After Chu Hongchen returned home, he carefully thought about the previous situation, he carefully analyzed the current situation, the only two people who had the advantage of assassinating the emperor were the two of them competing for the throne, so this assassination must have been done by Chu Hongze, and how could it be that when the emperor was assassinated, General Li was present, and he also had a meritorious role in saving the driver, isn't this clear?

Everyone knows that General Li and Chu Hongze are on good terms, and if the emperor reuses General Li because of the rescue of the driver, it is Chu Hongze who will benefit.

Thinking of this, Chu Hongchen felt more and more irritable, he didn't take Chu Hongze seriously at all before, but now Chu Hongze's power is getting bigger and bigger, what does he, the prince of a country, think, no, he decided to find a few staff members to discuss how to expose Chu Hongze's conspiracy.

Soon, Lord Shangshu Chu of the Ministry of Rites arrived, and he supported the prince from the beginning, and he should be regarded as the most staunch princeling.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I heard that the emperor summoned you to go with King Rui, I don't know what happened?"

"It's not that my father suspected this assassination to the palace, and this assassination happened suddenly, but it seems to have a purpose, but it's not that simple, but, in front of the emperor, my father didn't say anything." Chu Hongchen frowned and described the situation in front of the hall just now, and at the same time expressed his doubts.

Lord Chu also frowned when he heard this, he has been in the court for many years, and he naturally knows the situation in the court well, and as the prince's henchman, he naturally knows that this matter is not the prince's doing.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who do you think did this?"

Speaking of this, Chu Hongchen's eyes became more and more cold, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light, "Who else can there be, of course it is Chu Hongze, otherwise why did his people just save the emperor, they can ask for the glory of saving the driver, if they fabricate any evidence, they can also slander the palace, this is simply killing two birds with one stone." ”

"Chu Hongze, Chu Hongze, this palace really underestimates you, on the one hand, Mi sent someone to assassinate him, and on the other hand, he sent someone to rescue him, the bitter plan is just right, and the scheming is really deep."

Chu Hongchen couldn't help sneering, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he really looked away at the beginning, and didn't eradicate him when he was fledgling, and now he really regrets it.

"This ...... I heard that General Li was also poisoned, isn't this gambling with his own life? "Lord Chu is an old fox, he sees it more thoroughly than Chu Hongze, and he is more calm, he feels that there seems to be other inside stories in this matter.

"What is he afraid of, they must have made the antidote a long time ago, and there is still ...... There is also Wen Ruyi, how could there be any poison, they deliberately played it for their father. Chu Hongchen was already angry, and he wholeheartedly thought that this was a bitter plan set by Chu Hongze.

"That'...... Do you want to send someone to watch them and see what else they are doing behind them? Lord Chu knew Chu Hongchen's temper very well, so naturally he would not entangle with him, and let him talk about it first.

"Stare, you must send someone to keep an eye on it, this palace wants to see what other means this Chu Hongze has not used, how many things he has hidden over the years, this palace must dig it out for him this time."

Chu Hongchen's brows were furrowed, his face was full of anger, after this incident, his hatred for Chu Hongze became a little more.

He was originally the prince of the East Palace, the prince of a country, and the successor to the future throne, but now Chu Hongze is constantly developing his own power, and he obviously wants to intervene in it, and his people saved the emperor this time, and the emperor will naturally have a bias in his heart, and it will definitely be unfavorable to him at that time.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, according to the old minister's opinion, this assassination is not as simple as it seems, and it is unknown whether King Rui did it." A voice suddenly came from outside the study, which made the two people in the room stunned, and when they looked up, they saw Lord Ruan, the right prime minister, walking in.

Lord Ruan is Chu Hongchen's teacher, and he is also a veteran figure of Longteng Kingdom, his white hair is particularly conspicuous in the dark night, and he strokes his beard as he walks inside, "If this assassination is done by King Rui, he will definitely not let General Li rescue the driver, so even if General Li saves the driver, it will inevitably fall into the mouth, and it will also make the emperor suspicious." ”

Chu Hongchen couldn't help frowning when he heard this analysis, and his face was a little unpleasant, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous about his mentor, "Teacher, then according to your meaning, this matter was not Chu Hongze's doing, so who else could it be?" ”

If the emperor is assassinated, isn't it the two of them who are good on the surface?

"This matter is indeed full of suspicions, how we discuss it here is of little use, the most important thing is what the emperor thinks?" Lord Ruan has been with him since the emperor was a teenager, and he knows his mind best, I am afraid that now the emperor has begun to suspect the crown prince and King Rui!

"Okay, let's discuss this matter for now, let's talk about what to do next." Chu Hongchen was a little depressed, he was not a stupid person, and with the help of his teacher, he naturally knew that there was a secret in this matter, but he was still a little irritable.

……

At the same time, Chu Hongze hurried back to the General's Mansion, General Li's situation was not optimistic, and he didn't know what was going on now.

