Thinking of this, his voice became more and more calm: "There was an assassin who assassinated him that night, and then left this thing behind. The poor monk didn't want to startle the snake, so he didn't alarm the Royal Forest Army. Who would have thought that when he came the next night, he brought it with him, and almost injured the princess. ”

Xiao Jingchen concealed Zhao Huangge's assassination of himself, told him the truth and falsehood, and said at the end: "And yesterday, those people came for the third time, but they brought a large number of people with them, intending to stealthily kill people. ”

Speaking of this, he pursed his lips again and said, "Although the minister doesn't know who these people are, he knows what their purpose is - to sow discord and bring disaster to the east. ”

After listening to Xiao Jingchen's words, the emperor did not speak immediately, his eyes were tightly locked on the person in front of him, and his expression was full of inquiry.

This time, Bai Jiapo was found to have private soldiers, and the emperor was undoubtedly angry, but when this private soldier was involved with Xiao Jingchen, he began to suspect it again.

I wonder if someone wants to fish in troubled waters, make things bigger, and then take the opportunity to make a profit.

Until then, his suspicions had not diminished.

Xiao Jingchen......

As a national teacher of North Vietnam, does he really have no selfish desires?

The black oil bomb that was found under his pillow undoubtedly became a breakthrough, but now, he took it over with a light stroke.

When the emperor looked at him, Xiao Jingchen's eyes did not dodge or evade, and his expression was frank from beginning to end.

It was probably because his expression was too calm that the emperor withdrew his gaze, took his words, and asked, "Then what evidence do you have?" ”

"At the end of last year, someone wanted to let the poor monk approve his life."

When Xiao Jingchen said this, his voice seemed to fall into the previous memory: "It's not the same group of people, but it's the same birthday." ”

His words made the emperor's eyebrows sink suddenly, and he asked, "You answered?" ”

Xiao Jingchen shook his head and said, "The poor monk didn't agree. ”

He was the national teacher of Beiyue, and the only one who was loyal to the emperor was allegiance. Therefore, except for the members of the royal family, no one dared to come to him to give him his order.

But the people of the royal family don't need to hide it.

Unless, the person who came was not royal.

can find Xiao Jingchen in such a calculation, what that person is trying to do must not be simple.

Xiao Jingchen naturally wouldn't make a move, he couldn't get involved in such a thing.

After saying this, the emperor's expression had already sunk, and Xiao Jingchen continued: "But one of them once carried a waist card, which was a princess order. ”

"Is there any evidence?"

The emperor's voice was wrapped in ice, and Xiao Jingchen was still calm: "No." ”

Xiao Jingchen replied calmly, but the coldness in the emperor's eyes gradually intensified.

Princess Ling, now there are only two people.

One is his younger sister, Zhao Huangge, the princess of Heyang;

One is his aunt, Princess Zhao Chisha of Changle.

Although Zhao Huangge's princess mansion has been built a long time ago, because she is young and the emperor is reluctant to let her live alone outside, she still lives in Qiwu Palace.

On the contrary, it was Zhao Chisha.

At the age of sixteen, he was still a concubine, and the other party was the eldest son of the Murong family, and for decades after that, he lived in the princess's mansion.

It wasn't until the death of the concubine that Zhao Chisha's son Murong Sui took over as the head of the family, and she moved from the princess's mansion to Murong's house, thus starting the life of a pure old lady.

will mobilize different people, and do not hesitate to take out the princess order, just to let Xiao Jingchen approve the order, except for this Princess Changle, there is nothing else to think.

Princess Changle is nearly seventy years old, and she rarely appears in front of people recently, but during the New Year's holidays, she will also enter the palace to meet the emperor.

Among the people who supported his ascension to the throne back then, this aunt was one of them, so the emperor also respected her.

When he heard about this, the emperor pondered for a long time, and finally just asked, "Why didn't you tell me at that time?" ”

"At the end of the year, things are busy, and poor monks don't want to have more lives."

He said this euphemistically, but the emperor suddenly remembered that his condition would become more serious every winter, and at the end of last year, it was he who was seriously ill, and even stopped the court for seven days in a row.

Under such circumstances, it seems reasonable for Xiao Jingchen not to bother himself with this matter.

But......

He knew that there was something wrong with this.

