"Your Majesty, the slave and maid are not under the command of anyone." The two palace maids said at the same time.

Emperor Jianyuan seemed to have expected the answer to the two palace maids, and he looked at Feng Hui expressionlessly.

Receiving Emperor Jianyuan's eyes, Feng Hui clapped his hands, and the crisp applause was particularly clear in the empty hall.

The two palace maids beat drums in their hearts. Both of them were buried in the East Palace, and now they are enabled by their respective masters, so they are ready to sacrifice at any time. But if the guillotine on the top of the head does not fall for a day, you must always hang your heart.

The two little eunuchs each came to the palace maid with a brocade box in their hands and opened it in front of them.

"Ahh After seeing the contents of the box, two screams came from the main hall, which sounded terrible and harsh.

The two palace maids could no longer maintain their kneeling posture, their eyes widened, and they staggered back, as if they had seen a ghost.

Emperor Jianyuan couldn't help frowning.

Feng Hui's expression froze, and he hurriedly waved his hand towards the attendants in the hall.

After the two palace maids were restrained, Feng Huipi said with a smile: "Since you dare to spy on the palace maids, you must be prepared to 'bring disaster to your family', in front of Your Majesty, you have to think before replying!" ”

The two palace maids suddenly looked panicked. The two of them looked desperate, and blood was almost dripping from the corners of their broken eyes.

The reason why they are willing to die is because their respective masters promised them that they would take good care of their families, but now, looking at the heads in the brocade box, the two of them only feel heartbroken!

"Your Majesty!" One of the elderly palace maids gritted her teeth and kowtowed to the emperor on the throne with a "bang-bang": "Slaves, slaves and maids will recruit everything, please let Your Majesty be merciful and let go of the slave's family!" ”

These two palace maids are all people from the capital, with parents and brothers, sisters, no one is careless, both of them are willing to die in order to give their families a future.

As a result, the relatives who should have been arranged by the master to go back fell into the hands of His Majesty, although the heads in the box were only their sisters, but if they were not recruited at this time, the rest of the relatives would not be spared!

Emperor Jianyuan's eyebrows were lowered, and his unfathomable face was calm and waveless.

Such an awe-inspiring and majestic expression, like an unreachable god, coldly overlooking everything in the world!

The palace maid accidentally looked at the emperor's cold gaze, and suddenly frightened her heart and gall, she didn't dare to spy on the emperor anymore, let alone plead more to the emperor, and said in a broken voice: "Your Majesty, the slave maid was originally a maid beside Princess Xianyong, a servant of the Chen family. Since the death of Princess Yong, the slave maid has been assigned to the Hui nobles. ”

The palace maid paused when she said this, and saw that the emperor had no intention of stopping, so she continued: "The slave maid suddenly received the news from her family last night, and learned that the master had been killed, and the slave maid was worried about the old master, so she tried her best to pass the news to the crown princess. ”

"Nonsense!" Before Emperor Jianyuan could speak, Wei Jin couldn't help but reprimand angrily, "You, you dare to quibble when you die!" ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the slave maid is true, and she will never dare to deceive Your Majesty!" The palace maid said with tears in her eyes.

"Shut up!" Emperor Jianyuan bowed. His pitch is not high, but there is a majesty in his voice that cannot be ignored, which makes people suddenly surrender.

"Father!" Wei Jin arched his hand at Emperor Jianyuan, "Since this palace maid is obsessed, please also ask my father to use thunder means to investigate this matter thoroughly!" ”

"I'm talking about you!" Emperor Jianyuan looked at Wei Jin with heavy eyes, and his dark eyes were as deep as a pool, as if an invisible storm was brewing!

Wei Jin couldn't believe it, he looked shocked, and asked his father with red eyes: "Could it be that my father believes this cheap woman's words!" In your heart, is your son as good as a slave? ”

"The servant of the Chen family, but he went to the palace of the Hui nobles on an errand ......" Emperor Jianyuan's face suddenly became cold, his voice was even stronger, and he said angrily, "The Chen family took advantage of your biological mother and you, the prince, to plant people in the harem, and now they are being counterattacked, where did you come from to shout injustice!" ”

The reason why Emperor Jianyuan gave this palace maid the opportunity to bite was to see if the prince could wake up, but the prince's reaction disappointed him again!

"Since the news delivered by this palace maid can make the crown princess convinced, have you ever wondered why?"

