This morning, there was a commotion in the Xuanshu Palace.

Yesterday, Suzhou weaving rebelled, and the night banquet party actually put the prince under house arrest. When Jin Wu arrived, Lord Xu was about to tie up the prince to give an explanation to the people of Suzhou, and he also said that he would do the right thing for heaven.

Jin Wu was ordered to protect the safety of the crown prince, and he would not act easily until he had to. Unexpectedly, when Jin Wu and Lord Xu asked for the forbidden prince, during the entanglement, Lord Xu actually killed two Jin Wu right guards.

One stone stirs up a thousand layers of Lang. In desperation, Jin Wuwei forcibly searched the mansion and unexpectedly unearthed evidence that he accepted bribes and deliberately spread rumors about the prince. As a result, Xu Men deliberately rebelled and was convicted of the following crimes, and Xu Daren jumped over the wall and set fire to Xu's mansion, and Xu's family was buried in flames overnight.

"Your Majesty! The Xu family is a great rebel, and such a bold and reckless act must be instigated by others! The crown prince is related to the society and the country, and he cannot be coveted by others!"

"What King Gongyi said is all based on speculation, and now that there is no proof of his death, how can he know that the Xu family was instructed by someone! I think it is all a good show made by his General Jinwu!"

"Lord Zhang, why are you spewing blood without evidence! I, the Jinwu Forbidden Army, am loyal to the Lord, and I absolutely cannot accept such filth from you!"

"You!"

“……”

"Presumptuous!" the emperor scolded, shaking through the entire Jinluan Treasure Palace.

The courtiers were shocked, and they all knelt on the ground, and the tense atmosphere in the Xuanshu Hall suddenly fell into a dead silence.

……

A sedan chair was parked in an inconspicuous corner outside the hall, and I sat inside and watched everything coldly.

"What a death without proof, what a Jinwu general!" Shen Zhan sat opposite me and sneered, "You really found a powerful husband." ”

I turned the rosary in my hand and said lightly: "A Hongmen banquet triggered a war in the court, and Lord Xu died unjustly." ”

Shen Zhan was stunned for a moment and asked, "You used the prince as a puppet to slander the Xiao family, but to help him?"

I glanced at Shen Zhan and said, "I do things in my own way, not so much to help him, but for myself." ”

Shen Zhan looked at me for a long time, but said, "I really can't see through you." ”

Who in this world can see himself clearly? I turned the rosary in my hand, did not speak, and sat quietly with my eyes closed.

After a long time, he finally asked, "What are you looking for me for today?"

"I need Yan Guo's help, Shen Zhan. ”

The bell of the Xuanji Pagoda rang in the morning, and the sound of "boom-" hit the hearts of people.

I opened my eyes and looked at Shen Zhan calmly. There were no roundabout words, no orders, no requests, as if I had just said something very common.

He pursed his lips and met my eyes. A peerless face under the crow's sideburns was covered with gloom, and a storm seemed to be brewing in his long narrow eyes.

"The princess lifts up, but she looks at a prince who is far away in the fiefdom. ”

I looked at him and said, "Now that the show has just begun, the prince is afraid that he doesn't want to miss it?"

His eyes lit up, but a smile appeared on his cold face: "How do you say this?"

I changed my conversation: "Why don't you make a bet with me?"

"What's the gamble?"

"For a period of three months, if the crown prince is completely deposed within three months, I will win; if there is no movement in three months, Gao Jingluan is still sitting in the East Palace, I will lose. ”

He asked, "You have taken such great pains to raise a puppet, why do you have to expect him to become a waste again?"

"It's easy to nurture him, but it's hard to help him hold that position. Now that the Yuwen clan and the Xiao clan have provoked a fire, they naturally need the prince to extinguish it. What's more, you say that he is a waste, and when the time comes, it is natural to let him play a little more role, and it will not be in vain for him to live for so many years. ”

"What's the difference between winning and losing?"

"Becoming a king or defeating a king is a matter of course. If I win, the son of the world will not forget the alliance of today, and he will seek each other in the future. ”

"What if you lose?"

"Lose?" the rosary didn't stop, and my face remained as usual: "The high interest month will never fight a battle without a chance of winning." ”

Shen Zhan was stunned, stared at me for a long time, and his deep pupils seemed to pierce me, and after a while, he said, "You have changed." ”

After a pause in the rosary in my hand, I asked, "How can the me, who the prince knew back then, really me?"

Shen Zhan's gaze froze instantly, and after a while, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, returning to his previous coldness.

"Since the princess is allied with me, what is the sincerity?"

I put down the beads in my hand, smiled at him, and lightly opened my thin lips: "Come here, I'll talk to you......"

On the way back to the Lingxi Palace, I was crooked on the couch, and the trembling sedan chair almost shook me apart.

Passing through Yongxiang, the idle words of several women gathered in one place came into my ears without any difference - "That Chang Jieyu of Zhaoyang Palace, since her canonization, has been favored every day...... She has climbed the high branch of the concubine Niangniang, how do I think I don't want to see it......"

"I'm afraid you haven't heard of it, Chang'an City also spread her good story, saying that she is what kind of Laoshizi Guanghan Palace Chang'e Fairy descended to earth, her body is light and can be like Feiyan, and even the national Tianxianglou where she once stayed has now become a blessed land for flying out of the phoenix in rumors!"

"Fairy, she is also worthy! She is full of fox charm, and the emperor hasn't been in my palace for several months......"

"Isn't she just relying on Xiao Guifei's mother's support? What's the big deal, if you want me to see, the Xiao family is plotting against the prince in the previous dynasty, and her good days are coming to an end......"

A few people were talking, not noticing the warm sedan chair passing by their side, I lifted the corner of the shark veil, and found that it was a few nobles who lived in the palace near here, and there was really no way to stop talking.

"Princess, those are the nobles who live in the Chenghui Palace, let's just leave, I'm afraid it's not good......" Sijiu walked to the side of the sedan chair and asked me softly through the curtain.

I opened my mouth and said, "They said that in the middle of the year, wouldn't it be a fool for me to suddenly come out? ”

Sijiu suddenly realized, nodded and walked two steps, and suddenly patted his head and screamed: "Princess, I suddenly remembered something." ”

I was already surprised by Sijiu's fuss, and asked, "What is the matter?"

"The Queen Mother heard a few days ago that you and Your Royal Highness fell off a horse, and she was so angry that she fell ill. Yesterday on your birthday, the Queen Mother's condition worsened, Jinglan didn't let me tell you, but you were worried, affecting your peace of mind. ”

"What did you say?" I scolded, "stop the sedan car!"

"Princess?"

"Turn around and go to Changle Palace!"
