At the same time, Chu Lingxiao, who was standing beside Gu Nanjin, maintained a posture of clenching his fists, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister just went to the Chenwang Mansion to see the little girl, and this letter was collected from the Chenwang Mansion. ”

Before he finished speaking, the emperor had already thrown the letter in his hand to Gu Nanjin, and asked in a cold tone: "The evidence is in front of you, you can see for yourself!" ”

"So far, you still don't believe it, prince, have you been tricked by Gu Jue?!"

The Emperor's voice was so cold that ice slag fell out, and the corners of his forehead appeared with green tendons, and the full anger seemed to burst out from under his skin.

The letter paper was smashed Gu Nanjin's face, and then fell flutteringly and fell into his hands.

Gu Nanjin also looked at the letter, the emperor couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed his head and told Ni Gonggong fairly: "Quick, give me Xuan Kang Hongda!" ”

Hearing the name "Kang Hongda", several other people in the hall were shocked, and the surroundings were quiet, and suddenly there was a sense of urgency that the wind and rain were coming.

Kang Hongda is a close confidant of the emperor, the governor of Beijing, in charge of the three battalions of the Twelve Guards and the Forbidden Army, and is also responsible for guarding the capital.

If the emperor wants to declare Kang Hongda, it is obviously to take King Chen seriously, which is afraid that it will set off a bloody storm in the capital and even the entire Daqi.

"Father's ......"

Gu Nan wanted to persuade, but the emperor didn't want to pay attention to him and interrupted him: "Enough!" I don't want to hear you talk to Gu Jue! ”

Immediately afterwards, the emperor instructed Lu Siji: "Lu Siji, you quickly and personally take the Jinyi guard to the Chenwang Mansion, surround the Chenwang Mansion, and no one is allowed to enter or leave!" ”

This posture is obviously to seal the Chenwang Mansion.

Lu Siji's hair was numb. Jin Yiwei is not afraid of the sky, but King Chen's Mansion still has to weigh one or two, especially Jin Yiwei has just suffered a big loss at the hands of King Chen.

But the emperor's order cannot be violated, and the status and power of Jinyiwei are completely from the emperor's favor, Lu Siji didn't dare to say the word "no", so he could only take the order to retreat.

Gu Nanjin's face was even more ugly, and he didn't know what to say.

In the past two days, he felt that the government was starting to get started, and he was not as busy as he was at the beginning, and he thought that he could take a breath, but suddenly such a thing appeared like a thunderbolt from the sky.

Gu Nanjin only felt a headache, and he also wanted to be the shopkeeper, but he was the prince, how could he sit idly by.

He took a few deep breaths, sorted out his thoughts, looked at Chu Lingxiao, and asked, "Yongding Hou, did you see Gu Jue appear in Nanyang with your own eyes?" ”

Although Chu Lingxiao only heard Gu Jue's voice, he still insisted: "Not bad." ”

He looked determined, without a hint of weakness or hesitation.

A sneer tugged at the corner of the emperor's mouth, and his anger rose again.

"Impossible." Gu Nan hurriedly said, "Uncle Nine Emperor personally escorted Wuhajialou back to Nanhao, if he left at will on the way, how could he hide it from Wuhajialou's ears and eyes!" ”

This is also what the emperor can't understand, it's impossible for Gu Jue to grow wings and have the ability to travel thousands of miles a day, right?

Gu Nanjin groaned and asked again: "Yongding Hou, how did you sneak into the Northwest Camp, and how did you escape from Nanyang City?" ”

Chu Lingxiao started from Qin Yao sending someone to send him away, and told him how he sneaked into the northwest camp and how he escaped from Nanyang City in the end.

He had thought about this passage over and over again on the way back to Beijing, so as soon as Gu Nanjin asked, he immediately said it.

