Tai, the prince's cousin ......" Xiao Qingchu's face was full of disbelief.

She has been a delicate girl in the Chengen Mansion since she was a child, and she has never been treated like this.

At this moment, although Prince Chu Xin's expression was as gentle as usual, the anger in his eyes made his face hideous and distorted, like a different person.

In particular, he squeezed Xiao Qingchu's chin tightly, with such force that he almost crushed her bones.

"Today, while your father is dead, this palace will teach you to be a good man." The prince said gloomily: "There is never waste around this palace, if you want to be the crown princess of this palace in peace and stability in the future, you must remember that everything must be listened to by this palace, if today's incident is repeated, you will go to be your father's companion, you know?" ”

The burning pain on his face and the feeling that his jaw was almost pinched made Xiao Qingchu deeply understand that all this was not a dream.

Xiao Qingchu was shocked and angry, but she was not ignorant of current affairs.

Tonight, if you want to blame her, she is too gullible to trust the person in front of her, and let herself be alone.

But she Xiao Qingchu was not frightened, and when she went out, she would never let the person in front of her feel better.

Thinking so, Xiao Qingchu lowered her eyes and nodded timidly.

The prince looked at her like this, and the corners of his lips hooked mockingly: "Very good, this palace likes obedient women." ”

As he spoke, he let go of Xiao Qingchu's chin.

Xiao Qingchu gritted his silver teeth and swallowed the anger in his heart.

She pretended to be cowardly, and was about to escape from the secret passage—

Suddenly, Xiao Qingchu only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he didn't know who had turned off the light in the secret passage.

In the next moment, a strong force pulled her into the prince's arms.

Her mouth was tightly covered by a cold hand.

In the dark, the prince's cool voice penetrated into Xiao Qingchu's eardrum like a snake: "Now, this palace has to personally check whether the future crown princess of this palace is real...... Very, listen, talk. ”

The words fell, and the entire secret room echoed with Xiao Qingchu's painful whimper, ...... for a long time

*

In the early hours of the morning, the sky was bright.

When the prince came out of the secret passage, he received the news that the village had been burned.

His satiated countenance became gloomy again.

"You say...... Shen Jinming didn't die after drinking the bat bird's soup? ”

The shadow guard who came to report the news: "Exactly, after he was rescued by the little prince, he was taken to the Zhuangzi of the eldest princess of Yongning by the lord of Yunling, and he never died." ”

The prince groaned for a while, figured out the joints, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Good, good." The prince laughed and said, "It's really hard to find nowhere to go through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!" Sure enough, it's Tensuke Hongu. ”

He said to the shadow guard: "You come here with your ears, there are a few things that this palace wants to explain to you." ”

The shadow guard hurriedly stood up and put his ear on it, and the prince's voice gradually became inaudible......

*

All morning.

There was an uproar in the capital.

First of all, the news that the prince was located in the four villas on the outskirts of Beijing, and at the same time was burned, as if he had grown wings, spread throughout the capital.

The news pointed directly to the mastermind of the burning of Beizhuang, and it was none other than His Royal Highness King Yi.

When this news was spreading more and more intensely, another news made the capital explode in an instant with more explosive content-

said that Jingzhao Mansion and Beiya went to Taizibizhuang to investigate the arson, but inadvertently found that in Taizibizhuang, located in the eastern suburbs, traces of bat birds were found.

Now the Manchu Dynasty knows that the emperor is unconscious, which is caused by the poison of the bat bird when he was assassinated before.

Now there is news that there are bat birds in the prince's village, which instantly made the prince of Cheng'en before his death, because the secret passage between Sihuayuan and the East Palace was exposed, and the rumors that "the prince wanted to ascend the throne in advance, so he killed his father and killed his brother" quietly circulated in the capital were boiling again.

However, boiling is boiling, and all the news is limited to the level of chasing the wind and shadows.

The crown prince's side could not produce empirical evidence to prove that the arson of Beizhuang was really committed by King Yi.

On King Yi's side, he can't identify the poisonous things stewed into meat paste as bat birds.

The news on both sides is deadlocked.

But everyone who heard the news knew very well in their hearts that this was a "fairy fight" between the crown prince and King Yi.

Originally, the crown prince was the emperor's own prince, and when the emperor was in a coma, he could naturally preside over the overall situation of the court and politics, and he could completely call the shots instead of the emperor.

However, including the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, the entire army of the capital was in the hands of King Yi.

So far, under all kinds of news that is unfavorable to the crown prince, King Yi is only ordered to guard the emperor, and does not show the slightest intention to seize the heir.

Such a performance, coupled with King Yi's historical reputation, naturally won a lot of praise among the courtiers.

On one side is the orthodox prince, and on the other side is the prince whose life is entrusted to the emperor.

The two are also brothers.

In such a relationship, despite all kinds of news, before there is real evidence, the situation has been strangely balanced.

However, this balance did not last long -

Just after noon, the prince personally wrote to the empress dowager to meet the last wishes of the prince of Cheng'en and the emperor's joy, and asked Yi to marry Xiao Qingchu, the son of the prince of Cheng'en.

The Queen Mother was naturally overjoyed, and immediately agreed, and ordered Si Tianjian to choose the nearest day for the two to get married.

As soon as this news came out, the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military views on the whole thing were reversed again-

Some people feel that in the current situation, although there is no empirical evidence, the Cheng'en Mansion is suspected of killing the king, and the prince not only kept his distance from him, but married him.

There are also people who think that the prince of Chengen died in order to prove the prince's innocence. And at such a time, the prince asked to marry Xiao Qingchu and support the Chengen Mansion, which was a benevolent and righteous move. Especially those who already have their hearts set on the crown prince, they have strengthened their determination to follow to the death.

Two rumors, a marriage contract, is like a game, and the fight is for the hearts of the ministers.

I have to say that the prince played a good hand of chess.

is just a marriage contract, and most of his lost courtiers will be restored.

At the same time, Xiao Qingchu, who had an accident at home the day before, died of his father, and his status plummeted in the eyes of the ladies in the capital.

Overnight, she became the future princess who was the most envied by the nobles of the capital.

This was originally Xiao Qingchu's most anticipated highlight moment-

But as a party, she hugged the quilt tightly at the moment, sat on the corner of the bed, and trembled.

She hysterically yelled at the maidservants, "Get out! Get out of here! He's a beast! It's a brute! I don't want to marry! I don't want to marry him! ”

If it was usual, her roar would have scared those handmaidens into silence.

And yet, at this moment—

The maidservants were like clay figures, with expressionless faces and pestles in the room, as if they had heard nothing, had seen nothing......
