Chapter 65: Merlin's Thrill

"Zhaozheng, you're just in time, I want to talk to you. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

When the queen on the phoenix couch heard this, she watched him get up and walk out in surprise, and the queen mother saw that the queen's eyes always fell on the distant back, and she couldn't help but laugh and said: "Queen, you see that the emperor has come to see you today, you have to seize the opportunity, it's time to prepare for the dragon heir, you don't understand the truth that the mother is precious to the son." ”

Speaking of the dragon heir, the queen lowered her head a little embarrassed, and muttered: "I know, Queen Mother, this matter is urgent and urgent." ”

"If Concubine Shu gets pregnant first, it won't be good, you have to know that the emperor must spoil the first child to the limit, this is not your business alone." The Queen Mother patted her hands, and suddenly raised her voice and said, "Eh, how did I forget the Baizi Pill that Wu Guo paid tribute to, it was a good thing to be pregnant." ”

Feng Jiu, who had been standing quietly on the side, saw that the Queen Mother was about to get up, so he hurriedly bowed and said, "Let Feng Jiu go and get it." ”

The Queen Mother bowed slightly, with a satisfied smile on her face, Feng Jiu came out of the Jiaojing Palace, and poked her head to look around, and saw that there was no one around, and she couldn't help but be surprised, she obviously saw the emperor and the four princes walking this way.

After taking two more steps, the sound of squirming conversation came through a small plum blossom forest, Feng Jiu cautiously got into the plum blossom forest, and only after walking a few steps saw the emperor walking here, and hurriedly hid behind the half-man-high dry reef on the side.

"It is indeed doubtful that those assassins died violently at the same time, but it is a bit far-fetched for you to say that Li Wen is suspicious, I am clear about Uncle Jiuwang's loyalty to me, and Li Wen has no motive to assassinate me."

"Isn't it coincidental that the Assassin died just after Li Wen appeared there? Brother Huang, don't forget, Li Wen is the son of Liu Yan, the general of Southern Chu, and it is hard to guarantee that he has no thoughts of avenging his father in his heart! ”

Li Jingyao took two steps, suddenly paused and turned his head and asked, "Then tell me, what did you do in Dali Temple yesterday?" ”

The fourth prince was choked by his words, scratched the itchy wound, and said with burning words: "It is impossible for the imperial brother to suspect me, we are brothers of the same mother, and my loyalty to the imperial brother is unmatched." ”

"You said that you were unwell and couldn't enter the palace to participate in the celebration, why did you go to Dali Temple in a blink of an eye? If you don't explain it clearly to me, it's hard to guarantee that Zhao Tianshu won't find out about you. Li Jingyao didn't eat his set, and asked forcefully.

"Don't hide it from the emperor, such a big thing happened, of course I thought about going to Dali Temple to inquire, who would have thought that it would be so unlucky, and before I could find out anything, the person died."

"Let's click", the sound of the dead branch stepping on suddenly came, and the fourth prince's heart tightened, and he immediately asked sharply: "Who is it?" Come out to this king! ”

Feng Jiu heard the footsteps of the fourth prince getting closer and closer to the dry reef, and her heart beat like a drum, and she shrank her feet in fear, although it was useless.

The footsteps became clearer and clearer, and Feng Jiu had even seen the figure cast next to the dry reef, closing his eyes in some despair, holding the dagger in his hand, and even secretly thinking that it was a big deal to gamble with his life.

"It's me."

Li Chu's warm voice suddenly drifted into the plum blossom forest, and just listening to it calmed people down, and the dissatisfied voice of the fourth prince came immediately, "You are so bold, you dare to eavesdrop on me and the imperial brother here!" ”

"Why did I eavesdrop, it was Xiao Zhizi who told me that the emperor was in the plum blossom forest, how do I know that the fourth prince is here?" The four princes of the Li Chu Dynasty smiled slyly, and his eyes were rarely mischievous.

