The moon has turned to the west, hanging on the treetops.

Zhao Yan turned his back to Jiang Xiaoyu, and his back was extremely silent and resolute.

Jiang Xiaoyu sighed softly and asked, "You let me come out, what's the matter?" ”

"Do you still recognize me as a second brother?" Zhao Yan was silent for a moment and asked.

Jiang Xiaoyu looked at his back, bit his lip lightly, and said, "Of course I will treat you as the second brother!" ”

"Then you will hide something from me," Zhao Yan asked, turning around.

Jiang Xiaoyu lowered his eyes, groaned for a while and said, "No!" ”

Zhao Yan looked at Jiang Xiaoyu fixedly, thought for a while and asked: "Not long ago, when I was tracking down that suspicious person, I happened to run into you, and I felt that there was something wrong with your expression at that time, and it seemed that there was something on your mind, I just wanted to ask you, you could have known about the assassination tonight?" ”

"What do you mean?" Jiang Xiaoyu frowned and asked.

"I ...... I don't believe that tonight's events have anything to do with you, but I just want to ask, have you been aware of tonight's events beforehand? Zhao Yan asked.

Jiang Xiaoyu lowered his eyes and looked at the shadow on the ground, thought for a while and said, "I really haven't seen the suspicious person you said, but when I went to check those dancing girls for the princess, I did find some suspicious points......

"If you find something suspicious, why don't you notify us?" Zhao Yan asked.

"If this matter can be investigated, it may be possible to find out who is behind it, and if it can be found that this matter is related to the eldest grandson's family......"

Before Jiang Xiaoyu could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhao Yan, and he asked in a cold voice, "Have you ever thought about what would happen if they succeeded in assassination?" ”

"If they succeed!" Jiang Xiaoyu looked at the ground with a cold gaze, "You will overcome public opinion and ascend to the throne!" ”

Zhao Yan looked at Jiang Xiaoyu in a daze, with some surprise in his eyes, he didn't know why Jiang Xiaoyu had such an idea, he said coldly: "What you say, do you know that it is a capital crime?" ”

Jiang Xiaoyu raised his eyes and met Zhao Yan's gaze fearlessly: "I just think...... You may be more suitable, this court is deceitful, what the hundred officials do is not how to feed the people of the world to ask for their lives, but to stand in line, watching the direction of the court, and speculating on the holy will! If you can ascend to the throne, you will definitely be able to be virtuous and capable, with clear rewards and punishments, and an atmosphere of righteousness! ”

"You overestimate me too much, and you underestimate my father too much!" Zhao Yan said coldly, "My father's industry is not something I can remember, you just saw what you think is bad, you don't see what your father succeeds, the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty generally live and work in peace and contentment, and the military strength of the Great Zhou can also dominate one side, and the ambition of the father is not limited to this, he has a bigger mind and intentions, he wants this world!" ”

After a pause, Zhao Yan continued: "If something really happens to my father, even if the emperor's grandmother can make me the new emperor despite public opinion, with my current ability and qualifications, do you think I can suppress the eldest grandson?" The eldest grandson will inevitably be dissatisfied, what is the final result, it is the eldest grandson's family to raise troops, it is the chaos in the world, and the prosperity of today, which the father has worked hard for decades to achieve, will become necessary, and the advantages of the Great Zhou over the countries will be gone, and the Great Zhou may survive among other countries! Why did my father never attack the eldest grandson's family, and why did he always want to deal with this matter in a more harmonious way, for this reason, have you ever thought about this? ”

Jiang Xiaoyu's complexion changed slightly, since she found out that those dancing girls had problems, she had been in contradictions and doubts, and these problems had not had time to think about them at all.

"You...... Have you ever thought about it? Zhao Yan looked at Jiang Xiaoyu, there was some hurt emotion in his eyes, "Once the assassination happens, where will I be placed, and where will Princess Jingyun be placed!" ”

"I'm sorry......" Jiang Xiaoyu's face turned a little pale, and she didn't know how to explain it, she had to admit that she was indeed very selfish and didn't think about the consequences for their couple.

Zhao Yan took two steps towards Jiang Xiaoyu, and said coldly in her ear: "Xiaoyu, don't have that kind of thought anymore, although we have always wanted to bring down the Changsun family, but you have to remember that there is only one monarch in our hearts, that is, the father and emperor, the current situation, no one can control it more than him, if something happens to him, the Great Zhou will be chaotic!" Xiaoyu, I don't want to hurt you, don't force me to choose between you and my country and the world! ”

"I ...... I see, it's true that I didn't think it through! Jiang Xiaoyu said, "I forgot, you are Zhao Yan, what you want is not power, you want the people of the world!" ”

The moon was hidden in the clouds, the shadows on the ground gradually faded, Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Yan stood in the shadows, neither spoke anymore, and there was a cold smell floating in the air.

It's just that the atmosphere before these two people may not be the same thing in the eyes of others, meeting late at night, lonely men and widows, there is already a little more ambiguous atmosphere.

