The eunuch raised his head and glanced at him, his face was quite embarrassed: "Your Highness It's better to go back first, the emperor lost his temper again just now, aren't you going to catch up with the anger now?"

Tuoba Jun's eyes were a little hesitant, his eyes swept to the imperial study with the door closed, and then nodded in agreement: "Then thank you father-in-law, please don't tell my father about my visit."

"You're right to listen to the minion." The eunuch sent him away, and then went in to tell the emperor.

Recently, many officials have begun to move closer to the fifth prince, openly and secretly showing goodwill, but he remembered the lessons of the former prince in his heart, and he did not dare to do too much.

Tuoba Truss once asked him out in the name of tea and painting, but he was refused.

"I just wanted to test him, seeing him acting so cautiously, it can be seen how much he cares about this prince's position?"

Tuoba Truss chuckled and shook his head, but picked up the tea in his hand again.

Li Changge was a little absent-minded, the queen's words that day were deeply rooted in her mind, and they couldn't get rid of it, making her feel extremely tired.

"What's wrong with you? Since entering the palace that day, the whole person has become weird, and I knew that I wouldn't let you go. The look in Tuoba Truss's eyes turned cold, and he reached out to her forehead.

"I'm fine," Li Changge's face suddenly returned to normal, he raised his hand and touched his hand, his pink lips hooked lightly, "How does the fifth prince sit on the throne of the crown prince, and whether he has the ability to keep it is his ability." ”

Compared with the four princes, he is more difficult to deal with with the latter.

Tuoba Yuan is quite scheming, otherwise how could he easily fall for him?

"Now that I think about it, I haven't contacted Zhao Yunniang for a few days......" Tuoba Truss glanced at her calm little face, and deliberately raised his sword eyebrows and asked her, "Are you jealous?" ”

"What?" Li Changge's face froze, and he immediately frowned in confusion, "The reason why I was able to enter the palace a few days ago was not because you found Zhao Yunniang's relationship?" ”

And the relationship between them is only between the master and his subordinates, she herself knows this, why should she be jealous?

"I," the man's face sank slightly when he heard Yanjun, pretending to cough lightly twice to relieve the embarrassment, and his eyes unconsciously fell on her eyebrows, "I really wish you could be stupid sometimes, it's not a good thing for a woman to be too smart." ”

Now that she's guessed everything, he's had to swallow back all the words he'd been brewing, which was too boring.

Li Changge looked at the back of him leaving, and some indescribable feelings arose in his heart, and his eyes fell on his lap.

In fact, it wasn't that she didn't hear him clearly.

It's that she was too gullible in her previous life, so she ended up in a miserable and painful end, and she doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes in this life.

Even if she has experienced so much with him, she really doesn't know whether he is a trustworthy person or not, not to mention that there is a more important matter that has not been solved at the moment.

The next day, above the court.

"Prince," the emperor sat on the dragon chair with a solemn face, his cold eyes swept over the ministers in the hall, "I heard a few days ago that the former prince was killed by someone, not a normal death, who is the murderer behind this, and the matter of purging the remnants of the Li family is all left to you to deal with." He made a big mistake, I wanted to keep him in prison for the rest of my life, but I didn't want him to commit suicide by hitting the wall, and I was worried about the queen's suffering a few days ago, and I never got out of the pain. Therefore, let you start the investigation today, and be sure to complete this matter within three days. ”

Tuoba Yuan's body stiffened suddenly, although the expression on his face did not change, but the palms of his hands were sweating nervously.

If you really want to know the cause of the death of the former prince, why didn't you check it that day?

But now is the time to mention ......

As for whether they are worried about the queen, everyone knows it, and they dare not expose the emperor's shortcomings.

This is also the question that the prince doubts, but he still has to step forward and respond: "The son will definitely live up to his father's trust, and he will be able to do this within three days!" ”

After the next court, an official looked at Shang Tuoba Yuan, the latter nodded lightly, and then deliberately approached the prince, with a look of flattery on his face.

"The lower official is the newly appointed Gong Chen, the squire of the Ministry of Works, because of the guidance of the abolished prince, there are some things I want to ask His Highness, can you take a step to speak?"

"What's the matter? Let's talk about it here. The prince looked at him coldly, and when he heard the name of the abolished prince, a slightly complicated look flashed in his eyes.

However, he can't stay too long, if he is seen by his father and misunderstood as making a private party, then his position as the crown prince will be suspended.

"It's about the former prince...... Gong Chen spit out a few words lightly.

When the prince heard this, his face immediately sank, and he didn't say much, and quickly raised his feet and left.

Although the emperor intended to investigate the cause of the death of the former prince, it was also an untouchable mold, and no one dared to discuss it in private.

Tuoba Yuan, just in case, executed the previous jailer that night and ordered someone to put it at the gate of the prince's mansion.

The matter soon caused a lot of trouble, and the prince had to bury the bodies before starting to investigate the death of the former prince.

It's just that the former prince has long been buried, so how easy is it to talk about now?