Gu Nanjin was a thoughtful person, and immediately grasped the key: "Yongding Hou, since Qin Yao found out that you sneaked into the military camp and sent someone to the post station to arrest you, the northwest is the territory of the Nanyang Palace, how could he let you easily escape and return to Beijing to report the news." ”

As soon as Gu Nanjin said this, Chu Lingxiao remembered that he had escaped from Nanyang City from a dung truck, but he couldn't tell the emperor.

Gu Nanjin once again faced the emperor behind the imperial case, leaned over, and said with a straight face: "I beg my father to investigate." ”

"Nanyang is located in the northwest frontier, is a border pass, Nanyang Wangfu has guarded the northwest for generations, and has made meritorious contributions in Daqi."

Gu Nanjin proposed several times as early as the beginning of the previous year to let Qin Yao go back to the northwest, but the emperor never allowed it, until the king of Nanyang was seriously ill this spring, so he let Qin Yao go back, not wanting Qin Xuan to kill his father and blame Qin Yao.

In the past six months, Qin Yao was really unexpected, and finally cleared his grievances, and the emperor sent Chu Lingxiao to the northwest to thoroughly investigate the cause of the death of King Nanyang, making it clear that he did not believe Qin Yao.

Qin Yao encountered this change, it is impossible not to be a little dissatisfied with the emperor, the emperor has not thoroughly investigated, and he has been accused of rebellion by Qin Yao, doesn't that force people to really rebel? !

Gu Nan's words are sincere and his words are conclusive, but no matter how reasonable he is, he must be listened to.

The emperor didn't want to hear it at all, and his dissatisfaction with the crown prince deepened.

The emperor's right hand formed a fist, and he knocked impatiently on the desk, the faster he tapped, with undisguised eagerness.

He lost repeatedly with Gu Jue, and last time he was forced by Gu Jue to give up the Fengtai camp because of a little thing, and he also agreed to let Gu Jue transfer another 30,000 troops from the north to garrison the capital.

Every time he thought about it, the emperor's heart held his breath, and he didn't even want to go to court, feeling that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were privately discussing the fact that he was suppressed by Gu Jue, and they were watching his jokes.

He's going to have to get a city back.

"Enough!" The emperor interrupted Gu Nanjin again, his expression was cold and stiff, "I don't need you to teach me to do things. ”

For the emperor, whether it is Fan Yanzhi's matter or the current matter, it is just a beginning.

What he wants is to be famous.

"......" Gu Nanjin was speechless, his heart was heavy, and he couldn't breathe.

The emperor's words are simply heartbreaking, even if the government has been busy recently, Gu Nanjin has never felt so tired, and the bottom of his throat is astringent.

At this time, a little chamberlain came in and said that Master Kang was here.

The emperor was in good spirits and asked people to quickly bring Kang Hongda in.

Kang Hongda did not wear an official robe, wearing a peacock blue background gold and purple auspicious clouds and flowers, a rhino horn belt tied around his waist, a purse and a small seal, his body was long and jade, and his steps exuded a unique luxury and majesty of a person in a high position, and he was calm and unhurried.

Everyone's eyes were on him, including Chu Lingxiao.

Kang Hongda didn't seem to see Chu Lingxiao at all, and didn't even give him a look, and walked straight to the other side of Gu Nanjin.

"See the Emperor."

Kang Hongda saluted the emperor, his expression and posture were very comfortable, and he stood out in this depressing room.

He also has such capital, when the emperor was still the crown prince, he once saved the emperor's life, and then became the emperor's cronies, the emperor installed him in the fifth military camp, and he also competed, repeatedly made military achievements, and was promoted to the deputy general of the second rank in just a few years.

After the emperor ascended the throne, he promoted him and made him the governor of Beijing.

Everyone knows that the emperor's trust in him is three points more than Lu Siji.

The emperor looked at Kang Hongda a few steps away, his brows stretched slightly, and his heart was confident.

He is the Emperor of Great Qi, and he has hundreds of thousands of well-trained forbidden troops under him, and he is afraid that Gu Jue will not succeed!