The fourth prince obviously refused to listen to his explanation, and he had to say a few words, when Li Jingyao suddenly pressed his shoulder and said, "I asked the Chaozong to come." ”

Li Chu nodded, retracted his hand into his sleeve, and looked like he was waiting for the idlers to leave, which made the fourth prince very dissatisfied, and reprimanded: "Look at you, what do you look like?" Why don't you salute when you see this king? ”

Without waiting for Lychu to speak, Li Jingyao half comforted and half ordered: "Okay, don't worry about these etiquettes with him, the queen mother has been worried about your sadness for a long time, you go over and let her take a look." ”

The fourth prince looked very funny, and he blamed Li Jingyao for being so partial to Li Chu, but he had no choice but to walk away with resentment.

"Your Majesty ......" Li Chu saw him leave, so he bowed unhurriedly.

Li Jingyao nodded slightly, and asked the same question as Zhao Tianshu and Li Xun, "What clues do you have about the assassin's violent death yesterday?" ”

"Clues?" Li Chu shook his head and wondered, "The punishment in Dali Temple is very bearable, and those people are greedy for merit, and in order to pry open the prisoner's mouth, they often use death tricks, and it is not uncommon to die there." ”

"But Li Wen and the fourth brother suddenly appeared there, do you think it's a coincidence?" Li Jingyao said the doubts in his heart.

Li Chu raised his eyes to meet Li Jingyao's gaze, and said in a calm tone: "It won't be a coincidence. ”

"Oh? What do you mean......"

"They appeared there, probably to inquire about the news, to kill a few prisoners out of thin air, but I'm afraid they can't do it, presumably the emperor should have heard about it, none of them had contact with the prisoner before he died." Lichu is justified and well-founded.

Li Jingyao glanced at Li Chu and reminded: "Why do they need to do it themselves, it's not difficult to buy a few jailers at will, Zhao Tianshu has already ordered someone to examine the body, and he was poisoned to death." ”

Li Jingyao saw him frowning and thinking deeply, and added, "Li Wen has never liked to be associated with the affairs of the government and politics, and has nothing to do every day, but now he suddenly came to inquire about these things, which really makes people have to doubt." ”

"If I say this, the emperor will definitely think that I am targeting the fourth prince, but I still have to say it." Li Chu's face was solemn, and his tone was even more serious, "According to my understanding of Liu Wenlu, he is just an impulsive straw bag, if he has a heart of revenge, he will definitely not believe in words such as ten years is not too late." If he and the four princes appear in Dali Temple at the same time, Bao Buqi is a chess piece thrown by the four princes, a chess piece that wants to cover up. ”

Li Jingyao looked at him steadily, looked at him for a long time before shaking his head and said, "Since you have this suspicion for a long time, why didn't you say it at the beginning?" What are you afraid of? ”

"I just don't want to give the fourth prince a false charge without evidence." Li Chu lowered his eyes and was serious.

Li Jingyao recalled that the fourth prince bit Li Wen and did not let go, and the scales in his heart naturally deviated from Li Chu's guess, the fourth prince was indeed the younger brother of his mother's compatriots, but ...... He can also do it for himself, will the ministers still be able to resist, isn't this world still the world of the Li family?

"Your Majesty, Li Chu has a reluctant request." Li Chu suddenly bowed, and there was a tendency to not get up if he didn't agree.

Li Jingyao didn't have time to think about it, so he said briskly: "You said, if I agree, I will answer you." ”

"I want to take Feng Jiu out of the palace and take her home."

Li Chu's tone was calm, and there was a sense of righteousness, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing, of course, in Li Jingyao's opinion, this is indeed a very ordinary thing.

"This ...... You shouldn't ask me, right? Feng Jiu is willing to go back with you, so naturally he will go back with you, and you tell me that I still force Feng Jiu to leave the palace? ”

Li Chu looked up at Li Jingyao very seriously and said, "I am afraid that the Queen Mother will not let go, so I want to ask the emperor to ...... for Li Chu in the Queen Mother."

Li Jingyao laughed when he heard this, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, if you are afraid of offending your mother, let me be this wicked person, it is really your style." Yes, I promise you, I will go and ask the queen mother now. ”

The person behind the dry reef couldn't tell what mood it was, and since the failure of the assassination, her brain has been like a paste, and she often can't think, but her body is like a spinning top, and she is so anxious that she can't do it.

Listening to the footsteps of the two of them, Feng Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and sat down under the dry reef, but the breath in his heart never let go.
