Under the torch, Yu Zhongyi's face was so ugly and ugly.

Chen Luo smiled faintly.

Others think that the Shi family is a family that relied on Yu Zhongyi, and the Shi family is like Yu Zhongyi's protégé. He inquired carefully, Yu Zhongyi is an extremely domineering person, and when he was excluded as an official, it has a lot to do with his intolerant character. It's just that he has been out for a few years, knowing that the world is difficult, and he has restrained some of his temperament.

But Yu Zhongyi's temperament is there, and he has become an auxiliary minister in the cabinet, no matter how much he endures it, his bones are still a little violent.

Moreover, with his current status, it is impossible for anyone to be the emperor to treat him badly, and he, like Chen Luo, is the invincible way to be invincible if he does not stand in line.

The Shi family dragged him into the water.

No wonder he is going to pick up the eldest prince in person this time.

Eight or nine times out of ten, they want to show their attitude through this incident.

If it was Chen Luo in the past, he would have turned a blind eye to it. It's a pity that he met the current Chen Luo.

How could Chen Luo let go of such a good opportunity.

Yu Zhongyi wants to stay out of the matter, I'm afraid it will be difficult!

Chen Luo didn't say a word, quietly saluted Yu Zhongyi amid the sound of crackling sparks, respectfully said "Lord Yu", and said, "Are you here to take the eldest prince back to the palace?" He's so badly wounded that he can't move, so I'll have to ask you to see him for yourself. ”

When Yu Zhongyi knew that the Shi family was involved in the royal secrets, he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart and scolded the Shi family a few words.

Seeing this, his staff couldn't help but complain: "You just attach too much importance to affection." For someone like the Shi family who doesn't know the level, you should have drawn a line with them a long time ago, otherwise they wouldn't have affected you now. In my opinion, you have to let the Shi family know that you can't do without their Shi family, it's not that you want to have a general soldier like the Shi family, but the Shi family can't do without you, and it will be difficult to move an inch without them. ”

Yu Zhongyi's face was pale, and he did not speak.

Seeing this, the staff member couldn't help but continue: "If it weren't for you, would he be able to secure the position of the chief soldier?" But look at him, he changed places one after another, and the result? Even the emperor helped them in front of him, and he couldn't stay in one place for a long time. The command is also full of some wall grass that welcomes the high and the low. If there is really anything, I think it is better to count on the Qingping Marquis Mansion than to count on their family. ”

Yu Zhongyi felt that what his staff said was reasonable, and he had an idea in his heart, but it didn't make any sense to say it now, he changed into his official uniform and entered the palace, wanting to clean up the mess before the Shi family made a bigger mess.

That's why he took the initiative to invite Ying to come and pick up the eldest prince.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that Chen Luo was actually with the eldest prince, and he also saved the eldest prince's life and sent the eldest prince to Zhenwu Temple to heal.

He couldn't help but ask Chen Luo: "Why are you with the eldest prince?" ”

It stands to reason that Chen Luo should be closer to the second prince.

The eldest prince is dead, and the situation is more favorable to the second prince.

Chen Luo was thinking about finding Yu Zhongyi to inquire about some news, but like Yu Zhongyi, he was an old fox who had become a fine spirit, he just wanted to ask, and he had to be up to twelve points of spirit and deal with it carefully. Otherwise, if you don't ask the words, you may be able to get into it.

He said: "I follow the eldest prince to watch the government in the criminal department these days, and occasionally walk around with the eldest prince. This time, I made an appointment with the eldest prince to go to Lingguang Temple to taste their vegetarian food. ”

As for why he was besieged and killed, he looked inconvenient to talk about in detail, which made Yu Zhongyi secretly scold the emperor a few more words in his heart.

It's not impossible to make the son born to a woman you like as the prince, but because of this, you have to kill the son born to your wife, what is the difference between this and those rural village husbands who want to spoil their concubines and kill their wives?

The emperor is really old, and he was so fooled by Concubine Ning that he didn't even have his senses.

Yu Zhongyi buttoned this hat on Concubine Ning's head, feeling that the emperor was seduced and seduced by her, a woman with a bad heart.

But Chen Luo can protect the prince impartially at an emergency, and in his eyes, he has the potential to be a loyal minister, a pure minister, or even a minister.

Young people who are not bent over by the powerful, have their own bottom line, and their own ideas, can best win the appreciation of people like Yu Zhongyi who have seen too many vicissitudes of the world.

He nodded slightly, didn't say anything to Chen Luo, and went straight to the pharmacy where the eldest prince was resting.

The eldest prince hadn't figured out how to face the strife outside, so he simply closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Yu Zhongyi saw that his injury was indeed very serious, and it was difficult to move him, leaving the people of Yulin Zuowei and Jinwuwei Zuowei to stay in Zhenwu Temple, and he confessed a few words to the commanders of the two guards, and then asked Chen Luo: "Are you here to take care of the eldest prince, or go back to the capital with me?" ”

Chen Luo didn't think about it, and said, "I'll take care of the eldest prince here!" Anyway, he's also my big cousin, and I'll wait for his injuries to heal before I go back to kowtow to my uncle. Speaking of which, it's all because I didn't take good care of the eldest prince......"

Yu Zhongyi thinks it's okay, the eldest prince is not dead, what is the emperor going to do? How did the Qingyun Marquis Mansion mobilize the Yulin Left Guard? Chen Luo was implicated, and the Shi family was involved, how should I deal with it...... It's a headache to think about, not to mention the relationships to balance. It's okay for Chen Luo to stay here, everyone takes a step back, finds a mutually acceptable way of compensation, and covers up this scandal as soon as possible.

