A cluster of flames flickered in Li Zhang's cold eyes. He looked at Zhang Shuo coldly, waiting for his explanation.

"The secret guard came to report, saying that the crown prince and the crown princess went out of the palace to hang out and went to Jingzhao Mansion for a trip. Because he didn't deliberately avoid people, the movement was not small. Zhang Shuo hung his head, his face was ashamed.

As a confidant of the Regent's Palace, he didn't expect the prince to go to see Chen Zhaolin in person, and he didn't find out what the prince talked about with Chen Zhaolin.

It seems that since the prince's marriage, he has always made mistakes in his inferences. Not only the crown prince, but the regent is also a little different from before.

A Su Qiang, is it so influential?

He frowned, bowing his head for the regent's reprimand.

"...... with the crown princess," Li Zhang said lightly, "You go to Shangshu Mansion and ask Master Su to ask what happened." ”

Zhang Shuo nodded yes.

Li Zhang said again: "No, now that the palace gate has been locked, Lord Su can't hand over the news." He pondered for a moment, "It's better to ask Chen Zhaolin directly, he shouldn't dare to tell a lie." ”

Tomorrow is the time for the trial of the case, and the time is urgent, and nothing can go wrong.

"Yes," Zhang Shuo said, "My subordinates will run it personally." ”

"What are you going to do?" Li Zhang was already a little angry.

Zhang Shuo immediately figured it out.

It was Wang Xuanhu of the Ministry of War who ordered Chen Zhaolin to do things, and the regent palace was in the dark, so there was no need to come forward.

Zhang Shuo answered again, and then quietly retreated.

In less than an hour, Wang Xuanhu appeared outside the dormitory where Chen Zhaolin was staying in Jingzhao Mansion.

Chen Zhaolin is a civil official, who pays attention to going to bed early and waking up early on weekdays, and believes that health preservation is the most important thing. Today, I was scared out of a cold sweat by the prince and his wife, and finally took a bath and fell asleep, but before I slept for half an hour, I was woken up again.

He rubbed his eyes and came out, and saw that it was Wang Xuanhu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, who was sitting on the chair, and he was busy shivering while quickly sorting out his clothes.

Wang Xuanhu was drinking tea with his head down. If he didn't need tea to hang his spirit, the tea of Jingzhao Mansion wouldn't have been able to get into his throat at all. At this time, seeing Chen Zhaolin coming, he motioned to Chang Suiping to retreat left and right, threw the tea on the table, and snorted coldly.

Chen Zhaolin hurriedly stepped forward to ask for guilt.

Wang Xuanhu spit out the remaining piece of tea in his mouth, frowned and glanced at Chen Zhaolin, and said coldly: "I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down, I don't know what to say." ”

Get straight to the point so you don't waste time.

Chen Zhaolin then wanted to understand why the other party came.

This is worried about what the prince will do. Could it be that the crown prince will protect the auxiliary prince?

"Didn't say anything." Chen Zhaolin replied honestly, "I just came for a walk, and then I took Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess back." ”

Wang Xuanhu was born as a military general, the expression on his face was not fake, he raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, glanced at Chen Zhaolin deeply, and said coldly: "Lord Chen will not fool this hall, right?" ”

Chen Zhaolin took a breath of cool air.

Is this doubting yourself?

It turned out that Wang Shangshu made such a trip for this reason.

Originally, there was infighting in the military department, and Shang Shu wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of the Fuguo Gong, but he felt that this matter was a bit thrilling, but he didn't expect that he agreed to do things, and he was suspected of having him. Suddenly, Chen Zhaolin's heart was a little uncomfortable.

Now I see Wang Xuanhu coming over in such a panic, just because the prince is here? So is it His Majesty the Emperor's intention to dispose of the Fuguo Gong, or is it only their military department that is so tilted.

He was willing to take the risk because he guessed that the emperor meant it. can look at the current situation, the prince personally came over for a turn, and when he turned around, he scared Wang Xuanhu like this. Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor still doesn't want to abolish the Auxiliary Prince?

After all......

The Auxiliary State Mansion has only been cut in power over the years, and if the Auxiliary Kingdom Duke is really dead, there will be no one in the military department who can balance Wang Shangshu, and no one can beat the regent on the battlefield.

Could this be the meaning of the regent alone......

Chen Zhaolin's sleepiness woke up.

However, he was just speculating, and he also explained: "The lower official also feels a little strange about this matter, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really didn't say anything to the lower official." However," he paused, and then said: "Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess met the Auxiliary Prince, and what she said was not clear, and then Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess came out of it alone and did not bring the Auxiliary Princess. ”

"Oh?" Wang Xuanhu's eyebrows furrowed even tighter. He narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment.

The crown princess Su Qiang is the eldest daughter of Su Yiming, the secretary of the ministry. Although he was married to the crown prince as a concubine, Wang Xuanhu always speculated in private that Su Qiang was just a chess piece of Su Yiming.

Then she went to see the Duke of Fuguo, and she came with the prince, and the situation was incomprehensible.

Could it be that the crown prince got some will from the emperor?

Wang Xuanhu shook his head, thought about it carefully, and said, "In addition to these, what else is the prince doing here tonight?" ”

A trace of unhappiness flashed in Chen Zhaolin's heart.

In terms of official position, Wang Shangshu is not much older than himself. In terms of doing things, he already knew that Wang Xuanhu was doing things for the regent, and he was ready to stand in line like this. But why did he, Wang Xuanhu, wake himself up in the middle of the night, and the prisoners have been interrogated for so long.

Although he slandered for a moment, he couldn't help but answer.

"The prince came here and asked for a dog. Oh, that's the dog that Xia Guan bought to watch the door, and it's quite spiritual......"

"Lord Chen!" Wang Xuanhu suddenly shouted angrily, which frightened Chen Zhaolin and shuddered.

"Lord Chen is really a fool of the main department? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ran to you in the middle of the night just to get a dog? Why doesn't he want your head as the head of Jingzhao Mansion Yin!! ”

What is the ...... It's over!

Chen Zhaolin stood up straight suddenly, and the anger on his face could no longer be hidden.

"It's true that I asked for a dog, if you don't believe it, sir, you can ask the guards in the house, no one dares to lie."

Wang Xuanhu held the teacup in his hand, considering whether to fall on Chen Zhaolin's head.

But he endured it and stood up with a cold snort.

"Will everything be right tomorrow?" He asked coldly.

"Alright, proper." Chen Zhaolin hid his anger and replied.

Wang Xuanhu looked at Chen Zhaolin coldly, and only withdrew his eyes for a long time.

"Then," he said lightly, "Master Chen continue to sleep, and the main hall will watch the drama directed by Lord Chen tomorrow." With that, he kicked the curtain open and walked away.

Drama ......

Because of suspicion of him, he regarded him as a third-rate sect!

Chen Zhaolin stood in place, hot blood rising from the soles of his feet, almost blocking his head.

"Your Excellency......" Chang Sui, who came in from outside, looked at him, "Lord Shangshu has already left, it's still early, so why don't you rest?" ”

"What are you resting for?" Chen Zhaolin wiped his forehead, "Let's go to the study with the official and sit down." ”

"Yes!"

Chen Zhaolin took the long entourage, slowly walked through the cold road of Jingzhao Mansion, and pushed open the door of the study.

There was a lamp burning inside.

Chen Zhaolin raised his eyes and saw that the blood that had surged to the top of his head before was cold inch by inch.
