It is also strange to say that on the second day when Qi You appointed the eldest prince Qi Huan to thoroughly investigate the rumors of Longyang's goodness, the storyteller disappeared immediately, and he disappeared without a trace.

The courtiers all doubted the eldest prince for such a coincidence, which was too coincidental, this fanfare has been passed on for so long, but it happened that the eldest prince took over the investigation as soon as the eldest prince took over, and the matter immediately took a turn for the better, and the storyteller disappeared immediately.

Because of this, the eldest prince is really at a loss for words these days, and he is very busy, and it is a disgrace to be able to solve this matter, but he can't put his own innocence into it, and it is only now that the eldest prince begins to suspect that he is the one who was trapped.

On this day, the eldest prince was summoned into the palace by his mother, Concubine Xian, and as soon as she entered the hall, Concubine Xian Gongsun said anxiously: "What's going on outside Zhen'er?" First, it was rumored that there was an ambiguity between the second prince and Murong Heqi, and then it was rumored that you were talking behind your back, what is going on? ”

The eldest prince sat on the chair with a decadent face and sighed: "Hey, mother, my son is probably following their way!" ”

"They, who?" Concubine Xian asked.

"The Second Prince and King Shen!" The Great Prince said.

"What do you mean?" Concubine Xian is unknown.

"Mother, didn't my son mention to you the ambiguous matter between the second prince and Murong Heqi before, this is true, so the son found a way to quietly reveal it to his father, but no one expected that the news would spread outside the palace, and it was secretly publicized by someone who was a storyteller, and this publicity spread, the people in the capital, and the civil and military officials all knew about it, and this matter was considered a big deal." The eldest prince said.

"This ...... How did this spread? The mother reminded you before, don't preach, you won't ......? Concubine Xian said with some suspicion.

"Mother, although the son has thought about it, the son will also weigh such a scandal of royal secrets. As the eldest son of the emperor, the son should naturally try to cover it up, instead of hyping it up, otherwise this will not only hit the face of the second prince, but also the powerful relationship in it. The son understands very well. The eldest prince shook his head and said.

"Then ...... matter," Concubine Xian continued.

"Mother, you listen to your son first, the father of the court handed over the task of thorough investigation of this matter to his son, hoping that his son could thoroughly investigate it before the year, but the son just received the order. As soon as he started, the storyteller seemed to be able to pinch and calculate, and then disappeared without a trace, and the son could not find out the situation at all, although the matter was likely to be calmed down because of the disappearance of the person, but the son was trapped again, just like the mother heard that the son became the mastermind behind the scenes, and the son is really speechless now! The eldest prince said decadently.

"It's gone, so coincidentally. Could it be that someone deliberately arranged it? Concubine Xian asked.

"My son also thinks the same way, and after thinking about it, there are also the second prince and King Shen, and now I think that the second prince and King Shen dug a pit, waiting for my son to drill, but my son didn't notice it in advance, but now he is passive." The eldest prince seems to have understood.

"What do you mean, you mean they deliberately acted to lure you in?" Concubine Xian gasped.

"Now it seems that this is the case." The Great Prince said.

"The Second Prince and King Shen? When did they get so close? Concubine Xian muttered to herself.

"The son is not very clear, but he knows that the second prince will occasionally go to the Shenwang Mansion to visit, so he has the opportunity to contact Murong Heqi, so that it will come out later, and the son has always thought that this is the matter of the second prince and Murong Heqi. But I never thought that there would be something about King Shen, and I really don't understand why he would be so reluctant. The eldest prince expressed the doubts in his heart.

"You mean King Shen deliberately took advantage of his own son?" Concubine Xian asked uncertainly.

"The son doesn't know if there is a fake act, but the current situation is obvious, and the son didn't say it. Naturally, it can only be revealed by the people on their side, who used it to coerce their father and the emperor, and then designed to frame their son, whether there is ambiguity between them now is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that now the son must prove his innocence and prove that it is not the son who creates rumors behind his back. "This is really a headache for the eldest prince.

"That's right. I can't get you in, have you found any clues lately? Concubine Xian asked.

"The storyteller disappeared, and every clue was broken, as if it was specially prepared for my son and me, which really gave my son a headache." The eldest prince is already a little anxious.

"Where is your father?" Concubine Xian was more concerned about what the emperor thought.

"My father should have heard about it, but my son hasn't reported the situation yet." The Great Prince said.

"You should tell your father." The virtuous concubine built yì road.

"The son knows, but the son doesn't know how to say it to prove his innocence, what if the father also believes it, after all, the previous thing was revealed by the son to the father, and the son is in competition with the second prince, too many conditions are unfavorable to the son, and the son is not ready." The Great Prince said.

"Are you going to let them do it before you? If it is really as you expected, the two princes will naturally not stop if they do not achieve their goals, rather than being out of control at the back, it is better to take the initiative to give in first, after all, your father is a very sensible person, and the last thing he can see is that his own son colludes with other princes, which you can take advantage of. Concubine Xian analyzed.

