Kang Hongda raised his sword eyebrows, and the folding fan in his hand stopped.

He had thought of this question a long time ago, but he didn't mention this possibility to the emperor.

He understands the emperor, the emperor is on the rise, he can only follow him, not the opposite, if anyone pours cold water on him, the prince's fate will be a lesson from the past.

What he didn't expect was that he would hear these words from the mouth of the newly promoted Princess Chen in front of him.

She is willing to sacrifice her life for King Chen?!

Kang Hongda's eyes flashed, noncommittal.

Chu Qianchen didn't look at Kang Hongda, her eyes fell on the emperor's face fixedly, she naturally saw the subtle change in the emperor's expression, and the corners of her lips were gently hooked.

The emperor has always been suspicious, especially in matters related to the prince.

Anyway, no matter what he said, the emperor decided that the Chenwangfu had the intention of rebellion, so it was better to increase the threat of the Chenwangfu to the imperial court.

In this world, the only thing that can face power is power.

Instead of being passive, it is better to be proactive.

Chu Qianchen stood there calmly, in a very brisk mood.

She could feel that the prince had taken a different path from his previous life.

In his previous life, the prince only wanted to arrange a way out for them.

A way out that even if he wasn't there, she and the others would be safe and sound.

But the prince of this life is different.

The prince is even more radical. This is no longer a way out, but a swim against the current!

So, the prince believes that she can cure him, right?!

Chu Qianchen's phoenix eyes were scorching.

In the imperial study, there was silence.

Gonggong Xiao Wen, who came to pass the word, knew that the occasion was not suitable now, so he could only stubbornly say: "Your Majesty, Lord Shoufu asks to see you." ”

Sure enough, it was the emperor's displeased roar:

"Nope!"

Xiao Wen's father-in-law's legs were weak, and he didn't dare to say more, so he quickly retreated.

Anyone could feel the emperor's thunderous anger, and the faces of Chu Lingxiao and Ni Gonggong were slightly pale.

The emperor's heart tightened, his eyes became darker and darker, and he felt that he had made a mistake in this game.

Gu Jue only stayed in the capital with the Queen Mother and Princess Chen.

And Princess Chu Qianchen is just a mere concubine, and she is still married by herself, how can Gu Jue care!

Gu Jue personally went to the Hou Mansion to greet his relatives at the wedding, and since these days, he has looked good for this princess, and I am afraid he is also doing it for himself!

As for the Queen Mother, if she makes a move on the Queen Mother on the bright side, then the people of the world will think that she is not filial and disrespectful to her stepmother, which is equivalent to sending a handle to Gu Jue alive.

The emperor's heart sank little by little.

Chu Qianchen, who was only separated from the emperor by a royal case, was still motionless under the emperor's gloomy gaze, and neither his face nor his posture wavered in the slightest.

There was a faint sneer on the corner of her lips, as if she was not afraid of being angered by the emperor.

The emperor looked at her, and his heart became more and more bottomless.

It seemed like a silent duel.

For a long time, no one spoke again, and the air grew solemn as the silence spread, as if a spark was faintly flashing.

Chu Qianchen had no stage fright at all.

However, she was not afraid, but Chu Lingxiao was afraid, angry and hateful.

Seeing that this earth-shattering merit was in front of him, once the emperor decided to send troops to crusade against Gu Jue and Qin Yao, as an informant, he would be able to get this errand nine times out of ten, but he didn't expect Chu Qianchen to dare to speak like this in front of the emperor.

Is this cheap girl trying to kill herself, is she going to make the entire Chu family die without a place to be buried?!

He almost used all his strength to stabilize his body, did not kneel down, and scolded Chu Qianchen angrily: "Chu Qianchen, if you dare to be presumptuous in front of the emperor again, it will be as if the Chu family has never raised your daughter!" ”

Chu Lingxiao's chest rose and fell violently, his breath became thicker, and the green tendons on his neck jumped.