Last time, he just lost to give Gu Jue a chance, and at that time, Kang Hongda was not there.

Kang Hongda left the capital in May, inspected the states on behalf of the Son of Heaven, reviewed the soldiers of the state health centers, and did not return to Beijing until the end of August.

Now that Kang Hongda is back, he has more help and reliance, and at this moment, Gu Jue happens to be not in Beijing, and those crowds in King Chen's Mansion have no leader, and they have already lost first in terms of momentum.

The time and place are favorable, and they are all on their own side.

Don't move now, wait for when!!

The emperor's fingers tapped a few times on the armrest of the chair, his eyes gradually precipitated, and he ordered with a strong expression: "You send people to surround the Fengtai camp immediately, if the Xuanjia army inside dares to resist, they will all be regarded as traitors and killed." ”

A fierce flame burned in the Emperor's eyes, and he told himself in his heart that this was a perfect opportunity. He had to take advantage of Gu Jue's absence in Beijing, and take advantage of the fact that the other 30,000 Xuanjia troops had not yet arrived in the capital, and defeat Gu Jue in one fell swoop.

Once you miss this opportunity, it will be even more difficult to find such an opportunity next time.

What's more, the soldier is very fast, and he can't give Chenwangfu a chance to react.

Kang Hongda raised his eyes and looked at the emperor, smiled slightly, his expression was a little lazy, but his tone was very sharp, "Does the emperor want to take this opportunity to completely eradicate King Chen, or just let King Chen bow his head?" ”

His voice was neither light nor heavy, and even had a somewhat casual taste.

"......" The emperor narrowed his eyes, leaned forward sharply, and his right hand clenched into a fist on the case.

I don't know when it was cloudy outside the window, the sun was covered by clouds, and even the autumn wind was cool, and the autumn mood was getting stronger.

As soon as the wind blew, a few blood-stained maple leaves occasionally fell in the sky, adding a bit of solemnity.

Chenwang's Mansion was once again surrounded by Jinyiwei's people, Jinyiwei dispatched, and the momentum was impressive, almost half of the people in the capital were in their eyes, and all of a sudden there was a lot of noise in the capital, especially the streets near Chenwang's Mansion were empty.

The news soon spread to the Mu State Mansion, and the Shen family was shocked, panicked and worried.

Last time, Jin Yiwei tried to search King Chen's mansion, Gu Jue was there, and although the Shen family was panicked at that time, he also knew that nothing would happen.

This time is different, Gu Jue is not in Beijing, do you want to let her daughter face the vicious Jinyi Wei by herself?!

Shen Shi Huo Di got up, and her first reaction was that she was going to Chenwang Mansion, and when she walked out of the hall, she had already calmed down and went to the outer study to see Mu Guogong instead.

The little maid in the outer study didn't report it, so he led her in, "Auntie, grandpa Guo said that you might come, so let the little one wait for you." ”

In addition to Mu Guogong, there was one other person in the house.

"Cousin?" Shen shouted in some surprise, he didn't expect Pei Linye to be here.

Although Shen tried to calm down, he could still tell the panic in her heart from her unnatural expression and tense fingertips.

"Cousin, don't panic." Pei Linye comforted, guessing that the Shen family should have known about the Jinyi Wei Feng Palace.

"Ah Zhi, Lin Ye came here for this matter." Mu Guogong also spoke out to appease Shen's emotions, "You don't know yet, Lin Ye has just entered the Beizhen Fu Division. ”

Shen's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Cousin, what news did you hear over there?" ”

Pei Linye turned his head and glanced at Mu Guogong, Mu Guogong nodded slightly, and motioned for him to say it.

The subtle exchange of eyes between the two made Shen's heart sink, and a not-so-good premonition rose in his heart.

What made Pei Linye dare not tell her directly, and he dared to say it only after asking his father what he meant? !

