The undercurrent of the royal capital 041, sowing discord

After another two days, Cui Yi couldn't sit still, and the teacup in his hand was picked up and put down, put down and up, and he didn't drink two sips until it was cold.

The Wen Po who was invited before has calculated for Zhiying, and she was almost born in the past two days, if nothing else, the older young man Wu Wang Ye will be a father.

But the sky was unsatisfactory, and when he was full of joy and apprehension, waiting for the birth of his first child, a thunderbolt from a sunny day split him.

After the morning of that day, the civil and military officials left the Ming Hall in an orderly manner, the crown prince Cui Jie walked in the front, Cui Yi walked a few steps slower, absentmindedly walked behind, behind Cui Huan Cui Jing and other half-brothers, some talked to each other, and walked to the place where the carriage and horses were parked together.

"By the way, Second Emperor Brother, I heard that Wen Yu is now a guest in your mansion, so when he is free, he will also come to sit with me?" Cui Huan suddenly accosted him, "He is really, he has been in the capital for so long, and he doesn't say hello to me." ”

Cui Yi's brows furrowed imperceptibly, and he stopped and looked back at him: "Baili Wenyu? Do you recognize him? ”

Cui Huan looks like his mother, much more delicate than his brothers, even if he is wearing a court dress, he exudes a bookish atmosphere from head to toe, and in front of this tall and mighty second brother, he looks more and more weak and tall. Cui Huan smiled mockingly, and said, "How can you not recognize me, didn't he mention me to the second emperor brother?" Ah, most of it is to avoid suspicion, so let's go ahead when I haven't said anything today. ”

He was not polite to say that, and as soon as he gave up his hand, he boarded his own carriage.

Cui Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes were as dangerous as a wolf smelling blood, Cao Qian led the horse over: "Lord Wang? ”

"Wait a minute." Cui Yi raised his palm and motioned him to wait for a while, and strode back.

The eldest grandson Tai was chatting with a few colleagues, and Cui Yi strode forward and stopped him: "Eldest grandson, please stay." ”

As soon as several civil officials saw that it was him, they all consciously closed their voices and retreated silently, and the eldest grandson Tai first glanced nervously in the direction where Cui Jie was, and saw that he didn't seem to notice this, so he asked a little carefully: "What does the prince command?" ”

Cui Yi asked expressionlessly: "How did the eldest grandson Taifu know about Bailizan in the first place?" ”

Eldest Sun Tai was visibly confused: "Bailizan? The minister did not know such a person. ”

Cui Yi's eyes on the other side widened almost instantly, and the eldest grandson Tai was startled, and after taking two steps back, he said in a panic: "The prince is angry, the minister really doesn't know a person named Bailizan, is there anything wrong with this person?" ”

“…… No, this king is just asking casually. After Cui Yi squeezed out this sentence from between his teeth, he turned his head angrily and left.

Back at the stable, Cao Qian waited with a questioning face, Cui Yi turned over on his horse, and ordered in a cold tone: "This king has something to go out of the city, you don't have to follow." Although Cao Qian saw that his face was strange, as a confidant, he naturally knew when to ask and when not to ask, so he was ordered to return to Xiying alone.

Cui Yi rode out of the city on a golden crow, and Ben went all the way in the direction of Gong County, intending to go to Bailizan's fellow villagers to ask what was going on, but after walking most of the way, there was no noise in his ears, but he gradually calmed down, and realized that he was willing to go far away - why bother to go to Gong County, if you want to find Bailizan's fellow villagers, go directly to Yushitai to find Cheng Fengyi's Xianggong Zhai Rang?

It's just that Cui Yi has seen Zhai Rang only a handful of times, and it took a lot of effort to dig out the name of the person in his mind, this person and Bailizan are not only fellow villagers, but also classmates, according to Zhai Rang's words, the two are like brothers and sisters, so if Bailizan met Cui Huan in the past, Zhai Rang will not know.

So Cui Yi turned the horse's head and returned to Zizhang to find Zhai Rang.