Chu Qianchen raised his head and met Chu Lingxiao's eyes, looked at his angry eyes, and said, "Father, you told the emperor that the prince and Qin Shizi were going to rebel, right?" ”

Without waiting for Chu Lingxiao to answer, Chu Qianchen's eyes moved to the emperor, and the next sentence was said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, my father has such a big 'harvest' when he goes to the northwest, he did a really good job, don't you say?" ”

"There are also a lot of ministers outside the Heart Cultivation Hall today, why don't you tell them about it?"

"Tell them how the emperor asked his father to teach his courtiers to be 'obedient'!"

She smiled slightly, her smile was cold, and every word pierced the emperor's heart like a stinger.

In just a few words, she pointed the finger at the emperor for the whole thing, and the implication was to reprimand the emperor for ordering Chu Lingxiao to blame Gu Jue and Qin Yao, and Chu Lingxiao also forced her to accuse Gu Jue of rebellion because of the emperor's intentions.

Of course, Chu Lingxiao also heard what she meant, and his eyes widened. This rebel girl is just nonsense!

The emperor was furious at first, and then jumped sharply with his eyebrows, secretly saying that something was wrong.

If Chu Qianchen's words were to be heard by these civil and military ministers outside, anyone would think that it was a bureau set up by him, the emperor, and that he wanted to take advantage of Gu Jue's absence to convict King Chen of treason out of nothing, so as to suppress King Chen's mansion, after all, since ancient times, there have been many emperors who have used this method.

But the conscience of heaven and earth, he didn't think about it at all.

The emperor held his breath in his heart, picked up the letter presented by Chu Lingxiao before, threw the letter directly towards Chu Qianchen, and said sharply: "This is the letter that Chu Lingxiao got in King Chen's mansion, there are both human and physical evidence, do you still want to say that Gu Jue is innocent?!" ”

Chu Qianchen leaned over slightly, picked up the letter paper, and read it slowly.

After reading the letter, she tilted her head and said suspiciously, "What is this?" ”

She still has to play stupid! Chu Lingxiao raised his voice and said: "This is a letter from Gao Cunzhi, the general soldier of the Bingzhou Guard, to Gu Jue!" ”

Father-in-law Ni also checked the handwriting, this is indeed from Gao Cunzhi's handwriting, and the end of the letter is his private seal.

"Oh?" A smile appeared on Chu Qianchen's little face, which was obviously soft and delicate, but it made people chill for no reason.

Chu Qianchen said inexplicably: "Is General Gao a left-hander?" ”

"What left-handers, what nonsense are you talking about?!" Chu Lingxiao blurted out.

"So, it's not." Chu Qianchen seemed to be talking to himself, turned the front of the letter towards the emperor, and pointed to the lines on it, "This is clearly a left-handed word." Even if the emperor wants to plant a false accusation, this evidence should be made beautifully. ”

The emperor had only paid attention to every word in the letter and the content of the expression, and had never looked at the letter from this angle, but when he looked at it from a distance, he immediately found that the font of the letter was high on the left and low on the right, and the gesture gradually became thinner from left to right, which is the characteristic of left-handed characters.

Chu Qianchen glanced meaningfully at Gonggong Ni beside the emperor.

As we all know, it was because he could write with his left and right hands that he was looked at differently by the emperor.

Ni Gonggong's face also changed, and he felt that he was more wronged than Dou E. This incident actually burned on him inexplicably.

"......" Chu Lingxiao's face was even more ugly than that of Father-in-law Ni.

This letter is left-handed, that is, this letter is not Gao Cunzhi's handwritten letter, it was forged by someone else.

How is this possible?!

Chu Lingxiao's mind was extremely chaotic, and he was stunned, unable to think calmly at all.

Chu Qianchen quickly put back the letter paper in his hand, and while turning around, he said: "I'm young and my eyesight is not good, I heard that Lord Shoufu and a few Shangshu adults are good at calligraphy, so I simply asked a few adults to help with the staff officers." ”

Chu Qianchen walked in the direction of the door, with a posture of "talking to the head of the cabinet".