"Did the mother ask her son to sue?" The eldest prince asked.

"Exactly!"

"But the son hasn't caught the favorable evidence yet, how to sue, if it doesn't work, it will leave the father with the image of a villain stabbed in the back, which is not good." The eldest prince analyzed.

"The mother concubine is not asking you to speak ill of the second prince and King Shen, you are just reflecting to your father the situation you are facing now, your predicament, these should be known to your father, at least it is better to say it from your mouth than from their mouths." Concubine Xian analyzed.

"Hey, my son is afraid of annoying his father." The eldest prince was still a little hesitant.

"Zhen'er, although your father is strict and harsh, he has always been tolerant and loving to his children, you have to remember that you are not going as a courtier this time, but as a son to explain, I think the emperor should be able to understand." Concubine Xian analyzed according to her own understanding of the emperor.

"Let my son think about it again." The eldest prince still has to think about it seriously.

Qi Huan was really thinking about it, outside the palace, in the Murong Mansion, Murong and Murong He Qi were also thinking seriously.

Since that day, Murong Heqi has been recuperating behind closed doors. No one has seen it, and now it is slowly recovering, and Murong Heqi still can't understand his mother's ruthlessness that time. He never expected his mother to treat him like this, which really made him feel very uncomfortable.

That day, he stood in the cold wind outside the ancestral hall until the sky turned white, and he didn't see his mother come out to give any explanation. Before he waited for his mother, he couldn't support it to the end, and when he woke up again, the imperial doctor sent by the palace was still checking his pulse, and his mother was standing aside with an anxious face, but there was still a sense of relief in the anxiety, which made Murong Heqi very puzzled.

On this day, Murong brought medicine to feed him personally, and Murong Heqi couldn't help but ask the question in his heart: "Mother, what happened that day." Do you have to kneel your son in the ancestral hall? ”

Murong didn't reply, just handed the medicine to He Qi and said, "Drink the medicine." ”

"Mother!" He Qi had to know why.

Murong took a deep breath, turned around and ordered, "You all go down, little young master, I have me." ”

After hearing the order, the subordinates naturally retreated, leaving only the mother and son of the Murong family, and the room was quiet, before the Murong family spoke: "You don't know this matter in your heart?" ”

Murong Heqi was stunned, and his pale little face was full of puzzlement: "Should my son know?" ”

"Why, things are so big, you don't know?" Murong Clan sneered slightly.

"Mother!" He Qi was very afraid of his mother's look like this.

"Good. Let me ask you, what have you done in the Shen Palace, and who have you met? Murong asked.

"Most of the time the son is with his grandmother or with his father to study. I can occasionally meet the second prince, what's wrong? He Qi was puzzled, his mother knew about these things early on.

"Is it just an occasional meeting?" Murong Clan reminded.

"Yes, my father is very quiet, there are almost no outsiders in the house, and only the second prince occasionally comes to visit. His father would also play chess and chat with him, and sometimes, when his son went to the palace to visit the imperial grandmother, the second prince would accompany his son, so it was only occasional. He Qi said.

"How do you feel about the second prince?" Murong asked.

"Feelings? Mother, why do you ask that, the second prince is the son's cousin in terms of relationship, the son has been alone since he was a child, and there is such a cousin who cares about me a lot, the son is naturally full of joy, you must know that I haven't had much contact with other people since I was a child, let alone the outside world, it was the second prince who accompanied me to open my eyes, and I want to say that I feel that my son is indeed very grateful to him. He Qi said very naturally.

"Just thanks, no emotion?" Murong asked.

"Affection? Mother, what are you thinking, it's just that the son and the second prince are getting closer, what are you thinking! He Qi frowned a little, what feelings, it was just a joke.

"He Qi, you have been closed in Murong Mansion and Shenwang Mansion since you were a child, two places, you have not had much contact with the world outside, you know all the things in this world, but in the end, it is just talk on paper, you are right, a person who has been closed suddenly appeared in the world, it is understandable that you are moved, but your mother doesn't want you to go further and further on the wrong path." Murong put down the medicine bowl in his hand and sighed.

"Mother?" He Qi was puzzled.

"Didn't you ask your mother why she was so resolute that day, she would rather let you freeze than let you kneel down in the ancestral hall, it was because your mother didn't want to be sorry for the ancestors of the Murong family and didn't want to destroy you." Murong explained.

"Ruined son, mother, your son is getting more and more incomprehensible." He Qi was confused.

"He Qi, you have always been extremely smart, can't you see this?" Murong was also puzzled in his heart, it stands to reason that such a thing should be very clear to both of them, could it be that her son was forced?

"Mother?" He Qi's head hurt.

"You know, these days there are rumors of madness outside, and it is rumored that you and the second prince have a habit of breaking sleeves, and the love of men is just noisy." The Murong clan was indeed difficult to speak, but in the end he still said it.

"What! Ahem, ahem, mother, what's going on out there? Broken sleeves, nonsense, just nonsense! He Qi was furious. (To be continued.) )
