The Praetorian Guards collected the letters they had collected from the Prince's study and brought them back to the Jinluan Palace.

Looking at the bag full of letters, the emperor's face turned completely black.

He pointed to the cloth bag and motioned for the prince to put it in front of the prince. The prince frantically opened and looked at the letters, and all the correspondence in them was sent by him to do these things.

His trembling hands opened the letters one by one, and his red eyes showed his fear at the moment: "This, this can't be. ”

"Prince, I'm so disappointed in you." When he said this, the emperor seemed to be ten years old all of a sudden.

From childhood to adulthood, the prince has been carefully cultivated, and he can be said to be the most attentive among many children.

"Father, this, this is definitely not done by the son!" The crown prince quickly climbed in front of the emperor, hugged the emperor's thigh, and said almost collapsed, "Father, you have to believe in the son, this is definitely not done by the son." ”

"Things are right in front of you, how do you make me believe you?" The emperor leaned on the back of the pear flower stool a little dejectedly, and he waved his hand, "I'm too disappointed in you." ”

"No, someone must have slandered Erchen!" The prince's anxious tears burst out, and he looked at the emperor with blank eyes, "Father, you have to trust your son." ”

"The Janissaries found the stuff from your study, did I arrange for the Praetorian Guards to use it to slander you?" The emperor slapped the table angrily, the whole person seemed to be a few years older, and the more he looked at the prince, the more he felt unpleasant.

"No, no, that's not what Erchen meant......"

The more he explained, the more incoherent the prince's words became, and he didn't explain why.

The emperor no longer had the patience to listen to him continue to explain, and ordered the guards in a cold tone: "Come on, take the prince back to the East Palace and be grounded, and you can't leave unless you are called." ”

"Yes."

"Father, listen to me!" As the crown prince's voice became farther and farther away, the emperor closed his eyes heavily.

As a father, he couldn't bear to punish the prince according to the law, after all, the prince was also his hard work for many years, and his feelings were the heaviest.

However, today's matter, if he does not make a statement, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public.

……

The news of the prince's grounding soon spread throughout the government and the opposition. Everyone was secretly sighing, the prince, who has always been mellow and kind, would be so rebellious, with two faces in front of and behind.

There is a different scenery in the Six Emperors' Mansion.

Listening to the guards report to him the whole process of the prince's grounding, Xia Chengmu's eyes were full of smiles, he looked at his staff, and asked lightly: "Do you think the prince still has a chance to turn over this time?" ”

"My subordinates think it's unlikely." The staff replied.

The emperor's disappointed and tired look clearly entered the eyes of every palace person serving in the imperial study, the previous prince was not without mistakes, but only this time made the emperor move seriously.

If in this case, the prince can still reflexively, it can only mean that the emperor spoils the prince too much.

"That's right, after all, my father's suspicious character, heh......" Xia Chengmu's eyes became more and more gloomy, he turned the wrench on his hand, and gave an order to the guards in a gloomy tone: "Notify that you can act over there." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

As long as the people over there can instigate the prince to force the palace, then the prince will lose everything......

Outside the city, at the broken temple.

Ji Qiang slowly opened her eyes, and what caught her eyes was Gu Hanyan's expressionless and beautiful face, she struggled to get up, and looked at each other vigilantly. come

"Don't be so vigilant, if I kill you, you'll be dead." Gu Hanyan raised his eyes to stare at her, laughed again, lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

After a period of escape, her whole person seems to have been reborn, and she has long lost her original pretense.

Ji Qiang stared at Gu Hanyan silently, and smiled faintly: "Why did you let me go from Xia Chengmu's hands?" ”

Gu Hanyan hung his head, and when he heard this, he laughed at himself and pulled the corners of his mouth: "You may not believe it when you say it, I love him." But he's been using me all the time, and the person in his heart is you. How can I rest assured that if you stay by his side, will you be mindful? ”

"You've been worried, but thank you a lot." Ji Qiang looked away, she still had a slight injury on her body, and she was faintly painful.

Gu Hanyan at this moment made her feel sarcastic, but she felt that she was really pitiful.

Gu Hanyan got up and patted the ashes on his body: "I'm leaving, Ji Qiang, you can do it yourself." ”

Ji Qiang opened her mouth to speak, but in the end she couldn't speak, and watched her leave.

East Palace.

The moonlight was shining brightly, and the cold sprinkled all over the ground.

There were several jars of pear blossom brew on the table, and the prince was drunk, shouting in his mouth: "Father, wronged, the son really didn't do those things." ”

The crown princess moved slightly, and slowly stepped forward, she sighed: "Your Highness." ”

"Jing'er, let you suffer with this palace." The prince whimpered, looked at her with half-open eyes, and clenched her hand tightly.

The crown princess gently wrapped her arms around him, patted her back with her hand, gently and gently: "Your Highness, don't be sad, the emperor may be angry, and when the truth is revealed, it will be fine." ”

The prince nodded heavily, and murmured again: "If this palace is not the prince, where should Jing'er be." ”

"Where the husband is, Jing'er is there." The crown princess smiled, her face full of gentleness.

The crown princess is the daughter of the prime minister, who is demure by nature and dignified in appearance. exquisite, sixteen married to the prince, the two love and respect each other very much.

On the eaves, a person quietly watched this scene and did not disturb.

He looked at the night, his eyes could not dissolve the thoughts and worries, and he silently said: "Qiang'er, where are you." ”

Xia Jingnian searched the three palaces and six courtyards of the entire palace tonight, but still failed to find Ji Qiang.

Beauty Pavilion, Yu Meiren cried anxiously, she said angrily: "The one who killed a thousand knives took Qiang'er away, if I knew it, I would have cursed him to die a good death!" ”

Lin Qian laughed, she looked at the poppy beauty in front of her with great interest, and finally opened her mouth: "What's the use of poppies in a hurry, it's better to bribe the prince." Let him say a few more kind words in front of the emperor, and after being flipped over, he will blow the wind on the pillow, maybe the emperor will send the Imperial Forest Army tomorrow, so you don't have to worry about it here. ”

"Miss Lin is right! In reason, in reason. Yu Meiren looked at Lin Qian with blazing eyes, "Miss Lin, otherwise, you will go to the emperor for me today?" ”

Lin Qian said with a smile: "Since the emperor loves Yu Meiren very much, I have always been serving. The real poppies are all happy with their lovers. ”

The poppy face was panicked, she stepped forward and whispered a few words in Lin Qian's ear, the two looked at each other, you know my jaw.

Half an hour later, Lin Qian brought a human skin. The mask went to the emperor's bedroom and successfully stayed overnight.

The next day, the emperor really issued an order to let the Imperial Forest Army go to find Ji Qiang.

was so angry that An Nan and the queen almost vomited blood!
