Chapter 233: Another Incident
Chu Shenxia walked outside Liu Yan's palace, and Lu Zhi greeted him and said, "Your Highness still refuses to come out, what should I do?" ”
"Has Your Highness eaten?" Chu Shenxia glanced at the food box in front of the door and asked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lu Zhi frowned anxiously and said: "Isn't this just a hurry when you don't eat, since Your Highness came back from the Sixing Temple a few days ago, he has never been out of this door, and he doesn't eat or drink, how can he stand it?" ”
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
Chu Shenxia repeatedly knocked on the door and said, "Your Highness, did you hear me?" If you hear it, open the door. ”
After waiting for a while, seeing that there was no movement inside, Chu Shenxia said again: "I have something to say to Your Highness, yes...... The matter of the crown princess ......"
As soon as the words fell, the door in front of him suddenly opened, Lu Zhi was startled, and hurriedly picked up the food box on the ground and handed it to Chu Shenxia, only to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw him enter.
"Your Highness......" Chu Shenxia had just said two words, but was interrupted by Liu Yan coldly spit out two words, "Close the door!" ”
Chu Shenxia obediently closed the door, and then put the food box on the table and said, "Your Highness, let's eat some, it's not a way to go on like this." ”
Liu Yan didn't seem to hear it, and said bluntly: "You just said outside that you have something to say to me, hurry up." ”
"Your Highness, let's eat first, let's talk while eating." Chu Shenxia smiled slyly, and met his gaze without the slightest intention of compromise.
Coupled with the aroma of food wafting out of the food box, Liu Yan was really a little shaken, as long as he walked to the table and said, "Okay, you say I'll listen." ”
Helping Liu Yan take out the food from the food box, seeing that he was moving his chopsticks, Chu Shenxia spoke: "Lord Liu has been here once, he said that when he went to the court today, most of the officials of the Manchu Dynasty chose to stand on Liu Yu's position when they heard about this, and the situation was very unfavorable to His Highness. ”
"You just said outside that you were going to talk about something related to Yongming." Liu Yan just put his chopsticks on his chopsticks and stared at him tightly.
Chu Shenxia sighed and said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't worry, I'll say it right away." Let's listen to what happened in the DPRK today, right? ”
Seeing that he was speechless and acquiesced, Chu Shenxia continued: "After all, the crown princess's remarks about dying to protect her have really aroused a great impact......
Before Chu Shenxia finished speaking, Liu Yan had already interrupted him impatiently: "I just want to hear the result." ”
"The emperor ordered Chen Zhiming and the Criminal Department to thoroughly investigate the matter. Your Highness...... His Royal Highness is not allowed to contact official duties during this period to show his innocence. Chu Shenxia saw that Liu Yan's gaze had always been sloppy and unchanged, so he changed his tone and said what he wanted to hear the most.
"As for the remains of the crown princess and the funeral, the emperor said that if she was telling the truth. Then she is betraying her husband, if she is lying and framed, the crime is self-evident. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, she is not qualified to go to the funeral as the crown princess. ”
Liu Yan paused, then suddenly raised his eyes and asked, "Does my father have forbidden my feet?" ”
"No, it's just that His Highness is not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the court, and in the near future, even the early dynasty doesn't have to go."
"That's good," Liu Yan said, putting down the chopsticks. He got up and said, "I'm going to the palace, and there are some things I have to tell my father." ”
Chu Shenxia was very happy when he saw that his eyes had regained their brilliance, and hurriedly went out first, and said to Lu Zhi: "Your Highness is going out, you have to prepare a carriage." ”
Lu Zhi was very efficient, and when Chu Shenxia and Liu Yan walked to the gate of the main palace, the carriage had already been prepared, and Liu Yan was silent. A man got into the carriage and hurried to the palace.
After Chu Shenxia sent Liu Yan away, he was about to turn around and enter the palace, but he heard a rush cry from afar, "Wait!" Wait! ”
Look back. But it was Liu Zhengsheng, he caught up with him and smiled: "What a coincidence, Mr. is also here, is he going out?" ”
"Oh, I just sent His Highness out." Chu Shenxia replied calmly,
Liu Zhengsheng had already been to the East Palace once before. Naturally, he knew Liu Yan's situation, and said in surprise: "Your Highness actually went out?" Has he figured it out? ”
"Perhaps, he will go to the palace to find the emperor now," Chu Shenxia withdrew his gaze from a distance, looked at Liu Zhengsheng and said, "Lord Liu went and returned, is there something wrong?" ”
Liu Zhengsheng waved his hand to signal Chu Shenxia to come closer, and then whispered: "The news that the emperor is critically ill has spread in the court, and everyone says that the emperor will not live for more than three months. ”
"Who sent it out?" Chu Shenxia frowned and asked.