"Then be careful yourself." Yu Zhongyi had to tell him, "After I go back, I will also transfer Long Xiang Zuowei, they are all your own people, and you can also instruct." ”

Chen Luo suddenly looked up at Yu Zhongyi a few times.

can be the elder of the pavilion, and it is really not easy for everyone.

This is tantamount to adding an extra layer of locks to his life.

He sincerely gave Yu Zhongyi a salute, and felt that the Shi family was really lucky, and actually took refuge in Yu Zhongyi, although Yu Zhongyi was a scholar, he acted more boldly than many military attachés.

Chen Luo sent Yu Zhongyi out, but he was thinking in his heart, whether to pull Yu Zhongyi to his side, he was also a backer.

Yu Zhongyi was full of thoughts, but he was thinking about what he would say when he met the emperor. But when he entered the palace, he was stopped outside the palace by the chief eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, and quietly reported to him: "Gonggong Ma is back, the emperor is talking to him, you wait first." ”

This time, the commander-in-chief sent by the emperor is Ma San, and now that the prince has survived, the news of the emperor's killing of the son has leaked, and the people who have a little face in the capital know what the emperor has done, and Ma San's life is afraid that it will be difficult.

He bowed his head to the eunuch and followed the eunuch to the tearoom of the Qianqing Palace.

Ma San was much more cunning than Yu Zhongyi thought, he knelt in front of the emperor with his forehead on his forehead, and said with tears in his eyes: "The slave and maid lard are blinded, and I am afraid that several pavilion elders will know." Who knows what to be afraid of, but it was the people of the Shi family who jumped out. I didn't think much about it at the time, I thought that the Shi family wanted to grab the first credit, thinking that our family was the emperor's henchman, even if they wanted to grab the credit, the emperor had to agree to it, not only did not stop it, but also thought that if they were to make a merit in front of you, the slave and maid would let them fall hard, so that they knew how deep the water in the capital was.

"I never thought that they had such an idea, it was actually the young lady of their family, who wanted to kill Linlang for the position of the prince of Zhenguo!

"Linlang is like your own son, who has exactly the same personality as you.

He didn't expect that the Shi family would be so branched, with his cleverness, he still had something he couldn't think of.

"No, not only did I save the eldest prince, but I also quietly went to the Zhenwu Temple to hide it, and asked the Taoist chief to treat the eldest prince's injuries.

"Your Majesty, the slave really didn't expect it to be self-defeating!"

The emperor looked at Ma San's appearance, and the anger when he heard the news just now had gradually calmed down over time.

His heart was like water, and he ordered the eunuch beside him to help Ma San up in a flat voice, and suddenly said as if nothing had happened: "Ma San, what do you say I should do now?" ”

Ma San felt that he was quite good at figuring out the holy will in the past, but since the emperor decided to kill the eldest prince and move the place for the seventh prince, he felt that he didn't know what the emperor was thinking.

He looked at his nose and nose as he had just served by the emperor's side, and said, "The slave doesn't know, please ask the emperor to signal." ”

The emperor said: "The eldest prince can't move, otherwise even if the crown prince succeeds to the throne in the future, those officials will not let him go." And Linlang, I didn't want his life at all, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you to leave him a way. But these two children must know what to say, what to say and what not to say, and they must understand it in their hearts. ”

In other words, the emperor wants to press this matter quietly.

Ma San immediately said: "Your Majesty, why don't I go to Zhenwu Temple on your behalf?" ”

The emperor nodded with a little satisfaction.

Ma San immediately got up in embarrassment and kowtowed to the emperor and left the Qianqing Palace.

The emperor stared at the place where Ma San kowtowed just now and smiled coldly.

*

Ma San knew that a catastrophe was coming, and even if he did a good job in the future, he wouldn't live long.

But the older a person gets, the more afraid he is of death, especially now that he is the most nourishing time in his life, how can he be willing to die?

Is it to seek refuge in the Qingping Marquis Mansion or to seek refuge in the Zhenguo Mansion?

The former is too honest and honest, and the latter is insincere and untrustworthy.

Or, ask Jiang Chuanbo to help him get an idea?

He has been "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger" for so many years, but not everyone can do it.

Ma San pondered as he hurried out.

*

The second prince was there, his eyes were red, like an angry lynx, but he was stopped in the house by Qingyun Hou.

"Second prince, you must be calm at this time, and you must listen to me." He persuaded his nephew bitterly, "It is not suitable for you to see Chen Luo at this time, let alone the eldest prince." If the emperor asks, how are you going to answer? What are you going to do if the emperor suspects you of forming a party? “

"I've had enough." The second prince's eyes turned even redder, and he gritted his teeth and whispered, "Even if I am not the second prince, I am still the younger brother of the eldest prince, what happened to me when I went to see him?" Isn't it a fact that he was injured? Isn't it true that he was besieged and killed? If you dare to do it, why don't you dare to do it? Uncle, I know you're doing it for my good. For so many years, I have always listened to your words, and I dare not exceed half a step in my trembling. But in this way, does the emperor like me? Do you approve of me? ”

No.

The emperor is still reluctant to crown the second prince as the crown prince.

Qingyunhou fell silent.

He should have understood a long time ago that when their Bo family succeeded in supporting the emperor to ascend to the throne, they were already useless to the emperor. The emperor will not allow the Bo family to sit big.

The origin of the second prince is his original sin.
