Jingzhao Province.

A small courtyard close to the back of the government was heavily guarded by the officials and was very heavily guarded.

Zhou Zhi stood in the upper room, looking at Xiao Jingcheng, the prince of Cheng'en, who had been sitting on a chair with his eyes closed from Fang Cai to the present.

He seemed to smile and persuaded: "Lord Shizi, according to the lower officials, don't hide it, now the matter of the secret passage has spread throughout the capital, and the streets and alleys are spreading...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was the mastermind behind the poisoning of the Emperor and His Royal Highness King Yi. ”

"Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen Mother are unable to protect themselves, you know the character of His Royal Highness King Yi, if you can confide the truth, assist Jingzhao Mansion and Beiya, solve the case, and relieve the poison of the emperor's coma, it will also be regarded as a crime."

"Vibe? Atonement? Xiao Jingcheng didn't open his eyes, and sneered: "Without evidence, what's the use of rumors?" What is the sin of this son? No matter how powerful King Yi is, is it difficult to be convicted with empty words? Even if the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are blind, there are still many people who are watching with their eyes open. Lord Zhou has always regarded himself as a pure minister, why did he turn to King Yi's side now? ”

"The lower officials are naturally doing things for the emperor." Zhou Zhi replied with a light smile: "Don't hide it from the prince, two days before the emperor fell into a coma, he also gave a secret decree to the lower officials, asking the lower officials to fully cooperate with His Royal Highness King Yi in investigating the case. ”

"I think the emperor has long been suspicious...... Now for the lower officials, helping King Yi is to be loyal to the emperor, I believe that His Royal Highness King Yi will be able to unravel the emperor's poison sooner or later, and when the emperor wakes up, the prince and the Chengen Mansion will ...... And how? The powerful relationship between this, the prince still has to weigh it more. ”

When Xiao Jingcheng heard this, he finally opened his eyes.

He looked at Zhou Zhi, the corners of his lips curled up like a smile and a mockery, and he closed his eyes again.

Although he didn't say it, he was very mocking of the matter of "the emperor woke up".

Zhou Zhi was not discouraged when he saw him looking like he didn't eat oil and salt.

"The prince didn't figure it out, so he was born in this Jingzhao Mansion and thought about it, if he didn't understand it for a day, he thought about it for two days, and if he didn't think about it for two days, he thought about it for four days, this courtyard in the Xiaguan Mansion has good feng shui and good food, so he can think about it slowly."

"Zhou Zhi, you are a little Jing Zhaoyin, dare to imprison this son?" Xiao Jingcheng asked sharply.

Zhou Zhi replied with a smile: "The prince is wrong to blame the lower officials, now in extraordinary times, the lower officials ask the prince to come to the palace to assist the lower officials in saving the emperor, that is for the emperor's dragon body, how can it be imprisoned?" The prince should also take a look and see if the two masters in the palace will come to visit you in the past two days. ”

After saying this, Zhou Zhi bowed his hand respectfully to Xiao Jingcheng, turned around and left the courtyard.

Soon after he left, one of the servants came into the house with food.

"Lord Shizi, this is today's meal, and I invite Lord Shizi to enjoy it." The official said respectfully.

Xiao Jingcheng's eyes were closed tightly, indifferent.

Seeing this, the official picked up a bowl of rice from the tray, put it in Xiao Jingcheng's hand, and said in a low voice: "The proprietor asked the villain to pass a message to the prince, and tomorrow the proprietor will fulfill the promise to the prince, but ...... The prince must also show sincerity and solve the current predicament of the proprietor. ”

Xiao Jingcheng opened his eyes suddenly, looking at the official with a complicated expression.

He was silent for a long time, then nodded.

When Chu Yi arrived at Jingzhao Mansion, it was already approaching dusk.

He calculated the time, and it was not long from the time estimated by Shen Shu at the beginning.

Therefore, Chu Yi exchanged greetings with Zhou Zhi in the palace, and proposed to go to the Houya to personally judge the prince of Chengen.

Zhou Zhi invited Chu Yi into the courtyard, and along the way, he told Chu Yi the truth about what he had said to Xiao Jingcheng before, and at the end, he whispered: "Xia Guan feels that the prince seems to be very sure that His Majesty will not wake up. ”

Chu Yi's eyes were slightly dark.

"Whether my father is awake or not, I can't tell him." He said lightly.

Zhou Zhi bowed and said yes, led Chu Yi to the upper room, and personally guarded the door.

Chu Yi strode into the house, didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out the prescription that the prince sent to the mansion from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Jingcheng.

"This king got this prescription from the secret passage of the East Palace, is it true or false?"

Xiao Jingcheng's eyes were tightly closed, he obviously heard King Yi's words, but he didn't have the intention of answering.

Chu Yi looked at him coldly: "If you tell the truth, I will let you go." ”

These words finally made Xiao Jingcheng open his eyes.

He lowered his eyes and saw the contents of the prescription, and his body was visibly shocked.

Just then, Xiao Jingcheng subconsciously replied: "Fake." ”

Chu Yifeng's eyes narrowed slightly.

People's first reaction can't deceive people.

Xiao Jingcheng's reaction at first sight when he saw this prescription was obviously that he had seen this prescription.

Moreover, it can be heard from Fang Cai Zhou Zhi's words that Xiao Jingcheng is unwilling to let his father sober up.

With the combination of the two, Chu Yi can determine that this recipe must be true, and Xiao Jingcheng told a lie.

He thought of what Shen Shu said before, Xiao Jingcheng Yang's life was about to end.

Xiao Jingcheng is the son of Cheng'en Gong, and before the empirical evidence is caught, if he dies in Jingzhao Mansion, it will be a big trouble for Chu Yi and Zhou Zhi.

Thinking of this, Chu Yi put the prescription back into his sleeve pocket and said lightly: "This king will believe you once for the time being, you can go." ”

Xiao Jingcheng raised his eyes to look at him, and a few hints of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He didn't expect Chu Yi to believe his words so easily.

I didn't expect that I would be able to leave Jingzhao Mansion so easily.

Xiao Jingcheng stood up and walked out of the door without saying a word.

As soon as he left the room, he saw Jingzhao Yin Zhouzhi's face and couldn't hide his surprise.

Xiao Jingcheng thought of what Zhou Zhi said to him not long ago, "If you don't succeed in one day, you will think about it for two days".

He paused and smiled mockingly at Zhou Zhi: "Master Zhou is disappointed, your yard is really good, or ...... Keep it for yourself. ”

After saying this, Xiao Jingcheng snorted coldly, raised his feet and walked outside the mansion.

However, he had just walked out of the gate of the mansion -

Leng Buding saw that the official who had brought him food before was standing next to the stone lion at the entrance of the palace.

The servant's eyes were cold, and he gestured to him to wipe his neck.

Xiao Jingcheng's spine was cold.

It immediately occurred to him that if he left Jingzhao Mansion like this, if he could not relieve the prince's difficulties, the prince would no longer fulfill his previous promise to him......

Thinking of this, Xiao Jingcheng paused and closed his eyes.

Then, he gritted his teeth and turned around, facing the gate of Jingzhao Mansion, and scolded loudly: "Chu Yi, Zhou Zhi!" You disregard the emperor's life, and want to use this son to frame the East Palace, seize the throne, and usurp the throne, this son of the world's loyalty to the court, to the emperor, and to the prince can be shown to the sun and the moon, today, this son is willing to die to clear his will, I curse you, not to die well! ”

After saying this, he exerted all his strength, aimed at the stone lion in front of the gate of Jingzhao Mansion, and slammed into it!
