Shuang Qi glanced at her amusedly, "People who practice martial arts diligently are not easy to get tired. ”

"That's right, Qiuge, have you and Junyang been absurd in martial arts training during this time?" , Chu Yu turned his head and said.

Qiu Ge drooped his face, "Childe, the slave and maid really have martial arts, but they have not grown up and have ......"

"Oh? Is it? Chu Yu cast a suspicious look.

Qiuge shrank his head, obviously weak-hearted.

"Go back and let Shuangqi and Ji Qing take you to practice well." , Chu Yu frowned.

"Ji Qing? Is that the good-looking little brother next to the Seventh Prince? Qiu Ge looked like a nymphomaniac, and then realized that he had said the three words of the Seven Princes, and covered his mouth as if he had said the wrong thing.

Chu Yu glanced at her, "Qiuge, if I'm not mistaken, you seem to have reached the end of the day, right?" ”

"Back to Gongzi, the slave maid is just in time this year." , Qiuge's face was embarrassed.

"Well, sure enough, the female university didn't stay!" , Chu Yu sighed, and then said with a smile, "It's time for the woman and Lu to get married, if you really have the right eye for which little brother, tell me, I'll call the shots for you." ”

Qiu Ge didn't expect Chu Yu to say this, and he was a little excited at the moment, "Really? ”

Chu Yu nodded.

Shuangqi on the side cast envious eyes, she also wanted to know what it was like to be happy with people, but it seemed that she was not interested in the men around her.... She even thinks that women are cuter than men..... Is there something wrong with her idea? She didn't know, and she didn't dare to talk about it to anyone else.....

At this moment, a gust of wind blew in the distance, which made people shudder.

Chu Yu frowned, and gestured to Shuangqi and Qiu Ge, who immediately understood, drew his sword from his back, and looked around vigilantly.

Chu Yu looked around calmly and did not make any moves.

The wind swept the surrounding fallen leaves, and when the fallen leaves fell from mid-air, Chu Yu and the others saw more than a dozen black-clothed people stepping on from all directions, and their toes made a creaking sound when they stepped over the dead branches and leaves.

Frost Seven and Qiu Ge were like great enemies, and they looked vigilant.

Chu Yu pursed his lips, his face remained unchanged, but he felt a little pity in his heart for the herbs behind it, which he had worked so hard to pick today, but he was afraid that this dozen would be gone.

She thought that their whereabouts were secret enough, but she didn't expect them to be remembered by thieves.

The cold wind whistled by, lifting Chu Yu's hair, and in an instant, the murderous aura overflowed.

.......

At the same time, in the imperial palace dozens of miles away, the ministers and princes were arguing over the outcome of the trial of the second prince.

"Your Majesty, it is clear on this paper that the dancing girl is a spy of the Xiliang Kingdom, thinking that the Xiliang Kingdom was defeated and dissatisfied, so she sent someone to assassinate our generals, which is unbearable. Your Majesty, Xiliang has offended our country three times or four times, Xiliang can't stay any longer, please send troops to conquer Xiliang, change the people of Beize to be fair, and give the seven princes and their wives justice. Zuo Qin's expression was serious and his words were sincere.

"Father, Zuo Xiang, although this matter is reviewed by the second brother, but the second brother is new to this matter, and the punishment is not severe, and it is possible that the dancing girl may have fabricated some facts at will because she couldn't stand the torture, and I heard that the dancing girl is dead, so no one can guarantee that the dancing girl deliberately said it for the sake of thinking." , The Seven Princes bowed their hands to the emperor, and then said, "Besides, these dancing girls committed suicide by swallowing poison as soon as they were caught, and this surviving dancing girl was prevented from committing suicide only after her jaw was removed. ”

The emperor frowned, "Rui'er, that dancing girl died because of torture?" ”

"Back to my father, exactly, Erchen feels that as long as the prisoner can explain the truth clearly, it doesn't matter what means are used." The second prince arched his hand, paused for a moment and said, "Moreover, since the prisoner has been explained clearly, then her life and death can only be left to fate." ”

Looking at the second prince with a gentle face, the emperor had some complications in his heart, he always knew that his second son had always been gentle and elegant, but it was the first time he had seen him with such a cold choice. However, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

He saw in him, a shadow of himself.

In order to achieve the goal, unscrupulous means, this is what he used to use.

Retracting his thoughts, the emperor frowned and said, "Since the dancing girl has signed the pledge, then this matter can be regarded as settled." Xiliang has a precedent for assassinating Beize, and this time it may be their plan. ”

"Father, this matter is still up for discussion, Xiliang Kingdom has just been hit hard, it is unlikely that they will make such a low-level mistake again, besides, their second prince and third princess are still in Beize, they will not make this risk again." , The Seven Princes walked to the center of the red carpet and arched their hands.