"Stop!" A bead of sweat the size of a bean appeared on the emperor's forehead, his face was pale, and his heart was cold.

Once this matter gets bigger, Gu Jue can go back to the north directly and set himself up as the king.

And he will also have a reputation for planting blame, and the world will only think that he "forced" Gu Jue to "oppose"!

At this moment, the emperor felt like a mouse being played by a cat, and was played around by Gu Jue.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the imperial study.

That little Wen father-in-law entered again, and there was an extra official document in his hand, which happened to be opposite to Chu Qianchen, and Chu Qianchen could only slow down.

Gu Nanjin walked over quickly with a sweat on his head, stopped Chu Qianchen, and persuaded him in a good voice: "Aunt Nine Emperor Stay, there may be some misunderstanding in this." Father will definitely find out, and he will not wronged the Nine Emperor Uncles. ”

Gu Nanjin couldn't help but think of the last time he talked about the conditions with Gu Jue, and felt that this imperial aunt was as terrible as the Nine Emperor Uncles.

He kind of knows what a husband and a wife are.

"Your Majesty," Xiao Wen's father-in-law presented the official document with both hands, "The prince of Nanyang sent someone to deliver the good news." ”

Good news?! The emperor and the others were all shocked and confused.

Chu Qianchen hooked his lips, and his eyes were full of light. It's finally here!

The emperor was angry, frowned, and said, "Say! ”

Xiao Wen's father-in-law maintained a pretentious posture, and said: "The state guard is secretly ventilating the country, and the prince of Nanyang has sent troops to take down the general soldier of the state guard, Gao Cunzhi." ”

Xiao Wen's father-in-law swallowed his saliva, feeling that the latter words might not be what the emperor wanted to hear, but he could only bite the bullet and bow down: "In order to ensure that the state guard will not fall into the hands of Fengmi Kingdom, the Northwest Army has already occupied the state guard, and Qin Shizi implores the emperor to assign the state guard to the Nanyang Palace." “

At the same time, Gonggong Ni took the good news and presented it to the emperor.

Such shameless words made the emperor stupid, and his face gradually turned blue.

Even if the emperor was still a little uncertain before, now he is sure that he has indeed fallen for Gu Jue's plan.

Kang Hongda suddenly put away the folding fan and said affirmatively: "Qin Yao wants to merge with the state guard. ”

Things have developed to this point, and he immediately understands everything: the emperor's heart is too anxious, so he has a plan.

Let's not mention the matter of Fengmiguo, where is this so-called good news, in fact, it is just that Qin Yao wants to occupy and defend the state openly.

The state guard is located in the state, ostensibly to occupy the state guard, but in fact, it is to divide the entire state into the territory of the Nanyang Palace.

Gu Jue and Qin Yao went around in a circle, and set up such a bureau, just to merge the state.

It can be said that Chu Lingxiao is right, but at the same time, it is also very wrong.

The emperor also understood, his face became even more ugly, and his thin lips pursed into a straight line.

The emperor suddenly burst out, swept his horizontal arms, and swept all the things on the table to the ground, a mess.

Gu Nanjin and Father-in-law Ni had long been surprised, and Chu Lingxiao trembled violently with fright.

An orange the size of a fist happened to roll to Chu Qianchen's skirt, Chu Qianchen lowered his eyes and looked at the orange, turned sideways slightly, and avoided it.

She had long heard Mama Yan mention that the emperor's temper had been getting bigger and bigger recently.

Just like in the previous life, the erysipelas in the emperor's body became deeper and deeper.

There are people who will not change in two lifetimes.

Kang Hongda touched the handle of the fan in his hand and looked at Chu Lingxiao with heavy eyes: "Chu Lingxiao, what did you see in the Northwest Camp, let's talk about it in detail." ”

These Chu Lingxiao have already compiled them very completely, and they have said it once before, and they were repeated again immediately, almost word for word.

