At night, the Prince's Mansion.

An urgent report suddenly sounded, waking up everyone in the Prince's Mansion.

"What's so alarming?"

Being woken up from his sleep, Twilight Xiuran was very unhappy, he half-squinted his eyes, and let his henchmen help him put on his outer robe.

"Your Highness, the shadow is back."

So, I have to alarm you.

Hearing this, Twilight Xiu's eyes instantly cleared, and he pulled up his robe himself, and asked his henchmen to go out to call someone, and his tone was hurried, "Please." ”

The Shadow was his hidden guard, and he had been on a mission for more than a year, and there was no contact with him.

He had already said before that if he didn't find what he wanted, he wouldn't be able to contact him at will.

He can't go back to Beijing without authorization, and he can't enter his prince's mansion.

This time, is it ......

As he pondered, the guards had already brought in a dark shadow.

"Subordinate, see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Twilight Xiuran personally greeted him, "Hurry up." Immediately, he couldn't wait to ask, "But there's news?" ”

The shadow was dressed in black, and his whole body was wrapped in a huge black robe, and even his face was wearing a black mask, revealing only a pair of eyes.

At this moment, hearing Twilight Xiuran's inquiry, he briefly replied with a yes word, that is, he took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to Twilight Xiuran.

Twilight took it and opened it, and the smile on her face continued to grow.

"Is this news true?"

"The subordinates have been tracking the information they have obtained for more than a year, and it must be accurate."

Hearing this, the surprise on Twilight's face could no longer be restrained.

He stretched out his hand and gently patted the shadow on the shoulder, "You are worthy of being the most trusted person in this palace, and the news you get is the most useful." ”

"That's what subordinates should do."

"It's been a hard year for you, go back and rest, and wait for my instructions."

"The subordinates retired."

After the shadow left, Twilight Xiuran stopped sleeping and called the people around him, "What happened to the things I told you to do before?" ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, everything is in progress, and tomorrow, there will be results."

Twilight was pleased with the reply.

He held the scroll tightly in his hand, and his eyes were full of excitement.

"Your Highness, it's still early, go and rest."

Twilight Xiu Dye waved his hand, and when the interest came, he couldn't stop.

"Come with me to the study."

The guard beside him was slightly stunned, but nodded respectfully, "Yes." ”

This night, in the study of the prince's mansion, the lights were not extinguished.

Early the next morning, just after dawn, Twilight Xiu Dye was already dressed and set off towards the palace.

The door of the Jinluan Hall had not yet opened, and Twilight Xiuran stood at the door, his figure lonely.

As time progressed, the ministers of the DPRK and China arrived one after another.

When they saw the prince who had been waiting here for an unknown amount of time, they were all surprised.

You know, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never been absent from the early dynasty, he has never arrived early.

"The old minister looked at His Highness's face with joy, but something good happened?"

Some old ministers couldn't hold back their curiosity and frequently came up to ask.

However, Twilight Xiu's mouth was strict, and no matter what they said, they just couldn't know the slightest bit of information from his mouth.

And at this time, Qin Muhan finally arrived.

When he saw Qin Muhan, Twilight Xiuran rarely stepped forward to say hello.

Qin Muhan bowed slightly.

If it was in the past, when Du Xiuran saw Qin Muhan like this, he would definitely feel resentful.

But today, his face did not show the slightest displeasure......

This abnormal behavior made the people around him very confused.

However, all the abnormalities of the twilight cultivation were explained after the last dynasty.

After the eunuch announced that he had something to do and had nothing to do to retreat from the court, he was the first to stand up.

"Enlighten your father, and your sons and daughters have something to do."

In the face of this son, the emperor's eyes were very loving.

"What do I have to do?"

Twilight Xiuran glanced at Qin Muhan, and then handed over the memo that he had written for the night, and spoke at the same time, "Father, my son accidentally saw the nine-thousand-year-old Qin Muhan Lord Qin having business dealings with other countries, because he was curious, he inquired about it......"

