Liu Xu looked at everything in front of him with a gloomy face and asked, "What the hell is going on?"

Liu Changqing also had palpitations, frowned and said: "Just now we have been walking inside, but we have been encountering repeated scenes, and we thought it was a ghost hitting the wall?"

He glanced at Mo Ziyu and asked, "After chewing the grass you said, everything returned to normal, what is going on?"

"Smoke. Mo Ziyu said with a serious face, "There should be smoke arranged around here, and you inhaled it, and you collectively hallucinated." Someone wants to trap you here. And it's hard to spot. ”

Liu Changqing bit his lip, lowered his eyes and didn't speak, who had to take his life?

Could it be the princess?

Qi Zi raised her eyebrows and looked at Liu Changqing: "Why do so many people look at you unpleasantly?"

Mo Ziyu frowned and sighed, the bright light of the torches on her face on the side, half-light and half-darkness made her look even more worried, she glanced at the Qingling behind her, and asked, "Do you remember what happened to us in the Guandi Temple a few months ago?"

Qing Ling nodded: "I immediately remembered the incident at that time, and the girl's also thinks that this matter is related to that crazy person?"

"What do you mean?" asked Liu Xu puzzled.

"The concubine has been looking for a crazy person, and the concubine has always felt that the matter of the third lady has something to do with him, and it took a long time to find his whereabouts, but then he disappeared again. When I went to him with Qingling at that time, I was caught in the smoke he planted. Mo Ziyu said, "If you want to find out who is making trouble this time, you might as well find the crazy Taoist first." ”

"Hmm. Liu Xu nodded, "This king knows." It's not early, so let's go back first. ”

The group went down the mountain, and after arriving at the bottom of the mountain, Mi Zi said goodbye to everyone and left first. Liu Xu sent Liu Changqing back to the palace first, although he took Mo Ziyu back to Qiushui Garden.

The last time the madman was still in a fog, but the madman might have something to do with the princess or the Wang family, so is the matter in the paddock related to them?

There are countless questions in Mo Ziyu's heart, now that the prince is fully investigating the case of the former prince, it is not good to be distracted by this matter.

At night, Mo Ziyu also noticed that Liu Xu was tossing and turning, and asked in a low voice, "Is the prince worried about the affairs of the prince?"

"The imperial brother died unjustly, and the matter of overturning the case for him has not yet been resolved, if he can't keep his only bloodline, how can this king be able to deal with him?" Liu Xu sighed, "This king doesn't want to, he was injured because of this king." In any case, after all, this king is not strong enough to protect him well. ”

"It's useless for the prince to blame himself. Mo Ziyu said softly, "It's easy to dodge open guns and difficult to defend against dark arrows, and all we can do is cover the soldiers with water and earth." But evil will prevail over good, and one day, those filthy and evil will eventually be cleansed away, isn't that what you are doing now, my lord?"

Early the next morning, the third lady came to visit and asked worriedly: "The concubine heard that the prince had been missing for a while, and she was worried in her heart, and she didn't know what happened on the mountain, so she came to ask." ”

It's no wonder that she is worried, after all, Liu Xu almost had a big incident last year.

"It's just that the son of the world is playful and gets lost in the woods. Liu Xu said lightly, "It's not a big deal, you don't have to worry." ”

The third lady breathed a sigh of relief: "Seeing that you all came back safely, I can rest assured in my heart." ”

She remembered Wang's entrustment, no matter what, let's bring a word for her, as for whether the prince is willing to see her, it is up to the prince to decide, so she was silent for a while, and did not avoid Mo Ziyu, looked at Liu Xu and said: "Prince, the concubine went to see the Wang family the day before yesterday, she was not in good health, and wanted to see the prince, she said that there was something important to tell the prince, about ten years ago." ”

Liu Xu frowned slightly, what happened ten years ago was related to the imperial brother? Her father was the source of this case, she might know something, nodded and said, "This king knows." ”

Liu Xu still had official business to deal with, so he left first after breakfast, and the third lady accompanied Mo Ziyu to talk for a while.

"You were in the paddock yesterday, nothing happened, did it?" asked the third lady.

"Something did happen to Shizi, but it's all right. Mo Ziyu hooked his lips and smiled slightly, "But the prince is thinking very far, and he is in a hurry to find the princess for the prince!"

"The prince is only eleven years old, the prince really can think of it! But it's good to set the person, first, we can observe the woman's behavior for a long time, and secondly, the two children can slowly cultivate their feelings, so as not to get married temporarily, how can two people who have never met live together!" The third lady felt that she might not have any children of her own in this life, and she watched grow up in this life, so she unconsciously regarded this child who was not pleasing to her eyes and slowly became her own child.

