Coming out of the Xuanzheng Palace, it was already the beginning of the lights outside. The bitter north wind whistled by, and some of them slipped into their clothes while the neckline was slightly open, and the biting chill made people shiver.

The snow had stopped at some point, and the air was completely devoid of that turbid breath, and a refreshing air greeted me. The ground was covered with a thick layer of snow, and when you stepped on it, it "crunched". In the sky, the bright moon is finally willing to show up! It shines its light vigorously, illuminating the path under people's feet. And looking through the moonlight, you will find that the snow on the ground seems to be shining like a diamond, crystal clear, ice and jade.

At this time, the Queen Mother had no time to enjoy this beautiful snowy night, and her face was covered with vicissitudes and tiredness.

"When your imperial uncle and aunt are ready, take them to the palace. The mourners want to see them one last time before they leave! I couldn't help but close my eyes, the pain in my eyes was suffocating!

This loyal, honest and filial son, if there is no accident, I am afraid that it will be difficult for them to see each other again!

The prince was so sad that he almost ran out of breath! But in order not to let his imperial grandmother notice, he secretly calmed down and tried his best to make his voice soft: "Yes, imperial grandmother, grandson knows!" The snow on the ground is too thick to walk, so let your grandchildren hold you! ”

The old man didn't speak, but grabbed Xiao Yiqing's hand tightly, and it seemed that she was not grasping a hand but a life-saving straw.

The grandparents and grandchildren returned to the Buddha hall with love and speechlessness.

————————————

Prince Gong's mansion was deadly silent.

It's only been a day, but it's like a century. Everywhere is depressed and dusty. In the garden, a thigh-thick red pine tree was cut off because it grew on the side of the road, blocking the way of others. Some precious flowers and plants that have failed have been trampled, and now only the broken branches are left in the mud! There is also a cinnabar plum that was transplanted only in the spring of this year, which is only the thickness of a thumb, and it has long been gone! I went to check it out, only to find that there was only a small dirt pit left, which turned out to have been uprooted and taken away!

And that's not all! The halls, flower halls, courtyards of various masters, wing rooms, etc., are everywhere in a mess, as if they have been ransacked by bandits!

Xiao Jingyan and others are extremely popular! Even Li Yue, who has always been gentle and elegant, couldn't help but change her face!

On the other hand, Xiao Chuhe's expression was calm and expressionless, as if he didn't care at all that his home was destroyed like this! But only he knows how angry he is inside! Just like the long-dormant volcano, it looks calm on the surface, but in fact there is an undercurrent surging, and the magma in the belly of the mountain is already about to erupt!

"Lord Wang, Ruoruo hasn't come back yet?!" The hidden fire in his eyes made Li Yue's heart tremble, but even so, she could always easily extinguish it.

Sure enough, anger was replaced by panic: "What's going on?!" What about Steward Lee? Is Jingyi back? ”

At this moment, Xiao Jingyi flew in from outside the door.

"Father, I'm here!" As soon as he landed, he rushed towards Xiao Chuhe, "Father, what the hell is going on?!" How can you and your mother be caught?! I've heard ......"

"Enough, enough! What if? Where is she? Xiao Chuhe really didn't have the patience to listen to these nonsense, so he simply interrupted it, and then asked eagerly.

Xiao Jingyi then thought that his father was afraid that he didn't know about it! Then he said: "Father, Cheng Bu is gone!" Ruo Ruo went to find him. Don't worry, if Ruo and the people under her are very powerful, she will be fine! ”

"Whew~" Xiao Chuhe breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as she's fine!" ”

After speaking, he took Li Yue back to Qixia Courtyard. He already knows the Queen Mother's instructions, so he has to enter the palace quickly!

There was no hot water, and they didn't even take a bath, so they and Li Yue only changed their clothes and hurried into the palace.

I thought that the old lady was old and easy to fall asleep, but she may have fallen asleep at this time. But I never thought that in the huge and warm and quiet main hall, the old lady sat alone on a chair, her eyes were gently closed, her head supported by her hands little by little, and her body swayed back and forth, looking very sleepy!

And what Xiao Chuhe and his wife saw when they came in was such a scene.

"The Queen Mother." Li Yue called softly, but the old lady didn't answer, she seemed to be sleeping soundly.

Also!

In the afternoon, she dealt with the matter of the crown prince and ordered to save Xiao Chuhe's family, but some ministers disagreed, and she fought with them again...... It's really a waste of her effort!

Seeing this, Xiao Chuhe made a silent gesture to Li Yue, and walked towards his mother.

In this life, his daughter-in-law has only hugged Li Yue, and his daughter has only Xiao Ruoruo to hug. And the mother has never been hugged! Unexpectedly, he had this opportunity tonight!

The mother is extremely light, curled up in his arms, like a well-behaved and cute cat! He didn't dare to move too much, he was extremely gentle! Just because her mother slept lightly, she woke up if one was not good!

