Seeing that the three princes did not answer their words, Emperor Qianwen shook his head lightly without a trace, and lamented in his heart, the eldest prince is gone, and the remaining princes are not people who are greedy for power and power, and the future of this Eastern Qianguo is afraid that it will decline.

The worried gaze swept over Dongfang Du one by one, Dongfang Xu, Dongfang Xuan, and finally fell on Dongfang Xu's body. Among the three, Dongfang Xu was the only one who had ever expressed the slightest idea of wanting the position of prince, coupled with what Empress Song had mentioned in his ear, he felt that maybe Dongfang Xu should be given a chance, otherwise, he could only set up Dongfang Du, the eldest of the three, as the new crown prince according to the ancestral teachings.

Emperor Qianwen was worried above, and several people in the center of the hall were also worried.

Dongfang Du didn't want the throne, but he also knew that he couldn't just leave, so Yu Guang glanced at Dongfang Xu and Dongfang Xuan, thinking about what to do next. Dongfang Xu must not let him become the crown prince, Mo said that he is Dongfang Xi's own brother, even if he does it in secret, he must not be allowed to become the future emperor. Thinking back to the bits and pieces of Dongfang Xuan, it seems that she is the most suitable to be the prince, but one is the youngest, and the other is that she doesn't know what the real Dongfang Xuan is.

People who seem to have a pure temperament and good conduct are often the most hidden bad guys, and Dongfang Xuan is the most benevolent and humble among the princes. If it is really the same as the inside and the outside, it is most suitable for him to be the crown prince, if it is just an illusion, I am afraid that now that he has controlled half of the court, he will be in danger and finally lose his life.

It is difficult to draw skin and tigers, and people's hearts are the most unpredictable.

The hall, which had been silent for a long time, was finally broken by Dongfang Du's words. After thinking about it, Dongfang Du got up and said: "Father, the matter of poisoning was originally handed over to the criminal department and Dali Siqing for investigation, the three-day period is too short, and it is reasonable that there is no investigation result, I implore my father to give them another chance, if they still can't investigate, it's not too late to demote them out of the capital." ”

The words are reasonable and reasonable, and the official level of the squire of the Criminal Department and the secretary of Dali Temple is not low, and they can be regarded as ministers in the court, if they really want to resign, they will not be eliminated from the official rank so quickly, and now they are given another chance, which can just reflect Emperor Qianwen's kindness to the important ministers.

The emperor's grace is vast, and the civil and military officials all repay each other with their bodies, if Zhao Hezhang and Xuan Qiuyu can't investigate again, even if they cut off their heads, others will have nothing to say. Moreover, this time, they will definitely investigate the results, and this is also a good time for the official to be reinstated.

Dongfang Xu's eyebrows were furrowed, he didn't know what Dongfang Du meant by saying this, and when he was thinking about what to get up and say, Dongfang Du continued: "As for the matter of the imperial brother, although Imperial Doctor Chen said that the imperial brother went peacefully, it had nothing to do with the poisoning, but it was inevitable that someone would use some colorless and tasteless poison to poison the imperial brother. ”

Speaking of this, Yu Guang glanced at Dongfang Xu, saw that his hands on his lap trembled slightly, and he knew in his heart, and continued: "Erchen's master has no cliffs, knows all poisons in the world, and is now in the capital. ”

This is just to deceive Dongfang Xu to show his feet, Dongfang Xi has already been buried in the imperial mausoleum, even if Wuyazi knows all kinds of drugs in the world, he has no chance to check in person, and if he doesn't check the situation in person, how can he help them in the matter of drug recognition.

After Dongfang Du finished speaking, Dongfang Xu was really even more nervous. It seems that the culprit of Dongfang Xi's sudden death is really him. I just don't understand, why did Dongfang Xu do such a thing at this time? Even if Dongfang Xi wanted to deal with him, he wouldn't kill his own brother, right? At most, it's just a waste of him. But looking at what Dongfang Xu did, he directly and quietly killed Dongfang Xi.

is the most ruthless imperial family, not to mention half-fathers and half-mothers, even if they are the same father and mother, they will fight each other because of some interests. Dongfang Xi and Dongfang Xu are the best examples.

