Yan Xiye frowned slightly, thinking.

The Empress Dowager, who was sitting on the side, was also stunned.

Xing Fu lowered his head and didn't look at the two of them, but his back straightened up.

"Zuo Qiyang? What happened to him? ”

The Empress Dowager looked at Xing Fu and asked, her eyes full of confusion.

Xing Fu secretly pinched a handful of sweat, thinking in his heart that Emperor Yan had really blocked the news, but even the Empress Dowager and the crown prince had kept it secret.

It's no wonder that Xin Zi was in a hurry to let herself send a wrench, but she used this as an excuse to seek protection. As Xin Zi said, or what the prince needs at this time is just a reminder, stop at the point, and then take the initiative in his own hands, as for whether Yan Xiye can recognize the situation and choose which side to stand on, this is their Yan family's housework, as a foreign country or even a foreign race, the wisest thing to do at this time is to watch from the wall.

Thinking of this, Xing Fu faintly appreciated Xin Zi a little more, and was a little glad that although he didn't dare to agree before, he still did according to her advice.

At this time, since the Empress Dowager asked, Xing Fu simply told what he knew, which naturally skipped the role played by Xin Zi in this matter.

The Empress Dowager listened carefully to Xing Fu's words, and then looked at Yan Xiye with a shocked expression.

The prince's face was pale at this time, and his hand on the table was tightly clenched into a fist, and a question was squeezed out from between his teeth: "When did this happen?" ”

Xing Fu said truthfully: "Zuo Qiyang was transferred to Gaoxiang about ten days ago. ”

Seeing her grandson's anger, the Empress Dowager sighed lightly, and was afraid that he would be impulsive, so she spoke: "Don't make conclusions about this matter so quickly, but also think about it in the long run, and find it out from the beginning." The emperor can transfer people out under the noses of you and the mourning family, but we haven't noticed the slightest rumor for so long, it can be seen that he has the intention to hide it from the beginning, otherwise the east and west palaces will break the bones and tendons like this, and it will be impossible to completely bypass us. If this is the case, then I am afraid that the emperor also has his own difficulties, and he needs to investigate what is going on behind this before making a decision. ”

The Empress Dowager's words were conclusive, and Yan Xiye had to suppress the anger that was originally blocked in his heart when he heard it.

Xing Fu listened and admired in his heart, the Empress Dowager Xiyou is really worthy of being a person who has gone through strong winds and waves, and this ability to deal with chaos alone is a hundred times stronger than most princes and nobles. That's fine, if they are willing to start from the beginning, they will naturally know better why Emperor Yan kept the entire West Palace in the dark, if so, the two still feel that they dare not agree, then they are firmly on the opposite side of Emperor Yan, so Xin Zi has a better chance of winning.

On this side, Xing Fu summed up in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more satisfied he was with the reaction of the two in front of him. On the other hand, Yan Xiye felt an unprecedented fear of his father in his heart.

The crown prince and Emperor Yan have always been estranged, which has long been an indisputable fact. But this estrangement has been going on for a long time, and the court and the central government have long been surprised, and they saw that the emperor and the crown prince have gradually become accustomed to such a father-son relationship.

But more than a month ago, Emperor Yan suddenly transferred troops to be stationed on the outskirts of Xijing, and at that time, Yan Xiye was already faintly suspicious, but this sign was suppressed by him. After all, his father was the king of a country, and it was only natural for him to transfer troops to strengthen the defense of the capital, and it was understandable that he was unwilling to reveal his actions to the prince who had not yet ruled the country.

Therefore, Emperor Yan didn't say anything, the prince simply pretended to be deaf and dumb, but he faintly hoped that one day, maybe when the time was right, his father would be willing to share the policy of governing the country with him, so that he could help share the burden on the shoulders of the emperor.

But now the situation he hoped for did not appear, but he got a slap in the face.

Father's ...... What exactly was he thinking?

Although Zuo Qiyang is said to be a guard in front of the emperor, the emperor does not need to go through the West Palace to punish the people around him. But who in this palace doesn't know that Zuo Qiyang has a close relationship with the Queen Mother? Most people even acquiesced that Zuo Qiyang was the empress dowager, but he just hung up a false position in front of the emperor.

Now the emperor has quietly dealt with Zuo Qiyang, so that Xigong and himself have not received any news.

And what made him even more chilling was that he actually learned about this matter from Xing Fu's mouth.

Xing Fu is Xin Zi's person.

Although Xing Fu tried his best to avoid involving Xin Zi in the exposition just now, he didn't realize that from the moment he entered the palace with the jade wrench he gave to Xin Zi to ask for a meeting, Xin Zi's key role in this matter had already been exposed.

First, his father tried his best to hide from the emperor's grandmother and himself secretly sent troops into Beijing, and then secretly sent Zuo Qiyang out of the palace, and then Xing Fu took Xin Zi's entrustment to beg him to help Zuo Qiyang get out of trouble...... These fragments all point to an answer in the end - the father is jealous of Xin Zi and tries to keep her out.

But what is it that makes the king of a country so afraid of a powerless little girl? Reminiscent of the recent reshuffle on the side of the Dongyuan Imperial Court...... Yan Xiye only felt a chill in his heart, cold from his head to his feet, and didn't dare to think about it anymore.

He even hoped that all this was his own worry, and that his father had other troubles - otherwise, he was afraid that he would finally take the side of the imperial grandmother, and their father-son friendship would be in jeopardy.

The position of the crown prince has never been the most cherished one for him. Even at worst, he was stripped of the crown prince, and for him, it was just a change of life.

But as the eldest son, he didn't want to lose his father. Like most children from ordinary families, he also grew up in reverence for his father, even if the original majestic figure collapsed little by little, he was always his father, filial piety was the head, he was afraid that he would really fall out with the emperor, and in the end he fell to the point where even father and son could not do it.

Seeing that Yan Xiye was silent, the Empress Dowager's face became worse and worse, she reached out and patted the back of his hand, and said softly: "I will find a way to find out about the emperor's affairs as soon as possible in these two days, you relax first, don't think too much." ”

Hearing this, Yan Xiye smiled weakly.

The Empress Dowager wants to protect herself first, right? After all, it involves the father, if it is found out that there is really a problem, it is just that, if it is just a snake shadow on his side, as the prince secretly investigates his father like this, it is unreasonable to be reasonable.

The imperial grandmother wants to take all the responsibility and possible consequences on herself.

Thinking of this, Yan Xiye threw a grateful glance at the imperial grandmother, shook the old man's somewhat dry hand with his backhand, and said in a low voice: "Don't bother the imperial grandmother, the grandson will do it himself." (To be continued.) )
