Huo Sijin was puzzled, and raised his eyes to look at Chu Zheng.

Seeing that Chu Zheng made a silent gesture towards her, this was to tell her not to speak, Huo Sijin understood and nodded slightly.

Chu Zheng let her go, then pointed underneath and motioned for her to look down.

Huo Sijin expected that someone was coming, so Chu Zheng grabbed her and flew up the tree. However, when she looked down, there was no one below.

No one appeared, Huo Sijin's eyebrows frowned slightly, could it be that she guessed wrong?

However, Huo Sijin thought that since Chu Zheng did this, it must be reasonable, she just waited, don't ask casually.

Sure enough, not long after, several swaying figures appeared on the ground.

When a few people approached, Huo Sijin looked at it and recognized who the person was, and he was suddenly shocked.

There are a total of four people below, three of whom Huo Sijin knows, to be precise, Huo Sijin has seen it in his previous life - the fifth prince Chu Heng, Chengen Hou Yao Dechang, and the person who was tied into a zongzi, Huo Sijin has also seen it, he is Xiao Qingzi, the chamberlain next to Chu Li. As for the last person, the dagger in his hand was against Xiao Qingzi's neck, Huo Sijin guessed that this person should be Chu Heng or Cheng Enhou's subordinate.

"The fifth prince spares his life, and the Hou Ye spares his life......" Xiao Qingzi saw that the blade was about to touch his neck, and his face suddenly turned white with fright.

Chu Heng glanced at his subordinates, and the subordinates understood, and the dagger in his hand was directly attached to Xiao Qingzi's neck.

The cold touch on his neck made Xiao Qingzi's legs weak in fright, and he knelt down directly, and the cold blade was attached to the warm skin, as if life and death bordered, and if he was not careful, the living would become dead.

"Rao...... spare his life...... "Xiao Qingzi was so frightened that he couldn't even speak clearly.

Chu Heng and Cheng Enhou glanced at each other, only to see Cheng Enhou nodded slightly, this little eunuch's courage has been frightened, ask him at this time, he will tell the truth.

"If this prince asks you, you must answer truthfully, and if there is half a lie, cut off your dog's head immediately!" Chu Heng said sharply.

Cut off your head! Xiao Qingzi shook again, his teeth chattered, "Slave...... Minion...... Don't dare ......"

Chu Heng sneered, forgive you for not daring!

"Was the attack on the crown prince done by the third prince?"

Xiao Qingzi shook his head, "Minion...... I don't know ......."

Chu Heng's face changed greatly, and he scolded angrily, "It seems that you don't want your dog head anymore." ”

Xiao Qingzi kowtowed again and again, "Your Highness, the slave really didn't lie, I really don't know." Although the minions served by the side of the three princes, the three princes were cautious, and they only let the minions serve his food and clothing, and the minions did not dare to exceed the rules. Ask the five princes to see clearly, and what the slave said is true. ”

Chu Heng didn't believe Xiao Qingzi's nonsense, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Cheng Enhou and gave him a slightly calming look. Only then did Chu Heng hold back his anger and suppress his anger.

Chengenhou is much calmer than Chu Heng, "Xiao Qingzi, you are the chamberlain who serves the third prince closely, such a big thing as a sneak attack on the crown prince, you said that you don't know at all, you are taking this marquis and His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince as fools, right?" ”

"Of course, if you want to swear allegiance to the three princes, Benhou will not embarrass you, and will give you a good time." As he spoke, Cheng Enhou glanced at the guard, and the guard suddenly raised the dagger in his hand and stabbed straight at Xiao Qingzi's neck......

"No, I said...... I said...... "At the moment when life and death hung by a thread, Xiao Qingzi was so frightened that she peed her pants.

When the night breeze blows, the wet crotch is exceptionally cool. Xiao Qingzi trembled his legs and said tremblingly, "Tai...... The day before the prince was attacked, the servants overheard the guards giving the three princes a packet of medicinal powder, and vaguely listened to what they said about pollen. The slave's ancestral home is Chongzhou, which is rich in intoxicating flowers, and I heard that intoxicating pollen can cause animals to go crazy. ”

"Your Highness, Lord Hou, the slave only knows this, and the others really don't know anything, please ask Your Highness and Lord Hou to spare the slave's life." Xiao Qingzi knelt on the ground with a puff and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Cheng Enhou then asked, "Is that medicine powder still on the third prince?" ”

Xiao Qingzi shook his head, "Your Highness is very cautious, and the medicinal powder is long gone." ”

Hearing this, Chu Heng immediately gave an order, "Kill him!" ”

"Wait." Cheng Enhou immediately stopped him.

Chu Heng was puzzled, "Uncle, I said this after asking for a long time, there is no physical evidence, the testimony of a small eunuch, my father will not believe it." ”

Based on Xiao Qingzi's testimony alone, it is not credible at all, Chu Li can be said to be Chu Heng's trick, and even said that Xiao Qingzi is the person that Chu Heng planted by Chu Li's side.

"He's still useful." Cheng Enhou Zhengse said a word, then walked up to Xiao Qingzi, took off a piece of jade pendant from his waist and handed it to him, Xiao Qingzi looked at Cheng Enhou timidly, and did not dare to reach out to take it.

Cheng Enhou sneered, "You betrayed the third prince today, if he knew about it, you wouldn't be able to live." If you do things for the five princes, neither the five princes nor the marquis will treat you badly. ”

Xiao Qingzi was shocked, indeed, he had betrayed the three princes today, even if he didn't accept the reward of Cheng'en Hou, he couldn't be a little eunuch with his duty.

The hand slowly stretched out, tentatively took the jade pendant, and waited at the prince's side, Xiao Qingzi is also a person with eyes, this jade pendant is round and full in color, clear and flawless, and is worth at least five hundred taels.

When he held a jade pendant worth five hundred taels in the palm of his hand, Xiao Qingzi's uneasy heart calmed down, and he immediately knelt down towards Chengenhou, "Slave Xie Hou Ye, Xie Your Highness reward." ”

……

The people below all left, and Chu Zheng pulled Huo Sijin down.

"Huo Gongzi, seeing that you look as usual, you don't seem to be surprised at all." Chu Zheng raised his eyes to look at Huo Sijin, and under the reflection of the moonlight, his eyes looked extremely sharp.

When Huo Sijin flew up the tree, she didn't know why, but now when she came down from the tree, Huo Sijin instantly understood. No wonder Chu Zheng asked her to meet her in the pavilion at night, and that scene was exactly the exam question that Chu Zheng gave her.

Not everyone can be the prince's advisor.

"Although Changjin is not as strategizing as His Royal Highness the Prince, he is not a stupid person. As for ...... surprise," Huo Sijin smiled lightly, "What is the situation in the Jingbei Hou Mansion, presumably His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also heard of it, Changjin is in a difficult situation, and he has long learned to be calm and self-controlled." ”

Chu Zheng's phoenix eyes were raised, and the corners of his lips actually outlined a smile that seemed to be nothing, "Huo Gongzi, it seems that you are really hiding it." Outsiders thought that the eldest son of the Marquis of Jingbei was mediocre, but unexpectedly, Huo Gongzi had already understood the situation in the court clearly, and the palace wanted to hear your opinion today. ”
