Returning to the capital again, Chi Wan felt a little emotional.

When she left, she thought that she would never have a chance to come back, but she didn't expect that the world was impermanent, and the fact she thought was not the truth, perhaps, leaving this trip was a good thing for her.

Chi Wan opened the curtain and looked at the lively capital as in the past, and her mood was quite complicated.

"Why, you've only been away for a few months, and you don't recognize the capital?" The Nine Princes asked jokingly.

The two of them rode in the same carriage and came back all the way, because of their close relationship, they almost misunderstood the subordinates of the Nine Princes, and thought that this was their future princess, and they were very respectful to Chi Wan, which made Chi Wan embarrassed.

Later, I didn't know if the Nine Princes said something, so they dispelled this idea.

Chi Wan smiled noncommittally, "It's a bit unreal, many of the people on the border side have been displaced because of the war, but the capital is so peaceful, the contrast is obvious." ”

The Nine Princes said with a straight face, "After all, the capital is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if even the people of the capital have to leave their hometowns, then Dongxuan is already a mansion that will collapse." ”

Chi Wan was stunned, "It's me who lost my words." ”

The Ninth Prince waved his hand, "But what you said is not unreasonable, so, whether it is for the common people or for us idlers, if we can not start a war, it is naturally the best to be stable." ”

What he said was a little meaningful, and Chi Wan always felt that there was something in the words of the Nine Princes.

She was just about to ask, but the carriage suddenly stopped, and Chi Wan glanced out and found that she had arrived at the mansion of the Ninth Prince in the capital.

Chi Wan swallowed the words into her stomach again, picked up the hood next to her and put it on, now that she has arrived in the capital, there are many people who know her, and she can no longer be as free as before.

After returning to the house for a short rest, the Nine Princes summoned his subordinates who stayed here to hide people's eyes, "During the time that this king left, did anything happen?" ”

His subordinates pondered for a moment, "Not long after the prince left, His Majesty sent someone over to inquire about his condition, and his subordinates sent him away according to your instructions. ”

"Brother Huang didn't say anything?"

"No, however, later, His Majesty sent a lot of tonic herbs over."

The Ninth Prince bowed slightly, and while the two were talking, the porter hurriedly came to report, "Lord Wang, Your Majesty has sent someone over again." ”

"Let people in, this king has been sick for so long, and he should be fine."

The person who came was a little eunuch, who first asked for peace, and then cared about the physical condition of the ninth prince, and then said, "Your Majesty is very worried about the prince, now that the prince is very good, Your Majesty can finally rest assured." ”

"Thank you Brother Huang for your concern, you go back and tell Brother Huang that I will go into the palace tomorrow to greet him." The Nine Princes said softly, he was rushed back from the dust, and his face was really a little bad, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

"That's very good, the minion will go back and report it." The little eunuch hurried away. The Nine Princes stared at the figure of the little eunuch, sitting upright for a long time and not moving.

Seeing that the ninth prince looked bad, his subordinates hurriedly asked, "Lord, what's wrong?" ”

The Ninth Prince shook his head thoughtfully, "It's okay." He was just a little blocked in his heart, and the imperial brother still refused to believe him, and sent people over and over again to check, which was really chilling.

Expelling the messy thoughts in his mind, the Ninth Prince straightened his expression and looked at his subordinates, "If there are any important things in the capital recently, you can tell me everything." ”

The subordinates told the Nine Princes about the accidents of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households, and finally said, "Lord, the subordinates see, there seems to be something wrong here, how can it be so coincidental, the two adults have such a big thing in less than half a month." ”

The Nine Princes knew that this matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, but he didn't say much, only said, "They are not standing upright, and sooner or later something will happen, it's just a bit of a coincidence." ”

After a pause, he asked again, "What did the imperial brother say?" ”

"It is said that His Majesty was particularly angry, ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, and beheaded the son of the official Shangshu." Men report one by one.

The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households, one in charge of the promotion channels of officials, and the other in charge of the treasury of the imperial court, are all people who need to be firmly held by the emperor, and these two people, who also happen to be the emperor's people, will there be such a coincidence?

The Nine Princes rubbed the tea cup in his hand and did not make a sound for a long time. He couldn't help but think of the battle with Chengguo again, and according to the information he had gathered, Xie Yutang had been commanding the troops remotely.

Why would General Zuo listen to him? Obviously, General Zuo and Xie Yutang were standing together, and the poor emperor was sitting in that position, ignorant of the outside affairs, and thought that everything was in his own hands.

The more the Nine Princes thought about it, the more jealous Xie Yutang became, this person was still in prison, so he had such a lot of energy, so he has not come out of prison so far, obviously it is not that he can't come out, but he doesn't want to come out.

What is he brewing, will he want to steal the past?

This is also the question that the Nine Princes think about the most along the way.