Princess Jingyun looked at the figures of the two of them for a moment, her eyes were a little red, and she sighed slightly, there are many people in this palace, and he completely ignores it, do you want to come to comfort Xiaoyu? Even if Xiaoyu is married, is it still so important in his heart?

Princess Jingyun felt aggrieved and helpless, and a little desperate and unwilling, but she didn't go up to make a fool of herself like an ordinary woman, she turned around and was about to leave, but she didn't expect the figure behind her to startle her, and hurriedly said: "Shizi, why are you here?" ”

"It's so late, the second princess is also here, what are you looking at?" Zhao Ling smiled faintly.

Princess Jingyun's expression seemed to be a little flustered, and she hurriedly said: "It's nothing, it's not early, the prince should go back and rest quickly!" ”

Zhao Ling smiled slightly, glanced into the distance, and asked: "That's Xiaoyu and the second prince, they have something to say, I know, I accompanied Xiaoyu here, since you are here, let's also say hello to Xiaoyu, tonight's matter, I'm afraid that the most frightened person is you!" ”

"No need!" Princess Jingyun wanted to leave, but Zhao Ling grabbed her arm and came to Jiang Xiaoyu's side.

Hearing the footsteps, the two turned their heads, and Zhao Ling asked gently, "Have you finished asking about the things you want to ask?" ”

Jiang Xiaoyu nodded and said lightly: "It's over, let's go back!" ”

She stepped forward and pulled Zhao Ling away, feeling depressed, just wanting to hide in his arms.

And after they left, there was silence between Princess Jingyun and Zhao Yan for a while, and Zhao Yan said, "Look for her, there is something serious!" ”

"I know!" Princess Jingyun said, "Let's go back!" ”

Zhao Yan's lips squirmed slightly, as if he wanted to explain something, but he seemed to feel that it was unnecessary, nodded and said, "Go back!" ”

The atmosphere in the palace this night was condensed to the extreme, although His Majesty and the Queen Mother have not yet made a final conclusion on tonight's affairs, but the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, no one dares to sleep peacefully, they are all looking at the movements of the three princes, I don't know what will happen to the three princes, I don't know how the assassination will end, and I don't know what the follow-up development between the two princes will be!

The Queen Mother has been guarding the door of the third prince, she has some doubts in her heart that the second child did this, after all, the final beneficiary of this matter will be him, but she believes in the second child's character in her heart, she doesn't want to believe that her judgment will be wrong, but if it is not him, then who will be the murderer?

There are also those assassins, with the intention of avenging the Bai family, if this matter is related to Jiang Xiaoyu, I am afraid that it is too obvious, I am afraid that someone is just using the banner of the Bai family, is it him?

The queen is gloomy, there are always people who want to challenge her bottom line, in life, there will always be a lot of bottom lines that cannot be touched, whether it is in the past or in the future, Your Majesty's safety is absolutely not allowed to be threatened by anyone.

When the sky was about to dawn, when the sky was white, the closed door was finally opened, and Liu Ruli came out of it, his face was as usual.

The Queen Mother hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is the situation of the third prince?" ”

Liu Ruli said lightly: "It's okay anymore, just adjust your body again!" ”

"Thank you, Doctor Liu!" The Queen Mother said, "It's hard work, please go and take a break!" ”

"The grass people are retired!" After Liu Ruli hugged his fists, he was taken down to rest by the palace people.

The Queen Mother couldn't wait to enter, took a look at Zhao Ye, and saw that his original Fan Hei's complexion had become as usual, although it was a little pale, it was still reassuring in the end. Several imperial doctors were still waiting, and the Queen Mother said lightly: "This Liu Divine Doctor's medical skills are really good!" ”

"The Queen Mother is right, this Doctor Liu's medical skills are indeed extraordinary, and the ministers have learned a lot of things, and the third prince was able to dissolve the poison so quickly, thanks to the antidote pill fed by the princess!"

"Got it!" The Queen Mother said lightly, with a hint of deep thought in her eyes, but it was fleeting, and she instructed: "Take care of the three princes!" ”

"Yes!"

"Queen Mother!" Emperor Zhou helped the Queen Mother and walked out, "Now the third child is not in much danger, there is a doctor waiting, the queen mother will go back to rest first, it's not early, it's time to take a good rest!" ”

"The mourning family knows!" The Queen Mother nodded, the sky outside had already dawned, she thought of something, and her heart was worried, "For last night's incident, how does Your Majesty plan to deal with it?" ”

"Do what you want to do! After the Royal Forest Army finds out the truth, this matter must be explained to everyone, compared to so many pairs of eyes to look at it! Emperor Zhou said, "I don't know if the queen mother has any instructions?" ”

"That's it!" The Queen Mother waved her hand, "Although the mourning family has repeatedly emphasized that it is not allowed to hurt my royal bloodline, such things have happened again and again, and the mourning family has reached the point where they can no longer bear it, and this matter must be explained!" ”