Pei Linye said again: "Chu Lingxiao returned to Beijing today, and then went into the palace to face the saint, and soon, the emperor ordered Jinyi Wei to surround Chenwang's mansion. He paused hesitantly, but continued to say, "It seems that Chu Lingxiao pointed out that King Chen and Qin Yao, the prince of Nanyang, colluded to rebel. ”

It's Chu Lingxiao again! Shen's body swayed back and forth, and the crown of his teeth rattled.

Shen didn't expect Chu Lingxiao to even dare to say this kind of thing casually, he didn't think at all that once the emperor believed it, what would happen to Chu Qianchen.

This man's heart is too ruthless, and his flesh and blood are not worth mentioning in his eyes.

Mu Guogong was also in a heavy mood.

He knew that Chu Lingxiao should return to Beijing in the next two days, and he was somewhat worried that Nanyang would not know what was going on, so Chu Lingxiao would flee back to the capital in a hurry, for fear that Gu Jue would be implicated by Qin Yao, but he didn't expect Chu Lingxiao to directly crown the crime of treason on Gu Jue's head.

Mu Guogong repented even more and blamed himself.

If he is wrong, the children's family affairs should not be related to repaying the favor.

The corners of Shen's eyes were red.

If Chu Lingxiao was here now, she really wanted to cut him with a thousand knives with her own hands.

There was a dull ache in her chest, and the pain came over her in bursts, her heart seemed to contract violently, and her pale face began to turn blue.

"Cousin, are you alright?" Pei Linye was observant and immediately noticed that Shen's face was wrong.

Mama Chen was frightened, after all, Shen had been seriously ill because of anger before, and was sentenced to death by the doctor, but fortunately, Chu Qianchen's medical skills were brilliant and pulled people back from the ghost gate.

Mama Chen hurriedly took out a small porcelain bottle and poured out a finger-sized pill from it, "Madam, take it quickly, this is the heart-saving pill made by the second aunt and grandmother a few days ago, and I specially asked Amber to send it." ”

Mama Chen fed Shen and swallowed the heart-saving pill, and Mu Guogong hurriedly poured a glass of water for his daughter.

Mama Chen stroked Shen's chest repeatedly, and massaged several acupoints on her hands.

After a while, Shen gradually calmed down, and his heart was no longer uncomfortable.

"I'm fine." After Shen Shi was furious, he quickly calmed down, and his dignified and beautiful face was extremely resolute, "Cousin, you go on." ”

Seeing that Shen was fine, Mama Chen breathed a sigh of relief, put away the small porcelain vase again, and suddenly thought of something.

Worst.

She was in a hurry just now, and accidentally said that she had leaked her mouth, and told Chu Qianchen about her medical skills, and she didn't know if Pei Linye noticed it?

Pei Linye didn't seem to pay attention, and continued: "Later, the emperor also announced that Kang Hongda had entered the palace, and before I came, Kang Hongda had not come out. ”

When Mu Guogong heard this, his expression became more and more solemn.

If it is said that the emperor let Jinyi Wei besiege the palace of Chen Wangfu is just a small fight, if Kang Hongda really makes a move, it will really be a bloody storm.

Kang Hongda is ruthless, unscrupulous in order to achieve the goal, and does not hesitate to act like the emperor.

Now that Gu Jue is not in the capital, although there are 30,000 Xuanjia troops in the Chenwang Mansion in Beijing, the army cannot be without a handsome for a day, and the Chenwang Mansion lacks the backbone, I am afraid that this matter is really a little troublesome.

Mu Guogong's eyelids jumped, and he said in a deep voice: "The emperor is Xuankang Hongda at this time, doesn't he want to make a move against the Xuanjia camp?" ”

Pei Linye nodded, "It's very likely." ”

Pei Linye also thought of this.

Although the Xuanjia Battalion is the elite of the elite, it has the ability to defeat ten with one enemy, but it is only 30,000, and the other 30,000 people have not yet been transferred from the north, and they are still in a weak position in the face of so many soldiers in the Beijing Battalion army.