On the second day, in order to prevent the emperor from sending someone over again, the ninth prince decided to enter the palace and meet Xie Yutang by the way. Considering the relationship between Chi Wan and Xie Yutang, the Nine Princes decided to bring her over as well.

However, Chi Wan's face was a big problem, and the Nine Princes pondered for a while and had an idea.

"Lord Wang, what is this?" Chi Wan looked at the things in the hands of the Nine Princes, the thing that was as thin as a cicada's clothes, how could it look like a face, it was too penetrating.

"It's people. Leather mask, you have already died people, can not show up in the capital, nor can you wear a hood all the time, that will be the target is greater, put this person. Wear a leather mask, and it is easier to go out. ”

Chi Wan took it, looked at it and couldn't help but sigh, she had only heard of this thing before, but she had never touched it, and she didn't expect that there was indeed a person who made it. Skin so close to the mask.

Chi Wan will be people. The leather mask was put on the face, and soon it turned from a face that everyone was amazed to an ordinary woman who could not be more ordinary.

The Ninth Prince looked at it for a while and nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, no one can recognize it now." ”

Ji Wan grinned, her expression was natural, and there was no abnormality in the slightest.

"From now on, you are my maidservant, I am going to enter the palace today, you can go with me." The Nine Princes understated the authenticity.

Chi Wan was taken aback, entering the palace? With her current status, can she really enter the palace?

As if to see what she was thinking, the Nine Princes explained, "You have someone on your face. Leather mask, no one can recognize it, after entering the palace, I have to go to the prison to meet Xie Yutang, you really don't want to go with me? ”

Ji Wan's heart was moved. She naturally wanted to see Xie Yutang, after coming out for so long, she wished she could see him immediately, and she didn't know how he was doing alone in the prison.

Thinking about it like this, Chi Wan no longer refused.

After arriving in the palace, the Nine Princes went to see the emperor first.

"Brother to the royal brother to say goodbye." The Nine Princes bowed and saluted.

The emperor has been a little anxious by the successive incidents that have broken out recently, and the ministers are also noisy, and he is very irritable. After seeing the Nine Princes, his expression was a little more relaxed.

"Ninth brother, are you feeling better, I see, you have lost a lot, how do those people around you serve you?" The emperor frowned a little unhappily, and he looked like he was very concerned about his younger brother.

The Ninth Prince said gently, "Brother Huang, the younger brother has been completely healed, thank you Brother Huang for your concern." ”

The emperor patted him on the shoulder, "Ninth brother, I haven't eaten with you for a long time, let's eat together today." ”

Naturally, the Nine Princes couldn't refuse. During this period, the Ninth Prince saw that the emperor's expression was not very good, so he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Brother Chen just learned that General Zuo won a complete victory, why is the imperial brother still in a bad mood?" ”

Hearing this, the emperor sighed, looked at the Nine Princes, and stopped talking with a face.

"Brother Huang, but what is the matter in the court? It's a pity that my brother is stupid and can't help you. The Nine Princes put down their chopsticks and sighed with self-reproach.

Seeing this, the emperor hooked the corners of his mouth, "It's okay, I can solve it." ”

The ninth prince didn't say anything more, the emperor was very taboo for him to meddle in the affairs of the court, so he has always only been an idle prince, and many things can not be mixed without mixing, but even so, the emperor is still wary of him and has never been able to trust him.

After finishing the meal, the Nine Princes retired, but he did not go back directly, but took Chi Wan to the prison.

Thinking that she was about to see Xie Yutang, Chi Wan was inexplicably a little nervous, but her steps were so hurried and fast that she almost surpassed the Nine Princes.

The Nine Princes looked funny, and said leisurely, "Your current identity is my maidservant, go to the front, I'm afraid it's not suitable." ”

Chi Wan came to her senses at this time, and her steps paused, and crimson quietly climbed up her cheeks.

The Ninth Prince shook his head, and then felt very envious of this feeling, if there is a woman who is also looking forward to himself, then he will definitely be very happy, but, where will that person be?

"This king can see that you miss General Xie very much, but this king has to remind you that you can only see him as he is now, not his original appearance, can you accept it?"

"Nature." Chi Wan said without hesitation, she was already angry in her heart, and she was angry that Xie Yutang didn't tell her anything, but pressed it in her heart, preferring to let herself misunderstand.

What did he think of himself, and when Chi Wan thought of this, she became angry. I also want to take this opportunity to punish Xie Yutang for his stubbornness.

The Nine Princes didn't know what happened between them, and they didn't think about going over to investigate, and when they saw that Chi Wan agreed, they didn't say anything anymore, but raised their feet and took the lead in walking forward.

In the prison, the smell was as bad as ever, dark and damp, and the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

When the cell leader and the jailer saw the Ninth Prince, they greeted him very warmly, "Lord, why did you come to such a place?" ”