When he said this, Du Xiuran glanced at Qin Muhan extremely provocatively, and the latter ...... But he didn't even lift his eyelids.

And Du Xiuran, who paid all his attention to Qin Muhan, did not notice the old emperor's originally careless movements, and after hearing this, he was much faster.

Even the old eunuch beside the emperor raised his eyelids slightly.

Twilight continued, "I was curious, but I didn't expect it to turn out to be unexpected. ”

At this moment, the emperor had already roughly glanced at the content, and in his eyes, a cold light appeared, and his voice was low, "The court does not stipulate that ministers are not allowed to do some small business without permission, even if the nine thousand years old do, then it will be done, why do you need to investigate him?" ”

"As my crown prince, everything you do is on behalf of the royal family, if you also make a big effort to investigate, and you don't know, and you still think that it is my will, then the ministers of the court and the central government, won't everyone be in danger?"

When he spoke, the emperor's words were already tinged with a hint of anger, and when Du Xiuran heard it, he became more and more excited, "Father knows what kind of business the nine thousand years old is doing. ”

"Your Majesty has already said that the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government can do some small business appropriately, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not the same, even so, why should he hold on to the ministers?"

Du Xiuran snorted coldly, ignored Qin Muhan's words, and said to himself, "Father, if it was just an ordinary business, the son would definitely not get it here, it is really a nine-thousand-year-old who is too disregarded of the king's law, and the crime is heavy. ”

"Oh, really?"

"Of course, Father ......"

"I've already seen it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't need to say much, how to deal with it, I have my own decision."

Twilight Xiuran investigated for a year, and stayed up all night writing a recital, how could she be satisfied with such a reply.

Even if he bowed down and said righteously, "Father, it is a great crime to sell weapons at the age of 9,000 without permission......"

As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of silence in the court, and then the sound of discussion sounded.

Twilight dye his lips, that's what he wants.

Buying and selling weapons is a big crime, and Qin Muhan is nine thousand years old, which is a controversial position.

When he buys and sells weapons, it makes people feel even more ...... The motive is impure and ill-intentioned.

Twilight Xiuran was very happy, now, even if his father wanted to protect Qin Muhan, he couldn't.

He looked sideways at Qin Muhan, but the latter only gave him a meaningful look, and there was no panic in his eyes.

Twilight frowned slightly, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.

Quietly looking up, he saw the emperor staring at him with a gloomy face.

This look......

How does it seem that he is wrong?

"Prince, is there any evidence for what you just said?"

Twilight Xiuran wanted to say that the evidence was conclusive, and even the location had been investigated.

But after coming into contact with the emperor's eyes and tone, it was ...... I can't say anything.

Things seemed to be a little different from what he thought.

What's wrong?

There is absolutely no mistake with the information, and there is absolutely no problem with the shadow......

So...... It's the weapon itself.

After thinking carefully about the emperor's attitude before and after, Twilight Xiuran's body trembled slightly.

Could it be that those weapons are actually ...... Father-emperor?

Just thinking that maybe it would be this possibility, Twilight Xiuran felt a great fear in her heart.

All kinds of rhetoric that have been thought of for a long time are not dared to say it at this moment.

Twilight Xiuran's eyes fluttered, "For the time being, not ...... yet"

"Since you don't, then why are you so sure?"

Twilight Xiuran was clearly aware that the emperor's tone was much better at the moment.

The guess in my heart became more and more obvious.

The weapon belonged to my father.

Qin Muhan was just secretly helping his father...... Recharge your batteries.

And he ......

actually told the details of his father and the emperor in front of everyone.

Because of the nervousness, fine beads of sweat appeared on Twilight's forehead.

My mind was spinning fast, and I just thought that I should find a remedy and get back what I said before.

"The son-in-law just said that there was a mistake, and I ask my father to forgive me."

"So, what are the facts?"

