Chapter 148: The Imperial Palace

I really don't know what this wife thinks in your heart, but at this time he is still whimsical, thinking that he can restrain the prince, and the prince is now in power.

The reason why he didn't immediately replace the current old emperor is because his name is not right, if he is right, I am afraid that the current old emperor will have long ceased to exist, but looking at the old emperor's current body, it is estimated that he will not be able to support it for long, and the prince is waiting for this legitimate opportunity.

Although the crown prince is willing to wait for this time, it does not mean that he is willing to continue to listen to the old emperor's words, we are still in his heart, he is no different from the emperor now, Chu Xiaoxiang felt that the old emperor was really a little naΓ―ve, but he did not remind him, the smile on his face became more and more gentle.

"Your Majesty has some things to know in your heart, don't be overpowered by others, and think that you are the supreme emperor, the emperor might as well go out and try it now, and see those ministers in your court, who is willing to offend His Royal Highness the Prince, you all know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about to be the next monarch, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now in power, whether it is military power or political power, no one can compare, only the second prince can use the ice spring to resist, but the second prince does not have much military power in his hands, coupled with the fact that he has always been unfavored and his status is relatively embarrassing, those ice springs are just what he finally stayed when he was out on a campaign. ”

The second prince is not favored because he is a child born to a maid, so his status is not favored, and he was even suppressed by the emperor because of this matter.

After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the most favorite candidate, if something happens to His Royal Highness the Prince, I am afraid it will not be his turn to be the master, this is why Chu Xiaoxiang was not optimistic about him at first, because the status of the second prince is too embarrassing, even if he has the support of military power, but those literati and ink writers are not willing to support him, and they all think that his status is relatively low, and he is not worthy of the position of emperor at all.

"If the emperor doesn't believe it, please try it tomorrow to see if I am lying, but I am afraid that when the time comes, I will turn off the fire and faint directly!"

The old emperor's face was gloomy, he didn't know if what Chu Xiaoxiang said was true or not, the prince had always been more filial to him, and he had been attacking him from time to time in recent times, so he didn't look like a person who could do such a thing, but Chu Xiaoxiang said it again, which made him a little more confused in his heart.

"Princess Chu, is this sowing discord? I think that in this way, I can doubt the crown prince, what is the benefit of Princess Chu doing this? ”

Saying that, he sneered, looking at Chu Xiaoxiang's eyes with a hint of gloom, obviously feeling that Chu Xiaoxiang had violated his taboo.

You must know that as the monarch of a country, what he hates most is that people from other countries interfere in it.

"Don't think that you can achieve your goals in this way, I tell you, as long as I am here, I will never doubt my son."

After Chu Xiaoxiang saw him angry, he didn't have too many expressions, but there was a hint of coldness in his tone, feeling that the emperor was still deceiving himself at this time, or that he trusted this son too much, after all, this son was raised by him since he was a child, and he never had any defenses, do you think this son will develop as he expected, but I don't know, this son has been out of the original track as early as the beginning.

"Since Your Majesty doesn't want to believe it, then I won't say anything more, I hope Your Majesty can understand a truth, and the heart of defense is indispensable, not to mention that your son has already given birth to the idea of replacing you, but you don't believe it yourself, no matter how much I say, in the eyes of Your Majesty, I'm afraid I'm sowing discord, in that case, Your Majesty might as well go and see for yourself to see if I'm lying."

Although Chu Xiaoxiang's words made the old emperor feel that he was sowing discord, he still left a trace in his heart, more or less doubting whether this matter was true or false, and also doubting the reliability of Chu Xiaoxiang's words, he hesitated for a while, and couldn't help frowning.

"The princess actually came, just live in the palace first, I have already been cleaned up, and if there is anything missing, just ask, the princess will treat this as her own home here, you are welcome, I heard that the princess also went to the moon country to make friends with the queen of the moon country, presumably the princess should also have something to gain, this time came to our country again, what is the purpose will wait for tomorrow."

Raised his hand and looked at the sky, it was already late at this time, so he didn't say anything more, and went directly into the courtyard prepared by the emperor for him, and Android had already gotten the news, and after learning that Chu Xiaoxiang had escaped, he couldn't help but show a smile, and then learned that it was because of a fire, and his face was a little gloomy at the moment, if the control was not good, Chu Xiaoxiang would be trapped in it, and he would die on the spot.