If the emperor really wants to make a move against the Chenwang Mansion, he must first take the Xuanjia Battalion to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Besides, this is the capital.

For the Son of Heaven, nature has an advantage.

The sky outside the house was still sunny, but inside the house was like another world, and the atmosphere was oppressive.

"......" Shen's eyebrows tightened, gritted the root of his teeth, and then asked, "Then what should I do now?" ”

Mu Guogong already had a plan in his heart, and as he spoke, he got up and said, "I'll enter the palace now, and then I'll adapt to the situation when I meet the saint." ”

"Ah Zhi, don't worry, things may not be without room for turnaround......"

Mu Guogong couldn't help but glance at Pei Linye.

So far, the fact that Chu Qianchen was transferred by Chu Lingxiao is still a secret, and only the Shen family and a part of the Chu family know about it.

He heard the eldest daughter say that King Chen knew about this, so how much did the other people in King Chen's Mansion know?

After all, from an outsider's point of view, there is no need for the Shen family to go through the troubled waters of the Emperor and King Chen's mansion.

"Cousin, don't worry." Pei Linye said calmly, those narrow eyes were deep and steady, and he was not shocked, "Even if the emperor decrees to surround the Chenwang Mansion, the Chenwang Mansion is not something that anyone can enter if they want to." ”

When he said this, the corners of his lips raised, and his calm face on weekdays had a little more sharpness and arrogance unique to military generals.

Shen's plain white fingers clenched the handkerchief, his waist straightened, and he made a certain decision.

"I want to go to King Chen's Mansion." Shen said resolutely, his eyes looked at Pei Linye, his phoenix eyes were firm and bright, "Cousin, do you have a way to let me enter the palace?" ”

She went to King Chen's Mansion to find Chu Qianchen.

Pei Linye: "......"

"Zhi!" Mu Guogong couldn't help but raise his voice slightly.

In his opinion, Shen's decision was not very wise.

Shen Shi didn't speak, her lips pursed into a straight line, and she looked at Pei Linye fixedly, her eyes burning like fire, showing her determination.

At this moment, she is as firm as a rock, and no one can shake her decision and will.

There was silence in the room.

"......" Mu Guogong sighed long and stopped persuading the Shen family.

Now the only person who can persuade the Shen family may be Chu Qianchen, forcing her to stay in the Guogong Mansion, she will only be more uneasy.

Pei Linye was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay." ”

Shen thanked Pei Linye, blessed Mu Guogong, and said, "Father, I'll go first." ”

Now she and she have just entered the study, they are already two people, strong and calm, and they are so clear about their goals.

Looking at such an eldest daughter, Mu Guogong couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The mother is strong.

"Zhi." Mu Guogong called Shen Shi in a hoarse voice, and his old but not cloudy eyes were full of extremely complicated emotions.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally said the words: "Chu Lingxiao has even done this kind of thing, are you still unwilling to reconcile?" ”

The old man, who is usually resolute and calm, showed a rare old state at this moment.

The air around them froze for another three minutes.

Mama Chen frowned, sighed in her heart, and heard Shen Shi say firmly: "Don't get along!" ”

Three words are sonorous and powerful.

Shen's eyes were resolute and cold, revealing a touch of murderous aura.

She turned around and strode out of the study.

Chu Lingxiao can do this kind of thing, and she can't cheapen him for nothing!

What he did, the debts he owed, she would write them down one by one, and settle them with him one by one.

Pei Linye didn't ask anything, and Shen didn't say anything.

The two left from the back door of the Guogong Mansion, and Pei Linye specially arranged a mediocre gray canopy carriage.

The gray canopy carriage did not go directly to King Chen's Mansion, but walked all the way to the side door of the house next door to King Chen's Mansion.

Shen originally thought that there were so many brocade guards outside King Chen's Mansion, and it would not be easy for her to enter the palace, and she was afraid that she would embarrass Pei Linye, but Pei Linye took her into the house next door, and then entered King Chen's Mansion through a secret door.