"Erchen then remembered what his subordinates said, the distance was too far away, and he didn't see it really, it was Erchen who listened to his subordinates' speculation, thinking that it was really a weapon, so he felt that the matter was big and too anxious, so he hurriedly came to report, disturbed his father, and asked his father to forgive his sins."

"Oh?" The emperor squinted his eyes and looked at Qin Muhan and Du Xiuran, only to feel angry.

Obviously, this person is his son at the moment, an upright prince, and he should have the calm air of being an emperor.

It's okay to see it alone, but in such a comparison, the bearing, but not as good as a eunuch.

This...... It's unbearable.

Retracting the rest of his thoughts, the emperor asked.

"Qin Aiqing does this matter need to be explained or added?"

"The minister was just ordered to take back the tribute from the small country, and he didn't want to be misunderstood by His Royal Highness the Prince's subordinates, it was the minister's fault."

Twilight Xiu's eyebrows beat wildly, at this moment, if he still can't understand, then he is really stupid.

The beads of sweat on his head finally converged into a thin line and kept falling.

It's itchy, which makes Twilight Xiu Ran's whole person a little irritable.

Wrong, wrong from the start.

The Emperor's voice came from above, "Then it seems that this matter was a misunderstanding from the beginning. ”

"Exactly."

"That being the case, the matter ...... What does Aiqing think should be done? ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was an unintentional mistake, and besides, he was so anxious, because he was worried about His Majesty, and the minister thought that he could be forgiven."

The Emperor nodded, "That makes sense. ”

Immediately, the emperor looked at Twilight Xiuran, "Then my son, let me ask you, how do you think you should deal with this matter?" ”

"Erchen, Erchen thinks that he is ...... nine thousand years old"

Before he finished speaking, the emperor had already interrupted, "I think that whether this matter has happened or not, and the words have been spoken, it has already caused a bad impact. ”

As soon as these words came out, no one in the hall dared to answer.

The sudden reversal made Twilight Xiuran's mouth open wide in surprise.

This......

Instead of blaming him, his father took this opportunity to suppress Qin Muhan!

Qin Muhan's expression was faint, and he was finally the first to speak, "The minister also thinks that this is very good." ”

Immediately, the voices of seconding continued to come.

The emperor smiled slightly, as if he was very satisfied with Qin Muhan's well-behaved.

"Aiqing rest assured, it's just a temporary withdrawal, and after the truth of the matter is clarified, I will definitely give you justice."

"Obey."

The Emperor nodded, "But there is anything else to do?" ”

Twilight Xiu came back to his senses, and there were some things that I didn't want to talk about.

But Qin Muhan had just been taken away from the post of head of the East Factory, and now it was a good time to continue to suppress it, so after thinking about it for a while, he took out a book from his arms again, "Erchen, Erchen still has something to do." ”

The Emperor narrowed his eyes, "My son, no matter what happens next, you have to think clearly." Don't make any more jokes. ”

Twilight Xiuran paused slightly, but still nodded firmly, "Yes." ”

Seeing that he insisted, the emperor had to nod to the eunuch beside him, and the eunuch quickly went down to present the recital of the twilight cultivation.

This time, the Emperor did not open the recital to see its contents.

He took it and clasped it on the table with his backhand, "My son, when else will it start?" ”

"I don't know my father...... Have you heard of what Nine Thousand Years Old has done lately? ”

Hearing this, the emperor finally came to a little interested.

"Nine thousand years old for the country and the people, do your best, it is true, a model for our dynasty, all ministers, should learn."

Echoing the sound of the voice, Du Xiuran's face was very bad, but when he thought that Qin Muhan had lost Dongchang, and next, he would lose even more, and the anger in his heart was quickly hidden.

Just wait, wait.

Things are over soon.

Nine thousand years old, after today, it will no longer exist.

"If the 9,000-year-old is really for the country and the people, I don't have anything to say, what I'm afraid of is that someone will ignore the victims after settling the victims under the guise of finding a good reputation."