Zhai Rang confirmed Cui Huan's words, a few years ago, after Bailizan's first township test failed, there was indeed a young man from other towns who often came to Gong County to find him, Zhai Rang had seen that person a few times, and he had almost forgotten about his appearance, only remembering that the person was young and handsome, polite and polite, and his accent was from the capital, probably a friend who met in the same exam.

The acquaintance with Bailizan was not Changsun Tai, but Cui Huan! This hit Cui Yi hard, so that all his previous cognitions had to be overturned and restarted, without the pedal of Changsun Tai, how did Zhiying know Bailizan, and why did he recommend him to himself, what is the ulterior secret of Bailizan staying in the palace - Cui Yi feels that his brain is unprecedentedly chaotic.

When he returned to the palace, it was already evening, Xie Yong passed by the front yard, and when he saw his lost soul, he couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Lord Wang...... Did something go wrong? ”

Cui Yi raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were fierce, Xie Yong shivered fiercely, and when he was about to run away with oil on the soles of his feet, Cui Yi stopped him again: "Stop." This king has something to ask you. ”

Xie Yong had no choice but to turn around and say with a stiff expression: "Lord Wang, please speak." ”

"You and Baili agree to live in a side hospital, can we usually have contacts?"

"This ...... Mr. Baili was either not in the mansion or in the main courtyard, and the grass people had little contact with him. ”

Cui Yi's eyebrows jumped, and uneasiness crawled all over his heart like a dark cloud.

He repeated slowly: "Bailizan often goes to the main courtyard? ”

Xie Yong lowered his head and shrunk his shoulders, and replied cautiously: "I heard from the people in the house, Mr. Baili and Mrs. have a deep friendship, and the housemate accidentally injured Mrs. in the side courtyard that day, or Mr. carried Mrs. back to the main courtyard." ”

Just this sentence completely ignited the powder keg.

After Zhiying got up angrily and left, Cui Yi was also very angry, and turned his head to go to the side courtyard to clean up Bailizan.

And Bailizan had the foresight, he didn't need Cui Yi to look for it, he just stood in the courtyard obediently and waited, and when he saw Cui Yi blowing into the side courtyard like a whirlwind, he respectfully arched his hand: "Lord Wang." ”

Cui Yi rushed up like a tiger descending the mountain, dragged the person to him with his clothes, and shouted angrily: "Bailizan, you brute! Infiltrating the palace is to do these shady deeds! This king is really blind to believe you bastard with a knife in his smile! "When you talk about raising your fist, you're going to beat someone.

"Lord slow down!" Cao Qian, who was chased back by the little maid, saw this scene when he entered the door and hurriedly came up to stop him.

"Get out of here!" Cui Yi flew up and kicked the person away, and Cao Qian rolled out a long way with a grunt, almost being kicked and vomiting blood.

Baili praised it without avoiding or earning, and said calmly: "If you don't sin and be imprisoned, it's for you to be stupid, if the prince wants to beat me, do you want to tell me the reason first?" ”

Cui Yi's eyes were red with anger, and he roared almost hysterically: "You still have the face to ask why this king beat you?" What are you running to the main court every day while the king is not in the house? Don't think that this king can be deceived by you for a lifetime, the third child sent you to monitor this king, you and Zhiying are both spies buried by the prince in the palace! The rhetoric will turn around the king's play, you guys have a good time! ”

Cao Qian had never seen him lose his temper so much, so he hurriedly got up from the ground and said loudly: "The prince has mercy!" Mrs. and Mr. are all dedicated to planning for the prince and doing their best, the prince must not listen to the villain's slander and misjudge the loyalty and treachery! ”

Cui Yi roared angrily: "Shut up! ”

"The third? The Three Princes? Bailizan was the only calm person at this time, he caught the cause of the incident from Cui Yi's words, and immediately started to think, "The prince said that the third prince sent me, who did he listen to, and what evidence is there?" ”

Cui Yi roared: "You and the third child have known each other for a long time, and this king has personally asked Zhai Rang, you have known each other for a long time!" If it weren't for the heart of harming this king, how could he be willing to go far and come to this king's mansion to be a little guest! ”

Bailizan looked inexplicable: "Zicheng said that I know the third prince?" How could he say that, I don't even know what the third prince looks like, how can I know him? ”

Cui Yi sneered and said: "Now you still have to pretend to be garlic, don't you think that this king has no evidence?" The third child personally admitted that he knew you, and Zhai Zicheng also testified that nine years ago, after you failed in the township test, a son-in-law from the capital often came to look for you, do you dare to say that it is not the truth? ”

Bailizan was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "That person is the third prince?" ”

"Zhai Rang said that you talked very happily, how could you not know who he was."

