，

The questions raised by Elder Xu Ge were also the questions of the courtiers present.

Meng Feiyan stood up and replied, "The princess went to the hunting ground with the concubine. The concubine was a female stream, and she didn't plan to go to the hunting ground, but the princess suddenly hurried to see the concubine, saying that someone was going to kill the king of Qi, and the concubine was in a hurry, so she hurriedly took the guards into the hunting ground, who knew that the concubine had just entered the mountains and forests, and was raided by assassins. ”

Xu Ge Lao frowned tightly, "How did the princess know that someone was going to kill King Qi?" ”

Meng Feiyan didn't speak yet, but was picked up by Zhao Tianqi, "I don't know, the situation was urgent at that time, and the princess didn't have time to make it clear." ”

Elder Xu Ge and the courtiers exchanged glances with each other, and then said: "Lord, this is strange, it is impossible for the princess to say this for no reason, she must have gotten some news from somewhere, and Weichen asked for a thorough investigation into this matter." ”

Who did the assassination of His Majesty, this matter needs to be investigated, even if it is suspected that King Qi did it, it is only a suspicion.

Zhao Tianqi nodded and said, "What Elder Xu Ge said is reasonable. Dare to assassinate Your Majesty, the murderer behind must not be an ordinary person, the elder of the pavilion is an old courtier who has gone through two dynasties, and he is even more loyal to the emperor and uncle of Dayue, this king thinks that the elder of the pavilion will investigate this matter, it is the most appropriate, what do you think? ”

The courtiers nodded one after another, "Yes, it is safest for Elder Xu Ge to come to investigate this matter." ”

Zhao Tianyi's face changed slightly, "This king thinks it's inappropriate." ”

Who doesn't know that since Zhao Tianqi entered Beijing, Xu Ge Lao has been looking at Zhao Tianqi, and Xu Ge Lao is investigating this matter, isn't it equivalent to Zhao Tianqi investigating this matter?

"What Yi'er means is that King Qi, you yourself said that it is not good to protect the monarch, and you are responsible for this spring hunt, so naturally it should be up to you to investigate this matter." Concubine Xie Shu took the words, and at the same time, she quietly glanced at Zhao Tianyi, signaling that he could not be impulsive.

Of course, she also knew that Elder Xu Ge had openly announced that he supported Zhao Tianqi, so she must not let Elder Xu Ge come to investigate, but she couldn't use this reason as an excuse to object.

Without waiting for everyone to speak, Concubine Xie Shu continued: "This palace looks at King Qi and seems to be injured a lot, if you really have more than enough heart and insufficient strength, it is better to let King Yi deal with this matter, after all, this matter involves the safety of His Majesty, and King Yi, as a son of man, should also do something for his father." ”

Zhao Tianqi said lightly: "What Concubine Shuniang said is also reasonable, for many years, the matters of spring hunting have been handled by King Yi, speaking of this Changding Mountain, King Yi is the most familiar with it." ”

Suddenly, Concubine Xie Shu's face froze, and she said that Zhao Tianyi was familiar with Changding Mountain, which meant that in disguise, if Zhao Tianyi wanted to do something in Changding Mountain, it would not be difficult.

Zhao Tianqi's words reminded the courtiers, if His Majesty and King Qi have an accident, then the most proud person is not King Yi, after all, Zhao Tianqi and Emperor Yongqing were assassinated, but Princess Qi and Princess Shi went to save people, so King Qi was lucky to save one, so King Yi's suspicion is not small.

Elder Xu Ge hurriedly saluted Concubine Xie Shu, bowed down and said: "Niangniang, the old minister is deeply favored by the emperor, as a minister, it is also within the old minister's duty to do something for His Majesty." ”

You say that as a son of man, you should be filial to your father, and your courtiers should be loyal to the king.

Zhao Tianyi wanted to say something, but was stopped by Concubine Xie Shu with her eyes.

"Then there is Lao Ge Lao in this matter, King Qi, you are injured, just take care of your injuries, Yi'er, you immediately go down the cliff to find your father, there is no need to bring Your Majesty back safely." Concubine Xie said.

Zhao Tianyi nodded, looked at Zhao Tianqi again, and said, "This King Qi shouldn't stop him, right?" There was a hint of contempt in his tone.

"Naturally not, King Yi, please." Zhao Tianqi's tone was light.

The business has been discussed, and everyone has taken their leave. After everyone left, Meng Feiyan frowned and said: "Brother Qi, the assassination of King Yi's mother and son is the most suspicious, now let King Yi go down the cliff to save people, I am afraid that even if Your Majesty is still alive, he will be ruthless, if Your Majesty is dead, then we will be in great trouble." ”

Zhao Tianqi's eyes were slightly dark, and he said: "Our people have already gone down the cliff to look for it, and Yun Shizi has also gone down the cliff, hoping to dare to rescue people before King Yi." ”

Meng Feiyan's brows furrowed tightly, "Can you only hope for this?" Although the cliff is not high, it is difficult to say whether it can survive or not. ”

What she was most worried about was that even if they found His Majesty first, His Majesty would already be a corpse, so even if they searched for it, it would be useless.

Zhao Tianqi closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said: "It's true that the hope of living is very slim, but we are not completely helpless, the assassination is obviously controlled by someone behind the scenes, Xu Ge Lao has already gone to investigate, and he can always find evidence." But I still hope that everyone is alive, whether it is His Majesty or the princess. ”

At the mention of Xie Qing, a trace of pain flashed in Meng Feiyan's eyes, "I didn't expect that the princess could actually risk her own life in order to help us, if I knew that this was the case, I shouldn't have let her come with me." ”

She thought she could protect Xie Qing, but what happened? She is fine, but Xie Qing's life and death are uncertain.