The whole process went very smoothly.

Along the way, the Shen family originally expected a lot of possibilities and was also worried about her daughter's situation, but when she entered the Chenwang Mansion, she was as smart as she was, and immediately realized that if her daughter wanted to leave, she would have left a long time ago, and it was not so difficult for her to get out of the Chenwang Mansion.

The Chu Qianchen she knows is delicate on the outside, but there is a powerful soul hidden in her heart, this girl is bold, intelligent, calm, confident, and even occasionally has a hint of flamboyance and frivolity.

Therefore, Chu Qianchen was not completely passive about the situation at the moment.

After realizing this, Shen calmed down a little more.

In contrast, Chu Qianchen didn't expect that the Shen family would come to her, and the whole person was stupid.

"Mother's ......"

When Shen cast a dissatisfied look, Chu Qianchen quickly changed his words: "Mother, why are you here?" ”

For two lifetimes, she has been accustomed to relying on herself and making her own decisions, and she didn't expect that Shen would not hesitate to "risk her life" because she was worried about her.

She smiled slightly, her eyes as bright as the stars, her smile bright, and her eyebrows soft.

As soon as Shen grabbed Chu Qianchen's hand, her hand was warm and soft, which made Shen's heart settle down a lot.

She looked Chu Qianchen up and down, she put on the princess's makeup, and her clothes were very formal, only the jeweled Jiuzhai bead crown was placed on a coffee table at random.

Chu Qianchen pulled Shen Shi to sit down with a smile, his long eyelashes winked at her playfully, and said comfortingly: "Mother, it's okay." ”

Her gaze swept over Pei Linye behind Shen, a little surprised that they actually knew each other, and said with a smile: "Deputy Commander Pei, you can go and get busy yourself." ”

After Pei Linye gave up, he retreated.

Amber personally served tea to Shen, and beckoned the little maid to serve melons and fruits and snacks, everything was in order.

Shen took the performance of Amber and other subordinates into his eyes.

At this moment, her heart, which was still half-hanging, completely fell, and she knew that this matter was not as urgent as it seemed.

Although King Chen is not in Beijing, Chu Qianchen is still Princess Chen, a member of the clan, if he casually makes people collide, he will also sweep the face of King Chen and the clan, even if Jinyiwei acts carefully.

"You've got it in your mind?" Shen asked.

She was still holding Chu Qianchen's hand, and her heart was a little complicated: although her daughter was young, her attitude towards the world was very kind of a general's style, and she was on point. She wore the big makeup of the princess, as long as King Chen was not convicted for a day, Jinyiwei had to give her three points.

Even if you stand in her position, you can't do better than her.

"Hmm." Chu Qianchen spoke bluntly at the Shen family, and looked at her with four eyes, the beautiful phoenix eyes seemed to be clear and deep, like the boundless sea of stars, "Mother, don't worry." ”

Although Chu Qianchen didn't say it explicitly, the Shen family confirmed that the Chenwang Mansion was not passive, there might have been arrangements, or it might be a bureau that would be calculated.

And all you have to do is look at her, and that's it.

Shen didn't say anything, just raised his hand to caress Chu Qianchen's smooth and delicate cheeks, and tidied up her sideburns.

The mother and daughter didn't have a chance to say anything else, at this time, Jiang Yuan came and said, "Princess, the emperor sent Gonggong Ni to announce your entry into the palace." ”

Shen's heart that had finally settled down was shocked again, and he subconsciously held Chu Qianchen's hand tighter.

Chu Qianchen instructed Amber: "Amber, put it on for me." ”

Shen's gaze fell on the Jiuzhai crown again, and he suddenly understood.

Chu Qianchen put on the princess's makeup in advance, not to deter Jinyiwei, but to wait for this one.

This girl had already guessed that the emperor would announce her into the palace.

So......
