It didn't take long for Zhang Xiaotian to be imprisoned spread throughout the capital, and his charges were not only for hiding the dragon robe in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but also for murdering the eldest prince and the second prince.

Such a crime has not allowed the emperor to directly ask for Zhang Xiaotian's life, and it can also be seen that his status in the emperor's heart is indeed a little extraordinary, which is extremely important.

Of course, the charge related to the secret possession of the dragon robe and the intention to rebel is how the emperor trusted Zhang Xiaotian, and at this time he was bound to be suspicious of Zhang Xiaotian.

Even if someone framed the matter between the eldest prince and the second prince, how can the matter of the dragon robe be explained? You must know that when Zhang Xiaotian saw the package, his first reaction was to hide it!

What does this mean? On behalf of Zhang Xiaotian, he knows what is in there!

"Your Majesty, don't be angry." Gonggong Wan was softly relieved, "The eldest prince is in such a bad condition now, if you fall again, who else can share the government affairs for you?" ”

"The old slave knows that you are very sad and angry because of the matter of the Prime Minister, but you can't hurt the dragon body!" Father-in-law Wan can be described as bitter, persuading the emperor over and over again.

But no matter what Gonggong Wan said, the emperor's complexion did not improve a bit. After a long time, the emperor suddenly stood up and paced back and forth with his hands in his hands, making Gonggong Wan dazzled.

"Go, let the third child enter the palace."

When the emperor stopped, he said something that made Wan Gonggong stunned. He knew what Chu Ci's plans were after that, so he also had a plan.

But at this time, the emperor said such a thing, which surprised Wan Gonggong's heart. Wan Gonggong's original plan was to knock on the side by himself and let the emperor set his eyes on Chu Ci's body, but at this time-

It didn't seem like he needed to work any further.

Of course, the premise is that the emperor is looking for Chu Ci for a good thing.

"Where is Zhou Yunxi?" But before Wan Gonggong went out to give orders, the emperor spoke again, asking Wan Gonggong to stop, "Are you still alive?" ”

"Previously, the little eunuch under the old slave said that Miss Zhou was punished too severely, and you fainted soon after you left the palace......

"It doesn't matter." The emperor waved his hand, "Just live." ”

After the emperor's words, Wan Gonggong knew in his heart that the emperor was not ready to pursue this matter.

However, thinking that the emperor would not ask about Zhou Yunxi for no reason, he also bent his waist and asked respectfully: "Does the emperor want to announce Miss Zhou together?" ”

"Just hang on to her life, not for the time being." At this time, the emperor didn't pay much attention to Zhou Yunxi, after all, Zhang Xiaotian's betrayal had too much impact on the emperor, and he didn't even want to take Zhou Yunxi with him.

Even for the 'approval' many years ago, the emperor began to wonder what it meant. Could it be that Zhang Xiaotian is talking about in that batch of articles?

And Zhou Yunxi was just used by Zhang Xiaotian?

It's really Zhou Yunxi who has no power to restrain the chicken, and he has no ability. Those kung fu are only three-legged cats, and they are not heroic, and they almost die if they are injured so much......

How can such a person have the ability to subvert the dynasty?

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness has arrived."

Half an hour later, the eunuch who reported led Chu Ci to stand in the imperial study. Looking at the son in front of him, who looked quite similar to himself, the emperor only felt a little strange.

He had also heard about Chu Ci and Qin Fengyi, and knew that the two of them were very close. But what kind of relationship it is, and whether there is a plan in secret, the emperor does not know. 118

However, this did not prevent the emperor from taking a second look at his son.

"Give a seat."

The emperor squinted, and when he saw that Chu Ci's attitude was very respectful, he raised his hand slightly with satisfaction without opening his mouth and without getting up.

"Thank you, Father."

Chu Ci actually had some unpredictable plans in his heart, this big prince was looking for death and life on the front foot, and the prime minister's mansion was searched for dragon robes on the back foot, no matter how you look at it, there are some coincidences.

Summoned him to the palace at this time, who knows what the emperor's plan is.

"The second child went early, and the eldest prince is now like this, the third child, it seems that you are the only one who can pick the beam." The emperor opened his mouth with such a sentence, which made Chu Ci suddenly kneel on the ground, "Third child, get up." ”

"Erchen, Erchen......"

Chu was slurring, and his voice was so low that people couldn't hear it clearly. However, the emperor was not angry, and only signaled to Gonggong Wan to help Chu Ci up.

As for himself, he was already sitting on the throne, looking at his third son.

"Third child, I thought you were really gentle, but I forgot that your mother is clever and knows how to advance and retreat." The emperor smiled as he spoke, "How can such a woman be a son of a gentleman?" ”

Hearing the emperor's words, Chu Ci did not speak in a hurry.

At this moment, if the emperor wants to trouble him, then he will only say more and make more mistakes. If the emperor doesn't trouble him, then he can't open his mouth, and it makes no difference.

"The Jiangnan Lin family pays a lot of tribute every year, and your mother and concubine have always been non-contestant." Regardless of whether Chu Ci meant to speak or not, the emperor was really not ready to let him speak, "Speaking of which, I often feel wronged by her." ”

"If the mother concubine knows that her father has her in mind, she will be very happy."

Chu Ci moved his lips, recalling that Concubine Lan used to look in a daze in the direction outside the palace, and only felt a little sad. In the inner courtyard of this palace, his mother is really willing to stay for a man for a long time?

He hadn't asked, and he couldn't guess his mother's thoughts.

"Really?" This made the emperor smile happily, "I have always remembered her, but I have to take care of too much." Concubine Lan is smart and has a deep heart, but she has no background, and many things are difficult to do. ”

"Third child, it's only the first time I've discovered that you're not what you seem." The emperor's words changed, although he was still gentle, but in the end he gave Chu Ci a sense of coercion, "I didn't figure out the matter of the eldest and second brother before, but now, I know it in my heart." ”

"Zhang Xiaotian, this person, is hiding deeply."

The emperor's words and attitude didn't make Chu Ci feel anything, after all, he knew what kind of person his father was, if he knew that it was related to him, he would have been imprisoned at this time, and he would not have come to the imperial study at all.

However, Chu Ci still didn't figure out what the emperor meant.

"Now you are the only one of my sons who can take on the great responsibility, third child, if you can do something that satisfies me, I will give you the position of crown prince, how about it?"

"Erchen doesn't dare!"

As soon as Chu Ci heard this, he knelt on the ground again, and his forehead fell even more. The voice was a little loud, and people felt panic when they heard it.

But in this regard, the emperor ignored it, and only continued: "If you can pry Zhou Yunxi's mouth open and ask for the secret of immortality, the position of the crown prince, I will give it to you, how about it?" ”
