately wanted to hide Cheng Yan in his heart, so he smiled meaningfully.

"This person will surface very quickly, so where I get it is not the most important thing. The important thing is, what mystery can Cen Changsi see from these four words?"
