Chapter 280: Everyone is a pawn

Xue Hanmu took Hua Chen into the palace

Gonggong Cui had already heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had caught someone, and hurriedly went to the imperial study to report to the emperor.

Yesterday, the emperor angrily reprimanded His Royal Highness the Prince, which made the people of the government and the opposition panic, and the people who served by the emperor's side were also trembling for a while.

"Where have you gone?" the emperor asked in a cold voice.

Father-in-law Cui replied in a panic: "I just heard the guard report that he has arrived at the gate of the palace." ”

The emperor's face softened a little, and he asked again: "Yan Nanwan has no news yet?"

Gonggong Cui's voice was a little weaker: "So far, I haven't found any news about Lord Yan in Beijing. ”

"Keep sending someone to investigate!"

Xue Hanmu's voice sounded outside the imperial study: "Father, the son has something to see." ”

The emperor glanced outside and gave Grandpa Cui a look, and Grandpa Cui walked to the emperor's side and shouted to the outside: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the emperor let you in." ”

Xue Hanmu walked into the imperial study, the emperor glanced at him, looked down at the folds on the table, and said nothing.

"Father, the criminal minister Hua Chen has been caught. Xue Hanmu bent down and arched his hand, "Wait outside the imperial study." ”

Only then did the emperor raise his head and look at Xue Hanmu: "I am about to hand people over to you for disposal, and it is all up to you." ”

"Erchen understands. ”

"What do you understand?"

Xue Hanmu still lowered his head and said, "Erchen will definitely send someone to guard the Yan family, and this kind of thing will never happen again." ”

The emperor laughed: "That's all?"

Xue Hanmu was stunned, slightly didn't understand what the emperor meant, raised his head and looked at the emperor in confusion.

The emperor looked at him with a look of ignorance, and suddenly a wave of anger in his heart, picked up the fold on the table, and smashed it at Xue Hanmu who was standing below.

Xue Hanmu subconsciously wanted to hide, and when he realized that it was the emperor above, his steps stopped, and he smashed him in the face.

A few pieces of music were cut on his face, and they were clearly visible.

Xue Hanmu hurriedly knelt down: "The son is stupid, and the father forgives the sin." ”

"You're not stupid, you're stupid!" the emperor slapped the table hard, pushing all the folds on the table to the ground.

Father-in-law Cui hurriedly followed and persuaded: "The emperor is angry and angry. ”

"Sooner or later, I'll be by you idiot!" the emperor pointed at Xue Hanmu, his hands trembling.

Xue Hanmu knelt on the ground and did not speak.

The more the emperor looked at him, the more angry he felt, flicked his sleeves, walked down, walked out, walked to Xue Hanmu's side, and looked at him still silent, the emperor was even more angry, and kicked him in the back.

Xue Hanmu was kicked and fell to the ground, his back hurt hotly, he gritted his teeth, and still didn't say a word.

"Idiot!" the emperor scolded angrily and left the imperial study in a rage.

Gonggong Cui followed behind, looked at Xue Hanmu who fell to the ground, stepped forward to help him up, and persuaded: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the emperor is just angry and angry, you ...... Don't take it personally. ”

Xue Hanmu stood up with Grandpa Cui's hand and smiled at Grandpa Cui: "This palace knows that my father just hates iron and steel. ”

"It's good that you know. Father-in-law Cui moved his mouth, and said, "Hua Chen's matter, the emperor suspects that things are not so simple, and there is ...... behind it."

He clicked until he stopped.

Xue Hanmu was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood.

He was so focused on finding Hua Chen that he forgot to think deeply about the stakes behind this matter.

"Thank you Grandpa Cui for reminding me. After Xue Hanmu finished speaking, he endured the pain in his back and strode out of the imperial study.

Gonggong Cui also trotted out of the imperial study, followed the emperor in front of him, and comforted: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also in a hurry, don't be too angry." ”

"I really want to know if he is really stupid or pretending to be stupid?" the emperor sneered, and then changed his tone to a gentle tone, "Rumor the seventh person has entered the palace." ”

Gonggong Cui hurriedly beckoned the little father-in-law behind him and went to the Seven Princes' Mansion to deliver the decree.

The little eunuch didn't find anyone when he arrived at the Seven Princes' Mansion, so the whole housekeeper pulled Ling Sheng to ask, and Ling Sheng only said that the Seven Princes would enter the palace in a while.

After the father-in-law left, Ling Sheng immediately went to the Yan Mansion and told Xue Yan about the emperor's urgent summons.

Yan Nanwan and Xue Yan both knew very well in their hearts that the emperor summoned Xue Yan into the palace at this time, which was nothing more than Hua Chen's business.

Xue Yan originally didn't want to enter the palace and didn't want to get involved in this matter, but Yan Nanwan persuaded him a few words before he entered the palace.

Xue Hanmu came out of the palace and went straight back to the East Palace.

Tao Xiaobei was still sitting in the East Palace Hall, not in a hurry or impatient.

"Is Gongzi Tao still in the East Palace?" Xue Hanmu entered the mansion and asked the housekeeper.

The housekeeper nodded, wanting to tell Xue Hanmu about Zhao Heqian and Tao Xiaobei talking alone today.

Before he could say anything, Xue Hanmu had already walked forward.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, ...... today"

"I'll talk about it later. Xue Han didn't reply.

Tao Xiaobei looked at Xue Hanmu, who walked in in a hurry: "What makes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so anxious?"

"Where did you find Hua Chen?" Xue Hanmu asked.

Tao Xiaobei smiled coldly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is angry in front of the emperor and angry with me?"

Xue Hanmu slowed down, realizing that he was impulsive: "Fang Cai is too anxious in this palace, Tao Gongzi should not take it to heart." ”

Tao Xiaobei smiled indifferently: "Naturally, I don't care." Hua Chen was found by me in a ruined temple on the outskirts of the city, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to see it, I can take you there now. ”

"No need. Xue Hanmu turned around and walked out and walked to the door, "I won't leave Master Tao today, there are still some things to do in this palace." ”

"The grass people also have some things to do, and they have taken their leave. Tao Xiaobei said lightly, got up, walked out, and paused beside Xue Hanmu, "His Royal Highness the Prince, if you have something, come to me at any time." ”

His vows were full of confidence and determination, which made Xue Hanmu feel disgusted.

Xue Hanmu's expression was faint and he didn't speak.

Tao Xiaobei didn't care about him, and walked out of the hall one step ahead of Xue Hanmu.

Yan Mansion.

In Yannan's evening house, looking at someone who came uninvited, he hooked his lips and smiled: "Rare guest, Tao Gongzi, please take a seat." ”

After Tao Xiaobei came out of the East Palace, he came directly to Yanfu.

Over the wall.

"The crown princess wants to see you, and she has something to say to you. Tao Xiaobei said straight to the point.

"You're here to deliver a message to the crown princess?" Yan Nanwan was a little surprised.

Tao Xiaobei nodded, noncommittal.

"You really took refuge in the crown prince?"

"Not really, to each according to his needs. Tao Xiaobei glanced at her, "It's okay, I'll go first." ”

"I'm not going to the East Palace. Yan Nanwan looked at his back and said.

"Listen to my advice, it's better to take a trip, maybe the crown princess will become an extremely useful pawn in your planning. ”

"I didn't plan anything, and Tao Gongzi must not tell hearsay. Yan Nanwan smiled slightly.

Tao Xiaobei said lightly: "Whether you plan or not, it has nothing to do with me. ”

"What about the chess pieces?"
