Leng Yue silently thought about the information she had collected about the queen, and only replied after a while, "The slave maid thinks that she is an amazing woman. ”

According to the information of the investigation, the saint can sit on the throne today, and the queen of the main palace in the Fengqi Palace can make a lot of efforts.

According to the investigation, the queen's strategy, mentality, and appearance are all unique in Southern Chu.

Mu Xiaofeng turned his head to look at her and smiled, "Now, do you still need to ask me the answer?" ”

Leng Yue was silent in her heart, looking at her, there was no doubt in her eyes.

The people who were looking forward to the prince's bad luck were all secretly looking forward to Emperor Chu making a decision as soon as possible.

However, in less than two days, one day, after the Empress went to see the Emperor in person and had a secret conversation for half an hour, things suddenly took a turn for the worse.

First, a steward of the prince's mansion came out and pleaded guilty, saying that he guessed the meaning of the wrong master and sent the wrong message; Then the warden, who was in charge of guarding the condemned prisoners, came out and confessed his guilt, and it was he who mistakenly tried to curry favor with the prince in an inappropriate way.

As for the fact that non-death row prisoners were secretly sent to the hunting ground as death row prisoners, and as wild beasts were hunted by the prince, this was again a serious result of the dereliction of duty and indiscriminate use of the prison warden's subordinates.

Round after round of behind-the-scenes promoters rushed to come out and confess, completely removing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from the hat of active crime.

The prince was at fault, but his mistake was only to be deceived by his subordinates, who shot the prisoner in the hunting ground as a wild beast.

As soon as such a subversive change came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the capital, and some people were disappointed, some were surprised, and some people expected it.

When His Royal Highness Li Wang got the news in his mansion study, except for a slight increase in his eyebrows, he didn't have any other fluctuating emotions, and he seemed to have forgotten that Leng Gang was still standing in front waiting for his instructions.

"Hmm," Chu Lige replied coldly, then gently turned the book in his hand over another page, and continued to read intently without raising his head.

After a while, he probably felt that his facial paralysis guard was standing in front of him to obstruct his eyes and block the light, so he said lightly, "Let me go." ”

Leng Gang was entangled for a long time, waiting for his next move to instruct him, but who knew that the result was waiting for the word "let let" that he disliked, his straight waist was weak, and he almost staggered backwards.

Leng Gang wanted to open his mouth to remind him, but when he looked at his master's posture of reading with his eyes down indifferently, he swallowed his saliva and swallowed back the words on the tip of his tongue by the way.

The master has always planned a decisive battle, and there must be other arrangements that he doesn't know, so he still shouldn't talk too much to annoy people.

In the Mufu Fenglin Curry, Leng Yue looked at the purple-clothed girl who suddenly started embroidering on a whim under the pavilion, and she was also slightly surprised.

"What? It's strange that things about the prince have taken such a turn? Mu Xiaofeng didn't look up, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw Leng Yue standing not far away and hesitating, so she understood her thoughts.

Seeing that she took the initiative to mention it, Leng Yue naturally refused to let go of the opportunity for this young lady to solve her doubts, and walked over almost with undisguised eagerness.

His eyes were burning with anticipation, and he looked at Mu Xiaofeng fixedly, "Miss? ”

Mu Xiaofeng felt funny when she saw her showing a strong desire for knowledge. However, she raised her eyebrows, and did not give a direct answer, but smiled, "Have you forgotten that the prince has a powerful queen mother?" ”

Leng Yue let out a low "ah", and then showed a suddenly realized look, "What does Miss mean that all the people who stand up and take the initiative to take the blame are the queen's behind-the-scenes actions?" ”

Mu Xiaofeng was silent for a while, his bright and shining eyes were full of suspicion in deep thought, "I guess this can't be wrong." ”

However, in the actual situation, she estimated that there should be something else.

This secret promoter, if her estimate is good, she will naturally see when the emperor's disposition of the crown prince comes out.

Listening to her analysis, Leng Yue's originally bright expression gradually became confused again.

"Miss, isn't there a way to deal with the people who set up this game?"

Mu Xiaofeng glanced at Leng Yue, who had a vague look of regret in his eyebrows, lowered his head and smiled meaningfully, "Leng Yue, you should actually ask him instead of me." ”

"Him?" Leng Yue's eyes were dazed for a while, and when she saw the girl's shallow smile and groaning, as if she had already understood everything, her heart was excited, and she hurriedly stood up and confessed nervously to the girl, "Miss, the slave maid has no ......"

"Leng Yue," Mu Xiaofeng put down the needle and thread in her hand, raised her eyes and looked at her seriously, "I didn't stop you from contacting your brother, and I didn't doubt your intentions." This is ...... Well, I know it in my heart. ”

Such a ferocious person who made trouble for the prince, Mu Xiaofeng felt that although there was never a clear message that it was that person, she knew very well in her heart who did it.

