The butler's heart was extremely cold, and his dry throat was filled with a thick bitter taste.

Since Cen Zhenxing couldn't help, the chief steward didn't stay long, and hurriedly left.

Cen Zhenxing instructed Xiao Nei to send the chief steward out.

Cen Zhenxing was the only one left in the room, and he stared at the slightly swaying curtain in front of him.

"Rustling ......"

The sound of the door curtain swaying and the sound of the branches and leaves swaying outside the window are intertwined, and the surroundings are especially quiet.

He suddenly felt a little lonely.

By the way, now is not the time for King Ry's reign.

Mu Yan and Xue Zhao have already done it.

Cen Zhenxing's eyes were dark, looking at the flowers and trees dancing outside the window, remembering when he saw Xue Zhao again in the palace many years ago......

The stubborn eyes of the beautiful and thin young man were burning with flames, so resolute, so thrilling.

He called himself Ah Yin.

At this time, the wind stopped.

But the branches outside were still swaying gently.

Cen Zhenxing sighed, his expression surging with extremely complicated emotions.

He said to himself that he shouldn't be pointing fingers anymore.

However, it was clear that his heart was heavy, as if he was pressing a boulder, which made him not very comfortable.

"Someone."

Cen Zhenxing called out.

Another fourteen or fifteen-year-old young chamberlain with a delicate face walked in quickly and saluted Cen Zhenxing respectfully.

"Fang Cheng, you go to Prince Yi's Mansion to have a look." Cen Zhenxing commanded.

He and Prince Yi have been friends for more than ten years, and the other party has the grace to save his life, so he can't let him have an accident...... Let's take a step at a time.

"Yes, Gong Cen." Fang Cheng took the order and retreated, and hurriedly went to Prince Yi's mansion.

In Prince Yi's mansion, Cheng Gonggong and Jin Wuwei's people haven't left yet.

The people of the palace have been "searching" in the palace, and a housekeeper has come to report in a gloomy manner: "Lord, princess, the comb has still not been found." ”

This is the answer that everyone expected.

Princess Yi's face sank again, and she denied it again: "This princess has said that this princess did not steal the queen's comb, this comb was given by the queen's mother." ”

She raised her hand and pointed to the comb in the box, with a very tough attitude and a bit of condescension.

Prince Yi drank tea and said, "Father-in-law Cheng, it's just a comb, it's better for this king to find a rare comb and give it to the queen." ”

Father-in-law Cheng was not so confused, and said with a smile: "Lord, since you can't ask, let's search it, whether the queen's comb is not there, you will know it when you search it." ”

This eunuch is simply soft and hard! Princess Yi's heart burned again, and she said angrily: "You dare! ”

"Smack!"

She slapped her palm heavily on the desk again.

This shook the teacups on the desk, and the people in the hall all held their breath.

Prince Yi's eyes were dark, and he calmly picked up the teacup again, and Prince Yi made a fuss, and he had his own calculations in his heart.

He's waiting.

He and Cen Zhenxing are a lifelong friendship.

When he was in Liaodong, the Liaodong tribes rebelled and killed him and Cen Zhenxing in a valley, when a stray arrow shot at Cen Zhenxing from behind, and he blocked it with a sword for Cen Zhenxing, otherwise the arrow would be shot into Cen Zhenxing's heart.

He saved Cen Zhenxing's life.

After that, even if Cen Zhenxing returned to Beijing first, the two of them maintained correspondence and rituals. Later, he also returned to Beijing, and the relationship between them became more intimate, for so many years, Cen Zhenxing has always taken care of himself, even after he stepped down from the court, it was the same.

Although Cen Zhenxing is old, most of the people in the twelve prisons of the inner court were trained by him back then, and there is always a little bit of old affection, and they still listen to his words.

Prince Yi slowly brushed off the floating leaves on the tea soup with the tea lid, again and again.

The queen mobilized the crowd this time, but in Prince Yi's opinion, this is just a small matter, with Cen Zhenxing, this matter is at most thunder and rain, and it can't make any waves.

It's just that since the queen wants to cut him, he can't sit still.

Prince Yi understood very well in his heart.

This time, the queen deliberately framed the princess, but it was just a reason, and she had the intention of rectifying the inner court.

Hum!

In all dynasties, not everyone can move.

In the final analysis, it was only Cen Yin who the queen dared to deal with herself, and now that Cen Yin is not there, she has to let her know that she is powerful!

