Yonghe Palace.

The news of the fire outside the city was like a bleak autumn wind, drifting to the palace with a chill, and the entire Yonghe Palace was brightly lit.

A woman reclined on the concubine's floor, her long inky hair hanging down her shoulders, and her open tulle shawl was slightly open, revealing the blue placket inside.

The closed eyes suddenly opened, radiating a sharp, cold light.

"What are you talking about? The fire outside the palace was set by King Xuan. ”

Jin Zhi nodded and said cautiously, "His Royal Highness King Xuan not only set fire to the disaster area outside the city, but also sent a killer to assassinate the King of Chu. ”

Concubine Lin's pupils constricted, and she suddenly sat up from the chaise longue.

"This thing that doesn't know whether to live or die, is really getting bolder, and he doesn't even discuss such a big matter with me. Concubine Lin's eyes were cracked, and she gritted her teeth.

"The reconstruction of the disaster area outside the city is the most important thing for the emperor, if he leaks the slightest rumor, he will not want to be the prince. ”

The palm of her hand slapped on the sandalwood table with a dull sound, and Concubine Lin reached out and touched the white jade Guanyin statue on the small table next to her, and was about to smash it to the ground.

"This Guanyin statue is going to be given to the queen's mother, so you can't just smash it. Jinzhi hurriedly rushed forward, blocked the front with his body, and hurriedly said with a crying voice.

"If the master is angry in his heart, he will beat the slave and maid, this Guanyin seems to be impossible to fall. ”

Concubine Lin flicked her sleeves and threw the statue of Guanyin onto Jinzhi, her clenched hands still trembling.

Jinzhi hurriedly got up from the ground, put it in a place where Concubine Lin couldn't see, walked up to Concubine Lin and muttered quietly.

"Master, the slave maid thinks that His Royal Highness is not wrong to do this, now Concubine Cheng is deeply favored by the emperor, if the King of Chu takes the credit for disaster relief again, then His Royal Highness really has no chance. ”

"What do you know? At the moment, the person who has the best chance to ascend to the throne of the crown prince, except for the King of Chu, is Zheng'er, and now that the King of Chu has an accident, everyone will put the spearhead on Zheng'er. ”

Concubine Lin's expression was cold, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, "This is a trick for him to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, if the emperor is suspicious of him, then everything will be over." ”

"Then what should I do? Otherwise, the slave maid will send someone to find His Highness into the palace and discuss countermeasures together. ”

Jinzhi himself poured a cup of tea and served it with both hands, wanting Concubine Lin to dissipate her anger.

"Confused, if you summon King Xuan into the palace now, what will others think, won't our mother and son become the ones who conspired to frame the King of Chu. ”

Concubine Lin took a sip of tea, the corners of her mouth stiffened, and she said coldly.

"So what should we do now?" Jinzhi panicked for a moment, standing in place at a loss.

"Go and inquire and see if the King of Chu is still alive. Concubine Lin straightened her face, and there was a faint cold light in her eyes.

"Master, are we going to stop His Highness from assassinating the King of Chu?" Jinzhi raised his head and asked puzzled.

"Stop? The thing has been done, what is the use of stopping it now, since it has been scareless, then it must never be troubled. Concubine Lin's eyes were like hooks, and her sharp eyes were dyed with murderous aura.

"Wei Jingyao is delicate, Zheng'er sent someone to set fire, I'm afraid that he has been caught by him, if he dies, it's okay to say, but if he lives, Zheng'er's future road will be difficult. ”

The cyan curtains rippled in the wind, and the figure on the chaise longue gradually blurred.

Xuanwangfu.

The bright moonlight poured over the high eaves of the temple, and after the fire, even the moon peeked out of the dark clouds and streaked across the delicate turrets.

The four corners of the room are marble pillars, and the walls carved from white stone bricks reflect the light of the moon, and the long-burning lanterns in the distance dispel the darkness of the night.

"His Royal Highness has strategized to win a thousand miles, and the officials admire it. Tobe took his glass and drank it down, the smile on his face so deep that his small eyes narrowed into a slit.

"If it weren't for Lord Shen to do a good job in advance, how could this arson go so smoothly, it is this king who wants to thank Lord Shen for being right. Wei Zheng tugged at the corners of his mouth and raised his wine glass.

Although the person in front of him is not shrewd, he is quite capable of doing things, and he will not be so easy if he keeps revealing Wei Jingyao's recent situation to himself.

"Xia Guan is just doing his best, it's really nothing, or the prince planned it properly, even if the king of Chu can count someone arson, but he would never have imagined that the prince would set an ambush on his way out of the city. ”

The household servant waved his hand again and again, looking like a flattering villain, and he frowned as he spoke, "The lower official is just afraid that this incident with the king of Chu will implicate His Royal Highness." ”

"With the shield of the abolished prince, what is there to be afraid of this king. Wei Zheng snorted coldly.

"When Wei Jingyao dies, the king will release the news, saying that Wei Jue was deposed as the crown prince, and Wei Jingyao single-handedly planned to lead all the spearheads to the abolished prince. ”

The matter of abolishing the crown prince is the emperor's rebellion, and once the king of Chu has a relationship with him, even if he is not guilty, it will become a serious crime.

"Hahaha, the prince is really scheming, the lower officials are really admired, a small trap trapped the king of Chu and the abolished prince in it. Tobe Squire smiled brightly.

After three rounds of drinking, Wei Zheng's consciousness was a little blurred, and the people in front of him changed from one to two, and he couldn't see it really in a trance.

It seems that he hasn't drunk so much for a long time, and when he thinks of Wei Jingyao's current situation, Wei Zheng can't help the joy in his heart.

No matter how shrewd he is, even if Xie Fuyao gives him advice, in the end, it is not planted in his own hands.

It is a pity that such a shrewd woman does not stay by her side.

The first few times because Wei Jingyao stopped her, she didn't succeed, but now that Wei Jingyao has an accident, see who can take care of her, this woman herself is bound to win.

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang is not good, something is wrong!"

A little guy staggered in from outside the door, and after seeing the Tobe waiter next to him, he decisively closed his mouth and gestured to Wei Zheng with his eyes.

"Lord Shen is not an outsider, just say anything directly. Wei Zheng was a little drunk now, half-supporting his forehead and leaning on the edge of the table.

"The people we sent to set the fire were caught by the king of Chu, and they seemed to have expected that we would send someone to set the fire. ”

Lai Xi said tremblingly, secretly glancing at Wei Zheng's expression with his spare eyes.

"They remained motionless until all of our men were exposed, when a crowd of men suddenly rushed out around and surrounded the brothers, and they were all captured alive. ”

Wei Zheng suddenly opened his eyes, his heart was shocked, he was completely drunk, and a thin layer of sweat was stained on his back.

"What about Wei Jingyao, is he dead?" Wei Zheng stood up, grabbed Lai Xi's collar, and held him in his hand.