Gently walked to the side of the bed, and was about to bend down to put it down, the eyelashes of the person in his arms trembled slightly, and he opened his eyes at once.

"Ouch hey, let me down! Is! What do you look like like this! The Queen Mother struggled to get down. As he spoke, his wrinkled face was dyed red, and all the way to the back of his ear, it was all crimson! I was still a little drowsy, but now I woke up!

After landing, he glared at Xiao Chuhe with disgust. Li Yue smiled and stepped forward to help her arm, allowing her to sit back in the chair.

"Queen Mother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks to see you!"

At this moment, Mama Sun, who was guarding the door, opened her mouth, but it just resolved her unnaturalness.

"Ahem!" She coughed, and her face returned to its previous peace, before she spoke, "Please come in, prince!" ”

After a while, a bright yellow figure floated in.

After saluting each other and sitting down separately, everyone got down to business.

"The mourning family's edict, your husband and wife must have received it. You have been wronged! The Queen Mother's voice was a little choked, and the prince's expression was a little heavy.

Xiao Chuhe and Li Yue shook their heads busily.

"Queen Mother, this is already the best result for us!" Xiao Chuhe had a smile on his face, but there was a pile of sadness in his eyes. Whoever is forced to leave the place where he has lived for half his life, and can never go back, will not have a good time!

"It is no longer possible for the retainers and the emperor to coexist peacefully! Sooner or later, either the emperor forced his sons to die, or the sons left or ...... Revolt! I believe that no one wants to see this situation! Therefore, it is already the best result for Erchen to leave! ”

When these words came out, everyone present thought that at the same time, it was not a taste in their hearts! The Queen Mother couldn't hold back and began to sob, but fortunately Li Yue was comforting her. Xiao Chuhe lowered his head, and he didn't know what the expression was on his face, and for a while, the hall was shrouded in a sad atmosphere!

In the end, it was the prince who opened his mouth and dispelled the thick clouds: "My nephew is a little puzzled in my heart, and I ask the imperial uncle to clear his doubts!" ”

After speaking, everyone looked at him, and Xiao Chuhe raised his head without exception: "Prince, please speak." ”

"This morning, did the imperial uncle really go to the envoy's palace? Did you really stay there for a full hour? The prince looked stern.

Knowing that he was trying to figure out what happened in the morning, the Queen Mother and Li Yue also set their eyes on Xiao Chuhe, who was also unclear.

Xiao Chuhe said categorically: "Indeed! However, it was the five princes of Xilin who sent someone to invite him...... I! As soon as I entered, someone took me straight to his dormitory! The meeting place was set in such a private dormitory! I knew something was wrong, so I didn't go in, but at this time, Ji Baihan called me inside! ”

"At that time, I thought he wanted to discuss with me about borrowing troops, but I was afraid that the wall would have ears, so I ordered someone to take me to his dormitory. So I hesitated for a moment, and then went in. ”

But he didn't get into the business after being polite to me for a long time, so I wanted to resign and leave! Seeing that he couldn't keep me, he just said the purpose of inviting me to go! ”

"It turned out that he noticed the emperor's dislike for me at the banquet the day before yesterday. I was invited to go to persuade me to think more about myself and Prince Gong's mansion. He also said that he was willing to be on my side and provide me with all the assistance I needed to ascend to the throne! ”

I refused at the time, and taught him a lesson quite sharply! But he kept talking wildly, and I was so angry that I threw my sleeves and left! ”

However, just after leaving his palace gate, the Nanyue envoy on the opposite side sent someone to invite him! The same scene, the same words, just a different place, a different person, this kind of thing happened again! I simply left directly, and planned to go into the palace to report to the emperor! But when I think of the emperor...... So I went straight home! ”

Hehe! In this way, this matter is completely an attempt by Xilin and Nanyue to provoke civil strife in East Lebanon! What a poisonous ploy!

Everyone's face is not very good.

The crown prince's gaze, which was as deep as the vast universe, was still on his body and did not move away: "So, what about the poisoning of my father?" ”

"What! He was poisoned?! Didn't he say he was sick?! How can it be poisoned?! Who was the poisoner? Have you caught it? How unreasonable! In the palace, there are people who dare to walk ......"

"But the person who was poisoned by my nephew is you!"

“……”

All the words came to an abrupt end! Except for the crown prince, everyone else looked incredulous!

It took a long time for Xiao Chuhe to regain his voice: "This... This..."

After Li Yue reacted, he quickly knelt in front of the prince, his face was panicked, and he said with a thick cry in his voice: "Prince, Chu He is definitely not poisoned!" He is a bold and straightforward person, and he can't think of such a roundabout method! Rather than convince me that he poisoned the emperor, it is better to say that he rebelled to be credible! ”

Of course, the prince knew this, otherwise he would not have forcibly detained the so-called human and material evidence, and then took the matter to private talk.

He hurriedly helped Li Yue up, and explained: "My nephew knows! Nephew knows! Don't be excited! ”