This time it was the queen who took the initiative to provoke, so don't blame him for being polite.

Prince Yi's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and it disappeared in a flash.

Father-in-law Cheng glanced at Prince Yi with a smile, compared to the angry Princess Yi, he looked so comfortable.

"Deputy Commander Zhang," Gonggong Cheng didn't argue with Prince Yi about anything, and turned to Deputy Commander Jin Wuwei and said, "Search!" ”

Deputy Commander Zhang nodded, then high-fived twice, and instructed his subordinates: "Search for me!" ”

"Be sure to find the queen's comb!"

Deputy Commander Zhang deliberately raised his voice.

The team of Jin Wuwei guarding outside the main hall had already been eager to try, and waited and waited, and waited for more than half an hour before they could be regarded as waiting for this order.

They hurriedly clenched their fists and received their orders, and their voices were loud.

Seeing that the situation was about to erupt, the maids and ladies in the main hall were even more afraid, and they all looked panicked. Over the years, how could anyone have dared to be presumptuous in Prince Yi's mansion!

Prince and Princess Yi were so angry that her face darkened, Huo Di stood up, and also ordered the guards of the palace: "Don't stop them all for this princess!" ”

The palace guards immediately swarmed towards the Jinwu guards.

Jin Wuwei and the guards froze, shouting, swords, fists and feet, and clashing...... One after another, there was chaos outside the hall, and inside the hall, Prince Yi still didn't speak, just drank tea peacefully.

The chaos outside soon had a result, and those guards of the palace were no match for Jin Wuwei, and they were subdued in three or two clicks, and those guards fell to the ground crookedly, in a mess.

Seeing this, Princess Yi was angry, ashamed, hateful, and annoyed, and her voice became sharper: "Useless thing!" ”

"Someone! Again! Take these people down to this princess! ”

Prince and Princess Yi scolded her subordinates for a while, and then scolded Deputy Commander Zhang: "Zhang Yinwu, do you have to go against our Prince Yi's Mansion!" ”

Since Zhang Yinwu is here, he naturally knows that he will offend Prince Yi's Mansion, and he knows that Prince Yi's Mansion will not want to retreat this time.

With the emperor supporting the queen, the outcome of this matter can be imagined.

Zhang Yinwu said lightly: "The princess's words are wrong, and the last general is just acting on orders." As long as the princess takes out the tribute comb, the last general will leave immediately. ”

At the same time as he spoke, those Jin Wuwei were already carrying knives and scattered towards all parts of the palace, and those people in the palace couldn't stop Jin Wuwei's pace at all.

Prince Yi raised his head from the teacup and looked at the menacing Jin Wuwei outside the hall, his eyes became deeper little by little, as if he was suppressed, as if he was patient, and he seemed to be expecting something.

At this moment, the chief steward hurriedly ran from the outside towards this side.

The Grand Steward is finally back! Prince Yi was overjoyed, his eyes lit up a little, and he slowly put down the teacup.

As long as Cen Zhenxing comes forward, this matter will naturally be revealed.

Next, it's time to think about how to make a fuss about it.

Prince Yi's heart pounded faster, his eyes were bright, and he pondered: The queen made such an ugly fuss this time, it was a handle that was sent to him.

Taking advantage of Cen Yin's absence in Beijing, he can learn from the previous dynasty and let the new emperor enter the palace with a noble concubine, so as to give the queen a dismount, lest the queen become more and more rampant in the future.

Even if the queen has a grandfather of the first assistant, Duanmu Xian can't stop the new emperor from taking a concubine, right?

After he didn't play the abolition of the new emperor, it was already an extra face for Duanmu Xian!

In the middle of his thoughts, the chief steward quickly ran to the eaves outside the main hall, and Prince Yi noticed that the chief steward was sweating profusely, and his expression could not hide his panic.

What's going on?! Prince Yi's heart sank and he realized that something was wrong.

The chief steward stepped over the high threshold of the hall, walked quickly to Prince Yi's side, and whispered to his master.

What the?! As if he had been slapped in the face, Prince Yi's face changed in an instant, and his pupils shrank.

Father-in-law Cheng looked at them with a smile and finished speaking by the chief steward.

Prince Yi's body froze, and he no longer had the same calmness and composure as before, and his heart seemed to be burned by fire.

He never thought that Cen Zhenxing's words would not work, this is impossible!

Over the years, who doesn't give Cen Zhenxing a few faces, even Cen Yin will respect him for three points, how dare Shi Huaineng refute Cen Zhenxing's face! How dare he?!