The emperor pondered for a while before saying, "What Jin'er said is not unreasonable, this matter is really strange. ”

"Father, the son is personally examining the dancing girl, so the son is the best to know whether the dancing girl is telling the truth, the son thinks that although this matter is strange, but the son dares to guarantee that what the dancing girl said is the truth."

"Oh? How to say? The emperor looked at the second prince expectantly.

"Erchen, like the Seventh Prince, also questioned what the dancer said, even if the dancer signed and painted the charge, but the sonson still doubted, so the sonson planned to impose a more cruel punishment on the dancer, trying to make the dancer tell the truth, but the dancer said that she wanted to make a deal with the son, as long as the son could leave her a whole body, she would tell the son what happened."

"As we all know, the torture in the palace prison is terrible, and it is almost impossible for a prisoner who has been treated with torture equipment in it to have a whole corpse." , a strange light flashed in the eyes of the second prince.

"Of course, Erchen didn't believe it all, so he kept an eye on it." From her conversation, the sons learned that they were actually instructed by a prince of Xiliang to assassinate the Seven Princes and the Seventh Princess, because the Seventh Prince and the Seventh Princesses led troops to reinforce them, so they suffered a great defeat, so they killed the two. ”

The dancer was afraid that Erchen would not believe it, so she said to Erchen that they were originally from Xiliang, and their bodies were engraved with a mark since childhood, and the logo was a red mark in the shape of a crescent moon. At this point, Erchen really believed the words of the dancing girl, and asked her to sign and draw the pledge. ”

There was silence in the court, and they were all quietly listening to the words of the second prince.

"Since the second brother has found out to this point, then what this crime says is true." , The Seven Princes said lightly, and there was no joy or sorrow in his tone.

"Since it is the assassination conspiracy of Xiliang Kingdom, then we in Beize must not tolerate it." , Zuo Qin arched his hand at the right time.

Shen Xun, who had been silent, suddenly stepped forward and arched his hand towards the emperor, "Your Majesty, if this matter is true, then we will have a legitimate reason to send troops, and at this time, it is a good time for us to take Xiliang in one fell swoop." ”

Take Xiliang in one fell swoop!

The emperor's eyes lit up, he had long wanted to conquer Xiliang, but he couldn't find the right time, at this moment, it's just right!

"Good! You can say that again! Xiliang has been harassing Beize for a long time, and he has repeatedly murdered the prince of our dynasty, which is unbearable! The emperor patted the armrest of the dragon head on the dragon chair and said loudly.

The Seventh Prince looked at such an emperor and lowered his eyelids, knowing that it was useless for him to say anything at this time. The emperor already has some measurement of his own in his heart, how can he not listen to other words, and, I don't know, the emperor has long had plans to conquer Xiliang, and today's incident gives him an upright reason.

I have to say that the second prince Wen Rui really made a very good calculation.

"Father, my son has something to say." , His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was long and jade, stepped forward and arched his hand.

Today, the prince is still wearing a silver-gray brocade robe, which seems to have a layer of glazed color, and as he walks, the glazed light on the skirt swayes.

"Oh? But what does the prince have to say? The emperor smiled.

"Father, not long ago, Bei Ze fought with Xi Liang, although Bei Ze defeated Xi Liang, Xi Liang's vitality was greatly damaged, but our Bei Ze is not much better, and it is winter now, if we really fight again, I am afraid we will not be able to take much advantage." , the prince carefully analyzed the situation.

"Yes, Your Majesty, please think twice, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is not unreasonable, it is winter, the grain and grass are not growing, and the grain of the people can just survive this winter. If we send troops again, although the troops are sufficient, we will not be able to keep up with the food and grass. Zuo Qin took a step forward, stood on the right back side of the crown prince, and bowed in the direction of the emperor.

"Well, this matter is in a hurry. It will not be too late to mention this in the spring of next year. The emperor pondered for a while, and said.

"Father, Emperor Shengming."

"The emperor is wise."

The emperor stroked his forehead, "Okay, since everyone has nothing else to do, let's retire from the court!" ”

"If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat!" , Gonggong Qin, who was holding the dust, shouted at the top of his voice.

There was silence in the courtroom, and it was clear that there were no other ministers to perform.

"Retreat!"

A sharp voice resounded throughout the court.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" , The courtiers bowed and sent the emperor away.

The ministers in the court left one after another, and only the seven princes and the crown prince were still standing there.

The Seven Princes stayed at the end to go just to avoid the accosting of some ministers, so when they saw that the ministers were almost gone, they also planned to turn around and leave.

But he was about to leave, but was stopped by the prince, "Wen Jin." ”
