"Oh no! Those hungry people in the city ......" Chu Lingxiang didn't care about patting the dust on his dress, and he couldn't even maintain his basic demeanor, so he only entered the hall with a frightened face, pushed away a minister in front of him who was blocking his way, and shouted, "Those hungry people don't know where to get the news, saying that someone deliberately withheld the relief food - they, they are already rioting!" ”

Her words instantly caused an uproar in the Shangzheng Palace like a stone to the lake.

The people who didn't dare to speak because of the low air pressure couldn't help it in an instant, and they turned their heads and ears in twos and threes, and the sound of whispering came and went.

"Riot?!"

"How could it be ......"

"But above the court, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in charge of the treasury, didn't he just play a few days ago and said that he was preparing to open a warehouse to release grain?

"Don't mention that...... If the grain is really opened and released, how can it cause a riot? ”

What do you mean by that? Could it be that you suspect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has violated the law and deducted relief food, which caused today's riot? ”

"That's what you said, so the official didn't ......"

"Shut up!" Chu Lingxiang couldn't bear it anymore, turned his head and yelled at the people who were particularly loud, "When you encounter such a critical situation, you can shirk it faster than anyone else, and I haven't seen you do anything practical for the people!"

From Chu Lingxiang's anxious appearance of refuting those people, it can be seen how anxious she is at this time - but in a hurry, Chu Zhaoxi, who is sitting on the highest position, was not frightened by her appearance and the situation she said, but asked very calmly: "When is it?" ”

"Just now, half an hour ago......" Chu Lingxiang felt the slightly reproachful gaze that Cao Han threw at him, and immediately put down his panicked expression, quickly sorted out his appearance, and stood upright before he began to answer, "At present, the crown prince and the imperial brother have already gone to the scene to check the situation. ”

"He's already on the scene?" Chu Zhaoxi slowly stood up, cast an unclear glance in the direction of Luo Liyao and Chu Yang, and said slowly, "Only him?" What did he go to do? ”

"Back to my father's words......" Chu Lingxiang quickly took a few deep breaths before calming down a little and calming down to answer Chu Zhaoxi's seemingly random question, "The crown prince said that the food for the hungry people was bought by him with his own money at the grain store, and there will never be a problem - so this sudden riot must be someone instigating the people behind his back!" ”

"This is really going to find a time...... Chu Zhaoxi's face was condensed, and after hearing her words, he chuckled, and he didn't know what to think, "What about your eldest brother?" Didn't you see him when you came? ”

"Big brother?" Chu Lingxiang

was a little inexplicable, and blurted out, "Didn't the eldest brother leave Cangxia City a long time ago?" ”

"Leave?!" Chu Zhaoxi hadn't spoken yet, but Yongye opened his mouth first, and the shock on his face had reached the point of not hiding it at all, "How is it possible?" Why did he leave?! He ......"

Cao Han pursed his lips, and felt that things seemed to be more complicated.

"Chu Lingyuan left Cangxia City yesterday" seems a little inexplicable, but it happened to happen at such a special time node, and it happened to be told by Chu Lingxiang on such a wonderful occasion.

This is not the point, the point is - even Chu Lingxiang knew about "Chu Lingyuan leaving Cangxia City", but Yongye, who was nominally closest to him, was very shocked by this, not to mention Chu Zhaoxi and even Cao Han.

Chu Zhaoxi turned his head to look at Yongye, who looked stunned and didn't seem to be fake, and asked, "When was the last time you saw him?" ”

"It's the day before the wedding feast......"

"Then he said on the second day that he was not in good health, and he didn't show any of his ...... at the banquet," Chu Zhaoxi smiled again, "I'm afraid I'm already gone?" ”

Eternal Night: "......"

Eternal Night pursed her lips, not knowing how to answer his words, so she remained silent in fear.

Everyone looked at Chu Zhaoxi's appearance, but it was even more terrifying than before, and they didn't dare to speak.

All of a sudden, the Shangzheng Hall returned to the silence it had before.

But Shen Chu's courtiers didn't dare to speak, which didn't mean that Chu Yang didn't dare to speak.

"Your Highness, you say, isn't this really interesting?" On such an occasion, Chu Yang naturally didn't fit to put a smile on his face anymore, only slightly covered half of his face with his sleeves, leaned towards Luo Liyao and said, "One after another, Empress Shen Chu finally turned the spearhead to the eldest prince, and as a result, the eldest prince disappeared directly......