===

The chief steward swallowed his saliva and said in a low voice: "Gonggong Shi also said that if Jin Wuwei can't do it, let Dongchang come to help ......" When he said the word "Dongchang", his voice trembled slightly.

"......" Prince Yi's face sank like water, and his heart was uncertain.

It's just the queen, in the past, Queen Xie didn't dare to take care of the affairs of the Inner Court Division, why is the little queen of the Duanmu family so bold?! Isn't she afraid of hurting others and herself, but letting herself fall into the quagmire?!

Father-in-law Cheng is also a human spirit, even if he can't hear what the chief steward said to Prince Yi, he can guess what he is thinking from the change in Prince Yi's expression, and he is disdainful in his heart.

They have been in the inner court for decades, and they are not blind, of course they know that Prince Yi has his back against Cen Zhenxing. But so what?! In the past, it was to give him two points of face, and whoever let him provoke the queen mother without knowing it, this bit of "face" naturally didn't work.

Cheng's father-in-law gave Zhang Yinwu another look, and Zhang Yinwu ordered again to the close guard: "If you go down, you must search carefully, search carefully!" ”

This time, Prince Yi couldn't hold it back any longer.

He also stood up from the Taishi's chair, frowned and reprimanded: "This king is a clan relative, not just search for what you say!" ”

Those Jin Wuwei outside the hall can ignore Prince Yi, how to search, how to search, even those flower pavilions have not been spared, quite a bit of digging into the ground.

The corners of Cheng's lips curled higher, and he played with yin and yang weirdly: "Lord, the queen's things are missing, of course you have to look for them." If you don't find it in the house, you won't have wronged the princess and princess. Two and rest assured. ”

He looked like he knew what was right.

"Bang dang!"

Outside the hall, a green pine bonsai taller than a person was kicked over, and the huge glazed pottery pot was smashed to pieces.

This loud bang was like a sudden explosion of thunder in the sky, which shocked the hearts of the people in the hall, which was no different from raiding the house.

Prince Yi had never seen such a scene, and her breath was strained in her chest, and her face turned blue. The grandmother next to her hurriedly gave her a good breath.

Cheng Gonggong felt that this Jin Wuwei was still a little worse than the East Factory, and he was still not neat enough.

Prince Yi's complexion was not very good-looking, and he was confused for a while.

However, after all, he had seen a lot of ups and downs, and he quickly calmed down.

Since Cen Zhenxing can't be relied on, then it's okay not to rely on it, and he is not the only one who is Cen Zhenxing.

His surname is "Mu", and even the new emperor has to politely call him "Uncle Five Emperors".

Prince Yi slapped the case heavily and said: "It's too much to deceive people! ”

"This king is going to sue the royal court, even if it is the queen, she can't mess with the clan!"

He didn't mention the Inner Court Division at all, and deliberately diverted the contradiction, saying that the queen was going to open a knife to the clan, so other clans, including Prince Li, could not sit idly by.

In the face of Prince Yi's impassionedness, Cheng's father-in-law didn't even raise his eyebrows, sighed and said: "The prince misunderstood, the queen just wanted to recover the lost comb." ”

"That comb is a tribute to Jiangzhou this year, it is made by Wang Qingren himself, the queen mother likes his craftsmanship the most, and she has to hold the comb in her hand every day and play with it for a while."

Cheng's father-in-law said matter-of-factly.

Prince Yi and Gonggong Cheng looked at each other, and the other party's answer was also what he expected.

Prince Yi snorted coldly: "Since the queen mother is not targeting the clan, she wants to find a comb, then she should also check the princess's courtyard, what is the matter with Jin Wuwei running on such a rampage in the palace now!" ”

Of course, Prince Yi can't let Jin Wuwei search the entire palace, there are too many "unseen" tributes in the palace, and now he can only give up the small to protect the big, let Jin Wuwei search Prince Yi's courtyard, even if he finds a few tributes, he is easy to maneuver.

Father-in-law Cheng nodded very well: "Of course, our family is here to find a comb, not to copy the house." ”

He smiled, but the word "copying the house" came from his sharp voice, which always carried a bit of yin and yang weirdness.

"......" Princess Yi almost vomited a mouthful of blood.

She was naturally not happy, which woman would be happy to let those big men who were five big and three thick search everywhere in their houses and yards.

