Chapter 1003: Avoiding It
Xiao Linzi next to him had a childish face, stepped forward and whispered, "Gonggong Zhou, what's wrong with these three princes?" ”
"What else can I do, I've made a mistake."
Xiao Linzi opened his mouth: "But didn't Your Majesty still value the Third Prince very much before......"
How can you say that if you go to prison, you will go to prison in the blink of an eye?
Zhou Lu glanced at Xiao Linzi when he heard this, and said coldly: "The emperor's grace has always been like this, when you are favored, you are a cloud in the sky, it is difficult to climb high, and when you lose power, it is the mud on the ground, and anyone can step on it." ”
"What can you do if your majesty values it, can't the eldest prince be valued by your majesty, if you don't say it, you will be abolished?"
After Zhou Lu finished speaking, he took a deep breath, but he didn't feel any warmth in the bright golden sun, but was chilled down his back by the cold wind outside.
Not to mention Xiao Linzi, even he himself is still a little hard to believe that the three princes, who were originally so favored, would be defeated in one day.
There is no struggle, no power to resist, just like a turtle in an urn, a person who is so faceless in front of His Majesty a few days ago, even when he has just entered the household department and sees that he is in power, he has become the first person to be favored among the princes, and he has become a prisoner in the blink of an eye.
What happened last night happened suddenly, just now in the palace, the third prince was beaten to death with a stick without even the slightest backhand.
Now that he has entered the imperial prison, he has even been charged with framing King Chen, killing Ding Ziming, and even colluding with Nanliang, even if he can save his life in the end, his life will be completely over.
Not to mention that there is no hope of competing for the throne, and even in the end, it may not even be as good as the now deposed prince.
After all, the eldest prince has never been saddled with the name of treason.
Zhou Lu touched the string of jade beads in his sleeve, only to feel hot.
Originally, he only wanted to sell a good thing to the three princes and save face, but now this thing is a hot potato, if His Majesty thinks that he has a secret relationship with the third prince, and even gives him a message, then he will be finished.
"Xiao Linzi, you keep an eye on the inside, if Your Majesty has any orders, send them in time, wait for the errand to tighten your skin, don't drop the chain at this time, otherwise the miscellaneous family will not be able to protect you." Zhou Lu said.
Xiao Linzi nodded hurriedly: "The slave knows, where is Gonggong Zhou going?" ”
"Don't ask what you shouldn't!"
Zhou Lu glanced at him, and saw that he shrank his head and closed his mouth, and finally explained: "Your Majesty instructed the miscellaneous family to run an errand and let people search the mansion of the third prince, you are here to guard well, don't make a mistake." ”
Xiao Linzi hurriedly said, "The slave understands." ”
After Zhou Lu gave a few more instructions, he made people pay attention to the inside, and then turned to leave.
After waiting out of the Xinuan Pavilion, he did not walk directly towards the place where the forbidden army was stationed, but turned a corner and passed through the imperial garden, and when he reached a bridge, he looked at the lake below that was covered with large lotus leaf stalks without lotus flowers, and the water in it had not yet frozen.
Zhou Lu glanced around, and after seeing that no one was around, he couldn't wait to throw the bead under the bridge.
Listening to the "poof", the bead sinked to the bottom of the water.
Zhou Lu then looked at the surroundings where no one was around and breathed a sigh of relief, after going back, he would definitely destroy all the things that the third prince had sent before, so as not to leave a handle.
He thought about it for a while, and then hurriedly left the bridge and went to the forbidden army to give an order, asking Wei Zhuo to take people to the Three Princes' Mansion to search the mansion.