"Because of the relationship between King Zhennan, Yun Shizi and his wife are on our side, but the princess actually doesn't even care about her life......" Zhao Tianqi raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, "I hope she's okay, otherwise I really don't know how to explain to Yun Shizi." ”

How important Xie Qingzhi is to Yunjin, Zhao Tianqi can see it clearly, just like Meng Feiyan is to him.

"I hope the princess can live." Meng Feiyan's lips pursed tightly.

in the room

"Mother, that Xu Ge Lao is basically towards King Qi, if he is asked to investigate, he must be protecting King Qi, how can you agree!" As soon as Zhao Tianyi entered the door, he couldn't help but say the words that he had been holding back for a long time.

Concubine Xie Shu is the harem concubine, now that the queen is not there, the harem ladies are all headed by her, if she doesn't agree, Zhao Tianqi may not be able to beat her.

"Yi'er, what are you anxious about, even if we stop you, do you think King Qi won't investigate?" The corners of Concubine Xie Shufei's lips were slightly hooked, and she sneered, "Instead of letting him secretly check behind his back, it is better to agree to come down with the water." ”

Concubine Xie Shu knew very well in her heart that Zhao Tianqi had doubts in her heart, so he would definitely investigate, and he couldn't stop it at all, since he couldn't stop it, then don't stop it.

"But, concubine, if Xu Ge protects King Qi, wouldn't King Qi have nothing to do in the end?" In the past, Zhao Tianyi wanted to kill Zhao Tianlin, but now this person has changed from Zhao Tianlin to Zhao Tianqi.

Seeing that he was about to sit in the position of the crown prince, he suddenly jumped out of nowhere to a Zhao Tianqi, and Zhao Tianqi still held the edict of the first emperor in his hand, which was more justifiable than anyone else.

Concubine Xie smiled contemptuously and said, "Who said that?" Even if Elder Xu Ge intends to protect King Qi, it depends on whether he is so capable? Xu Ge always prides himself on being a loyal old minister, his words and deeds are seen by everyone, once he has the intention of protecting King Qi, the palace will spare him? Don't forget, the maiden home of the main palace is the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong. ”

In other words, unless there is evidence of iron beating, Zhao Tianqi can retreat with his whole body, otherwise, even if Xu Ge Lao is facing him in his heart, it is useless.

"Mother, but Erchen is still worried." Zhao Tianyi's brows furrowed tightly, "Xu Ge Lao has gone through two dynasties, and he is like a personal elf, and his uncle may not have anything to do with him." ”

Elder Xu Ge is not a simple person, otherwise he would not have been a cabinet minister for so many years.

Concubine Xie gently patted her son's shoulder and said, "Yi'er, you haven't understood yet." Our top priority is not to deal with Zhao Tianqi, let alone to deal with Xu Gelao, the most important thing at the moment is Your Majesty. ”

Zhao Tianyi's eyes moved, and he only heard Concubine Xie Shu continue: "Your Majesty was assassinated, and King Qi came back alive, but something happened to Your Majesty, and King Qi has fallen behind in this matter." All you have to do now is to go down the cliff immediately and find Your Majesty before King Qi's people. ”

Concubine Xie Shufei lowered her voice and said in Zhao Tianyi's ear: "If Your Majesty is dead, then you will bring Your Majesty's body back." ”

"What if my father is still alive?" Zhao Tianyi asked in a low voice.

Concubine Xie said coldly: "Didn't you understand what Bengong said? Bring back His Majesty's body. ”

Zhao Tianyi's heart was shocked, and his eyes widened, "Mother Concubine, do you mean that the father and the emperor are ......?"

"What are the chances of surviving such a high cliff?" Concubine Xie's tone was cold, without a trace of warmth.

Concubine Xie Shufei patted her son's shoulder and said earnestly: "Yi'er, this is a godsend, you must seize it." You hurry up and do what the main palace says, and the rest of the main palace will arrange it. ”

The emperor is dead, King Qi is suspected of killing the king, King Zhao is far away in the northwest, when the time comes, who else can compete with Zhao Tianyi? No one......

Zhao Tianyi's intuition was full of blood, as if he had foreseen what his yellow robe would look like in the future, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

"Mother, son-in-law will go." After speaking, Zhao Tianyi didn't even bother to salute, and rushed out quickly.

Behind her, Concubine Xie raised her hand to support the step between her hair, hooked her lips and smiled, and said, "Don't let this palace down......"

"Mo Lan, have you done everything that this palace wants you to do?" Concubine Xie Shu summoned the palace maid Mo Lan.

Mo Lan walked in and replied in a low voice: "If you go back to Niangniang, the slaves and maids will deal with it according to what Niangniang said, and they will never be discovered." ”

Concubine Xie Shu nodded with a smile, stretched out her hand to help Mo Lan up, and said with a smile: "Mo Lan, you have been with the palace for many years, you are at ease in the palace, and it won't be long before it will be King Qi or Xu Ge Lao, they will find you, do you know what to say?" ”

Mo Lan nodded and replied: "The slave and maid understand that the slave and maid are just a palace maid, and they only serve the maid on weekdays, and they don't know anything else." ”