Emperor Jianyuan didn't wait for Wei Jin to defend himself and the Chen family, and said directly: "I didn't expect that you wouldn't even be able to see such a simple fact. Since this palace maid is the person who was placed in Jingxiang Palace by the Chen family, how could the crown princess doubt the truth of her words. Therefore, after receiving the news, the crown princess did not wait to confirm the source, and immediately went to this stupid son.

was teased by his biological mother and wife, and he was the prince, but he was no different from a dog raised by the Chen family!

How does Gu Jiuheng teach the prince on weekdays! It's been a few years, and there has been no growth at all!

"Father, what do you mean...... This palace maid was originally the person of the crown princess, but she was rebelled by the people behind the scenes? ”

Wei Jin was not as stupid as Emperor Jianyuan thought. It's just that in his heart, his wife Chen Rong has always been a delicate silk flower, and she can only grow up dependent on her husband. Whoever Wei Jin suspects, he will not doubt his wife!

"It's not stupid." Emperor Jianyuan sneered coldly and said lightly, "You have a wrong sentence, this palace maid is first the Chen family, and then the crown princess." ”

Chen Wei seems to be ambitious, but in fact he is ambitious. A house slave with three surnames, first voted for the abolished prince, and then voted for the fourth, seeing that the big thing could not be done, and wagging his tail and begging for mercy with himself, such a greedy and unethical person, only the prince would not be able to see through Chen Wei's disguise.

Emperor Jianyuan's words made Wei Jin's heart shake a little, but he quickly regained his firmness, and argued with reason: "Father, my uncle is just a foreign minister, even if his hand is stretched out, it can't reach out to the palace. Among them...... There must be some conspiracy! ”

"There is the crown princess, why worry that Chen Wei has no helper."

Emperor Jianyuan's eyes were cold, and his deep voice was not without sarcasm.

It is difficult to prevent thieves. The crown princess is just like her aunt, stupid, short-sighted, but also thinks very highly of herself! Treat everyone in the world except the Chen family as a fool!

Emperor Jianyuan rubbed his temples that were constantly beating, too lazy to listen to this son's nonsense, and said lightly: "Even if I use torture, this palace person will only bite the Chen family to death, and all the evidence will be cut off from the crown princess." ”

Wei Jin didn't believe that his father would come to such a hasty conclusion, because he was too excited, he didn't wait for Emperor Jianyuan to call up, and stood up directly: "Father, aren't these two afraid of sin and their families?" The sons asked their father for their orders, and the sons and daughters directly interrogated the two! ”

"This is how you are as a prince?" Emperor Jianyuan's gaze was indescribable, and he tried his best to make himself appear calm, but his sharp eyebrows still revealed a hint of blade-like sharpness.

"There's no need to interrogate, these two palace maids won't say what you want." Emperor Jianyuan waved his hand towards Feng Hui, "Take it down." ”

Feng Hui received the order and gave the inner attendant a look.

The two palace maids were gagged and dragged down by the attendants. During this time, the two men did not resist at all.

When the people in the hall had retreated, Emperor Jianyuan said lightly: "Whether these two people recruit or not, their families will never be lucky. In the end, silence can still be in the name of loyalty, and if you die, there will be someone who collects the body......"

Emperor Jianyuan paused, and his tone was heavier: "Prince, do you understand?" ”

Emperor Jianyuan said it so simply, how could Wei Jin not understand! His eyes were red, and his gaze at Emperor Jianyuan was full of admiration: "Father, who is always unable to get along with his sons?" ”

After experiencing this scene, Wei Jin can be regarded as understanding that his father has no intention of abolishing the crown prince for the time being, otherwise he would not have sealed the mouths of the two palace maids, so that the two palace maids could no longer say anything unfavorable to him.

"I ask you, do you understand the intentions of the Chen family?" Emperor Jianyuan ignored Wei Jin's question, what he cared about was whether the prince could see the true face of the person next to him after this incident, and whether he would be at the mercy of a woman in the future.

Facing Emperor Jianyuan's cold and cold gaze, Wei Jin suddenly blessed his soul at this moment, he knelt on the ground again, and asked his father for his guilt: "Father, it is the sons and daughters who are too indulgent to the crown princess, so she will make a big mistake, please ask my father to condemn!" ”

Emperor Jianyuan buried so much foreshadowing, it was naturally impossible for Wei Jin to pass the test easily, and he said lightly: "The crown princess has not come out for three years, for the sake of the heirs, it is time for the East Palace to enter the newcomer." I don't know what the prince thinks? ”

Emperor Jianyuan's last sentence was not so much an inquiry as a warning.

Wei Jin's back suddenly oozed a dense layer of cold sweat. He knew in his heart that this was a concession made by his father to this matter, and if he agreed, Rong'er's sin would be not blamed by his father. But if you don't agree......