Kang Hongda closed his eyes and listened while gently tapping his palm with a folding fan, with a leisurely rhythm, as if he was thinking.

After Chu Lingxiao finished speaking, Kang Hongda opened his eyes and asked, "You said, you saw Gu Jue and Qin Yao coming out of the central tent together, and they didn't see you?" ”

Chu Lingxiao's gaze wandered for a moment, and he said, "I'm hiding." ”

The Emperor frowned, a look of suspicion on his face.

The barracks were generally empty, and apart from those tents, there were no trees or tall buildings, so where could Chu Lingxiao hide to avoid Gu Jue and Qin Yao's field of vision.

Kang Hongda saw Chu Lingxiao's weakness at a glance: "Did you not see Gu Jue at all?!" ”

Chu Lingxiao naturally couldn't recognize it, and insisted: "I'm sure it's Gu Jue's voice." And, I saw his back......"

At this point, it came to an abrupt end.

Chu Lingxiao also found that he had slipped his mouth.

Kang Hongda hooked the corners of his mouth with a smile.

"Seeing the back" means that Chu Lingxiao actually didn't see Gu Jue at all, or rather, he didn't see Gu Jue's face, he just made subjective assumptions, or ......

The emperor's face was a little gloomy again.

Kang Hongda asked again: "You said, after you arrived at the post station in Nanyang City, you found that the post station was surrounded by people from the Northwest Army, so how did you escape from Nanyang back to the capital?" ”

Because the lie he said earlier was exposed, Chu Lingxiao was a little panicked, a little cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he felt that the emperor's gaze was even colder.

He was even more panicked, and he didn't want to say that he escaped hiding in the dung truck, so he hurriedly said: "I heard that they were going to seal the city gate, and I felt that the east city gate must be heavily checked, so I quickly left from the south city gate." ”

"You're in luck." Kang Hongda seemed to be sighing, but in this situation, this sentence seemed extremely ironic.

Rebellion is a big crime that is enough to behead the whole door and bring disaster to the nine clans, would Qin Yao really be so sloppy and let Chu Lingxiao slip away from the south city gate so easily?!

If Qin Yao was really so stupid, would he still have a way to kill his own brother Qin Xuan without clearing his father's grievances?!

Kang Hongda can think of this, and of course the emperor can think of it.

The anger in the Emperor's heart was churning, and his breathing became more and more rapid.

What Chu Lingxiao said was clearly false, and he was deceived...... At all, Qin Yao deliberately let him come back from the northwest.

According to what Chu Lingxiao said, he only brought a small guy with him, how did the two of them get rid of the people of the Northwest Army, and they returned to the capital smoothly and without damage!

The fire of anger in the emperor's heart burned even more, and his fierce gaze shot at Chu Lingxiao, "Chu Lingxiao, you are so bold!" Did you forge this letter?! ”

Chu Lingxiao's eyes were almost open to the extreme, and he hurriedly defended himself: "Your Majesty, you believe in the minister, this letter is really not forged by Weichen." ”

"This letter was given by Weichen, an unfilial daughter, and Weichen just fell for her!"

Chu Lingxiao became more and more excited, his face turned red, and the roots of his forehead were bruised.

Chu Qianchen pinched the letter and shook his head, "Father, until now, you still have to push it on my head." ”

"Rebel girl!" Chu Lingxiao's teeth were gritted.

If it weren't for the fact that this was the imperial study, he would have waved his palm towards Chu Qianchen.

The emperor after the imperial case looked at the father and daughter back and forth, his brows furrowed.

There are few words of truth in what Chu Lingxiao said, this letter was obviously not given by Chu Qianchen, and it is impossible that he stole it from King Chen's Mansion, with the strict guards of King Chen's Mansion, not to mention Chu Lingxiao, even Jinyi Wei does not have this ability.