There was a vague and bold guess in her heart, and when she thought of that thought, she faintly felt warm in her heart, as if there was a faint joy quietly born in her heart.

With someone like him, would he easily let go of the prince?

Unless he has nothing to do, or the sun suddenly comes out in the west.

No matter how people from all walks of life speculated about this matter, when Lord Yao, the Governor of the Nine Gates, replayed the evidence and testimony to Emperor Chu, Emperor Chu gave him a deep look that he couldn't see through but couldn't stop speculating.

In the morning of the next day, His Royal Highness the Prince, who had not appeared for a long time, also stood in the hall in a proper manner.

When the hour came, the emperor slowly entered. When he walked towards the golden dragon throne, which symbolized the highest place of imperial power, his dark and deep eyes seemed to be like a cold sword light that invisibly swept over Lord Yao, the commander of the Nine Gates, and seemed to stay on the face of the prince standing in front of the ministers for a moment.

"Everyone, Aiqing," Emperor Chu sat on the dragon chair, and his deep eyes slowly swept over the heads of the ministers in the main hall, "The matter of gathering people outside the palace gate some time ago has been repeatedly investigated by Lord Yao, and now there are results. ”

Speaking of this, the most nervous person in the hall is the prince.

Emperor Chu's voice was silent, and he almost didn't dare to breathe.

"In this matter, several of the most evil people indiscriminately killed innocent people, causing extremely bad consequences, and the people are outraged by not being punished with capital punishment."

Capital punishment, the law of the Southern Chu Dynasty, the most severe is a thousand cuts.

Lord Yao's heart trembled, and he subconsciously quietly raised the corner of his eyes and swept the prince.

The prince's face didn't seem to be good, and his face under the tightly wrinkled brows was pale and miserable.

When Lord Yao's eyes swept away, he seemed to see his legs and feet trembling slightly.

"However, the problems exposed by this incident are far more than that, so I will not comment on them one by one."

The ministers lowered their heads and listened to his majestic and loud voice echoing in the main hall with trembling trembling, and many people silently thought in their hearts that they had something to do with this matter. If there is, you have to think about it quickly.

"As for the prince in this matter......"

As soon as Emperor Chu's majestic voice paused, his gaze slowly swept over the heads of the ministers, and when he condensed on the prince, the prince couldn't help but feel excited, and his heart tightened at the same time, his legs softened.

Lord Yao and the crown prince were almost the same as holding their breath and waiting for Emperor Chu's disposition of the prince to fall, and just when Emperor Chu's cold and coercive gaze was like an invisible blade slashing over his head, these two, one of them trembled and his legs were weak, and the other was drenched in cold sweat behind his back.

"Crown Prince......" Emperor Chu created enough imperial oppression momentum on his ministers, so he slowly spoke, but he just said these two words, and he couldn't say any more.

Because of the sudden "crackling, booming" sound above his head, which forcibly interrupted his cold and majestic voice, the imperial power momentum he had just created was even more prosperous because of the loud noise above his head.

All the ministers in the hall were shocked, and quietly looked out of the window with their eyes lowered.

Emperor Chu frowned, and glanced sideways at the close eunuch who was waiting for him, "Little Congzi, go out and see what happened?" ”

The eunuch Xiao Congzi quietly retreated from the back side hall, but he didn't wait for him to come back to report, when he saw Lord Qintianjian Ruan hurriedly entering from the main entrance of the main hall with an ugly face.

"Your Majesty," Lord Ruan stood in the middle of the main hall and bowed humbly to Emperor Chu with a solemn face in the middle of the high seat, "The place where the thunder and lightning fell just now is where the imperial tomb in the southwest is located. ”

Emperor Chu's eyebrows jumped suddenly, and his fierce gaze shot at Ruan Sijie, staring straight at Ruan Sijie's forehead like raindrops, and all the ministers were trembling in this boundless silence, so frightened that they didn't even dare to breathe.

Just listening to the sound of his sweat dripping was infinitely amplified by this empty hall, like a thunderstorm in his heart, Ruan Sijie was uncomfortable, they were under the pressure of this emperor's momentum, and their hearts were not comfortable.

After a while, Emperor Chu retracted his gaze, waved his sleeves indifferently, and said, "Retreat." ”

The domineering power of the emperor subsided, and the ministers felt that they were slowly coming back to life.

After Emperor Chu announced his retirement from the dynasty, countless eyes of unknown meaning quietly and quietly looked at the prince with a pale face.

