The sky was just dawning.

A palace lamp quietly floated out from the gate of the main hall of Longqing Hall and went in the direction of Dongnuan Pavilion.

The palace lantern floated to the door of the East Warm Pavilion, but it stopped silently.

"Manager Feng, how is my father? If I go in now, will I disturb St. Ann? ”

King Xuan stepped on a few steps at the door of the Dongnuan Pavilion, then gradually stopped, rubbed his hands, and then raised his head and asked modestly.

All the officials in the court and China said that King Xuanlu was still humble and graceful, a corporal with good manners, and had the demeanor of everyone.

In less than a year old, he has already been loved by hundreds of officials and has a good reputation. In the eyes of the people, the image is much better than that of the flamboyant and domineering prince!

Feng Xianfu had also dealt with King Xuan before. Talking to him, I always feel like a spring breeze and feel comfortable.

Just now he led King Xuan all the way forward, but it was rare to see him take the initiative to ask for warmth, talking and laughing.

It turned out that he was afraid of breaking the peace and tranquility of Longqing Palace.

Even if he had waited for a long time, and Feng Xianfu had been ordered to summon him to the inner court, it was only a blink of an eye, he still considered that Emperor Jing might fall asleep again in a short period of time, and if he went in by himself, it would disturb his dream.

Sure enough, he is a proper person who is as careful as a hair and has a thorough courtesy! No wonder it won so much praise and support!

"If His Royal Highness King Xuan is worried, let me go in and say hello first, and then pass it on."

Feng Xianfu smiled and replied enthusiastically.

Soon after, he shook the dust inside the door, and with the hanging in his voice, he summoned:

"Please ask His Royal Highness King Xuan to meet you!"

King Xuan knelt on the ground to receive the order, and kowtowed three times outside the door, and said respectfully:

"Son's Command!"

King Xuan stepped on the small steps, carrying the hem of the purple gold python robe, and cautiously stepped into the door.

"Sons and daughters, please St. Ann! Is the Holy Bow well? ”

After speaking, he didn't get up for a long time, until he heard a "free courtesy" from the dragon couch where Emperor Jing was lying.

"Thank you, Father!"

King Xuan solemnly put his clothes away, straightened the corners of his clothes and sideburns, and then paced to the side of the dragon couch.

I saw my father, who was lingering on the sickbed, overnight, as if he was suddenly old and haggard, he was concerned and asked:

"My father slept all night, but was he better? Did the doctor say what is the problem? ”

"It's not a big deal, it's just a recurrence of my old disease! It's already much better. ”

Emperor Jing replied to him briefly, with a hint of businesslike coldness in his tone.

"Erchen had been hanging his heart just now, and as soon as he received the news, he rushed to the palace, and now he sees that his father is safe and sound. My father has just woken up, but what do you want to eat? Do you have a decoction to take? I'm going to fetch it for you. ”

King Xuan thoughtfully and thoughtfully inquired about his father's needs, and as he spoke, he was about to get up.

It's strange to say, how to interact with people and capture people's hearts has always been his Lu Shang's housekeeping skills.

However, as long as these mental skills are in front of Emperor Jing, they will always lose their skills.

It is rumored that they are the same kings and ministers, and the father and son are of the same heart. Only he knows that between him and his father, there have always been mountains and seas.

From childhood to adulthood, the awkward and cold atmosphere like today's has been staged thousands of times, and he often doesn't know what to do.

He has never been a perfunctory person, but every time he is alone with his father, he just wants to complete the task hastily and leave quickly.

The same is true today. The father and son of the monarch and the minister, in the same room, if there is a queen mother to mediate, it should be better, even if it is a person who is not familiar with each other, as long as there is a third person present!

He didn't have to think about it to know that at this moment, Emperor Jing's eagle-like keen and majestic eyes were shooting towards him, like a thorn in his back, making him at a loss.

The air in the imperial study of the East Warm Pavilion dropped to freezing point in an instant, which was very embarrassing! Quiet horrible! It scared him!

He only felt that his scalp was numb, and under the guise of getting medicine for his father, he just wanted to escape quickly and breathe a breath of fresh air outside!

"Stop!"

Emperor Jing's voice came through his ears, like a thunderbolt exploding, although the reprimand voice was very low, it was enough to shake his tiger body!

"Yes, Father!" King Xuan had no choice but to kneel down again by the dragon couch.

"I ask you, can the Jiang family's extermination case be related to you? The murder weapon they found was the lancet, but the female swordsman under your door? ”

Emperor Jing's sharp eyes burst out, forcing him to look at King Xuan, making his heart furious.