Everyone was in an uproar, even Qin Muhan raised his eyebrows slightly, and the emperor's eyes narrowed more and more, "What untrue remarks did the prince hear?" ”

"Father, Emperor Qi, son-in-law received news that more than half of the more than 400 victims who entered the imperial city had been killed or injured as of last night."

"What?"

The emperor exclaimed, then frowned, and said majestically, "What the hell is going on, how could the victims of the disaster suddenly die if they are so good?" ”

Twilight Xiuran seemed to have pulled back a game, and his words were arrogant, "This is going to ask us about nine thousand years old." ”

"Aiqing, what's going on?"

Being named by the emperor, Qin Muhan had to take a step forward.

"Wechen doesn't know where His Highness got this news, but Wechen is sure that there are no casualties among the victims."

Hearing this, the uproar sounded again.

On one side is the crown prince, and on the other side is nine thousand years old.

One is the emperor's son, and the other is a eunuch.

There was nothing to fight about between these two.

However, for so many years, there have been countless open and secret battles between the two, and everyone can tell one or the other just by watching.

Right now, seeing that the two of them were anxious, they all shut up silently and waited for the development of the situation.

Hearing Qin Muhan's words, Twilight Xiuran was not in a hurry.

He only asked people to do this last night, and today, Qin Muhan came to the court early in the morning, but he was afraid that he would have left before the news came back.

And what he wanted, was that he was caught off guard.

The more he swears, the more he will be able to get out when the evidence is conclusive.

This time, he must rub his sharp energy hard.

Let Shang Yunqian also see clearly who she should like.

Thinking of this, Qin Muhan's eyes shot a touch of ruthlessness.

"We don't have any basis for what we say here, why don't we go to the suburbs together and have a look?"

Looking at his sworn appearance, Qin Muhan finally frowned.

Seeing this, Twilight Xiu Dye became more and more proud.

Qin Muhan, I didn't expect it, you also have today.

"Your Highness, we are all important ministers of the court, and we are afraid that we will scare those victims when we go together......"

Someone said.

Twilight Xiuran had already thought of his words, "The victims are the most important thing, if we go together, it will definitely make them feel that the court cares about them, and in the future, if it spreads, wouldn't it be a good thing?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is reasonable." The general seconded the business war.

"The old minister still feels that this matter is inappropriate." The prime minister said so.

As for Li Shangshu......

Seriously ill at home, did not go to court.

"If more than half of the dead and wounded are really killed, it is hundreds of lives, not a trivial matter,"

After a moment of silence, the emperor said, and everyone hurriedly nodded.

But no, if this matter is true, then no matter what the reason is, Qin Muhan will definitely not be able to escape.

The most important thing is that this incident happened in the imperial city, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if this matter spreads, I am afraid that it will cause turmoil among the people, and they will feel no longer safe.

"Your Majesty, the matter is big, why don't you let Jing Zhaoyin bring it and let a team of Imperial Forest Army escort a few representatives over?"

The Emperor nodded, "I have the same intention. ”

Immediately, the emperor called a few names, and everyone left in a mighty manner.

Before leaving, the emperor glanced at Twilight.

That look made Twilight Xiuran very scared.

After everyone withdrew from the Jinluan Palace, the emperor smashed the song from the high platform.

"Idiot."

"Your Majesty is angry."

"Calm my anger, how can I calm my anger?"

He did hint that Twilight could do something from the victims, but one or two lives were enough.

More than two hundred.

He dare, too!

If this happens, then ......

Even if Qin Muhan is won, what will happen?

Where is the royal majesty, where is the royal prestige?

Fools, that's stupid.

Investigate Qin Muhan's affairs and when he needs to do it.

As long as he thought of those weapons, the emperor felt that his heart was terrified.

More than a dozen people, including the crown prince, nine thousand years old, and Jing Zhaoyin, walked towards the suburbs together.

The mighty convoy attracted the attention of the people.

What happened to the Royal Foresters?

With such speculation, everyone's faces were different.

In my heart, I was very worried.

Among them, the most nervous is the twilight dyeing.