The expressions and actions of the three of them, Emperor Qianwen, who was sitting above, were naturally clear at a glance. The prince competes for power, and there are many people who kill their fathers and brothers to ascend to the throne. Emperor Qianwen sighed helplessly and said, "Listen to Du'er's words today, let Zhao Hezhang and Xuan Qiuyu continue to investigate the poisoning matter, as well as the Xi'er matter, Master Wuyazi, just assist the two of them." After speaking, he waved his hand and said to them, "Okay, you all go back to your palace first." ”

Emperor Qianwen didn't want to say more, waved a few people away, but when Dongfang Du was about to exit the door, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Du'er, you stay for the time being, don't leave yet." ”

Dongfang Xu and Dongfang Xuan looked at Dongfang Du at the same time, and then turned their heads to look at each other, and they all thought that Emperor Qianwen had left her behind to tell her about the crown prince.

The door of the cultivation hall was closed again, and at this moment, there were only two people in the huge hall, Dongfang Du and Emperor Qianwen. Dongfang Du turned around and walked back to the center of the main hall, arched his hand and asked, "Father, leaving his sons, do you have other things to explain?" There was also a trace of uneasiness in her heart, not because of anything else, but because she killed Darkwind.

If you have a guilty conscience, there is only the matter of abusing and killing the dark wind. But if the dark wind wants to get involved with her Yun'er, she should die. In that case, why should she feel guilty?

Emperor Qianwen slowly walked up to Dongfang Du, patted her on the shoulder, and sighed faintly: "If Du'er wants to be the prince and prince, how good it would be to succeed me in the future!" But he knew that Dongfang Du didn't want his throne, he just wanted to leave the capital and live an unrestrained life with Dark Clouds.

Dongfang Du didn't know what to answer, so he could only continue to keep his head down.

Seeing this, Emperor Qianwen said helplessly: "If Du'er doesn't want the throne, what about the order?" "This is to ask Dongfang Du for his opinion on the new crown prince alone.

After pondering for a moment, Dongfang Du asked, "Father, do you really not consider the imperial sister?" The imperial sister is not as weak as we see, she has her strength, but also her intelligence, and at the same time has the compassion and kindness of a woman, if the imperial sister is the empress, she will be able to be famous for centuries, the empress of Nanchi country, not as good as her. ”

Dongfang Du's face was not red and his heart was not beating loudly, as if Emperor Qianwen did not let Dongfang Lingwu become the crown prince, it would be a great loss for the Eastern Qianguo, and it was also the fault of Emperor Qianwen who could not let a famous emperor ascend to the dragon throne.

Emperor Qianwen nodded thoughtfully and said, "I will think about it, and Du'er can also go back." "He left Dongfangdu, he just wanted to ask the prince about it, and since Dongfangdu had already said it, he could naturally let her leave.

――

In the Fengqing Palace, Dark Cloud, Dongfang Lingwu, Chu Mi and Wu Yazi sat around a table, waiting for Dongfang Du to come back from the Cultivation Palace, while chatting about what had happened in the past few days.

Dongfang Lingwu is only good friends with Dongfang Du, but no matter how she says that Dongfang Xi is also her imperial brother, although she doesn't feel much uncomfortable in her heart, her feelings have been low, if it weren't for Chu Mi talking non-stop, I'm afraid that this room would be so quiet that you could hear a needle falling on the ground.

Banlan had been waiting outside the self-cultivation hall, and when she saw that Dongfang Xu and Dongfang Xuan had come out, and her second prince had not come out for a long time, she was anxious, for fear that Emperor Qianwen would know about the dark wind, so she left Dongfang Du behind.

After waiting anxiously for a long time, he finally looked forward to his second prince, but he didn't want Dongfang Du to say something scared to death when he saw her: "Banlan, I hurt the imperial sister......"

She is pushing Dongfang Lingwu into the fire pit! She didn't want to be the emperor, and Dongfang Lingwu didn't want to be either. At the beginning, she also said that she would take Dongfang Lingwu to leave the palace together, but she didn't expect to sell her when she turned around.

When Banlan heard this, her heart jumped suddenly, and she hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, why did you harm Her Royal Highness the Princess?" ”

"Alas, let's go back to Fengqing Palace first." Dongfang Du frowned, "I really don't know if my father really listened to my opinion, would the imperial sister want to kill me......" Thinking about going back to Fengqing Palace quietly first, and hiding from Dongfang Lingwu by the way, she didn't know that everyone was waiting for her in Fengqing Palace at this moment.