"That knife was indeed lost by a doorman from my house, and she was supposed to send it to the armory shop for repair, but she didn't expect it to be stolen by thieves and used as a murder weapon. Erchen believes that Jingzhao Mansion has found out the truth, and this matter was committed by a woman in a Qinglou, and it has nothing to do with the doorman in Erchen's Mansion. ”

King Xuan lowered his head and didn't dare to look into Emperor Jing's eyes, his heart was already trembling, and he replied.

"You look up into my eyes, and answer me! Did she lose the knife on purpose? Did you buy her from Qinglou? Do you have any friends with the Cao Gang? How much do you know about this, and how much are you involved in? Say! ”

Emperor Jing looked at his embarrassed appearance, and his heart was even more suspicious, staring at King Xuan, and asked a few words sharply.

The seeds of suspicion that were originally planted by the crown prince sprouted and broke through the ground in an instant, dancing out of Emperor Jing's heart, and turning into sharp thorns, making King Xuan feel like a fish in his throat.

This series of problems, like thunder and lightning, tsunamis and landslides, in an instant, shook King Xuan's heart to the ground, and the wind and rain were terrible.

He couldn't help but stumble backwards and almost collapsed!

He settled down, held on to the edge of the dragon couch and straightened his waist again. When the center of gravity was stable again, and when he raised his head again, a trace of blood was already dripping from his lips.

He bit his lower lip vigorously, met Emperor Jing's penetrating and sharp gaze, and replied categorically:

"The retainer is wronged! The case has been ascertained, and the lancet was accidentally stolen! Although Wushuang was bought back from Tianxiang Building, she had just been sold when I rescued her, not to mention that it was ten years ago! Moreover, she has no contact with the murderer! And the Cao Gang, I don't know each other! ”

Emperor Jing stared at him silently for a few seconds, and saw that his eyes did not dodge, and his mouth did not flicker, so he relaxed the vigilance in his eyes a little, and then asked:

"Some people say that there are people in the territory of the Cao Gang who are privately stationed in armor, what do you think of this matter?"

As soon as the words "Private Soldier Armor" came out, King Xuan's body trembled slightly, and his face turned pale.

The weight of these words, as a royal prince who is familiar with the laws of Dajing, he couldn't be clearer!

The father asked him like this, it seems that he is suspicious of him!

You don't have to think about it to know that he has such a predicament today, and he must have nothing to do with the prince!

When I met him in the main hall just now, he looked triumphant and overjoyed.

At that time, he began to be mentally prepared, and there may be a storm waiting for him in front of him!

But he never expected that the suspicion blurted out by his father would be completely from the position of the prince!

Although he is also accustomed to his father's preference for the crown prince, this time he carefully planned, with both the case statement as an endorsement and the courtiers working together to assist, his father still only listened to the prince's side of the story!

For more than half a month, he arranged troops, and finally took advantage of the reason for the investigation of the Jiang family's extermination case, and took the closing statement written by Lu Chengfeng and Wu Jingmo as the fuse, and then mobilized a group of officials from Yushitai, as well as some officials in the court who had always been good friends, to collectively impeach the prince.

originally thought that all preparations had been made, and this started a big battle of bullets.

Even the time to blow the horn of this war was carefully deployed by him and the think tank, and it was deliberately selected during the period when the emperor sealed the pen before the year.

During this period, they deliberately made the case brief and the impeachment reference document be submitted together, which has achieved twice the result with half the effort.

In the impeachment of the officials, the eight major crimes of the prince were clearly listed, including bad words and deeds, long-term immorality, filling private pockets, and so on.

As long as it is the first day of the new year, as soon as my father opens his pen, he can immediately feel the seriousness of this matter! The ministers criticized, and the flames were surging!

What's more, the first day of the Lunar New Year is the day of the palace ban formulated by the ancestors, and all people from the royal family are not allowed to leave the palace without permission! No one outside the palace can enter the four gates of the southeast, northwest, and palace!

The prince who has lived in the deep palace for a long time, on the first day of the new year, I am afraid that he will not even be able to get out of his Chonghua East Palace, let alone the four gates of the entire palace!

In this way, he could neither move Zhiduo Xingyue into the palace to put out the fire, nor could he personally go out of the palace to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask for countermeasures!

It's a perfect solution!

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

He came here today to respectfully ask St. Ann to fulfill his filial piety, but also to test his father's tone, and then add a torch to the upcoming spring breeze.

Unexpectedly, it is he who is in a predicament now! In vain, I was smart all my life, and I have always been able to pinch and calculate, but now I am cocooning myself!