"This ...... The man only said that he was a character, and did not reveal his surname, let alone mention that he was the prince, I really don't know! ”

The third prince, Cui Huan, has the word Shuyao, and the two characters and eight poles of Fu Zhi can't be beaten together, Cui Yi said coldly: "This is just your one-sided words, who can decide whether it is true or not?" ”

Baili praised: "But the prince, even if I have known the third prince for a long time, and I am an undercover agent sent by him, then the third prince should be too late to cover up, how can he admit to knowing me in person?" What's the purpose of being so self-defeating? ”

Cui Yi: "......"

Cao Qian: "......"

Baili sighed in admiration, straightened his clothes, and said: "It's a counter-plan, the purpose is to provoke discord within the Wuwang Mansion, the prince shouldn't listen to it on impulse, if it wasn't for General Cao rushing back to stop the prince for a while, the prince killed me in anger, even if it was too late to find the loophole later, then it will really be the heart of the third prince." ”

"But how are you going to explain the fact that Zhiying recommended you to this king?" Cui Yi still does not give up, for men, spies are not terrible, but green hats are terrible.

"To be honest," Bailizan's expression was sincere, "I also asked Madame this question, Madame is a deep boudoir woman, and I am new to the capital, and I have no reputation in the past, how did Madame find me." ”

Cui Yi's face was not good: "What did she say?" ”

Bailizan replied: "Madame said that it is because the eldest grandson often mentions me, and is ready to find an opportunity to introduce me to the prince, but I never recognize the eldest grandson ......."

Cui Yi exhaled a breath of turbidity, and his head was as big as a bucket: "Eldest Sun Tai also said that he didn't recognize you." ”

For a while, the three people in the courtyard looked at me, and I looked at you, but they couldn't untie this dead button.

"Maybe Madame heard of me from someone else?" Bailizan tried to find a reasonable explanation, "It's only because that person's identity is special and inconvenient to disclose, so it is inferred that it is the appreciation of the eldest grandson." ”

Cui Yi glanced over coldly: "I know that you are talented and have a special identity, is it the mysterious young man named Fu Zhi?" If he wasn't the third, who would he be? ”

Bailizan shook his head abruptly: "This point can't be clarified now, but if the prince can trust me, I have a plan to find out whether the third prince is him or not." ”

"Tell me about it."

After the next day, Cui Yi stopped the third brother Cui Huan and said: "Yesterday I went back and asked Wen Yu, Wen Yu said that he had not seen the third brother for many years, but he was afraid that the feelings would be separated, so he never went to the house to visit, today it happened that Cao Qian was on leave, he came with him to lead the horse, you can chat a few words when you meet in a while, if you want to go out for a drink or two cups together, I have never been confined to the people in the house." ”

Cui Huan happily agreed: "That's the best, thank you Second Emperor Brother." ”

The two walked to the stable together, because they were one step slower, most of the other princes' cars had left, only Jin Wu was still left in the stable, a scholar with a scarf holding the reins, chatting with a guard, Cui Huan stepped forward with a spring breeze on his face: "Brother Wenyu, don't come unharmed?" ”

The scholar turned his head and saw that it was him, first a little confused, and then suddenly realized, and hurriedly knelt down: "The grass people have eyes but no beads, please forgive the prince!" ”

Cui Huan graciously stepped forward and picked him up, and said with a smile: "Brother Wenyu, what do you say, the person you know is just Fu Zhi, not the prince and prince, why do you bother to make this big gift?" ”

"The Third Prince?" The guard lifted his helmet and said coldly, "It's Baili Wenyu down there." ”

At that moment, Cui Huan's face was even more spectacular than the fireworks during the New Year.
