Cheng Dan didn't expect that what the princess really wanted to say was this.

The people Mu Xiuqi brought to Fengyang City to investigate the case were all trustworthy people, so they were able to leak the news.

So, this means that the emperor has placed secret agents in the regent's palace?

She frowned slightly, puzzled: "How did the emperor know about this?" Shall we tell our father? ”

Mu Xiuyuan shook his head: "There is no evidence, this matter should not be publicized." ”

Cheng Dan couldn't understand the current situation.

It is not surprising that the emperor has placed secret agents in the regent's palace, but it stands to reason that the princess and the regent's palace are natural enemies, but she not only has no malice towards the regent's palace, but she also took great pains to inform them of this matter secretly.

What's in it for the princess?

Cheng Dan was silent for a long time and said, "Husband, my father is ...... And the emperor are brothers, aren't they? ”

Mu Xiuqi glanced at his eldest brother, and saw that he didn't mean to explain, so he pouted and said: "How can there be so much family affection in the royal family, the crown prince was regarded as a great love and righteousness, we all thought that he would definitely ascend to that position in the end, but in the end, he was not killed......

"Mu Xiuqi, you shut up."

Mu Xiuyuan glanced at him coldly and reprimanded: "Such an adult, you don't know what to say and what not to say?" ”

Mu Xiuqi stopped talking.

If the prince does not die and ascends the throne smoothly, the regent's palace will become the prince's right-hand man, but the prince is dead, and whoever ascends the throne next will not be able to tolerate the regent's palace.

Just like the Wen family before it.

"So what do we do?"

Mu Xiuyuan said lightly: "How did the emperor know that the princess was in Fengyang City?" ”

"The general's informant."

"Mo Xuanhui?"

Mu Xiuqi was surprised: "Big brother, you know? ”

"The name of the general, how could I not know." He looked at the thin letter in his hand silently: "Since the princess specially reminded him, then this matter will not be his secret, after all, you investigated the case before you met the princess, and he should not know about this matter." ”

Mu Xiuqi propped up his hand on the table, held his chin and said, "Then big brother, what are we going to do!" ”

Mu Xiuyuan glanced at him: "Of course it's to find people out, my regent palace still has the power to deal with a few people, even if the emperor knows, he can't admit that it is someone from his palace." ”

"There are not many people who know that you went to Fengyang City to investigate the case, and there are only a few people who follow you, and you will always know who it is if you check one by one."

Cheng Dan felt that if he listened to it again, he might know some great secret: "No, why don't you doubt the truth of what the princess said?" ”

Mu Xiuqi glanced at his eldest brother.

Mu Xiuyuan was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "If nothing else, we and the princess are not enemies. ”

He stood up, rubbed her hair, and comforted: "If the Regent's Mansion can't reach the top, you have to find a reliable lord for yourself, don't worry about this matter, I will take care of it." ”

Cheng Dan: "......"

She was even more worried.

Won't be the enemy of the princess? Looking for a reliable lord?

What does that mean, it can't be what she thinks, right?

Cheng Dan really felt that it was better for the regent palace to directly usurp the throne, and it would be a hundred.

Seeing Mu Xiuyuan walking out, Cheng Dan hurriedly spoke: "By the way, there is one more thing, the princess said that no matter what happened in the court during this time, let's better not interfere." ”

Mu Xiuyuan paused and looked back at her.

Cheng Dan said: "The princess also asked me to call myself sick, she said that the Queen Mother and Concubine Rong would not be in a good mood during this time, so it was best for me not to enter the palace." ”

Mu Xiuyuan frowned, with a faint worry in his eyes: "What does she want to do?" ”

Cheng Dan did not speak.

No one could answer this question.

But soon, Mu Xiuyuan knew what had happened.

Three days later, the newly appointed Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, Xie Yu, the young head of the Xie family in Beijing, presented an excerpt to the imperial front, and the third prince Mu Xingzhou sent someone to assassinate Mo Xuanhui, the general of the auxiliary state, causing the general to be seriously injured at the border, and he almost died, and he recovered after recuperating in Fengyang City for several months.

As soon as this excerpt came out, all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned, and even Xuan Mo, who was present, showed an incredible expression for a moment.

Everyone invariably had a thought, that is, how did the third prince offend the Xie family.

The most unacceptable thing is that Xie Yu still has evidence in his hands.

There are both human and material evidence, and in Xuan Mo's opinion, the true and false evidence is ironclad in the eyes of others.

Xuan Mo didn't want to watch the three princes fall, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Xie Yu speak: "Your Majesty, the night before Weichen returned to Beijing, Her Royal Highness the princess and the general attended the banquet set up by the Invitation Moon Mountain Villa in Jinmoju, Fengyang City, and in the banquet, Her Royal Highness the princess was drugged in the wine she drank. ”

"Fortunately, Her Royal Highness the princess is proficient in medical science and is fine, and then the minister carefully checked it and learned that the person who did this was Zhao Guangzhi, the son-in-law of Zhennan Daduhu, according to his confession, this matter was ordered by the third prince to do it."

"Zhao Guangzhi confessed that he met the three princes unexpectedly, and later the three princes saw that he had a good ability, so they started to love talents and took people for their own use."

"It's ridiculous." Mu Xingzhou's face turned pale, and he said coldly: "If you want to slander this prince like this, what is Lord Xie's intention?" ”

Xie Yu glanced at him and said without blinking: "According to his confession, in order to force him to comply, His Royal Highness detained his mother, and kept saying that it was to help him take care of his mother, but in fact, he was being monitored day and night, lest he get out of control one day." ”

"The same he confessed, the assassination of General Mo was instigated by the three princes, the three princes eradicated dissidents in the court, and they tried their best to get rid of people if they couldn't be used by him, and the means were extremely cruel, and more than ten people were killed in recent years, all of whom were killed because they were unwilling to accept the solicitation of the three princes."

"Those people were either demoted and dismissed, or died unexpectedly, the ministers have evidence in their hands, and the human and material evidence is there, and I also ask the emperor to investigate and give an explanation to the innocent victims."

Mu Xingzhou's face was extremely ugly, and he said coldly: "It's really as Lord Xie said, this prince has eliminated dissidents in the court, why is Lord Xie safe now." ”

Xie Yu said calmly: "Xu is because the minister has just returned to Beijing to take office, and the third prince has not had time to attack the minister." ”

"You!"

"That's enough."

On the dragon chair, Emperor Xuan's face was extremely ugly, he looked at Xie Yu's determined face, and then looked at Mu Xingzhou's ugly face, faintly with a weak look, and already made a judgment in his heart: "Mo Qing, did you really encounter an assassination at the border?" ”
