The servant opened the gate of the palace, and a man in his twenties, with his hair tied and wearing a crown, stepped in with black embroidered brocade and boots, his cold face was slightly angular and similar to the first emperor, and he threw the cloak to the servant with a wave of his big hand, and his sharp eyes sweeping across the courtyard were as sharp as the eagle above the palace's head.

"Back to the prince, the matter has been done." Shuyan greeted him with a respectful salute.

The person who returned home was none other than the head of the family, Rong Yixuan, who sneered when he heard the words and strode in.

Shuyan followed behind him and whispered: "As expected by the prince, this girl is the person Cheng Wangfu is looking for. The sedan chair just went out on the street and passed by Cheng Wangfu, and when I turned back, the sedan chair of Cheng Wangfu turned back, this time we started first, and really let the opposite side pounce on the air. ”

"Who's that?" Yesterday, the little maid came to report that Cheng Wangye's second entry into the Jinyi Workshop looked at the same person, although Rong Yixuan sent someone to pick her up, he didn't really pay attention to her, just as a backup to dig out something strange.

"It's the girl in the Chu Mansion, named Ruoyun, when I went to pick her up, she actually fled from the Chu Mansion, it seems that the son of Master Li of Dingzhou Assassin Shi came to propose, this girl is not willing." Shuyan replied briefly, thought for a while, and said, "She also brought a girl named Xiaohong, and the Tao is like a brother." ”

"Yes." Rong Yixuan walked with his hands in his hands, his thick eyebrows were slightly tight, and he suddenly stopped in front of the paulownia trees that had fallen leaves in the courtyard, stretched out his sleeve-length and powerful hand and twisted a piece of fallen leaves and looked, "But there are other discoveries?" ”

Shuyan looked at the yellowed leaf intently, took out the folded paper from his arms, and offered it with both hands.

When Rong Yixuan took it over and looked at it carefully, Shuyan explained: "Lord Chu's mansion once took in the daughter of the former emperor Su Xi, named Su Ruoyun, because of the holy decree, but she died of illness only a few months ago after entering the mansion. ”

Rong Yixuan was noncommittal, slightly swept the words on the paper, closed it again, and only heard "three years" before his eyes became gloomy: "What do you think?" ”

Shuyan's expression was grim, and he spoke carefully: "My subordinates think that this Ruoyun must be Su Ruoyun herself, and I am afraid that this fold was not presented to the emperor back then, and such a trivial matter should be taken over by Prince Cheng." ”

He didn't dare to say anything more after he finished speaking.

The said Cheng Wang Ye is Cheng Qingsu, who is the head of Cheng Wangfu, and is incompatible with his own prince in the court, although the prince is now living in an idle position, but the emperor has nothing to do, this prince who is the first in line to the throne is hot, and there are many-for-tat confrontations in the court, but let the prince figure out who can be relied on.

It's just that the king with a different surname who is now assisting the emperor to ascend the throne has a share with the emperor, and he has the desire to unload the burden but has no intention of usurping the throne.

"A trifle?" Rong Yixuan crushed the dead leaves, his eyes showed hatred, "As a cabinet scholar, I am afraid that the person who drafted the edict that day will have Su Xi's share, but Cheng Qingsu recognized it and wanted to kill people." ”

Shuyan frowned and corrected in a low voice: "Lord Wang, yesterday's Lord Cheng is Lord Cheng Qingxuan......"

Rong Yixuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then became even more unhappy.

Among the three princes surnamed Cheng, although Cheng Qingsu is the master, I am afraid that the most difficult to deal with is that Cheng Qingxuan, the four different surnames Wang Cheng, Yu, Huai, and Xia Fan must go to Cheng Wangfu to discuss if they have a big move, and every time whether Cheng Qingsu is there or not, then Cheng Qingxuan must be there, and he has suspected many times that their mastermind is Cheng Qingxuan.

Four kings with different surnames supported the emperor to ascend the throne, whether they are friends or enemies now, I am afraid that they are all on the side of the emperor, and he is an enemy. But they come strangely, act secretively, and never get drunk on money, the power is holding the lifeblood of Tianyi and has no intention of the throne, this world is not an official for the power and not a good fortune, as soon as it comes out, there are four families, so far he can't figure out their details.

Such four families are enemies, enemies in the shadows, every time he thinks about it, he is like a thorn in his back, and he doesn't know when he will be able to tear off Cheng Qingxuan's gentle and smiling mask with his own hands, and take a good look at their true purpose.

"Lord Wang, the two girls have been placed in the palace, do you want to see them?" Shuyan saw that his master's face was getting darker and darker, and he couldn't help but speak.

"Not busy." Rong Yixuan waved his hand, squinting at the slowly falling dead leaves, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, "This opportunity, I'm afraid it's all opportunities." ”

Shuyan stared at the fallen leaves and lowered his head deeply.