Could it be because Chu Lingxiao went to King Chen's Mansion to eat soft nails at Chu Qianchen, and in order to ask for merit, he simply didn't do anything and forged a letter by himself? !

Facing the emperor's questioning gaze, Chu Lingxiao was about to jump, he had never encountered such a reasonable situation in his life.

"Your Majesty, it's really not a micro-minister!"

"Your Majesty, you believe in Wechen, Wechen can swear ......"

Chu Lingxiao didn't know what to say to prove himself, and he was incoherent.

The emperor didn't want to hear it anymore, so he casually picked up the last ink inkstone left on the imperial case and smashed it towards Chu Lingxiao.

Chu Lingxiao didn't dare to hide at all, and let the inkstone smash on his shoulder, causing him to snort in pain, and the ink left a black mass on his shoulder, making him even more embarrassed.

Chu Lingxiao was frightened and quickly knelt down.

The inkstone fell to the ground almost at the same time, and the ink spilled all over the ground, staining Chu Lingxiao's robe.

Chu Lingxiao couldn't take care of it, and he couldn't wait to kowtow to the emperor to show his innocence and loyalty.

He never thought that he obviously didn't lie, but just concealed it a little, how could it come to the point where he couldn't argue!

Chu Qianchen glanced at Chu Lingxiao with a faint expression.

Chu Lingxiao is like this, despicable and shameless, cold-hearted and cold-hearted, without any self-knowledge, and dares to open his mouth.

Kang Hongda asserted: "Your Majesty, you have been tricked. ”

Looking at Chu Lingxiao's stupid appearance, he knew that he should have been used by Qin Yao.

The emperor finally sorted out the matter, his hands clenched into fists tightly, and his fists trembled slightly with anger.

Yes, Qin Yao took advantage of Chu Lingxiao, a fool, to make him think that he and Gu Jue were going to rebel, so that he made a wrong move at the beginning, so he fell into the current situation and was in a dilemma.

To convict Gu Jue and Qin Yao, it is necessary for the three divisions to be tried.

But this letter made up by Chu Lingxiao, a fool, can't even escape Chu Qianchen's eyes, so many pairs of eyes in the court, and even those military generals who are biased towards Gu Jue are staring, this letter will definitely be recognized.

When the time comes, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will feel that they have ordered Chu Lingxiao to frame Gu Jue!

Even if Gu Jue led the Northland Army to the south to force the palace in the future, he could still use the guise of being forced by himself.

Therefore, Gu Jue must be innocent.

Since Gu Jue is innocent, Qin Yao, who was "falsely accused" with Gu Jue, is also innocent.

The emperor took the good news he had just presented and felt heavy.

Qin Yao was bold enough to send troops to the state guard without authorization, which was simply punishable, if there was no Chu Lingxiao, he could now cure Qin Yao's two major crimes, one is to use troops without edict, and the other is to lead troops to leave the domain and enter the state without authorization.

Both of these are serious sins that can be denied.

But not now.

Qin Yao must be "innocent".

The Emperor's heart throbbed, and something seemed to be pounding violently in his chest.

All of this was really pre-designed by Gu Jue and Qin Yao, otherwise, how could this excerpt be delivered at this time!

Just then, another little chamberlain came in lightly.

The mess in this place made the pupils of the little waiter shrink.

He just didn't see it, and walked forward casually, until he walked to the side of Xiao Wen's father-in-law, and said in fear: "Your Majesty, all the adults are kneeling outside. ”

The little chamberlain's head was lowered, and he didn't dare to look at the emperor's face at all.

The air suddenly became cold, as if it had entered a cold winter in an instant from early autumn, and the air seemed to be frozen.

Chu Qianchen didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, so he made up for it again: "That's right, then I'll go out and tell the adults how the emperor planted the blame for our prince." ”

Chu Qianchen walked over quickly, and opened the door of the imperial study with neat movements.
