Chapter Forty-Eight: Shake Your Hands
The emperor listened to Chu Yan's words, and gasped in his heart.
He sat on the dragon chair and stiffened for a while, only to realize that what Chu Yan said was reasonable, after eight years, maybe Nanqi and Nanliang had recovered their lives, and if they made a comeback, it was possible.
Why didn't he think that Nanqi and Nanliang would make a comeback all these years?
It was probably because the battle of Yuxueling was very tragic, and it also gave him an illusion that he would be stable for decades to come. The Nanyang palace was no longer a threat to the imperial power, and the Southern Qi and Southern Liang did not dare to invade the Great Chu again.
As everyone knows, there is an absolute in everything!
Chu Yan looked at the emperor's expression, and couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, this person was his father, and he was his sister-in-law, but obviously, he still had no intention of making him the prince.
On that day, An Huajin rode out of the palace, and the words he said to him echoed in his mind for three days. If he can't become a great treasure, the An family may really be cut off.
Alarmist? No!
He enjoys the treatment of his son-in-law, and has been taught by him since he was a child, so he really knows his father and emperor too well.
"I know, go ahead!" The emperor didn't say to check, and he didn't say no, these words were so sudden that he had to think about it.
Chu Yan bowed his head and withdrew from the south study.
The queen was in a hurry, and ordered someone to probe the news three times before Chu Yan entered the Fengqi Palace.
"You went to see Your Majesty for the murder of Xiao An'er? What did Your Majesty say? Although the queen knew that An Huajin was fine, her heart was still tugging, how could a thief be so bold in broad daylight.
Chu Yan nodded, and said that he would not hide what happened to the emperor.
The queen's face turned pale for a while, and after a while, she lowered her voice and said, "Are you really from Nanqi and Nanliang?" ”
Chu Yan was expressionless, "As long as you make my father believe that it was the spies of Nanqi and Nanliang who did it." As for who did it, as long as the father ordered a big investigation and turned the boundaries of the capital upside down, he could always turn out some flies and dogs in the back. ”
The queen understood, and suddenly hated in her heart, "If it is really one of them, this palace will definitely not spare him." ”
"Besides us, my father is the last person who wants anything to happen to my cousin." Chu Yan said calmly, "The queen mother doesn't need to be angry, my cousin is not easy to mess with, and she won't give up knowing that someone is going to kill her." What's more, there is Gu Qingyan by her side, just after an accident today, Gu Qingyan asked people to seal all the people who come and go at the foot of Jokhang Temple. It can be seen that he is very concerned about his cousin's safety. ”
The queen's face softened slightly, "This palace was born in the An family, and there is a surname An on the head, so you can't do anything to kill Your Majesty's heirs." When your grandfather entered the palace in this palace, he also specially told me, warning me that if I was not virtuous, he would not recognize me as a daughter. In the past 20 years, Your Majesty has been a good woman, there are 3,000 beauties in the harem, and the concubines and beauties have been born one by one. This palace is not only not harmful, but also protects it with all its heart. But even if this palace is like this, your grandfather is so loyal, Your Majesty still has no intention of making you the prince, and this palace does not understand, the An family has been loyal to their duties for 150 years, and the descendants have been buried in the battlefield from generation to generation, how can they not warm the emperor's heart. ”
Chu Yan was silent.
The grievances in the queen's heart have been suppressed, and now it seems to have reached the peak, "He wants to kill the eldest prince, the palace wanted to protect it back then, the eldest prince did the right thing, why do you want to kill?" Now you are right to protect it. The old weapons of the Great Chu are a big hidden danger, and now the palace will take a look, if it is really the comeback of Southern Qi and Southern Liang, what will the Great Chu fight against? Who goes to war? Could it be that the father who is not in good health? Or is it Xiao An'er? Or who has the ability to take charge of the Nanyang Army? Even if someone goes, will they still take old weapons? If you don't take the old weapons, then you have to use the weapons made privately by the eldest prince, and as long as you use them, you have to release the eldest prince. ”
"This palace just wants to see if His Majesty's own slap in the face hurts."
Chu Yan was still silent.
The queen vented, looking at her son's calm and indifferent face, she also calmed down, "Do you have any doubts?" ”
Chu Yan shook his head, "No." ”
If there is no doubt, there is no doubt.
The queen took a deep breath, "No matter what, Xiao An'er can't have any more accidents, and she is the only one in the An family." If something happens to her again, this palace will ...... too."
"Queen Mother!" Chu Yan interrupted the queen, "With my cousin's ability, the queen mother should believe that no one can harm her." ”
The queen stopped the bad thoughts, "The palace heard that Chu Chen went to the foot of the Jokhang Temple, should you also go and see." ”
"Erchen doesn't plan to go, Erchen stays in Beijing, secretly orders people to keep an eye on some movements, Gu Qingyan is here, Chu Chen goes again, it's useless for Erchen to go." Chu Yan shook his head and suggested, "But the queen mother can send someone to see her cousin, and by the way, follow the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to see the progress of the investigation." ”
The queen nodded, "What you said is reasonable, this palace will send someone." ”
The people from the Criminal Department and Dali Temple did not dare to delay at all, even if Chu Chen hurried up, he did not catch up with anyone until the foot of the Jokhang Temple.
When the people from the Criminal Department and Dali Temple heard that the little prince Chen had brought His Majesty's will to investigate the case together, they were stunned, hurriedly greeted each other, and arrived in front of Gu Qingyan and An Huajin together.
Gu Qingyan and An Huajin were still staying in the tea shed, Gu Qingyan was sitting upright, An Huajin was lazily leaning on the back of the chair, in addition to the three dead bodies on the ground, there were also two people with their mouths gagged and tied, an old man with gray hair, and a bald little monk who was not very old.
The people from the Criminal Department and Dali Temple naturally had to understand the situation first, although they came in a hurry, they were also well prepared and brought a job.
After the group greeted each other, Chu Chen looked at the tea bowl in front of An Huajin, "This bowl in front of you is poisonous tea?" ”
"Hmm!" An Huajin glanced at him, "What are you here to make a fuss?" ”
This unwelcome tone is really not hidden.
Chu Chen suddenly became sullen and glared at An Huajin, "You and my sister had a dispute first, and this happened in a blink of an eye?" Do you think I can sit still? Even if I'm not worried about you, I have to hurry up to wash away the suspicions of my Good Prince's Mansion. ”
"Makes sense." An Huajin nodded, "Okay, I'll leave it to you here." The words fell, and asked Gu Qingyan, "Since everyone is here, let's go?" ”
"Hmm." Gu Qingyan bowed his head and said softly to Chu Chen, "After the incident, these two people on the ground were sneaky and quite suspicious, and they were probably accomplices. Since the little prince and the adults of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple are here, then they will all be handed over to you. ”
"You're leaving? Don't stay here and follow the investigation? Chu Chen was shocked.
"No, there is a victim who is still investigating the case after reporting the case." An Huajin stood up.
Gu Qingyan smiled and stood up, "Please, little prince and adults." ”
“…… Where do you go? "As soon as he came, they shook their hands and wanted to leave?
"Go to Jokhang Temple, it is said that the food in Jokhang Temple is delicious, I originally wanted to go to Jokhang Temple, and I can't stop going because someone wants to poison me." An Huajin looked at Chu Chen, "Since you have been ordered by His Majesty, you will investigate the case well and strive to find out the murderer as soon as possible, let's go." ”
Chu Chen: "......"
He watched the two of them ride out of the tea shed, his face was confused, and there were countless question marks in his mind, what did he come here in a hurry for???