The emperor's gaze patrolled Xiao Jingchen's face for a moment, and then he said for a long time: "This matter, when you have completed it, where did you go on the afternoon of the fourth day of the seventh month?" ”

In any case, the matter must be put aside for the time being. He Rongyuan, who was arrested earlier, was Murong Zhong's person, and the emperor knew that Xiao Jingchen was probably not lying, and it was unrealistic to find out from the national teacher, and he still needed to check from the court.

But his words gave the emperor an idea.

He didn't want to mention this matter more, so he simply mentioned something else.

The emperor was caught off guard and asked about this, but Xiao Jingchen was at a loss for a moment before he said: "The poor monks are all chanting in the meditation room in the afternoon. ”

If he refuted directly, the emperor might still be suspicious, but his expression was frank, as if he didn't know why he asked like this, but the emperor looked at him for a moment before he said, "What I asked is the afternoon of the fourth day of the seventh month." The national teacher is sure that you were also in the meditation room at that time? ”

"Yes."

Xiao Jingchen replied firmly, but the emperor had a cold face, and said in a deep voice: "But the temple novices and guards can testify that you are not in the temple." ”

When he said this, he stared at Xiao Jingchen with a wrong gaze, and slowly added: "Not only that, the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, I also saw you appear in Shangjing, and the place where you went was the Weiyuan Commander's Mansion." ”

The emperor's voice was not loud, but every word was full of questions.

In the end, he was a little disappointed and said: "The national teacher wants to say that someone framed you, but how do you explain this?" ”

"Poor monk, I can't explain it."

When Xiao Jingchen spoke, he performed the Buddha ceremony again.

He is neither humble nor arrogant, and if the emperor is ready, he can't go on.

After a long time, he said, "In this way, how can I believe that you are being framed, and not plotting against you?" ”

"The poor monk really didn't go out."

At this time, his expression was still flat, and his eyes were extraordinarily transparent, as if he would not be affected by foreign affairs.

The emperor looked at him fixedly and said, "The national teacher can still tell me the truth today, but after today, if I find out that what you said is false, it will not be as easy to turn the page as today." ”

"So, the national teacher has to think clearly."

The emperor beat him repeatedly, but Xiao Jingchen's eyebrows and eyes were the same as always: "Amitabha." ”

……

After a long time, I heard the emperor's voice sound again: "I believe you in this matter for the time being." ”

This answer was expected by Xiao Jingchen.

He bowed his head and thanked him, but added: "There is one more thing." ”

Seeing this, the emperor only thought that he repented, but before he could speak, he saw Xiao Jingchen turn around and go to the cabinet.

When he came back, there was an extra box in his hand: "Please take a look at the emperor." ”

The Emperor didn't know what he meant, and asked in surprise, "What is this?" ”

It's just that the voice didn't fall, but his face suddenly changed greatly.

There were only two people in the room, and the emperor's heavy breathing became more and more obvious.

Xiao Jingchen didn't seem to know what he handed over that was enough to set off turbulent waves, and his eyebrows were still calm.

After a long time, I heard the emperor ask in a dumb voice: "Where did you get this thing?" ”

Xiao Jingchen said a place in a low voice, and saw the emperor take a deep breath.

He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his expression was more decisive: "It's not safe in Yanhua Temple, so the national teacher should go back to the East Palace for the time being." ”

Xiao Jingchen nodded yes, and saw the emperor pinching the small box and turning around to go out.

But before going out, he paused.

"National teacher."

The emperor's voice was a little weird.

Xiao Jingchen answered, so he heard him staring at himself and asked, "Last night, what happened?" ”

When he mentioned last night, Xiao Jingchen's heart jumped.

Sure enough, it came. When the emperor came from Zhao Huangge, he must have already heard what she said, and the scene last night was really seen by Yuezhou.

Anyone will trust their eyes more.

He was silent for a while before he said, "The princess is injured, and the poor monk heals her." The imperial physician should be able to see that if it were not for healing, the princess would be in danger. ”

The man spoke speciously, and the emperor frowned slightly.

Everyone in the world knows that Xiao Jingchen was born a Buddha and gave up love, perhaps, it was really a misunderstanding last night.

After all, it was a wilderness, and if you wanted to do anything, why wait until night, when the Imperial Guards appeared.

Moreover, he did hear from the hospital that treated him, if the princess hadn't been drugged in advance, I am afraid that it would have been really bad luck.

After a long time, I heard the emperor's indifference: "I believe in the national teacher this time." ”