"Father, son...... Erchen ......" Wei Jin's hands were clenched into fists, his hard fingernails pierced into the flesh, he gritted his back molars, he couldn't say anything to refuse, and in the same way, it was difficult to even nod his head.

"What? Are you struggling? Emperor Jianyuan sneered, this son is really an amorous seed.

Wei Jin's reddened eyes were stained with a hint of pain.

He recalled the candle night in the cave room three years ago: Rong'er was dressed in a water-red gauze dress, green silk like ink, draped over her shoulders, as beautiful as a fairy......

How did you promise her? I said that when I get married, I love each other!

Wei Jin couldn't forget how sweet Rong'er smiled at that time, like the brilliant clouds in the sky gathered in her gorgeous smile.

How could he bear to let Rong'er down!

However, after staring at Shang Jianyuan Emperor Sen as cold as snow, Wei Jin was full of excitement and quickly calmed down.

If...... If his answer is not satisfactory to his father, maybe the crown prince's position will be changed immediately!

Wei Jin's painful heart was dripping blood. He would never have imagined that one day, he would break the promise he had made to his wife for the position of prince.

"Erchen...... Obey! Wei Jin said the last two words in despair.

Emperor Jianyuan frowned slightly, although he was not very satisfied with the prince's children's affection, he did not embarrass him anymore.

Emperor Jianyuan said quietly: "I heard that there is a girl in the Chu family, who is outstanding in all her virtues and skills, although she is a concubine, she has been raised under her mother's knees, and she is called Liangdi, and it is not a grievance." ”

Wei Jin's eyes were shocked.

The Wu family in Jiangnan has always wanted to send the girl in the family to the East Palace, and they did not hesitate to give a heavy gift to their mother-in-law for this reason; Even the clan, many clan relatives have received generous gifts from the Wu family! Rong'er also lost her temper for this! Who is this Chu family girl?!

"Father, I don't know which Chu family girl you mentioned is from the Chu family?" Wei Jin thought like this, and asked like this.

"This daughter of the Chu family is a side branch of the Duke of Chu's mansion, and the great-grandfather of the daughter of the Chu family is the younger brother of the grandfather of the Duke of Chu." Emperor Jianyuan said lightly.

The contradiction between Fuqing and the crown prince was clearly known to Emperor Jianyuan. It is impossible for him to watch his children kill each other, and choosing the daughter of the Chu family as Donggong Liangdi is the first step to reconcile Fuqing and the prince.

"Father! Why is it the daughter of the Chu family! ”

Wei Jin instantly sorted out the identity of the daughter of the Chu family. This daughter of the Chu family and Princess Fuqing's concubine, the prince of Chu has not come out of five suits, and she has to call Chu Yan a brother, and she can be regarded as Princess Fuqing's sister-in-law.

How could Wei Jin accept that the party hostile to him was selected into the East Palace, even if he agreed, the crown princess would not agree!

Taking in the gaffes on the prince's face, Emperor Jianyuan said expressionlessly: "The father of the daughter of the Chu family is the son of the country from the fourth grade, whether it is her background or talent, it is not an insult to you, what are you not satisfied with!" ”

"Erchen doesn't dare!" Wei Jin saw his father's unquestionable determination in this matter, so he could only swallow this bitter fruit by himself.

Emperor Jianyuan was finally satisfied, he pinched his eyebrows impatiently, and said in a deep voice: "The crime of breaking into the palace can be regarded as a reason, so I won't care about you, so retreat." ”

"Father, you haven't told your son, is your son's uncle alive or dead?" Wei Jin was unwilling to retreat. Even if Emperor Jianyuan had completely forgiven his sins. Wei Jin still wants an answer, even if the person in front of him is the emperor!

Emperor Jianyuan let out a long breath, he was really afraid of being angry with this son.

"I thought it was ...... I've made it clear. ”

Chen Wei's life and death, Emperor Jianyuan did not pay attention to it from beginning to end. In front of Wei Jin, Emperor Jianyuan never avoided this question.

The reason why he didn't mention it directly was because Emperor Jianyuan didn't want this name to dirty his lips and tongue.

"I'm still investigating this. Prince, you can retire! Emperor Jianyuan's voice was condensed, and there was endless coldness in his voice.

The prince's entanglement has brought Emperor Jianyuan to the brink of exploding.

Wei Jin was frightened by the coldness in the emperor's words, and finally got amused, he lowered his eyebrows and said: "Father, the son understands it, and the son will retire." ”

Wei Jin staggered out of the main hall.

The sun above his head was dazzling, Wei Jin suddenly squinted, and he couldn't help but shed tears in his eyes.