As long as he thought of the way the emperor looked at him today, he felt faintly uneasy.

He believed that the shadow was heartfelt to him, but ...... No one expected that after a year of investigation, he finally found Qin Muhan's handle.

It's actually doing things for the emperor!

Today, although his father let him go for the time being, this incident must have made his father disappointed in him.

Twilight pursed her lips and clenched her fist tightly.

Today, he has lost the opportunity, and there must be no mistakes in the next thing.

Thinking of this, he put his head out of the sedan car and commanded the convoy.

"Speed up."

It has been a short time since the victims came to the imperial city, but for the dignitaries, there are very few people who have seen them.

In fact, apart from Qin Muhan and Shang Yunqian, there was only Shang Yunyan who tried to grab the credit and was driven away by them.

Therefore, when they saw a huge group of people coming, everyone nervously drilled out of the outside of the tent.

Looking at the guards around the sedan chair wearing light armor with serious faces, they stiffened in place one by one.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, nine thousand years old has arrived, and Jing Zhaoyin has arrived ......"

The successive shouts of salutations made the hearts of these simple people beat.

They all looked at each other, not knowing how to react.

Fortunately, Shang Yunqian is also among them.

She quickly organized everyone, "Don't be afraid, just follow me." ”

Everyone instantly found the backbone of the heart, and they all knelt down in unison, following Shang Yunqian's appearance.

Twilight Xiuran was the first to lift the curtain, and when she saw the figure in the lead, a touch of complexity crossed her eyes.

Shang Yun shallow!

After today, I see how you still like Qin Muhan.

A wise woman like you should be by the side of this prince is the best choice.

But how can you be smart but be mistaken by your cleverness?

Thinking of this, Twilight Xiu Dye was even more angry.

His gaze swept over the simple body.

After seeing everyone trembling, the satisfaction in my heart is constantly expanding.

Originally, he was still worried about this.

But now, all these worries have dissipated.

If it weren't for their lives, why should these people be so afraid?

With a slight cough, Twilight put her hand down.

Quietly waiting for the waiter to come forward and serve.

Around, there were some sounds of getting off the carriage, and the victims had been quiet.

Until......

After Qin Muhan went down.

The victims, who had been quiet, suddenly made a sound.

"It's nine thousand years old, it's really nine thousand years old."

"I didn't expect that the adults who wore court clothes would be able to see such a thing."

Without waiting for the so-called sarcasm, Twilight Xiuran was furious.

These superficial pariahs.

It really doesn't deserve any sympathy.

Will being good-looking cover up all his crimes?

Or do they feel that they are still alive because of Qin Muhan's protection?

Scold......

It's really naïve.

The reason why they have survived until now is also his mercy and the mercy of his subordinates.

If it weren't for the sake of getting off the horse.

Twilight had already lifted the curtain and walked out on her own.

However, he had instructed the waiter before.

I'm going to let him play last.

Just when the indignation was unstoppable, a voice came from outside, "Isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still coming down?" ”

It was Qin Muhan's voice.

Twilight's face changed.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I have been waiting, I don't know where the witnesses and the dead are mentioned by His Highness?"

This is...... Kyung Zhao Yin's voice.

This Jing Zhao Yin is the most fair, but pedantic.

In his eyes, there is always only right and wrong, and there is no affection to speak of.

This is also ...... He agreed to let him investigate the root cause.

This Jing Zhaoyin, in the imperial city, has a high reputation.

His testimony is more useful than most.

It's just that......

In order to make things bigger, Twilight Xiuran deliberately ordered the corpses to be placed at will, why is this ......

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

When he was stunned, the urging sound came again, and Twilight Xiu came back to his senses, only to find that at some point, the sedan curtain had been lifted by the waiter.

And his every move just now was in everyone's eyes.

With a slight anger in his heart, he secretly glared at the waiter, and Dusk Xiuran finally came back to his senses.

Look around......

Immediately, his pupils shrank suddenly......
