The news that Xiao Jingcheng, the prince of Chengen, was in front of the gate of Jingzhao Mansion and died by hitting a pillar, and within half an hour, it seemed to have grown wings, and spread throughout the capital.

Together with the words he said before he died, they were also spread by people with good intentions.

For a time, there were two voices circulating in the entire capital and even among the Manchu Dynasty.

The first voice said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to ascend the throne ahead of schedule, so he poisoned the emperor and King Yi.

Another voice said that King Yi deliberately laid out the plan to force the prince of Chengen to death, framed the prince, and tried in vain to seize the heir.

No matter which voice it is, everyone who hears these rumors has a consensus -

That was the beginning of the battle for the succession of the two highnesses.

Chu Yi saw Xiao Jingcheng's flesh-and-blood body with his own eyes, and thought of the way he mocked Zhou Zhi when he left-

It doesn't seem to feel like it's going to die.

Chu Yijian's eyebrows frowned slightly.

In his opinion, under the current situation, Xiao Jingcheng did not have to seek death at all.

But he abruptly chose the path of death.

If Xiao Jingcheng has not been planning for a long time, it is a temporary idea.

Thinking of this, Chu Yi realized something, and his face sank.

"Go and check, before Xiao Jingcheng died, he had contact with someone." He ordered to Huai'an beside him.

*

Xiao Jingcheng's body was personally sent back to the Chengen Mansion by Chu Yi.

Xiao Dezong, the Duke of Cheng'en, lost his beloved son and fainted directly.

A female dependents of the princess knelt in front of Xiao Jingcheng's corpse, and they all cried into tears.

When the Queen Mother heard the bad news, she left the palace in person and went to the Chengen Mansion.

Even the crown prince hurriedly came out of the temple to accompany him.

Because of the noble status of the prince of Chengen, and the death of "well-known", plus the queen mother left the palace, the two highnesses are here-

No one in the Manchu Dynasty dared to pretend to turn a blind eye anymore, and went to the Cheng'en Mansion to mourn.

For a time, the Chengen Mansion was full of traffic.

Under the attention of many ministers, as soon as the Queen Mother saw Chu Yi, she was immediately filled with grief and anger.

"You bastard!"

She scolded angrily, in front of those ministers, picked up the dragon head staff in her hand, and was about to smash it at Chu Yi-

Seeing this, the prince on his side hurriedly stopped as soon as possible: "Imperial grandmother, this matter must be a misunderstanding, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive." ”

"Misunderstanding? Impulse? The Queen Mother pointed at Chu Yi angrily: "You ask him, why did Jingcheng say those words before he died!" It's all because of him! Stirred up the palace and the palace and the palace to live in peace! ”

The prince moved his lips, and before he could speak, he was intercepted by Chu Yi in a cold voice: "I had already let him go, but I didn't expect him to crash into the pillar and die, and I will find out the reason." ”

After saying this, Chu Yi's gaze lightly swept over the faces of the people in the Chengen Mansion present, and finally, it fell on the prince's still kind face.

"One thing is one thing." Chu Yi said coldly: "Xiao Baiyuan is involved in the case of the assassination of his father and this king, and this king will definitely find out clearly." Today, it has been found that the secret passage of the Cheng'en Mansion is connected to the East Palace, and for whatever reason, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be able to escape the involvement. ”

"From today on, unless my father can wake up, otherwise, before the matter is clarified, the Feiyuwei of the Northern Ya will always be outside the gate of the Chengen Mansion and the East Palace, and everyone will mourn and change and do it for themselves."

These words put the queen mother's anger one Buddha out of the body, and the second Buddha ascended to heaven.

She pointed at Chu Yi: "You, you bastard, you dare to ...... Dare to ......"

However, before she finished scolding, Chu Yi had already surrendered her hand: "Queen Mother, before my father fell into a coma, he had handed over all the 800,000 forbidden troops to this king, and instructed this king to bring to justice those who dared to enter the palace to assassinate, and now everything this king is doing is only to save his father, and there is no selfishness, as long as the East Palace and the Cheng'en Mansion no longer make misleading moves, this king will not be embarrassed by the prince and the Cheng'en Mansion." ”

After Chu Yi said this, he said goodbye to the Queen Mother, turned around and strode out of the upper room.

Chu Yi said these words mercilessly, and the implication was that if the prince and the East Palace acted rashly, he would not show mercy.

The meaning of the words was so shocked that the ministers present were shocked, and their eyebrows jumped.

The emperor has been in a coma for several days, and King Yi has 800,000 forbidden troops in his hands, and he is a well-known god of war in the hearts of the people......

The time, the location, and the people's hearts are all towards the king of Yi.

If he really had the intention of "killing the monarch and seizing the heir", with the current situation, he would not need to say anything more to take the imperial city in the name of "Qingjun's side".

However, at this moment, instead of doing this, King Yi said in front of so many people that he would send the Flying Fish Guard to monitor the East Palace and the Chengen Mansion.

Putting everything in front of people is undoubtedly the best way to dispel rumors.

Chu Yi's attitude is enough to make people believe that he is not a person who intends to "frame the prince and try to seize the heir" as previously rumored.

Thinking of this, the expressions of everyone present became a little subtle.

These ministers are all veterans of officialdom, so naturally they will not make a hasty conclusion based on just a few words from King Yi.

It's just that the people who originally supported the second rumor have unconsciously loosened their attitudes......

No matter how big the death of the prince of Cheng'en is, how big the trouble is-

Shen Shu, who stayed in the county lord's mansion of Fu'anfang County in the capital and was anxiously waiting for news from Shen Jinming, didn't have the time to inquire about what happened between the Cheng'en Mansion, the East Palace and King Yi.

When the last rays of dusk burn out, the night covers the land.

Shen Shu finally waited for Shen Jinming's news.

"Girl! Girl! The Third Young Master has found it! ”

Green Peach hurriedly ran in from outside, with a look of surprise on her face: "Girl, the third young master has found it!" It was the little prince who found it, and the little prince brought the third young master back! ”

When Shen Shu heard this, she stood up.

"Where are they? How's my brother doing? She asked, raising her foot to rush out.

Lu Tao grabbed her: "Don't worry, girl, the little prince asked someone to bring a letter, saying that the third young master was just unconscious, and there were no external injuries on his body except for the previous leg injury, so he asked you not to worry." Now that the city gate has been closed, wait until tomorrow morning, and he and the Yunling County Lord will send the third young master back. ”

"Lord Yunling?" Shen Shu was taken aback: "How come there is still the Lord of Yunling?" No, the county lord is precious, and he is unmarried, how can I find a way to take them back because my brother stays away at will. That's right! Feiyun Feiyu, they must have a way. ”

Shen Shu said that he was about to go to the outer courtyard to find Feiyun, but was blocked by Green Peach again.

"Girl, you forgot, Feiyun is not here."

Green Peach hurriedly said: "After Feiyun sent the letter to King Yi's Mansion, he didn't come back. In the afternoon, Fei Yu also went out, leaving a message to reassure the girl, they all went out of the city this time, and they would definitely be able to find the third young master. ”

If Shen Shu had heard the news before, he would have been able to relieve the anxiety in his heart.

But at this moment—

She first heard that Chu Zhan had found the third brother and would come back with the third brother.

Later, I heard that Feiyun Feiyu took all the shadow guards out of the city to find the third brother.

Shen Shu's heart became up and down.

The shadow guards of the Yiwang Mansion won't have anything to do with Chu Zhan, right?

With this thought, Shen Shu no longer wanted to wait like this.

She hurriedly ordered: "Green Peach, prepare the horse, I will go to the Yiwang Mansion." ”