The smile on her face retracted, "I went to see Wang's down-and-out appearance now, I thought she had suffered retribution, and I would be happy in my heart, but somehow, I even had some feelings of sympathy, it seems that I am really old, and even hatred is not sharp." Whether we hate someone or love someone, we always have some thoughts in life, and I don't know what I should live for in the future. I sometimes envy the women of ordinary people's families, whether they are in charge of housework or raising children, and there is always hope in this life. ”

She is a little nostalgic for her former self, fighting for favor, fighting for power, there is always a goal and a direction, now she seems to have seen through everything, fame and fortune don't want anymore, it seems that the years are quiet, but like a flower that has lost its nutrients and is about to wither.

Later, after Liu Xu finished handling his official duties, he returned to the palace, paused in his footsteps, and went to Tongzhi Courtyard.

The prince has not set foot in Tongzhi Courtyard for a long time, although the treatment of this Tongzhi Courtyard is like before, but in the end it still loses its vitality and becomes lifeless, the prince's footsteps, so that the people of Tongzhi Courtyard have renewed hope in their hearts, can the prince forgive her? Can they regain their freedom?

"Madam, the prince is here!" Qiu Lin called inside.

Wang's eyes came back from the sky outside the window, her expression was a little flustered, she didn't expect Liu Xu to come at this time, she hadn't dressed up, she was dressed in plain clothes, and her hair was scattered, she wanted to re-dress herself, but she found that Liu Xu had already arrived at the door.

She quickly tidied up her clothes and hair, and said, "I didn't know that the prince would come, the concubine was disheveled, so the prince smiled." ”

"No problem. Liu Xu sat down inside, looking at Wang's pale face, "Can you ask the doctor to come and see it?"

"I've seen it, old diseases, I still need to take care of them. Wang smiled lightly, "Qiu Lin, you go out first." ”

"Yes. ”

After taking a sip of hot tea, Wang Shi spoke first: "The prince is here for what happened ten years ago, right?"

Liu Xu nodded: "What do you know about that matter?"

"The great sin committed by my father and brother, I think they will definitely die, I can't imagine that they will not be able to escape this ending after all!" Wang smiled dismally, "At the beginning, Yun Guifei used her father's crime to threaten the concubine, so that the concubine was used by her, and the concubine was in a dilemma for many years, but she still couldn't change anything." Now that they have settled the matter, the concubine knows the prince's temperament, and she is not willing to embarrass the prince, and the concubine will not say anything about interceding for them. ”

After a pause, Wang continued: "Does the prince know what happened ten years ago, how did the concubine know about it? When Yun Guifei threatened the concubine, she had this crime, and the concubine knew that if it was something else, they might have a way to live, but if this matter was known by the prince, he would definitely not survive." ”

"This king has been to the prison, and your father has told me everything that happened. Liu Xu said, "It's just that this king didn't expect this matter, Yun Guiren, she actually knew about it." ”

Wang's eyes narrowed slightly: "Not only do you know that the events of the year must have nothing to do with her! The prince might as well think about it, who can do this game? Who will benefit the most? The prince had an accident, and the queen hanged herself, and then she was in charge of the harem alone, and the king of Qin was also valued by His Majesty. She was in the harem, and her hand might not be so long, but at that time she was outside the palace, and there was a Qianhou. Although the concubine was not very old back then, she also heard her father say that the prince and reform, the first thing is to take the imperial business, which is to move the interests of the Qianhou, and the Qianhou has sufficient reasons to do so, and the Qianhou is in turmoil, and the King of Qin kills him, will the two be murderous and cover up the truth?"

Liu Xu was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "The things you analyzed, this king has also thought of it, but it seems that there is still a force, and his purpose is to let this king investigate all the way down and find out about Yun Guiren!"

"The concubine body has been in Tongzhi Courtyard these days, these things are not clear to the concubine body, since the prince is willing to investigate, it must be a decision that is still made after weighing the pros and cons, the concubine body is not qualified to persuade the prince to stop, but in the end, the prince and the king of Qin are just defeated, so who is profiting in the end? Maybe this is the force behind it!"

Liu Xu frowned, could it be King Zhao's mother and son?

He then shook his head lightly and denied this idea, how hidden the things of the year were, and it was still difficult for his own people to investigate, but the person who found all the evidence for him must have participated in the events of that year and knew the events of that year very clearly. Ten years ago, Concubine Li was in a humble position, and King Zhao was just a child of a few years old, so he would definitely not be involved.

"Lord Wang, if you still want to continue to investigate, the concubine can only tell the prince to do it herself. Wang said, "If possible, for our father's sake's sake, don't implicate the clansmen in the prince's affairs, and give my father and brother a good time." ”

"This king promises you. ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang. ”