Helian Chen rushed in overnight, and when he saw Chu Xiaoxiang, he had a feeling of loss and regain, and grabbed him with a smile on his face.

"I thought it would take a long time to meet you again, but I didn't expect you to escape so quickly, but the method you used is too dangerous."

"If you don't do this, how can you force the prince to make a move, if I stay inside, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will never have a chance to make a move, and now I give him this opportunity, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have been furious in his heart, or it won't be long before there should be a reaction."

Chu Xiaoxiang had a confident smile on his face, and he could see that he had already fallen into the ship's owner for these things, and he knew what kind of person His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was, if he knew about this matter, he would definitely not be able to stand this grievance, I am afraid that he would immediately run to the palace, and the important people could not say, but the old emperor would not do what he wanted, after all, Chu Xiaoxiang's identity was relatively special, if this matter was known to others, he, the prince, would also receive some criticism, The main thing is that the emperor could not allow such a war between countries.

On the other side, when Xiao Se went back, he found that the fire had been extinguished, and the prince sat in the courtyard with a gloomy face, looking at the trembling people around him, all of whom were kneeling on the ground, and some of them had been tortured, so there was a smell of blood in the air, and it could be seen that the current prince was on the verge of rage.

"So you searched around, but you didn't find anything, not even a corpse, so you dare to tell me that people are dead, are you all stupid, don't you see, this is a ploy to get rid of the shell of a golden cicada?"

The housekeeper knelt there trembling, where did he dare to say anything, the scene was so chaotic at that time, no one cared about where Chu Xiaoxiang went, only thought that Chu Xiaoxiang also ran out with everyone, and everyone rushed out, who would have thought that after everyone came out, he found that there was no Chu Xiaoxiang, and when the housekeeper learned about this matter, he was so frightened that his legs were already weak, but there was no solution.

The second prince happened to be dealing with other things at the time, and there was no way to come back in time, I heard that the prince was going to attend the engagement banquet of the county lord, who would have thought that the time was such a coincidence, and by the time the prince came back, the dust had already settled, and the housekeeper could only say that Chu Xiaoxiang had died.

The smile on the prince's face became more and more obvious, and the housekeeper kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was guilty, because I was not disciplined effectively, and I didn't notice this matter, so there was such a big mistake, and I thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had turned off the fire, and the old slave would send someone to find it now, and he would definitely see people alive and corpses when he died."

"Find? Where are you going to look? Leaving here, where else can she be locked up? ”

The prince's face became more and more ugly, and then he spoke to the subordinates in the mansion.

"Don't stand here stunned, give me the time to find it, search for me all over the city, don't let go of any suspicious signs, if people can't find you, you don't have to come back one by one, is what I said clear enough?"

These people nodded again and again, and shrank in fear, obviously thinking that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was angry, which they could not afford, and this matter was too serious, and they cowered and hid aside one by one.

As if he had suddenly thought of something, the prince looked around the crowd, as if he was deliberately looking for someone, and the expression on his face became more and more impatient.

"Where did Xiao Se go, I remember he wasn't supposed to patrol this manor? Why all of a sudden people are gone. ”

None of the people present dared to answer this question, obviously not understanding what was going on, the expression on his face was a little stiff, and the housekeeper explained in a whisper beside him, maybe it was Lord Xiao Se who went to find Chu Xiaoxiang's whereabouts.

"Heh, find Xiao Se for me too, and reply immediately when you have news."

As soon as he finished saying this, Xiao Se slowly walked out of the shadows, with a smile on his face, and walked in front of the prince.

"Is the subject looking for a subordinate? Who just went to patrol just now, and did find some suspicious signs, and deliberately went over to investigate, but now the clues are broken, fortunately, at the last moment, the whereabouts of Princess Chu have been known, but they didn't have time to stop it. ”

The prince looked at him with suspicion in his eyes, he still knew his chic ability, and his group of subordinates were all extraordinary, if they were really patrolling the courtyard, it would be impossible to let Chu Xiaoxiang escape, unless Chu Xiaoxiang had more people than her, but with so many people, it was impossible not to be alarmed at all, and he had already been exposed.

The other party either went out with great fanfare, or he could only sneak away, if Xiao Se didn't release the water, Chu Xiaoxiang would not have a chance to sneak away at all.

"Yes! Now that someone was able to slip out of your hands, you're not as good as you used to be! ”
