Chapter 273: Jade Seal
What is not taken seriously?
Chi Wan's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands and said, "I know, it's in the imperial study, and the jade seal is in the imperial study!" ”
It was precisely because people came and went every day in the imperial study that the prince did not suspect it.
Xie Yutang nodded with a smile, his grace was so smart.
Chi Wan twisted her eyebrows and analyzed, "The most dangerous place is the safest place, the prince is suspicious by nature, but in fact, he thinks about the problem too complicated, and what he wants is in the imperial study." ”
The emperor did this precisely because he grasped his mind. It's a pity that the prince was too conceited and didn't think about it in the imperial study.
"Xie Yutang, do you think what I said is right?" Chi Wan's eyes were shining as she looked at Xie Yutang, as bright as the stars in the sky.
Xie Yutang almost drowned in it, but he remembered that he still had something to do, so he withdrew in time, coughed lightly, and glanced to the side with his eyes, "Yes, I think so too." ”
Chi Wan looked a little excited, since they already knew that it was a jade seal hidden inside, then they naturally had to take it out, otherwise what if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came back one day and found the jade seal before them, it would really be powerless.
"Shall we go to the study now?" Chi Wan asked Xie Yutang with a raised face.
Xie Yutang pinched her cheek and smiled dotingly, "I can't get in." ”
After pinching, he felt that the hand felt really good, and his fingers were reluctantly twisted, Chi Wan noticed his movements, and a trace of crimson appeared in the corners of his eyes, and the small piece of skin that had been pinched by Xie Yutang quickly became hot and hot, and his face suddenly turned red to the base of his neck.
"What's wrong, why is your face so hot?" Xie Yutang pretended to be concerned.
Chi Wan saw the smile in his eyes and thought, why is this person so bad, she glared at Xie Yutang fiercely, but unfortunately, her eyes were watery, coupled with her white skin, not only would it not make people afraid, but it also made Xie Yutang's heart tighten, and he wished that those eyes were looking at him all the time.
She turned around angrily and ignored Xie Yutang, who told him to tease himself on such an occasion.
Xie Yutang was secretly annoyed and teased, but he was not in a hurry, he walked over to apologize, and said that he shouldn't be like this, if Chi Wan was angry, he could pinch it back, and he would never fight back.
Ji Wan glared at him hatefully, "I won't be so boring." ”
"Yes, yes, I'm bored. Let's get down to business. "Xie Yutang's attitude is very good.
Chi Wan pursed her lips arrogantly, "You still know what to do." ”
"Of course I do, Wanwan don't be mad at me, huh?" Her voice was low and deep, and this sentence was almost close to Chi Wan's ear, she took a step back in panic, and her heart became crispy and numb while covering her ears.
Since he expressed his intentions, Xie Yutang has teased her from time to time, why didn't he see him so bad before, otherwise she wouldn't have ......
Chi Wan drooped her shoulders in frustration, even if she knew before, she couldn't hate Xie Yutang.
Clenched her fists, Chi Wan forcibly pulled the topic back, "How do you know if you can't get in if you don't try?" ”
"Naturally, there are the prince's people guarding the imperial study, and I am now his key defensive target, so I definitely can't get in, let alone look for things inside."
Chi Wan frowned a little distressedly, "Then what should I do, just let the prince and the queen continue to mess around like this, now the emperor is not dead, the queen has killed a lot of palace concubines, if the prince ascends the throne, it will be more than those few people who will die." ”
Thinking of this, Chi Wan couldn't help but shudder.
The personalities of this mother and son cannot be inferred from ordinary people, let them succeed in ascending to the throne, it is impossible to say, the King of Chu and his faction will all be finished, and the court will be purged.
Xie Yutang, as the most powerful subordinate of the King of Chu, was naturally the first to bear the brunt.
Thinking of the consequences, Chi Wan couldn't help but be even more anxious. Pulling Xie Yutang's sleeve and said, "Let's go find the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother was already very dissatisfied with the last time the Queen Mother killed someone, and she will definitely be on our side." ”
Xie Yutang sighed softly, not to mention that the Queen Mother hid when the prince forced the palace, and her whereabouts became a mystery, even if they found the Queen Mother, what could the Queen Mother do now?
The crown prince has come this far, and he will not change it because of the queen mother's opposition.
He touched Chi Wan's hair and said softly, "Do you really believe that the Queen Mother will stop if she makes a move?" ”
"At least, at least the Queen Mother can persuade him." Chi Wan also felt that this was impossible, things had come to this point, the prince stopped, and he was the one who died, "However, the queen mother is so good to the prince, and she has been spoiling him for so many years." ”
"So what, anything can be thrown away compared to that highest position."
Ji Wan felt a little uncomfortable.
Why should someone do anything that can be discarded just for their own selfishness?