However, Prince Yi had already allowed it, and Princess Yi couldn't slap him in the face in public, hating in her heart, thinking: When these Jin Wuwei are gone, she will lose all the furniture and clothes in the house and replace them with a new set of ...... No, even the house has to be repainted.

Gonggong Cheng stroked his sleeves and deliberately said to Zhang Yinwu: "Deputy Commander Zhang, you have to let Jin Wuwei search carefully and carefully." ”

"If you need it, just ask Dongchang to help. For the sake of the queen, Dongchang must be willing. ”

Cheng's father-in-law's words were poking at the hearts of Prince Yi and his wife, and Prince Yi's face was cloudy.

Zhang Yinwu stood up and said, "Father-in-law Cheng, don't worry, I will watch it in person, and I will definitely search carefully." ”

So, as soon as Zhang Yinwu gave an order, those Jin Wuwei, who were originally scurrying around like headless flies, gathered together, and they followed a housekeeper to the courtyard of Prince Yi.

Prince Yi didn't have a seizure after all, and sat back down.

Seeing this, Prince Yi also sat back on the Taishi chair with the support of her grandmother.

The main hall fell silent again.

The maids solemnly served tea to the host and the guests.

A faint aroma of tea fills the air.

Prince Yi and his wife had no intention of tasting tea, but Cheng's father-in-law was in a good mood, leisurely tasting tea, and praised "good tea".

At this moment, for these subordinates in the hall, it can be said that life is like a year, and they only feel as if time has been slowed down several times, and they are very tormented.

They looked down at the tips of their shoes for a while, looked at the faces of Prince Yi and his wife, and looked out of the hall for a while.

I don't know how long it took, there was a sudden movement outside, and Zhang Yinwu came back with seven or eight brocade guards in stride.

"Father-in-law Cheng," Zhang Yinwu arched his hand at Father-in-law Cheng, "I found that comb!" It's on the princess's dressing table! ”

How can it be?! Prince Yi's and his wife's faces became even more gloomy.

"Sure enough, the princess took it!" Father-in-law Cheng sighed, shook his head and said, "Take it, why don't you admit it?" The queen has a good temper, what the princess likes to tell the mother, the mother will be rewarded, how can she take it casually! ”

Cheng's tone was a little admonished, a little sighing, and a little embarrassed.

"You ......"

Princess Yi wanted to talk nonsense, but before she could say a word, she was interrupted by Zhang Yinwu: "We also found a red gold inlaid ruby five phoenix hairpin, a red coral branch amber mountain bonsai, a red gold inlaid eight treasure cup, a set of white jade three sheep holding pots, and a blue and white eight auspicious double mantis ear holding the moon bottle......"

The two Jin Wuwei in the rear put a box of things on the ground, and the box contained exactly what Zhang Yinwu said.

Prince Yi's heart sank little by little. Cheng Gonggong and Zhang Yinwu really came prepared, and all these items picked out by Zhang Yinwu were tribute, and they were picked out from the tribute items at the beginning, and they were replaced by defective products and sent to the palace.

Father-in-law Cheng glanced at the box, frowned, and said, "Princess, how can you be like this?!" The queen mother invited you into the palace to drink tea, and you came back with so many things! ”

"This ...... It's so unseemly! ”

Father-in-law Cheng shook his head and sighed, looking disagreeing.

Prince Yi and Princess Yi were almost mad, and their chests rose and fell violently.

Open your eyes and tell nonsense! There are a lot of these things like bonsai, moon bottles and other large items, to put it ugly, even if she wants to steal it, the palace gate is strict, can she steal it?!

At this time, Gonggong Cheng said lightly to Zhang Yinwu: "Deputy Commander Zhang, take the princess away." ”

What the?! Princess Yi was about to jump.

Prince Yi's fists were clenched tightly together, and his eyes were changing brightly and secretly.

"Bold!" Princess Yi scolded, "You dare! This princess is a princess! ”

Zhang Yinwu answered Prince Yi's question with practical actions, waved his arm and ordered: "Take it!" ”

The two Jin Wuwei immediately received the order, sneering and approaching Prince and Princess Yi.

"Lord Wang......" Prince Yi looked at Prince Yi uneasily, and the two maids hurriedly blocked in front of Prince and Princess Yi, Jin Wuwei would not pity Xiang Xiang and cherish the jade, stretched out his arm and pushed the two maids to the ground rudely.

The two Jin Wuwei continued to approach Prince and Princess Yi.

Princess Yi's face was pale, but she leaned back against the back of the Taishi's chair, and there was nowhere to retreat, her mind was in chaos, and she was about to faint......

