Zhong Yuqi said: "So, I need something to suppress the emperor. For example, the case of the former crown prince. ”

Zhong Yuqi: "Presumably, the former prince still has some remnants of forces, including those literati and scholars. When the time comes, the people will criticize and write, and the emperor will inevitably have some scruples. If the emperor makes a big move to abolish the crown prince, he is afraid that it will cause resentment and turmoil in the court. The emperor wants to leave his name in history, and he will have some calculations in his heart. ”

Bai Zhenxiao frowned again and said, "This matter is a bit risky!" ”

Zhong Yuqi said: "So, if the Bai family doesn't get involved, I won't say anything." After all, I also hope that the Bai family will be better. Of course, there is no need for the Bai family to be involved in the early stage. Just wait for the right time, the Bai family, the Meng family, and the Huo family will jointly put pressure on the emperor, and the matter may take a turn for the better. In addition, it can only depend on the will of God. ”

Bai Zhenxiao said: "For so many years, the emperor has been jealous of my Bai family, and he is afraid that my Bai family will avenge the Zhong family and export evil anger for himself. For the Bai family to live in peace in the future, the Bai family has to contribute to this matter. ”

Zhong Yuqi said: "Grandpa, I heard the mother and daughter of Naxi Prefecture who I took in say that when the third uncle was defending the city, he was harmed by some Hun killers who pretended to enter the city. And the third uncle stopped and was not buried, but what was wrong with it? ”

As soon as he talked about this, Bai Zhenxiao became sad again.

Bai Zhenxiao sighed softly and said, "Hey! Your third uncle, he died unjustly! At that time, the old man sent someone to investigate this matter, and he did find something strange. However, everything is just speculation, and it is impossible to count. ”

Zhong Yuqi said: "What is the reason? ”

Bai Zhenxiao said: "Judging from the results of the old man's investigation, those thieves are not the real Huns, but people from Dayu Country pretending to be them. They were ordered to deliberately rob the city on the afternoon of the Chinese New Year's Eve and clashed with your third uncle. When you rushed out of the city, the thieves killed your third uncle! ”

Zhong Yuqi said: "It seems that these people are not very human, otherwise how can they easily get it?" Does my grandfather suspect that the emperor did this? ”

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

Xiao Yulin has been listening to them intentionally or unintentionally, drinking tea. Now when I heard Zhong Yuqi say such things, I was so excited that I was choked on the tea.

Zhong Yuqi said lightly to Xiao Yulin: "If the prince is tired, you can go to rest first." If the prince doesn't want to rest now, he can go outside for a walk. ”

"This king should go outside for a walk!"

After speaking, Xiao Yulin stood up and pretended to be calm and walked outside.

Seeing this, Ma Liu hurriedly followed.

Bai Zhenxiao said to Zhong Yuqi: "In front of the prince, is it inappropriate for us to say such a thing?" ”

Zhong Yuqi said: "The prince has always known in his heart, but this kind of thing is inevitably a little embarrassing, so I asked him to avoid it first." In fact, it is also very difficult for the prince to be caught in the middle, and he has repeatedly persuaded me not to bring up the old things again. ”

Zhong Yuqi: "But how can I not bring up the old things again?" The Zhong family, the former prince, and those who are not related to this, how wronged are they? Now it's just me, enjoying glory and wealth, can I feel at ease? ”

Bai Zhenxiao nodded and said, "The old man can understand your mind!" Because of this, the emperor and the queen mother will definitely guard against you. From this point of view, it is indeed a lot of effort for the prince to marry you as a concubine. Heard...... Others are rumoring that the prince is afraid of the inside, and you ...... You also have to be more considerate of the prince. Hehe! The old man relied on the old and sold the old, and he did not mean to teach the princess. ”

Zhong Yuqi said disappreciably: "Grandpa is an elder, and I naturally have to listen to what my grandfather says." As for whether it will be done, that's another two things. ”

Zhong Yuqi: "Actually, the prince is not as rumored, he has many things that outsiders don't know. The prince has private property and martial arts, but he just doesn't expose it, for fear of causing the emperor's jealousy. ”

Zhong Yuqi: "It's not because the prince and the emperor are brothers, and the queen mother loves the prince, so the prince can sit back and relax." In the emperor's heart, the emperor is taboo against the prince. Just because the Queen Mother was there, the emperor had to endure this breath. When the Queen Mother dies, I am afraid that the emperor will start his actions. ”

Zhong Yuqi: "And the prince also knows that this is the case, so he doesn't show the dew, and pretends to be cynical to eliminate the emperor's taboo." However, the emperor has always acted ruthlessly, but I am afraid that he will not let go of the prince easily. Moreover, the prince and the prince are on good terms, and the emperor wants to make the third prince the crown prince, and the emperor is even more displeased with the prince. ”

Bai Zhenxiao sighed again and said, "Hey! The Emperor's Family, that's it! Fortunately, the prince is smart and can fool around on the surface. Sure enough, the rumors outside are credible or not, but the old man misunderstood the princess. ”

Zhong Yuqi said: "There are a lot of things to say, and it is inconvenient for me to say more to my grandfather. However, I believe that my grandfather can figure it out. It's not too early, and if my grandfather stays with me for a long time, I'm afraid that he will arouse the suspicion of others. Come to think of it, there is also the emperor's eyeliner in the general's mansion! ”

Bai Zhenxiao nodded and said, "I know who it is, but I just tell my family to be on guard." will not demolish that person, in the end the old man knows about that person, if there are a few more, the old man still doesn't know who to guard against. ”

Zhong Yuqi said: "Grandpa is right! It's not too early, so please go back and rest early! ”

Bai Zhenxiao stood up and said, "The princess is pregnant, and she is tired of traveling, please rest early!" The last will take his leave! ”

After speaking, Bai Zhenxiao bowed his hand to Zhong Yuqi and left.

Outside, Xiao Yulin saw Bai Zhenxiao leave, so he went back to the house and ordered someone to prepare hot water to bathe and change clothes, and then the two of them went to bed and rested.

After many days of hurrying, I couldn't sleep well outside, but now I have arrived at my family's house, and I have slept peacefully.

In the general's mansion, there are figures wandering, but they can't get close to Zhong Yuqi's courtyard, and they can't find out any news.

On the second day, the General's Mansion sent people out to inquire to see if Wu Ya'er still had relatives here.

And Wu Yaer and Yan Yue returned to their hometown, so they went to their hometown and went to the grave of the deceased to pay respects.

After several days of inquiry, the people from the General's Mansion informed Zhong Yuqi that Wu Yaer's relatives either froze to death and starved to death, or left Xizhou City, and never came back, and they didn't know whether they were dead or alive.

Zhong Yuqi also asked Wu Ya'er what she meant, to see if she wanted to stay or go back to Shengjing with her.

Wu Ya'er had to follow Zhong Yuqi, otherwise, those killers would come back to take revenge on her.
