Lu Qingrong and Tang Yue in the carriage were always cautious, thinking about their own thoughts, and they didn't open their mouths until they returned to King Jing's Mansion.

The second prince was not in the mansion at the moment, and Tang Yue directly led Lu Qingrong to the inner courtyard.

When only the two of them were left in the hall, Lu Qingrong couldn't hold back any longer: "How did the princess know that I was in trouble in the East Palace?" ”

Tang Yue personally handed the blue glaze carved teacup on the table to Lu Qingrong, and then began to say slowly:

"Since the Marquis of Jingyuan was imprisoned, the palace has invited you several times, but you have refused. The prince and I understood your intentions, but in order to avoid suspicion, we didn't take the initiative to invite each other again, but just pay more attention to the Hou Mansion. ”

"We all know about the trial of the criminal department. Lord Yu was thoughtful, and did not ask the prince to come forward, but also rejected the people from the Zhenbei General's Mansion, but pulled the irrelevant Lord Ji over...... That's a long way off! Speaking of today, you were invited to the East Palace, and after I got the news, I immediately entered the palace. Originally, I went straight to the East Palace, but when I walked to the door, I noticed that the change of guard seemed to be a little unusual, so I went to invite the queen again...... Don't worry, the queen is quite detached and doesn't even ask anything......"

Tang Yue's words did not eliminate Lu Qingrong's doubts.

Lu Qingrong was most puzzled by two things.

Why did Tang Yue think that he would be in danger if he went to the East Palace?

And about the talisman, did she know about it?

Regarding the latter, Lu Qingrong can't ask directly no matter what.

When Jiang Xuan informed himself about the military talisman, he made it very clear. It's just to ensure the safety of the Hou Mansion, and it doesn't mean to help anyone compete for the throne.

Even if they were biased towards the second prince in their hearts, they would never act like this. After all. The eldest grandson of the emperor also has this qualification.

It's just that after today's incident, Lu Qingrong's heart was faintly shaken.

Facing Tang Yue, Lu Qingrong still had reservations, and only explained: "What I said in front of the queen mother is not complete. According to what the emperor said before he left, he was also willing to use that token to save the world. As for the guards later. In fact, it was my third sister who ordered them to block the door, but the reason for this is unknown. ”

Tang Yue was silent for a long time, and suddenly raised his head: "Let's stop playing dumb riddles." Let me be clear first! ”

"As for why Donggong is looking for trouble with you today, and what are the conditions they have offered you, I will never ask. I came to you today because I want to tell you something. As for how to do it. I trust you to judge for yourself. ”

Lu Qingrong's surprise after hearing this only lasted for a moment.

This was nothing surprising, the emperor's condition was worrying, and King Jing's Mansion naturally couldn't deal with it calmly.

Tang Yue continued: "You just asked, how did I know that you would be in trouble in the East Palace. I'll tell you the truth, I'm just guessing, but it's not a random guess! I'm afraid I know a little more about the East Palace than you do. ”

"I want to hear about it." Lu Qingrong was extremely solemn.

"The crown princess is under house arrest. Outsiders don't understand the inside story, you should know, right? Tang Yue asked first.

Lu Qingrong didn't hide it: "I know." When the concubine was pregnant for the first time. lived in the house in Muxi Hutong, and it was the crown princess who ordered someone to go over and set a fire, almost killing one corpse and two lives. ”

Tang Yue sighed, and then said, "I don't know what you think, but I still have some understanding of the crown princess's personality, so I didn't believe that this matter was written by her...... Later, when I learned that the emperor had only ordered house arrest and not forbidden visits, I passed over a few times. As expected, the description of the incident between the Crown Princess's words was very different from the facts of the case at the time......"

Lu Qingrong did not question it, she believed that Tang Yue, if she had not investigated in detail, would definitely not talk nonsense.

"However, I heard that the crown princess confessed her guilt in front of the emperor, if it wasn't for her......" Lu Qingrong was halfway through speaking, and suddenly stopped, as if he had sensed something.

If this is really not the crown princess's doing, then it is not difficult to guess who she is reproaching for......

Lu Qingrong felt unbelievable, and the appearance of the emperor's eldest grandson coexisting with calm and childishness appeared in front of him, and he rushed out: "How old is he!" At such a young age, it shouldn't be ......"

Tang Yue looked back at her calmly, and said softly: "You can think of this all of a sudden, it can be seen that you also feel strange." ”

Lu Qingrong was noncommittal.

It's just because she can't figure it out herself.

Even if she had just told her this a day earlier, she would not hesitate to choose not to believe it.

But now......

For some reason, the emperor's eldest grandson she saw in the East Palace today always made her feel different from the past.

Lu Qingrong's eyebrows tightened more and more: "This ...... Is there direct evidence? ”

"Yes. When the crown princess was first placed under house arrest, the chamberlain in the East Palace, who was responsible for contacting the outside, was also put on death row. ”

"Why didn't this testimony be presented to the emperor?" Lu Qingrong asked.

"In the officialdom, there are a lot of corpses and vegetarian meals, not to mention that this is an insignificant little eunuch who testifies to the eldest grandson of the East Palace...... Whoever has it in his hand is a hot potato, and he just wants to bite indiscriminately before he dies. By the time this testimony reached the prince, the little eunuch had already been executed! ”

Lu Qingrong was quite touched, and said in a low voice: "Everyone is dead, if the prince takes this testimony to the emperor again, he will definitely be bitten back." ”

Tang Yue let out a sigh: "It's good that you can understand." ”

Lu Qingrong turned and said: "Since there is no proof of death, it is unknown if he is really climbing and biting indiscriminately......

"That's what the prince said! In the end, he didn't mention this matter to the emperor. Tang Yue's expression became a little more serious, "This matter, after all, is still an unsolved case, it shouldn't have been said to disturb you, and the reason why I brought it up in front of you is because another case has just been decided, and there is solid evidence, and it ...... It's kind of related to you. ”

"What case?" Lu Qingrong had no clue at all.

"Do you remember that in March last year, the emperor's eldest grandson was assassinated in Guangyin Temple?" Tang Yue asked.

"Yes." Lu Qingrong recalled, "I was at the scene at the time, and it was finally confirmed that most of those assassins were dead soldiers of Fanmeng. ”

Lu Qingrong remembered that his arm was also injured that time, and he was cut by an assassin who couldn't even tell the difference between the blade and the back of the knife when he fell.

And she clearly remembered that the emperor's eldest grandson had always insisted that he was blocking the knife for him.

At that time, Lu Qingrong didn't think much about it, and only became the emperor's eldest grandson because of his uncertainty......