At this moment, a shrill voice sounded from outside the hall: "Father-in-law Cheng, Deputy Commander Zhang!" ”

Fang Cheng hurried over.

Both Gonggong Cheng and Prince Yi knew Fang Cheng and knew that he was a close confidant of Cen Zhenxing.

Fang Cheng didn't care about saluting Prince Yi, and waved his hand at Cheng Gonggong first, "Cheng, Gong Cen ordered me to come." ”

He tactfully tried to intercede for Prince Yi: "I heard that there was some 'misunderstanding' between the princess and her father-in-law, so Gong Cen asked me to come over and take a look. ”

"Little father-in-law Fang, there is no misunderstanding between our family and the princess." Cheng's father-in-law didn't give face at all, "The master of our family is the queen's mother, the princess stole the queen's things and still didn't admit it, it's useless for anyone to plead!" ”

He had a smile on his face, and his tone was very strong, and there was no room for turnaround.

"Take it away!"

Cheng's father-in-law said as he stood up, and without saluting Prince Yi, he turned around and left.

When the two Jin Wuwei got the order, they were not polite, and dragged Prince Yi up one left and one right.

"Presumptuous! Let go of this princess! ”

"You guys are so daring......"

Princess Yi scolded sharply, her voice getting sharper and sharper, almost toppling the roof.

However, no matter how much she called, it was useless, and the two Jin Wuwei directly dragged her out of the main hall.

Prince Yi's voice gradually drifted away, and Prince Yi looked at Princess Yi's back with a gloomy face, his face was so black that he was almost dripping ink.

Above the entire Prince Yi Mansion, there seemed to be a thick layer of clouds.

Cheng's father-in-law, Zhang Yinwu and the rest of Jin Wuwei all left, and the main hall suddenly became a lot empty.

Those people in the palace watched Prince Yi being taken away, and they didn't even dare to take a breath.

Prince Yi was angry, his chest rose and fell violently, his eyes were gloomy, and he said coldly to Fang Cheng: "It's only been a month since the ceremony, and the queen doesn't take everyone seriously. ”

"This king looks, maybe the next one to move is Cen Gong, who doesn't know that the Inner Court Division has always been covered by Cen Gong."

Prince Yi dared to say these words, but Fang Cheng didn't dare to accept them. Neither Cheng Gonggong nor Shi Huaineng gave Cen Zhenxing face, this matter is obviously very tricky.

Fang Cheng said politely: "Lord Wang, the villain will go back to pay homage to Gong Cen." ”

Fang Cheng left, and Prince Yi walked back and forth in the main hall twice, and then ordered people to prepare horses.

Prince Yi did not rush into the palace to complain about the royal complaint, but went to Prince Li's mansion.

Not only that, but he also asked more than a dozen princes of the clan to be invited to Prince Li's mansion and sued Duanmu Fei in public.

The news that Prince Yi's Mansion was surrounded by Jin Wuwei had reached Prince Li's Mansion, and Prince Li didn't expect it to be like this. The queen actually planted the blame for Prince Yi and Princess Yi, which is too ......

The other princes of the clan present were also in an uproar.

This is truly unheard of!

These princes of the clan also tasted a little bit of taste. The queen is clearly Xiang Zhuang dancing the sword, which is intended for Pei Gong, where is this for Prince Yi and Princess Yi, and it is clearly aimed at the Inner Court.

Several princes exchanged glances with solemn expressions.

Seeing this, the corners of Prince Yi's lips curled almost invisibly.

The interests of the Inner Court Division are very wide-ranging, and Prince Yi also knows that he cannot swallow all the benefits, and he has distributed a large amount of silver to the princes of the clan every year over the years.

There are many people in the Dasheng clan, and there are no good errands, in fact, there is no income, but many clans live in luxury, and the silver given by Prince Yi is a considerable income of the clan.

Cutting off someone's money is like killing one's parents.

Because of their own interests, these princes of the clan couldn't sit still, and proposed to Prince Li:

"Prince Li, this matter can't be allowed to be so reckless!"

"That's right, the queen's behavior is too ridiculous, and this kind of pickling method can also be made, which is simply unseemly!"

"We have to enter the palace to face the saint!"

“……”

A group of clan princes echoed one after another, and there was a posture of unity.

So, a group of people surrounded Prince Li and Prince Yi hurriedly entered the palace to face the saint, intending to put pressure on the new emperor.