Just when His Majesty was about to issue an order to loosen his mouth and dispose of the prince leniently, thunder and lightning suddenly thundered down on the imperial tomb - the matter of the prince was hanging.

When this kind of thing happened, most of the civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty associated this incident with the level of the heavens' warning.

At this critical moment, thunder and lightning suddenly fall, it must be that the heavens are dissatisfied with someone before the thunder and lightning will be sent down.

The person who can make God dissatisfied - except for the Son of Heaven, of course, is the future Son of Heaven.

When he left the main hall, the prince's footsteps were staggering and erratic, and his handsome face was like the sky above his head, sometimes pale and sometimes gloomy, but it had not turned clear.

At this time, His Royal Highness Liwang, who had never participated in court politics, was willfully and indifferently playing against himself in the quiet pavilion in his mansion.

Zhang Huazheng stood between the two pillars in the middle of the pavilion, bowing his head respectfully, "Master, the heavens warn, Your Majesty dispersed in advance." ”

The wide moire brocade sleeves raised by the man in the brocade robe inside the pavilion seemed to be slightly condensed, and the corners of his eyes seemed to be slightly drooping under the feathers, as if a trace of cold light flowed out in an instant.

Immediately, he casually put the white child twisted between his fingers on the chessboard.

Zhang Hua glanced at the corners of his lips that seemed to be smiling, and rolled his eyes strangely, "Master, Xiaobai's favorite food was just delivered to the mansion yesterday. ”

Could he go and visit the little fox? By the way, I showed my mouth to Miss Mu or something.

The master is doing so many things behind his back, all in order to be angry for that girl.

If you pay something, you don't expect anything in return, but it shouldn't hurt to let the girl know, right?

Chu Lige's thin lips were pursed, and he didn't speak, only raised his head slightly and glanced at him lightly. Then, the slender but bony jade-white fingers seemed to shake towards him.

The kind grin on Zhang Huayuan's face immediately froze, and he immediately lowered his head slightly with remorse, "Yes, my subordinates know their mistakes." ”

With this kind of intelligence, he wants to play tricks in front of his master, which is purely looking for death.

"My subordinates are going to think about it." After a day of locking up the dark room, the bones in his body should have hurt for several days.

Zhang Hua bowed his hand respectfully, turned around and retreated.

Chu Lige dropped the last chess piece, and then raised his head and silently looked in the southwest direction - that was where the imperial tomb was located.

There seemed to be starlight flashing under his deep eyes, and the slightly curved corners of his lips loomed with sarcasm.

Thinking that by pushing a few ghosts out for the dead, you can get out easily and nothing?

Chu Yuchen, if he dares to provoke her, he should have the courage to bear the consequences of provoking her.

Zhang Hua came out of the dark room again a day later.

This day was enough time for Emperor Chu to understand the extent of damage caused to the imperial tomb by the thunder and lightning that fell in the southwest, and what caused this result.

Astronomical divination is the way of ghosts and gods, these things are naturally Qin Tianjian's old business.

Yesterday's sudden thunder and lightning damaged part of the outer wall of the Imperial Mausoleum, and the main mausoleum complex was not affected much.

The result of the damage was presented to the desk in the imperial study, and Emperor Chu flipped it over casually and pulled it aside.

If the damaged part of the wall is repaired, just pull out some silver and repair it again.

But if the cause and effect are not explored clearly, this is an invisible boulder.

pressed on Emperor Chu's heart, heavy or light. But in the hearts of the common people, it is fear and fear.

Heaven warns that either the Son of Heaven is unkind or the Son of Heaven is immoral.

Either way, for the common people, it is a source of anxiety.

Emperor Chu pinched his eyebrows, and the dim light made his gloomy and majestic face look even more cold and cruel.

He frowned, his cold and sharp gaze wandered through a pile of twists and turns, and he quickly picked out the one sent by Qin Tianjian.

Open it casually, the neat handwriting on the fold still has a faint ink fragrance, and Emperor Chu's eyes fell on the smooth font on it, and his brows tightened by two points.

“…… It is an indisputable fact that the prince was unintentional and mistakenly shot human life as a wild beast. Although there are those who are extremely vicious and deserved, there are also innocent lives who are wholeheartedly good, and it is against heaven and peace to entertain themselves and hurt innocents. Therefore, God warns, warning virtues and good deeds, the blessing of the people, the blessing of Southern Chu, and the blessing of heaven! ”

Emperor Chu threw the fold aside, hooked his angular and cold lips and snorted coldly.

"A good one hurts the heavens, a good one is virtuous, and a good one is a blessing of Nanchu!"

He squinted, the light of his cold eyes flowed faintly from the tips of his eyebrows, and a deep voice faintly floated out from under the corners of his thin lips at the same time, "Prince......"