Luo Liyao didn't think he was a trustworthy person, so she didn't want to discuss her thoughts with him at all, so she asked directly, "Do you have any ideas again?" ”

"If it is said that the monarch of Shen Chu just now only has three points of doubt about this so-called 'great prince', but after such a 'coincidence'...... I'm afraid it's increased to eight or nine points. Chu Yang was not ambiguous, and even took out some so-called "sincerity", and said softly, "After all, when he left for such no reason, he couldn't find anyone directly-that Shenchu Guojun originally just wanted to confirm something, just because of such a 'coincidence'...... It seems to be directly seated. ”

Luo Liyao accurately found the point in his words: "What do you think Chu Lingyuan left at this time...... Is it a 'coincidence'? ”

"Do you really think, Your Highness...... The so-called 'Great Emperor'

Is the son really 'Chu Lingyuan'? Chu Yang didn't answer the rhetorical question, "This time, His Majesty believes Empress Shenchu's words. ”

Luo Liyao pondered for a while and did not answer him, but silently agreed with what he said in his heart - Cao Han's "The current Chu Lingyuan is not a real royal family" is mostly true. At least for now, Chu Zhaoxi must think so in his heart.

And for Cao Han, she must have some confidence in this matter before she dares to say this, and people like her naturally don't dare to say this when she is not sure at all, she can't afford the consequences.

So assuming that the current "Chu Lingyuan" is indeed an impostor, his early departure must be because he realized something, or there is something urgent that must be done.

So did he realize the sudden attack of the eternal night and Cao Han's reversal, or did he suddenly have some plan? Could it have something to do with the sudden hunger riots that are now occurring?

These are all questions that Luo Liyao is still struggling with.

"Actually, Your Highness doesn't have to think about this matter at all......" Chu Yang seemed to see the entanglement in her heart, and once again interrupted her thoughts in a timely manner, "Before leaving, Your Majesty instructed Your Majesty that you must not let Your Highness be too careful—Your Majesty said that since Lord Liran has arrived in Shenchu safely, His Highness does not need to worry about other things." ”

Luo Liyao: "What do you mean?" ”

"Of course it's not bad...... Chu Yang immediately explained with a strong desire to survive, "it's just...... Your Highness's health is the most important thing, and if Your Majesty knew that you were bothered about such irrelevant matters, he would definitely blame Your Majesty. ”

"It's not necessary—" Luo Liyao was helpless, and directly ignored his last few words, and pierced him mercilessly, "You are Ning Zhongji's protégé, we shouldn't be all the way...... You don't have to be so kind. ”

This is the first time that Luo Liyao has been so straightforward, and she directly made it clear what is at stake between them - Rao is Chu Yang, who has always been very calm and even has a smile on his face, was subconsciously stunned after hearing her words.

However, after being stunned for a short time, Chu Yang's heart also felt a little relaxed inexplicably - after all, it is always easier to open the skylight and say bright words than to guess charades.

"Your Highness can know - 'good birds choose trees to perch'." Now that Luo Liyao had already pointed out bluntly, he stopped being ambiguous, "The minister believes in Ning Xiang, but ...... After all, he is not a person from Tianqi. ”

Luo Liyao glanced at him and didn't immediately say: "......"

Chu Yang also looked at her directly without any weakness and did not speak.

The two of them have different thoughts, but they both know it - in view of Chu Yang's origin and power, they can all be Ning Zhong

Even if the relationship is linked, Luo Liyao knows that Chu Yang's words are not very credible, and even suspects that he is just a grass waiting for an opportunity to move the wall; As a native of Tianqi, Chu Yang knew Luo Liyao's character and ability from the beginning, and naturally knew that his words were not enough to win her trust......

Obviously, it is naturally impossible to gain all of Luo Liyao's trust, but if Luo Liyao trusts him a little more...... Naturally, he still had to show more sincerity.

Chu Yang seemed to think about something seriously, and said firmly: "Your Highness, it's actually ......."

"Princess Zhenli—"

Chu Yang's words were directly interrupted by Chu Zhaoxi ruthlessly, but given that this was not the time for him to interject, he immediately stopped his mouth.

"You can also see that Shen Chu is in an eventful time now." Chu Zhaoxi approached Luo Liyao slightly, and looked at her from a distance of only a few feet, "I still have to deal with this bunch of chores now, and I really don't have the skills to do it......"

Although Chu Zhaoxi said this, as if he was trying his best to show his embarrassment at this time, but after all, his expression was not like his words, only his face was slightly tense, and at a glance he knew that it was the calm before the storm.

And this is also very clear, that is, I want to open Luo Liyao directly, close the "door" to deal with these troubles, and ensure that my "family ugliness" will not be publicized.

Luo Liyao naturally knew this, and immediately responded to him knowingly: "It just so happens that I am going to return to Tianqi in a few days, so I will go back and let them pack their bags." ”

The implication is obvious: I don't have any interest in you at all, and since you don't want me to know, I'll just go - there are so many rights and wrongs here, who wouldn't want to stay out of them? Luo Liyao is not a person with high curiosity, and she also knows the truth that "curiosity kills cats".

And Luo Liyao did what she said, and immediately saluted him slightly when she said she was leaving, turned around and left, without even giving Chu Yang a look, let alone looking at Yongye and Cao Han.

Chu Yang hesitated for a moment, but still chose to follow, followed her closely, and whispered what he had just said as he walked: "Your Highness, actually...... He's already here. ”