"Ruyi, how is General Li now?" As soon as Chu Hongze entered the door, he saw Wen Ruyi sitting at the table, and he hurriedly walked over.

Wen Ruyi saw Chu Hongze who was walking in a hurry, hurriedly stood up and grabbed him, made a silent gesture to him, and then pulled him aside to sit down, "Lord Wang, don't worry, General Li's situation has been controlled, but he hasn't woken up yet, Sister Shuyi is accompanying him inside, let's not bother." ”

"That's good!" After listening to Wen Ruyi's words, Chu Hongze put his mind at ease, through this period of time with General Li, he admired General Li very much, and regarded him as a friend, naturally he didn't want him to have any accidents.

Wen Ruyi looked up, only to see a layer of fine beads of sweat on Chu Hongze's forehead, she knew that he must be too anxious, so she took out her handkerchief and wiped it for him, Chu Hongze held Wen Ruyi's hand, and when they looked at each other, the two smiled.

"Did the emperor summon the prince and the crown prince over? Does it have anything to do with the Assassins? Wen Ruyi poured a cup of tea for Chu Hongze, and asked after watching him drink it.

Chu Hongze knew that Wen Ruyi had always been smart, so naturally he would not hide it from her, and he only sighed in a low voice when he thought of the things in the hall, "Yes, it is indeed an assassin's matter, and my father suspects that it was me or one of the princes." "As smart as Chu Hongze, he naturally knows the true meaning of today's emperor's words today.

"Then who does the prince think will do this?" Wen Ruyi had been thinking about this matter since she was sitting here just now, but in fact, she already had a suspicion in her heart, that is, the crown prince Chu Hongchen.

Chu Hongze looked up and saw Wen Ruyi's clear eyes, looked at Wen Ruyi thoughtfully, and then suddenly smiled, "Are you so sure that this king didn't find someone to do it?" ”

Regarding Chu Hongze's ridicule, Wen Ruyi couldn't help but roll her eyes and shook off her hand, "If you do it, you are not the Chu Hongze I know, and the Chu Hongze I know will not use such means for these things." ”

As soon as these words came out, Chu Hongze's heart instantly surged with warmth, he raised his lips and looked at Wen Ruyi gently, and his eyes became serious, "This matter, I suspect that Chu Hongchen did it, but I feel that something is wrong, but I can't say it, it seems that I can only analyze it when General Li wakes up." ”

"yes!" Although Wen Ruyi felt suspicious of Chu Hongchen, the poison on General Li's body made her feel a little strange, and like Chu Hongze, she couldn't tell where this strange place was.

"By the way, we weren't there at the time, what the hell is going on?" When they knew that General Li had been poisoned when the emperor was assassinated, they didn't know what the situation was at that time, and Wen Ruyi was very curious.

Speaking of the assassin, Chu Hongze's face also became solemn, "I asked the guards later, when the incident happened suddenly, the assassin rushed out of the crowd and went straight to the emperor, as if he had aimed at the target very early, knowing that the emperor would definitely stand here, and the arrangement of the day was made by Chu Hongchen, only his people would know where the emperor was standing, so ......"

This is one of the reasons why Chu Hongze is suspicious of Chu Hongchen, presumably the smart should be able to think of it, but this has also become a point that makes him wonder, it stands to reason that Chu Hongchen is not a fool, how could he not think of this?

Wen Ruyi held the silk handkerchief that wiped Chu Hongze's sweat just now, and his mind was also active, "This General Li's rescue is purely accidental, but in the eyes of some well-intentioned people, it will not be so simple, but the most important thing now is not how to get rid of suspicion, but to find Chu Hongchen's handle, does the prince have any other discoveries?" ”

Even if they suspect that Chu Hongchen did it, then there must be evidence, otherwise who will believe it?

The maid brought the freshly brewed tea, and the fragrance of tea immediately filled the entire room, Chu Hongze picked up the teacup and sniffed it lightly, and finally returned to an indifferent appearance, Wen Ruyi knew it at a glance, she leaned towards Chu Hongze, pulled the corners of her lips and whispered, "It seems that the prince doesn't have to worry about me anymore, did the prince find any important handle for the prince?" ”

After getting along for so long, Wen Ruyi also knows Chu Hongze very well, and since he is relaxed, it proves that things must have come to an eyebrow.

"Today, I saw a new guard with a sword in front of my father's side, his name is Luo Yulin, I think he appeared at some times, and it should be worth further observation." Chu Hongze thought of the guard who made him feel strange at first, and couldn't help but say faintly, he really cared a little about that person.

"So does the prince suspect that he is from Chu Hongchen's side?" Wen Ruyi also heard what Chu Hongze said.

But Chu Hongze shook his head slightly, "It's not certain yet, but he doesn't look like an ordinary guard with a knife, and he needs to be investigated again to verify it." ”

Chu Hongze believed in his instincts, so he had already instructed Wei Feng to investigate this person named Luo Yulin.
