Half an hour later—

The Flying Fish Guard and the officials of the Jingzhao Mansion walked along the secret passage that had been blown up, and turned around and came out of it, confirming that the secret passage was leading to the Chengen Mansion.

This news is exactly the same as the previous report of Flying Fish Guard when he was exploring the secret passage of the Chengen Mansion.

At that time, Zhou Zhi and the others heard it and didn't dare to say anything.

And at this moment—

Zhou Zhi was originally a pure minister who was only loyal to the emperor, and the adults he called this time were all pure ministers like him.

When they realized the connection between the secret passage, Xiao Baiyuan and the East Palace, their faces immediately changed.

Not only them, but even Xiao Jingcheng, who was forced to be carried here in a soft sedan chair, his face was pale.

At this point, there was a news of the secret passage to the Cheng'en Mansion in Sihua Garden, and it quickly spread to the entire capital.

Not only that, but even what happened in the secret passage of the Cheng'en Mansion spread out through this news.

Chu Yi's face was extremely cold.

At this moment, he no longer cared about the "provocative" gaze cast by Chu Zhan.

He turned his head and said in a deep voice to Zhou Zhi and the adults: "The prince will be handed over to you, and this king will enter the palace and ask what is going on." ”

After saying this, he raised his eyes into the distance, glanced at Shen Shu, directly turned over his horse, and galloped away in the direction of the palace.

When he was far away, Zhou Zhi glanced at each other with several ministers present, and then smiled at Xiao Jingcheng, the prince of Chengen: "Lord Shizi, the matter has come to this, Lord Shizi still goes to Jingzhao Mansion with the officials to explain things clearly, and also makes the officials easy to deal with." ”

Without King Yi present, Xiao Jingcheng's face finally slowly turned around.

He coldly swept over Zhou Zhi and several other ministers present, closed his eyes, and sat on the soft sedan chair without saying a word.

Putting on a good posture, neither intend to speak, but are even more prepared not to cooperate.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhi smiled slightly on the corner of his lips.

He waved his hand to the official carrying the sedan chair, and the group was silent and drove towards Jingzhao Mansion.

Shen Shu and Chu Zhan walked down from the high slope and happened to see this scene.

"Xiao Jingcheng is very deep in the city, he must not easily confide the truth, Zhou Zhi is a famous old fox, these two people meet, it seems that there is a grind." Chu Zhan said as if he was having fun.

Shen Shu thought of Fang Cai, Chu Yi's back turned and left.

"I don't think it'......" she said worriedly: "In the final analysis, as long as King Yi believes that the crown prince did it, it doesn't matter whether Xiao Jingcheng will reveal the truth or not." ”

"Are you worried about him like this?" Chu Zhan sneered: "I heard that His Royal Highness King Yi has 800,000 forbidden troops in his hands, even if the emperor wakes up, he may not be able to move him, so why should you bother yourself." ”

Shen Shu's eyes drooped slightly: "You know very well that a person like him, even if he is given the throne, he may not be ......."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Chu Zhan, and he persuaded earnestly: "You are still young and don't understand the meaning of the throne to men, even if you are King Yi, you may not be exempt from vulgarity, this kind of talk...... Don't jump to conclusions. ”

Shen Shu raised her eyes and looked at him: "You say this about him, what about you?" You once said that you avenged me in your previous life, Xiao Qingchu was the emperor and queen, you killed her, have you ever had the opportunity to sit on the seat of the Ninety-Five, and if you have the opportunity, how did you choose? ”

Hearing her mention this, Chu Zhan's face was slightly sluggish.

He shook off his folding fan and shook it, hiding the suspicious flush on his face.

"I'm used to being idle, and the throne is of course unattractive to me......"

When Shen Shu saw him like this, the corners of her lips curled, and she nodded with a smile: "Yes, even you are not interested in that person, let alone King Yi." ”

After saying this, she made a grimace at Chu Zhan, turned around and got on the horse directly, and headed in the direction of the county lord's mansion.

Chu Zhan was choked by her like this, and the old blood was instantly choked in his heart.

He pointed angrily at Shen Shu's back: "What do you mean by 'even me'?" If it weren't for you, I'd go to great lengths...... That's it, me! ”

※

This one.

Chu Yi's face was extremely cold, and his whole body exuded an aura that no one could approach.

He strode into the Taiji Hall, and just walked into the dormitory with his feet up—

I saw my mother-in-law, Xiao Jin, the queen's mother, who had not seen her for many days, kneeling in front of the emperor's couch with her hairpin off.

Chu Yifeng's eyes were slightly deep.

He took two steps, walked to the queen's side, lifted the feet of his robe, and knelt in front of the queen.

"Why is the queen mother kneeling in front of her father's bed like this?" Chu Yi asked in a deep voice.

The queen turned her head to look at him, her eyes full of self-blame: "It's me who is not good, I only care about worshipping the Buddha all day long, and don't ask about the world, I didn't expect the misunderstanding between your brothers to be so deep...... It's all for my mother's ......."

"Misunderstanding?"

When Chu Yi heard this, he immediately understood that it must have been the prince who said something in front of the queen mother.

His eyes were cold.

I don't want to ask the queen what the prince said.

He glanced around with great speed and asked in a cold voice, "Where is he?" ”

Seeing his terrifying momentum, the queen hurriedly grabbed his hand: "Tell me first, do you think that your imperial brother poisoned you and the emperor?" ”

Chu Yi sneered: "Didn't he tell you that it wasn't him?" The secret passage of the Cheng'en Mansion connects to his Sihua Garden, Xiao Baiyuan died in the secret passage, and Zhou Jinxi, who was next to his father, was working for him, except for him, no one could direct these people to ......"

"Yes!"

The queen's face was grim and interrupted him: "Of course, there are people who can command these people. If you think about it carefully, who is the backer behind the Chengen Mansion, and who was her favorite son back then? This is something that the entire Great Zhou Dynasty knows, why don't you doubt them, and you want to suspect your brother-in-law? ”

Chu Yifeng's eyes moved slightly.

He naturally knew that the backer behind the Chengen Mansion was the Queen Mother.

And the Queen Mother's favorite son was the late Ten Princes, Lao Rui Wang Chu Tianxi.

After the battle of Yunjiang, Chu Yi knew that the Ten Princes were not dead.

The identity and status of the Queen Mother and the Ten Princes...... Of course, it can also be pointed out to make the Chengen Mansion and Zhou Jinxi.

However, this is only speculation.

"It is an indisputable fact that one of the exits of the secret passage is in Sihua Garden." Chu Yi said in a deep voice.

When the queen heard this, she directly took out a drawing from her sleeve and handed it to Chu Yi: "This is a drawing drawn by a craftsman at the beginning of the establishment of Sihua Garden sixty years ago. That secret passage was also built by the first emperor in order to save his life. It would be too hasty for you to condemn your royal brother just because of this secret passage. ”

Chu Yi took the drawing and stared at it.

The drawings have been yellowed and faded because of the age.

However, judging from the lines outlined in ink, the exits of the secret passage identified today do indeed match the drawings one by one.

Chu Yi looked at it carefully, he was in charge of the Beiya, and naturally understood that such drawings and ink could not be faked......