Liu Zhengsheng glanced around and said: "I heard that it was spread by Sun Banrong, this matter has made people panic, if the emperor knows, he will definitely blame Sun Banrong." ”
"I see." Chu Shenxia nodded in response, and immediately patted him on the shoulder and said, "This matter, I'll go to the side concubine to find a way, and the movement of the court depends on Lord Liu." ”
"Naturally, naturally, then don't bother Mr." Liu Zhengsheng is a clear-eyed person, and when he heard him say this, he was ready to leave.
Ruoyu listened to Chu Shenxia say this, and felt a little uneasy in her heart, Banrong was her good sister, and she naturally believed in her. But when the rumor-mongers give birth to such an incident, they must be inseparable from Banrong.
To put it bluntly, it is better to say that he can't get along with the East Palace, and Banrong is just a victim in this matter.
Ruoyu was a little restless, pacing in front of Chu Shenxia and said, "I could have asked my father to find out what Liu Yu meant, but you also know that my father and Liu Yu are in an embarrassing situation now. There is something inappropriate about asking this outlet, and it is easy to attract the attention of the other party. ”
Seeing Chu Shenxia nodding in agreement, Ruoyu said again: "Have you ever thought about the authenticity of this rumor?" ”
Chu Shenxia met her inquiring gaze and smiled faintly, "What do you mean?" ”
Ruoyu took two steps and explained: "If this is a non-existent thing, then the emperor will not be guilty at all, and it may attract the emperor's attention and provoke him to be angry, I'm afraid...... It's true. ”
After saying this, Ruoyu found that Chu Shenxia just nodded silently, his expression was not abnormal, and he couldn't help but pause and stare at him tightly. Chu Shenxia raised his head and saw her staring at him, and simply admitted: "Yes, you are right, this is indeed the truth. ”
Ruoyu's eyebrows frowned, and he asked, "So, His Highness also knows about this?" Does anyone else know about this? ”
"At that time, there was only His Highness who was present, and after His Highness returned to the East Palace, he only told me, and there was no one else who knew." Chu Shenxia suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.
Ruoyu was stunned for a moment, and said that something was wrong with him who couldn't tell him, "If you're sure that you didn't leak this matter, then the possibility of Banrong spreading this matter is not zero." ”
Chu Shenxia raised his eyes suddenly, met Ruoyu's gaze, and was stunned for a moment before slowly lowering his eyes and saying, "Indeed...... It's possible, but what is her purpose? ”
"What is the position of the Xu family?" Ruoyu said this, but he gave Chu Shenxia a reminder, and his eyes flashed, "Maybe I should go and talk to Xu Zhicai." ”
Ruoyu thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay...... Then let's go out together, I'll go to the Sixing Temple to see how Banrong is doing. ”
The horse under his crotch was running wildly on the deserted street, and Chu Shenxia raised the whip after whip, just wanting to hurry up, and hurry up. Suddenly a figure appeared in the empty street, and the man heard the sound of horses' hooves and turned his head to see that it was his mother, Li Luo.
Chu Shenxia was shocked, and hurriedly reined in the horse, but threw himself off the horse, and seeing that his mother was shocked, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Is my mother okay?" ”
"I'm fine, you didn't fall and hurt yourself, did you? What's the matter with you, kid? How can anyone ride a horse like you and die? Li Luo's face was concerned, and his eyes kept checking whether he was injured.
Chu Shenxia smiled and grabbed Li Luo's hand to pat the dust for himself, and was about to say that it was okay, when his eyes flashed, but he found that Li Luo was carrying a medicine bag in his other hand, and said busily: "Mother is sick?" Why didn't you tell me? ”
"This medicine is not for me," Li Luo suddenly withdrew his hand in frustration, his face was full of sadness, "This is the medicine for Jing Yan, he is very sick." ”
When Chu Shenxia saw Li Luo's expression change suddenly, he felt that things were not simple, and asked, "Very sick?" When was this? ”
"Just a few days ago, I suddenly became ill and vomited blood, which frightened me. Later, your grandfather came and said something I didn't understand, saying that he was very sick and that he didn't have many days. When Li Luo said this, his face was full of helplessness and panic.
Chu Shenxia saw that her mother was sad, and that her sideburns were all white, her heart was sour, and she helped her and said, "It's not safe for my mother to be alone outside, I'll send my mother back." ”
"No, if you have something to do, you don't have to accompany your mother, just go."
For his mother's words to understand him, Chu Shenxia's eyes suddenly became hot, if he was the same as Jing Yan, he would have to leave his life one day. How sad should it be for the mother to live alone in this world?
Chu Shenxia hugged his mother's hand and said tighter: "Nothing can be more important than mother, mother don't be too sad, the child will take more time to visit his mother in the future." ”
Li Luo looked at Chu Shenxia a little untruthfully, it could be seen that his eyes were firm and clear, and he couldn't help but smile comfortably, patted the back of his hand, and walked forward with him in his arms.
After walking a few steps, Li Luo couldn't help but say, "I heard that Miss Banrong is still in the Punishment Temple?" You should find a way to save her from it, she is a girl's family, it's not easy, you have to let her point in everything. ”
"I will." Chu Shenxia held back the doubts in his heart and replied simply.
