Ah Zi was originally carried out by a few guards with cold faces, but before he could come back to his senses, he was called back by the little eunuch who rushed over out of breath.

Back in the inner room of Duanben Palace, Xin Zi respectfully saluted Emperor Xiyou, but when he raised his head, he saw the prince leaning on the head of the bed, although his face was pale, but he was already awake.

"Your Highness......"

She shouted in a low voice, barely audible.

But the prince, who was lying on the bed with a green face but eyes like a torch, met Ah Zi's gaze, knowing that she was happy because she woke up, and even her own safety at the moment was left behind, and her heart was full of infinite gratitude, but her body couldn't use any strength, so she could only lie in place, nodding slightly at Ah Zi with a smile.

Ah Zi smiled and gently replied.

"You're Xin Zi?"

The emperor's sudden inquiry interrupted the silent communication between Ah Zi and the prince, and Ah Zi still knelt in place, bowed to the emperor again, and then said, "Your Majesty, the people's daughter is Xin Zi." ”

Seeing her use something like "people's girl", the emperor's brows furrowed even deeper, and he said, "Which palace are you from?" Who introduced you to the palace? ”

Although Ah Zi has never had any identity as a duty in the palace, those who may come and go at will in this forbidden palace must have a backer.

"The folk girl was brought in by Lord Zuo Qiyang Zuo, and she came into the palace to serve by the side of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager." Ah Zi replied truthfully.

The emperor was a little confused: "Are you from the emperor's grandmother's side?" Why haven't you heard her mention it from the old man? ”

Obviously, the emperor of Xiyou has a lot of respect for his grandmother, and Ah Zi just moved out of the name of the empress dowager. The emperor's attitude had softened significantly.

The emperor himself is not a natural genius in governing the country, but he is better than recruiting wise men, not afraid of loyalty and disobedience, but also for the empress dowager who has experienced the rise and fall of several dynasties in the West, and knows the old history of the East and the West very much, and it is precisely because of this importance that he did not hesitate to hand over his favorite eldest son to his grandmother to raise, and the original decision now seems to be very wise - the crown prince Yan Xiye already has the style of a general at a young age, although he has not directly participated in the government politics, but the talent of governing the country has been exposed. has already far surpassed himself at the same age.

All this is taught by the Empress Dowager and her old man.

Come to think of it. The emperor's eyes softened a lot when he looked at Ah Zi again.

Wang Qing, who saw all this in his eyes, became anxious, all his chips were bet on the emperor who would suspect that all this was done by Ah Zi because of his suspicious identity, and now Ah Zi just showed that he was the empress dowager, and it was already like he had won a gold medal to avoid death, if he couldn't reverse the situation at this time. I have completely lost the heart of His Royal Highness the Prince. I'm afraid that if I go any further, the emperor won't be on his side. Then there is really only one dead end.

"Your Majesty," he thought of this, risking his knees and taking a step forward. interrupted the conversation between the emperor and Xin Zi and said: "Forgive the slave for talking too much, but the top priority should be to find out the traitor who killed the prince as soon as possible, since the traitor has the ability to harm the prince once, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no second time, as long as the mastermind behind the scenes is not uprooted for a day, His Royal Highness the prince is afraid that he will still be in danger." ”

These words played into the emperor's arms. A person who dares to murder the prince of a country, as the emperor of Xiyou, will not be forgiven, and a person who has plotted against his eldest son, as a father, he cannot forgive.

Such a crime, even if the Empress Dowager and her old man come to persuade her, she will not cover it up.

"Why did you suddenly break into the prince's palace before? Do you know the inside story? Or is there something covertly involved? The Wang Chuanchao you talked about, what is his relationship with you? Why do you, a person from the Sacred Heart Palace, know such a new eunuch who has come to the palace? ”

The emperor asked a series of questions, and stared at Ah Zi tightly: Even if there is no incident, there are too many doubts on this girl, even if the imperial grandmother wants to protect her, she will definitely not show mercy in this matter, and she must deal with it impartially.

After all, now it seems that this matter is very closely related to the detailed work that Dongyuan mixed in, as the monarch of a country, if he does not handle this matter well, or even seems to be a little less firm, he is afraid that he will see the big from the small, and in the negotiations between the two countries, he will appear weak and deceitful.

Ah Zi is far from having many concerns about Emperor Xiyou at this time, although Zuo Qiyang's advice about keeping her away from Duanbengong and Wang Chuanchao still echoes in her mind from time to time, but since she has taken this step, I am afraid that it is impossible to take herself out again.

Thinking of this, she unloaded her original burden, but seemed a lot more relaxed, from the first time she met Wang Chuanchao and saw through the identity of the other party, to when she entered the palace earlier today, she saw Wang Chuanchao's suspicious behavior near the prince's bedroom, and then she broke into Duanben Palace and found the prince's abnormality, rescued people in a panic, and gave them to the emperor one by one.

The emperor stroked his beard and muttered for a while before he said, "You said that you recognized the identity of that Wang Chuanchao Dongyuan soldier a few days ago?" Then why has it been kept secret and not reported, and even dragged on until today, until the prince has an accident, and then he thinks about saving people?

"How do I know that you didn't team up with that Wang Chuanchao to play a play, in fact, you have already conspired, and you knew from the beginning that the prince would be poisoned by him today, but you temporarily changed your mind and wanted to turn against each other, so as to invite credit?"

The emperor's question left Ah Zi speechless.

She couldn't convince others to believe that she didn't have feelings in advance, which was what Zuo Qiyang had always been worried about, and it was precisely because of this that Zuo Qiyang repeatedly told her not to act without permission.

As for why she has been reluctant to tell the Empress Dowager about this matter, it is precisely because Zuo Qiyang has such concerns that she does not want her to interfere.

But she couldn't tell the emperor these words, she was already suspected, how could she drag Zuo Qiyang, a foreigner who was also from Dongyuan, into the water.

Seeing that she just bowed her head and remained silent, the emperor felt that it was more likely that Xin Zi knew in advance and even participated in the murder of the prince, so he waved his hand impatiently and said, "That's it, if you don't want to talk about it now, it's better to send it to the Internal Affairs Office, maybe after someone there mentions something, you will know how to answer." ”

Xin Zi was at a loss when she heard this.

And the prince, who had been silently leaning on the side of the bed and watching all this, was so shocked that he almost jumped up from the bed. (To be continued.) )