The case is still clueless, and seeing that the three days are approaching, the prince still hasn't gotten any useful news.

He wanted to find Gong Chen before, but found that he couldn't find his figure.

"Your Highness, anyway, the former prince is deceased, so why don't we push out one person at will. Anyway, the emperor also wants a result, and he will definitely not go into it. Seeing that he had not slept all night, the housekeeper of the house stepped forward to suggest.

"Go down." The crown prince did not agree with his proposal, but he did not directly refuse.

He had tried his best to get people to investigate, and if he couldn't find any evidence before dawn, he had to do it that way.

The sky was white, and the people sent out returned one after another in vain, and the subordinate who had spoken before entered the study again, and he pursed the corners of his lips slightly.

It was almost an hour later that he came out of the study, tied the written letter to the pigeon's leg, and flew in the direction of the Four Princes' Mansion.

In the early dynasty, before Tuoba Jun could say the words he had prepared earlier, he heard Gong Chen actually participate in his plot to kill the prince!

"This matter is not trivial, Lord Gong must not talk nonsense." Tuoba Jun's cold gaze shot at him, and he gritted his teeth with hatred.

If this is Tuoba Truss's person, it is very likely that he deliberately wanted to frame him, but he has no evidence.

"Your Majesty, I heard that a few days ago, several corpses appeared in the prince's mansion inexplicably. And those people happened to be the jailers who guarded the former prince before, so it can be seen that the death of the former prince must be related to the prince! Gong Chen's mouth is neither humble nor arrogant, and he is justified, but not humble.

The prince's face turned pale when he heard this, why didn't he know about the origin of those corpses earlier?

"Father, the emperor, the son doesn't know why......" He tried to explain, but found that he couldn't find the words to refute it.

However, Tuoba Yuan rarely stood up and said some good things for him: "Erchen believes that the fifth brother will not do such a thing, and he also asks his father to see what is going on." ”

"Oh?" Seeing this, the emperor unconsciously lowered his eyes on Tuoba Yuan, but did not speak again.

Cold sweat broke out on Tuoba Jun's head, his eyes were anxious, his face was pretending to be calm, and his expression could not hide his panic.

The emperor ordered him to purge the remnants of the Li family, but he did not find out.

The position of the crown prince, which was finally obtained, wanted to impress his father and the emperor, but it was self-defeating.

Later, I heard the emperor speak, and there was nothing unusual in his voice: "This matter is stopped, the prince is immoral, and he will go back to confinement for a month." ”

"The sons thank their fathers for their grace." Tuoba Jun knelt down and saluted, finally relieved in his heart.

As long as he can keep the position of the crown prince, he can punish the rest.

He has already caused his father to displease at this moment, and he will never dare to attack Gong Chen again, today this dog thief will punish him, then he will definitely get rid of the master of this dog in the future!

After the emperor went down to court, he was still dealing with the twists and turns, and he didn't care about the affairs of the court.

In fact, the remnants of the Li family had already been secretly purged by him, and the cause of the former prince's death was not so important.

He already had a candidate for the prince in his heart, and the reason why he deliberately handed it over to the prince was to cause the four princes to fight with him, only the more fierce they are fighting now, it is better to pave the way for the prince in the bench position!

"Your Majesty, Concubine Li asks to see you." The eunuch outside the door came in and spread the word.

The emperor shook his head without raising his head: "Let her go back, and say that I will go to her palace when I am done." ”

When Concubine Li heard the eunuch's words, her face suddenly froze, knowing that the emperor was perfunctory, she couldn't help but stomp her feet angrily, and the corners of her mouth pulled a far-fetched smile.

"In this case, it will be bothersome to the father-in-law." She was still smiling a moment ago, but after turning around, her whole person became cold, and her eyes obviously showed unwillingness.

In recent days, the emperor has occasionally come to her palace, and she is no different from the past.

She had tried several times, but he had no intention of making himself the queen.

Now that the queen's position is vacant, there is no woman in the harem who is better than her in terms of beauty and grace.

If she can become the queen, it will be much easier to support her son to ascend to the throne.

The emperor put aside the half-approved folds, put down the folds in his hand a little tiredly, got up to pick out some new exotic treasures, and then went directly to the palace of Concubine Li.

"Your Majesty, why did you come here so late?" Concubine Li's face couldn't hide her joy, and she hurriedly stepped forward.

When she heard the news, she thought she had heard it wrong, but she didn't want to catch a glimpse of the emperor out of the corner of her eye, and she was a little speechless with excitement.

If she had known earlier, she might have dressed up as soon as possible and made some preparations for the holy car.

"Don't you want to see me? Why did I come here now, but you are not satisfied, do you think I came late? The Emperor walked in with her in his arms and kissed her on the side of the cheek.

"The concubine didn't mean that, she thought you forgot about me......" Concubine Li held his sleeve and sneered, and her delicate makeup brought a little shame.

"Why, you have been in the palace to accompany me for many years, and no one in this harem is as good as you." The emperor pretended to be displeased and lowered his face to deny.
