On the contrary, as the so-called excess, what he said today is without evidence, and if he rashly mentions that Jixiao has the intention of rebellion - these words fall in the ears of the emperor, he is afraid that the suspicion of slander and revenge will be confirmed.

At this moment, it can not only increase the emperor's suspicion, but also not hinder the prince's actions, which is just right.

Emperor Zhaofeng narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Jixiao, who was silent.

"Hearing now, does the national teacher have anything to say?"

"The matter of the Bai family back then, the court had already made a conclusion. The poor monk recognizes himself as a clear person, and believes that His Majesty also has a judgment in his heart, so the poor monk does not need to argue. Ji Xiao said slowly: "However, according to the rules, if someone sues, it should be carefully investigated-the next matter, the poor monk will definitely cooperate." ”

Emperor Zhaofeng nodded.

Speaking of which, it is necessary to check it out.

"I have thought about this matter, and if I make it out of nothing, I will never let anyone slander the national teacher."

Jixiao folded his hands and saluted.

"Amitabha."

"In that case, the national teacher should go back first today. If you find any clues in the coming day, you will order someone to inform the national teacher. ”

"Yes, the poor monk has retired."

"The prince should go back too."

Zhu Youzhu and Ji Xiao went out of the Heart Cultivation Hall one after the other.

Outside the gate of the hall, Ji Xiao seemed to have deliberately slowed down his pace, and when he was walking with Zhu Youjiao, he said in a very low voice: "Your Highness's move is acceptable, but the poor monk is a little caught off guard." ”

took the old things of the Bai family as a guide, and did not mention anything else, and mastered the proportion very well, and there was indeed some cleverness under careful consideration.

"Why did the national teacher decide that I did it?" The boy's tone was calm.

Ji Xiao smiled.

"Isn't it Your Highness?"

Who is behind Zhang Fu, he has almost already determined.

The boy was silent, staring ahead.

Ji Xiao glanced at the noble and handsome face, and said: "But His Highness seems to have forgotten one point - if you want to prove the truth of what he said, the only way to prove the truth of his self-proclaimed identity as the fourth son of the Bai family is true, is it possible that His Highness thinks that he can really hide from the world and confuse the truth?" ”

"Whether his identity is true or not, my father will try to verify it."

The young man's voice was clear and calm: "The national teacher will also know when the time comes." Why should you be so anxious that you may tempt me with these words? ”

A sneer appeared in the monk's eyes when he heard this.

"Your Highness has been impressing the poor monks more and more recently."

"The national teacher has been talking a lot lately, and it seems that he is no longer as calm as he used to be."

Ji Xiao's expression became colder and colder.

By this time, the boy had already crossed him and strode away.

Zhu Youzhu returned to the East Palace and summoned Qing Yu to his eyes for questioning.

"There has been news from the guards recently-"

"Back to Your Highness, I sent a message back to Beijing five days ago, saying that everything is going well, and I will return to Beijing in about ten days at most." Speaking of this, Qing Yu was a little hesitant in a rare way, "Does Your Highness really want to mention this matter to Your Majesty at this time?" ”

Zhu Youzhu said: "Today, Zhang Fu recognized his identity in front of his father. ”

In the previous life, Zhang Fu never admitted that he was a descendant of the Bai family until his death—probably because he couldn't face the eyes of others, or he didn't want to touch everything related to that identity.

But this time, he confessed himself in front of his father in this way.

Knowing that he would push himself to a dead end, knowing that doing so would only provoke the emperor's suspicion at most - in the final analysis, it was just paving the way for him and increasing his chances of victory.

Risking everything he had, his life and dignity, to pave the way for him, the crown prince.

So that day, he knew that he had been exposed, but he still insisted on returning to Jixiao.

The son of the Bai family is different from him, he doesn't know what the outcome will be in the future, and what the odds are, so he can only not listen to dissuasion, insist on going his own way, and do his best.

This is not just revenge, but also trust in him.

Maybe what the other party needs him to do is just let Jixiao get the punishment he deserves and avenge the blood revenge for the Bai family - that's all, and he doesn't even expect him to clear the name of the Bai family in the future.

However, in his opinion, there were many things that he had to do.

Not out of kindness, not out of mercy, but out of duty.

And Zhen Zhen once said to him - since he lives this life again, he can't live more and more unpresentable.

Speaking of which, he is very concerned about Zhen Zhen now.

……

In the evening, inside the Zhangjiasong Crane Hall.

"Mother, my son heard from the second brother that someone from the palace is here today."

Zhang Luan had a slight anxiety on his face.

Mrs. Zhang, who was sitting at the top, nodded: "Well, it's here." ”

"Said that she wanted Zhen Zhen to go to the Great Yongchang Temple with the Queen Mother three days later to participate in the blessing matters?"

Mrs. Zhang nodded again.

"Yes, I've already agreed."

Of course, the emperor told her, and she had no way not to agree.

Seeing that his mother was so calm, Zhang Luan became more and more anxious, and his tone was full of hints: "Can ...... Zhen Zhen is now praying for her mother behind closed doors, how can she go out so easily? ”

"How can the meaning of the palace be disobeyed?" When the old lady asked rhetorically, she frowned slightly and raised her hand to press her temple.

Seeing this, Zhang Luan was almost on his back.

Mother, it's all this time, so you don't have to act so meticulously!

"But Vera wasn't at home at all...... Isn't being able to show up after three days tantamount to deceiving the king? Seeing that there was only one Mother Jiang in the hall, Zhang Luan lowered his voice very low.

The sky can be seen, he really can't go on!

After all, even the second brother, who is known for his boldness in acting, is a little anxious today.

The old lady's eyelids jumped, and she squinted at her son, "What are you talking about, today I asked someone to send a letter over, and specially instructed the process of the prayer ceremony that day——"

Even if you don't believe her, can you have a little confidence in your future son-in-law?

Can't you stabilize and finish this scene well?

Zhang Luan was stunned when he heard this.

Ji'an sent a letter over?

No wonder my mother is so stable, and the co-authorship is the right word of peace?

And since Ji'an did not help the palace to deal with this matter, but instructed the so-called process, it seems that Zhen Zhen must be back soon......

Zhen Zhen went to Suzhou here, and there were people sent by Ji'an to protect her, and it was normal for her to be well-informed.

Thinking of this, Zhang Luan's heart settled.

Wait, what's going on with my mother's vaguely disgusted eyes?

Does he want to panic?

If Ji'an is a letter to him, why can't he be as stable as Mount Tai?

……

Two days later.

The sunset filled the sky, and the golden crow slowly slid towards the western mountain.

A pool of water was dyed golden, and the tender green willow leaves on the side of the road were also plated with a layer of golden mang, swaying slightly with the hot evening breeze in summer.

Cotton grabbed a willow leaf and bit it in her mouth, while throwing the reins in her hand to the innkeeper who greeted her.

Hengzhu is too late to enter the city today, and the girl's intention is to rest here for one night, and then leave for Beijing early tomorrow morning.

"Guest officer, you came just in time, those sons have been waiting for you for most of the day."

The guy said with a smile while welcoming Zhang Meishou's master and servant into the hall.

Zhang Meishou frowned slightly when he heard this.

Qing Lie on the side asked on her behalf, "Which sons?" ”