Xie Yutang saw that she was stuck in the quagmire again, took her hand and patiently enlightened, "People are different from each other, some people like power, some people take family affection very seriously, born in the royal family, it is inevitable that all kinds of things will happen, Xiaowan, you have to know that the royal family has no feelings." ”
How could Chi Wan not understand this truth, let alone the royal family, even if it was in her family, there were not all kinds of problems. Like Chi Xia, she didn't always regard her as an enemy before. If there were fewer people like this in the world, there would be less trouble.
But she also knows that she is ridiculous, if everyone has no desires and no desires, then this society will not be like a society.
"I understand." Chi Wan finally let out a depressed breath, looked at Xie Yutang and asked, "Then where do we go now?" ”
I can't get into the imperial study, but fortunately, I came in this way, and I still found something useful, otherwise it would be too wronged.
Xie Yutang smiled and took Chi Wan's hand, "Go to the palace for a walk." ”
Chi Wan didn't understand what Xie Yutang meant, how could he still be in the mood to hang out at this time. Shouldn't you leave the palace immediately and discuss countermeasures?
However, she didn't object, and obediently followed behind Xie Yutang, as long as Xie Yutang wanted to do it, he should have his own reasons, after all, he was so smart. Speaking of which, Chi Wan's trust in Xie Yutang is still unconditional, and if he tells him, he should be very happy.
The two went to the imperial study first, and sure enough, they were still far away, so they were stopped, "This is the imperial study, don't approach if you have nothing to do!" ”
Xie Yutang didn't say anything, and left with Chi Wan.
It was Chi Wan, who said with some indignation, "That must be the prince's person, and he is too arrogant, and now he even controls the imperial study." ”
Xie Yutang looked calm, "It's normal, except for a few people in the court, they are basically the prince's people." ”
Then, the two went to other places, and there was only one feeling, the palace looked very depressed, and no longer satisfied with the excitement of the emperor's health, everyone was in a hurry, bowing their heads, and looked like they only did their own things, and they didn't need to take care of other things.
"What's going on?" Ji Wan had mixed feelings.
"The queen has killed a lot of people in the palace who are not dealing with her, and now everyone is in danger, how can it be the same as before?" Xie Yutang told her lightly.
"There is no palace concubine who has come out, there used to be a lot of people in this imperial garden, but now I only see flowers in the garden, and no one comes to pick them."
"Who dares to come and pick flowers, don't you want to die?"
In case she is bumped into by the queen, who knows what name she will come up with and kill people. For the sake of their lives, everyone is now in their own rooms, staying honestly.
Ji Wan sighed silently.
It seems that it is better to solve the crown prince and the queen as soon as possible, but they have no other way now, the imperial study can't enter, and the emperor can't see it.
Then, they went to the Queen Mother's palace again, saying that they went in to greet the Queen Mother. After the old lady went in to report, she came over and let people in, but Chi Wan is now a guard and can only stay outside.
Today's Cining Palace is a shell, the Queen Mother is not in it at all, and the prince ordered the palace people inside to be the Queen Mother in order to block the mouths of the people. When Xie Yutang entered, it was cleaned up in an orderly manner.
The old lady poured a cup of tea for Xie Yutang, "The Queen Mother is sick, and General Xie is afraid that he won't be able to see her old man today." ”
Xie Yutang took a sip of tea and looked at each other with sharp eyes, "Mama, I came here today, not to find the Queen Mother, but to find you." ”
"Looking for me?" Mama looked up in surprise.
"Where is the Queen Mother now?" Xie Yutang leaned over slightly, "Mama doesn't have to pretend to be stupid with me, I know that the Queen Mother is missing." ”
Hearing this, Mama was stunned for a moment, and after a long time, she said leisurely, "I can't hide it from the general, it's just that the queen mother and her old man have orders, and the old slave can't reveal it." ”
Xie Yutang's eyes were staring at Mama tightly, but the other party did not back down at all. If there is anyone in the palace who knows the whereabouts of the Queen Mother, then there is only this old lady, she is the Queen Mother's henchman, and the old man who followed the Queen Mother all the way from the palace concubine.
It is precisely because of this that the prince did not move her, once she made a mistake, then she really couldn't find the queen mother.
Xie Yutang also knew this, so he didn't force it anymore, and retreated with an indifferent smile.
Ji Wan was waiting outside, and when she saw him come out, she immediately greeted him and said, "How is it?" ”
Xie Yutang shook his head, "Mama refused to speak, probably because she was afraid of the safety of the Queen Mother, after all, the prince was also eyeing the queen mother, the matter has come to this point, we can only compare the speed with him, as long as we find the jade seal first, the prince's ascension to the throne will not be justified, and everything else can be pushed back." ”
Things are so grim that it's a little uneasy.
"I don't know where the crown princess went." Ji Wan said.
Xie Yutang said lightly, "The crown princess is fine, at least she is still the prince's concubine, no one dares to do anything to her now, don't worry about her for now, let's go out." ”
The two quickened their pace and walked towards the palace gate.
